From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)

Demon King encounters intruder

White vision opens abruptly.

His eyesight quickly recovered as he was enveloped in blinding light.

The collapsed wall is right there. Was the floor almost peeled off or rough and decomposed? The ceiling has fallen off and cloudy weather is spreading.

It's the right place to call ruin.

(Naturally it looks somewhat familiar...)

Gallius first gently stroked the head of the person who wouldn't let go by clinging to his arm.

"It's all right now, Lilia"

The elf girl, who was tightening her eyes all the time, said, "Huh?" He opened his eyes with a distracted voice, and looked at Gallius' face and appeased.

but when I look around for a moment, I often scream out loud.

"Where are you!?"

Probably the ruins of Ibidilia.

"Where is it!?"

"It's a relic I explored during my valiant years."

"What?.................................... Ha! Really? Of" Under Attack "in" Metastasis, "Ibidilia"... "

Lilianea would have been so confused, she seemed to have calmed down and drawn the situation. I've just dived the training ground a bunch of times, switching fast.

"What do you mean, we're in the realm of the kingdom now?

"You're an empire, to be exact. Reports indicate that the Empire should still have occupied the area."

Either way, Gallius says.

"What needs to be done is clear. Just like where we were earlier, this ruin... or the temple should have a room like the control room in the deepest part. Find it and register your master and you will be able to return to the Temple of Ilua."

"Oh well. You just have to transfer it the same way."

Gallius nods.

"But where is the control room here?

"Almost certainly somewhere in this hall (...)"

hall? and Lilianea tilted her neck and looked around.

It's hard to tell by the collapsed walls and piles of debris, but they have themselves in the corner of the big hall.

"Before, when I explored this temple, I arrived in the hall where the big trap Trap was set."

If you moved to the deepest part of the ruins, this must be the closest place to the control room.

At the time, I didn't fit the conditions on my own to activate some trick without activating the trap.

"Report to the Royal Army. That's where my role ended. but given the circumstances, the Royal Army couldn't seem to get to the control room."

"You're lucky. Is it okay for both of us to meet that condition now?

"You can't."

Gallius responds instantly.

"Before the 'we have' part, we are no longer in a situation where the conditions can be met. It's obvious from the tragedy here."

In the Temple of Ilua, a certain person sat in the chair provided and needed steps to destroy another chair.

Similar conditions exist here, but the equivalent of a 'chair' in the Temple of Ilua has been lost.

"Yeah... so we can't go into the control room?

If you can't transfer, you have to go back to the end of the forest on your own.

"In the worst case scenario, force a hole in the floor with the Holy Sword This. From what I've seen, if there's a hidden room, I can't think of anything but underground."

Gallius goes on to say "but" to Lilianea, who is relieved.

"I don't want to do that if I can. If you drill a hole, the control room will remain exposed. You can fill it in later, but if there's a proper procedure, I want to prioritize you."

"But you can't do that regular procedure, can you?

"I don't think the people who built the temple predicted these things. Isn't there something else?

Unfortunately, the 'function' in the hall had stopped and even Gallius could not read what to do.

I just have to walk around the neighborhood and look for some tips.

"So let's see what we have."

Check gear and items for two.

We didn't envisage a fight, but just in case, we were both equipped with weapons. Gallius is Holy Sword and Sylphide Dagger. Lilianea had Salamander Dagger.

"The exposed lanterns don't seem to have much to use. I don't even forgive my recovery pills."

"I naturally don't have food or water..."

"That's because there's a forest nearby, so we'll be able to source it. If we don't find the proper procedure in a few days, we'll give up and dig the floor."

The policy was decided, and Gallius pulled out the Holy Sword.

"That's why. I want you to tell everyone about our situation."

A beautiful woman only gives her neck out.

'Yeah, I don't mind. You two look like you're having fun on your honeymoon, let me reassure you'

It's a thorny way of saying it. That's what they don't like about being used instead of communication magic. But even if I pointed it out, it would just be a fluke, so I just said "please" back.

"Heh heh, now relax"

The mouth is grinning, but the jito-eyed Elzanad pulls his neck.

"Can't we just get along anymore?

"I don't care about that, but it seems to be held in a lot of roots. Well, let's check around Sukoshi."

Take Lilianea, and Gallius walks out.

Go inside with bad feet.

The walls, of course, but the ceilings are mostly bright because they fall out. Cloudy weather, but it's daytime now.

"Was this temple filled with a lot of demon stones, too?

"Oh, it was the demon stone of water. The scale was smaller than the Temple of Ilua, but a considerable amount would have been picked up."

If you think of the temple of Ibidilia when it was alive, the blue and white light was engulfing it from the floor and ceiling. That's probably why there are so many walls left.

The kingdom also consumes considerable amounts of demonic stones because of its large population. I remember the King's Capital becoming a festival at the time.

"Has it been picked out yet?

"I guess. That's why it doesn't necessarily mean that nobody steps in - Eh! Lilia, stop."

Stepping forward to shelter Lilianea, Gallius laid his hands on the sword pattern.

Forward, at the end of the road, which was formerly the hallway.

Adult-sized viscous bodies emerged sliding from the shadow of a collapsed wall. The other side of the clear blue body looks faintly transparent.

"It's slime. Speaking of which, they were the ones protecting this place."

If Gallius had been a brave man, he would have been slashed the moment he saw him. But he didn't move without pulling his sword out.

"Blue, wow. I don't think you recognize this one as an enemy."

Slime species are basic, blue or water-colored. But when you're alert, you wear yellow, and if you change to redness, they attack you.

Brave times presupposed defeating, attacking while blue to take the lead. but if you are not evil spirited, I want to avoid fighting as much as possible.

Slime showed his full body before stopping moving. I'm not sure where I'm looking or if I have vision in the first place, but I feel like I'm defining this one.

and the color of the slime changed. The blue fades and turns yellow.

(We are intruders of the temple now. Can't you miss it......)

Though prepared, Slime began to move away from the Gallius.

The body is stirred, and as it drifts, it turns red.

"I wonder what that means...?

"I don't know"

Did I miss this one because I made a master registration at the Temple of Ilua? If so, it will be considerably easier when attacking other temples.

(Perhaps the temple has simply been destroyed and has lost its meaning to treat intruders)

That, and why did you move in an offensive position?

Gallius thought about it for a while.

Let's go after him.

I followed the slime while keeping the distance constant -.

The temple of Ilua was hidden in a labyrinth on the twelve levels.

The opposing Temple of Ibidilia had countless large rocks all over it, forming a maze to inhibit the intruder's whereabouts.

The big rock is really troublesome and moves like a creature to change the maze's heel. If I tried to jump over it, the trap activated. Then the slime hits me from above the rock and I can't get out of my mind.

A large number of soldiers and adventurers were driven to death at the time.

By the way, Gallius attacked the ruins of Ibidilia in the rough business of breaking large rocks and going around.

As a result, most of the big rocks outside are now crushed and have stopped functioning.

The Royal Army had later maintained its path to the Temple, so a wide road to the forest could be made.

In the middle of the road, there are those who fight the slime.

Is it an adventurer? To swordsmen and heavy warriors, men in clerics' clothes, and women in robes, some miserable women carried large baggage. It's a party of five.

(Was there still an intruder? I don't know if it's an arm test, but you're in the way)

They'll be the ones who got their hands on it first. So it is believed that the Slimes got angry and attacked.

Gallius winded up with Lilianea and approached them to avoid the adventurers noticing. In some cases, I'm going to lend a hand to Slime and repel them.

Watching how things are at a distance that does not fall on the slime's guard net.

It was the adventurers who were being held back from going to a dozen slimes but were fighting in their favor. I deal with it sparingly, except that a lady who seems to have luggage is hiding in a big rock fragment.

It will be only a matter of time before the slimes are driven away.

But there...

"Oh, my God!

Leaders and swordsmen scream.

Slurring, a giant slime came from the back of the temple. It's a large slime nearly seven meters high.

(Slime King)

Gallius once defeated him, but he seemed to be resurrected.

When he shows up, Slime King flies a piece of his body small. Countless viscous bodies gained arrow-like momentum, hitting the adventurers avoiding the slime of their countrymen.

Gallius takes a slight distance holding Lilianea.

Meanwhile, the adventurers built a huge magic barrier with heavy warriors out front. The other three gather behind heavy warriors. A man in clergy clothes layers a magic fence to make it more robust.

The circular walls are neither frightened nor frightened by the attack of Slime King.

But there was distress in the face of the Heavy Warrior. Being a cleric alone won't last that long.

"Hey Noet! What the fuck!

A swordsman flew his voice a miserable woman trembling in the shadows of a rock.

"Mm-hmm. I can't!

"I'm letting Temeer have a flying 'talisman'. Eating so many attacks won't kill you. Attract that big fat ass. Give me the guts! They're killing me instead!

"Hih!? ooh, ooh..."

Woman - Noet lowers the big load he carried and wanders inside.

"It's okay. This, as long as I have this, I don't die or do. Hey, if you put up with the pain, you'll get a lot of money, you'll get it..."

With a grin drawn to fear, crushing like every wow, Noet pulled out the scroll.

(That's...)

Gallius was stunned.

Check the contents of the scroll she opened, somehow. The magic letters and characters depicted there are not such as to prevent an attack, they have no healing effect or anything.

It was a trap-shaped 'spell' that caused a huge explosion when the signatory remembered it.

(Are you going to take that girl down, Slime King)

She's probably the daughter of a poor house. I didn't expect you to make a mess of a lot of money and make it unscrupulous.

"Lilia, you stay here."

One step faster than Gallius jumped out, Noet ran out holding the scroll. Big baggage leaves, slips through rock fragments, and rushes into the Slime King.

After all, she has not been informed of anything.

With luxurious but surprising motor nerves, he moves closer to Slime King.

Slime King stopped the attack.

She seemed less alert to her unarmed, but when approached, she finally turned to Noet. The slime is the same from everywhere, but there is something called front and back. We switched the target to Noet.

The moment the Heavy Warrior laughed.

"Woman, if you don't want to die, stay hidden there."

Gallius assaulted from the side and the heavy warrior's neck flew.

"Hey, what the hell is Temee!?"

Who of the swordsmen ignored what and waved the holy sword as the momentum stood. The head of the woman in the robe is severed from her torso.

"Oh, Temee!!"

The swordsman's two-handed sword broke in two with anger.

"Heh? Geez!

The wrists on both arms holding the sword are also severed.

Gallius paid the swordsman's foot, and when he knocked him to the ground, he stepped on his stomach, lying on his back.

"Gube!"

"Hey, stop the bleeding on him"

I tell the clergyman to stand up. The cleric seemed unable to keep up with his understanding, but applied healing magic to the swordsman. The bleeding from the wrist stops.

"Thanks for your hard work"

At the same time as you tell them chilly. Gallius unleashed a wind blade at Silfeed Dagger, and the priest's neck flew.

"Well, I want to talk to this man. I don't mean to be hostile to you guys, but what do you think?

As he stepped on the swordsman, Gallius spoke to Slime King.

Shirazu, and (probably) the giant slime facing this one, turns a bright red body into yellow. The remaining slime was also nestled in a faraway winding, turning yellow as well.

"Thank you. That woman over there... well, keep her company there."

You didn't realize that the first advice Gallius gave you was to yourself, Noet stood up for it -.
