So, this guy is Rehzel. The demonic deity.

I have an urgent report, sir.

The elven army has retaken Castle Lapolka. Glaster and Yagof were killed in-

Move.

You're ruining my view of the World Tree.

My deepest apologies.

Yikes! He's so menacing!

That sent a chill down my spine!

After contemplating the cause of our defeat, I have determined...

you are the one to blame.

What do you mean, sir?

You are neither monster, nor demon, nor spirit.

It begs the question, what are you?

Crap, the jig is up! That was too fast!

Rotten trickster! You're with that Liberated boy!

Indeed.

My name is Ellie and I serve the great ruler of this world!

Funny, I don't remember taking over the world.

The whole world? Well, fancy that.

Your owner clearly has a very big head with no brains in it.

How dare you?! No demonic scum gets away with insulting my master!

"Demonic scum," you say?

Quit laughing! I'll chop you into mincemea-

What an uncouth boor!

Master Allen, you must let me fight him!

- Please! Please!

- Cool it.

Just getting a look at the enemy commander was big progress for us.

What of Fortenia, Sir Allen? Is the World Tree okay?

Yeah, it's all good. The demonic deity was obsessing over it.

Really? He was interested in the World Tree?

I heard him say, "The Liberated One will come to confront me."

So I'm guessing he doesn't plan on leaving Fortenia.

Like a boss straight out of a video game. But hey, I'm not complaining.

Their 4 million extra troops are the bigger problem right now.

And I'm betting my new Deputize skill will come in handy!

We've wiped out the last of the monsters that were south of Castle Lapolka.

Please send your men to retrieve the magic stones.

Copy that.

We've managed to cut the Demon Lord's main force down to 1 million monsters,

but their 4 million reinforcements remain in good shape.

We've rallied our army into fighting shape and dispatched 100,000 troops to Nest.

Will the No-Life Gamers be handling the southern reinforcements on their own?

No. I'm changing our strategy.

The No-Life Gamers will work with my summons to intercept the 4 million troops coming for Castle Lapolka.

Meanwhile, I will fight solo to take out the other reinforcements coming from sea.

You're going to fight a million monsters by yourself?!

No, Your Majesty.

We summon creatures will be there to fight by Master Allen's side.

It's safe to say the enemy commander won't leave Fortenia.

Actually, there's something I want to ask you about that demonic deity.

Sure, go ahead.

I've noticed you elves have a special trait to your names.

Sophialohne, Volmaar, Gatoluuga, and Rohzen.

They all have an extended vowel somewhere.

The demonic deity's name is Rehzel.

For the most part, he looked like the other demons,

but I noticed he had long ears and silver hair very similar to Sophie.

Do you have any idea who he might be?

Maybe he's a high elf?

No. I don't remember one like that.

Then... could he be a dark elf?

You've already heard about them, I see.

The dark elves are the ones who got exiled from Rohzenheim, right?

Mm-hmm.

Is this war all part of a revenge plot?

Maybe, but that would mean the Demon Lord and his army are just helping.

It would add up if the ruler of the dark elves was named Rehzel, wouldn't it?

All the dark elves were exiled from Rohzenheim over a millennium ago.

I'm certain their descendants have created secret villages abroad,

where they continue to live even now.

The king who currently rules over them is Olbaas.

And as far as I know, his predecessor wasn't named Rehzel, either.

I see.

Sir Allen. I understand it may feel like this war is irrelevant to you and your human brethren.

But please... we beseech you to continue helping our people.

Why of course!

Saving Rohzenheim is the whole reason we came here in the first place.

Thank you.

I must prepare to head for the battlefield tomorrow. Please excuse me.

I've already deputized and organized my summons into squadrons.

So just hold down the fort until I get back.

Okay.

Remember that you're playing defense, so don't chase the enemy out too far.

Roger that!

One more thing, Dogora...

Huh? What is it?

Your Extra Skill is going to be our secret weapon once you learn to use it!

Huh?!

Based on the name, I'm betting it uses all your MP to hit the enemy with a devastating blow!

Like a one-hit super move!

It'll be even stronger than Cecil's Petit Meteor!

- For real?!

- Whoa!

Y-Yeah, well, that's only because mine is for multi-targets and yours is single-target!

I can't use any Extra Skills and I'm not especially strong.

So you're our heavy hitter, man!

You're not strong? How can you say that after going toe-to-toe with the Hero?!

Besides, you have your summons!

Here, I'll prove it.

Huh?

Your basic attacks hit as hard as my best creatures.

Now just imagine if you had a super attack,

you'd be our heavyweight champion for sure!

Anyway, it's time for me to go.

Please keep the city of Nest safe, Sir Allen!

Mm-hmm!

Alright, there's somebody I gotta talk to before I take on those one million monsters.

Master Allen. This is Ellie on the central continent speaking.

He has finally arrived.

Sorry, I know I'm late!

Pardon, Sir Helmios, but I believe you were instructed to come alone.

I figured it'd save time if we came together.

Besides, Sylvia is a member of my party.

So, you're a summon creature, huh?

I didn't know they could be so sassy.

I remember her.

She's the Sword Lord who came to visit the Academy with Dverg.

Allen can hear what we're saying, right?

That's correct.

The word from Rohzenheim is that your party slayed 2 million monsters in just 20 days.

What?! Not even we could pull that off!

Yeah, our job would be SO much easier if you'd stayed on the central continent.

Anyways, there are still 5 million monsters breathing down your neck

since the Demon Lord dispatched more troops, right?

Sounds like you're in a world of trouble.

Master Allen says that he will find a way to deal with it.

My little protégé is just full of confidence!

We've been fighting tooth and nail over here, but it won't end any time soon.

Which reminds me, there was a moment the other day

when our frontline troops suddenly regained all their MP and stamina.

Do you know anything about that?

That was my doing. I used this elven recovery elixir on them.

It only takes one of these to heal 5,000 troops in most normal formations.

That's unheard of!

I see.

But Allen used his power to make that item, didn't he?

No. This is a special elixir made by the elves.

Oh, c'mon. What's the point of lying about it?

You gotta take ownership of your accomplishments.

The Giamutan Emperor is known for handing out generous rewards, like a fancy title or rank!

I got him to make me a duke, y'know.

Listen, Sir Helmios. We summon creatures must go fight in Rohzenheim,

so we will be leaving the central continent.

To compensate, we will supply you with 100 elven elixirs now and deliver a thousand more within short order.

A thousand of them?!

Ten days from now, we will supply yet another thousand, assuming that Rohzenheim doesn't fall.

These are a gift from the Queen of the elves in return for the Giamutan Empire's support.

Is that so?

Wow!

In other words, the Giamutan Empire is going to owe Rohzenheim a big favor, huh?

Leave it to Allen to play political chess!

Syliva. Take these elixirs to the frontlines, would you?

All right.

One more thing. The commander leading the invasion of Rohzenheim is a demonic deity known as Rehzel.

Huh? A demonic deity?

Do you know of any weaknesses or good ways to defeat him?

You plan to fight? That's just going to get you killed.

You don't have the power needed to beat a demonic deity right now.

They're even stronger than I am.

Huh?!

Are you saying that you've never beaten one?

No, I have. Two of them, to be precise.

Lord Elmea designed my Extra Skill for the purpose of vanquishing demonic deities.

That being said, I lost many of my old friends in those battles.

You should avoid fighting Rehzel if you treasure your party members.

Fair enough.

So, what techniques or strategies would be effective against him?

Aw, jeez! Did you hear anything I said?

Here they come!

Let the grand sea battle commence!

I have to wipe out their entire force, no exceptions!

They've entered our range, master!

Deputize: Ellie!

Let's show them what Deputize can really do!

Yes, Master!

Recruit!

This new skill kicks ass!

It lets me turn my summon creatures into generals who command platoons of soldiers!

Let's stop them in their tracks. Aim for the sea serpents!

Okay, Master!

Gravity!

Wow!

The boost from Deputize makes Ellie's normal ability strong enough to defeat A-rank monsters instantly!

Everyone attack together!

Gravity!

Give 'em hell, team!

Don't let these monsters get near Nest!

I see dark-hair...

It's him! Kill that boy!

They finally noticed I'm the biggest threat, huh?

Drago!

I'm on it!

Master Allen, their aerial battalion is approaching.

Time to use your Awakened Skill!

Yes, Master!

Black Hole!

Sweet. That did the trick!

Don't let up! We've got a million of these bastards to beat!

- Right!

- Yes, Master!

Something's not right.

These monsters shouldn't have endless stamina like my summon creatures do,

yet they keep attacking without any breaks!

These troops weren't coming to attack Nest. Their target was the No-Life Gamers.

They're using a strategy meant to whittle down our stamina by attacking in shifts.

Master Allen, would you like to pull back and rest for awhile?

No. I'll keep fighting.

They messed with the wrong gamer. I came here ready to steamroll them.

They have no idea I once burned 5 days of PTO on a gaming marathon!

Master Allen continues to fight nonstop with no breaks or sleep.

Sir Allen...

I'm sure Allen will be fine pulling a few all-nighters, but it must be a slog fighting a million monsters alone.

Should we send the creatures that we have here to support him?

He left 35 of his 70 summons with us, after all.

No. There is an army of 4 million monsters arriving here tomorrow morning.

You cannot fend them off without support from the summon creatures.

Worse yet, the enemy appears to be utilizing a siege formation this time.

A siege?!

But Castle Lapolka is surrounded by a steep mountain range,

it should be impossible for them to attack from all sides!

They've already begun moving into position using winged monsters that can fly.

Their commander has likely learned from the loss they suffered in Tiamo.

They may even split into smaller squadrons and keep attacking through the night.

Damn. We managed to rally 300,000 troops to fight back, but they won't last long without sleep.

Master Allen has a strategy in mind to deal with that.

He does?

It will take at least five days until Master Allen returns.

During that time, we must hold the line and defend Castle Lapolka.

Based on how we expect the enemy

to deploy their troops,

this is the formation that we should use to fend them off.

Looks good.

You're right, having the summon creatures will be a big help.

Tomorrow, summons will be dispatched to distribute 2,000 elven elixirs and some trees.

Trees?

Yes. Let me explain the plan in detail...

Okay, Drago. Let's pick off their aerial forces first!

You got it!

Hellfire of Fury!

Writhe in the flames like the pathetic worms you are!

S-Such amazing power!

But that attack can only be used once! It's up to us to defend the castle!

Use your Skills like mad if you must!

The shame of a thousand generations awaits if you let this castle fall!

Yessir!

Deputize even gives them the personality of a war general.

I won't have to worry about the east side.

We have 2,000 extra mini-Antsys thanks to the Spawn Skill.

Let's start by lowering their defense, boys!

Spray them with your Formic Acid!

That takes care of the buffs.

The west side should be okay as long as we don't lose too many mini-Antsys.

Mirror has enough endurance right now to tank any kind of attack.

But...

Oh, lucky me! Use Total Reflect!

Exactly what I figured, the monsters on the south side are nothing but grunts meant to boost their numbers.

They won't pose a problem if we go all-in on defense.

Sir Allen's prediction was right on the nose, they're attacking us all through the night.

Good work, you two!

It's time to swap out!

Thanks. We'll use this chance to get some rest.

In response to the monster's constant assault,

we instituted three 8-hour shifts to allow the elven soldiers to take breaks.

This works well with Appo's awakened skill, Herb,

which shortens the MP recovery period to 3 hours and has a soothing effect.

Five days after our defensive battle against the Demon Lord's army began,

we were using more than 2,000 elven elixirs per day to stay in the fight

and had defeated more than 1.5 million monsters.

Despite that, the endless onslaught of monsters was taking its toll on the elven army,

including a rising number of casualties.

Grace Energy!

No, Captain!

- It's a crapshoot whether your skill works or not.

- Come back to us, sir!

- Don't beat yourself up over it.

We need you!

Over 10,000 elves have been killed in action. How many more do we have to lose before this ends?

Good to see you, Dogora! Keel!

Allen?!

Sir Allen has returned!

Wait, does that mean the one million monsters headed for Nest were defeated?

He actually did it, all alone...

Allen!

Did you get rid the monsters?

Of course.

Dude, you are one-man army!

You should get some rest, Sir Allen.

I already took a nap while Griff flew me here.

How goes the battle?

The enemy still has over 2 million troops left, which is 10 times more than our remaining forces.

All right.

I'll back you up with all the summon creatures I have on hand right now.

Ellie, Drago, Cerby! You're up!

Deputize!

This is where the real fight begins!

We truly have the power of miracles on our side.

Wouldn't you agree, Gatoluuga?

Okay! It's go time, people!

Right!

Fast forward to eight days later...

Extra Skill: Petit Meteor!

It's over...?

The No-Life Gamers and elven army managed to wipe out the Demon Lord's forces.

A total of 13 days had gone by since the monsters began their attack on Castle Lapolka.

Stupid Sovereign of Spirits.

After all that talk about how precious the elves are, he left them hanging while he just slept for half a month!

I cannot thank you enough, everyone.

The existential threat that was hanging over our heads feels like it was just a bad dream.

The only challenge left now is reclaiming Fortenia from the demonic deity!

It's strange that he hasn't moved even after suffering a major defeat.

It gives me the creeps.

How can we take back the city from an enemy like that?

I already have it all worked out.

Hm?

The gracious investment I asked the Queen to make has paid off in spades.

I never imagined those elven elixirs would become such a big deal.

It almost feels a little unfair to the Giamutan Empire.

Hey, what's she talking about?

I had the Queen call in a favor and bring in the big guns to defeat the demonic deity.

Aw, jeez. Cut me some slack, would ya?

Helmios the Hero?!

Wh-Wh-Wh-What is Sir Helmios doing here?!

We got him on loan from the Empire.

On loan?!

We gotta do whatever it takes to win!

The Hero has a special Skill that works on demonic deities!

What better time to put him to use than now?

Don't talk about him like an object!

I've been rented out for 10 days.

Guess that makes me worth a thousand elven elixirs, huh?

What a stand-up guy! Coming to the rescue of his young protégé!

Excuse me. Will the central continent be okay without you around to fight?

You don't have to worry.

The battle turned in our favor after they got a delivery of elven elixirs.

The demon commander is dead, so now they're just picking off the remaining monsters.

They don't need me around to handle that.

That's great news!

May we borrow a conference room? I'd like to plan our battle strategy.

Yes, of course.

You're up, superstar!

Oh jooooy...

Sir Allen never ceases to amaze.

He has such a casual rapport with the Hero.

I thought this final battle was going to be the worst of them all.

But if anybody can take Fortenia back from the demonic deity, it's those two!

Well, well, well.

Can you really afford to be spacing out right now, Rehzel, my demonic chum?

Kyubel.

What do you want?

Don't you have your own business to attend to?

Hey! Don't get snippety with me!

That's no way to greet a guy coming to offer moral support

when the invasion plan is on the verge of going down the crapper!

I have zero interest in your plans.

All that I desire is the World Tree.

There you go again. What a broken record!

I get it, you're a diehard believer.

But we enlisted you to mow down all those annoying elves, ya hear!

No one gives a crap about the tree! It's just an oversized hunk of wood!

Huh?

Yeah, that's what I thought. You better not forget who gave you those demonic powers.

What of my brethren?

Yeesh, the grudge you guys have over being exiled runs deep, eh?

The crotchety elders are demanding to go help the Demon Lord's army kill the elves,

while the king is trying to keep them on their rockers.

But they're all just dead weight if you ask me!

Oops, no offense.

Anyways, I hear the Liberated who decimated 7 million of our monsters is coming for your head next.

You gonna be okay?

Do you even need ask?
