In response to news from the Holy Capital, the borders of the Republic of Colden were packed with holy knights and armed crowds from all over the country.

The only bridge that connects the Republic of Colden to the realm of the Demon King is the Cervantes Bridge, this single bridge.

- You can't take away the Virgin and return the Congratulations and the Demon King like this.

Human beings who had not seen the death fight in the square relied only on the news that the Demon King was wounded.

The Demon King also bleeds.

If you're going to bleed, you can't be defeated.

- The Demon King is not invincible!

This fact supported the crowd.

Whatever sacrifice you make, take back the Virgin.

In the republic of Colden, a religious state, people's beliefs were naturally also serious.

This news also reached the garrison at the foot of the Demon King's Land.

"They're packing it across the bridge with wasabi."

"... does that mean if you hit it badly, the Demon King will go through here"

The captain laid his finger on every man.

The Virgin was taken.

Naturally, there's no way I'm not stopping you.

………………

I don't think we can do something about the Demon King ourselves that the Great Cleric and the Holy Knight did not enemies.

But the mission is the mission.

"Everybody out and stand by."

The captain also went outside with a spear.

"Don't be strangely cold today..."

The wind blowing from the north was as cold as licking the ice.

………………

What comes to mind in the captain's chest is that mysterious beauty with those green eyes.

She said she was going to the Sacred Capital.

From what I hear, in the Sacred Capital, where the Demon King has ravaged, there has been a lot of damage.

"... will she be all right"

That's how the captain shrugged and exhaled warming his fingertips with spears.

Meanwhile, on the part of the Republic of Colden.

"Transmission! Transmission!"

A scourge on horseback appeared to the holy knights, who wandered.

A soldier who was sneaking up on Keith.

He screamed as far as his voice could reach.

"The Demon King is gone! After I left our country!

Upset runs to the Saints and the crowd.

"What do you mean!? You think he swimmed across the river!?

The Carson River, which separates the Republic of Colden from the realm of the Demon King, is a wide rapidity.

I don't think it's so easy to cross the river as to say Demon King.

The scouts scream.

"No... no... there was another bridge!!

"Such an idiot...... ugh!?

Far north of Cervantes Bridge.

There was a bridge of white glowing ice, consolidated by Keith's [freezing breath].

When the crowd hurried to pack it there, the bridge made a noise in front of him and collapsed.

………………

……

Keith held Marie back and finally returned to Demon King's Castle.

Ascend the stairs and stand at the entrance.

There...

Summoner Deanna in a black piece.

Black Magic Mentor (Dark Mage) Alleyra in a purple perfect dress.

Musketeer (Gunslinger) Victor in a worn black coat.

The three of them were kneeling on the cold floor and drooling deep like this.

It was Deanna, led by the Four Heavens King, who opened her mouth.

"Demon King, we are all waiting for you to return."

Poor voice echoed the entrance.

"You used to protect the castle, thank you for your hard work"

"Thank you for your words, your emotions are endless"

Deanna looked up and saw Keith.

Keith has a deep cut on his cheek.

The cloak of pitch-black is not a blob, but the clothes inside are worn out.

In his pants and in his stomach, the seeping blood was hardening.

"Demon King, you look badly injured! Treat me as soon as you can!

"I appreciate it, but I need to ask you something first. Ginlow."

"Ha."

Ginroe, who was holding back, moved forward.

"I'm sorry I just left, but I want [the crown of chills] back to the north. We don't have much time."

"I'm in awe, now, if you'll excuse me."

When Ginroe received the [crown of cold thoroughness] from Keith, he grew a wheel from his arm and left Demon King's Castle scraping the floor.

"Aleira."

"Ha!"

Aleira looks up, too.

"Demon King, I have to [heel] soon!

"Oh, I'd like to ask for that too, but she's the one I'd like to ask for"

Deanna distracted me and rang my fingers.

Zuzuzuzuzuzuzu - and a wheeled bed emerges from the dark.

Keith put Marie to bed there.

"He was wearing a [crown of cold]. I removed it but can't regain consciousness. I need you to see Marie."

"I'm in awe! But before that, it's [heels] [heels]!

A soft green light gushed out of Aleira's wand, with large eyeballs embedded, wrapping Keith's body.

The pain disappears from my feet, from my stomach, from my cheeks.

"... thanks, I'm racking up"

As Keith rubbed his own cheek, a chunk of blood fell.

"Demon King, there's a scar! Why!?"

On Keith's cheek, there were scratches running diagonally.

That the Holy Magic of the Great Cleric was so deadly an attack on the Demon King.

"I knew I'd stay. Well, no big deal."

"No... who... I can't forgive you. No!!

Alleyra stepped on the group too.

Keith answers with a laugh.

"Well don't say that. He's praying to God in hell by now."

"Demon King......"

Deanna stood up.

Usually on white cheeks like pottery, Zhu gives it away.

"The Demon King was injured because, as a subordinate, it is truly intolerable..."

He pointed his purple eyes upwards as he poked him with his fingertips.

"The wounds on your face are increasingly... fascinating... in my eyes..."

"That's the... thank you, can I say... well, anyway, Alleyra. How's Marie?

Aleira had a rare eyebrow root and was peeking into Marie's face with red eyes.

"It's a pretty difficult symptom... I can't tell anything by looking at it. Can I scrutinize you in my room? Because I won't scratch it!

"Oh...... do that"

Marie is on the bed, lying like a doll.

………………

Smooth white cheeks, red little chills, black-eyed eyes that tend to lose light.

It's really beautiful.

Keith took an oath.

- Use any means, but definitely regain Marie's consciousness.

………………

"The Demon King appears in the Holy City!

Kill the high priest and his men, kidnap the Virgin!

This amazing incident instantly ran across the continent.

The Republic of Colden, which has marked and suffered direct damage to the Antidemonic King since its inception, stained the entire country with the monochrome of the Antidemonic King.

Even within this country, which has national relations with the Kingdom of Tristram, the two countries of the Republic of Astran and the Demon King, public opinion of the Demon King's exclusion grows stronger.

- Erdsterk Castle, the centre of the Republic of Astland.

"Opposition to national intercourse with the Demon King," "Don't betray man" and "Retrieve the Virgin"......

General Alzfight had his head troubled by the voices of the crowd gathered across the walls.

"You can't leave them alone forever."

Looking out the window, the deputy said.

"We are the new government. If you lose popular support, it's a boat that flips easily."

"Oh, besides the military regime. If governments pass their will, nations are not silent. If you do badly, you could be treated like a faction that conquered Astran. Then it could even be a spark of war."

General Alzfight stroked his bald head up with his palms.

The deputy closes the curtain and looks at the general.

"General, do you include the demonic kingdoms in the“ nations ”you just said?

"Right there. That's the hardest part..."

The Republic of Astran was once again in a state of distress.

- Tristrum Kingdom Centre, Tristrum Castle.

On behalf of the King, who is no longer useful, it is the Vice King Goldrew Borderline Uncle who holds his head at his desk.

"Why are you being quiet in this situation... why are you taking the Virgin... I don't know what the demon king thinks!

It was no exaggeration to say that the Kingdom of Tristrum had built a thick trading line with the Demonic Kingdom and was no longer dependent there.

Whatever the pressures in each country, they are not opponents who are out of touch with each other.

The king said to Uncle Goldrew Borderline, eating pudding at the table beside him.

"I don't know if the Demon King likes the Virgin. I thought you took her home because you liked her."

"You must be...... oh, you must be!

Goldlewf Borderline Uncle shakes his gray hair.

The king stood up a spoon and tilted his neck.

"Are you a little upset? I think I'd like something sweet in that case. I'll even ask you for a pudding for Goldrew's share."

"Thanks for that!

Goldrewf Borderline uncle fixed his messy hair with his hands.

"Anyway, it's about asking. It's about grasping intent. Otherwise, I can't move."

Goldlewf Border Uncle spread parchment (scroll) on his desk and dipped his pen in an ink kettle.
