Having already sought their help to set up a magical barrier, asking for more help would be going too far for Wiz.

"Tsk."

Kazuma Sato admitted that he had been negligent, but he had made many preparations and would not give up so easily!

"Youyou! How are your preparations going?!"

"Yes!...My body...is so swollen...! I'm almost at...my limit!"

Yoyo is another layer of insurance.

Relying on the opponent's [Crimson Demon Crown] ability, he absorbed the scattered spiritual energy of the Crimson Demon Clan and turned it into his own nourishment, then took the opportunity to unleash his strongest attack magic!

"Yoyo! Unleash your strongest attack spell at the densest concentration of enemies!"

"……learn!"

Seeing Huihui unleash her [Explosion Magic] to her heart's content and then leave with a satisfied expression, Youyou, who was secretly competing with Huihui, didn't want to lose. So she had been secretly absorbing the magic power dissipating from the city wall, until she finally reached her breaking point—

"My name is Youyou! I am the next patriarch of the Crimson Demon Clan and also the strongest mage in the Crimson Demon Clan! Gathering the power of the entire Crimson Demon Clan, I will wield the hammer of justice against the Demon King! — [Blade of Radiance]!!!"

A bright light suddenly shone, and a thick magic spell condensed above Youyou's head, radiating a light, or rather, a presence, that could not be ignored even at midday.

"Go, Youyou! Let them see the power of the next leader of the Crimson Demon Clan!"

"Charge! The strongest mage of the Crimson Demon Clan!"

"With all that we have, let the Demon King fall!"

Perhaps it was because of Huihui's 'heroic' fall that Youyou resonated with everyone in the Crimson Demon Clan.

Amidst their cheers and encouragement, a super spell, absorbing the magical power of all the Crimson Demon Clan members and becoming hundreds of times more powerful than the [Explosion Magic] released by Megumin, crashed down like a meteor onto the most densely packed area of ​​the Demon King's army.

The Demon King's army, which had just formed a defensive formation, was once again met with a devastating blow!

But this is just the beginning!

"Your Highness, I'm leaving this to you."

"Yes, Mr. Kazuma."

As the powerful spell ended, Kazuma Sato raised his rapier high and shouted, "Mages with remaining strength, come to the rescue! Everyone! Charge with me!"

"Oh—!!!!" xN

With his momentum rising, Kazuma Sato chose to press his advantage and engage in a blade battle!

The city gates opened, and a group of adventurers charged forward with overwhelming force, like a sharp knife piercing through the Demon King's army's lines. They surrounded the few elite members and charged forward, striving to give them a glimpse of the Demon King!

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

If Aqua isn't around, Eris will take her place; if Megumin isn't around, Yuuki will fill in; and if Suoh-senpai isn't around, he'll ask Mitsurugi Hibiki for help! He even brought along two other female thieves as backup.

The Demon King Special Attack Squad has officially made its debut!

With Mikami Hibiki as his spearhead, he, wielding the demonic sword, truly lived up to his reputation as the third-ranked super adventurer in the kingdom. Most monsters were no match for Mikami Hibiki, who was over level 50, and were all killed as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Above them, the dragon knight Dust provided cover in mid-air. They charged at an extremely fast speed and in the blink of an eye, they broke into the heart of the Demon King's army.

However, it also encountered obstacles.

The remaining Demon King's army officers and the Demon King's daughter, along with the Demon King's army's top combat force, came to meet the challenge!

When Mikami Kyouya was stopped, she clicked her tongue in amazement: "Tsk. Hey, Kazuma! I'll handle things here, you keep going!"

"Mitsuken Hibiki?! Don't do anything foolish. Wait for the others to arrive, then we'll...!" Sato Kazuma tried to stop him.

But then she heard: "Stop wasting time! ...We've come this far, what are you still saying? There's no other rescue! Hurry, the Demon King is just ahead! ...I believe in you."

"Stop showing off now! Mitsurugi Hibiki... don't die, you idiot!"

Kazuma Sato clenched his fists, turned his head away, gave a low shout, and continued charging forward.

"Ah, I will."

Despite saying this, he still raised the demonic sword in his hand with a serious expression, ready to fight to the death.

Those who remained were Yougou and his two companions.

Without the exceptionally powerful Mikasa Hibiki to clear the way, Darkness had to take her place.

However, her attacks were completely ineffective, and in the end she could only rely on her round shield to force her way in, taking a lot of hits from the enemy.

"…Kazuma!"

"Yes, it is Kazuma."

谷雅

"It hurts! It hurts so much... but... it feels so good! Ha... ha...! It really feels so good!"

"Don't enjoy yourself now!"

The masochistic knights in the squad seemed to have found some fun at this moment.

Hopefully, this idiot won't deliberately fail, leading to the absurd outcome that "harassing the Demon King is the female knight's job."

Fortunately, Darkness still had her bottom line even in this situation.

Finally, they reached the Demon King's location!

But to their utter surprise, the Demon King was already waiting for them there, and as soon as they showed up, they were surrounded by countless Demon King soldiers.

"Finally here, heroes! I've been waiting for so long! By the way, is one person missing? Oh well, one more or one less won't make any difference... But how foolish of them to dare to rush in like that."

The demon king before them exuded a terrifying aura as he slowly rose into the air.

Looking down with an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Do you really think you can defeat me just by coming before me?! Don't be ridiculous! To defeat me, you'd have to reach at least the level of that Demon Swordsman! Not to mention... as the Demon King, I can amplify the power of my subordinates to the same level as mine!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if he were about to cast a spell.

But seeing the Demon King's confident demeanor, Kazuma Sato laughed instead: "Did you think I'd be so foolish as to barge in?! Take this!"

He pulled a small cube from his pocket and smashed it without hesitation.

"Just you wait! Magic is forbidden!"

"……What?!"

The Demon King's eyes widened, for he discovered he could no longer use magic!

"Hahaha, pay for your arrogance! This is an extremely special magical artifact. Once released, it will render everyone in this area unable to use magic, and the area is extremely vast! ...Well, it wouldn't work if I had used magic beforehand."

The props that Kazuma Sato brought were made by Megumin's father, Hyouzaburo.

This item is very powerful, but it retains its characteristic of being a liability to your own team. While the Rubik's Cube can block magic, it also disables your own team's magic.

However, he had anticipated this.

Therefore, none of the members of the team are currently a mage!

"...You said it before, right? The magic used before couldn't be stopped."

"That's it."

"Hmph, hmph, hahahaha—"

"W-What's wrong?"

Kazuma Sato didn't understand why the Demon King was laughing so loudly, but he knew that the other party must have some kind of conspiracy!

I heard it again.

"What a pity, hero! I had already cast a spell before you arrived!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the demon army surrounding them unleashed terrifying power!

It turns out that the Demon King had already given his subordinates the same strength as him.

"What--?!"

Kazuma Sato's cleverness was completely thwarted.

"Mr. Kazuma! What should we do?!"

Eris panicked too. She wasn't Aqua; she didn't have weakening magic and couldn't launch effective attacks or provide support.

"I do not know either!"

"Ha...ha...it really came to this...female knight...demon king...humiliation...masochism..."

Darkness began to gasp for breath.

Sato Kazuma clutched his head in anguish at her unreliability: "Seriously—! Don't make things worse at a time like this, you idiot knight!"

"Hahaha—! Give up, hero! Even if your last companion were here, you couldn't fight me."

"……etc."

The Demon King's words reminded Kazuma Sato.

Despite having unrealistic ideas, he still wanted to do it.

Take a deep breath and shout to the sky with the loudest voice I've ever had—

"Help! Suoh-senpai!!!"

This sudden action startled everyone present, even the Demon King was amused and burst into laughter.

But Kazuma Sato continued to shout for help regardless of the consequences.

Although I really wanted to say that what he was doing was bizarre, for some reason, the other members of the team also started shouting loudly along with him—

"Mr. Wu, help me!!!" x4

The Demon King was enraged by their nonsensical behavior.

"Hmph. Looks like it's time to wrap this up."

Just as he was about to order his men to kill them, a beam of light pierced through the dark clouds.

"what?"

While the Demon King was momentarily stunned, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
