Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~

(Hm?)

The Grimoire suddenly appeared in front of Allen. The cover was lined with silver lines of logs.

'Allen's party current size: 15, Helmios' party current size: 10, Galara's party current size: 15. There's 60 remaining spots to enter the Divine Realm.'

The God of Time and Space had put a hard limit on how many could enter, and the Grimoire showed how many more could go. But Allen mentioned 10 so they were more like a party.

(Huh, without Peromus we should be 14 here, or are they counting Tam-Tam too?)

[Abandoned Gamers' 15 members]

Allen, Kurena, Cecile, Dogora, Kiel, Sophie, Merle, Formar, Shea, Luck, Peromus, Rosalina, Ignomas, Haku, Tam-Tam.

After obtaining a soul from Digragni, Tam-Tam became a proper party member, so he would have to tell Merle and Tam-Tam later. For now he waited silently for the Dragon King's response.

'Kurena and Haku fought so you could take those men with you. I can't allow my selfishness to take away from those efforts.'

Saying that, the Dragon King closed his eyes. Maybe his response would have been different if Astel was there.

"I see…then…"

Allen could tell the Dragon King had been looking forward to that for 3000 years.

He could easily say yes, but instead he opened his eyes and looked at a dragonkin priest.

'I see, while we were secluded in our small village a new hero was born. Listen Tegsano.'

"Yessir!!"

The priest replied just as Allen turned to look at him.

'I, the Dragon King Matildora, have decided that I want to see the future brought by Haku. Go and tell the entire Dragon God's Village that we're all supporting Allen now!!'

The Dragon King announced in a thunderous voice that shook the temple.

Allen wished he spoke with a lower voice, as he was right next to him.

"That's Allen for you. And oh right, I almost forgot I had something for you, here, an invitation."

Helmios sounded almost tired of Allen's actions, but he still praised him.

Then he took out what looked like a piece of parchment from his magic bag.

(Seriously? It's only been 3 months since the last one. Though I can imagine what they want to talk about.)

"A meeting again?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Allen made his disgust obvious.

"Don't look at me like that. It's an invitation for the Five Continents Alliance, you got one before right?"

Allen looked at the rolled parchment with a bored look.

"That means Master Allen has gotten so important that the meeting can't start with him!"

Sophie seemed excited by the news.

"Of course, Allen is humanity's hope after all."

Helmios knew how much of a name Allen had made for himself after Rosenheim, the S Rank Dungeon, the Evil Cult, and Prostia's crisis.

Now Allen had gotten rid of the strongholds that existed for 60 years, and before those news spread he had opened the gate to the divine realm. That quickly prompted a meeting.

Allen would also be important to fight the Demon King's Army later, and all countries knew that the Demon King was the tyrant emperor of Giamut resurrected, so Allen's help was needed to talk with Albahar, since they no longer trusted Giamut.

"Ughh, I really want to go to the divine realm now though."

Allen was acting like a child told to do homework instead of playing games.

"It'll happen in Rosenheim's Fortenia, so Sophie feel free to attend too."

The date was written on the parchment, so Allen could already start thinking of what to say.

"Ah, I see…"

Sophie seemed moved to hear that the meeting would happen in Rosenheim.

(So they're in Rosenheim next. It seems like they're really getting back on their feet there.)

Now that all strongholds had been destroyed, they needed to discuss how they would proceed.

Even Albahar's Beast King was willing to talk if it involved the future of everyone.

They also chose Rosenheim as the next meeting location to work around Albahar's doubts.

But that also meant that Rosenheim had recovered from the Demon King's Army's attack enough to host the meeting again. That was also thanks to Allen.

"Lord Dragon King, if you could, please take part in the meeting as well."

Helmios approached the Dragon King next. The Dragon God's Village had been absent from the war so far.

'Alright, I'll go with my servants, so reserve me a seat.'

Allen glanced at Sophie, then just nodded in resignation as he went to address his army.

They were starting to overstay their welcome there, so he just gave the generals a short outline of his next plans, and told them he would give them more details later.

"I'm sorry, I really wanted to go with all of you, but there's a limit. I'll tell you more about the meeting, and how to strengthen the army further through Okiyo later."

He told Lud he would use a Wraith A summon to communicate.

"Understood. Please take care of Lady Shea."

"Yes, also can I entrust you with a message in case you return to Albahar?"

"Hm? What is it?"

Lud seemed intrigued by that message.

"There's still open spots to enter the divine realm. It'd be a waste if no one takes them, so if the Ten Heroic Beasts want to, they can come as well."

"Hm?"

Lud seemed a bit confused at first, so Allen explained further. The Ten Heroic Beasts had helped him go through the S Rank Dungeon and later when fighting the Demon King's Army.

Prince Zew and the Ten Heroic Beasts had also helped with Rosenheim's defenses afterwards, so Allen wanted to thank them for all that.

"And tell them that Sophie asked me to do that for them."

"...Master Allen…"

Sophie felt a pang in her heart realizing why Allen was giving her the credit.

Cooperation was crucial to fight the Demon King's Army, so all races would get along better if an elf like Sophie did that, rather than a human like Allen.

"General Lud, we'll also visit the Village of Primordial Beasts. So please tell the Ten Heroic Beasts that there's plenty for them to gain too."

And if other beastmen countries also wanted to go, Allen would reserve a few spots for them.

(He's been quiet for a while now.)

As Lud started to understand what Allen was saying, he stiffened up.

"I'll do my utmost to fulfill that request."

After a while, he gave a firm reply as tears formed in his eyes, then he looked at Shea who stood next to Allen.

"Good, then make sure to give the heroes the send-off they deserve."

"Yes, Lady Shea! Listen up everyone! These heroes are about to depart to the divine realm! See them off with all the fanfare they deserve!"

Clap clap clap
