"Prepare yourself."

Overcoming the past, the awakened Kokone turns to face Galdur.

Even as a familiar, unleash the potential of being "the strongest."

Kokone, who was already strong, has reached an even higher level.

Having finally retrieved Kokone, Kanata finally turns his gaze towards Galdur.

"Well, you see, Galdur-san."

"...Ugh!"

She sank all the monsters at the other two locations.

The rest are just Galdur and a few magical beasts.

She could say they were completely cornered.

[Kokone-chan is back!!!]

[How dare you do that to our Kokone-chan?]

[This worthless demon, I seriously won't forgive him.]

[Be prepared.]

[Go ahead and do it, Kokone-chan!]

[We're watching you!]

[Get your revenge to your heart's content!]

Viewers are reaching a concurrent audience of 2 million and also rejoicing at Kokone's return.

The enthusiastic fans seemed to have regained hope, as the comments were coming in at an unbelievable speed.

In contrast, Galdur was biting his lip, spreading his arms to the sides.

"W-What are you doing here?!"

He released the accumulated magical power into the surroundings.

However, it's a desperate and monotonous attack.

It's too late for it to work now.

"Blow everything around you to smithereens─"

"[Absolute Zero]."

"Wh...!"

Galdur's technique itself... freezes in midair.

With just a single swing of her spear, Kokone stopped the movement of the magical energy.

Before the overwhelming power of the awakened Kokone, he couldn't even use his techniques.

"I will show you no mercy."

"...!?"

Kokone spread her wings wide and soared into the sky.

The wings wrapped in ice were illuminated by the sun, becoming a dazzling silver.

That beautiful figure is like an angel.

[Kokone-chan is beautiful!!]

[Sparkly~!]

[Cool and cute!!]

[Kokone-tan is divine.]

[Like an angel...]

[It's Angel Kokone!]

[Huh? She has always been an angel, right?]

It seems that the subordinates are getting excited, for better or worse.

This is all because Kokone came back.

With the sun at her back, Kokone struck down with her iron hammer.

"It's over─[Ice Judgment]."

Hailstones fall from the sky.

It's like a meteor shower.

"Gaaaaaaah!?"

Galdur has no room to dodge.

Those wings and body are magnificently being plucked.

Galdur is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army from Another World.

It should have a certain level of strength.

However, Kokone is overwhelming.

"I can no longer stop my feelings for you, Master."

"...Ugh!"

Kokone's only weakness was her quiet personality.

It's gone, and there's nothing she can do about it anymore.

Galdur grimaces intensely as he prepares to fall into ruin.

(Is this the end, Familiar Kokone! And then─)

Galdur glances away briefly.

(The hero Kanata, who commands this...!)

Galdur reaffirms the threat with his own body.

Hearing that Kanata had lost his power, he thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, the result was that they were awakened due to their own blunder.

The monster is called "True Kokone."

However, Galdur can't just do it for free either.

To fulfill the mission as an advance party.

"Monsters, you! Protect me!"

Somehow regaining his composure, Galdur issued commands to those around him.

The monsters at the west entrance should still be there.

However, there has been no response at all.

The ones who answered instead were the familiars.

"Is this what you mean by a monster?"

"It's already stained with blood, though."

"Mama gets scary when she's angry."

"Wh-What...!?"

Luzeria, Elvi, Mika.

Utilizing their respective traits, they were also defeating the remaining monsters.

With this, the monsters in the west are all exterminated.

[Big sister!!]

[I'm scared of Elvi's blood curse! lol]

[It's the scary Mama ( ；ﾟДﾟ)]

[These guys are still around, huh...]

[Too overpowered, lol!]

[When I think about it again, they're too strong, lol.]

[It feels like just a moment ago it was all a lie.]

And then, a voice is heard from behind Galdur.

"That's how it is."

"...Ugh!"

The one who pressed was Kanata.

Crossing the ice path made by Kokone.

This is precisely because they are adept at using the Romen Series equipment.

"It seems you weren't blessed with good companions."

"This...!"

Galdur also took a defensive stance with both hands.

However, Kanata swings down his sword without hesitation.

Using that defense-ignoring ability.

"[Spatial Disruption]."

"─Gah...!"

It's a clean cut.

Galdur's body splits in two.

[Whoaaaaaa!]

[Yessssssss!]

[Right down the middle!]

[As expected of the Demon King!]

[Kokone-chan was strong!]

[Kokone-chan! Kokone-chan!]

[Thank you!!]

Then, light began to emerge from within the Galdur.

It's Kanata's skill [Competition].

It is as if it is returning to its rightful place, igniting a flame in Kanata's heart.

"It's back."

With this, the hunt is complete.

─It was at that moment that it was thought of.

"Stop messing around, daaamn it!!"

"'"...!"""

Galdur raises his voice.

As expected of a demon, what a formidable vitality.

As if struggling just before death, Galdur spread his arms apart with a separated body.

"I was such a fool to trust others! In the end, this is probably the best way to use [Competition]!"

"That's...!"

In response to that, magical power is gathering from various places.

The directions are to the three entrances of the dungeon.

It's the magical power of the monsters that Kanata and the others defeated.

(There was still a smoldering ember...!)

This is also due to the effect of [Competition].

If the sharing of abilities is possible, it is also possible to gather everything for oneself.

Before the complete loss of the [Competition], Galdur used his skill one last time.

Then, Galdur's body began to regenerate.

The magic power needed for resurrection has gathered.

"Fuhahaha, I can feel the power rising."

And then, the body is completely regenerated.

Galdur rose up in the air.

"Wonderful. Is this true power?"

"""...!"""

At the same time, a loud heartbeat echoed.

In addition to magical power, they are also stealing abilities and other things.

An incredible presence.

[Huh!?]

[Did he absorb the power of the monster?![

[What the hell is this guy?!]

[Didn't they defeat it?!]

[No, but if it's the Demon King!]

[Can he do it...?]

[Please!]

The viewers are also in an uproar.

No wonder this is happening on the surface, not in a dungeon.

If Kanata is defeated here, the invasion will resume immediately.

In response, Kanata said a single word.

"You don't understand anything."

"What did you say?"

"I'll teach you."

Once again, with a sword in hand.

"The way to use [Competition]."
