Upon learning that Kazuma Sato had been captured by the Demon King's army officers, Aqua and the others rushed to spread the news.

Kobayashi went to Youyou's house not only to gather the last companion, but also to tell the village chief that the village had been invaded by the Demon King's army.

A large group of people gathered and ran towards the forbidden area.

Upon arriving at the forbidden area, he saw Sato Kazuma standing outside, his somewhat haggard face showing lingering fear.

"Kazuma! Are you alright? Where is Sylvia?"

"You guys are slow. Sylvia has already been locked inside by my brilliant wit. It seems there's no way to open this door from Liman's perspective. If we leave it like this for a month, it should quiet down."

Only then did everyone realize that the hangar door behind them was banging loudly, accompanied by faint shouts and curses; it must be Sylvia pounding on the door.

"You locked her inside?"

Huihui hesitated for a moment: "Fine, no matter how powerful she is, she shouldn't be able to activate the weapon inside. Because no one knows how to activate it. But I didn't expect Sylvia to be able to break the seal."

It was clearly not Sylvia, but Kazuma Sato, but he dared not say it aloud and could only keep it to himself.

"The Demon King's army officers are locked up inside and turned into dried corpses... No matter what, it seems too pitiful to be defeated like this." Darkness looked at the door being knocked from inside and felt a pang of pity.

Was her kindness misplaced?

“That Sylvia has escaped from us several times, and you actually managed to catch her. That’s impressive, outsider!”

"These people seem to have already taken care of three Demon King's army officers. It seems that Sylvia is just a piece of cake for them!"

"No wonder the next leader of the Crimson Demon Clan, Youyou, and the most anticipated Huihui joined the team. It turns out that a single member can defeat a Demon King's army officer. I'm really impressed with you guys!"

The Crimson Demons gathered here showered him with praise. Even the thick-skinned Kazuma Sato couldn't help but blush and scratch his head in embarrassment.

Just then, Aqua asked worriedly, "Kazuma, isn't this a place where very dangerous weapons are stored? Is it okay to lock that okama up here?"

Upon hearing her concerns, the Crimson Demon Clan member said:

"Nothing will happen. Even we can't figure out how to use that, so Sylvia couldn't possibly do it."

"Yeah, if Sylvia can activate that weapon, I'll do a handstand and circle around Scarlet Devil Village."

Wait a minute!

Are you idiots saying this on purpose?

Do the Crimson Demons have a habit of deliberately provoking trouble? Do they just love planting flags?

For some reason, everyone had a bad feeling.

Suddenly, the observant Darkness noticed that the shouting had stopped.

Instead, there was inexplicable shaking.

She stomped her foot on the ground and said, "Everyone, something seems wrong. The ground is shaking."

"I have a bad feeling. I think it's best to run away first!"

Kazuma Sato urged his companions on.

"Wait a minute, what's wrong, Kazuma? We finally defeated the Demon King's army officer! Even though it was Kazuma who defeated him alone, we're still in the same team. How about the bonus or the score? Hehe, what are you going to buy with Sylvia's bonus?"

Seeing Aqua saying such things with such joy, and with multiple flags in place, he was finally certain that something was going to happen.

"You always do this! Why do you have to plant the flag?! Senior Kobayashi, let's retreat for now! No, we should use [Dimensional Array - Shangri-La] to teleport back to Axel..."

"Wait a minute, it's coming!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the ground suddenly rose up, and dust began to fly everywhere. Amidst the billowing dust, illuminated by the moonlight, appeared a serpentine body with its lower half transformed into a metallic color.

"Hahaha—! You're something else, little brother! But did you think we just wanted to take out our weapons? My name is Sylvia! As you can see, whether it's a weapon or anything else, I have the ability to integrate it into my body, making it one with me! I am Sylvia, one of the Demon King's military officers, a growth-type synthetic beast!"

What reached my ears was Sylvia's triumphant laughter.

In the end, he still succeeded.

"It's the Archmage Slayer! The Archmage Slayer has been possessed!"

"Abandon this village, run away quickly!"

"This is it! Teleport!"

The Crimson Demons screamed and scattered, completely forgetting their earlier arrogance.

Kazuma Sato shouted, "Hey, what's going on here? Explain yourself! What is Magic Killer? Is that really bad? Is that a weapon capable of destroying the world?"

Unfortunately, no one answered his question, and the Crimson Demons scattered in all directions.

The little girl was no longer able to speak.

Still Youyou, her face pale, explained, "The weapon that could destroy the world shouldn't be that one, but the one that merged with Sylvia is equally dangerous. It's called the Magister Killer... It has the property of being immune to magic. It's our Crimson Demon Clan's domain, a weapon specifically designed to deal with mages."

"—It's hopeless!"

Kazuma Sato clutched his head, looking utterly devastated.

Before them stood the Demon King's army officers, still laughing loudly with their heads tilted back. Bathed in moonlight, the archmage assassin's tail thrashed wildly, his arrogant appearance vividly etched in everyone's eyes. The fall of the Crimson Demon Village was imminent.

When everyone is in despair.

hum-

Violent energy gathered around her, and before she could even turn around, a fierce beam of light, carrying electromagnetic energy, hurtled toward Sylvia.

Because of the terrifyingly high temperature, Kazuma Sato felt as if his cheeks were being burned.

Sylvia, still laughing wildly, took the full force of the blow, but the price was a large hole torn open in her chest and abdomen.

Everyone turned to look at the man holding the giant rifle.

"you……!"

"Senior Kobayashi!"

"Xiao Lin!"

The expressions on the faces of those looking at him varied.

Kobayashi put away his rifle, blew on the still-smoking muzzle, and offered the simplest greeting to the arrogant Demon King's Army officer.

"—You're kidding me!"

Chapter 427 The Joy of a Garbage Collector: You Can't Imagine

Just when everyone thought Sylvia was about to go on a killing spree, her enormous, menacing body suddenly collapsed the next second.

It crashed to the ground with a dull thud, kicking up a huge cloud of smoke that obscured the sky and everyone's view.

"Wow ah ah!"

They covered their mouths and noses to shield themselves from the oncoming gale, and once everything returned to calm, no one dared to move.

Outside, there was a lively shouting, but in the center of the battlefield, it was as if the pause button had been pressed, and an eerie silence had fallen.

Even after Kobayashi stepped forward and kicked Sylvia in the face, there was still no reaction. Only then did the others finally realize that Sylvia, the Demon King's army officer who had just been clamoring to destroy the Crimson Demon Village, had been killed.

Why is this happening?

Even in death, Sylvia's eyes remained wide open, still in shock, clearly not expecting to die so easily. The magician assassin beneath her, now one with her, was still trembling slightly. The title of "Weapon of Destruction" seemed like a joke.

Is this metallic tail really a weapon powerful enough to destroy the world? Is it truly a magician killer? Even if it's just hype, being defeated in an instant seems too weak.

One can't help but wonder if the forbidden area of ​​the Crimson Demon Clan is an exaggeration, but seeing the Crimson Demons fleeing in all directions doesn't seem like a lie. Does that mean the Demon King's army officers were really defeated so easily?

"Hey, hey, you don't bring anything like this, do you?"

"What's wrong, Kazuma? You look constipated. Do you need to go to the toilet?"

"That's not it!"

"It hurts!"

Kazuma Sato punched the silly goddess on the head, and seeing her scream in pain, he finally realized that he was not hallucinating, but was in reality.

Darkness asked curiously, "What's wrong, Kazuma? Is something wrong?"

“There’s nothing wrong with it, but… um… how should I put it… this… that…”

He struggled for a long time without getting a clear answer. Compared to before, his expression now looked more like someone who was constipated and needed to go to the toilet.

"Isn't this too easy?"

"Yes, that's it!"

It was only after Megumin's reminder that a sense of relief and pleasure appeared on Sato Kazuma's face.

"Hey everyone. Aren't the Demon King's military officers supposed to be super strong, like Beldia, Banir, and Hans? Every time, we barely survive and only manage to defeat them in the end, right? Isn't this time too easy? In fact, it's so easy that I'm starting to suspect a trap. Was Sylvia really defeated? Or was she just faking her death?"

"...What exactly are you trying to say, Kazuma?"

"Look! Normally, Sylvia should summon the Demon King's army to wreak havoc, setting the entire Crimson Demon Village ablaze, ideally wiping out more than half of the Crimson Demon race as prophesied, bringing them to the brink of extinction. Then we'd gather the remaining Crimson Demons, find a way to defeat Sylvia, work together to achieve a hard-won victory, and finally finish it off with Megumin's Explosion Magic... That's our usual routine, right?"

"In that case, Scarlet Devil Village will be completely gone, Kazuma-sensei! Everyone in Scarlet Devil Village shouldn't have offended you, right?"

Youyou was so anxious she almost cried.

Unlike Megumin, who cherishes the memory of her compatriots forever, Yuu values ​​everyone in Scarlet Devil Village very much. Therefore, she would be very happy to accept the kind of ending that Kazuma Sato mentioned if she could avoid it.

"You, this isn't an adventure story from a fantasy world."

"Whether he wants an easy life or a busy one, I can no longer understand what Kazuma is thinking."

"Could it be that he can't bear to part with Sylvia?"

Aqua and the others continued to complain.

Ryuu then added sarcastically, "It must be because Lord Sato spent too much time with the enemy and was well served by those exaggerated breasts, that he can't bear to part with them. Even with Princess Peach's characteristics, he hasn't forgotten his original intentions? I'm quite impressed with you."

"No, that's not it! What's with this sarcastic tone? Is he subtly mocking me?"

Kazuma Sato vehemently denied it.

Besides, Sylvia is a chimera, originally a man. When she was taken away, she almost couldn't even protect her virginity. How could she possibly be reluctant to part with it?

"Who understands what you're saying?"
