From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)

Half-horse, half-fish spiritual beast Kelpy emerged from the hot spring water. His name is Ishke.

No tension in a pleasant tone.

'Oh, it's getting a little clammy. Atashi, I'm usually at the bottom of a cold lake or something, so I don't like it in hot water.'

The appearance of fluttering and sleeping on a large rock was still devoid of shards of tension.

"He said he would provide the material, but what exactly?" and Gallius.

'Ha-ha-ha, that's a good one. He asked me. Well, maybe it's scales or something? It's gonna be good material there, though?

I'm also frustrated by the attitude of lying perfectly on the big rock, but I'm patient there.

"Nah. Whatever! I'll come looking for 'Dark Crystal' for you!

"Become -!?"

That's right. Gallius was surprised, too.

Dark crystals are rare enough to come with super, and it is no exaggeration to say that their special effects are the finest.

Magic amplification, efficiency use, and various enhancements.

Simply incorporating the earlier shards of the nail into the iron knife there can bring out the strength and cleavage that looms into the misrills and orihalcons.

It was also used in the Silfed Dagger held by Gallius.

It is said, however, that it has such excellent effects that its existence has not been confirmed on its own in the last hundred years.

"... look, I said, do you have an idea?

"Hmmm.................. probably"

"Hey."

"At last, I thought Atashi was living in the right place, and there should be. Yeah, I'm sure there is!

This attitude of saying that you've done it and not looking at each other.

In the first place, the Dark Crystal was born at the bottom of the sea, accumulating light that reaches only slightly, but is completed over time.

Maybe you shouldn't expect it.

"So what do you want? things, services, or otherwise."

Ishke brought the horse's neck. In a turning and serious atmosphere, both Gallius and the others stiffen themselves with tension.

That's how they told me.

"Shh, I was wondering if you wanted me to get rid of the stalker..."

Moment after moment, white air dominated the area.

"Oh, does it feel like I'm pulling something off? But I'm in real trouble!

Lilianea raises her hand and asks the question. I guess there's something I think about as a woman about the year.

"Specifically, what are they doing?

'It feels like The Stalker is about to come. I persevere when I say that my athlete is at the bottom of the water, and I ask her out no matter how many times I say no.

"Invite, what?," Gallius asks.

"Well, then, Atashi is a woman, and he's a man? Isn't that what this is about?

Why questionable? It's obvious that he's hiding something, but Ishke screams out of time, trying to avoid pursuit.

'And anyway! Soytsu persisted with the scum that came later, so Atashi couldn't stay in the habitat anymore. No, really, seriously.'

"Why don't you deal with him once or so? That might satisfy you, huh?" means Lippi.

"I think I'm getting better."

'That's right! It's creepy. I don't like it!

Ishke seems sincerely disgusted.

I'm a hundred percent bad person to stick with, but I remember myself a few years ago, and Gallius felt like he couldn't resist.

"Are they the same Kelpies?

"Yeah. Another Spirit Beast"

Together, 'eh' and become true faces.

'It's a sea snake. It's very big, too. "

The endless forest is dotted with lakes and springs large and small.

One of them.

Gallius came to the great lake in the north, within half a day's reach if you ride the clo of Fei Long.

This neighborhood is out of Limullesta's range of activities, and the subhumans are out of step.

Standing on a cliff, the scent of the tide strangely tickled my nasal cavity.

(I don't think seawater... but is it salt water? If so, it is likely to really match the conditions under which dark crystals are made...)

For one thing, I lay my doubts aside and call them out loud, extraordinarily.

"My name is Gallius. People. Is Leviathan here?

A large shadow eventually rises on a lake that is quiet enough. Huge head with slight waves of lake surface and loose appearance.

I see. Similar to a sea snake. On the back of a snake-like body was a gizzard's back running.

(This is... you look the same as the sea dragon I tell you about. Is it still seawater? This lake)

The body stretched from the lake surface will only be about twenty meters high, and Gallius, who is on the cliff, will be dressed to look up.

"Is it Omae who called me? Galius...... you've heard of it. The brave men of the people who are circling other spiritual beasts."

"I'm not trying to contact you."

'Hmm, okay. What can I do for you? I'll tell you what, I'm not going to get used to it, even if I admit to coexistence with the subhumans. "

Sounds like the hardest spiritual beast I've ever met.

But I'm not even going to Gallius get used to it. I have always maintained a give-and-take, reciprocal relationship.

"Kelpy's Spirit Beast, you know Ishke?

"Mm. That lazy bastard, if you thought he was gone, you asked the Subhumans for help."

"Oh, you're more or less right. You're sticking with me, so do something about it. But I really don't have the guidelines. You were right to ask the other party what happened."

After Leviathan rounded his eyes, he laughed luxuriously.

"I'm not interfering with that lazy guy because I like him. Keep your spiritual stature, while gushing at the bottom of the lake. I didn't put up with it as the same spiritual beast, so if I said so, I'd say," Do it! I was just making a breakthrough. If we had actually met, we would have understood that laziness. '

"Uh..., I know"

'Wouldn't you?

Because I empathized, the atmosphere of the sea dragon also softened my feelings.

"But I don't know what a spiritual beast should be. Is it something that needs to be 'decent'?

"A spiritual beast is one that gains intelligence and power and keeps order in the surrounding area. I don't know when evil spirits will occur and become evil spiritual beasts and will break out. I don't even work out myself from day to day, but can I keep order? '

It reminds me of the evil spiritual beast that once fought in the woods of the town of Boulder.

I didn't think you could fight Easy Kelpy with that.

From what Leviathan and Ishke have said, we have to raise the armament to the former.

But Gallius raises a question.

"As a story in the first place, why are there two spiritual beasts in the same place?

"It was only recently that I gained my spiritual character. The lake is connected to the sea far north and underground. How long have I been lost here?"

Later, when he was elevated to the Spirit, he named himself Leviathan, and he began to speak to Ishke, who was grumpy.

(I didn't know you were connected to the ocean. then the dark crystal is also likely to be)

I apologized sincerely to Kelpie, who was not here, saying I was sorry to suspect.

Let's just say that.

This is where the breakthrough seems likely, Gallius makes the conclusion he just came up with.

"I'm not sure why you guys get spiritual qualities, but can't you think about this? Because the spiritual beasts who live in this land do not work very well, you have been promoted as a new spiritual beast responsible for maintaining order."

Cut, Leviathan opened his eyes.

"Don't be so tight. If so, do you mean it's futile to deal with that lazy... '

I let you do more than that, so I put in a word of comfort.

"I don't think that lazy guy should care anymore"

'Oh yeah......'

I was able to take the word.

Ishke's request was accomplished with this, but why do I feel like I lost something?

Stimulate your strength, even if you're going to get more and more of it as well.

"By the way, Ishke said there was a dark crystal in this lake, is it true?

'Hmm? Oh, then...'

Leviathan let his mouth grind and spit something out all the time.

A decoy and a black crystal-like mass at the feet of Gallius......

"I found it when I was investigating the bottom of the lake. Let's make a mistake with the dark crystal. That's all for now."

"Big!

So much so that I accidentally scream. It was about the size of a person's head to have even a small amount of extraordinary effect.

Leviathan laughs at it.

'That's a reward from me. To make me realize I don't have to deal with him. "

"It means..."

'Oh. There are no more dark crystals here. Ask him for another reward. Right. Peel the scales and get rid of the tarnishes and you'll get some good material, right?

That sounds so pathetic, but Gallius laughed, too, trying to get the right reward.
