From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)

Old Swordsman Challenging Demon King

A messenger came from the central city gram of the group of urban states.

Moreover, the person is Edgar Midoterias, king of the kingdom of Midterrier.

The system is tantamount to collapse, but there is no way Cedric Garburg, his subordinate, could have left the king wandering more than he is surviving as a 'country'.

I sent a pick-up soldier, ready to do everything I could.

Under the moonless starry sky, outside the castle gate, greet them in formal attire with the nobles of hindsight.

Edgar showed up from a luxurious boxcarriage guarded by soldiers armed around him. The carriage leans to too much weight and flutters down to the red carpet.

Focusing on Cedric, everyone fell on one knee at a time and drooped their necks.

(Exactly, though the Virgin, do you know the courtesy)

Tiaris was kneeling behind Cedric's oblique back.

"All the way, welcome. I am Cedric Garburg, the current owner of Garburg Castle."

"It's been a long time, Sir Galburg. Looks like he grew up to be a fine knight."

"Ha. I have an extra word of honor for you. Your Majesty is in a good mood."

"Uhm. Everybody raise your faces."

The expressions of kingdom officials, including Cedric, are complex.

Though we worked with the enemy countries to cross the Great River while keeping politics stagnant and deprived of the King's Capital for three years, when that asylum disappeared, we turned ourselves to a force that was virtually independent of the Kingdom and took no action whatsoever.

Nevertheless, Edgar's behavior, which still tries to preserve the dignity of the king, is sufficient to remember anger and anger, and it also breeds a clown of ridicule.

Most of all, only one person on this occasion looked at him with envy and respect.

"If so, is it the Virgin Tiaris?

"Yes, I will see you first, King Edgar"

"I'm listening to your efforts to establish a unified state. I'm impressed with the rest, and it depends on my visit to help."

"Well! If you help King Edgar destroy the Land of Demons for the first time in history, you will not be happier than this"

There is no lie or falsehood in an innocent grin.

Edgar nodded satisfactorily, looking at her.

(Uhm, what a beautiful daughter!

As everyone dressed up, she looked as armored as the knights of the escort. It's a sign of determination that you're always throwing yourself into battle except when you go to bed.

(Status, preparedness, and unclean mind are all noble. Nooo......, it's a shame to give it to Cedric's kid)

The thought of adopting him and letting him marry the Virgin to be the hindsight of the two disappeared beautifully.

(Whatever the difference in years, the Virgin is only worthy of the rest. If that purity, never again...)

For him, who continued to be betrayed by the woman he loved, the Virgin looked so dazzled that her direct vision could be seen.

Make sure it's a thing.

When I decided so to my heart, Tiaris said something unintelligible.

"Well done to King Edgar, you're safe... It wouldn't have been easy to get out."

"Escape... what?

"Now, across the Great River, we have been invaded by demons, and we have heard that many people are in distress."

Cedric hurries to pinch his mouth.

"Dear Tiaris, that is uncertain information…"

Rather, it's just a story she fantasized about on her own.

What Cedric and the others have is information that an alliance or close relationship has been peacefully formed.

Edgar's crooked laughter blocked Tiaris from trying to say something.

"Kuha, ha. The demons invaded you, didn't they? I didn't expect such a Yotai story to pass right across the Great River."

The cold breeze slips through.

Edgar trembled.

"Such a place is not suitable for stand-up. Sir Galburg, let me show you inside the castle. Let's talk on the road."

"Thank you very much for your patience. Immediately..."

Cedric breathes as he half-baked and tried to pave the way.

Tiaris advanced in front of Edgar, pushing him away.

"King Edgar, would you like to tell us more about the situation on the other side of the Great River?

Cedric freezes to a thin grin.

Edgar shrugged his eyebrows in surprise, but eventually decided to come with a generous attitude towards the girl to be turned into a thing, breaking up his friendship.

"Oh, I hope so. What, it's not that difficult. Cities are pretty exhausted when the Empire crushes one city. Foolishly rely on the demons to rebuild it."

The grin disappeared from Tiaris. But Edgar doesn't notice anything strange.

"Again, they have no power against the great currents. That's where he begged for an intermediary to be allowed to participate in a united state. I can't help it if I have to. That's how I got my feet."

That's not all, Edgar continues to rap.

"The demons all wanted to join a united nation. I think they finally set fire to their asses after being driven to the end."

Crouched laughter echoes in the cold sky.

Below Cedric, those in line had their faces drawn.

"... well, I get it"

"What, I'll answer that question whenever I want. Well, there's a lot going on in there."

Edgar walked over and tried to place his hand gently on her shoulder.

- Kneel.

"Noooo!?"

Both knees fell on the enchanting beauty.

"Dear Tiaris! You understand what you've done!

Even as Cedric tried to pack it, Tiaris glanced at Edgar and turned back on his heel.

"I didn't expect you to kneel the country's iconic king!

"It's an insult to the kingdom itself!

"No matter how many Virgins you can't see!

Even as the surroundings make noise as you walk,

"Shut up."

A heavy word made no one speak.

Tiaris vacates his distance and faces Edgar again.

"We will begin heretical interrogation (...) with this. From this moment on, I am the proxy of God the Father. King Edgar Midoterias, answer my question without falsehood."

Rather than a 'penance' that repents of sins of the past, it is heretical interrogation that takes place against the blasphemy Holy Tribute now in progress - especially against the only one suspected of falling into a different faith from the divine faith.

Edgar was disturbed by the devil, and Tiaris decided that he was defiant of faith.

"That's pathetic. It's hard to believe that such a masterpiece as yours is bewildered by demons… but let us not hold personal affections and dwell on their sins."

The Virgin asks quietly.

"Edgar Midoterias, who did this to you?

"Yu, brave man, Galius......"

"Huh!?... What did he tell you?

Edgar gave details of what has happened since he reunited with Gallius.

"That's a stale phantom. I can't believe I easily believe the void portrayed by the demon beast..."

"Even then, if you actually look, you'll see. I didn't think that was an illusion. It is so clear that those who see it have lived and moved..."

"So the other side of the Great River accepts demons, not only those who govern, but even the people?

"Think of it that way."

Edgar screws around in a cramped position close to crawling on all fours.

"In other words, what wonder? The people" We "won. Sometimes the loser succumbs to his heart and triumphs over the winner. The rest of the glory must have reached them and been revamped!

I looked up at the Virgin with a pulled grin.

"Of course not a good believer right now. We have to monitor it for at least a hundred years. So let's accept the rest. If you want to join a united nation, you just have to sit on the last seat and use it!

You just have to push the conclusion on future generations of kings.

Edgar thought so from the bottom of his mind (...).

- Big crime.

But his words touched the reverse scales of the Virgin. No, I disgraced the backbone of faith.

"Ma, wait -"

Cedric, who could only watch, tries to escape the curse and speak out.

There.

"Nothing more, Master Tiaris"

An old swordsman stood before the Virgin.

"Danio, even if you disagree with my verdict?

"The referee has come down. I have no objection to your decision. but it is not necessary to punish us, the Patriarchate."

Edgar will be judged by the people of this country, not far from him, for his decadence.

"The country has national laws. If we are to achieve the same end, it is also up to the proxy to consider what impact it will have on the world. Assuming the king is permitted by law, then it is best to follow the proper course of action to hand over the king's personality to the Patriarchate."

Alternatively, Danio thinks that after establishing a united nation, we should judge the king again on a patriarchal initiative.

"The only thing left to be done on this occasion is to leave a source of evil. Don't forget the papal ministry."

Staggered gaze for a while.

It was the Virgin Tiaris who leaked her exhale first and lowered her eyes.

Palms of both and mumble a passage of the classics.

Cedric and all the men of the castle were relieved. The Virgin is trying to calm her mind by the way.

Yes, I thought about it.

"Dear Tiaris! Please don't!

Danio changed his blood phase and went into a stop, the next moment.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Edgar's body was engulfed in red flames.

"Now pray. You wash away your filthy thoughts and beg God for forgiveness."

"Oh, hey, burn, ru, the rest, burn, ru..."

The magic Tiaris has done is not as hot as it looks. It's something that burns itself carefully.

There would have been time for prayer. Enough to revamp.

"Heh... ahh"

But Edgar couldn't stand the fear of being burned, and lost his life too casually in shock.

The giant body falls and the scorching smell of flesh and fat is shed into the wind.

"Poor...... Wasn't Yingjie, a rare generation, saved by being enchanted by demons?"

In cold words, the surroundings stood in colour. Because the Virgin has lifted the effect of the Grace Gift.

Danio tows them with his gaze.

The Virgin on the other said pale.

"Danio, do you think I am unprepared for anything and have cut off the king?

"Dear Tiaris, what...?

She began to disarm herself, putting her hands on silver armor. shah, shah, and armor falls to the ground. Where his upper body was only in white skin, he spread his hands and turned to Cedric and the others.

"I have cut off King Edgar in the name of God. If that's going to touch your laws, you're free to do so. I will not escape or hide."

The Virgin speaks with pleasure as she sings, not relying on grace Gifts.

"My wish is only one. It is the construction of a world in which people live without straying into faith and in gratitude to God. We'll split up in the Great River. Don't forgive that side. We come together in one on this side, and we destroy the demons thoroughly. If God says to give ourselves for it, let us give this life, even our souls."

Cloudless eyes, dirty voices, and barometric pressure.

A gaze gathered from around him and Cedric finally opened his mouth.

"Heh, you can't leave His Majesty's body like that. Your treatment must also be discussed with the Horsemen, so please wait in the room for a moment…"

"I understand. Now, if you'll excuse me."

As Tiaris gracefully proceeded to walk, the way opened to fear for her.

This is where Danio realizes he's out of control.

(Shit! demons lurking in distant windings, are dwindling)

I knew Slime had been following me long after the Imperial Territory Tourus. I left it to explore their purpose, but it's clear from Edgar's story that it's 'surveillance' and 'intelligence-gathering'.

Magic that records real-world scenes and later reflects them.

The whole time now, they know.

(Sir Galburg and others would just like to process it exclusively with the kingdom nobles...)

It will be only a matter of time before the crimes of the Virgin are known to the Empire and other nations and to the level of the general citizen.

Danio glanced at the burnt meat mass.

(Did you set this up too?)

The Virgin picked up the armor she had stripped off, and, chasing her back, gave her the name small.

- Brave man, Gallius!

That night, I was escorted to Tiaris' room.

In the dim darkness, Danio looks down at her to sleep.

(Stupid daughter. There would have been a better way)

I can't stand around cunningly because I'm tied to faith even without shallow experience.

I can't sympathize. I don't even want to.

I've been her escort since Tiaris was born. He knows.

More than once, she had a choice.

Nevertheless, he gave everything to faith and renounced to think for himself.

Cedric and the others will have a lot of trouble handling her.

Conclusions are made, but decisions are still ahead of us.

But...

(The man, don't wait)

He will show up with the Holy Sword in his other hand, with the great nickname of slaying the king.

(No, but that means I can do the swordsman's thing too)

Old-fashioned short body. I don't spare my life or anything.

Danio is rather pleased that hope has been created for the rest of his life just to protect a foolish woman drowned in faith.

Intelligence says the holy weapon is not yet complete, but the brave are still strong.

A rare and supremely beneficial opportunity for him and a single horseman who has exhausted his death.

"Let me do what I want when I'm scattered."

Dropping a crush on the Virgin, Danio pulled out the two great swords he carried.

Hold them, drop your hips and close your eyes.

(Even so, you're an unusual man. brave, but living with the subhuman "..." etc.)

But maybe that's what people are supposed to look like.

Danio shook his head to the side.

Miscellaneous creates stray and blunts the sword.

Faith abandoned itself like a disease.

Now I just wanted to have the best fight as a swordsman -.
