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

Sharon is sitting in a chair and looking at us gently. He told me he wouldn't do anything, that the prisoners would do everything.

(Everyone... has changed so much...)

(Ginada, it's okay. You need to see a little 'response', but I'll make sure your men get it back. I'll buy you some time.)

(Yes... I see. Sphere's father, please.)

It was a short response, but General Ginada's thoughts were well conveyed. This way, staying in Sphere in a mental state makes you more sensitive to human emotions and more sensitive. There is nothing to disturb your mind - there is no denying that it will spring up.

(Father, you're angry.....)

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

(Yeah, I think moms like their dads because they get angry about other people like themselves. I want to be like that, too)

(On the contrary, there is something that shines so much praise...)

Sometimes I don't think Sphere himself is enough, even if he looks perfect. But as a father, I want you to be calm and not angry - my sweetness makes Sphere smile.

"What are you laughing at...? You still don't know what's going on?

"No, I know. I have to punish you."

"... yes... she seems to be in good spirits under Ginada's protection, but she doesn't seem to know it's a reliable situation."

(Still, she's making a mistake. Instead of sheltering, I was on the side of being saved... but because Sphere is so cute, she took away the shares of Nosferus, who is good at charm.)

(No, no... I'm not cute. Even myself, I think it's not going to work)

Sphere dares to say such a thing while provoking. But didn't Sharon like the air we exchanged with each other just in case? Sharon frowned on his well-prepared eyebrows and started letting out his killer air without hiding it.

"Kids are more refined and seem delicious. First let your former superiors know who you are... my beloved servants...!

"" "Gahhh!!

More than a dozen prisoners were inside, and from the passage leading into the hall, the blue-faced prisoners, who were not alive, drowned with their teeth out and shouted.

Prisoners who had been spinning pillars until now would rip off chains of iron balls attached to their feet and try to hit Sphere like a freil - but not with such a monotonous attack.

But in a confrontation, it's not just about avoiding and launching a counter-attack.

(--If you do it normally, you'll hit another prisoner....!

(Sphere, I'm going to use a little force...!

Sphere can mimic many of Eileen's moves. It's easy to avoid with body magic, but if you don't want to take casualties from other prisoners, it's a more effective place to rely on magic.

Dodging Freil like this hits a prisoner trying to attack from behind. General Ginada has no idea what he's going to do in a melee battle - we should start here by disturbing the enemy's rhythm.

(There's no need to call the Light Sword, my reproduction is enough. Firstly, burn the eyes of the enemy... Ginada, I will apply auxiliary magic to keep my sight on! Trust me and accept it!

(Eh... yeah, I see!

- The Darkness of White Light (Bright Darkness) -

"" "Ghhhh...!

A dazzling light is emitted from all over Sphere, blocking the sight of the captives who are about to attack.

"Eh... smart thing...!

From that reaction, I didn't even expect to be blinded - so I have to say that I don't have enough practical experience.

Sharon stood up, but stopped on the way. I can see the enemy's situation perfectly from here, but I can't see anything from there. Ginada, who has maintained her sight with my auxiliary magic, has already retreated from the prisoner range.

"I can't escape anyway... crush him!

That's why I choose such an easy method. Because Sphere doesn't understand artificial spirits, the idea of 'crushing' comes up.

(Ginada, the enemy is facing us. Could you please take a step back and wait, or I won't be able to unlock "Preparation"...!

(Dad, don't you mind if I cute you?

(I'll put out the "bamboo" as a target. We'll fight each other if there's nothing.)

(Hmm... Stone Spirit, respond to my voice! "Innocent Stone Pillar (Stone Innocence)")

Sphere temporarily disarms the materialization - after which he summons the Spirit on the stone floor at his feet, pointing a stone pillar the size of his stature.

Using this magic as an intermediary to a building will transform it into its original form - but to borrow enough mass to reliably catch an attack, we have to work on the stone floor.

Some of them had weapons, but others attacked them with bare hands, making several bitter noises.

"I got it... you got it? At last, you'll be released....."

Sharon, who was about to get up from the chair, exhaled a trembling breath as he stroked his silver hair - pointing his "back" at me and Sphere.

"Guu......"

"Damn...!

The prisoner who had been holding Sharon to his left and right fell overboard. They were mowing their consciousness with Sphere's laid down Eileen's direct sword, without even realizing that we were behind it.

"... hah...!?

When the light subsided, what Sharon saw - captives stunned in front of a beautiful cylindrical stone barrel and Ginada looking at them from behind. And there were two people who fell down by their side.

"This, this... this, this..."

"Dad promises not to do anything bad anymore and tells me to surrender. You know what would have happened if you hadn't tried."

"Nh... Sphere, Sharon hasn't given up yet...!

Sharon's men were not the only ones captured and followed - the traits of the Nightcrawler or the countless bats that lurked in the ceiling suddenly attacked us from above.

And Sharon's own behavior was quite remarkable. From sitting in a chair in the blink of an eye, it raids with bats from the air - not pseudo-metastases, but only pure physical abilities.

"--This is what this is all about, me...!

As much as the fierce Sharon-A-Rank Adventurer, this temper may seem comparable to the Magic Beast, but I don't move that much.

After giving General Ginada the next instruction in memory, I will chant the magic I have with Sphere. The magic you use to protect your allies can also be used to sanction opponents who don't have to raise their hands.

"Such an attack won't reach me... reflect!

― ― Double cage of barriers Protective prisons Double cage ―

It was a defensive margin that could be deployed to the quadruple, but there was no need to do so. Flies the jumping Sharon, without the bats or soothes pouring down countless times, and falls to the floor by being splashed by a barrier.

"Khuh... ahh...!

That's it - rapidly expanding the boundary and banging Sharon against the ceiling soon after he resists. With a heavy impact, cracks entered the ceiling, and parallax and stone pieces fell.

"Ugh... keho, koho..."

Slowly returning the boundary to its original size, the slippery Sharon falls to the floor and bleeds - again, the strength is too different.

"Hah, hah... I haven't heard of any enemies like this... if even Ginada were weakened, there wouldn't have been any problems... why..."

"... do you surrender already? If you surrender....."

When Sphere tries to get close, Sharon still refuses to lose and wakes her torso. Regardless of her own blood wet to the neck, she was laughing.

"Are you sure...? You're hunting me down so hard. It's up to me to turn General Ginada's lovely men into living corpses... fufu, fufufu..."

(Oh, that's settled already. You just spilled your own blood on the floor... so I can figure out how to get the prisoners to follow you. Blood-mediated magic.)

"Do not lie, no one escapes from the power of the Nightcrawler (Nosferus). Even though I might be myself, what's happening to just humans...?!

"I... am not like normal people. I am taking over the power of my mothers and my father has taught me how to use it. Once seen, magic can be parsed if it is not complicated. Even if it's similar to the curse."

"--I don't believe that nonsense!

I was always responsible for analyzing how enemy magic works. If you don't know what you're doing, a bad opponent can force you into a defeat that overrides your rank difference - for adventurers, defeat in battle means almost death.

So even if you don't believe me, if I can't do this much, I can't imagine getting drunk to enter a demonic country with different special abilities for each race.

"I can always reverse... our servants have not escaped my rule. Ginada, I'll kill you, if you do as I say...."

"Sharon... you must have left the royal palace because you hated the house. Why are you guarding this place by following Glass Goal?

"... ah, uhh, uhh...!

Sharon answered General Ginada's question for a moment. But I began to suffer as if my invisible hands were being strangled.

"Glass goal... how far are you...?"

General Ginada shook his voice in anger. I was able to understand the conversation to some extent. Sharon has been forced by someone - perhaps Glasgow - to serve as the warden of this prison.

To be free from that curse, we must obey the orders given. Then what can we do best?

(Dad, I... saw Sharon...)

(... until you defeat Glass Goal, you should have Sharon follow our instructions. To do that, we need to lift the curse.)

(Yeah... thank you, Dad)

Most likely, it will be the prisoners who are still waiting for Sharon's orders to decide whether Sharon should be allowed or not.

"Now, my servants... suck on the blood of my daughter and Ginada and make them your friends...!

To escape the curse that afflicts him, Sharon brightens his red eyes.

"... why... why doesn't it move? There's Ginada right behind you, why...!

But the prisoners can no longer move a single step. From the time he entered this room until now, Sharon had not realized that he had been defeated.

"In this room, my 'thread' is hanging... like a web of invisible spiders. You thought I was weak, but you should have wondered more about her being with you."

"... I can't believe you can exchange magic with the demons... Ginada...!

Why is Sharon angry? Ginada, who was debilitated in prison, recovered from Sphere's magic split - probably because she imagined in an unexpected direction why the race could have made it.

"... I am a pureblooded 'Witch Threader' (Arakne). I am close to humans, but that fact remains unchanged and no one is deceiving me."

"Then why...?"

"I think my magic can be divided into people of any race. There are so many kinds of magic mixed up, and I'm here right now...."

When Sphere lay down the fact of artificial spirits, it didn't seem like a very convincing explanation for Sharon. However, the idea that "the magic of the human race and the demon race are incompatible" is an old idea that, from my point of view, is trapped in custom.

(The magic that originates from life can be divided into other creatures in just a few steps... this is a feeling you won't know until you use assistive magic for a long time)

Dad, we need to free Sharon and the prisoners.

(Ah, I see... Sphere, you can 'de-curse' me.)

(Yes, of course. Because it's Yuma's mother's skill.)

Yes, 'Soul Tranquilizer' - From the time I saw Nosferus, I understood that they seemed to Yuma to be 'tranquilized' subjects.

Unlike Lacequeen, Nosferus is probably the top immortal. The monks of Albainism train to purify the immortals, but Yuma is born with unparalleled power in the field.

"I, what the hell... I don't want to disappear...!

"You don't have to be scared. Yuma's" Soothing Soul "can only remove the" Curse "from your bodies. Ginada-san, can I borrow your yarn?"

"... how could you use my abilities like this... Sphere, where did you get such power...?

Ginada's creation of a threaded boundary - something we should also call a 'spider web'. Originally, it could be used to send Ginada's magic to the person who caught her in the nest.

When I first saw her yarn, I was able to see not only what it was to restrain the enemy, but also what other uses it had. Using "vision enhancement", I can see the structure of everything - even yarns that are usually invisible.

The thread is stopping the prisoners from moving. However, that alone would have caused the thread to swallow into the frantically restrained part, causing non-minor injuries.

To prevent that, you need to quell the enemy's hostility. Sharon mediates it by sucking blood from them and sending his own blood slightly in their stead. All you have to do is suppress and purify the power that that blood produces.

(However, such a way can only be done by Yuma and Sphere, who inherits the power. One thing I can't imitate.)

(Yeah, Dad can do it too. Your father can use your mother's help)

(I'll just borrow it. There's something I can't do, that's all.)

"Yeah... okay. Now, I'll do my best for you...!

Sphere's hair approaches the color of Yuma's hair - and from the inside of her body, a calm, but harsh, divine force flourishes.

"A cursed pot of misguided souls. In the name of Albain's God, in the light of mercy...!

"Ah... ahh...!

"" "Aahhhh... ahh...!!

The voices of the captives, which sound like the demons of the Termination - from that voice, the color of suffering fades.

In my eyes, I saw the power of Sphere's purification sent to Sharon and the captives via the Thread to lift the curse that had bound them. The spiritual pots that bound each mental body disappear wrapped in light.

Slightly lively returns to the faces of the evenly pale prisoners. One of them shouted at Ginada as he was about to fall on his knees.

"... Dear Ginada... if we could just..."

A prisoner who has regained her sanity like a beast roared like a lie earlier - a female soldier utters a meaningful word. General Ginada walked up to her and struggled on her knees and shoulders.

"It's okay... for now, take a break. We'll be there when he wakes up."

"... ahh... really... that little girl..."

"Yes... Mr. Sphere and her father helped me."

"No... I just listened to your father and did what he said."

Sphere is constantly embarrassed when she is called to honor Ginada. I'd like to stroke your head if you had my body, but I can't do that right now.

Sharon is also stunned, but perhaps the curse can be lifted. Her mental body alone was wrapped in black bars - she was obeyed in the same way as the other prisoners.

(This, this black pot... is that it?)

(Dad, this is with a guy named Lugard....)

(That's right. Lugard had Sharon follow him… Lugard has acquired the abilities of Nosferus in some way. And I cursed Sharon with blood.)

There is no one way humans can gain the power of demons. There was another way for Clive to turn into a monster in the "Altar" of the ruins labyrinth.

Ruins were also found in this Lattice, and the King tried to seal it. Glasgow disagreed and rebelled.

Mixed beast in action. The Dragon Kimira we encountered in the Ruins Labyrinth - and the Luger that gained the power of the Demons. All the elements are trying to connect together.

"Speir-chan, Father... I will wait for my men to recover and escape, and I will definitely join you. So first....."

(If you recover, you should use Sphere's magic. We'd better act together before we get out of prison. I'm sorry, but I expect Ginada to be a force for battle.)

"I... am I really helping you? When the real strong enemies show up, they don't have the strength to pull your legs....."

Ginada still regrets losing Glass Goal. Looking at his weakened men while he was being taken prisoner, he seemed to be reinforcing his remorse even further.

(Regarding Sharon, I'm sorry, but for the time being, let me restrict my actions. I don't know if I can count on her, but Sphere can make Sharon a family by herself. It's a subordination contract... and the other one, Beatrice of Lake Queen, has no limit on the number of people that can be contracted.)

"Hmm... Sharon is a high-ranking demon, and he can't easily accept contracts. And yet, how... ah...!

Ginada noticed what she was about to say.

Yes, Sphere is the daughter of the Devil King Verlaine - the highest Demon who can make subordination agreements with all demons.

"... but temporarily, I'm under your command, so I should make a deal."

"Dad says Sharon's abilities are at stake, so he wants to keep them under contract. Ginada is very strong, so I'm fine."

If I had a contract easily, I'd be the Devil King. Thanks to Verlaine, the negative impression of the word Demon King has disappeared altogether.

"That's right... no matter how strong you are, you shouldn't easily seek refuge with the General. I'll do my best not to pull my legs."

General Ginada still treats the girl Sphere with the utmost respect. I just want to find her gear as soon as possible before I get off the ground - I don't want to run into a strong enemy as it is.

General Ginada's men will help us as soon as we can recover. I can't let you fight as hard as you can, but considering the future, I don't think we have much to gain from rebuilding Ginada's troops.

"Dad, I have to cook everyone's dinner. I wonder if there's a kitchen up there.

She says she can't fight when she's hungry. I'd like to get in touch with my friends at Rugenta Castle to reassure them, but I'd like to move forward steadily.
