“Wait. Satan has already been summoned?”
From the beginning, I had never expected us to get through this without facing Satan.
“Correct.”
“…Where the hell?”
But Satan had already been summoned?
Already standing around somewhere without so much as a warning?!
My head spun when I heard Commandment’s words.
Maybe I was literally dizzy.
Even if it had gotten somewhat better than before, parts of my body were still disappearing every now and then.
“At the entrance before the main building. Most likely, it was done to prevent the Hero from joining us.”
“…Why does that sound like their roles got switched?”
It was true that the Hero was the greatest threat from a demon’s perspective.
But that didn’t mean you threw your superior in as an obstacle just to keep her from joining the main fight.
Was that seriously how this worked?
“Pride and Satan are not arranged in a rigid vertical hierarchy. Satan may hold the advantage in total power, but their alliance ultimately came about through trade and agreement. Pride is entirely capable of making such a judgment.”
“No, but still…….”
And Satan just accepts that?
So much for the dignity of the real_final_last_ultimate boss.
“…Those bastards know how to swallow their pride in some strangely specific situations.”
“Perhaps not under ordinary circumstances. But the value of what is at stake in this battle cannot be weighed against pride alone.”
True.
