From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)

The forest at its end is vast. Inside it there are terrain everywhere that cannot be called 'forest'.

Wetlands adjacent to the lake. Sleek hilly area. Mountain area with muddy soil.

A rocky zone stretched southeast of the endless forest, close to the Great Mountains. It's an odd terrain dotted with little springs.

Gallius confronts a giant beast.

No, I even doubt I could call that 'beast'.

A body big enough to look up. The body of Ethereal Silver is like a rock. The calves were close to people, but the short legs and long arms were more than unbalanced.

Put the cobwebs on the ground and come closer as you walk on all fours.

Golem species, the Mithrill Golem that reigns at its top.

"Is Omae Gallius, King of Limullesta"

"That's right. And you are Tyros, the spiritual beast that unites this area."

"I don't know. I'm Tyros, the guardian of the Kami Door of the Divine Age." I know why you've been asking me. But let me ask you something just in case. What do you want?

A roaring rage.

Gallius took the intimidation that shook up the air head-on. He said something strange but put it aside and tell.

"I'm here to explain the results of that field test on magic equipment that suppresses the development of evil spirits"

"I'll tell you first."

Both eyes glow demonically like the minerals of Mithril Golem.

"I'm retarded. So explain it as briefly as' If you don't eat, you'll be hungry '!

He said it with great seriousness, and Gallius was often relieved.

(That's suddenly the highest difficulty...)

Tyros is the epitome of a spiritual beast who does not good at interfering with the earth's pulse.

If I can persuade him, it will be easier to persuade the other spiritual beasts who don't think well.

You may be able to speak up for yourself 'retarded'.

but if you persuaded him in a sincere manner, no other spiritual beast would be silent. If the spiritual beast in favor of Gallius's plan returns his palm with suspicion, it cannot be taken back.

Gallius removed the holy sword of his hips from his belt by sheath. Put your hips down on the ground and lay down on the side.

"What kind of money is that?

"No, I thought I'd sit back and talk to you. I want you to start by telling me what you're worried about."

"Isn't that what Omae does?

"I don't want to talk to you unilaterally. I want to have a dialogue. You disagree because you're worried about the way we do things. Then it would be a good idea to allay that concern."

'Hmmm...... I don't know, okay. Listen to me. "

Tyros speaks out to squash (although the air doesn't actually vibrate).

"It's a strange story for me to say without blood, but a vein is the blood flow of the earth. Interference there will precipitate the blood, and sooner or later it will call for the death of the earth. That's why I disagree!

His claims were not novel. The opposition is largely like this, and it is just repetitive.

The Golem species is different from normal demons.

There is no blood through it, as he himself prefaced, and he has no flesh body. Instead of eating flora and fauna, therefore, he lived inhaling the magic flowing through the veins of the earth.

That's a strange thing.

It was only recently that Gallius learned that fact.

There are a few golems in the kingdom, and Gallius has fought. But the ecology was engulfed in mystery, so I was surprised to hear 'suck and live the magic of the earth veins'.

If we try them, interference in the terrain is directly linked to the dead and alive problem.

"But once you accepted our plan. Why is that?

"Harmonization. If many of the other spiritual beasts turned to agree, it wouldn't even start if I wasted it. but I heard that the attempt failed. Then we can't let it go any further!

Failure occurred in the early days of the field test. After the middle, there was nothing I could call a failure.

But I guess it's unforgivable for Tyros to have had a problem once.

It is only natural that anger and anxiety will arise because there is a slight chance that the source of the meal will be turned down.

(Meals, huh? Speaking of which -)

When I told him about the ecology of the Golem, there was another surprise.

They say they also eat the malice that flows through the earth's veins and the evil spirits it gathers. I want the magic involved in them, but because of it.

He told me to explain it as briefly as' If you eat rice, you'll be hungry '.

If...

"Our attempts will also lead to the removal of impurities from your diet."

Tyros solidified without being slight. Eventually slightly tilt the small neck.

"Uh, I mean, if there's less malice from the terrain, your meals will be delicious..."

"What? Is that true?

"What we're trying to do is reduce the malice that flows into the ground vein. Yes, I think I explained it first...?

"I don't know. Omae and the others only understood to jerk off the ground pulse, '

"Oh well..."

I don't know who the one who explained to Tyros before, but I'm not willing to blame him. Because I must have explained it cordially. But it didn't tell him correctly, I guess.

Gallius explains this from scratch. The questions were accepted everywhere using shattered expressions.

"I see. I understand."

Tiredness came down on my shoulders. If you still understand, you're good. Yes, while I was at ease.

"Then stand up. And lay down your sword. '

"... what?

In an unusual atmosphere, Gallius laid his hands on the Holy Sword.

"I understood Omae's story. but I don't know if that's the truth. So fight me and let me prove that Omae is right. '

"What you're saying is fucked up."

'I thought I told you. I'm retarded. I don't have the power to spot the truth either. So twist it down with force and let him admit it. "

"Reject. Power is the idea of justice is dangerous. It doesn't make sense."

"Then let me teach you the truth."

Tyros' mineral-smudged eyes sparkled. The tone changes.

"I will guard the temple of Ilua." Show me your power, O man with the symbol of the Gods.

A giant bush struck the earth. Giant bodies thrust in tremendous momentum.

Gallius pulled out the holy sword and placed it on his middle waist.

No more questions asked.

I don't think I can get this word.

Then for one thing, I had to hold it down with force.

Tyros' body brings light. Hardening magic. Even the hardest misrillic body on earth has been further strengthened.

(The power of the Holy Sword would also allow you to slash...)

Then I could kill you. Even if it doesn't lead to death, it will cause great wounds.

Gallius kicked the ground. The wind rises gently, flickering the fierce rush.

I struck down the holy sword that swung up on the upper stage, at a different moment.

I didn't slash it. I punched him in the stomach. Let your mental strength flow.

Dogon, and.

Following the roar, Tyros collapsed at the front. Momentum scrapes the ground with his face.

Gallius descended quietly. Turn around and speak to the ramming golem.

"Are you all right?

'... my body is paralyzed and I can't move. It's my loss. "

It seems conscious and frustrating. He temporarily lost control of his body's freedom because he flushed the effects of light magic.

'Let's admit it. You can do whatever Omae wants.'

"I'm afraid not."

"Why?

"This could be misinterpreted as something I'd say with strength."

Though I feared it could be an obstacle in persuading other spiritual beasts.

'Don't worry. Guys, I know my personality very well'

"I hope so..."

Even if that convinces me, I don't seem to interpret it...

(Including other spiritual beasts, persuasion is another time in advance, right)

"Speaking of which," Gallius cuts out while Tyros recovers.

"What is' Temple of Illua '? You said it was the Guardian."

Then also ask what the symbol "Servant" of the Divine Age is.

"Hmm? I was built as a gatekeeper, guardian of the doors of the Divine Age (...). The doors of the Divine Age are the entrance to the temple built by the gods of the ancient" Shame ". The mark is the Holy Sword held by Omae... it's about Holy Martial Arts to be exact '

"Just give me a minute. Just for now, a few questions have arisen…"

Gallius organizes his mind.

What Tyros spoke of as a 'temple built by the ancient gods' could be considered a ruin. Its name is apparently 'Ilua'.

Old ruins have been identified throughout the continent, including the Kingdom. When and by whom it was unknown, but precious items that could not be reproduced in modern times had been unearthed. Saint Martial Arts Elzanad was also one of the items excavated in the early days of the kingdom.

No wonder there are ruins in the endless woods that were untouched until recently.

"Are you created by someone at the time? You think that's what's ever lived?

"We golem breeds are different from the flesh and blood. It was created for the purpose of protecting the temple. I don't have any memories before I get my spiritual personality, but so will the Skeleton species. '

I didn't know why.

Skeletons are demons that depend on corpses in cemeteries and other generations, and people's common sense tells us that dead spirits were possessed. To be in the ruins, but with the golem, it was also confirmed in a completely irrelevant place.

"In the first place, what is' the gods'? There's only one man in this world, isn't there?

'Well? Is there something wrong with there being more than one God? I think it's more unnatural to be alone.'

This was again far from Gallius' common sense.

Close to spiritual belief, is it another religious view?

'If you have any doubts, just open the door and look inside. I can't guarantee it, but there may be something.'

"I don't know, hey..."

"Omae, who defeated my guardian, is qualified. He's got a mark on him. Door opens'

"Is this the key?

Gallius turns his suspicious eye to the Holy Sword. People's necks grew all the time.

"I have no consciousness, but it is no wonder that the vessel is holy."

"You won't have to bother putting your head out"

The sight of a raw head coming out of the belly of a sword is disgusting. I wouldn't dare.

"So, Gallius, are you going to do it with the door of the Divine Age?

"If you're going, I'll show you around."

It's been a strange stream, Gallius thinks.

There was much I wanted to do and needed to do by winter.

But if all the excavated ruins remain untouched in the realm of men, there is no harm in exploring them. No, rather than losing money, I would have loved to explore it because of the possibility of getting holy muscle class items and dark crystal class materials.

"Right. Just look at it."

I can't explore at this stage, but I want to see if the door opens.

"Then get on my back."

Did you get paralyzed, Tyros gets up? When I grabbed Gallius and carried him without saying whether or not, he ran out at the same speed as the earlier progression -.

About an hour. Gallius clinging desperately to Mithril Golem's back, finally arrived at the place of destination.

Flirting up was the cliff.

Looking at the front, I didn't see anything like a door.

Tyros comes forward. I started crushing. It's not a voice that sounds directly in my head, it's actually shaking the air and emitting sounds. but I can't grasp its contents. It was a word I had never even heard of.

On my spine, I run a chill that I can't even get out of.

I broke my knee, but put a lot of effort into my lower abdomen. So many different signs came from the front.

The wall brings light.

A magic formation of about ten metres in diameter was born in the centre, and various magic formations, large and small, appeared around it as well.

Eventually an equally huge door appeared as it emerged from a huge magic formation.

Heavy doors, coloured like dull iron. But the atmosphere it creates contains divinity. The unfamiliar characters and even the characters were depicted, soaking the demonic light.

'That's all I can do. I don't know how to open it.'

What irresponsibility, but no trouble sticking.

Gallius slowly approached the door and touched his hand. Not cold, not hot. I can't feel something called temperature. On the contrary, it could not be perceived as hard or soft.

But I'm definitely touching it.

Because when I activated [Item Master], the details of the door came to my head.

"I see. It does seem that Holy Martial Arts acts as a key"

That's good.

However, another condition had been specified to open this door.

Fortunately, the terms have already been fulfilled.

But that was enough to confuse Gallius.

"Why? How could such a condition..."

Only to the people, conditions that cannot be fulfilled.

If you're not over twelve, the door won't open.

It's about having a specific benefit, Gifts.

Whether reaching the rainbow eye or the master class, those who fail to meet the conditions exist enough to sweep and throw away. No, perhaps in modern times, no one, except one (...), fits the conditions.

[ITEM MASTER] - Only those who possess the beneficent "Gift" will lift up the sacred relic "..." at the door.

- Open it.

I just think so. The next moment.

Heavy doors began to open, trembling the earth...
