Chapter 370: A Strange Alliance
“An Oni tribe…!?”
“No way, are these new enemies!?”
The sudden appearance of the Oni tribe threw the soldiers of the Iwood Kingdom into confusion.
To them, demi-humans were still sworn enemies.
The situation hadn’t improved at all—in fact, one could say it had gotten even worse.
“There are humans over there!”
“Are you allies of the ‘Sorcerer’!?”
It was the same on the Oni tribe’s side.
To them, humans were enemies as well.
And besides, this was inside the Sorcerer’s fortress.
Any humans here could only be seen as the enemy’s accomplices—the ones who had stolen away their loved ones.
“Do not falter, brave warriors of the Iwood Kingdom! Crush the Oni tribe and the golems together!”
“Who cares if they’re the Sorcerer’s allies or not!? Kill them all! Leave no one alive!!”
Valeya shouted, and one of the Oni warriors roared in response.
Tension crackled between the two forces, with the golems standing between them.
“Waitttttttttttttt!!”
But then—someone stepped in to stop the clash.
Dodging through the golem’s legs, the figure rushed forward and threw himself into the arms of one of the Oni warriors.
“Dad, stop! You can’t fight these people!”
The one who halted the battle was Rou.
The young Oni boy ran out before his kin, shouting desperately.
“Rou! You’re alive!?”
“Dad…!”
It seemed the man was Rou’s father.
The killing intent that had been about to explode suddenly loosened and faded away.
“I was worried sick! Sara got captured, then you disappeared too… I thought I had nothing left to lose, so I launched this suicidal attack…!”
“Humans are our enemies! But these people are trying to save my sister! So we can’t fight them!”
“Rou… what are you saying?”
The man looked stunned by his son’s plea.
But Rou didn’t stop.
“Please, just cooperate for now! Don’t fight! At least until we save my sister, please don’t fight them!”
“Rou, listen—”
“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!”
Before the father could answer, a golem lunged at them.
The man swung his club with one arm, holding his son tight with the other, and smashed the golem apart in a single blow.
His strength was unbelievable. Without even using magic, he shattered the combat golem purely with brute force.
“Damn it! None of this makes sense! I don’t understand anything anymore—but whatever! I’ll crush every last enemy that stands before me!”
“For now, just kill these things!”
“Kill the Sorcerer! Then we’ll kill the humans after that!!”
The Oni warriors hurled themselves at the golems.
Seeing that, even Valeya and her soldiers hesitated, their fighting spirit dampened.
“They’re still enemies, yes… but the ones we should strike first are these golems.”
Valeya destroyed one of the golems with her spear.
“Forget the Oni tribe for now! All units—focus on the golems!”
“Yes, sir!”
Following Valeya’s command, the soldiers turned their weapons toward the golems.
It was a situation that could only be described as “riding the same boat as your enemy.”
Facing a common foe, those who had been killing each other just days before now fought side by side.
“Destroy the golems!”
“Crush them!”
“Doesn’t matter if they regenerate—just keep smashing them!”
“UOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!”
They broke the golems apart.
Even if the monsters regenerated, they kept destroying them relentlessly.
“O… Oooooo…”
But gradually, the golems’ regeneration began to slow.
Perhaps their limit had been reached—or maybe the summoner’s mana was running low.
Whatever the reason, these golems were not infinitely self-repairing.
Slowly but surely, the end of the battle was drawing near.
“…We’ve wasted too much time. He’s going to get ahead of me again.”
In the midst of the fierce struggle, Lubase muttered under his breath as he slashed through another golem.
