Episode 32: Arena - Demon Match
Manticore knew because he saw it when he came to the arena. But I didn't know you even had a Cyclops and an Auga. A demon so strong that every demon has to give up surviving if it's not above A-rank if it's an adventurer.
Demons who obey the orders of the Jorges Chamber of Commerce in great measure, and whose collars are filled as common to all three.
The collar of the submissive demon.
It's something that can be filled with demons that people can follow, just like slaves, but there are two kinds of collars of submissive demons.
One is a collar to show the surroundings that it is a tuned demon. Something like an accessory that has no special effect. Without this, no matter how many disciplined demons can enter the town. But if you feel cramped, you can only equip it when you enter town.
Another collar enclosed with special powers that make demons obey. This collar-filled demon will be planted with the will to obey his master's orders. If you try to force defiance, your collar will tighten and you will experience pain.
It's this special obedient collar, but it can be so valuable. First of all, it has to be made of a hard material that can strangle the demon, and the magic effect to make it obey orders is special, so it's hard to make.
The opponents are Manticore, Cyclops and Auga.
None of them are demons like I miss humans. It is definitely the collar of a special person on the neck.
"Do you know what it's like to have three of these demons at the same time?
A normal opponent can surely kill a battle force.
"Kill."
Chairman Jorges gives a short order.
Three demons pop up in unison.
The spectators who were in the audience boil down to the sight.
It's an unusual thing I don't plan to do, but I think it would be satisfying for them if they could see me ravaged by demons.
Manticore that runs to the ground and reaches me first.
When you jump and dodge, you use your back to jump up.
He hits me with a wooden stick that Cyclops had, aimed at where I was in the air. I use my sword to jump over as I recieve a stick.
A slow-footed orga approached there with both hands extended. A large hole in the ground is made by a hand that is knocked down from the top.
"He seemed like a bunch of people confident in power, but what he said was little girl. There's no way to make our prized demons before them."
"Well, how about that?
"What..."
Dorjut, standing next to Chairman Jorges, watches the game as the two of us converse.
"Become...!
Ground submerged by an Auga attack. Next to it I stood.
But Chairman Jorges is not surprised that I was able to avoid the Auga attack. Auga was attacking a slightly sideways sloppy spot from his front. It's obvious from anyone that you should attack the front. The attack had been shifted by the intervention of others.
It's not hard to deviate from even a powerful august attack as long as you have the chance to see it firmly.
"What are you doing!?
Three demons are just staring and alert and they don't try to move.
Chairman Jorges, who boiled his business to the situation, is screaming.
"You don't want to hurt me as much as you can."
Even they are forced to obey.
The family of the Lord of the Labyrinth, who still manages the demons. I can absorb as much as the demon feels.
I was sick and tired of the situation being forced to fight.
"I'll set you free now."
Thanks to what I saw up close, I already figured it out.
Release three sharp slashes. The aim is the collar of the devil.
"Hey!?
The collar that was filled with demons is made to cut at the same time.
Even if I could slash the collar with a sword because it's in a delicate place called the neck, I'd have to slash it carefully. If I slash it a little deeper, I'll slash it to the neck, and if it's shallow, I can't free it from the collar.
"Dude...... do you know what will happen if you do that!?
Dorjut is in a panic.
What action is the demon freed from the collar of the submissive demon in?
"Naturally, you don't want to be attacked by someone you've been forced to order."
In this case, anger will be directed against Chairman Jorges, who had given unreasonable orders many times.
Of course, Chairman Jorges must know about that.
But I can't see a rush to escape even in front of a demon who should be free.
"Kuku, there's no way you're letting me just follow that collar"
"I see."
Even if the collar is destroyed, the demon's gaze remains directed at me. But the intent to kill and hostility is being directed somewhere else.
"Why didn't you think about me being entrusted with the slave trader?
"Because [slave magic] can be used."
Melissa tells me the right answer in her reading.
[Slave Magic] is a special magic that can give the opponent the same effect as a special submissive collar. I don't even need tools. This magical opponent has to swear obedience to the opponent. Nevertheless, it is magical, so if it is highly resistant, it can be rendered powerless.
It's easy to disarm. You can defeat the operator.
"I'm sorry. I have trouble getting this guy down."
"So you stayed here."
Dorjut next door is the escort of Chairman Jorges.
"That's right. If there's an escort--"
"I can buy you a few seconds of time. It's up to this guy to get away in the meantime."
"Become, what are you talking about!? Why are you saying things like losing to a little girl to that extent!?
"If you fight, you're sure to lose. If you know what I mean, I'll tell you from the beginning."
There is a quarrel between those who escort and those who are escorted.
Clearly, I'm not interested.
"I'll set you free now."
"Hih!?
Chairman Jorges, who mistakenly mistook the word - 'kill himself' - to be free, is completely frightened.
"Have a little patience."
My [clear mirror water stop] is a skill that sharpens my mind so that I can definitely slash what I can 'slash'.
Skills are not only visible.
If you can sharpen your senses and capture them - slash the bodies of the orga, cyclops, and manticore.
Absolutely slash what can be slashed.
If you care about it, you can do it without slashing it even if the sword passes, except what you want to slash.
There is no blood flowing at all from the demons that should have been slashed.
"If you know there is, you can capture it."
Turn around exhaled.
The demons who should have been slaughtered by me are turning their enemies towards Chairman Jorges without turning to me.
This time it is definitely liberating.
"Duh, why not! What did you do!?
"My fellow magicians told me. [Slave Magic] needs to let the person you subordinate engrave something called 'I am your master'"
Otherwise, you can have a doll that listens to anyone's orders.
So, it is the surgeon's blood that is used. It can be engraved into the subject's body as master by using magic and at the same time giving him blood.
I slashed the power that was making me recognize him as my husband.
[Slave Magic] is valid for the demons today, but no one has a husband.
In essence, it's no different than being free.
"You know what you did!
My eyes are full of hostility.
There is no doubt that Chairman Jorges will be attacked from now on.
And the next time I was to be attacked, the people I enjoyed being made into spectators - the audience.
The demons can't help but attack humans.
"I suggest you run away without being here forever."
"Eh -"
One of the spectators, who was in the audience closest to the private room where Chairman Jorges is located, is crushed by the hand of an orga without screaming.
An audience wearing the blood that erupted when it was crushed.
The audience was just stunned at the moment of being crushed.
The moment they saw death, the audience fled in unison.
"You can't do this."
"Hey, where are you going!?
"The demons are after you. I can't handle three of those demons. So let me get away with it."
"Wait!"
Chairman Jorges tries to chase Dorjut with his back turned.
But a jumping manticore lands in front of the two of us and gets stuck.
"... are you serious"
"These guys are clever. I'm sure you understand you were involved in the game too."
"Shit, I'm in trouble."
Dorjut confronts Manticore with a weapon. But I can't feel the temper to take him down. Probably going to look for a way to escape while fighting.
"Well, now I guess I could get some flashy attention"
My role is to keep Melissa moving easily by drawing attention.
Thanks to you, Melissa will get the job done...
'I'm afraid I got flashy attention, but I'm done with what I need to do. So you don't need to draw any more attention'
"Huh..."
There's a limit to the attention I can get when I'm alone.
So I freed them to help the demons, too, but it was futile.
'No, it's no problem because it's easier for the lords to move because the basement was confusing. Let's withdraw.'
"I'll retrieve the tradas before I withdraw them."
