◆ Reaper Sarxis
"What are you talking about?! Say it again, Sarxis!!!
Grabbed by the neck and lifted.
"Let go... Lavulus... It's painful... it's going to die..."
Move your body.
"Hmm!!
When he seemed to suffer, Lawrence threw it down in a funny way.
"Hah!!
He moans pitifully when he is lowered to the ground.
"I told you... that's right... It seems that Lena has a lover. A man called the Light Warrior....."
The man in front of me trembles angrily when he hears it.
He is a normal person if he is just a figure.
Muscles swell up on both hands and feet, neck is thick and jaw is large. Seems to have forced the violence into human form.
However, Lavrus is a person, but it is a temporary figure. True form is far from man.
This man is not human. He is a tribe of gods that do not belong to Ellios, and is called a devil by the gods of Ellios.
He returned from a human country called Rox and told Lavrus what had happened there.
Lavrus, who initially sounded uninterested, suddenly grabbed my neck when I was talking about the Light Warrior.
"Shit! Lena belongs to this Lavulus! You put your hands on my girl and I'll kill you!!
Ravulus's anger.
I wonder when I hear that.
When did Lena become this guy's?
Lena is one of the most beautiful goddesses in Ellios, called the Three Beautiful Gods.
Not as modest as Lavrus, but the true figure of Lavrus is also ugly. Lena can't be snoring.
Not only this Lavrus, but many of the gods are approaching Lena.
And everybody is fighting underwater saying that they are Lena's lover.
It seems that Ellios is making a fuss about having a lover in that Lena.
My lover's name is Reggie. He's a man called the Brave of Light.
I don't know where this man came from. However, the power is so great that it is comparable to Audis.
They also look very beautiful. There are rumors among the goddesses of the world, not just Ellios.
Lavrus had never known that the presence of the Light Hero was in the Labyrinth. That's why I'm angry now.
"Orders, Zalxis! Bring that Light Warrior here!!
Lawrence speaks arrogantly.
Why should this Sarxis listen to this man's orders?
I'm angry. I'm not under this man's command in the first place.
But Lavrus, who does not belong to Ellios and is hostile to Modes, wants to be on his side.
And now you're hiding in this labyrinth, it's hard to refuse.
This is the deepest part of the underground labyrinth in the Minon plains.
This room with the throne of Lawrence is spacious and magnificent.
Honestly, I don't deserve this crude god.
But the power of this labyrinth is enormous. This labyrinth, built by Dwarf masters, empowers Lavulus. The Labyrinth created by special magic materials and dwarf magic skills is strong.
You can't use the magic of your space in this labyrinth built for Lavrus.
That's why the mighty coward Lavrus won't get out of this labyrinth.
"You want me to bring you here, not lead you to the brave?
Lavrus says to bring him to this labyrinth, a land that is advantageous to him, not to kill the heroes of light. What a cowardice!
"Yes! Excuse me, Sarxis?! I'd be invincible here! I don't know if he's a hero of light! I'll slay you with my ax!!
That's how I take my ax.
It is a huge magical axe called the Lavrus double-edged axe. This man's sacred mark also resembles a double-edged axe.
Lawrence slashes the sky with an axe.
The impact of the axe shakes the labyrinth.
Without a proper axe, it would be possible to destroy this half-defunct body with just this impact.
Touch this half-defunct body. We are able to survive by sucking up a lot of the vitality of those who live on earth.
The traitor's modesty threatened to destroy him.
I managed to survive, but my body was damaged and broken, gradually collapsing.
I want to regenerate my body anyway, but it needs a lot of vitality.
It is inhaling vitality from humans, but no matter how much inferior life force it inhales, it is finally possible to maintain the body. Very inefficient.
Angels can gain a lot of vitality, but they can't stand out as long as they are hostile to Ellios' gods and Modes.
We can't target other gods for the same reason.
Therefore, we have to endure with inferior creatures. The main target is humans.
Man must be destroyed, a race loved by the gods of Ellios the hostile.
He destroyed some human kingdoms, breathed life, and made another monster a sacrificial sheep, and fled from the eyes of the gods of Ellios.
It wasn't Rox's fault, it was Striguez's fault.
But Modes found out that he was alive when he ran into his dark knight.
And the brave woman of light saw herself. That means Ellios knew about it.
Really, why were they there? I don't know why. But what I can assure you is that it will be difficult to gain vitality from now on.
But if you don't suck your vitality out of others, you will eventually perish. What should I do?
It's bad luck to suck on life force by mistake.
All we have to do is regenerate the flesh by gaining a lot of vitality at once.
Remember the hero. I felt powerful vitality from him.
Can't we take his life?
That way we can regenerate this flesh.
That's why I'm going to listen to Lawrence's orders.
"Okay, good. Let's invite the brave to this labyrinth. In this labyrinth, you probably won't be able to beat Modes..."
"Don't say the name of Modes!!!
Lawrence yells loudly.
I can see you're bluffing but scared. Apparently, I'm still afraid of Modes.
When I look closely, I feel trembling.
Lavrus, much bigger than himself, looks smaller.
"Yes, if we catch the brave, we can lure Lena to this labyrinth to feed on him. That way, Lena will be the owner."
I suggest we lure Lena to energize Lawrence. We need Lawrence to fight the traitors again.
Except for those of Ellios in this world, only Lavrus is likely to be able to fight Modes.
You must come out of the labyrinth again.
"Say something good, Zarxis! Yes, the goddess is worthy of this Lavrus."
Remember Lena? Lavulus's tremors stopped.
Looking at it, he sighs. Now, how do we lure the brave?
◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki
Travel from the magical city of Salia to the Republic of Ariadia.
A griffon with us on board flies through the wind.
The weather is nice and the wind is pleasant.
Sahoko is on the griffon I ride with. Sahoko is riding on my back.
Next to me is a flying griffon with Nao and Lino on it.
And in front of us is Raige riding Pegasus.
Quite a ride, Chiyuki.
Nao laughs as he flies sideways.
"Really, why didn't you think of that sooner?
I came up with the idea of riding a flying beast after I fought the Dark Knights in Nargor.
I saw the Dark Knight fighting on a Wyburn and wondered if I could do the same.
However, Wyburn is only in Nargor. We searched for an alternative beast and arrived at Griffon and Hypoglyph.
It was hard to hold onto, but it went well.
We laugh when we remember that. It is a good memory that we all struggled.
"What are you laughing at, Chiyuki?
Laughing brings Raj, who was flying ahead.
Reggie is riding alone in Pegasus. Lino wanted to ride with me, but I got rid of Sahoko and Nao by myself.
Sahoko and Nao always refrain. That's why I decided to be fair and not to ride with anyone.
The Pegasus on which Reggie is riding, unlike the Griffons and Hypoglyphs on which we are riding, is not a nostalgic beast.
Pegasus came from Lena. Pegasus seems to be a precious thing that would not be allowed to ride without the Holy Knight, but it was specifically given to Raige.
Everything seems to be a sacrifice for the Rox kingdom.
Rage flying through the blue sky in Pegasus is like a picture. It is difficult, but it suits me well.
"I was talking about the time I took care of the Beast."
"Oh, you mean at that time. It was a lot of trouble."
Reggie smiles freshly. Then everyone around me laughs.
It was difficult to ride a griffon or a hippoglyph.
It wasn't that hard to catch, but it was a series of trials and mistakes as to how the Beast could be used for riding.
First, I came up with the idea of using a griffon to demonize.
Organisms that become user demons are able to use their master's abilities to some extent, and are stronger than before they become user demons.
However, in order to use an organism as a demon, a master magician cannot use a demon unless he or she has much higher vitality and magic than an organism used as a demon.
In other words, you cannot use the existence of personality or stronger presence than yourself to become a demon. Also, even if you are weaker than yourself, if the difference is small, you can't be a magician.
A human magician can use magic only if it's a dog or a cat, and no big beast can use magic.
It seems that an elf can use a fairly large beast to demonize it.
However, it seems that even elves with much stronger magic than humans can't use humans to demonize them.
It seems difficult to use humans as magicians unless they are Angels or a race of equal or greater power.
However, if you use a human being as a devil, it is not called a devil, but a messenger.
Griffon is a powerful beast, and elves seem to be difficult to use against angels, but it is possible if we are stronger than the Angels.
But for one reason, I refused to use it as a demon.
That's because creatures who become magicians only love masters who use themselves to become magicians.
And I don't know how to restore a creature that once became a demon.
That was the problem.
Once before, Reno used the prince of the kingdom as a magician, in this case as an apostle.
The prince, who became an apostle, loved only Lino and was in trouble.
In Lino's story, the prince said he wanted you to be an apostle.
At last, it seems that Reno made an amusing messenger by dictating Reno away.
Even though there is a fiancé, the prince who dictates to Reno is also a prince, but I think Reno is also a problem in Reno.
At that time, I searched for a way to solve the surgery, but I couldn't find it and I was behind.
I'll have to do something about it eventually, but honestly, I have a headache.
Well, because of those things, I decided to stop making magic tricks unless it was necessary.
Instead, I used Reno and my magic to ride. I don't have to use it as a demon because there is no problem with it.
That's how we succeeded in getting griffins and hippoglyphs in hand.
We aim for the Republic of Ariadia with laughter.
Talaboss says there's been a problem in the Republic of Ariadia, and he wants you to hear more about it.
Speaking of which, is Shirone and the others okay?
Sahoko worries about Shirone and the others.
"I don't know. But aside from Kyoka-san, it comes with Kaya. I think we can stop Mr. Shirone from running wild."
That's what I answer.
I was the one who put Kyoka and Kaya on Shirone. I knew it was dangerous for Shirone alone. Silone alone could get into Nargor alone.
"Mr. Shirone, can you get your childhood back?
Now Reno looks at Nargor and says,
"I think that's a little difficult, Reno."
Reiji looks at Lino and says.
"Eh, why? Mr. Reggie?"
"Think about it, Reno. He followed the Devil. I wonder how many people in this world have been hurt by the Devil. Even if you weren't sane, you wouldn't be forgiven. I don't think he has the face to see Shirone, so he just disappears. Yeah, I would if I were him."
Rage said with an unusual and serious face.
"Oh no... I wanted to see you at the corner. I was able to get back together with my childhood friends."
"Yes, Ray-kun. Shirone wanted to see her childhood acquaintance."
Reno and Sahoko say sadly.
"Unfortunately... He'll have to take responsibility. You don't want to involve Shirone in making amends for what you've done. You should keep an eye on this place."
Reggie nods.
I hear Reiji say, "That's your wish," and I stick it in my heart.
Isn't it just that you don't like the fact that Shirone's childhood acquaintance has appeared in this world and that Shirone may leave you?
But I also know a little about what Raj is saying.
The people of this world are suffering from monsters. The Demon King, the ruler of those monsters, is an unforgivable existence.
According to Shirone, his childhood friend seems to be a good man. You may feel guilty about being a pioneer of the Devil King.
But I don't think it's a good idea to leave before Shirone. Then you won't be able to rest assured of Shirone. Otherwise, I can't laugh.
Reggie may hate it, but we should welcome him as one of us.
So I have to say that the only bad thing is the Demon King.
There may be monsters living in the woods below where we are flying now.
Defeating the Demon King will eliminate the damage caused by the monsters. That should make this world more enjoyable.
"Wait, everybody!!
Rage stops everybody when they're flying.
"What's the matter, Reggie?
There's a woman screaming.
Reggie flies Pegasus in a different direction from his destination.
"What do you say, Nao?
I look at Nao.
"Amazing, Senpai Reiji... This Nao-san just realized...."
Nao looked at Rage's back and said that his sensing skills were too high.
"Let's go, guys!!
Everyone nods when I say so.
This is the only place Rage can count on. Probably a beautiful woman in a pinch.
We hurried after Reggie too.
◆ Freedom Warrior Girl Shizufe
"Shizufe!!!
Kaina's sister calls out my name.
"I know!!
That's what I see in front of me.
There is an orc there.
A giant pig stood up like a human being, bigger than me.
Those lustful eyes are looking down at me like licking me around.
"Don't lick me!!!
I look at the orc and hold my sword.
I can't ask for help. My friends are fighting another orc. The orc in front of me will have to be defeated by me.
It's not the first time I've fought an orc. At that time, however, there was only one orc, and there were people to fight with.
But this time, there were more than one orc attacked. I don't know the number.
We are on our way back to the Republic of Ariadia at the request of an escort.
This area was supposed to be easy work with few monsters.
However, we have been ambushed by orcs on the street, and we are still fighting without confirming the number.
This is the first time I've fought multiple orcs.
Originally, orcs don't make herds like goblins. And now the orcs are attacking in groups.
This has never happened before.
Half of the Freedom Fighters who were escorting the carriage as a result of the Orcs raid have already been hit and knocked down.
All that remains is my companion, Kaina's sister, and a few freedom fighters.
If it's true, it's no wonder I've already been killed. I guess I'm still alive because I'm a woman.
The orc is trying to catch me, a woman, intact. They're disgusting.
But there's a gap.
"Yikes!!
I wave my sword slowly.
The orc waves a stick to play the sword while laughing.
You're going to fly the sword and get me unharmed.
Now!!
I lower my sword quickly. The stick cuts the sky as it is.
It worked. I am confident in swordsmanship alone.
The empty orc disorients itself. I won't miss it.
I kick the ground into the opponent's pocket and stab the sword into the heart of the orc.
"What?!
The orc looks down at me with an incredible expression.
That will be the case. Originally, I couldn't scratch an orc with my arm.
The skin of the oak is firm enough to become a material for skin armor and skin shields.
It would be difficult without a fairly well-trained warrior to scratch the orc.
Not to mention knocking down the orc, it's impossible for a 17-year-old girl with no muscle in her arms.
But what makes it possible is my magical sword. With this sword from my father, who was a freedom fighter, I can be a freedom fighter.
The orc falls with its sword stabbed. It was a reward for seeing her as a woman.
I try to pull out a fallen sword.
"What?!
I can't pull out my sword. Shit, I put too much effort into it.
When I was trying to pull it out, my body suddenly lifted.
As soon as I turned around, there was an oak face nearby.
Shit, I didn't notice it coming from behind.
"Bu ho ho ho ho ♪"
The orc smiles happily. Cold stuff flows to your spine.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
I scream as much as I can.
The orc tries to carry me into the woods.
"Help me! I hate to help you!!
I get violent, but I can't get out of the orc's arm.
I don't like this. I don't like it when the orc dies for the first time.
At that time, the sky glowed.
"What?!
I unexpectedly meditate.
And all of a sudden, it's dropped off on the ground.
"What....."
When I opened my eyes and turned around, the orc that had lost its head fell.
I see the direction in which the light came.
A horse is flying in the sky. The light emitted from the horses penetrates through the orcs one after the other. In an instant, all the orcs were defeated.
"Beautiful..."
There was an unexpected voice.
A man on a horse from the sky comes down before us.
The figure is radiant and divine.
The man who got off the horse stood in front of me.
The man who helped me was more beautiful than any man I've ever seen.
Your body looks smooth and your bright hair shines in the sun.
That beautiful face gently smiles at me. My cheeks are hot and I can't hear myself falling in love with that face.
"Are you okay?
I couldn't help but fall in love and stood still. I wonder what you were thinking even though it was dangerous just now. Something impossible happened so I couldn't catch up with my head.
But it's rude not to say anything like this.
"Ha, yes, thank you! I almost got caught by an orc."
I thank you for everything.
"When I was flying in the sky, I heard a call for help, so I hurried. You made it."
That's what I'm going to do.
I will be caught in the act.
When caused, the man's face gets closer. Unlike oak, it has a refreshing scent.
"I'm Reggie. Could you tell me your name, miss?
"It's Sisferia...."
"Kohn!!
All of a sudden, I hear coughing from behind Reiji.
Someday someone stood behind Reiji. I didn't notice it because I was only watching Mr Reiji.
I let go in a hurry.
"What is it? Chiyuki?"
Reiji looked back. I'm sorry I can't see my face.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's a little good, Mr. Reggie."
I see a woman called Chiyuki, who is the voice partner from Reiji's back.
So I take a breath.
"Beautiful..."
Unexpectedly murmuring. The second word today.
A woman named Chiyuki was very beautiful.
Beautiful eyes with a white and neat look. My body is slightly out. Especially beautiful is the black hair that reaches my waist. Reflecting the sun's light, it sparkles.
I look at it and feel a little depressed. That's cool, so there's no way a woman can leave me alone. It was a short love...
The woman named Chiyuki is looking at me in a mood.
"May I have a word with you?
Beautiful but exposed to cold gaze.
"Yes, what is it!!
Her eyes are beautiful and her voice rises.
"Twelve orcs attacked. Is this for sure?
"Er... no... I don't know either. I couldn't find out how many orcs attacked me because I was suddenly attacked...."
I answer a lot.
"Yes... There's nothing I can do about it...."
A woman named Chiyuki sighs.
"What's wrong with the number of orcs, Chiyuki?
"There were twelve Oak bodies, and this is the one Raj took down. Strangely enough, none of the twelve of them have a higher orc. This is really weird."
A woman named Chiyuki ignored whether she was no longer interested in me and continued the conversation with Reiji.
"Any sign of any other monsters nearby?
"I have Lino and Nao searching for another monster nearby. I don't feel like I'm hiding."
"Really... Maybe the vice president of the sorcerers' association was talking about the impact of the incident. Maybe you can go to Ariadia and find out more."
"I'm sure that's true....."
A woman named Chiyuki nodded at Reiji's words.
"I still don't know how many more people got hurt. But now that Sahoko is using healing magic, everyone should be safe."
I see. By the way, is there a girl among the wounded?
"Eh...? No one seems to be injured by a girl....."
"If so, I'm relieved."
I feel as relieved to hear the words as Reiji does. Looks like my people are okay.
"Why are you so worried about girls anymore..."
"Well, it's the brave man's job to protect a weak woman."
"If you can... be the protector for everyone."
Someone approaches when the two of you are talking.
It was Atrana, our escorted woman, who approached us.
We were hired to escort her and the merchant to Ariadia.
"Thank you very much. Thank you, brave man."
Atrana thanked Mr Reggie.
It is very elegant that Atrana, a strange old lady with a gift, should thank you.
"What about you?
"My name is Atlana, and I lead this caravan. If the brave man hadn't come, it would have been terrible."
"No, I'm glad I could protect someone as beautiful as you."
Reiji thanked Atrana. This one's pretty elegant, too.
Well, you're good.
Atrana smiles. Unlike me, I can afford to handle it. Maybe this is the difference in experience.
Just a woman who says chiyuki beside her, looks even more unhappy when she sees it.
I feel somehow out of place.
It was going to be a long story, so I left the scene.
"Looks like we're safe, Shizufe."
Kaina's sister comes to her when she leaves Reiji. She seems to be safe because she was a woman just like herself.
"I see, Kaina sister... she seems to be okay somehow"
Despite being attacked by orc herds, my life was saved. This is a miracle.
We rejoice in being safe.
"Even so, it's amazing... That much orc was defeated in an instant. Could that be the Light Warrior?
"Light warrior?
"I don't know what it is, Shizufe. Well, it's still famous around here... Sounds like the strongest on the east side of the continent across the Central Mountains. It's all about a man loved by the goddess Reina."
Kaina's sister looks at Lady Reggie and says.
"A brave man loved by the goddess....."
His power is worthy of being called a brave man. Keena listened to her sister, and I stared at Lady Reggie's back with enthusiasm.
