As expected of an S-ranked demon, it's not going to be easy.
A monster with a dragon-like appearance that emerges from the ocean in front of you. The Leviathan, the ruler of the sea.
The monster, which is rated S class, is such a powerful enemy that a coalition of top-notch adventurers can finally defeat it.
It's also an opponent far beyond the level of an individual fighter.
Nevertheless, it's for Kyou-sama's sake. I have no intention of retreating.
With that said, the one who leaps to the front line is Phytis, who has the title of a brave man.
She is a martial artist who specializes in single-handedly hunting high-value demons as ingredients.
In fact, there are many A-ranked demons among the demons she has captured so far.
But even she has never defeated an S-ranked monster.
The trajectory from the rapier turns into countless vapors and scratches the Leviathan's scales, but it does no damage to the body.
Then, as if to counterattack, it spits out a breath of super-pressure water from its mouth.
It's not a bad idea to have a newborn baby.
''Pi-ii-ii-ii!
With a bird's call from above, a huge pure white bird thrusts its claws at Leviathan.
That is Siemrg's Rock, a figure already larger than a giant elephant.
However, even the claw attack is not fatal to the Leviathan, as it takes a blow from its tail and retreats into the sky, scattering its numerous feathers.
Originally, Seemurg's danger level was the highest ranked SS.
In a decent fight, the Seemurg is superior. But that is only if the Seemurg is fully mature.
The current Rock is still old enough and big enough to be called a child.
She is a huge divine bird that can even hold an elephant, but she has yet to reach that level.
In terms of rank, she's probably only up to A-ranked.
That's no match for the S-ranked Leviathan.
Our strength is not inferior to that of a group of high-level adventurers.
But we're definitely not a match for them.
The Leviathan uses the sea as its battlefield and dives into the sea to attack at any moment.
This meant that you were constantly under attack by surprise, and the only way to attack was to counterattack while out of position.
Since my attack methods are limited to swordsmanship, I can't find the right time to attack when the target is so deep under water.
I guess it's time for me to step in.
But then Jack, who had been floating quietly next to me, stepped forward.
I'm on my way to ...... and you can do something about it?
Yeah, I've been saving my class change for this day, my evolution.
Evolution . I have heard of it.
Some demons can be reincarnated from their current race to a higher race by gaining a certain level of experience or increased ability. That's called evolution or class change.
Does that mean you can evolve to a higher race now?
Yes, after meeting my brothers, the condition of my evolution was fulfilled through the journey. I was going to break this seal one day when my brother was in trouble, and now seems to be the time.
And then Jack's body is enveloped in light, and his pumpkin body cracks one by one.
Then, as if breaking through its shell, a new Jack appears from the light.
Huh ...... so this is evolution. It's a bit weird, but not bad.
And then a pumpkin gentleman in human form appeared.
The figure, dressed in tailcoat and wearing a hat with a staff in one hand, reminds you of a nobleman or gentleman of the kingdom.
...... but the head is still a pumpkin.
Now, let's get this over with, shall we?
I don't know if the character has changed with the evolution, or if it's just a gentleman's way of saying and acting cool and creating countless fireballs around you.
No, those aren't just any fireballs! It was as if it had appeared from the depths of hell, its blue flame carrying an unusual heat.
"Ignis Fatus, the flame of fools, shall we call it? It is the fire of hell that exists only in the underworld.
The pumpkin gentleman in front of me, Jack, was easily able to use the flames, which are only possible when a senior sorcerer connects the gate to the underworld.
There are already more than ten flames of the underworld standing around Jack like lanterns.
Then it's time to close the showdown. Let's showdown!
As soon as Jack waves his wand at the Leviathan, all the flames around him head towards it at once.
This much fire, even for the Leviathan, will not be safe!
But then I was blown up easily and Jack was blown up too!
The only thing that has changed is that an E-ranked demon, although still evolved ......, was not as good as an S-ranked ......
I can't believe it.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
Don't take the scale to an unnecessary event!
I don't know if it was the influence of Keogh or what, but I made a comment about it.
You can see that Rock is already blown up and lying on the ground, and Phytis is also very exhausted.
I'm going to have to play my trump card.
While thinking this, I broke out in a cold sweat and was about to make up my mind.
Without missing my momentary rigidity, the Leviathan dives out of the water and leaps into the air, opening its huge mouth to see it coming towards you.
Not good--!
I tried to evade, but it was already in range, and I knew that if I evaded it now, the whole place would be taken away, so I made a prediction of the future, and the snow fell on the whole area.
The Perfect of Absolute Zero
The moment I heard the name of the spell, which sounded like a singing voice, the Leviathan was completely frozen in mid-air as it tried to swallow me.
The entire ocean froze, and the topography of the sea itself had changed.
Both Phytis and I looked at the owner of the magic that changed the weather and even the terrain in an instant, and saw the white witch standing on the edge of a cliff and a small doliad riding on her shoulder.
...... I'm here to help you.
"Minna! Ys was asked by Kyou to come to help you all! Don't worry about it!
It was the Snow Witch and her friend Dori, whom I got to know sometime ago.
Her abilities rival or exceed those of the country's representative heroes.
Her attributes of snow and ice are, in a sense, even more natural enemies of the water-governing demons than fire.
You will be forced to fight on the ground with the icy ground, as the Leviathan has no sea field, which is Leviathan's specialty.
The movements that you couldn't catch when you were in the water have been halved on land.
Thank you! Mr. Ys!
I thank the Snow Witch, raise my sword again, and turn to the Leviathan.
This will get you there.
Hang on, Kyou. You sent all these reinforcements, I'm not going to let it turn out badly that we didn't make it.
I'm going to beat this thing to win you and Mina, and I'm going to get you there in time!
Determined to do so, I ran across the frozen battlefield.
