The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Barbatos was swallowed by the torrent of shadows.

Having confirmed his disappearance, No-Name remained vigilant, but there was no sign of Seil.

"Jack! Where is that demon?!"

"How should I know?!"

Seil, who had teleported himself, was nowhere to be found.

It was natural to assume he had fled.

He had teamed up with Barbatos because he was weaker in combat compared to other demons.

However, that's exactly why Jack wanted to find Seil.

Demons are generally overconfident.

His abilities may be inferior to other demons, but that doesn't make him any less troublesome.

He could team up with any type of demon.

An opponent who adapts depending on the situation is troublesome.

Jack wanted to finish him off here.

That's what he was thinking.

However, Seil was thinking the same thing.

Suddenly, Seil appeared behind No-Name and Jack.

As No-Name turned to counter, Jack kicked him away.

It was a split-second decision. What was needed now was not him, but No-Name. That was the decision he made.

At the same time, Seil clicked his tongue.

"Tch!"

"Your only companion on this journey is me."

Seil had extended both hands.

Towards Jack and No-Name.

However, because Jack had kicked No-Name away, he was now out of range.

Still, Seil touched Jack.

At least.

He had to remove this man from the battlefield.

In this increasingly chaotic battlefield, a sniper who can accurately pinpoint the enemy's weaknesses is troublesome.

He can't be left alone.

That's why Seil tried to teleport himself along with Jack.

However, No-Name sent a slashing attack towards Seil.

The attack cleanly bisected Seil's torso.

However, the opponent was a demon.

Even if reduced to just his upper body, he was still alive.

"Go assist the others!"

Jack left those words behind and disappeared along with Seil.

It was a transfer with the readiness for a mutual kill.

Only one could remain on the battlefield.

Both understood that, but regret filled No-Name.

Jack, who could team up with anyone, was a valuable asset.

Because he knew that, the enemy prioritized Jack.

There are still more demons.

Humanity lost an excellent asset in the early stages.

It's just a transfer.

Wherever he is sent, Jack will likely survive, but whether he can return to the battlefield is uncertain.

"There's no time to be down..."

No-Name muttered and instantly moved to the allied forces' airspace.

There, multiple demons were being held back by Eluna and Yuushaku.

The reason the allied forces still maintained their front lines was largely due to their efforts.

No-Name appeared there.

"Let me assist. Elna von Amsberg."

"Oh? You're free now? No-Name."

"Something like that."

"Then can I leave this place to you?"

"Is there somewhere you want to go?"

"Yes, we won't finish this unless we defeat the enemy's commander."

Saying that, Eluna looked at the enemy's rear.

Asmodeus stood there, unfazed.

Facing him was Silver.

No-Name had also considered assisting there.

However, the battle between Silver and Asmodeus had been at a stalemate.

A staring contest continued.

That's why No-Name decided to assist the allied forces.

But it seemed Elna had other plans.

"Don't you think it's also an option to leave it to Silver?"

"If we leave it to him, the day will end. I'll personally cut him down!"

Saying that, Elna left the demons to No-Name and headed towards Asmodeus.

No-Name called out to stop her.

"Elna."

"What is it?"

"Be careful. That demon is different from the others."

"Don't worry. I'm also different from the others."

Saying that, Elna flew away.

Watching Elna leave, No-Name took a deep breath.

The battlefront between the allied forces and the demons was maintained by a precarious balance.

If the Emperor is defeated, humanity will undoubtedly be in a pinch.

That's why Elna had stayed here.

Entrusting this place to No-Name meant she recognized her strength.

No-Name channeled power into her hand that held Dis Pater.

Because she had to respond to that trust.

However,

"It's nice to see my daughter making friends."

"I'm not her friend. Brave."

"Aren't you comrades who've communicated through fists?"

"It depends on how you say it."

"I wish I had a comrade like you."

"Are you even listening?"

No-Name was exasperated but entrusted her back to the Brave, who spoke at his own pace.

"Don't hold me back, okay?"

"I'll try. Don't expect too much, though. Elna took the Holy Sword."

Saying that, the Brave readied his sword.

"Send reinforcements to the left wing immediately!"

Ansem was single-handedly taking command of the allied forces.

Leo and William were fighting in the sky.

The only one who could command their forces was Ansem.

In a battle where elites were barely able to hold back a single demon, Ansem had no choice but to focus on commanding.

He was frustrated but had to do what he could.

That's why Ansem was desperately commanding.

However, a sight that could break Ansem's spirit unfolded before him.

It was a pillar of light.

Another pillar of light had appeared in the royal capital.

The first demons to appear weren't necessarily all of them.

Certainly.

He had considered that.

However, the actual appearance of reinforcements from the demons was shocking.

He felt like his legs would give out.

Reinforcements in a battle hanging by a thread could decide the outcome.

At times like this, the commander must raise his voice.

However, Ansem was also human.

He couldn't inspire others when he himself hadn't recovered.

A voice echoed in such a battlefield.

"Listen!! Soldiers of the Allied Forces!! As long as His Majesty the Emperor is safe, humanity's elites can continue to fight!! Believe in the heroes! The SS-rank adventurers! The elites of each country!! They will surely defeat the demons! We are buying time for that!! Even if— we die, don't let the demons through!!" ŘÄɴƟꞖƐs̩

Leo's voice reached the entire battlefield.

The hearts of the soldiers, who were about to break, were reignited.

A clear chance of victory was visible.

Endure and win.

And hope for endurance was also visible.

Therefore, the soldiers all cheered at once.

And another event that further boosted their morale occurred.

"Heed my voice! O Holy Star Staff. The staff that reigns in the sacred heavens. Grant color to the colorless, sorrowful earth! The color to be granted is 'Deep Red'!!"

A magical circle large enough to cover the entire battlefield appeared.

And all the soldiers participating in the allied forces were "strengthened."

The Holy Staff that Letitia holds grants color.

When used on Leo before, it was gold. The color of possibility.

Now, the color used on the entire allied forces was deep red. The color of enhancement.

It's a simple enhancement.

However, with the supply of magical power from the Imperial Sword, it had a tremendous effect.

The soldiers of the allied forces were able to utilize that magical power supply.

The ones who felt the effect the most were the captains of the Imperial Guard.

The captains, who had been holding back the demons with multiple people, began to hold them back alone after receiving the enhancement from Letitia's Holy Staff.

The arrival of the Holy Saint. And the efforts of the captains of the Imperial Guard.

Thanks to that, the allied forces gained a sudden advantage.

However,

That was a temporary advantage.

If reinforcements from the demons appear, that advantage will crumble.

In the end, the outcome of the battle was entrusted to the strong.
