From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)

A tall tower in the desert. Sugar smoke keeps me awake and I can't see the top floor.

The remnants of "Acadia" are currently being attacked by Limullesta.

The executive forces joined the old knights Danio and Manos the Elf, Noet, who draws the blood of Auga, with the Azam of the Kayla tribe in the desert people. The four reach the twenty-fifth floor.

"Huh!

Danio's Great Sword turns Fir Ghost in two. The demon that destroyed the nucleus disappeared.

"You swept this one away. Do you want to rest?"

"I want you to do that. You're too tough."

Azam fell back on the spot.

"Even so, I don't know if we'll get to the top floor yet. No, we've never been here before."

The desert people have parted into several tribes, each aiming to attack the tower. Under the arrangement of 'following the fastest attacking tribe', each tribe was competing ahead.

"Other tribal teams would have been attacked and wiped out by evil spirited demons," Danio said.

"Oh, for sure. My people got fucked. I'm the only one alive."

"I'm sorry to hear about your friends, but I'm pretty sure we're way ahead of them."

"But I don't have until the next new moon. The other tribes should still be keeping their powerful power warm. There's a chance they'll turn back."

"That's a lot more pessimistic. We're not just building up floors, are we? No other tribe knows the existence of evil spirited demons. If you jump in there, you'll be on the same page again."

"Well, yes. I knew I was in a hurry. I can't see ahead."

It is not clear what floor the top floor of the tower is. It would be reassuring if there were any changes, but the floors were similar in construction and were not responsive.

There are those who have wondered there.

"Excuse me, may I have a word?

This is Manos, the team's operational staff. I say as I glimpse the map I'm writing down while attacking the tower.

"Weird. Comparing the maps on each floor, there are a number of floors that have exactly the same structure, rather than being similar."

Look, I spread the map on the floor.

"The twenty-fourth floor earlier is very similar to the fourteenth floor. This is the twenty-third and thirteenth floors. Plus -"

Each floor is not explored and mapped in every corner. Still, it was unnatural that the parts I wrote down were exactly the same.

"Hmm. What do you mean?" Danio twists his neck.

"Just a guess, we were going up and down sometime (...) weren't we?

Hmm? And other than Manos tilted his neck.

"So far we can say that from the twenty-first floor to this twenty-fifth floor each has the same structure as the eleventh to fifteenth floors. I mean -"

Manos tells with certainty.

"Didn't they send you back to the eleventh floor when you went up to the twenty-first floor?

The other three are breathtaking.

It was Azam who disputed it.

"No, no, no, that's a metastasis, right? Don't exaggerate it just to be a trap, huh?

"If it's a few floors away, I can do it. It's an ancient ruin. It's only natural to have that kind of trap."

Yeah, yeah. Noet nods loudly, too.

"Verification will be necessary, though. Let's run up to the thirty-first floor first. If they put you back, you'll find the stairs up there on the existing map."

Then we go down to the exit of the tower all at once. If they put you back, you should be on the twentieth floor.

"Are you serious..."

slap more and more of Azam's back slapping,

"Don't let the young one make a weak noise. Now that you've set a goal, you should be more than happy."

Danio made me laugh lavishly...

Manos's guess was halfway (...) centered.

Until the thirtieth floor there were stairs up in exactly the same place as after the eleventh floor, and the road that went through was in exactly the same position.

But turning back from the thirty-first floor, it was necessary to go down the same number of floors that had gone up exactly.

"Lord Gallius, what do you think?

Returning to the village of the Kayla tribe where Azam lives, Danio asks via Puwi.

"What, as Manos speculated. The trap just activated exactly on the way home. I thought I was going down, I was going up."

There is one trap between the twenty-first and twentieth floors. If you go up, you will be returned to the eleventh floor.

The other is between the eleventh and tenth floors. Going downstairs activates' Return to the twentieth floor, only for the amount of trap taken to the top '.

"What a mess. What are we supposed to do?

"I think there will probably be a tip and a breakthrough item by the twentieth floor. Let's find it first '

"Hmm, there's a lot of places you're missing. It's a hassle, but I don't have a choice. But you can't expect an item. I haven't fallen as one before."

'If so, there's a good chance the tips are written down. At the Ibidilia ruins, the conditions for entering the entrance door were noted. It's an old language. "

"Mm, can you read something like that?"

'No, I can't read it. I know those who can just read. If you find any strange letters, write them down exactly and let me know.'

"Okay. Let's accept."

Danio and the others immediately began exploring the tower the following morning -.

I checked every corner from the ground floor to the tenth floor and couldn't find anything, where the color of discouragement was darkening.

The Shinto-like letters were found lightly on the eleventh floor.

Danio steals Azam's eyes and sends the information through Puwi to Limullesta.

What I returned so much missing was instructions to 'stop the tower offense and return to base'.

Danio and the others follow the instructions and leave the tower.

That's how I went back to the village of Azam...

"A cup of thirst." You think it's a scratch? Phew... "

I reported to Muhammed, the elderly man of the chief.

This is what happened to the Shinto language found in the tower.

"Raise the cup of thirst. If you do, you'll be on the right path '.

"Do you have any idea?

"I don't know if I can assure you that I do, but I know if it's a strange cup that evaporates quickly and empties even when I pour water"

"Whoa. Totally futile effect, but don't feel like it matches the name. Where is it?

Muhammed made the wrinkles in his face deeper and a bitter look.

"We call it the 'Cup of Luxals'"

"Luxal...... oh, that's the name of a tribe that lives in this desert just like your lords. Hmm? What if..."

"Mm-hmm. It's a treasure the Luxals have. Not here."

"Oh my..."

I didn't know literal 'keys' attacking towers were the property of opposing tribes.

"Shortly after our ancestors were driven to the desert, a man appeared. He taught his ancestors the art of living, who had no choice but to wait for death on dry land. Eventually, his ancestors lived independently in five parts, but when the man walked away, he gave each tribe a treasure."

One of them is the 'Cup of Luxals', Muhammed said.

"The treasure itself has only a strange effect. But I didn't know one of them was needed to dominate the tower..."

"What are we gonna do?

"It's not like I don't have a hand. They still don't know the 'Cup of Luxals' is the key to the tower. If we manage to get this one before they notice, we have a chance."

"No way, do you steal?

"Worst case scenario. Most difficult to negotiate. Try to get it on good terms for them and you'll be enlightened."

Mummy and Danio put their arms together.

"Can you give me some time? I want to think of a good way."

"Hmm, what are you up to again?

"Hmm? What do you mean?

Muhammed says sighingly.

"Then I'm not just a traveler. I don't know what you're hiding and what you're doing, but I'm guessing you're asking for directions.

The face of Manos and Noet, who were present, is frightened.

But Danio laughed off lavishly.

"Ha-ha-ha! What the hell was I finding out? Well, I thought we'd have a rundown one of these days. I really don't like this hand trick."

"Is it reopened?"

"No, no, let's apologize for the disrespect. But at this stage, you must have trusted us. That's not what you mean by 'hang out with each other'?

"... you're a man who doesn't know if it's missing or sharp"

Danio bows his head in a straight face.

"Sorry. I can't tell you the details yet, but I can't let it go bad. You are our collaborators."

So Danio says floating.

"Take off your seat. Don't give me a sneak peek, okay? I'm gonna leave those two hostages there, so give me a break. What, I'll be back in an hour or so"

Danio raised his hips without waiting for his consent and went outside -.

"- That's why."

Danio reported the situation in remote communication via Puwi. Naturally, it's Gallius.

'I see. An old man named Muhammed is quite sharp. And it seems one-of-a-kind, but I feel I can trust you. Well, if you don't trust me, put it down, and analyze the situation objectively, we can assume you've moved on considerably'.

"Hmm, you still steal?

'No, then it just leaves a remorse. That's a bad idea considering you attacked the tower. Besides, when it comes to the tower's strategy, it can't be just about Luxal and Kayla. "

I mean, Gallius said one breath away.

"This time the" key "was revealed, but probably not enough. A few more... I say with certainty, each of the desert tribes should have the key '

Danio waited for Gallius to continue.

"The man who led their ancestors. treasure he entrusted to each tribe. It seems very unlikely that only one of them is needed to attack the tower. What we need must be everything '

I see, and Danio hits the knee.

'Even in that sense, this situation is very convenient. Competition started by opposing tribes can't be achieved without working together.'

Given the aftermath of the offense, Gallius reinforces his rhetoric that there is no hand in not using this situation.

"We will need difficult negotiations weaving our truths. In a way, you can call it sanity. Will you do it?

To Gallius' sincere eyes, Danio replied with a smile.

"Um, I'll take care of it. It's manos to do it. I can't afford a small difficult rush for a washi. Ha-ha-ha!

'Oh yeah...... I'll leave it up to you. "

It was Gallius, feeling just a little anxious, but believing they would do it -.
