Darenidemo Dekiru Kage Kara Tasukeru Maō Tōbatsu

Growing trees, walking silently through tall grasses and branches of popped trees in nature with only the footprints of the beast.

The temperature is not high thanks to the wind and the shadow of the trees. That's all I was fortunate about. The health of your companion (Amelia) is the only concern. Even if the level was high, I'm used to walking down the road with bad scaffolding. Obstacles are as obsolete as possible, but accumulation of fatigue is inevitable.

The day is tilting. It'll sink completely in a couple of hours. Will the Fujido camp properly? I don't really want to think I'm stupid enough to stroll in the woods at night.

As I follow Fujido into the back of the woods, I notice that the trend is changing.

Contrary to the earlier appearance of more than usual demons on the main road, the number of demons appearing is decreasing.

Thanks to this, I have been waving my mace less often, but it was an unpleasant trend. It is possible that demons that are supposed to be in territory around here have been driven to shallow areas. Experience suggests a lot of trouble at times like this.

Stop your feet and step hard on the ground in frustration.

If you release widespread intent to kill, will you attract the target? No, it's too risky. Fujido and the others will notice. Urgency creates failure. We should not abandon solid methods. The situation is never fatal yet.

"Amelia, where's Fujido?

It's about three kilometers away.

"Three kilometers... don't catch up"

There was a problem with the fast legs. I can still feel room from Amelia's tone, albeit slightly reddening her cheeks. Looks like you can catch up before sundown......

"Ah, Ares."

Amelia speaks up.

Half-reflective smashing of a bat-shaped warcraft with a mace that has landed and attacked more than the rear sky. Bones, a unique response to destroying meat. It crumbled to the ground, desperate. I stomped on it with the soles of my shoes and exhaled briefly.

Miscellaneous fish that aren't supposed to stop by because they're lurking for signs. The demons of this hand depend on their individual properties, but they are basically things that don't strike me above myself. Even the weak bully doesn't seem to feel very good, even though there is no other way to dive into the signs than the unknown characteristics of the demon that showed up this time. Killing demons influxes very little presence, but it doesn't add up to anything now.

Turn around Amelia.

"Did I say something?

"... no... nothing"

"Any sign of a big one?

To my inquiry, Amelia meditates her eyes and exercises her magic. I can't handle the magic of detection. I don't know how I perceive it or can do it, but the signs comparable to Gracial Plant shouldn't be so in this forest.

Eventually, Amelia slowly opened her eyelids and shook her neck sideways small.

"... there are a few in the back of the woods, until that's the target..."

"Any sign of the devil?

"You don't... if it's a sign of the Dark Families, you'll know"

At the deepest end of the Vale forest, subdragon classes, including Gracial Plant, are said to be gobbling. I can't tell if it's the demon that originally lived in this forest.

I've given it some thought, but for now, I've decided to give priority to tracking Fujido. You won't go right behind the woods. It doesn't matter how much life there is in Fujido right now. No matter how much, it's not enough. Don't go. Don't ever go. Shit!

"It is also unlikely that the subject is not a member of the family of darkness. There must have been a few of them known to the Demon King's men."

"Is it possible that the demons that originally lived in the back of the woods evolved by chance like Gresha and drove the Greshas away?

"... you can't say you don't. That's exactly what Gresha would have said if he had been kicked out by the demons that originally inhabited him..."

Coincidence. Just coincidence. It could be a very bad coincidence. As far as I'm concerned, I just pray for that, but I can't fail to act, and I can't help arguing right now.

Proceed through the woods while crushing what gets in the way. Sometimes while checking the map and sometimes having Amelia check Fujido's location. Fortunately, although it was the demons that appeared many times, they were demons of the fitness of the land and did not become obstacles.

Fujido's ability to detect signs is still low. I decided to walk about a kilometer from Fujido. At this distance, even without Amelia's help, general signs can be perceived.

Are you tired of your first march in a long time, and the Fujido guys are slowing down a little bit. Sometimes they seem to put in a break of about a dozen minutes.

Humans have better physical abilities than men, and women tend to excel in their magical qualities. Regardless of Aria, a melee position, or Fujido, a man, Limis, a demon mentor, is quite low in health. You have to skip your fatigue with the sacrament (Holy Play). The limit will come soon. Even the level can be covered to some extent, but the level of remiss is 17, the weakest in their party.

The Fujido movement stops again, and we stop to fit in with it.

I kept my back in the tree as Amelia breathed slightly rougher.

"... you're blunt"

"I have no choice. Even if you don't take part in the fight, if you keep walking, you'll get tired."

It's not about being a lady or anything, this is what all hunters go through.

On the contrary, I would say that Amelia, who shouldn't be used to it but can walk in the woods for hours without throwing up one weak sound, is quite rare.

Releasing the water bottle, Amelia caught it in a panic but well.

He looks at me like Amelia's flashing as she takes the cap off.

"... Mr. Ares, what about fatigue?

"My body is sturdy, and I'm used to it"

Even so, it doesn't mean I'm not tired. I can just put up with fatigue.

But to this extent, it is not particularly problematic.

Whether fatigue has reached its peak, there are no signs that the Vines will move.

Open the map of the forest (map) from the bag that was lowering to your hips. The direction of Fujido and the others, there is a water field ahead. Soon the sun will set. If you don't march at night, you'll most likely set up a camp there. There's no possibility of leaving the woods now, but they should also know it's not a very good hand given the fatigue.

Hopefully I'd like to pull it up before Gregorio comes in......

"Any word from Gresha?

"... you seem hungry..."

Ask Amelia, but the answers she returns are not at all the same from earlier.

He can't use it. Sounds like you'll need to convince me again later.

§§§

After all, Fujido and the others decided to take the camp.

Wait for the Vines to stop, and we'll fix the bunk too. Slightly open a little over a kilometer from Fujido's campsite. Unlike the Fujido, who can use a magical carriage, this one has to be camped out with hassle. If it's raining, you'd better set up a tent, but fortunately, the weather is good, and you won't have a problem sleeping on the ground.

There are signs of Fujido and Aria entering the woods to hunt for their prey.

Only Remis and Gresha were left in the camp. The world hasn't even been set up yet, it's an unexpected thing.

I silently took a bottle of holy water out of my backpack, smashed it on the ground, and adjusted it to fit into the range of the Fujido camp. We should have let ourselves do it, but the situation is the situation. You can't let your health be wasted because of a time of need.

My role is to support the Demon King's Crusade of the Vines.

Turn to Amelia, who was avoiding branches and stones that fell to the ground.

"I'll do the night watch."

"Uh... no."

Strongly say to Amelia, who opens her mouth to try to argue.

I'm not being merciful. This is the right material. I need to be as efficient as possible in reducing costs and achieving a lot of results.

"There's no need to worry. I don't have to sleep overnight or two to have a problem. Ask Amelia to use exploratory magic again tomorrow. You should rest today."

……

"At this distance, I can see that the situation is in my hands, and Amelia will use magic at night when she does her watch. I have a problem with not being able to use it when I have to, this way."

The restoration of magic is much greater in dormancy than in activity, and we can't let sacraments use it for nothing more than nothing to restore magic.

Look Amelia in the eye. He was pretending to be calm, but his appearance showed obvious fatigue compared to the usual.

Level 55. Levels are a big indicator, but not without other elements. It's not like experience doesn't help at all. She has answered my request well, but she is still brittle when compared to the Hunter of Demons of Hunting.

I guess you understand that fact correctly, your own state. I nodded like Amelia gave up.

"... ok.... wake me up if anything happens along the way"

"Oh."

Even if you don't tell me, I'm not going to forgive you when the time comes.

The sun set almost at the same time as the camp was ready. The forest is surrounded by dark darkness and signs of demons become active.

You should leave as little evidence as possible. Fill your hunger with biscuit-shaped portable food. There are no signs of demons in the vicinity because we have established a bond. I hope Fujido and Amelia can recover some strength......

In the woods it was definitely different than usual, but so far, I see no major anomalies.

Amelia, who had been awake until earlier, closed her eyes to the back of the tree and rowed a relaxing ship. I can't be alarmed, but the Fujido won't leave the campsite at night either.

In the end, nothing happened today... my hardened arms, my legs stretched out, where I was loosening up - a big sign caught on my senses.

Face up, stare across the trees, into the darkness. Concentrate your senses. Sharpen your five senses.

I'm there. I can't see it, but I'm definitely there. Lick your lips at the signs of a demon stroking your skin.

Eyebrows and stand up slowly. It is not a sign of the family of darkness. But it's not even a sign of the little things that appear around here. Clear your ears, but you can't hear the kind of ringing. It's just that the book of the night is down and it's only a little quieter in the woods where I started bothering.

The distance is still far. It's just my area of detection. I don't know what demons showed up at this distance, what kind or anything. However, it was fortunate that the signs came from the back of the forest. Fujido and the others won't run into each other before me.

See Amelia in her sleep quietly as she sits down.

Reminds me of what Amelia said earlier. I don't know the details, but the signs of the enemy are smaller than expected. You should be able to kill one.

Lurk your voice as much as possible and wake Amelia.

"Amelia."

"... mmm..."

A slightly glossy voice raised Amelia's half lid open once she wandered.

I can kill him alone. I can kill you, but Amelia's job is my support. Poor thing, but just in case you think about it, you can't let it go to sleep.

"The big guy came out. Crusade now. Connect communications. Report the situation as appropriate."

"... ugh!?... Yes. Okay."

I am not a member of the Dark Family. Exorcism doesn't make sense. I don't know if this is the intended person, but I would have struggled if I had left it to Helios alone. Especially if you try it on me.

Amelia, awakened from her sleep, rises fluttered. Stop it with your hands flat.

"Amelia doesn't have to come. Stand by here in case you have to."

"Huh...?

"I'm enough on my own. This is an order as a supervisor. There are other roles for Amelia. Do you understand?"

In the unlikely event that I lose, she has the role of informing the Fujido people about the situation and letting them get away with it at all costs. There is no good chance that the escape will succeed......

To my words, Amelia distorts the root of her eyebrows and listens with a slightly trembling voice.

"Am I a foot wrapper?

"You're not. This is just a difference in roles. Amelia searches, I hit her. That's Amelia's support."

Answer immediately.

It's not a bad idea to let them fight if the opponent is an exorcist effective opponent, but the demon that just showed up would be pretty bad for the opponent.

To my word, Amelia bit my lip.

"Me too... I can fight"

……

It's not whether we can fight. You don't have to fight. If I needed her help, I wouldn't hesitate to borrow her.

How can I persuade you? Thinking looking at Amelia's expression,

"... but this time I will follow Mr. Ares's orders. Because I'm not here to bother Mr. Ares."

"... helpful"

Then say so from the beginning, I swallowed the word. I just have to get used to her personality.

We're not getting any closer in a straight line, but the signs are getting a little closer here. Careful steps as if to peek at signs around. There is no sound. Signs are also faint. I don't even smell it because I'm on the wind. Lift the mace and stroke the thorns through the numerous beasts. Signs of battle. That alone builds strength in my arms.

Amelia accidentally stretched her back and touched my head flat. The flat palm emits a strong light, tearing the darkness apart for a while.

Sacred Arts (Holy Play). Intermediate - third tier aid (buffs) can be hung. I feel my physical abilities increase dramatically.

"I was wondering if I should save my divine power."

"... oh"

Immediately let go of the body, so twitchy Amelia.

If possible, it would have been better if the Fujido and the others had kept it for when something happened, but would it also be wild to give it back to them that way in favor?

Leave the backpack. It won't be that long.

"Then I'm going. Keep the call connected. Report the situation as appropriate. Problem?"

"Naturally, no"

"Let me know if anything happens to Fujido. Problem?"

"Of course not."

Has magic recovered?

The complexion is also better than before the break. Well, it's just a story of suppose I wipe out no problem where communications are interrupted along the way.

Shake the mace gently two or three times to confirm addition or subtraction. There is no fatigue. I don't feel bad either. Even if their opponents were Demons, they would be able to fight enough. I asked Amelia to loosen her cheeks slightly, as if she were joking.

"If it doesn't seem possible, please come back for a run. I'm in trouble when Mr. Ares dies. Problem?"

"... None"

No problem. There's no way I'm gonna lose.

Irrespective of whether you are in non-combatant positions (Priest) or not, there is no way you can lose. I've fought more than I can count. I have some experience of defeat, but I've beaten everything in the end.

Does Amelia know? Am I listening? I know. I'm aware of it. Of all the monks (Priest), why I was chosen to support Fujido.

§§§

The signs are getting stronger and stronger.

The senses were sharpened above this. Even if the other guy hid the signs from me now, I would have figured it out.

There was no cloud in the sky. The light of the moon illuminates the forest. The trees of the forest lit by thin light are like shadows.

It was in the middle of it.

A monster that shines like the sun.

A beast with a dark orange body on a red lotus hyena. Its body emits a strong light in itself, and the darkness around it is completely removed and bright as day.

The total length is two meters. Fangs on silver shining hook claws. A strong flame is burning at its tail, igniting the surrounding grass to turn a strip into scorched earth.

It was a lion. Red lion.

At the moment I admitted I felt like I was dreaming. About that, it was an unexpected warcraft. Hundreds of meters away, it's as if you can smell the blazing flames.

Blink your eyes two or three degrees and take a slow, deep breath. And I checked that again and sighed deeply.

Make sure the communication is connected and report it to Amelia.

"... was a kind of Lion (Flame Lion) system"

'... Huh?

I'm not saying it because I want to, like, say it.

After a lot of silence, Amelia listens back. It would be an incredible sight if I hadn't actually seen it.

'... Did you just say flame? Is that going to be in the Vale Forest?

"... there's no way you're leaving. It's on fire, huh?

If such a thing lived, the woods would burn round in no time.

This kind of thing lives near the fire escape or something.

I've seen it, I've fought it.

Warcraft with special abilities have a high crusade aptitude level overall. The lion (Flame Lion) is, as its name suggests, a warcraft with the power of fire. High physical ability and ferocity, flames in wisdom. The aptitude crusade level is - 65.

A burning tail stretched out of his ass casually touches a tree, turning raw trees that should be hard to burn into pine lights in an instant. Awesome smoke climbs high in the sky.

"... who brought this to this place..."

It is not a demon that occurs naturally in the Vale Forest.

I haven't wanted to escape from a nightmarish sight in a long time, regardless of my strong weakness, etc.

The Demons are still better off with this.
