Black Summoner
Lesson 37: The Devil's Lady
"Healing Circle (Recovery Circle)"
Finish the fight with Victor and heal the entire party. As it turned out, they didn't all have a lot of damage, but there were a lot of occasions to cool the liver. No, fight the former Demon King's side so far, and you could win. It could be described as a great battle result.
"Well, are you still alive?
The first person I asked was Victor, who fought so hard earlier. I have lost my provisional first two arms, have three holes in their bodies, and have fallen on my back. It's called dying.
"Yep... unfortunately, you still seem to have a breath..."
"Oh, yeah"
There is no hegemony when we meet, and we are already about to finish that long time raw.
"But before you die, I need to ask you something."
"... what is it?
"You weren't really going to eat them with that demon king's daughter, were you?
I noticed in the middle of the fight that Victor had taken care not to hit the sealed demon when launching the attack. Even if the attack of Victor, the devil, hits that seal, he can't destroy the seal on a guy who doesn't have human characteristics, and he can't even touch a woman. That's what you said yourself before the fight, you can't possibly not know that.
"Khufu... the way you aim..."
"Why did you lie like that? There's nothing for you."
"Yeah, but if you don't, seriously, don't come, let's...? And I, Master Gustav, was entrusted..."
Victor speaks slowly.
"My life won't be long... let's scratch it and talk about it..."
the backdrop of the battle between the brave and the demon kings of the past.
- Gustav, the demon king, was a tyrant king. Every day since my ambitions made me king of the devil, I invade the territory of other countries and repeat the war. Only when people begin to call him the Demon King, and at last the brave are summoned, and the Demon King crusade is dared.
It was tyranny, even Gustav feared from his subordinates, but there was only one who had forgiven his heart. It's just one beloved daughter, Serra. At the dawn of the war, what my wife had said since the other worlds, that drowning gesture, had become remarkable. Never put it out in the surface world, a thorough gesture that even the presence of having a daughter is known only by the proximity. Serra doesn't know the world. Only a limited number of demons can talk.
Gustav was convinced of defeat when a human army led by the brave entered Gustav's castle. The demon Four Heavens was defeated everywhere, and only Victor, the caretaker of Serra, remained. There wasn't enough power. Gustav did not worry himself or his country, but only his daughter's safety. The brave are approaching that point right away. If I knew my daughter existed, I wouldn't have Serra's life.
Gustav sealed Serra as a bitter measure and closed it between transfers. The seal stops the hour of her flesh and invites her to a deep sleep. When Gustav himself dies, the transfer magic team automatically activates and transfers him to the safe house. When it does, the chain of seals adds an effect that only humans can disarm. Because, like brave men, demons and monsters could have targeted her. Then we can work to unseal the human being, as a whole, a weak species, to the trigger. Luckily, Selah doesn't even go as far as Victor, but she has strength among demons. Unless your opponent is also a brave man, you won't lose first.
Gustav orders Victor to escort Serra before confronting the brave. Victor intended to fight with Gustav and disagreed. But the moment I saw Gustav's face, I couldn't help but follow him. Gustav, the feared demon king, looked like his father, never seen him before. Victor officially orders to assume his duties and departs for the safe house where Serra will be transferred.
It was not until two days later that Gustav the Demon King heard that he had been fought by the brave. Victor succeeds in suppressing the mind that can be bound and in arriving at the safe house without being revealed who he is. But Victor was greeted by an unopened door that existed underground. Like the sealing of chains, it was a mechanism that could only be opened by humans. The doors are cleverly hidden and cannot be easily discovered, whether you are an adventurer's bastard. That's what happens, unless a visiting adventurer accidentally opens it...
Victor spent a long time in this safe house, something to say from then on. It just looks like a place with a mediocre cabin. You'll never find the basement first. There was also a way to force the man who brought him here to unseal it, but then it is possible that he will be known to the brave. Then let's wait until there are no brave men. It's a human lifespan that only lasts decades, until they're gone.
"- And it came to pass in this day and age... that there were wars in the nations, but compared to the Demon King, it was also equal to children's games..."
And this basement was discovered as a dungeon, and by chance the door was opened by the adventurer. Victor was planning to darken his appearance with Serra, who had eaten the powerful adventurers he had come from and unsealed them.
"Totally, my plans went crazy..."
While spitting blood, Victor continues.
"I have one favor to ask... would you please give Serra to your people...?
"... as far as I'm concerned, why would it be so"
"Kufu... you are strong, from your people, trusted... from monsters, even..."
View Kroto and Gérard.
"Did you realize that Kroto was a monster, both a raven and a horn, and Gerard?"
"That's all, we had a meeting... soon, okay, I... summoner,?
Split.
"Master Serra has never been out of the castle... if you can, show her the world..."
"... I don't know if you'll accept that Serra will be under your command?
Makes the end of his mouth laugh niggly, Victor answers.
"Absolutely, I will… Serra is curious, so… and she fought all that battle… Consciousness awakens from sleep, will…"
"Are you awake..."
"Khufu... Unseal it and I'll open my eyes immediately... I hear this conversation too, I'm here..."
'... I didn't lie'
Apparently, it's true.
"Suggestion, aren't you willing to be my subordinate too? Then we can make him recover, right?
"Attractive invitation, but my lord is only the Demon King... and it seems too late..."
Victor's consciousness fades.
"Kuff, f... the devil, it's weird to ask, but if you feel like it, this matter, please, shim, su..."
Power falls out of the body and Victor stops moving. At the same time, fanfare rings in the brain.
"Level up, or..."
Because of the level difference, the amount of EXP is not half. Fanfare doesn't stop ringing either. But it's a little empty...
"Well, let Serra and I go."
"Is it good? Sure, Master Melfina said he could be the Demon King..."
Effil's concerns are paramount.
"Haha, I'm a sentimental person. Ha, that's really sweet stuffing, me..."
Touch the chain of seals. The chain glows blue and white and breaks and falls at the next moment.
"Now, can you hear me?
The red-haired demon slowly opened his lid...
"... Father, Victor, they're all idiots!
- I cried out.
