Great War Of The Demon God: Thousand Eyed Tree

"Giiyayayayaaaaaaa!"

"Hiii!"

The black sphere raises its agonised voice that hurts even to hear. The soldiers around are frozen as well, looking at that black sphere in shock.

I also get somewhat sick when I'm looking at that black sphere. I don't know why. However, those bloodshot eyes, along with its agonised scream that shudders those who hear it. My body won't stop shaking.

As I was looking while thinking that, changes started showing up on the black sphere. Up until just now, it was floating in midair perfectly round, but the black sphere's surface suddenly started moving bumpily.

The soldiers see that and go on alert. Both Mari and I also take our stance so that we can move right away. If that black sphere absorbed tens of thousands of monsters, it should be beyond anything we've ever seen.

Although we defeated all the S grades, aside from them, there were both A Ranks that are close to S Ranks as well as subspecies. There's no way that's just an ordinary black sphere. And then that black sphere started moving. 

"Gyaaaaaaaaaa!"

The moment the black sphere gave a scream different from just now, black vine-like things started extending from the lower part of the black sphere in a large amount. The back vines continue extending from the black sphere endlessly, thrusting into the ground one after another.

There are vines stabbing into the ground, and there are vines wrapping around themselves. And this time around, vines started showing up from the sides and from the top. The vines that extend continuously from all four directions, either stab into the ground one after another or wrap around themselves and rapidly change their shape.

What was then formed was, an enormous tree. I guess its height is probably about 100 meters. It's as tall as a high rise building. Its thickness is ridiculously thick. A jet-black tree like that ended up taking root. And in the next instant

Glare!

Bloodshot eyes the same as before opened up all over the black tree. ......ho-, how disgusting.

"Thousand Eyed Tree......it's my original......and on top of that, it's a hybrid that contains the Demon God-sama's power as well"

Lilith, one of the Seven Demon Generals, lands on top of that tree monsterーーthe Thousand Eyed Tree. The moment that very Lilith moved her finger, the black vines ended up even wrapping her up as well.

"Co-, commence attack!"

Over there, President Obbarman gives the order to attack. Tha-, that's right, it's not the time to be watching like that. We have to attack and defeat it while it's not doing anything to us!

The other soldiers probably thought so as well. They start casting their Magic one after another. Although their Magic land one after another, they only shave off a bit of the Thousand Eyed Tree's surface. Brand new vines end up wrapping around and fixing it right away.

『Tch, what a pain! Dragon Ruler's Bellow(Dragonix Roar)!』

She probably thought that ordinary Magic won't put a dent in it. Anima-san releases her Dragon Ruler's Bellow. The Thousand Eyed Tree catches it as it is without avoiding it, and a cloud of dust arises. Cheers going, 'Oooh!', erupt from the soldiers. I wonder how it went with this?

"......it's useless......something of this extent......can't defeat me"

However, what was audible was, not the sound of the Thousand Eyed Tree collapsing, but a monotone yet confident voice. The one who showed itself after something swung, 'Voom!', from within the smoke was, the Thousand Eyed Tree that had about 30% blown away by the Dragon Ruler's Bellow.

Inflicting an injury of that extent on the enemy would normally be something to be happy about, but the opponent is a tree that we don't know whether or not has any of that sensation. Additionally, brand new black vines are extending from the middle section, and they're wrapping around the places that got blown away all over again like they're repairing it.

"This is really troublesome huh"

Looks like Dorothea-san, too, can do nothing but smile awkwardly. Over there

"Doro-chan......if you return now......I'll put in a good word with the Demon God-sama for you......how about it?"

just the top half of a woman's body sticks out from the middle section of the Thousand Eyed Tree. That is......the absorbed Lilith. Looks like she became one with the Thousand Eyed Tree, and her lower half is buried in the Thousand Eyed Tree.

"Don't be stupid. I won't return anymore. I decided to fight on this side"

Dorothea-san, rejected Lilith's proposal bluntly. Lilith says a single, 'I see', and glares over at Dorothea-san.

"In that case, Doro-chan is an enemy......it's a pain, but I'll kill you"

The moment Lilith says that, the Thousand Eyed Tree starts moving. All of the Thousand Eyed Tree's eyes look glaringly over here. And then, when Lilith swings her arm, the black vines extend over here all at once.

"Magician Squad, put up a barrier!"

At Vice President Hiller's order, the Magicians put up a barrier all at once. Although the black vines were repelled by the barrier, they came attacking again right away. How are there so many? Vines in the hundreds strike at the fortress over and over again.

"Gunyuuuu......"

Both Mari and I have also joined in with the barrier's activation, but they're tremendously strong. Although we're withstanding it somehow, we'll undoubtedly be overpowered at this rate.

"......you withstood it......what about this then?"

Looks like Lilith is dissatisfied with the fact that we withstood the vines' attacks. She then twists the vines that were swinging down and turns them into a single bundle. Don-, don't tell me......

"Thi- thi- thi-, this is bad! This is real bad! Mari, we're getting out of here!"

"Eh? Ah, u-, un!"

I pull Mari's hand and run on top of the fortress. Perhaps President Obbarman noticed as well, he gives the soldiers on top of the fortress the order to run away.

Although the soldiers on top of the fortress run away as well

"Crush them"

the enormous bundle of vines swings down all at once. It swung down towards the fortress while bending like a single whip. The spot where the vine swung down ended up turning into smithereens and becoming plain rubbles. And then, we were also

"Fuwaah!?"

"Kyaah!?"

blown away from the fortress from the impact of the vine that swung down. We-, we're going to end up falling to our death at this rate!? Wha- wha- wha-, what should we do!?

"Ma- Ma- Ma-, Mari! Le-, levitate our bodies!"

"I-, I got it! ......what Magic should I chant!?"

Like I know! We're getting closer to the ground even during that time. Wha- wha- wha-, what do we do!? The moment I thought that

"Fuwaah! My-, my body levitated?"

Mari and my body levitated in midair. I thought that maybe Mari succeeded with her Magic, but Mari was also making a surprised look, so that's probably not it. 'Then who?', I thought, but I found out who right away. It was

『Are you guys alright』

"Anima-san!"

the Wind Attribute Ruler, Anima-san, who helped us. The other soldiers who were thrown out of the fortress are also similarly levitating in midair. Tha-, thank goodnesss.

We carry on to have Anima-san let us ride on her back. Dorothea-san was also riding on her back.

"Now then, it turned into something troublesome"

"Does Dorothea-san know what that is?"

"That is, a monster newly created with Lilith's Level 9 Dark Magic『Fusion』. It is something Lilith newly created by combining the tens of thousands of monsters that were around until just now"

That's why, that many monsters that were around ended up disappearing huh.

"So, how do we defeat it?"

"......Kana, please heal my arm. I'm going to get serious"
