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

Ride the Black Dragon with Mermaire and fly southwest from Rugenta Castle.

This is believed to be the intent of your husband's instructions. If we keep flying in the southwest direction for half an hour, there will be a detachment of Ratchrist in that direction - the aim of the enemy's execution should be to draw our attention to it.

"We should be able to meet your father, your mother, and your sister soon. Be careful, Melmer."

"Yes, onee-sama. Now, as Dick instructed me to do, I hope I can play my part. But...."

Mermaire looks back at Rugenta in a fascinating way.

If you leave your husband's body in the castle, it will be fatal. But I am convinced that the enemy will behave as your husband reads - and I am flying without hiding the signs to do so.

"Don't worry about your husband. Rather, we have to worry about ourselves... even if you trust us, if our enemies find us, they will die of madness."

"That's right... This way we can distract our enemies from the castle....."

"Originally, we should end the battle by firmly defending Mermaire, the flag of Lattice recapture. But our enemies' powerful personal power must be sealed off with only our power wherever possible. Soldiers are fragile and people are weak. It's not a sin, but we can't protect ourselves in a turmoil."

If Leon and Lugard, or Glasgow, see the soldiers following us as an obstacle, many lives will be lost.

"... Oniisama has always been able to fight like this."

"Uhh... yes, but do you think Oniisama would be happy to say that? Then I will tell you that there is something that illuminates you too much."

"Fufu... onee-sama hasn't been able to send any men since she was a demon king. Such a person is in front of my brother-in-law...."

I think Mermaire knows how tough your husband is, but she says that.

"I didn't expect you to start saying such mean things to me. I didn't see her before I saw her."

"Onee-sama has also become very beautiful. If you love someone, women can be as beautiful as ever."

"... I'd like to think it's moving forward a little bit. Before that, I have to protect the princess from the innocent."

"Nh... oneesan, something's coming!

Already feeling this hidden killer - even if you can't see the enemy, Mermaire releases spiritual magic just by following her senses.

"Spirit of darkness, be the thunder of judgment and shoot your enemies! Black Lightning Bomb (Chaotic Volt) !"

A black thunderbolt runs through the sky, perhaps heading for an enemy that is out of sight in 'Hiding' - but...

"--Spirit of Light, be thunder and burn my enemies." White Bomb Thunder "

"Nh...!!

Spirit of Light - A superior spirit that exists everywhere but only responds to some users.

"Oneechan...!

The thunderbolt generated by that power will swallow up Mermaire's Dark Spirit Magic, the S-Rank user, and attack us.

"--Demon King Scale (Abyss Scale)"

Mermaire's power was not enough. Activates defensive magic when fighting as a Demon King, ready to be activated all the time - "Demon King Scale" that turns nearby dead spirits into boundaries and prevents attacks for as long as my magic lasts.

"Kh...!

--But the white lightning cracks one of the "Demon King Scales" shaped like six petals.

The lightning that enters through that crack and attempts to target us, rotates six petals and plays. But there were still signs of the unseen raiders, and by then they were moving close to us.

"Running from the castle is a bad princess."

"Nh...!

Until the sword arrived, the signs of 'it' continued to fade. And he makes us laugh with a loud voice.

He rides a dragon and uses Hidden (Hiding). Then I assumed that the enemy would not approach beyond the speed of the Black Dragon.

But it wasn't. The enemy is not flying 'on a black dragon'.

The man who appeared the moment he was slashed was a human race, but his head had twisted horns, and his back had demonic wings.

The poke made with only intent to kill is aimed at the wound of "Demon King Scale". If you take it and defeat it slightly, the magic will be poured inside - even if I can endure it, Mermaire will die instantly. That alone must be avoided.

He instantly summoned the Spirit King's scepter into his hand and shook it out toward the "Demon King Scale" the enemy was aiming for.

With a heavy response, the Black Dragon is pushed very hard. The swayed scepter merges with the "Demon King Scale" and changes to another form.

A weapon produced by converting the "Demon King Scale" into a blade and attaching it to the tip of the scepter. Also known as the "Demon King's Scythe", it managed to parry the blade and let go of the power of the attack.

(Come from other worlds and face my enemies - 'The Ripper'!

"Nh... what is this... nasty...?"

I summoned the right arm of the "Guardian", a servant of the Spirit King, and shook through the spear held in his hand. A powerful blow to the mountains was strong enough to contain it.

"Onee-sama... that's a person... no, monster... the two signs are mixed..."

Still, there is something that remains unchanged. Brown hair of the same color as "sister" with an elegant face.

"Leon Brannage... you've fallen so far...!

Lugard and Leon were paying in return for helping Glasgow rebel.

I heard Leon was given "Armor Spirit" - but now there is no sign of Armor Spirit anywhere, but he looks at us with a smile as if he has merged with the Demons.

"I just realized that only the power to do what I want makes sense. My partner turned out to be a complete monster, but what do you say? I'm not much of a human yet, am I?

Mermaire's throat trembles. It wasn't impossible to be afraid - Leon didn't understand that his appearance was unacceptable to either man or demon.

"Your prospects will be crushed even more than we came to Ratochris. When I lost it once, why didn't I know?"

I didn't mean to provoke you. But I couldn't help being angry.

Leon should have had plenty of opportunities to stay. Still, I couldn't accept defeat and chose the most sad outcome for Cody.

"How could I call you brother... and trample on my sister who wanted to live as a human being...!

"... for my brother, who didn't give up 'Sword Spirit', I have to let him understand. Even I can defeat the Demon King. There's nothing I can't do with him."

You cannot give a unique spirit to another person. Knowing that, Leon could not abandon his envy of his sister's power.

"So, Devil King Verlaine... die for me."

"--Bullshit!

I give orders to The Ripper - but the spear shaken down toward Leon cuts through the sky.

The phenomenon of people turning into monsters. Clive, a SS-ranked adventurer, said he had become a monster, gained strength, and did not invite Sherry and the others to the party.

Then Leon is also not an easy target to defeat. The speed at which you can evade the 'Slayer' attack is a fact.

"You ran away with the princess because our army moved, right? Or did you try to help the captive family? You idiot, you came up with this stuff without even knowing it was alive for use as bait."

Do you mock those who seek to save their relatives? How dare you say such a thing...!

I'll take Mermaire's hand and leave it to him. Then swing through the scythe with both arms and keep returning Leon's attack, which hits from every angle with a distant human movement.

"--Ggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The Black Dragon roars - raising its response to the limit to avoid Leon's attack.

Leon's attack on the Black Dragon is offset by the movement of the Black Dragon's own spin and the Attack of the Ripper. However, Leon's slash speed and weight gradually increase as he takes it.

"Oh, I feel so good... this body suits me. I won't let you say I'm an adventurer of SS rank anymore. Now I can kill the Demon King....!

"Kh...!

Leon's face twists happily the moment he prevents an attack with the Demon King Scale.

"─ Dark Spear (Chaotic Spear) !"

"Melmer....!

Mermaire shoots the spear created by the power of the Dark Spirit into Leon - it was enough to defend it, even if it could not be struck.

"I can see where I'm going... Lie down, Demon King. If you ask for forgiveness, I'll keep you alive."

"It's never gonna happen to me to poke my knees in front of you...!

― ― Reincarnation of the Spirit King Seoul Advent ―

When the ultimate magic of the Spirit reaches, he is allowed to deal with the "King Scepter of the Spirit King".

Enhance your physical abilities with magic and summon equipment with the power of spirits. I had to get there, and I couldn't keep fighting the Demon King Crusaders for a few seconds, and I was defeated.

Some say this figure is beautiful. If you're a master, you might say it's like a demon king.

"... what, is that... you're still hiding your power from me...?

"Even if you become a monster and grow in strength, it does not reach the SSS rank. And I have fought" SSS Rank Party "against them in the past. If you know what that means, drop your sword."

"... did you make any mistakes because you were bonded by a man? Demon King... Okay, let's change course."

Before asking what that word meant - Leon's gaze was directed to another place, not ours.

Seeing what lies ahead of me, I fight - the village of Loire near the castle of Rugenta, which has just been attacked.

"One day I'll put my knee in front of you, Demon King... and I'll carve it into your heart so you can remember me. Don't let that village die."

"Ah... stupid thing...!

Leon flew to the village of Loire after attacking the Conqueror and escaping Mermaire's Spirit Magic. With the speed of the Black Dragon, we cannot follow its speed.

I knew there was no point in persuading them. Still, I hesitated to beat 'Cody's brother' - I finally made a mistake, returning to the Devil King, ready to protect Mermaire.

"One of your villages is going to die! You hate Albain, and you hate the foolish former king of Ratchrist!

And Leon, who lied unto the people of the Loire, and appeared in the sight of the devil, sought to pour out from the sky lightning that shined brightly unto him.

- But it was the moment the first thunder was about to go off.

"... Master..."

It seemed like my soul was trembling. When I saw the sight, I just filled my chest with joy and relief.

"─ ─ Gwaaaaaaa......!!

Leon screams. An undisputed Master's blow, unleashed to tear the heavens apart, was tearing apart the devil's wing.

◆ ◇ ◆

I woke up at Rugenta Castle, separated from the "Little Soul" that lived in Sphere. I looked at the southwest sky from the roof of the castle and noticed something approaching.

After confirming that it was Leon, I didn't hesitate to think about intercepting him.

We cannot involve soldiers or people in battles above the SS rank. For this reason, Verlaine and Mermaire were asked to leave the castle to attract their enemies.

Given Leon's actions, it was easy to imagine that he was targeting Mermaire. There is also an interest in me and Cody, but if we can win with a high chance and get Mermaire, a prisoner who plays an important role, Leon can be a cornerstone in the rebellion.

Verlaine and Mermaire are in great danger. Still, I believed Verlaine would protect Mermaire.

Cody won't let you defeat Leon. That's why putting her in a sweet environment would never forgive me.

Therefore, I entrusted Cody with the most dangerous task. Someone on the Central Plains who is currently in command of the enemy army - one who will be heading out in this situation, hitting Glasgow.

"... Dick... Dick Silvaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Verlaine and Mermaire are delighted that they are safe, and at the same time lose their words in Leon's unusual appearance. Still, we cannot afford to lose our wars.

From the rooftops of the castle, he jumped to the trees on the outskirts of Loire Village and ambushed Leon while "Hiding" was still active.

"Shura Shadow Sword, Shifting Flash" - originally a technique that didn't have enough range to defeat an enemy in the sky, but now I could reach it several times ahead.

"You're no different from Lugard. Do I have to be so strong...?

"... haaaa...!!

As he roared, Leon's wings, which had fallen out of balance, regenerated - he controlled his posture before colliding with the ground, but I couldn't 'fly' him.

With that much time, there's no turning back. I was behind Leon, pointing a sword at his back.

"... are you going to win?

"There's no point in continuing. What you've done will be judged by Albain's law....."

"Bullshit. You're a hypocritical monster, Dick Silver. Don't use that power only for yourself. You don't want anything to get it all. You're a foreign body that shouldn't be in this world."

Leon's malicious words didn't shake my heart.

What this man did to Kasumi, to the people of Latticism, and to Mermaire. The day will probably not come when you will regret it.

Still, it's not over yet. This man is Cody's brother.

"He told me, too. Even now, apologize to the woman who threw it away. But I have a better match. It's not a vessel that stays in such a small village... it's a stupid sister I never understood."

"... he's not stupid. I think more about Albain than anyone."

That's why she wanted to be a Cavalier - not just to move when things go wrong, but always to protect Albain.

"He was just lucky. I just had a little gear shift... yes, the Sword Spirit was supposed to be mine. Cordelia took away my rights... and I defeated the Demon King and glorified Albain the best..."

"... Cody is Cody, you are you. It won't be the same if the gear shifts."

Until the end, I was trapped in a delusion against my sister. I didn't think it was the right thing to do.

"--We 're parallel no matter where we go. Don't you think?

In an instant, the flash filled the field of vision - Leon interfered with the Spirit of Light, causing intense lightning as he was involved.

Leon soars up with his wings flapping, leaning against the sky and spreading his hands. It's not killing - I feel unprecedented bad omens and chills in some kind of preparedness.

"Leon... that's your answer...!

"Dedicate all my strength and petition. Light Spirit, return everything I see to the ashes...!

A great spiritual magic in exchange for all magic - Leon chose it. Even at the cost of my life, to reward me.

"Now what... show me your nature, 'Monster'"

You can't even give me a respite from hesitation. We can never let this village recover from the fire.

- But Leon wants me to be fierce. If you let anger kill him, you'll laugh at the consequences.

"Why are you... that's the only thing you can choose...!

Materialization of the Magic Sword. You don't have to do that, you can end it in a flash - yet I grind my sword to the limit in the shortest possible time.

The only thing I can do for Leon anymore is not give up.

― ― Magic Sword (Spirit Blade) Ultimate Reinforcement (Endryze) ―

"What... you... that trick..."

Practice cutting with a magic sword that is less powerful than a light sword. And I actually borrowed the light sword and waved it - an experience that took my magic sword to the next level.

"Why did you... use Cordelia's sword..."

Leon sees my sword as a light sword. But no - a sword that only mimics the power of the sword spirit is not real.

Why did I choose this technique? It was to convey the belief that only Cody was authentic and that the sharpened sword was meaningful.

"... goddamn it...!!

I wonder if some of them have been passed on. The power of powerful spirits does not determine the strength of adventurers. Leon's abilities stopped growing when he stuck to the Sword Spirit and depended on the Armor Spirit.

A moment before all of Leon's magic was transformed into a raging thunder by the Spirit of Light. Without a sound, I swing my sword.

It's just a blow. But the sword, strengthened to the extreme, raised it to the point where it cut through space.

"Nh...!

However, the slash reduces the barrier around Leon - the familiar boundary. Far away, horizontal lines run in the clouds.

I remember the answer. The only armor that prevented Cody's sword - the Defensive Boundary created by the "Armor Spirit".

― ― Halo Armor Light Armor Magic Seal Boundary Force Field ―

"What the hell have you been doing... you almost got me killed. I don't need this magic anymore, if you and I join forces...."

Leon speaks to the armored spirit that is still invisible.

However, the Armor Spirit remains unresponsive - without lifting the boundaries. The boundaries surrounding Leon overlap many more.

"Nh... hey... don't be ridiculous, I think you're here to serve me! You don't have to use this magic anymore, be the armor to protect me! Come on, fool!

"... you couldn't use it effectively even if you gave it strength. Is there a problem with the personality of the material because I am an SS ranked adventurer? Glasgow-sama is deeply disappointed."

"What... ah, okay, I won't kill the people in the village... I'll keep you alive, so hurry up, my magic..."

"--I didn't give you the power to kill innocent countrymen...."

Kick the ground, jump, slash. My sword was certainly shredded and torn apart by the boundaries that surround my body.

"Protecting myself... I didn't know such a person existed. But it's too late."

― ― Halo Armor Light Armor Resistance Barrier Repulse Force ―

There is an invisible barrier around the armor sperm that rejects everyone.

Played and still strengthens the 'air' in the air to create a scaffold and try to eat him again - but

Within the spherical boundaries surrounding Leon, which the Armor Spirit never unlocked, a thunderbolt transforming all of Leon's magic went wild.

"Haaaaaaaaaaa...!!

Lightning strikes that were supposed to sweep the village, or even the castle of Rugenta, all bounce back to Leon.

"--uhhhhhh!

The armor sperm caught my sword with the barrier I created at the end of my hand without changing my expression. The spirits turned into reality, mimicking a girl - that expression does not move at all.

"Leon did not answer my Lord's expectations. The results of" incarnation "are not as good as those of Lugard. As a result of this, it was unnecessary as an elemental body."

"... you tried it with Leon and Lugard... how to make a Mixed Beast...!

"That's what they wanted. My Lord has merely offered us possibilities. To gain the power they crave."

Leon and Lugard's desire to dominate the country at the top was harnessed by Glasgow.

For Glasgow, they were invaders. The confusion they caused drove Glasgow into rebellion - that was just the story we were shown.

Reflected by lightning that pours all its magic into it, Leon remains stuck in the sky. The armor sperm glanced at his appearance without any interest and tried to push my sword back by generating a force to keep everything away once again.

"I executed what you were supposed to kill. I gave the abuser the punishment he deserved… why so angry? I suffer from understanding"

"You know... if your husband is stronger than Leon, he could have stopped Leon... pretending to be a weak man and deceiving him to the end, so you're satisfied...!

"SSS-ranked adventurers... they couldn't stand it when you kept Albain's Peace. My Lord sympathizes with them and helps them."

"That's right... strong guys want their freedom, and they deserve it. But that's not what we should do until we mess up the country."

"My Lord acted because confusion was necessary. The tranquillity of the demonic kingdom of Ratchrist is obtained by blindfolding the sacrifices that occur in the future. My Lord does not recognize it. I had to change this country, even if I was using foreign elements."

Albain was also unaware of the anomaly in the underground labyrinth and might have left it until the Snake awoke.

Suppose a similar threat is visiting this country. Even if Leon and Lugard took control of the throne in the midst of the confusion, is Glass Goal trying to do so solely because of his selfishness?

"... why are you telling me that? 'Cause you don't think my sword will get through to you."

"I am immune to all attacks. Even if I had the ability equivalent to the SSS rank, how could I destroy me...."

I can't reach it. The armor sperm who tried to say that looked at my sword and doubted my eyes.

― ― Magic Sword (Spirit Blade) Boundary Break (Anti-reflect) ―

Enhanced by magic and hardened to the limit, the blade offsets the boundaries of the armor sperm and continues to advance.

"I can analyze most of the tricks I've seen once. Even if it's spiritual magic. My analysis is finally finished because you didn't run away."

"... along with the Shield Spirit, my Lord must be interested in penetrating the boundaries of the Armor Spirit with such a powerful move..."

The armor sperm pulls slightly - I know what it is, just like before, it's about to shift and escape.

"I have fulfilled my current mission. Albain Adventurer, report the power to my Lord...."

"--There's no way I'm going to let you escape again and again. I should have thought a little more about what it means for the owner of the" King of the Spirit Scepter "to be here...!

I thought it was possible to fight the armor sperm here for about five minutes.

Even in battle in King's Landing, the Armor Spirit did not fight to the end and chose to withdraw without hesitation - there are certain conditions that must be fulfilled to capture Spirits who can travel ignoring distance in response to the Summon Monster.

"Verlaine, I need a 'Summon Seal'!

"--The chanting is already over. Spirit King, the one who was given the sceptre petitions!

The body of the Armor Spirit glows - it should be transferred in response to the Summon Monster, but in response to Verlaine's petition, the Summon Monster was interrupted by the Spirit King's intervention.

"The Spirit King... has already left this world, but still retains its dominance..."

"I believed it would work, but it's amazing...!

"Nh... I can't get caught."

"Armor Spirit" finally swallowed up the situation, activated "Resistance Barrier" again and played my sword. Still, I'm eating again and starting to break down again.

(The boundaries of the armor sperm overlap many times with those constructed by different techniques... not only my sword, but also a sword with other properties and equal or better performance, if you attack at the same time...!

"--Unlike when we fought before... we grow up in battle. This is the SSS rank... the power my Lord is looking for..."

The Armor Spirit switches instantly before my sword tears it apart, but it gradually fades away - the magic consumption is too great.

The armor sperm, unable to maintain its materialization and glancing at the disappearing body, once again creates a barrier with the last force, it tries to escape with a difficult visual appearance.

But unless it's a subpoena transfer, we won't lose it. Because even if you disappear, you can't completely zero the magic that is the source of the Spirit's power.

― ― Visual Enhancement (Vision Rise) Magic Tracking (Spirit Trace) ―

Activates magic to keep track of it even if it's a short distance away. In my consciousness, I can simultaneously see the sight I'm actually seeing and the surroundings of the subject I'm tracking.

The Lord of the Armor Spirit - perhaps Glass Goal - is before we pursue him. I'll hop on Verlaine's Black Dragon, gliding from high altitude, share my consciousness with Verlaine, and keep track of the Armor Spirit.

"... we have to finish this. Fight only the enemy's main power and the battle is over. This is what your husband used to do when he entered our country."

"It's an operation that wouldn't have been possible without everybody... but my people are really blessed. If Leon wasn't just trying to follow someone, he was really thinking about working together...."

"Some cannot trust others. Each of these values… If Leon and Lugard hadn't been defeated, a lot of things would have lost their lives. They did something they shouldn't do under the pretext of seeking strength."

He did not deny my words, but Verlaine was decisive.

Leon Brannage, and Lugard Valenstein. The two adventurers who confused the demonic kingdom of Ratchrist never saw the country from the standpoint of ruler.
