Everyone defending the barrier must be feeling this enormous tension.

He remembered the times in Tyburn and Yeranhes. Back then, many soldiers were trembling in fear.

The knights constantly encouraged them, and the commander looked around and gave instructions to the knights.

And.

Now.

[────They\'re coming.]

Malia\'s low voice.

The first footsteps were heavier than anything else, and as if it were a signal, all the monsters started moving towards the barrier.

The vibrations of the ground became an earthquake without any metaphor, making the feet of everyone standing on it tremble.

Dust clouds weaving, chasing after the monsters, enveloping them, and blending together as they advanced towards the humans.

Murderous intent from all directions, from everything.

A relentless wave of attacks covering the entire front of the Empire.

A tsunami.

"Ah, ah...!"

The faces of the soldiers on the barrier turned pale.

They were veterans who had repelled the outer monsters many times, but they sensed that this monster attack was different from usual.

The outer monsters were confident of victory in this attack.

An attack from all directions where humans couldn\'t concentrate on any one place. The barrier would definitely be breached. The outer monsters had that conviction, and that conviction became morale, and morale became an aura.

The aura finally bared its teeth as a clear murderous intent directed towards humans.

This was the barrier closest to Manggot. Naturally, breaking through here would be the most beneficial for Manggot, so their attack was also somewhat concentrated here.

Even if the monster forces were the same, Manggot\'s forces were not.

Therefore.

"...Now."

Frondier chose this place.

Monsters covered in dust clouds, running madly towards the barrier.

\'Behind\' them.

Manggot\'s forces, watching the monsters trying to break the barrier, waiting to join the attack as soon as a gap appeared.

\'In front\' of them.

A single spear filled that void,

Kwaaang!!!

Falling like a meteor, it shook the area violently.

For a moment, the gazes of the monsters and Manggot gathered towards the fallen spear. Some of the running monsters looked back, and the eyes of the waiting Manggot widened.

It was a moment so short that it could hardly be called silence, but

There was definitely a moment when no one could make a sound.

"Yo."

With the spear and shield of a god.

Humanity\'s worst villain stood there, his red aura swirling around him.

"The weather is niceee!!!"

His shout, filled with aura and tinglingly resonant, pierced the air. A few more of the monsters that were still running towards the barrier stopped their charge.

"...That,"

One of the Manggot members, seeing this, shouted.

He was one of the Shepherds of the Round Table in charge of this attack.

"Kill him!! It\'s Renzo!!!"

That order was accurate, wise, and the quickest order he could give in the current situation, but.

The fact that it was the \'current situation\' was already too late.

Thump!

Renzo slammed his shield down in front of him.

Lynotoros

Horizon Shield

The moment the shield revealed itself, it inscribed laws unrelated to its size, with Renzo at the center.

Manggot\'s arrows and magic poured towards Renzo at once, but

Tatatatata!!

All attacks aimed at Renzo couldn\'t get past Lynotoros. All attacks coming from the \'front\' were blocked by Lynotoros. The size of the shield didn\'t matter at this moment.

Renzo completely ignored the noisy barrage aimed at him and turned his back, looking at the monsters still charging towards the barrier.

Enkephalos

Spear of Infinite Attempts

The muscles in his arm holding the spear bulged, and the divine power of Ares and his aura were infused into the spearhead, swelling it up.

"You said not to break the barrier."

Frondier\'s one request.

The difficulty of that one request was so great that Renzo had spent days and nights agonizing over it after hearing it.

How could he possibly throw a spear at the monsters without breaking the barrier? It was obvious that even Osprey, called the Sage, wouldn\'t be able to find the answer.

However, there was a flash of inspiration in Renzo\'s mind. It was a supreme idea that no one would dare to think of.

As expected, I\'m a genius.

"I just have to stick it in the ground!!!"

Swish!

Kwaaang──!!

Renzo\'s spear shot forward, slaughtering all the monsters that were even slightly grazed by the trajectory around the spearhead, let alone those directly hit, and created a huge crater in the ground ahead.

Of course, no monster survived within that radius.

He aimed at the monsters but threw it at the ground, deliberately \'missing\'.

Because he didn\'t hit them.

Chuck-

The Spear of Infinite Attempts returned to him.

"Ahahahaha!! How\'s that, Frondier! You can\'t call me a blockhead anymore!!"

Renzo shouted Frondier\'s name even though he wouldn\'t be able to hear the answer.

And from afar, Frondier, who clearly heard that voice,

"...Well done, blockhead."

He watched with a dumbfounded expression.

Now that all eyes were on Renzo.

Frondier spoke into the phone.

"Mother, please."

[...It\'ll be a heavy burden.]

"Everyone is feeling the burden."

At Frondier’s answer, Malia sighed.

[You can\'t drag it out too long.]

Right after those words.

Frondier\'s vision changed.

To all of the dozens of visions that Malia shared.

Just like when he saw Constel from Malia\'s point of view at Elysia\'s Tower.

This idea was theoretically possible, but reversing the vision of Malia, who was sharing dozens of viewpoints, was very risky.

Since this ability wasn\'t Frondier\'s, it was like forcing a puzzle piece that didn\'t fit.

"...My eyes sting a bit."

Weaving, Obsidian

Rank - Divine

Khryselakatos, Lokhiera

Frondier saw the entirety of the shared vision and confirmed that each one was witnessing the monsters rushing from the barrier with their own eyes. Then.

──It will surely hit the aimed enemy,

──It will become rain.

He shot dark clouds towards the clear sky.

A forecast delivered to the entire Empire.

"Even if we can\'t attack first, we can defend first."

This was humanity\'s first defense.
