Having completed the mental image, they put their hands on the ground in unison and activated their magic.

The moment they did…

“Whoa!?”

“E-Earthquake!?”

“Th-There!!”

The ground suddenly began to violently shake.

Immediately after that, a wall made with earth magic rose out from the ground as if it was growing out from it.

The earthen wall was about the same size throughout the area as the one they had just discussed earlier with the intended thickness and height.

Yet, they noticed that the wall’s width of certain sections varied from person to person.

“I see… Their previous statements were their declarations of how wide the wall could be created in a single go…”

“That’s right. You can still check the progress now, just by looking on the other side of the wall.”

Augusto, after finishing casting his magic, shouted out to the commanders that were not convinced of a number of things.

Then, as if his words had caught their interest, the commanders ran to the other side of the wall.

“Oh, do be careful. There’s a cliff over there.”

Augusto pointed to what had been a flat plain earlier and said it had now become a cliff.

While doubting his words, the commanders slowed down their running speed.

The result…

“Wh-Whhoa!”

“Th-This is!”

“Amazing…”

The soil that was used to create this towering wall was procured from the ground on the other side of the wall.

As a result, there was a very deep moat behind the wall.

“So that’s why, he told us to be careful, didn’t he?”

If they hadn’t heeded his words, they would have probably fallen off the cliff.

The commanders from each country broke out in cold sweats at that fact, and finally were convinced of Augusto and the others’ attitude earlier.

“If you can wield this level of magic, it’s no wonder… they can afford to be so relaxed.”

“Truly… I feel as if I’m dreaming.”

The soldiers who were watching from behind the commanders also groaned in disbelief at the outcome.

However, Augusto and the others who were receiving such praises remained extremely calm.

“Well, it’s nice to get praised.”

“Huh?”

Augusto smiles wryly as he says that.

The commanders displayed a puzzled look at Augusto.

“Well, to be honest, considering what Sir Shin might have done, I can’t accept such honest praises…”

How did it compare to Shin?

With that in mind, the Ultimate Magicians could not be too boastful about their magic.

Just as Thor was about to state this, a cloud of dust rose in the far distance.

Then the cloud of dust slid sideways with tremendous momentum, moving to surround the former imperial capital and the hordes of demons.

“That is, could it be…”

Augusto, a bad feeling about this, used his far-sight vision magic to investigate what the cloud of dust was…

“I knew it…”

He spotted Shin flying high above the ground with his flight magic, while creating a huge surrounding wall with his earth magic.

What was that about Shin? when they were having such a hard time creating a wall of five or ten meters in width?

How many dozens of meters of wall are you building at once?

And how long have you been continuously casting your magic?

Augusto and the others were still dumbstruck, and the commanders were utterly astonished with their jaws hanging wide open.

“We too, won’t be left behind in creating the wall! Come on, you guys! If you remain there like that, you’ll be left inside the wall! Evacuate quickly!”

The astonished commanders from each country and Garan hurriedly evacuated at Augusto’s words, while imagining a future where they would be left inside a wall full of disaster-class demons.

“Don’t let Shin bear all the responsibility! We also need to continue in creating the wall as much as possible!”

At Augusto’s words, everyone began erecting the wall again.

Shin, who had been flying at high speed while creating a huge wall, suddenly stopped, then crossed in between the hordes of demons and Augusto’s party.

When he reached a certain point, he now created a wall towards the former imperial capital.

(You mean you’re leaving the rest to us?)

Shin didn’t want to do everything by himself, but wanted Augusto and the others to do their jobs as well.

That way, this achievement will belong to all of them.

Augusto suspected that Shin had probably made that decision.

“Honestly… He’s so ignorant about the ways of the world, but he’s got good perception in the strangest places.”

“He’s a strange one, isn’t he? As usual.”

“Absolutely.”

Thanks to Shin, Augusto though they could manage.

Augusto’s mouth widely grin with smiles at that thought.

“Come on, we’re almost done. Let’s do this!”

“Yes!”

In this way, the wall that Shin had created up to the halfway point and the wall that Augusto and the others had completed finally connected, and a full encircled wall that completely surrounded the former imperial capital was finished.

† ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ † ‡ †

We were able to create a large wall completely encircling the former imperial capital.

This should buy us some time.

In the meantime, we can formulate countermeasures.

Of course, the ultimate goal is to eradicate the demons, but we have to discuss how to do that, and the demons from the Schtrom’s side have finally shown up.

To be honest, I was worried that this ended up only as a stalemate.

With this thought in my mind, I returned to Aug and the others.

I released my flight magic and landed on the ground, where I was greeted by a loud cheer from the soldiers from each country.

“That was awesome! King of Magicians! (The Demon King)”

“No! I think we should call him Lord of Magicians (The Demon Lord) now!”

What the hell? The Demon King alone is already a devastating deal, and now you’re calling me Demon Lord! [1] (T/N: This is a Japanese joke, they are adding a suffix -sama to his previous Demon King title.)

“Demon Lord! What the hell? It strangely fits very nicely!”

“Demon Lord! Demon Lord!”

I was stunned by the sudden outburst of the Demon Lord title.

…Whe-When the hell did we become the Demon King’s Army…?

I was completely stunned while Sicily and also Aug came next to me.

“Shin! That was amazing!”

“Goof grief… What the hell was that? Honestly, it looked like a bizarre phenomenon, didn’t it?”

“What do you mean by bizarre phenomenon…? We had to surround the place before the demon hordes arrive. I did it in a hurry and it turned out like that.”

“Good grief, as expected since you are not aware about yourself.”

“Huh? Was that no good?”

I didn’t use any fancy offensive magic, and the soldiers were receptive, so I thought it was okay.

“That was just too much beyond a paranormal phenomenon for any of them to comprehend. It’s sort of an escape from reality.”

Escaping from reality… when I was having such an exchange with Aug, the commanders also gathered around us.

“No, no, as expected of the man who is known as the King of Magicians, the Demon King.”

“Indeed. I thought His Highness Augusto’s magic was amazing, but this is a tad…”

“It’s in a different order of magnitude, isn’t it?”

Aug took over the line from the commander who was fumbling with his words.

The commanders squinted their eyes at Aug, who had said something that was difficult to say in a straightforward manner.

“What are you so surprised about? Don’t you understand that we know best about the tremendous difference in ability between Shin and us?”

The commanders once again looked surprised at Aug about his unconcerned comment.

That may be true. It was easy to forget that Aug was royalty.

You wouldn’t be able to say directly to someone’s face that a member of the royal family was inferior to someone else.

It would be impossible for them to declare such a thing using their own mouths.

“If there’s this much of a difference in ability, there’s nothing to feel ashamed about. So don’t worry about it.”

“That being said, Aug, from now on…”

I was about to ask him about the future plans.

[Muh-muh-muh, ha-ha-ha! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!”]

Seemed like loud-speech amplification magic.

Suddenly, a joyful laughter rang out, audible to all of us at the front of the wall that we had rushed to create.

[No, no, as usual, you’re performing extraordinary and ridiculous things.]

And this voice was familiar to me.

“Aug! This is!”

“I know!”

[Fu-Fu. It’s been a while. Your Highness Augusto, Shin Wolford.]

“You Bastard! Schtrom!!”

Yes, the leader of the devils. It was the voice of Oliver Schtrom.
