I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

The Demon Army was surrounded before they even knew what was happening.

In front of them were the swarm of monsters that charged at them with primal ferocity. Normally, this wouldn't have been a problem if their soldiers were in top form.

Unfortunately, they were still groggy from exhaustion.

Still, with the barrier that protected them like a wall, it was safe to say that they had a very good chance at victory.

However…

… Behind them appeared a second group.

"N-no way…!"

"This can't be real!"

"T-those are—!!!"

The newly emerged soldiers were not living beings. They weren't humans, neither were they monsters—no, these things were something else entirely.

"G-Golems?!!"

That's right. These soldiers were non-living machines of destruction.

They had various forms—from massive giant bodies, to quadrupedal beast-like designs. Some glimmered with bright colors, like precious gems, while others were as dark as night.

The Golems seemed to be built with varying materials as well.

Some were purely metallic, while others had a rock-like appearance. This diversity in their appearances made them quite distinct. However, if there was a similarity between all of them, it was this…

"T-they're strong!"

"This energy… it can't be!"

"They're powerful! All of them are at Max Level!"

Average Golems had a max Level of 10. A Level 5 Golem would have an equal amount of strength, if not greater, compared to a Level 30 human. Level 4s would be around the Level 20s to 25s by human standard.

Usually, these were the most powerful kinds, or even the rarest most humans could ever dream of producing.

However…

"Level 10?! All of them?!" The demon soldiers all screeched.

Unlike with living beings, it was somewhat easier to determine their level. Based on the energy and quality that was used in creating them, one could measure their Level.

Any demon with basic education would know how to decipher a Golem's Level. Which was why the Middle Class demons were gaping in shock once they saw the armada of Level 10 Golems.

They spread across the battlefield, completely surrounding the demon army from behind in a large circle.

In essence, the demons were sandwiched between the monsters and several Golems.

With their rear and front were completely sealed off, leaving no room for escape, there was only one course of action left.

PANIC!

"W-what should we do?!"

"I'm so exhausted."

"They're stationary. Why are they not moving?"

"We're screwed!"

"Why aren't our leaders doing anything?"

"We're all going to dieeeee!!!"

Fear was a sensation most demons hadn't felt for any other being but fellow demons. The fact that they were put in such a vulnerable position, in a battle against feeble humans made the situation all the more bizarre.

However, how could they not panic?

Right before their eyes were thousands of Golems, who were at the peak of their abilities.

Just for reference, if a Level 5 Golem qualified as a Level 30 by human standards… how powerful would a Level 10 be?

The answer was apparent to the Mid-Demons. Each of them was well aware that they barely stood a chance against a single one of the Golems.

The Average level of the Mid-Demons on the battlefield was Level 35-40. A few were in higher Levels, but none—except the Demon Generals had attained Level 60.

And a Level 10 Golem was exactly a Level 60 by human standards.

Sure, a demon was naturally stronger than a human. Their base stats made a huge difference, and as such, Level 60 Demons were essentially going to be stronger than Level 60 humans—though no such human existed.

To make it fair, then, how could one equate a Max-Level Golem to demon standards?

"T-they have to be at least Level 40… no, maybe 45."

"You're kidding, right? They're not Level 30? B-but I'm Level 30! How will I survive?"

"This is crazy!"

"How did they even build something like this? Where did they get the technology?!"

As they murmured among themselves, wondering what to do next, a brilliant beam of light lit up the sky above.

Everyone was attracted to the light—even the monsters stopped dead in their tracks once the luminous ray illuminated the evening sky.

It sparkled with blue and white flashes, creating a vortex-like portal.

"C-could that be—?!" Some wondered if this was Demon General Adu's doing, but soon realized that it couldn't be.

His Magic was far more sinister.

Besides, Demon General Adu was also just as surprised by this manifestation.

If there was any good thing about this new development, it would be that the light appeared in the vicinity of the monsters, so the frightened demons still had their Magic Barrier defending them from whatever mysterious phenomenon was occurring.

>SWOOOOOOSSHHH<

The blue and white flashes of energy slowly dispersed, and a single being manifested at the very center of the evaporating colors.

He had dark hair, and his appearance was that of a human.

This man had a peculiar set of armor, and several crystals of light danced around him. He was all alone in the air, but he seemed even more dangerous than the monsters beneath him.

In fact—

"N-NO WAY!!!" The entire demon camp exclaimed in surprise, as they watched the impossible happen.

Every single monster in sight did the most unexpected thing ever.

They knelt. They bowed. They paid homage.

Every single one of the savage creatures bowed in obeisance to the glorious entity in the sky. He was like a god.

The Golems remained indifferent, so it wasn't certain if they were also under his control.

However, considering his top-tier outfit that had some of their materials in it's designs, and the crystals around him could be found on the Golems, it was highly probable.

With all the Monsters bowing before him, and the Golems, presumably under his authority, It was easy to tell who was in charge.

"So, this is the one… the champion of the humans, and the author of our misfortune." Hogun struggled to speak, his tone sullen.

He—like his other companions—realized just how grave the situation was.

Was this going to be end?!
