“Master Rust!”

“It’s fine. It’s done!”

The preparations I’ve been making while talking to Roa and Taula are finally complete.

The magic item I made from Rihalzam’s magic stone, that I call overeater, is the starting point. Then I 『combine』 a group of scrolls with 『composite activation』, and they stabilize as they float in front of me.

It’s the same 《Serial Manifestation》 with six scrolls, but what’s in front of me is a seven sided magic circle, with overeater as its starting point.

This is my answer to the 『composite activation』 that is hard to keep active for too long.

“『Manifest all at once』, Hipopo brothers.”

A lot of energy is extracted from the overeater magic item, filling the scrolls.

While that happens, a sound echoes that feels like overeater is screaming for some reason. But that sound is soon drowned out by the arrival of Hipopo brothers.

In the blink of an eye, all Hipopo brothers are shot out of the magic circle, and they keep this momentum as they roll down the hill.

It’s a hippopotamus avalanche.

Hipopo brothers are bigger than the Lesser Hipopo that Shellrule made. It’s like the difference between a kid and an adult.

And these Hipopo brothers are rushing to save the Lesser Hipopo.

This crazy manifestation is possible thanks to the ample supply of magic elements provided by overeater. And the best part is that this one doesn’t place much of a burden on me.

“What is this…”

Even Roa is shocked by the flood of Hipopo brothers.

And eventually, they reach the giant sea urchins, just as they are about to catch up to the Admiral army.

The sea urchins are thrown aside and high into the air like they’re toys, and the impact tears them apart.

“Ahh. We made it in time.”

I breathe a sigh of relief.

“Master Rust, what’s that magic item anyway?”

Asks Roa, after the shock wears off.

She’s pointing to the overeater magic item, as it still sounds like it’s writhing and screaming.

“Well, basically, it’s something that stores magic elements, but it makes that weird sound when magic elements are extracted from it. It’s something to improve, I guess…”

“Well, I for one don’t think it’s much of a problem. The sound is getting lower anyway.”

Says Taula. She’s right, I get the feeling that it’s becoming quieter.

“It’s like it’s groaning as it dies. Creepy.”

Roa doesn’t mince words, as usual. I decide to move on from that.

“Well, apparently when Rihalzam became a demon, he became the eight one, the lowest seat.”

“Lowest Seat of Gluttony.”

“That’s right.”

“He did eat through the food supply of the capital.”

Taula immediately accepts it.

“But that nature is perfect for a magic item that stores magic elements.”

“I get the feeling that you’re talking about something boring again, Rust.”

“Ah, Kalin. Welcome back.”

“Big sister! I’m glad to see you’re safe.”

The Admiral army is back, including Kalin and Ahri.

“So, Lady Kalin. Was Zwei there?”

Asks Roa while hugging her sister.

“Probably, in the middle of all that.”

Answers Kalin, while pointing to the First Seat of Delusion.
