From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)

Little body lined up in front of Gallius.

"Salute!

It was the youths of Wehrat who gave the salute that the Royal Army seemed to do where they remembered.

This is a mountainous area close to the endless forest. He was on his way from the realm of the people to Limullesta, arguably the front line in monitoring intruders into the country.

"Ah, thank you..."

So they waited in alignment where Gallius had descended from the sky, but the situation was not easy to drink.

"All the way, welcome, Mr. Gallius. I'm Tom, head of the surveillance team here."

Looks like an elderly man advances in and asks Gallius to shake his hand.

"Oh, well, nice to meet you..."

Though we exchanged disappointing handshakes, the situation was still not drinkable.

Tom grinned and declared well.

"Now, I'll show you. To Lord Spirit Beast Corsas!

"Oh, I see. Guidance...... Yeah, please..."

I know the destination, and I don't need any particular guidance, but it was an atmosphere I couldn't say I was.

The wearrats are more alert to their surroundings than they need to be, while chatter plays as they move around Gallius for a moment.

"I'm thrilled. I've always admired Mr. Gallius. Can I have it signed later?!?"

Arnold, I'm on a mission right now.

"Jason's right. You can't fail to be on guard."

"Easy, Sylvester. Well, Arnold doesn't seem to float much."

"Ugh, yeah, Tom. Sorry, guys."

From Gallius, tension can be relieved by the seemingly soothing exchange.

Waving about their former colleague, Stephen, the four of them have glistened their eyes and asked about recent developments.

When you go down a narrow mountain path with no tension at all, answering each question carefully.

Eventually I reached a place that opened flat.

"Oh, Mr. Gallius. You were here after all."

It was a giant griffon that greeted me casually with a voice that echoed in my head.

Spirit Beast Corsas.

He was a spiritual beast saved by Gallius where he was once imprisoned by the Emperor of the Empire. He is surrounded by griffons large and small.

"Are you used to living here?

'Thanks to you. Although the temperature is low, I like how comfortable it is to live there. "

They are from countries of the South. But the habitat had been invaded by the Empire and had lost its place to return.

So Gallius advised us to live in the endless woods, and after consulting with the other spiritual beasts, we were to have jurisdiction over this mountainous area.

Corsas looked over the sky. At the end of his gaze, a large ship floats. It's the airship Bahamut.

"I'm sorry. I know it doesn't make you feel good, but I use the array for travel in conjunction with the operational tests."

'You don't have to worry about it. I'm sorry about the experience, but I appreciate it.'

By the way, Corsas looks back.

"What can I do for you? I didn't know you were going to do anything in that vein, Ware Rat. '

"I'd like you to be present in the matter."

"To me? Do I need to be present?

"There are spiritual beasts who show difficulty, especially messing around where it hits the entrance to the end of the forest. If you see a nearby spiritual beast, they don't have to feel safe, but they think anxiety will allay them."

"I see. Am I a watchman?"

Yes, when Gallius told him, Corsas said he seemed sorry.

"But is it okay? My benefactor is distressed by you, but I can't help myself if that's the case. Let me be present in a neutral position. If something goes wrong, we have to report the danger without covering it up. '

"Of course I did. If you hide it badly, you can rub it later. There's been a problem. It's convenient."

Corsas twists his neck. It was as if a statement could also be received that a problem should arise.

"Then I'll ask you to stand with me. I plan to stay here for about a week, but in the meantime, I want to finish the investigation without delay. We have to do everything we can before winter."

Gallius laughed more, waving at the sky. The airship slowly starts moving.

"Um, can we take a tour too?

Arnold reluctantly asked.

They have a surveillance mission. But with the airship blinding its eyes in the air, it won't be a problem if it scratches.

"Oh, I don't mind."

Gallius said, the four of them rejoiced in a small leap...

Equipment was transported from the airship, where it was slightly opened in the woods at the foot of the line, and formations were made.

Care to stay out of the way, or Corsas is standing away.

The four wearrats volunteer to help. Together, they were carrying large baggage.

Large square device with metal rods in a lattice. A strange sphere tree sits at the center. It's a magic tool that buried a magic tree.

Malicious reflectors - I call them Maris Reflectors.

It spreads the signs of evil spirits in the magic tree all the way to the earth pulse, and resets the path of malice that has been hit in reverse.

Place the ground pulse directly underneath and brace the magic plate - the string stretched from the console.

"We're ready, Mr. Gallius."

Moozzo, the clan of the clan, smiled with a tired look.

"Are you all right?

"Hey, it's been a long time since I've been out there... But it's okay! For magic studies, there is no remorse, even if this body is melted into the sun!

"Oh well. Well, don't push me."

It's going to melt with passion before sunlight.

Mouzzo holds the console in one hand and manipulates the board with the other.

A magic formation appeared under the device. After a strong glow, it disappears to be sucked to the ground.

"Mmm, this is..."

Stare at the console so that the muzzo can eat in. Letters were flowing from bottom to top in large quantities at a different location from the operating part.

"What's wrong with you?

"Oh, no. There are no problems with the operation. Just like when tested in the capital, the processing is carried out successfully. You're what I expected. Just..."

Moozzo caught a glaring eye.

"That's a lot more 'malicious' than you assume. What the hell is this...?

"Did something happen in the realm of people?

"I don't know. If you're in Japan, you'll still receive information from the city group of countries a few days late."

I can't help thinking about it even though I don't have any information at all.

I tried to find out what the cause was later and ask what the current situation should be.

"It's bad, Mr. Gallius. If you go on any further..."

Maris Reflector trembled loudly as she blocked Mouzo's voice. There is a crack in the magic tree.

"No, you can't! I won't stop! We're on a rampage!

"Hi-yep!

"What is it!?"

"It's just tough. Ah!

"Everybody run!

Gallius calmly lays his hands on the sword he lays on his hips as the wearrats panic.

Moozzo, get away from me.

When I threw the console and made sure that Moozzo ran away.

Shubba!

Kicking the ground and quickly approaching, Gallius flashed his holy sword. Every lattice on the metal rod turned the magic tree into two pieces. All the evil spirits inside, the Magic Tree spreads mist.

"Is it luck or bad luck to suddenly fall into the most worrying situation... Of course it's more durable, but we need to set an upper limit below the current threshold to allow malice in excess of that amount to pass."

"Mr. Gallius...... you're calm to get here. As I said, let's review the settings."

Mouzo hid himself in the shadow of the great tree and let him peek into his face and say so.

The clothes rats stroked down their breasts ho, too, that's when.

"Mr. Gallius, give me that!

The voice of the Spirit Beast Corsas echoes in his brain. Following his gaze, a black swing was shaking over the sky.

"Big. And..."

The black jaws are becoming bigger and clearer.

- Wow, wow!

A loud sound shook up the frightening air.

"Evil Spirited!? No way, in this short time?

Following Corsas, Mouzzo screams.

"Whoa! Reflected malice repeated another malice and frontal collision, and you jumped all the way up to evil spiritualization in the ground vein at once. If the device reflected so much malice that it ran wild, the possibility was also conceived...... exactly as expected!

"It's not like I'm explaining it to you. We have to get rid of it immediately. '

Possessed by a nearby beast, it becomes an evil spiritual beast.

It's a bigger chunk than the evil spirits Gallius has encountered before. There is no guarantee that we can defeat it, as opposed to even spiritual beasts.

Is the Evil Spirit born abruptly and confused, he set his aim on the 'intelligent' who would not otherwise possess it?

"Wow!?"

"I'm coming over -!

"It's just tough. Ah!

"Help!

The evil spirits attacked the hardened and immobile clothing rats.

When evil spirits are possessed by 'intelligent men' such as men, submen and spiritual beasts, they eventually disappear without being able to take over their bodies completely. But it seems that the possessed side is not safe, either, leading to death.

Embracing each other, the four terrorized prepared to die.

Zang!

But before the evil spirit reached them, he vanished into the flash of the holy sword.

"Yes, with a blow......"

Corsas rounds his eyes.

"It would be easier if we could fly light magic. The more directly you slash, the more effective it is."

Gallius says without incident. He turned to Moozzo and gave a pale instruction.

"It hurts to lose one device, but let's think of it as a necessary expense. I need you to scrutinize the resulting data and readjust the spare equipment. I'd like to resume the exam tomorrow, if possible."

"Okay," Moozzo bows his head and goes to pick up the thrown console.

Corsas walked over to Gallius.

'I think it's a pretty serious matter, but within your assumptions, was it?

"Sort of. It was intended to occur once during the study period. It's just unexpected from the beginning. I never thought of a situation where there was so much malice."

'... you don't know. This state of affairs would make it impossible to see a spiritual beast not good enough to interfere in the ground vein. And yet, what was the intention of daring to try to wake me up?

Gallius answers as he guards his surroundings.

"Danger goes with everything. Finding it and carefully crushing it increases safety. This is my first attempt at anything. If we decide it's too dangerous, we'll call it off. It's a field test for that."

"But even if safety is ensured, if there's ever been an accident, I think they'll be solid."

"We'll have to persuade you there in good faith. Instead, if I cover it up badly, I'll buy the objection. Yeah, the story goes around. We must not be dishonest when we come later than we strive for coexistence and co-prosperity. Never."

I see, and Corsas loosened his expression.

After this, about ten days.

As a result of an extended field test of the original schedule, the usefulness and safety of Maris Reflector reached the satisfaction of Gallius and the others.

Operate some during the winter months and when it's spring it moves on a schedule to get it fully operational.

But things didn't go well.

As Corsas feared, the whole Spirit Beast 'waited' for the plan -.
