From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)

Behind the woods on the side of the town of Boulder.

Gallius came to the point of poking open. From a large cave on a chopped cliff, a giant wolf emerges.

It is the Spirit Beast Lunatea, with a long horn on its head. He lay down in front of Gallius, who sat horseshit on the ground, moving his eyes slightly.

"Hmm. What is an evil spirit?"

Gallius nodded and threw the long branch in his hand backwards.

"An evil spirit is a collection of malice. An unspecified number of negative feelings have gathered together and are individually oriented. There again malice attaches to it and grows, eventually committing harm '

"I can't really pin my emotions together physically."

A long branch descends beside the tease, and Gallius throws it backwards again.

"Malice is the totality of negative emotions such as jealousy, jealousy, envy, hatred, and aversion. They are often intertwined with magic (...). They are usually born and disappear, but strong negative emotions remain in the world even when they are away from us. You might think that the magic gave you a slight entity."

"When it comes together, will it materialize more prominently and become an evil spirit? But why are there so many in the End of the Forest? I've never seen evil spirits in the kingdom..."

'Everyone has malice. Man, subman, even beast. Indeed, in quantity, people are overwhelmed. Number or quality. "

A long branch came down in front of me.

'The reason why malice gathers at its end is nothing more than the structure of the world. It passes through the earth's pulse, or is carried by the wind to reach it and hit the Great Mountains. The terrain is not the only cause, but malice gathers all over the continent anyway.'

Gallius returned with a long branch, this time throwing it further afield.

By the way, what are you doing?

One voice with Wong behind his back. A huge shadow chasing branches as a delight.

Lunatea and similar Unicorn Fenrill caught branches in the air. Joyfully brave to come back and give Gallius a branch.

"Because Ao was about to get bored. We were talking to each other."

'Mm-hmm. I know that. I know, but we're serious right now, and somehow, the...'

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

"Why do they hate me this way when I am formerly half my body..."

"You don't think I hate you, do you? I'm just angry that they're interrupting my play."

'Oh, well. My body has grown but I am still a child. But I'm restless, and I want you to be patient'

"That's why, Ao. Stay with me for a while."

Ao lay down behind Gallius all the time, 'I don't know what else to do,' and slid his head next to him. also stroke the mundane, close your eyes to feel comfortable.

"As far as I can tell, the majority of malice and doings seem to flow from the realm of the people. Does the growing number of evil spirits these days have anything to do with the troubles in the kingdom?

"Run Ri. This was true in the battle between man and subman, but warfare is prone to generate negative emotions'

"If so, preventing the influx of malice is the most effective hand to reduce evil spirits"

Confusion within the kingdom will still persist. If they come together from all over the continent, it's useless to think about what to do with people.

"If you can make it easier, you've already done it"

"But you used to lock up evil spiritual beasts in the junction. Back to the evil spirits away from the beast, he couldn't go out."

'A small bond would be possible for me. But if it's the whole endless forest, how much magic will it take... It takes a great deal of magic to maintain it. "

"Exactly the whole thing won't work, but if I can bounce it back to some extent, it seems to work quite well"

The majority of malice comes from the realm of the people. I want to push some on them.

"Uhm. Nothing that flows in the wind can prevent it. The ground pulse can identify the location and block it, but only malice must be played. Other than that, something beneficial will flow. '

And Lunatea sighs.

"The number of veins that lead to the end will reach 10,000. If we were to establish and maintain a bond for each and every one, we would still need considerable magic at all times. I still don't think it's realistic."

Gallius thinks as he strokes Ao's head.

Even in the way we deal with it after it has occurred, as before, some efficiency would be possible if we created a trap with dedicated weapons.

But when it comes to dramatically reducing the load, there is a question mark.

Even if we strain the junction as much as possible and maintain it, we still need magic. If someone obeys you exclusively, it won't lead to the elimination of the shortage of manpower.

(Magic... Magic, huh? Yeah, it's worth a try)

Gallius flashed a measure. Raise your hips and tell Lunatea.

"One thing, will you do me a favor"

"If that's what I can do, let's work together."

Explaining his thoughts to the risen LUNATHEA, the Spirit Beast squeezed his eyes.

'... are you serious?

"Oh, I mean it. If you can't, I'll think of my next hand. That's why. I'll be back tomorrow, so get ready."

Umm broke up with Lunatea, who nodded, and rode Ao back to the capital -.

The next day, when Gallius visited the habitat of Lunatea, she had already left the cave and waited.

'I found a good one. Over here.'

The greeting is there, too, and Lunatea goes deep into the woods. Gallius followed Ao with him.

About thirty minutes down the road without a path, Lunatea stopped walking.

"Just to the right of the big tree in the front. Can you see that? '

Gallius stares.

After putting a wrinkle between her eyebrows for a while and concentrating, she felt like she was wearing a black jaw.

"Is that the evil spirit? It's harder to tell as thinner blur than what I've seen before."

'Cause it's new born, but yeah, it's not very magical. If you have as much magic as an elf, you can see clearly'

"I'm less than human. So, are you gonna do me any more harm?

'No. My self will be budding, but now I'm at a stage where I'm focusing solely on my own growth. Nevertheless, it is dangerous to stay in strange places'

Evil spirits are not only possessed by beasts and ravaged.

If it accumulates in mountain veins, it causes collapse, and if it grows in water sources, it can turn it into poisonous water, he said. Evil spirits sometimes cause natural disasters as well.

"Now it's locked up in my small union. No more growth. It would be safe out there... '

From beside what I'm saying, Gallius slowly approached the black jaw.

I waved the black spear in my hand (...) and stabbed him without hesitation. Focus on mental strength and activate special effects.

I didn't respond.

But the black plume spreads purposefully for a moment.

"Okay, we're out."

Thin trunks grew countless from pierced areas.

The thin trunk gathered together and wrapped a black jaw. Ultimately he settled into a sphere about a meter in diameter, not a tree's heel.

"Oh my goodness. You surprised me. There are many gaps, but they completely shut the evil spirits inside. Is that in itself a bond?"

I was worried that the spirited evil spirits would not escape the gap, but apparently they ended up worried.

I still think Kella's favor "Gifts" out of there is troublesome.

"Well, that's as far as you'd expect. And then can you suck out the magic from now on, and how much do you have? That's validation."

Other unexpected circumstances must be taken into account and great care must be taken in handling them.

"If we use this guy well, we can crush any number of inflow routes from the ground vein"

Reducing the occurrence of evil spirits reduces the burden on the beasts who protect the forest and creates profound symbiotic relationships.

Development of magic equipment that plays only evil spirits.

There is also a difficulty in productivity because there is only one Demon Tree spear.

There are a number of problems to solve, but if you succeed in the prototype, another expectation will be inflated as well.

"Anyway, evil spirits are born there. I'm not dreaming of building a massive magic supply."

Earlier Gallius had Ao roll the treed sphere and take it back to the capital -
