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

"Uhhh... uhh... with this... my gathered strength..."

Lugard's unfolded blood shields are shredded to evaporate. A holy light bullet is purifying the shield itself.

(I realized while I was fighting... that this man's source of power was the life of other creatures... 'death' itself.)

Sphere constantly turns the Light Sword into a bullet and shoots it into a Lugaard - the Light Sword is the embodiment of a natural spirit made of the power of the Sword Spirit. It has the attribute of "light", but it does not have the power to persuade evil to exist.

However, by putting the power of purification inherited from Yuma on the light bomb, it turns into the only unique weapon that combines the power to confront the dead spirit with high power.

"Haaaa... aaaa...!

Unable to prevent light bullets, the armor covering Lugar's body is shredded by light bullets. Lugard covered his throat and stepped on it in agony - but he ran away from the barrage with a wall of blood rising from his feet.

"... you... what the hell are you..."

If Lugard hadn't gained the power of the Demons, he might have returned or defended the Holy Barrage (Holy Shroud) with the magic of "Reverse Dark" that I showed you earlier.

That's what I knew when I fought Sharon. The Nightcrawler (Nosferus) is a fragile race against the sacred power of Yuma.

If Yuma herself tries to 'soothe the soul', the power gained by many sacrifices in the blood of others that Lugard has now incorporated into her body will be purified and lost.

(But... why 'changed' so much? Lugaard, who fought in the Northern Valley, had the power of the Devil, but he was still human. It's just different now.)

(... maybe there's a reason. Dad, I might be told this is sweet....)

Sphere keeps his light sword pointing at Lugard. Winning or losing will never happen again - but you will have to stop it if you want to. But if you force it against your daughter's will, it's not fatherhood.

Lugard, whose black blood armor peeled off and burned where it was purified by light bombs, breathes roughly, but still regenerates the wounds - the black blood flowing through his body has not lost its strength yet.

"I may not have been able to beat you alone yet. If your father hadn't followed me, I wouldn't have been able to overcome my fear."

"... I see... you're afraid of me. Dick Silver dared you to fight to erase the memory of a defeat."

"I think so, too. But the other thing, Dad... is to protect everything Dick Silver wants to protect." I don't want to stand out. "

(Oh, hey... Sphere...?

Sphere is smiling. I don't know what she thinks - even if she stays like this, she doesn't share everything, but sometime it's gone.

(... my goodness. than I thought, you....)

(Yeah, I just want to help your father. Even if your father doesn't look at me all the time, I'll be able to do my job as an adventurer well. Then....)

--Before I finish telling you everything. Lugard, who had never moved before, laid his hand on his face and began to laugh at heaven.

"Hahahaha... hahahaha... you think it's Dick's daughter...? I... hahaha... hahahahaha... for a child who doesn't want to go to such an old age!

The laughter engulfed me - anger.

"Once a victor," and losing to someone who regarded it as an "ageless child" hurt his self-esteem, and his anger for everything, including himself, dyed his soul into the color of madness.

"What do you think I abandoned humans for... to remind people like you that they don't have an absolute sequence by birth. There's no way it's gonna end up like this... it can't be over...!

I don't know how Leon and Lugard related. But one thing I can tell you - the only thing that tied them together was their different shapes and their inferiority.

I know him best. I was born incompatible with others - if only I had enough power.

When you feel 'you are weaker than you are', it is irrational anger to come after you have learned your disappointment with yourself. An unreasonable feeling that you have to exclude.

- He's a monster. The village warriors threw a party to defeat the beast and drowned all by themselves.

--Stay away from my kid, he's not normal!

--If left alone, our village could be taken over by that child. That force is too heterogeneous.

I didn't know before I realized that villagers were afraid of the meaning of feelings directed against their own strength.

You were lucky to be isolated from yourself before you were excluded. When I stopped coming to my house, the villagers forgot about me and didn't bother my family.

The look of hate that Lugard is pointing at us now - the villagers would have been the same - if I had looked at it, I wouldn't know if I'd volunteered for the Demon King Crusaders.

Because I thought, "Why should I fight for people who hate me?"

"... Dad, thank you. I'm glad you're my father now."

You shouldn't show your daughter a weakness like that if it's true. However, Sphere reads the memories that appear at such moments sensitively.

--But the gentle expression that Sphere showed seemed unbearable to Lugard today.

"Didn't you hear me... I told you. There's no way this is gonna end."

Such an eye when everyone is cornered. So I can't relax until the end - I'm not going to relax.

"You are strong... but there are still people here who can be 'food'."

Lugard wasn't looking at us, he was looking at a balcony that was far behind - on the second floor of the palace.

"I've been told I can execute all the royal prisoners here... do you understand what that means?

Lugard was already 'ready' - he was already bleeding himself and sending him to the royal family before he could engage us.

The disappearance of the soldiers must have led to the decision to escape, the grand man - perhaps King Rasius and a few women - watching us from the balcony.

"Keep regretting that you didn't kill me in one breath, 'Forgotten Dick'...!

The same time Lugard's arm was severed, a lump of black liquid appeared in the air - and he tried to throw his spear at the royals of the balcony.

"... I'll catch up with you. Whatever you do."

― ― Light Sword (Light Blade) Purge Light Bullet (Eraser Ray) ―

"Nh...!!

Lugard was also unable to recognize the process by which the swordsman turned into a bullet and was thrown into a black bullet.

The sphere made of black blood changes white from the inside as it is ejected and crushes like a lump of sand. And without any shards, it disappeared into the wind that blew through the separation chamber.

"--You!

As he raised his emotional scream, Lugard no longer pretended to be fine, and when he simultaneously created two beast-like arms that changed black blood, he tried to cut, grab and crush Sphere.

If it had arrived, it would have hit Sphere, whose arm could never have filled the last distance.

-- Phantom Hydra --

When Sphere attacked Lugard, he embodied the cleansing power he applied simultaneously - entangled like a serpent, tied his beast arms together and stopped them.

Yuma's purifying power can also appear 'transparent and colorless' - depending on her will. By reacting to Sphere's silent chant, he was completely surprised by Lugard. Speaking of a fierce man like him, I couldn't deal with him without seeing the solution for the first time.

"Surrender... this is the last time!

"- Shut up!

Lugard came forward with an assassination blade that lurked in the darkness and was used to target Julius.

The weapon Lugard was originally using. The weapons that were supposed to be best at reaching the SS rank were sharper and more ill than any attack ever launched.

Still, I can't reach Sphere. Miralka has a reason to fight as a wizard without fear of an attack such as a bow - team magic that can also be converted into defense.

― ― Limited Extinction Type 91 Absolute Space Team ―

Countless thrown blades, including arms created by black blood, are broken down and extinguished into invisible particles, leaving no blades at a glance from the sphere.

(But you still won't give up...?

(--Sphere! He's not after us right now!

One last weapon - a song sword on the waist. But after putting his hands on it, Lugard made the stupidest choice.

"This is my 'job' this time... I'll take your neck, King of the Weak"

Execution of the King. To fulfill that, Lugard throws a sword - an arcing orbit to hunt King Rasius' head on the balcony.

"What...?!

Why don't you give up? Why don't you hesitate to kill people so much - Sphere's sad screams echo.

We were one step closer. I wanted to keep an eye on him until the end, but this will leave a wound in Sphere's heart.

(Well done, Sphere. Enough already)

(Father.....)

I'll do the rest. Before you say so, Sphere's consciousness sinks - instead, my consciousness manifests itself. At the same time, the ground at the foot of the rugged collapses and drifting sand appears.

"Gu... uhh...!

― ― Limited extinction type 46 tied driftsand formation ―

The magic of breaking down the ground and turning it into sand - by chaining its "breakdown" deep into the ground, it causes the sand to collapse and seals off enemy movements. It was one of the processes leading up to the Zero Extinct Self-Destruct Team, and it was one of the magic teams I could imitate.

Lugard turns his target and throws a sword with his own strength. I returned it with a flash of a magical sword - the most sharp attack on Lugard ever, despite being pushed from the wrong side.

"I wanted to see your sword in a different way."

"--haaaaaaaa!

Lugard poured all the power he had left to change the black blood into a shape he hadn't seen before - it was like a beast that had made a cat bigger than he had ever seen before.

Black beasts strip their teeth to protect the LORD. At that time, however, I pulled out my magical sword and set my sights on the point where Lugard, who had no fixed shape, kept covering.

--Shura residue wearing and transitioning instantly ―

Transfer the doppelganger and make a projection. Without allowing Lugard to react, the Magic Sword wore and pierced a 'nucleus' embedded in his throat to control Lugard's weaknesses - the power of the captured blood.

"Gh... ahh..."

I put my sword in my sheath. It is a famous sword that Sphere has always worn for self-defense, after the Fairy Sword.

"The power of black blood, which takes in the blood of others, is certainly powerful... but it's not unlimited. You failed to develop the technology you had in mind. That's why I couldn't find out."

"... I see... Forgotten Dick... I lost..."

"That's right. You lost to me. And I lost to Sphere."

Although Lugard could not fully understand the wording that did not resemble Sphere's appearance, he realized that 'I' took the last blow.

And I also noticed now - I used "Little Souls" to separate half of my combat ratings and put them in Sphere. The exercise of power in that state was causing changes in the body.

Your hands and feet are slightly longer than the original sphere, and your vision is slightly higher. The expression of my personality has transformed me into a person who grew up about a few years ago.

"... a man I don't like anywhere... with the power to change everything by myself, I do things around..."

"I'll take it as an opinion. And finally, can you tell me one thing?"

After exhausting all his powers, Lugard's body has dried up and turned white, becoming fragments and beginning to collapse. The collapse could not be stopped - Lugard seemed to accept it.

"It just sucked on the blood of the demons, that shouldn't be the case. Is it General Glasgow who implanted the 'nucleus' in his throat?"

Lugard clatters. As a last resort, I didn't think it would be strange to end without saying anything - but...

"... don't make a mistake. I wanted more power… Glasgow asked for help instead. I'm sure he was going to experiment himself. I'm convinced of the results myself."

A technology that turns people into monsters. I can't let you use anything like that anymore. "

"It's your ego, Dick Silver. Some people want to make their wishes come true by any means... you're not even satisfied with yourself right now."

In the ruins of King Alvinas' Labyrinth, Clive turned into a monster, more powerful than when he was a man. If I do the same thing, can I be stronger - if I really need to be a monster, do you think I want power?

The answer is no.

"I will continue to be human. If everyone were afraid of me, I might live like a cactus in the back of a mountain somewhere. I'm going to live the way I've always lived."

I am satisfied with myself now. Will Lugard cut it off as a deception?

Lugard remained silent for a while. When the wind blew and his body collapsed further, he did not bring pain to his face.

"... when you're hostile to Glasgow, you'll know one end of his mind. Can we still try him?"

"I don't need you to tell me that. Good or evil, I'll have to defeat Glass Goal."

"... I see. You're not... unprepared. This is how I..."

That was Lugard's last words. After the body sanded into the wind, what was left was probably a 'nucleus' for controlling black blood. I will stop the driftsand movement and carefully pick up the "core" that fell into the sand.

Unlike the Spiritual Dragon - it is closer to 'taking away' rather than 'gathering strength'. I don't know if it's the core of some kind of monster or an artificial magic instrument. One thing's for sure: Glass Goal prepared this.

And the Nucleus almost lost its function, but the black cat-shaped beast that Lugard separated earlier still existed after Lugard disappeared.

(Dad... is this kid...?)

"The fact that you didn't disappear with Lugard means you're a different person...."

Lugard left no words about this beast. If we dare to cut this beast apart at the end - there is some intent in it.

Without any indication of an attack, the beast quietly glances at me with the deactivated 'nucleus'. And I wondered what I was going to do, and I walked in front of me and sat politely.

"If you're not going to fight, why don't you just go back to the field and live...? It could affect the creatures of the mountains....."

(Eh... Dad, look! This kid looks...!

"What...?

The appearance of the cat beast makes an unexpected change in front of you - I've seen this change somewhere before.

The same as when a beast returns to man. Lugard was not a "cat-shaped beast," but a "Felician."

Even after being captured, I am still able to keep my own will - I wonder if there is such a thing, but in reality there is a Cat-Beast girl in front of me, staring at me with black eyes.

"... apparently, I'm not willing to fight. Why are you on your knees? We're like vengeance."

"... he said... if he loses, I will obey the winner..."

What was the relationship between Lugard and this Cat-Beastern girl? I don't know, but perhaps this girl's 'natural body' has already been lost.

"You're still conscious that Lugard sucked blood on you..."

"... the big beast of the army... attacked by a stray beast... this man..."

Imagine from fragmented words that Lugard did not take the girl's life. It is believed that she ingested her blood on the verge of death with some intent.

I've never heard of Ruggard, a ruthless killer called "The Lonely Buried", showing affection to others.

(... did Lugard want to let her go last?

It is impossible to know what he was thinking now. I don't regret it or think I can't help it.

One thing I can tell you is that the Cat-Beastern girl here is not going to hurt us, and she's not going anywhere.

"Sphere... I'm sorry, but can you stay here and follow her and the royals?"

(Eh... yeah! I'm fine, so protect your moms and Melmer sister.)

Looking back, there are women on the balcony of the detached house who are delighted to embrace each other safely. That's probably Mermaire's mother and sister.

And I want to talk to my father, King Rasius, but there are other circumstances.

"Well... do you have a name?

"... my name... it was just called 'Black Cat'... I forgot my original name..."

(My name, my father, my mother, and everyone thought about it... and I want to think about it for you next time.)

"Oh, I can always come back, so call me if anything happens."

What I've been trying for a long time has finally been completed - I can simultaneously run the "thought by row" that was increased by the "multiplexing of thoughts" onto the fragments created by the "small soul".

Slowly, you will be able to move the "main body and multiple splits" simultaneously, but first run the "thought of watching the sphere" and the "thought of moving the main body" simultaneously.

When I gave Sphere the bodily lead, he returned to his original age - I saw Sphere waving his hand in the sensation that his spirit was drawn toward the body.

"Dad, good luck! I'll be a good boy and wait!

If Lugard shows up in the apartheid, Leon will probably - based on his behavior and the personality I know - always use the movements of the National Army to challenge individual fights.

Is Leon targeting Cody or Mermaire, the symbol of Lattice Liberation? Even if Leon is gaining more power with Glass Goal, he won't escape this time - for his best friend, who has been struggling with his brother for a long time.
