Help's Coming! 'Mystery God Punishment'
After such a long fight, the five people finally exhausted all of their energy. With fatigue and all the wounds all over his body, they could only resign in the midst of the siege of the thousands of evil spirit monsters.
“Gyahahaha... With this I will end your lives!” The Ogre began to raise his weapon before the five of them who had run out of power.
Is this the end?
It turns out my life is not too long.
With this all gonna end?
At least, I want Miss Iris to be safe.
I never thought I'd have to die in a place like this.
Showing his evil smile, the Ogre began to swing his weapon vigorously.
“Death..!!!”
“I won't let it! Shield Prison.!”
In their despair, a holy shield appeared before him and blocked the attack from the Ogre.
Trangs....
“It..” Iris was surprised.
“God Punishment!”
Blarrs....
Then a sword so big emerged from the sky and hit the monsters there. The destroyed power of the attack is very large, but only affects the monsters. Iris and the four who were in Shield Prison protection had absolutely no influence from the attack.
“Ah, again this attack.” Narta complained that the attack had almost taken her life.
It was an attack carried out by the reinforcements who had just come up with teleportation magic.
ATTACK....!!!
The hundred thousand newly arrived troops immediately moved to finish off the evil spirit monsters. They spread all over the place where the camp was established, helping the heavily injured troops and fighting the monsters. With magic attacks and combined skills in unison, they managed to create a huge blow to the army of evil spirit monsters. With this the humans managed to repel the monsters for a while.
“Iris... Are you okay?” Luna shouted as she approached Iris who was exhausted by the battle.
“Luna..” There Iris immediately hugged Luna who approached her. “I'm fine, thank you for coming.”
“Sorry because we are late, therefore you guys suffered so far.” Luna said that while crying in Iris's arms.
“Thank God you're okay!” One of the leaders of the reinforcements opened a conversation with Iris. That person was none other than Kouta, who had previously promised to protect Luna in this war.
“I didn't think you'd actually come to this place.” Iris was not happy with Kouta's arrival.
“You're hurt, right? No need to be that cold to me, I was just asked to help keep Luna in this war.”
“By whom?”
“Your commander, so you don't have to worry about his security.”
The two stared at each other with such a cold gaze. Luna who felt bad about the atmosphere dared herself to ask.
“Anu... Iris, can't your relationship not be so good?”
Kouta only grinned when he heard Luna's question that came at an inappropriate time. “Lu-luna, forget what you saw just now! Then about our relationship, as you think, we're both not so familiar.”
“Ckk...huh,"–Iris clicked her tongue and sighed—"Luna take me to where the medical team is!” Iris indirectly invites Luna to stay away from Kouta.
“Good.” Without a second thought Luna immediately drove Iris to the medical team.
There Kouta did not try to follow them, because as one of the leaders he had to condition his troops.
Tek, tek, tek....
A footstep was heard approaching towards Kouta.
“Kouta, what do you think about the decline of those evil spirit monsters that is so easy?” Then the guy, ‘Kohei’ asked him.
“So deputy commander Kohei also thought that there was a discrepancy in that regard?” Kouta asked back.
“Entahlah... indeed who knows it.” Kohei deliberately issued an unsatisfactory answer for Kouta to find out more. Just by creating curiosity in Kouta's mind, he immediately left to watch the surrounding conditions.
“Young master, what did he say?” one of the defense hall generals approached Kouta and asked what Kouta was talking about with Kohei in such a short time.
“Oh, Robin yes... nothing special, he just asked my opinion about the decline of the army of evil spirit monsters that so fast.”
“I've guessed he'll ask that.” Robin had guessed that too.
But Kouta did not understand what Robin was talking about at the time. “What do you mean?” he tried to ask that.
“Deputy commander of the attacking hall is a very sharp person. Even he could predict the situation change very accurately, as if he could see the future. If she asks someone a question, it means she expects that the person can find the answer to her question.”
Deputy commander Kohei, from what I heard he was the strongest man in the military section of the invading hall. But I never thought he would have such an ability. Ah, that makes me even more curious about his combat power!
“So yes.., then I will try to find the answer to that question.”
The question Kohei asked made Kouta become even more interested in him. They are trying to find the answer to that question.
“Robin, what do you think? What was the most notable awkwardness of the actions of those monsters?”
“If judging from their movements, retreating for a while may still look reasonable. But the strange thing was their fear of the combined magic of the protection hall.”
“Yes, there seems to be an unnatural fear that I felt from them when God Punishment activated.”
“God Punishment, do you know the origin of the magic?”
“I don't know about it, but from what I've heard of magic it borrows power directly from Edle Seele.”
“Edle Seele you said.., is that possible?”
“So please, I don't know that much either.”

That night, Orin approached Kouta who was pensive on the edge of the training field.
“Yo.., what are you thinking about at midnight like Kouta?”
“You, the one who fought us with Ola back then. If it's not wrong Orin huh?”
“Yes, exactly. Then, what do you think in the middle of the night like this?” Orin sat down beside Kouta while carrying a cup of hot coffee.
“Orin, don't you feel weird about the retreat from the army of those evil spirit monsters?”
“Fuuu...”—Orin blow his still hot coffee—“I didn't pay much attention to them that time. Besides, we can only resign after a long fight against them.”
“So yes?”
“But there is a strange word ever uttered by them.”
“A strange words, what is it?” This time Kouta felt he would really get a hint at the question from Kohei.
“They say, we humans have blocked their way to meet their creators. I was able to make it, but I still did not find the answer.”
“Creator?”—Kouta started successfully connecting some of the puzzles he had in mind–“God Punishment, don't-don't..?”
Tek, tek, tek....
The sound of footsteps was heard, suddenly making the two of them immediately turn to the source of the sound.
“Narta..you surprised us!” Orin complains about Narta's suspicious arrival.
“What can I do right? My body was also covered in wounds from the previous fight! Besides of...Kouta, are you suspecting Edle Seele who is a God trusted by the kingdom of Meeden?” Narta's question went straight to the heart of the conversation.
“You, how can know it?”
“I have a passive skill that allows me to see the future, so I also had the opportunity to change it.”
“Future says you?”
“From what I see, in the next few moments you will intend to say the answer to the deputy commander of the attacking hall, but there will be a commotion because of your words.”
“Buttery, why?” Kouta was worried that he would make the wrong move after this.
“Because you will say something you should not say in front of the members of the protection hall.”
"Road Protection, so it is. They'll be mad when I say something bad about Edle Seele.”
“As I expected from a chosen hero, your thinking is pretty sharp in this sort of thing. But that may not be the only reason.”
“What do you mean?”
“Orin, you know enough about the witches, right?” The source of the answer was transferred to Orin.
“That's true, but I don't think we can talk about something like that in an open place like this.”
They also turned the surrounding place into a soundproof room.

..."The Meeting Room of the Highlights"
...
“Nearly 20,000 demon hunter troops were killed in the last move of the monsters, it is not a small amount.” One of the officers expressed his opinion.
“In addition, it happened with the elite in the midst of the troops. Doesn't that indicate that the fighting power of the monsters has been beyond reason?”
“Honored higher-ups, if the strength of those monsters is indeed beyond human reason, why can they be repulsed so easily? Isn't that a strange thing?” Kohei asked that in the middle of the meeting of the higher-ups.
“What are you trying to tell us Kohei?” A representative of the protection hall asked in a harsh tone.
Uh, just say the name yes. Moreover, I had no idea that a representative from the protection hall would respond to such an obscure question.
“There is no special intention of elders, only that I feel their movements are so strange upon the arrival of our troops, especially when God Punishment is activated!” Kohei said that firmly before all the higher-ups.
“Don't you think we have a relationship with these monsters? Very presumptuous!” That person was furious when he heard the words from Kohei.
Hoi, oi, no one ever said that, lest you really have done that?
“I don't mean like that elder, but why did you think there?” Kohei's sharp gaze at that moment began to intimidate the higher-ups from the protection hall.
“You guys, stop that! If there is a hard debate in this meeting, it will be a breaking factor for this war forces.” The one speaking at that time was the direct leader of the protection hall who was the strongest individual on the human side.
With a warning from the person, the topic of discussion from the meeting returned to its original course.
But Kohei's suspicion of the protection hall is also growing.
