Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 263: Skulls
Seyya's figure was in the heart of the Dacrya Empire. Only the capital, which unites the seven districts, has an exceptionally good population and development of the town compared to other districts. Besides, you said the Demon King's Council was close, and the city seemed busier than usual with stalls and such.
"The Demon King's Conference brings together the Demon King and his neighbors, as well as other famous adventurers. Some come from afar to see the famous place, and the merchants who are targeting them open their stores."
It has the name Luna, the Spirit of the Night, who explains to guide you next to Seyya, and is Rona, the sister of Seyya. They had finished their studies for the day and rolled out to the city.
"Will the adventurers get together, too?
"Even so. The Adventurers will be guarded as mercenaries hired by each Demon King."
"Guard? Oh, you mean those guys trying to be demon kings on this opportune occasion"
It was Seiya who questioned why she needed security, but soon gives her own answer. The other day, the Dream King, one of the demon kings, was murdered by the hand of Mikokabrera and had just taken the name of Asmodeus.
Indeed, the opportunity for the Demon Kings, usually dotted in the districts, to gather in one place would be an unparalleled opportunity for those targeting the Demon King's throne. Besides, there are more opportunities to prepare carefully in the Dacrea Empire than to do things in the respective autonomous communities, which can also be called the Gardens of the Demons.
Even so, for the most part, it ends in failure.
"Then why is Asmodeus dead? There was no guard?
"I don't know the details, but he probably used Operation"
"Operation"?
Seiya has a surprising look on her unfamiliar words.
"Some demon kings move in multiple groups. Doing so will deceive the enemy's eyes and get them to their destination quickly. Well, if you look at the number of women (stomach) you have with you in the case of Asmodeus, it's easy to tell if that's the main team."
Rona is right, some demon kings travel in multiple groups like Asmodeus. If you put it well, you can disperse enemy forces, but if you put it badly, you disperse your own. However, given the strength of the Demon King himself, there is also the notion that the operation is safer. The fact is that Daldar was traveling alone.
"The Demon King is in trouble, too."
"What's the guy who's going to be the Great Demon King saying"
Speaking amicably in the crowd, its appearance was like a sister and brother. And nobody realizes who the two are the next Great Demon King and the Spirit of the Night Luna. Is that why it happened?
"Come on, kid, I've got a pretty sister."
"Hiu, you shouldn't."
"Do it, with milk!
"This is gonna be fun."
Four men show up to surround Seyya and Rona. He grins disgustingly with Nitanita as he looks around to taste Rona next to Saiya. They seem adventurous by their very nature. But not famous adventurers like the demon kings hire, but rather trinkets. Still seems quite powerful.
"Hey, look, they're Skulls, aren't they?"
"Those B-rank adventurers"
"It's a five-man group that's been working on it lately."
"You have the guts to fly a flag in this capital."
"On the contrary, I've never seen that boy, but he's an adventurer?
Thanks to the adventurers known as Skulls intertwining with the Seyyas in the middle of the boulevard, the Seyyas become the object of the attention of the passers-by. But no one tries to see the Saiyas the way they see them. The people there just wanted to see how it looked from a distance.
"Boy, are you an adventurer? Rank?"
One of the Skulls talks in a high-pressure attitude toward Seyya. Seyya said for a moment, "What rank was there? thought," but soon reminds me that I am a D-rank adventurer.
(Speaking of which, you took the exam with D'Arta...)
It's an event that seems like a long time ago, but it's actually recent. I've had so much intense experience since I became an adventurer that I can't help but forget.
"Hey, hey, cuz you're asking!
"Don't ignore me!
"Oh, that was rank. It's a" D. "
"" "" Bu, bu ha ha ha ha "" "
Skulls listening to Seyya's ranks and laughing out at the same time. Apparently the fact that Seiya is a D-rank adventurer is interesting to them.
"D-rank, could you possibly be the countryman who came to fly a flag?
"Go home and suck on your mom's milk!
"This is not the place to come!
"Yes, yes!
countryman. Indeed, Seyya, from Leiria, may be a countryman for Dacrya humans. But I don't even think they know about it, so Seiya thinks it would just be a bad word.
"Well, I guess so"
Seiya, who has a lot of similar experiences somewhere, runs cluttered without exposing her anger in particular. I know perfectly well that the raw one of these hands is useless just to deal with.
"Go, Rona"
"Yes, I am."
The two tried to leave the Skulls alone and keep going, but the two who were in front of them stood up to block the direction the Sayers were going. And one of them in the rear tries to grab Rona's arm. But I could never reach it.
"Don't touch it, you bastard."
Long before the man's hand touched Rona, a voice containing Rona's freezing gaze and disgust from the bottom of her heart stopped the man from moving. Rona didn't mean to use any particular magic or fighting, but I guess the man unconsciously felt an overwhelming difference between Rona and himself. It's rattling and trembling, and it collapses right off my knees.
"Oh, my God, what did you do!
You can lose it.
Another guy tried to pack it up on Rona, but he still just throws up the words and the guy gets rattled and shivering, too. But somehow it also seemed like the man's face was happily saying haha, but Rona decides she didn't see it.
The adventurers ahead, who understood that something had been done by Rona, try to threaten Sayya by sticking a knife up. That seems to be trying to get the crushed ments back rather than the earliest numbs. Perhaps they thought Seiya was weaker than Rona.
But that was their mistake.
"" Become... "
At the next moment, the men lose their word that the knife they were holding instantly vanished. That's more a surprise from where the magic of the dark attribute was exercised than the knife disappeared. They panic and look around, but there is no trace of anyone using magic as one.
They knew magic could not be chanted and exercised. But I didn't even know I could skip the magic formation. Only some powerful magicians can exercise their magic without deploying their magic formations, because they are not of the same character as the magicians they have met. Not to mention I don't even think I can do that to a D-rank adventurer in front of me.
"You have company somewhere!
"You're cowardly!
Which mouth says. Everyone on the spot thought so, but there was still no one to say anything about this rub.
"I don't have a choice."
Shortly after Saiya snaps like she's in trouble, the consciousness of the two people who were making a peppy noise until earlier flies. It is, of course, due to Seyya's fighting spirit. Even so, if they say it's a substitute enough to call it a struggle, maybe not.
Thus, on this day, rumors arose among the people of the mysterious D-rank adventurer and the beauty who was concerned about S, who defeated the B-rank adventurers without doing anything.
