I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

"Tch. Finally… it's time." Adu muttered, cracking his knuckles as he grinned with delight.

He and the other nine Demon Generals were in position, leading their respective groups into battle.

They were in the pseudo zone, a pocket dimension that existed as a temporary waiting point before they advanced to battle.

Their army was complete, and every single soldier was raring to go.

"Remember, we're not supposed to directly interfere. Our minions are meant to do the work for us." Hogun whispered to the child-like demon.

"H-hey! I know that already!"

"Just saying… in case you forgot."

"Why, you…!"

Hogun was by Adu's right, so he was able to make some comments that annoyed the malevolent demon—as he liked to call himself.

"W-why don't we all just calm down and—" A blue demon by Adu's left muttered, speaking in a meek and diminutive tone.

"Zip it, fatso! No one asked for your opinion." Adu snapped with his usual loud and disrespectful tone.

"H-hey, I have a name, you know? It's Shuuma, and you—"

"I said shut it, fatso! You're fat and so you're called fatso. Got it?"

The fat and blue demon called Shuuma shrunk back quickly, looking deflated—though not a single ounce of his weight reduced in any way.

In fact, he felt quite famished after hearing his colleague bash him with so many words. Perhaps eating a few humans would do the trick.

"The [Gate] Magic Device will take us directly to our location, so we should be able to attack from that point." Heshu spoke loudly, repeating information they already knew.

They had been monitoring the city of Dulum for the past few days, and nothing was out of the ordinary. It was a simple Adventurer's City filled with weak humans that would serve as nothing but fodder in the presence of their demon army.

Victory was inevitable.

"Now then… shall we begin?"

>SHIIIINNNGGGGG!!!<

As planned, the demon army appeared right on the wilderness plains, just a slight distance from the Adventurer's City.

The moment they arrived, each and every demon gazed in one direction,the City, Dulum.

To the demons who were just coming from their civilized environment, where technology and Magic were quite commonplace, many were disgusted at the primitive city.

The poorly constructed fence that surrounded the city, the dirt and grime that made up the inner strata, and how their buildings looked shabby and unfit for inhabitation.

Of course, only those who specialized in Sight Magic, or were extremely perceptive due to their heightened senses, could see just how incredibly pathetic the town was.

"We're to occupy this land? I almost don't see the point." Adu cackled uncontrollably.

His demon soldiers behind him nearly joined him, but the fact that the other Demon Generals didn't do the same, erased the thought from their minds.

"Adu, you know already that—"

"I know, I know already. It's still hilarious though." He chuckled even more, cutting Hogun's message short.

"The resources that are our main goal run deep underground, and if you trace the location of the deposits they are right beneath this city."

The Great Helios Labyrinth—their target—was located at the outskirts of the city. However, since it had underground stratas as floors, the deeper one got, the closer they got to the city of Dulum—just underground.

"Our goal is to claim the land for our Lord, so there aren't any complications later." Heshu smartly retorted.

He wasn't a demon who liked constant social interactions and engagement. In fact, the only reason he was still talking to his colleagues was simply because he had been instructed to… by Lord Valefor.

"Okay, so first we spread out and assume formation. Remember the pla—"

"We get it already." Adu angrily grumbled, cutting Heshu short.

"Very well, then. I suppose we'll only make contact when the mission is complete. I doubt anything will stop us, so, we will be seeing one another soon enough."

Heshu and his army began dispersing, and so did everyone else. Adu as well prepared to move to his position.

'Father could be watching through some kind of device… maybe a Divining Orb. I can't mess up here!'

He floated in the air as his soldiers steadily followed behind him. This mission meant everything to Adu. He refused to lose!

****************

"So, they're finally here." The Vice Guildmaster, Zabdel muttered as he stared at a screen in front of him.

It was a Magic Item known as a 'TV Screen', and it was currently being powered by a Mana Generator known as a 'Battery'.

The Legendary Dragon Slayer had given Zabdel and his people specific instructions on how to use this device, and they had set up what he could only remember as 'Kamras' all around the compound, so they could see everything that went on outside their compound.

As such, the very moment the demon army appeared, Zabdel and his most trusted Adventurers were aware of their enemies' position…

… And their number.

"Even though the Legendary Dragon Slayer said so, it's still very hard to believe. To think over ten thousand demons are coming our way."

It was something beyond Zabdel's realm of understanding. Fortunately, he didn't need to.

"Asa, sound the sirens. Gu, enlist all the Adventurers in the city. They should all gather right outside the gate. Gerund, the denizens of this City, make sure all of them are out of their homes too. They need to know what's happening."

Every one of Zabdel's subordinates nodded and leaped into action immediately. As they left the surveillance room, leaving Zabdel alone with Liebert and the Legendary Dragon Slayer's direct subordinates, the middle aged man couldn't help but sigh.

His body was trembling slightly, and despite his best attempt to hide his fright, he was extremely terrified.

However—

'No! We've come this far! I can't back down now! Let's put our trust in the Legendary Dragon Slayer. It's the only way!'

"All the Adventurers have been equipped with high-end weapons—not like we'll need it, according to the Legendary Dragon Slayer." Zabdel turned to the remaining people within the room.

"Our duty is to simply spectate."
