Charles and his party managed to calm Christina, who was about to cut their throats.
“They’re digging into my merciful heart…They’re clever guys. It can’t be helped. Come along. Prove your innocence to others.”
“Ah, I see.”
Charles and his party breathed a sigh of relief and followed Christina.
“Ho, by any chance…Didn’t you come to save us?”
Henri asked Cristina cautiously.
“What are you talking about? We came to claim the throne of the great devil. I didn’t even know you were here.”
“That’s right…”
Henri was embarrassed, but he was still grateful that he had met Cristina.
However, things got a little twisted.
It was because Christina seemed to have misunderstood a little.
She was, frankly, misleading.
Inside the palace, countless corpses of demons were strewn about.
Past the corpses, they entered the Great Devil’s Audience Hall with a huge door.
As Christina and Charles and her party enter, the eyes of many women inside are drawn.
Charles and his party, walking among them almost naked, felt as if they wanted to hide at least in a rat hole.
Ignis was sitting on the throne in the center of the hall.
She glanced at Charles and the others Christina had brought and asked with a tilt of her head.
“Christina, what are these people behind?”
Christina, who had brought Charles and the others, answered Ignis with a proud face.
“Ignis. Look! I have caught the traitors!”
“Bae, you are not a traitor!”
Charles and his party were shocked by Christina’s remarks and denied it with one mouthful.
“Bae… Believer…?”
Ignis looked carefully at Charles and his company once more.
“You guys…”
It was a familiar face that seemed like I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn’t remember it well.
“This, Ignis-sama…”
Seeing her like that, Charles and the others cried.
“Hee! Princess Cristina. What are those hideous demons?”
Cristina, with her voice, couldn’t help but draw attention.
Eileen, who inadvertently saw Albert and the others wearing bikini armor, asked in amazement.
Seeing Eileen like that, Albert was dazzled. And he involuntarily turned her head away.
She seemed to be no different from before… No, more beautiful than before.
She looked at her face again and she was glad she looked… But her heart didn’t jump.
Albert didn’t want to show Eileen his ugly side. Far from being saddened by her not knowing him, he felt fortunate for her.
However, Christina mercilessly broke Albert’s heart.
“Don’t you know Eileen? These are the Charles guys.”
“Yes? That devil… No, he… Kid, Albert… Uncle Charles? Why is his clothes… And his face…”
Eileen seemed to be at a loss for her words, and she couldn’t bear to speak.
Putting Albert’s handsome face aside, it was because in the past, his gun-like eyes went somewhere and he had a blurry look.
Receiving Aileen’s sympathetic gaze, Albert lowered his head even more.
It was the same with Flora.
Seeing Henri’s appearance, she covered her mouth and gave her a pitiful look.
“These guys tried to attack us along with the vicious pig devil. But as soon as they saw me, they must have been frightened and begged for forgiveness. Huh… But I brought them here because they couldn’t bear to sever them because they were related to the past. I decided to follow.”
“S-A raid. Oh, no! It’s a misunderstanding.”
“These guys! Do you think this princess is an idiot?! You guys are wearing clothes similar to the pig devil and the guys he brought. If you’re not from the same gang, what’s the reason for wearing such bizarre clothes?”
At Christina’s screams, the three of them flinched.
“That, that’s…”
It was right that he followed Madeleine.
I had no choice but to wear similar armor.
“Um… I wonder if I’ve been brainwashed?”
Suni, who was watching the situation, suggested another possibility.
A few years ago, at the direction of Unho, she briefly checked their condition.
She knew that she was trapped somewhere, but after that, without any instructions from Unho, she also cut off her interest.
“That’s also a possibility. Looking at that grotesque outfit.”
Ayla looked at Charles and his party with cold eyes and agreed with Suni’s opinion.
“Oh, no. We are normal.”
“Looking at them wearing magic restraints, it seems that what they say is true.”
Verna said, stroking her chin.
“No, that’s right. That’s right.”
Charles and the others were pleased with Verna’s words, which seemed to understand their situation.
“You guys left to retrieve the Sealing Orb. But for some reason, it appeared here. Where is the Sealing Orb?”
At Ignis’s question, the faces of the three were greatly shaken.
-Dump.
The three knelt down and bowed their heads like criminals.
“Sorry! Mission failed. The seal has been broken and the Prime Evil has been released.”
“Failure… Where is the Great Devil that was released?”
“That, that’s…Ah, maybe around here…”
“What?! Why didn’t you tell me such an important story!!”
At Cristina’s fury, Charles’ party lowered their heads even more.
“I’m sorry.”
“Is it true that you are here? If so, shouldn’t you have come earlier?”
Verna tilted her head and said.
“Are these guys lying again?!”
Cristina once again yelled at Charles and the others.
“Oh, no. Four, actually, we don’t know too much. He… Locked us up and showed his face from time to time.”
“But why didn’t you guys immediately report when the mission failed?”
Ignis asked them with a serious face.
“That, that… I, I was wondering if Master knew that we were imprisoned, it wouldn’t be a nuisance…”
“There is a corner that is quite unclear. Charles, even if you are the master’s apprentice, there is nothing we can do. We are on an important mission right now. “
“Yes, I understand.”
Charles and his party were satisfied with the fact that they could get out of here.
The appearance of Charles and his party, kneeling in bikini armor, looked quite desolate.
“Albert…Uncle Charles…Somehow…”
“Sir Henry…”
Eileen and Flora were looking at them with sad expressions.
Albert and Henry were ashamed to show their current selves to Eileen and Flora.
I couldn’t even dare to speak to them while still in this hideous appearance.
He avoided their gaze.
“The important thing now is not their business. The lord has contacted me. Grom’gal has left the battlefield. Prepare yourself. He will be here soon. Liliana, are you ready?”
“It’s over. It’s perfect. It’s no problem if he comes right now.”
And after a while…
-Quaang!!
After destroying the ceiling of the palace, the great demon, Gromgal, appeared. His flat face was contorted with anger.
“You’re here.”
Seeing Gromgal’s figure, Ignis rose leisurely from his throne.
“How dare these things touch my sacred throne? Following him, even these worm-like bastards ignore me!!
“That remains to be seen.”
At the same time as Liliana’s words, darkness engulfed Gromgal.
Gromgal was in a dark space in the blink of an eye. Each pupil attached to his face scans rapidly in all directions.
“This isn’t a seal…”
I saw the figures of five women in front of me.
“A trap…A barrier? …The five of you are going to deal with me?! Huh!”
Gromgal smiled dejectedly as if it were absurd. And he frowned lightly as if he felt something.
“…Has the authority been sealed?’”
“You’re quick-witted.”
“Huh… These bitches have swollen livers! Come! Even if they don’t have the power, you bitches! These guys and those guys, how dare you ignore me?!”
They hadn’t looked down on them, but Grom’Gal seemed to think he did, just because he dared to challenge him.
Led by Ignis, Bright and Judith. Liliana and Verna formed their forms and started the battle against Gromgal.

Excluding Kazel, only the transcendent powers disappeared along with Gromgal.
Liliana imprisoned Grom Gall within her barrier.
She installed a barrier here that she had prepared over a long period of time, and it seemed to work properly.
According to Christina, it was a powerful spatial barrier similar to the magic in her mansion.
The rest of the detached team members who did not enter the barrier remained in the Great Devil’s Hall.
The remaining detached members must protect this place.
I feel sorry for Ignis and the others who must be fighting Gromgal, but I was free.
The attack of the demons was also fierce in the beginning of entering the palace, but now there is a lull.
It seems that it is because of the appearance of the great demon, Gromgal.
Cristina caught a glimpse of her and rolled her eyes.
She and she slipped and moved to the throne.
Stella and Rebecca, Christina’s exclusive ladies-in-waiting, quickly stood in their way.
They had stern faces.
“Kuh, keuhum… The throne is empty. Since ancient times, the throne is a princess, isn’t it my duty to sit there?”
“”It’s not possible.””
“No! Princess! Master said it was dangerous.”
Aileen also stepped in and stopped Christina.
“Heh… Sneaky guys…”
Faced with her fierce resistance, Christina was forced to abdicate her throne with a pout of her lips.
