Corruption energy monsters relentlessly assaulted the barrier in pursuit of Dorothy, but defenders repelled them with Joan's flame breath and divine weapons. The protagonist noted the suspicious absence of Apostles and sensed a familiar fear signaling a greater threat, promptly calling for Lupus. As the monsters organized and merged into larger forms, Lancelot unleashed a purifying slash that halved one beast and boosted morale.

While old man Lancelot’s mighty slash managed to carve a gap in the ranks of corruption energy monsters ahead, this by itself wasn’t sufficient to halt their advance completely.

Countless corruption energy monsters encircled us, and that opening swiftly filled up again.

Yet, the corruption energy monsters showed no intention of advancing further, staying rooted in place despite the impact of that slash.

They were evidently building up for an assault, leaving us no choice but to brace for the incoming strike.

Watching them amass their strength this way, I realized their attack wouldn’t be feeble.

This prompted me to head toward where Arthur sat beside the small dragon, instructing, "When they unleash their attack, drop the barrier."

To my astonishment, however, the small dragon merely shook its head, clearly refusing.

Arthur followed suit, shaking his head too, as if he’d resist even under pressure from me.

A flicker of surprise stirred in my chest at my son defying me so, yet I understood his reasoning for rejecting the command. Obviously, he maintained the barrier to shield everyone in the capital.

Letting out a sigh, I revised, "Drop it once you sense it’s on the verge of shattering."

At last, both nodded their assent.

As they did, I caught Angela’s gaze fixed upon me.

Still, I stood firm on my choice, fully aware of their motives.

Once a man resolves to safeguard something, he clings to that vow. As another man, honoring my son’s choice was the proper course.

Admittedly, it felt odd deeming him a man while he remained essentially an infant. But his mind far outpaced his body in maturity.

This held true for my three daughters before, so my son following suit came as no shock.

Given his advanced mental maturity over his physical state, treating him accordingly felt natural.

Yet I’d gravely misjudged the small dragon’s prowess.

Despite the corruption energy monsters merging to spawn those massive corruption energy monsters, they couldn’t breach the barrier.

Regardless of their relentless collisions, the barrier withstood without faltering, not even trembling under the assault of those colossal corruption monsters.

They never got a chance for another strike.

That initial clash robbed all corruption energy monsters of their drive forward. Moreover, their unified charge left them clustered tightly together.

Thus, those poised for action found it simple to capitalize.

Rather than one strike alone, multiple assaults erupted simultaneously.

Still, not a single one fell short of old man Lancelot’s prior slash. Indeed, their raw energy appeared to eclipse his own.

These barrages sliced cleanly through the enormous corruption energy monsters besieging the capital.

Post-impact, the divine energy embedded within purged the lingering corruption energy. Resistance proved futile against this overwhelming divine force hurled their way.

Atop the walls, gripping relics, stood the attackers who’d unleashed them.

Their calm faces suggested no exhaustion from such potent blasts—as if this were routine for them.

Reality differed, though; previously, such feats lay beyond their grasp.

Without the rigorous drills under old man Lancelot, attaining this might would’ve eluded them.

"Looks like every moment spent drilling them paid off big time," I remarked, eyeing Alidus and the saintess in their midst.

These two ranked among my earliest followers and the most dedicated trainees, explaining why their strikes outshone the rest.

That said, the battle raged on unabated.

Though the assembled large corruption energy monsters lay vanquished, corruption energy monsters still swarmed plentifully. Fresh giants soon coalesced in their wake.

These newcomers loomed even bigger than their predecessors.

Evidently, their unseen controller poured greater might into them now.

True to form for Destruction’s forces unleashing full fury, yet we hadn’t expended ours fully either.

Prior inaction from relic wielders stemmed from conserving strength for precisely this juncture. Anticipating their role here, they unleashed everything now.

Led by the relic users, dismantling these giant corruption energy monsters proved swift.

It almost bordered on effortless, given their rapid downfall.

Yet endless replacements kept emerging.

"This has turned into pure attrition warfare now..."
