We've made it!

Looks like I got you right into the middle of the Sky Fort!

I'm pretty amazing, aren't I?

Oww... Where are we, exactly?

I feel dizzy...

We were just fighting off demons in the Land of the Dead, weren't we?

Ah! Karl!

And your little friend Seria!

What do you mean, "little friend!?"

If it isn't Hans!

But if you're here, that means that...

We're inside the Sky Fort!

...So it seems.

It's completely your fault that we're up here, isn't it!?

Can't you see everyone still fighting below?

You should take a little more time to grasp the situation before you act, goddess!

Wh-What are you talking about? I didn't do anything wrong...

You must be pretty full of yourself to say such a thing!

Can we just leave it be? We have many more important problems, have we not?

Also, it'll now be easier for us to support Hans.

And besides, it's not like the two of us being gone will make any difference to those still fighting below.

You're probably right, but...

At any rate, you're just as amazing a goddess as ever.

You helped make things just a little bit easier despite the perilous situation we find ourselves in.

If anyone could put their mind to it and get it done, I knew it had to be you.

You've got it all wrong, Karl! You're too trusting!

Haha...

Ah...

It seems even you humans can sense my presence.

Zebra!!

It's Zebra, the mad god... Be wary, he's as dangerous as he looks...

You're gonna pay for what you did in Edila!

You'd better be ready!

I've no use for you pitiful worms.

The one I'm after is Tilith, the disciple of Lucius.

Kyaahh!!

You seem worn out. I guess that's to be expected having used so much power in bringing them here.

You've put yourself through quite a lot for these pitiful worms.

If it's a battle with the gods you want then I'm sure Lucius would stop you...

...but if you're planning on attacking us now, I won't go easy on you!

What is this power... Ugh...I can't move...

Gyah... How could you still have such power after all that... Could it be...

Huff... huff...

I may be a little weak now... but there's no way I'm losing to you...

Nngh... She put up more of a fight than I was expecting...

Though it matters not now. I've successfully removed that which was in my way.

There are no gods left to defend you.

You all will make good practice for my subordinates.

Do you think we're just going to let you escape?

I care not of your intentions.

You pitiful worms are incapable of even taking a single step in my presence.

I'm using this Sky Fort for the sole purpose of freeing Lord Cardes from his bonds.

If you are truly determined to face me, then you shall find my waiting deep within.

I will instill in you all the fear of the gods!

Blast! He got away!

N-Nngh...

I-I'm sorry... Hans...

Stop talking! You need to save your strength!

Karl, you know what we have to do!

Yes! Hans!

You go after Zebra. Seria and I will take care of things here!

I've no clue how he plans on using this fort...

...but if manages to release Cardes, we're in big trouble!

Don't just stand there, get a move on already!

You think monsters like these pose a challenge to us?

How dare you doubt the leader of the Demon Slayers!

If you've time for such needless worrying, then stop procrastinating and head after him!

Furthermore, of all people, you know this goddess still has some fight left in her, right?

That's right, Seria.

These monsters pose no threat to us.

And have no fear concerning the goddess, she is now under our protection.

So go now, and defeat that vile Zebra!

We're counting on you, Hans!

Show us what kind of Summoner you really are!

Seria!!

Right!
