I took a quick look around and confirmed the status of the battle.
The adventurers are clearly exhausted, but the monsters are still being defeated one by one.
As soon as they defeat a monster, a new one springs up.
Every once in a while, an adventurer or two will be killed.
There is no replenishment of adventurers.
Because of that difference, the adventurer’s side is being pushed.
f that’s so, then ── reduce the numbers!
I ran out to the front with Eleanor.
I smashed a skeleton in half from the side that was sparring with an adventurer.
「And you are……?」
Upon closer inspection, the raggedy adventurer looked at me curiously.
There’s no time to talk. I quickly ran to the next monster.
If I find myself in the middle of a battle, I will intervene and kill the monster with one blow.
While reducing the number, I made sure that there would be no more damage on our side.
I ran through the battlefield. After I passed, the bodies of the monsters piled up.
As I repeated this, the battle situation slowly changed.
The adventurer who was freed up by my help went to help the other adventurers.
With more people, we were able to defeat the monster when we attacked together.
That’s how we beat them, and that’s how we pace ourselves.
The tide has turned. The adventurer’s side was pushing back.
Just then, an adventurer slashed at me.
「Onoreeeeeeeee!!!」
It’s a young male adventurer. Eleanor effortlessly catches the long sword that is swung down from the top.
「You’re the leader of the monsters!」
「What are you saying?」
「Don’t play dumb! You give off such a ominous aura!」
The man said, annoyed.
……
Uh, yeah, I guess so.
Eleanor’s black aura is that way no matter how you look at it.
I mean, this army of monsters is originally hers.
I can’t help but be misunderstood.
To be honest, this guy is about right.
「Wait, that’s not who he is!」
Another adventurer came from behind and stopped the man.
I saw that it was one of the people I had just saved.
「What the hell are you talking about?」
「It’s true! You have to believe me.」
The man stopped moving. I could see the hesitation clearly.
I didn’t have time to explain, so I just let him go and moved on.
I knock them down, and knock them down, and knock them down.
After defeating a certain amount of monsters, I noticed something.
The monsters you’ve encountered are new. Unlike the previous ones, I don’t see any signs of a fight.
That means they’ve just been born.
「Does this mean that the pace at which we beat them has completely outpaced the pace at which they are regenerating?」
（Looks that way.）
「So how do I stop them from being born altogether?」
Now that I have some time to spare, I ask Eleanor how to solve the problem.
（Well…）
「Well, it was your power, wasn’t it?」
（If it were still under my control, I could stop it like it was breathing, but this is the first time it’s happened.）
「……」
I was speechless. It’s a very delicate subject and I can’t retort.
「I’m sealing it.」
A female adventurer said from the side. It’s the magician-looking woman I just saved.
「Seal?」
「There’s a specialist on standby. Once we’ve wiped out the monsters, we’re supposed to go to the summoning point and seal it off.」
「So all I have to think about is wiping this thing out.」
「Yes!」
The female adventurer nodded vigorously.
Her eyes stare straight at me.
Eyes of expectation and trust.
「If that’s the case, let’s kick it up a notch.」
「Eeeeeh, you mean you’re not serious yet?」
「Yeah, well.」
I nodded. The woman was growing more surprised.
Because up until now, I’ve had to help.
It took a lot of effort to save the ones who was in the middle of fighting monsters. It’s fine if I’m helping those in melee combat because we can sync up, but for others like magicians and archers, they’re often already pinned down and in close contact when I come in to help.
If I gave it my all, they’s would get caught up in it, so I had to hold back and fight pretty hard.
But I can give it my all from here.
Just when I was ready to give it one more try.
「It’s, It’s really bad!」
「Uuwaaa, what the hell was that?」
There were shouts of fear from the people around me. We’re all looking in the same direction.
I looked in the same direction.
There was a giant with horns and fangs, and a fierce-looking face.
I’ve never seen this monster before.
「What the hell is that?」
（Sandros, the king of hell. My ……well, I guess you could say it’s my trump card.）
「Hell ── that’s a big name.」
（By the way, that’s enough power in itself to change the course of a battle.）
「Oh, come on.」
I was a little dumbfounded. I can’t believe you came here with such a secret weapon.
As I was going there, a group of adventurers came running from that direction. They ran away from the direction Sandros was in.
「I didn’t hear anything about a monster like that.」
「I can’t fight against with that!」
The adventurers, who had never fled before even when the situation was unfavorable, fled one by one.
If I was told that it was the emperor of hell, I would be convinced with its impactful appearance. …… Well, it can’ t be helped.
The panic is contagious and the front line is on the verge of collapse.
「Where he is now is where monsters are born, right? I was thinking earlier, that place is near the cave where Mari was.」
（Looks that way.）
「If that’s the case──」
There’s not a moment to lose. If this continues, there will be a total collapse.
I used my warp feather to fly to the cave where Mari was.
「Uwa!」
I was surprised. It was as if a large wall had instantly appeared in front of me.
I jump back a step. So I took a closer look and realized that it was Sandros’ leg.
Up close, it looked like a wall.
Then my vision cleared and I saw a dozen adventurers lying around me.
Sandros got them, huh …… It hasn’t been that long since this guy came out.
Suddenly, Sandros looked at me, as if he had noticed me.
「Guooooooooooo!」
It suddenly roared towards the sky and then stared at me.
「Isn’t he getting angry all of a sudden?」
「Guooooooooooo!」
「And he’s staring at you. Wasn’t he your subordinate? What did you do?」
（I guess it was a bad idea to tie them up in contracts and make them work for free for hundreds of years.）
「It’s clearly the cause!」
That would make me angry. It’s only natural for the so-called ” Emperor of Hell” to be angry when treated like that.
Sandros swung down the weapon he was holding.
It was a large sword, almost five meters long, like a machete.
Eleanor is poised to receive it. Gashin. There was a shockwave around me, and a fallen adventurer was blown away.
It’s not enough to be passive.
I latched on to Sandros from here.
I flew at it just before the second slash came and cut off its arm. His arm flew off in the direction of the day after tomorrow and snapped a tree with a snap.
「Guooooooooooo!」
Sandros shouted more and more with bloodshot eyes.
He threw a punch with his remaining arm. I avoid it and run up the arm in one fluid motion.
When I got to his shoulder, I jumped towards his face.
「Guooooooooooo!」
More roaring, more quivering in the air, more rustling at the hem of my clothes.
I held Eleanor at the ready.
「I have nothing against you, but you need to disappear from here!」
With both hands, I swung Eleanor down and cracked Sandros in the skull.
The fallen Sandros stared at me with bloodshot eyes until the end.
「Is he going to resurrect too?」
（Given time.）
「Now they’re going to hate me.」
That’s what I thought, but well, I had no choice.
After that, I went around killing the remaining monsters.
The battle was coming to an end at an accelerated pace, and soon the adventurer in charge of the seal arrived to seal the point where monsters are born – Mari’s cave.
The matter was settled, and a victory cry was raised around me.
