He Didn’t Want to Be the Center of Attention, Hence, after Defeating the Demon Lord, He Became Guild Master

"And then your mother comes out in a mask. I made it for this day."

"The mask... Hello, does it have anything to do with the man in the mask?

"That's... uh, Dad."

"Nh... ah, that guy? With my sister... no, I see. I was showing you how I was thinking about my sister. You kept silent to surprise me...."

I thought you might be angry, but the reaction was the other way around. I didn't think such a foolish man would give me a sister.

"Everything was led by that man. I'd like to apologize for the rudeness once... but from my point of view, do I have to visit King Albain's capital for an official visit in the future?"

"When that happens, I think the Albains will be less and less afraid of Elsein."

"We have to try to do that. I would like to offer an alliance, not a truce, to Albain. If Albain is able to make friendship with his brother and we are his younger brother...."

--Yes, before Julius finishes.

"... gu... ah...!?

Julius had a really slight noise on his shoulder, and a metal blade was sticking out.

(--Sphere!)

Someone is attacking us. The moment I understand, I give Sphere instructions.

"Haa!

Sphere reacts instantly, swinging the small sword around his waist. The blade that flew out of the darkness was bounced and fell against one of the lined pillars.

(Banning, shoot!

Determine the direction the blade flew from the impact at the moment of the attack. Banning's "Breath of Fire" automatically tracks heated organisms - if we know the direction, we can hit them.

"Ghhhhhhhhhh!"

Along with the roar, several rays are fired from the two spheres of light that emerge from the wings of the banning - all of them flying towards the river that flows through the darkness of the cave.

"Ah... Mr Banning's bracelet is being held...!

A direct hit by the flash of fire. It was human.

I used defensive magic - no, no. For me, the flaming breath seemed 'sucked up'.

"Julius Elsein. Have you forgotten the humiliation my sister was taken from you? I'm disappointed in you."

"... who are you... how did you get in here...!?

(Were you intruding in advance... Julius, or to target us?)

"Julius, please pull out the blade to stop the bleeding with healing magic!

"Please... guh!!

Banning continues to control and while the Black Dragon is covering Julius, Sphere heals Julius' wounds with a healing light (Recover Light).

(He's... flying alone... no, those shoes. It's a magic tool that allows you to fly)

(Father, what should I do?

At this time, if you can party with everybody - no, if you can get back to me, you won't put Sphere in danger. However, as it stands, it is futile.

If the situation is communicated outside, our people will come here in some way. Otherwise, we must defeat the raiders.

(Sphere... we're going to replace you. Will you leave it to your father?)

-Yeah!

Sphere will give me control of my body. When the five senses return, you can taste a vibrant sensation that makes your body numb for a moment, but you can instantly change your mind.

"Julius, ride the Black Dragon! Keep moving, keep avoiding!

"Ah... I understand!

It seems surprising that the tone suddenly changed, but Julius moves as instructed. The enemy was aiming for the moment of riding the Black Dragon - I also thought of using the physical defense wall "Defensive Wall", but I also secured my vision in the dark, so I used Cody's trick.

― ― Light Sword (Light Blade) Light Barrage (Barrett Curtain) ―

With this poor vision, it is difficult to see the moment of throwing. However, an automated counterattack by the Swordsman can destroy invisible attacks.

"I'm not just a daughter... the color and appearance of her hair. The one called" The Forsaken People "...!

I know about the people who have been left behind. How far does he know what Sphere looks like in an instant?

I pull out the short spear, shoot down the steel blade of the enemy with the sword refinery's automatic counterattack, and hit him with Banning.

"--Ooooooooo!

The enemy pulls out the sword on his back as he yells. Not just an assassination blade - this sword is a skilled swordsman. It also exceeds the SS rank!

"Nh... you hah...!!

I know a man who can take a spear with a sword, slide it, and distract himself from the momentum of Banning's body - a trick like that.

― ― LeGuard-Valenstein. An adventurer with the nickname "Lonely Buried", who has the most "villains" in the Kingdom of Albain.

But he killed too many bad men, so he lost his place in this country. He was not hesitant to slaughter a person whom his client thought was "bad" enough to be afraid of, and he became afraid of even contacting in order to request.

Lugard, who could no longer accept requests from any individual or organization and was not affiliated with the Alliance, suddenly disappeared from King's Landing about a year ago. He was thought to be wandering the country to receive requests from people he didn't know - indeed, even my guild has some information on his sightings.

The Lugard showed up here, aiming for Julius' life. Still aiming at killing, after getting hit by our bodies, Julius relentlessly fired his blade - protected by the light barrage, Julius managed to adjust his posture after confirming that his arms could move.

"--Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Unfortunately... that dragon attack won't make sense to me."

Banning breathes a flash of fire as he cuts back, but Lugard takes it by his hand. I realize there - he's using magic tools to fly, and he's using them to get braces.

The moment I absorbed the breath of the flame, I saw it in the light. White hair on bluished skin that is scarcely vibrant. He looks like an honorable man, but his eyes are filled with deep darkness - the more he looks at it, the worse his chest gets.

Exactly, Reaper. I've been interested in how powerful he is, but this is how I actually figured it out - he's strong. Even though my vision is poor, I am showering the blade without even noticing Julius of SS rank.

"The dragon is also interesting... but the girl on board is even more interesting. Let's play before we hurt the stupid king."

I don't ride provocation. However, for the first time, I realize Sphere's weaknesses - unlike my body, I can't instantly strike out the destructive power that can be created by the synergy between muscle strength and magic enhancement.

(Dad, I'm scared... I saw his eyes, Dad, and me in the back...)

"It's okay, I'll cut through. How can you name your father if you can't protect one of your daughters?"

(... Dad, good luck. I'm watching you don't run away... and I'm definitely going to kill that guy...!

With my silver hair, I grip the short-spear pattern with Sphere's still ungrown hand.

"Brave face. A daughter with such a face screams pleasantly when she dies."

"... I thought it was the Reaper rather than the Buried One. Apparently the quality is worse."

"Be adorable and use strong words. Alvin got a lot more interesting without me."

"Aren't you just getting out of yourself? To take Ratchrist... Lugard-Valenstein!

(... did this man follow Mermaire and try to make Elsein's king suffer terribly...?

Was Mermaire swimming at Lugard, or was Mermaire following Lugard?

--Probably the former. Mermaire was doing everything she could to warn us when we entered the cave.

"That's a good girl... no, someone blew her in. Then you have to throw up whatever the person in the back is doing...!

Lugard's eyes are insane, unleashing a tremendous murder. Banning shouted bravely to rebound it.

"Ghhhhhhhh!!

"--Are you afraid to enter your pocket? He says it won't work for me in any way!

Then I will launch every attack until it passes. Even though I can't pull it out just like him, Sphere's body has eight men, including me.

Dozens of rounds of "Breath of Fire" are thrown into the Luger, allowing both hands to defend themselves. In the meantime, activate the magic of "Penetration Enhancement (Spirit Piercing)" and stick out the spear while rushing at high speed.

"--haaa!

The spear that ran toward Lugard's torso definitely stood on his body - but there was no sense that it was working.

"If it were a spear, it would have been more profound. Don't think it's" reaching "with the child's arm."

"... because I stopped being human, I guess I just didn't feel any pain. Since when?

There is no red blood on Lugard's body. Instead, it was something of a faint color that consolidated the darkness.

This response is not when you attack humans - it feels like a doll made of dirt.

"If you sip the blood of the demon clan, you will understand. The demons were born to be used by humans."

"- You!

Julius shakes through the spear in tune with the Black Dragon. At the same time as the black lightning bolt with its own magic was released, Lugard threw something in response - it was like a black liquid.

"Ha...!?

"Revenge against those who avenge me, dark spirit. Reverse Dark"

The Barrage of Light responds to attacks targeting me and Julius.

The only flaw is that it does not react when it reflects Julius' fired attack.

(Dad, he's using his own blood...!

"--Fit in between!!

― ― Light Sword (Light Blade) Light Speed Series Raid Barrett ―

Julius's bloody defensive walls are doubled to reflect Julius's unleashed attacks - knocking the blade of a light sword into it and interrupting it, reducing its power by half.

"Kh... uhh...!!

Though the lightning strikes are disruptive, Julius and the Black Dragon struggle to avoid a direct hit. But when he collapses, he immediately releases the chase blade - an impossible number to hold.

I don't know what they're going to do. Even though I had to deal with it later, I always won - because I had people who were as strong as me.

Lugard, who has forsaken his humanity, is trying to reach our realm. There are only five in the kingdom, in SSS-ranked space.

"--All you need is the blood of a good demon clan. Spread out, demon king Julius."

Julius's eyes gave up too much. In this darkness, he couldn't see a single blade - he still doesn't understand what the Lugard's attack is.

Use magic to manipulate the blade, use dark spirit magic to lurk the blade into the darkness, and perform invisible attacks. That's why Lugard dragged us into this darkness.

"--Ragna the Swordsman, we're fine! Protect Julius!

"Eh... stupid! If you do that, you'll...!

A storm of invisible blades strikes Julius - but everything is prevented by the light barrage.

― ― But what supports the power of the sword spirit is the magic that makes up Sphere himself ― Sphere's life itself.

(... ah, Father... but...)

Sphere's body starts to fade. If you keep losing your magic, Sphere...

The Luger can't even see the action of releasing the blade. I didn't know that losing my magic would degrade my ability so quickly.

I should have come here. I shouldn't have sent Sphere here.

--Regret is trying to cover your chest. Lugard was laughing at us, not Julius.

"Did you lose power to protect the powerless king? This is convenient... I'll take you home. It's no use feeding him. I'll make him serve me."

"... unfortunately, she's not going anywhere. Would you like me to take it back?"

(... Dad)

If I give up, that's it. It doesn't matter if Lugard has powers beyond his imagination.

(Turns my soul into power. Sphere... I'm sorry. It made me feel painful)

(Eh... no, Dad! If you do that, your father...!

(I won't disappear. I will defeat him... and bring him to everyone...)

--That is my Lord. You held on well....!

A voice that feels terribly nostalgic is conveyed with a reminder.

If I don't hear it again, I want to laugh at myself for a moment. The voice of the Demon King, so brave and courageous to hear.

(Mother Verlaine....!

(It's not just me. Miralka, please!

― ― Wide-area extinction type 117 Ground cracking rock extinction team ―

The darkness of darkness breaks.

The ceiling of the cave is shattered, and the rock is cut off and extinguished - and two dragon shadows float in the sky filled with too much dazzling light.

"Mother, I've come with the dragons and the children... Dick, Sphere! You're safe!

Miralka shouted. It was Master who was riding the mother dragon with her.

And it is my body that is tied to my master's back and mounted on the dragon. Miralka was trying to hold on even further from behind.

Next to that is Verlaine aboard Irina's dragon. Cody, Eileen, Yuma left us on the field and came to rescue us.

"... that man caused this collapse... apparently, the enemy is settled."

"Dear, the magic in my body has finally stabilized! I had a hard time!

(Dad, it's okay! I can hold on till Dad gets here!

"Please...!

Even if you're not conscious of anything, just wanting to "go back" attracts your consciousness to a place you've never been able to go back before.

I didn't think that my body would follow my will so sharply. Remove the string tied to the master, take care not to break the posture of the master and Miralka, and fly off the back of the mother firedragon to activate the pseudo transition.

"Demon King Crusaders... but it's too late. I've already reached my goal."

"--Isn 't that a bit too soon?

― ― Shura Shadow Sword Shifting Flash ―

"What... ah...?

"Father!

It was Lugard who pushed through the sword sperm to protect Julius and tried to target Sphere with his spare power, but I could see the movement stopped.

For the first time in a long time, my body was unfamiliar and I was prepared not to move well - but it was different. My Master kept my body constant and adjusted it tightly so that I could maintain my best condition day and night.

A flash of magically reinforcing a sword borrowed from Cody as he approached Lugard - he was cutting off Lugard's black blood flowing arm.

"Guu... ahh... it hurts... right, this is pain... I've forgotten for a long time..."

Running through the air with the help of the Wind Spirit, I landed on the banning and held Sphere in my arms.

Warm and soft - but the back of the iron mask is boneless, where you want to see your face quickly.

"I can't afford to have a match anymore... You have a lot to ask."

"... SSS-ranked adventurer. I meant to know, but I didn't know... how long I've been human, and I've never been able to win. It's not here yet."

"--Stay!

Lugard threw himself into the river under his nose - no, he chose to escape into the water because he could survive the torrents.

We can't escape like this, but we can't jump into a torrent. Verlaine summoned the "Spirit King's Scepter" into his hand and began to cast spells along the direction of the water flow.

"Wave the majestic body of water far beyond the source, chase my enemies... 'Shaker'"

Unlike the Unfilled, it is a unique underwater subpoena. Something like a giant fish shadow occurs in the water, swimming at an incredible speed while splitting the water with a crunch and back. It's not a fallen rock or anything, it's crushed by the body, and it's bouncing.

We don't know if we can catch him now, but we won't let him get away easily.

"... Dad... I'm glad... I'm glad I'm back..."

Sphere takes off his mask and buries his face in my chest. The feeling of being firmly clinging to you and being able to return to your original body spreads.

"Ah... I'm worried. Sphere my magic, and Sphere will soon be well."

"Hmm... Dad, it's warm..."

Banning slowly wings and faces the sky dazzling. When the parents and children of the Fire Dragon arrive, the dragons fly around the banning with joy.

"... I thought it was okay. Don't worry too much."

"I'd love to be safe... Master, what are you going to do now?

"Dee says you want to fight. Yeah... I wonder if you want to fly with me to the end."

Julius looks at Verlaine and looks at her in an unspeakable way. I am impressed, but it is not a situation where I can speak honestly.

Verlaine didn't spoil his brother. With the voice of seriousness, she says.

"If you succeeded the Demon King, fly with pride to the end. With my husband."

"... you... are always on your own. When I'm gone, I'm more alive than my old sister... really... always in a place I don't know..."

Julius shook his voice. The Demon King returns to a boy and faces his sister.

--Until the end, I wondered if Verlaine would laugh. But that was different.

"... you've grown stronger without me. But I can be stronger. I want you to be worthy of the King and a believable presence for everyone."

"... I know. I don't have to tell you that..."

I didn't get rid of my sister's words. Julius was certainly laughing.

I leave Sphere and I fly to my mother's dragon.

We watched the two athletes fly to the end of the valley - even if the match was null and void, that's what we decided.
