The World's most Overpowered Side-Character
Chapter 103 - 103: An Unexpected Occurrence. (2)

***A few moments before the attack on the camp***

Sol and Ikaris were standing over the Argomite Queen whom they had caught in the room above theirs, using the same runes her daughter had used in the past after she had been caught trying to spy on them while in the act of pleasing herself.

"The only thing that could possibly cure this kind of behaviour is to completely erase her mind and build her up from scratch." Ikaris frowned staring at the Queen with a brow raised in disappointment.

"What kind of Queen gives in to such degenerate behaviour at the beset of her own daughter, I'm beyond appalled at your disgusting behaviour, Misty this is an offence worthy of the death penalty!" Ikaris scowled. "I don't see the need in fighting for the sake of this kind of a Queen even if your world burns as a result, maybe failing wouldn't be such a bad thing."

"No way, Ikaris, failing means you die too... so no, not even if it means saving trash, I won't," Sol replied. "In this realm, there's nowhere the demon god wouldn't search if it meant she'd find you, and I just know she's the kind that never lets go of anything once she's sunken her fangs into it." Sol looked around at her shaking his head.

"I won't fail, I'll make her beg for mercy before I tear her face off."

"... Demon ...god?" The Queen attempted to raise her head but as soon as her eyes found Sol's she dropped her forehead to the floor again. "Forgive me."

"So what will you do then?" Ikaris asked, raising her hand and erasing every rune and magical enchantment in the room with a single motion of her index finger whilst also casting [purge] and cleaning everything so she didn't need to keep seeing the state of the floor that the woman had sullied in her perverted acts.

"Would you rather kill her and let someone else take power?" She asked, and Sol scoffed at the thought.

"As bad as she and her daughter are; from what I have observed of the nobility in Argom they seem to be the best fit, I honestly don't know what to do with them now, I could erase their desire for pleasure completely, but that'd just make them focus the extra energy somewhere else, probably someplace cruel."

"Then what will you do?" Ikaris asked again.

"We can figure it out later, he stepped to the side and left an empty space just as Sara emerged urgently from his shadow with her hand bloodied. "Sara-" Sol caught her before she fell and held her upright. "What happened?"

"High-level demons appeared out of nowhere, hundreds of them!"

"Hundreds...?" Ikaris mused.

"Okay," Sol cast [heal] on Sara and she fainted from the potency as her broken and bloodied arm healed along with a large gash across her back, probably from her trying to escape and almost dying.

"I'm leaving her here, get yourself cleaned up and wait for me to return, and I don't think I need to say this, but if you do anything to Sara while she's sleeping I'll know, and I'll make you regret being born.

"Should I accompany you?" Ikaris asked, summoning a full set of armour over her body, and then a helmet in her grasp which she held to her stomach and waited for his response.

This was a simple question but it carried a lot of weight; she might have just been a week in, but she was still pregnant, if she was injured in the wrong way by the demonkin she could lose her developing babe, if she felt for a moment that she was at such a risk she was already planning on leaving everything into retreat, the child that would be born from her in her own eyes was the most precious treasure since the first creation, she would treasure herself and her baby with nothing above that.

"You just need to be careful; don't fight them directly." Sol extended his hand to her, and as she took it they both vanished in a flash of light, leaving the Queen staring at Sara whom he had leaned on the wall before disappearing.

Arriving where he sensed the gathering of demons Sol paused for a moment and put his hand before Ikaris, blocking a stray projectile from hitting her while she was distracted searching for Dina.

Seemingly unaware of what just happened Ikaris lowered Sol's hand and stared down to the ground, once again there were no flying demons, just ground-bound enemies of varying kinds, shapes and sizes, right as she was about to take off an explosion went off in the distance and they saw several demonkin go flying from the burst of mana and then several massive spears erupt and grow into the air, and immediately following the spears a barrier arose and shattered, and then another again, and again.

"Hold on," Sol spread his hands wide while his eyes inverted and his hair flashed white and began glowing.

[CLOCKWORK]

Mana erupted from his body, and in an instant everything froze. "This was deliberate, it has always been," He looked around at Ikaris who was unaffected by his technique.

"I noticed as well; every time you are absent we are attacked, even before you met Sitri." Ikaris agreed, taking off toward the others who had also been frozen as Sol spared no mana and made sure that everything was immobilized in place rather than the usual [clockwork] which slowed time.

"It is as she said," Sol descended and flew directly above the high-level demonkin. "She has been watching me." He confirmed and flew by to the other side of the ambush, landing next to Usami while Ikaris landed next to Dina.

"If I had cast [CLOCKWORK] a second slower she would have died..." Sol stared at Usami, and then looked to Eris at her feet whom she was trying to protect while the healer had a projectile spear directly before her about to pierce her skull while she was trying to her her injured leg.

Bruce had several demons targeting him at once, and Arla who was the weakest there in terms of defence was casting a high-tier offensive skill whilst also being protected by Dina who was just about to unleash her [pulsar] trump card to try and create a moment of clarity for everyone before they were swarmed after her shields and barriers had all been bypassed easily by the levels 400 and above demons.

"If Sara didn't come back when she did... They'd have all died this time." Sol lowered his gaze with a dark expression as he saw the creatures start to slightly move again. "I'd kill them all myself but this is too good an opportunity for these heroes to miss, that includes you, these creatures are good sources of growth."

Sol looked around at Ikaris, but was slightly taken aback when he found that all of the demons around Dina had already been decapitated and the mage in question had already fired off [pulsar], which was such an incomprehensibly fast technique that it had already moved several dozen metres despite time almost stopping completely around them.

"Do you have enough mana to re-cast [clockwork]?" Sol asked Ikaris, and she looked around at him after taking another head off its shoulders and shook her own head.

"You had over a hundred million in mana before so you never noticed, but [clockwork] is a divine skill that takes a tremendous amount of power to maintain, if I were to cast it with only my 250k mana pool I would be left with little to nothing." Ikaris explained the details and Sol nodded, now that he thought about it he really did casually spam some overpowered techniques sometimes.

"I have no choice then, if I leave the sphere it vanishes, and even if I stay it has a limit to how long it can run, and it's about to reach that limit." He turned and moved Usami, Bruce and Eris out of the way and turned his body arching and punching once.

[Mana infused punch: casual]

"That should be enough for this side, which is the majority, I'll leave the rest to you, Arla, Dina and Usami while I get these two out of the way."

"Arla?" Ikaris looked at the mage who was in the middle of casting a high-tier spell. "And even Usami?" She added and Sol nodded.

"Usami seems to have already killed a few, and despite her being several times weaker, Arla has also killed at least one or two, but these guys..." Sol took Bruce by his shoulder plate and picked up Eris like a cat, holding her by her abdomen against his side. "They don't have that much firepower yet, especially Eris, she needs a lot of growth, but Bruce is a massive let-down."

"Stand clear of their attacks, I'll be back in a snap." Sol looked at Ikaris with an expression of caution and she nodded in return, standing by Dina and Arla and casting [Undefined tier infernal magic: hell's kitchen] where they had not managed to cover.

Sol vanished, the dome shattered immediately, and there was a moment of the world being completely silent before the sounds of roars and explosions and Dina's cosmic whirring mana mixed and blended together in a confusion of three extra-massive explosions and one sonic burst courtesy of Sol that changed the landscape and tore through the few hundred remaining High-tier demonkin like a freshly sharpened knife through tofu leaving only a single demon before Usami.

"Wha!!" Dina snapped after her [pulsar had run its course and she was caught by Ikaris, Similarly Arla fell onto Ikaris's back as she caught Dina and the two of them looked around at her shocked as dozens of headless high-tier demons fell to the ground.

"What the fuck just happened?" Usami stared shocked as her spear drove through the eye of the demon in front of her, she wasted no time, even as her ears bled and rung she focused on her opponent.

[Spear manipulation: expand]

The weapon grew in girth and caused the head of the creature it had impaled to pop like a fallen melon.

Far out of the reach of the others Sol floated with Bruce and Eris in his grasp.

[You have killed 850 high level demonkin]

[No levels gained]

[Mana has increased by 0.00002%]

"What the hell-"

"Be silent." Sol spoke, and they both paused for a second, staring down at the after-effects of the four-way destructive combined attack that had saved their lives.

"You saved us?" Bruce asked watching his feet dangle above clouds while Eris obediently remained silent.

"Eris's case I get, she was support behind mage support, as far as her role goes as a healer she is being asked too much when she sets foot into direct confrontations like these, and yet she has been giving it her all, despite the obvious gap in strength and her complaints she has not backed down in the face of any threat." Sol ignored Bruce's question and raised him to eye level.

"So tell me Bruce, why is it that you were about to kick her into an oncoming demon to save your doomed soul, as the tanker who is supposed to be protecting her?"
