The war reached its climax.

All of a sudden, all of the True Demons retreated at once.

This unnatural movement caused the Combatants to become cautious and put their guards up higher.

“What tricks are they playing now?” Barry spat out some blood as he wondered.

“Ah? You’re not dead yet?” Lord Bloodcloak asked while breathing heavily on the side.

He pulled Barry back to where Kitty was.

“What are you doing?” Barry asked strangely.

“You’re out of combat, and my Blood sea is here” Lord Bloodcloak seriously answered him.

Barry suddenly realized.

True, while in combat, I can’t die.

But now that both sides have retreated, combat has already ended.

Paying attention to even that, Bloodcloak really is meticulous.

Barry looked down at his steel boxing gloves.

The knuckle part of the gloves has already cracked and would soon crumble.

The battle just now was too intense that he wasn’t sure exactly how many enemies he already killed.

If the battle gets any more intense, I won’t be able to fully protect everyone behind me.

Damn it!

Why did the True Demons suddenly act so insanely!?

Barry silently cursed them in his mind.

Kitty’s voice suddenly rang out: “Everyone be careful, the space crack is rapidly growing, the True Demons retreated in order to protect it!”

This intel quickly got relayed across the entire battlefield.

But when everyone looked at the True Demons——- they had already finished putting up a solid defense, ready for any attacks.

An old man came by and asked in a low voice: “What now?”

Kitty sighed: “There’s no other way, the most powerful enemy is travelling through the space warp, I can’t stop him”

“You mean——–”

“I do, the Lord of True Demons is coming”

Everyone fell silent.

The most powerful True Demon in the 900 million World Layers was about to join the fight.

Abruptly, the Combatants’ expressions changed at all once.

They couldn’t help but look back.

A towering great tree had appeared at the very back of their formation.

It was a powerful, divine tree, the strongest existence within the 900 million World Layers.

“The Saint Bramble Tree!”

“Why is it here?”

“The Saint Tree wouldn’t participate in any war, why had it come here this time?”

“I know! The Bramble Bird Kingdom’s reinforcement must’ve arrived!”

Everyone yelled out their thoughts.

But if it really were reinforcements, why couldn’t they see even a single Bramble Bird?

While everyone was still in doubt, the Saint Bramble Tree’s bright green leaves began to glow.

Tiny subspaces started to open up on the leaves.

Countless precious treasures as far as the eye could see emerged out from the Saint Tree.

Almost like a rain of treasures.

The treasures appeared sentient, as they flew towards the Professionists appropriate to use them.

A swordsman wouldn’t receive a Blade.

A martial artist wouldn’t be given a magical scepter.

A male Professionist wouldn’t be given female armor.

Everyone received the item most suitable for themselves.

A stone glowing in transparent non-colored light silently floated to Lord Bloodcloak.

He took it in his hand.

A second later, his face changed and squeezed the stone without hesitation.

The glowing stone immediately got absorbed into his body.

Right away, Lord Bloodcloak’s presence and body shook.

“What’s wrong with you?” Barry couldn’t help but ask.

Lord Bloodcloak answered him: “This is an [Eternal Stone of Wisdom], it can only be found very rarely, deep within the Mystic Zones”

“But anyone who obtains it will be granted its gift—— to fully recover their magic reservoir instantly, as well as permanently gaining 10% more magic power”

“That—-”

“Yes, this is a treasure from the Bramble Bird Kingdom” Lord Bloodcloak spoke emotionally, “they really have spared no expense for this war”

Kitty spoke: “According to what I know, the Bramble Bird King and Queen were both murdered at the start of this war, even if only for revenge, they will definitely do everything in their power”

She grasped a short staff in her hand.

Around the short staff, space itself was constantly being ripped apart, broken, twisted and warped.

“The Mage wand: End of the World, [Void’s End Life Taker]” Kitty sighed: “I’ve always thought this only existed in legends, who would’ve thought it was actually in the custody of the Saint Bramble Tree during all these years, no wonder no one could find it”

“Even a Legendary-grade wand was so easily given out… seems like the Bramble Birds really are furious” Lord Bloodcloak said, deep in thought.

Barry said nothing.

He was shocked, staring at the thing floating in front of himself.

A pair of leather boxing gloves that gave off a dark glow.

Barry looked at this pair of gloves, then back at his own cracked steel gloves, and changed them out without hesitation.

As soon as he wore the gloves, his entire presence changed.

As if tiny sparks of cinders were drifting about the black leader gloves.

Barry lightly clenched his fist.

Oom!

Intense flames burned on his fist!

“One of the three Fire Divine Armament, [Cinders of Demon Dragon Nidhogg], this is a pair of gloves I’ve always dreamt of having…” Barry muttered.

He suddenly looked up.

A dark-colored armor fell from the sky, splitting into its components and quickly attached itself to him.

After wearing full-body armor, clenching his fist tight, Barry silently felt the immense power coursing through him.

「 I can’t imagine who would be able to stop me now 」

His coarse voice came from behind the visor.

At this point, everyone looked up.

The rain still hadn’t ceased, as countless precious armors, weapons and treasures fell from the sky, quickly arriving at their appropriate user’s hand.

All over the battlefield, just like Barry, Kitty and Lord Bloodcloak, everyone had received the most unimaginable treasures best suited for them.

“This is incredible!”

“This must be the Bramble Bird royal family, no one else would receive this much help from the Saint Bramble Tree!”

“Thank you, Bramble Birds!”

Everyone yelled out.

Across the wide frontline, every Combatant received a huge boost in strength.

A female Combatant enveloped in a holy white glow flew above everyone else.

She joyfully declared: “My gratitude to the Bramble Bird Kingdom for your unconditional aid, I’ve fully recovered my magic reservoir just in time!”

After that, she began to sing.

Her voice was clear and melodious, clearing echoing across several dozen World Layers.

With her song, a 7-colored veil of light appeared in the void of space.

Under that veil, tiny bubbles began to surface, as if the worlds were all submerged underwater.

Those who were wounded were quickly covered in light.

Their wounds began to close, residual miasma or curses were also swiftly washed away.

In just a few short moments, even the most heavily wounded person was able to move again.

Of course, they haven’t fully healed, but the shadow of death has at least left them.

Their lives were assured!

More precious treasures came out from the Saint Bramble Tree.

These treasures swiftly selected an appropriate master.

More occasional cheers came from the Allied Army.

Everyone quickly focused their gazes at the True Demons.

Now that everyone’s strength had been greatly increased and their wounds mended to a certain degree——

It was time to overturn the situation!

“Go!!!” Iron Fist Barry shouted.

“Go!” Kitty shouted.

“Go!” Lord Bloodcloak also drew a hand of cards and quickly arranged a combo.

“Let’s go!!! Kill them all!!!”

Everyone shouted a unified battle cry.

Lord-class Combatants of the 900 million World Layers, top-level Combatants from several different organizations of the Alliance all attacked at once.

They charged with all their might at the crack in space, asking for nothing but glorious victory.

They wanted to win against the [Demon King Order]!

On the other side, the True Demons simply watched this unfold in silence.

They were waiting for ‘that person’.

『 It doesn’t matter, the Lord will soon arrive 』the Demon Lord Breeder softly stated.

『 Indeed, no matter how spirited these guys are right now, they will soon face endless suffering and despair 』another True Demon smirked.

Another True Demon spoke: 『 Let us be patient, soon we will rip these detestable pests to shreds 』

As an existence closest to reaching Demon King, as soon as the Lord of True Demons arrived, he would greatly alter the state of the war.

In the very next split second, all True Demons noticed.

The gigantic space crack behind them had begun to warp and bend immensely.

As if something was struggling behind the crack, attempting to forcibly warp themselves here.

An intense presence swept across the entire battlefield.

Including Barry, the Combatants all stopped their advance.

They could sense the nearly unbeatable power emanating from the crack.

He’s here!

The Lord of True Demons is here!

Everyone’s expressions changed.

The True Demons laughed triumphantly.

But then, the disturbance behind the crack slowly subsided.

The terrifying presence only showed itself for a brief moment before once again going away.

The True Demons stopped their laugh.

Did something unexpected happen?

No, who could cause trouble for such a powerful existence like the Lord?

No one in the entire 900 million World Layers could achieve such a thing!

While everyone was confused and unsure, a deep sigh came from the crack.

『 The operation failed 』

『 The war… has lost meaning 』

『 Return 』

Following this voice, the crack in space expanded.

The crack grew until it was several hundred kilometers in size and swallowed the True Demon generals.

In just a split second, the expanding space crack shrank and turned into a thin line within the space vortex.

The line slowly faded.

——-and disappeared.

The True Demons had retreated.
