Allen had unlocked the seal on the Fish S summon, and successfully summoned it.
(I should be thankful to the divine realm's staff and Peromus for this. I guess Makris becoming a summon is something similar to what happened with Merus. It's like I got him with the Sacred Beast Stone, so I guess the remaining summons will come like that.)
He felt like the divine realm was really trying to help him there.
Just like how Freya helped during the fight with the Evil Cult.
But this time it was Aqua, and other angels working behind the scenes.
That was how badly they wanted to stop the Evil God's resurrection.
Allen felt their determination, seeing the constant messages and logs arriving.
As Allen thought of that, the Fish S summon moved above him.
It did not look like a 30 meter long dolphin like Makris did before.
Now it was a 100 meter long white whale.
Allen had memories from his past life, and it reminded him of a blue whale.
It seemed like whales were considered fishes here.
There was already the case of frogs being considered insects, so it was not really surprising.
'I'm hereeee!!'
The summon's voice was identical to that of Makris too.
Together with the logs, it was clear that Makris' contract with Aqua had been changed for this.
Merus had become a summon after being killed by Kyubel in the divine realm.
It was not much of a stretch to think Makris had also become a summon like that.
Allen felt like now he had an idea of how to unseal the remaining summons too.
'That's a new summon, I see. Do you really believe that betters your chances?'
Kyubel did not seem to think of that as a threat.
A new summon would do little in a situation like this.
Only Merus could match the transformed Demon Great Generals.
Kurena and Dogora in Extra Mode, and Merle in her hihiirokane golem could only barely move around.
The rest were desperately trying to stay alive.
When fighting 3 Demon Great Generals like that, Allen prioritized his friends' survival.
But Kyubel wondered if just one more summon would be able to change that.
The enormous Evil God also neared the end of his transformation.
Kyubel's relaxed voice showed how confident he was that he won.
"Of course I do. My summon make sure you and that bullfrog behind you pay for what you've done."
'Wha-?! B-bullfrog?! What an insult!! At least try to act a bit more like a hero!!'
Kyubel did not seem to appreciate the way he addressed the Evil God.
He stamped his feet in indignation.
But that also showed how confident he was, being able to give such an exaggerated reaction.
(Enough screwing around! Is what I'd like to say, but I need to analyze Makris first.)
Allen checked the Fish S summon's stats, Special Skills, and Awakened Skills.
[Species] Fish
[Rank] S
[Name] Makris
[Strength] 40000
[Mana] 50000
[Attack] 40000
[Endurance] 40000
[Agility] 40000
[Intelligence] 50000
[Luck] 40000
[Blessings] Mana +5000, Intelligence +5000, Super Mana Recovery (1% per second)
[Special Skills] Royal Guard, Shooting Star, White Out, Freeze Cannon, Flight
[Awakened Skill] Royal Aura, Sacred Bead Creation, (sealed)
It had overwhelming stats and Blessings, their specific numbers listed together with his Special Skills and Awakened Skills.
(All of his stats are incredibly high. And he has 5 Special Skills and 3 Awakened Skills. I guess that's what S Rank summons are like. Also Flight? I guess Makris can float in air too.)
Allen started forming a strategy, using the names of Skills as his basis.
If he made a mistake now, his party could end up being wiped out.
It was a bold decision, but it was necessary to use Makris properly.
"Those who came from the north don't have Royal Guard on them, cast it."
Helmios' group did not have [Royal Guard] cast on them.
'Royal Guaaaaaaaaaaard.'
A shining bubble surrounded Merle and the members of Helmios' party.
(The effect is the same as when he was the Sacred Fish. Though the radius feels bigger?)
Allen's Army and the Hero's Army were still fighting in the north, retreating slowly.
They were moving slowly getting closer to Patlanta, so now they were 20 kilometers away from the city. The Spirit King's Blessing had a radius of around 100 kilometers.
The people in the army looked shocked, so Allen spoke to them through a Bird F summon.
The effect was still the same, but the radius seemed to be way bigger.
'That bubble came from my summon. Keep fighting like before.'
Allen used the Bird F's Awakened Skill [Messenger] to tell them that.
He also told his friends to not let their guard down just because they received a buff.
Allen had not forgotten about his fight, so he continued using the Skills as best as he could.
(This is the next one. Fish summons usually have supportive roles.)
Usually Fish summons used mainly buffs and debuffs.
'White Ouuuuut.'
Allen ordered Makris to use [White Out] next.
As a summon, Makris obeyed orders instantly.
Merus would often look displeased, but even he always obeyed orders no matter what.
Maybe that was part of the pact binding them as summons.
Using [White Out] made something white like snow appear in a radius of 100 kilometers like a blizzard, and then it vanished.
(So White Out just washes out everything like a heavy blizzard. It didn't change anyone's stats. I guess it's more of a visual debuff to break the enemy's aim. That's something that could help the army out.)
Allen checked the stats of his friends, but there was not a single change.
He had more than 10000 Intelligence, and he used the Bird E's Awakened Skill [Clairvoyance] to survey the Demon King's Army.
Their attacks on the golems looked weaker, and they were falling more easily.
That the attacks had softened made things easier for the armies, which were on the defensive.
Thanks to Royal Guard and White Out, they went from having to slowly retreat to holding their position. They were barely moving back, being able to fend off the enemy.
But the Demon Great Generals barely suffered a change.
(I guess that's to be expected from Fish summons. Hm, maybe I can bring back the vanguard?)
Fish summons were usually good at buffing and debuffing.
Makris had once been a Sacred Beast, but even he fit that theme.
As he continued testing the Fish S summon's Skills, the enemy made a move too.
'Hmph, I'm tired of this. Ramonhamon, let's kill them one after another.'
''Sure, let's do so.''
"Ughah?!"
Bildiga and Ramonhamon grouped together to defeat Kurena.
Taking one of Ramonhamon's physical attacks, she and the Arbiter God were flung away.
While she tried to get up, the two enemies were already closing in to deal another blow.
(I'd really like to test some more things, but that can wait. Ramonhamon is the biggest threat.)
The fight would just keep being drawn out as long as there was an enemy healer.
Allen made Ramonhamon his target.
"Use Freeze Cannon on Ramonhamon!"
The name made clear that it was an offensive ability.
Makris' Ice Javelin was gone, Freeze Cannon taking its place.
'Freeze Cannon!!'
Makris immediately answered by activating [Freeze Cannon].
''Ghah?! Urghhh!!''
Makris opened his mouth, an enormous cone of ice shooting from it.
Ramonhamon was stopped, forced to block the attack and was pushed back.
Crack crack
The transformed 8 arms crushed the ice.
"Don't stop attacking!"
'Understood! Freeze Cannooooooon!!'
'It's the same attack. It won't matter as long as we dodge!!'
'Yes, sister!! We'll dodge everything!!'
Makris aimed at Ramonhamon again.
But Ramonhamon excelled at both magic and physical attacks, so they instantly created powerful orbs of magic that exploded, deviating the trajectory of the projectiles.
Then they dodged without missing a beat.
Meanwhile Kurena had her hands full with Bildiga.
Magic would not always hit after being cast in this world.
If it was evaded, it would not cause any damage, but conversely it could cause heaps of damage if it hit a vital spot.
Elements could also affect the results, so the damage from a spell could vary.
(Merus hurry and change their element to something weak to ice.)
'I've been doing that for a while.'
Allen had been trying to get rid of Ramonhamon the healer, from the start.
But as Ramonhamon could use both magic and physical attacks, their magic defense was high.
Merus was trying to change their element.
(Now I just have to find out what Royal Aura and Shooting Star do. Maybe I should start with Royal Aura. I feel like it'll be a buff.)
Awakened Skills went on cooldown after use, so Allen wanted to start with the other Skills. But his friends were still struggling. He decided to try using the Awakened Skill Royal Aura.
He felt like that was the best first choice.
'Royal Auraaaaaaaa.'
"Huh?"
Allen was shocked by how bright it was, and how big of a change it was.
An enormous golden bubble seemed to surround everything as Makris shouted.
It was at least bigger than a 100 or 200 kilometers.
And it brought an unbelievable increase to their stats.
It even affected the knights in the north, and the armies fighting a bit further away.
[Effects of Makris' Royal Aura]:
-Health and Mana +10%
-Attack and Intelligence +5000
-All Attack Damage +30%
-Cooldowns reduced by 50%
Shortly after it was cast, the situation in the north began to change.
There had been spells and arrows flying through the water, but their number increased rapidly.
The monsters that had been on the offensive before began being pushed back.
It changed so drastically one had to wonder if that really was a defensive battle.
The same applied to Allen's group.
After the Awakened Skill was cast, they began fighting back.
"Use Shooting Star too, please."
'Shooting Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!'
As Makris used the Skill, a star with six points appeared on Ramonhamon's chest.
It was like that marked the target.
(I guess that makes his targeting better.)
"Allen, the boost in stats managed to make the element change to work."
Thanks to the boost in Intelligence, Merus succeeded in changing Ramonhamon's element.
"Try using Freeze Cannon one more time."
Hoping that it was a straightforward effect, Allen told Makris to use [Freeze Cannon] again, which had gotten dodged before.
'Freeze Cannooooooooon!!'
Together with the shout, a large cone of ice was shot from Makris' mouth.
'I don't like this. Dodge Ramonhamon!!'
Kyubel noticed the buffs, and knew that was not a hit Ramonhamon should take.
They tried to blast it off with magic and dodge skillfully again.
They jumped off with their 8 legs at the last possible second to move out of the attack's path.
But the ice cone turned at a sharp angle, chasing after Ramonhamon.
After traveling for around 100 meters, it finally reached the star with six points on Ramonhamon's chest.
'W-we're the strongest Demon General, we can't fall to this!!'
'That's right. We're the ultimate Demon General. Sinorom told us our strength rivals that of the Six Fallen Angels! Grahhhhh! This can't be-?!'
Ramonhamon decided they would crush the projectile instead, holding onto it with their 8 muscular arms.
As their hands touched the ice, their arms slowly started to freeze.
"I see. So that Skill slowly whittles down their Strength. That's one down."
They held onto the projectile, their body slowly turning to ice, and then the cone which still had some momentum left crashed into them.
Cracks ran through all of Ramonhamon's body, mercilessly shattering into the water.
'Th-that can't be! Ramonhamon was defeated with just one spell!!'
Kyubel was shocked, he had just witnessed something he considered impossible.
'You've defeated 1 Demon Great General. You've reached Level 112. Strength +625. Mana +1000. Attack +350. Endurance +35. Agility +650. Intelligence +1000. Luck +650.'
(Hm? The seals are still there. At least there's still 3 more Demon Great Generals.)
Allen went up 5 Levels, gaining an impressive amount of stats, but there was no mention of the seals.
Looking for more experience, he turned to face the remaining enemies.
'Rahhhhhhh!!'
Makris also roared at the remaining Demon Great Generals.
They were nervous now, knowing the threat posed by Makris after watching Ramonhamon be defeated.
'That's some ridiculous power. Oh, hey, all power has been released!'
As Makris readied yet another attack, the Evil God's transformation had reached its conclusion.
