He was the weakest and even persecuted, but after 100,000 years of training in the super-difficult labyrinth, he becomes too strong and has no enemies - he will be a warrior without any sense of being the strongest because he has lived a long bocce life.

I see. It was. Now I know why Ashburn Gastrea gave the title of Sword Emperor to Zignir. It was something I didn't have. That is, the talent of the sword. In other words, an overwhelming sense of the sword. I know because I kept swinging the sword. Unlike me, this man is more in love with his sword than anything else.

Finally, Jigner cried out. It's not that I don't think it's shameful. It's just that, to Zigniel, swordsmanship was his very own value.

You're going to have to stop doing this nonsense. You don't have time for this. You're going to have to think long and hard about why Ashburn Gastrea has entrusted you with the name of the Sword Emperor.

He told Jigner, who was crying out like a child, and then turned his head to the man with the gray shaved head - Enns.

I'm going to take the Sword Emperor and return to the Empire. For the Sword Emperor's brilliance, I'll let you off the hook this once and for all.

This is my ego. But I am selfish by nature. I'll let myself go through with it to the end.

"A summoner who defeats the Sword King with a sword. "A summoner who defeats the Sword Emperor with a sword. You're too dangerous.

Enns pulled his jaw, stiffened his body, and went into a state of alert.

It's going to be a different kind of trouble.

'What if it's dangerous?　Let me tell you, the only person I approved of was Jigner. It's a miracle, in a way, that I allowed snobs like you to survive, isn't it?

Ho ho!　But it's all very clear. You are not a sweetheart to be tamed by anyone to begin with. If I don't kill you here, you will surely, surely, become a threat to my empire. So - you will die here!

Enz leaps behind and starts chanting. Immediately after, a magic circle arises. A red-skinned demon with flames slowly emerging from that magic circle. It has a muscular physique with two horns sprouting from its forehead.

It must be a considerable amount of heat. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it in the future.

I'm here to follow the pact. So what do you want from me?

"Kill that human!

The fiery demon, arms crossed, frowned and often assessed me, then moved his eyes to Fafnir, Astaroth, in turn, and

"Those three humans are not bad. A fair price to pay, though?

Only the eyeballs are pointed at Enns and say so.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. This feeling is even less than the Grasshopper Man.

But that's strange. It's probably the hidden gem of the Six Horsemen, and it's supposed to be the Spirit King of the world. Of course, there were demons in that dungeon that faked their strength as well. So we can't say that it's rare but not impossible.

However, if that's the case, his current statement is puzzling. From what he said earlier, it seems that he is able to measure the strength of others to a certain extent. In this regard, my average status right now is suppressed to about 100 due to [Sealed God's Glove]. And it's the same with Astaroth and Fafnir. They are equipped with concealment items to disguise their status average of about 100. The reason is simple. It's easier for us to get them to let their guard down than it is for them to be extra careful. And now you say he's going to play us for a lot of money. Only a hundred or so?　I mean, that's--

I know. I'm going to give you the life force of my mana. That should be enough to make up for it.

"Wait, wait a minute!

One of Enns' men desperately wishes for a change of heart, but

For my country. Accept it.

Enns cut off his men very easily and pronounced their deaths.

The black robes fell to their knees with despair in their eyes.

''Astaroth, the item we're doing is in effect, isn't it?

It should be. At the very least, our power should be undetectable to these clowns.

Haha!　I see!　So that's what it was all about!　This man Enns is not the Sixth Cavalry General. It's just a squire that followed the Sword Emperor. I had mistakenly thought he was the Sixth Cavalry General because that gray monk was so arrogant, but that fire demon (?) is not a spirit king or anything like that, it's just a small fish. It smells like a small fry in terms of skin sensation, and more importantly, it seems to perceive our status of about 100 as strong.

Indeed, the source of the information is the Imperial Guard. They won't be able to talk about it easily. To begin with, there are significant doubts about their reliability. I was foolish to rely on this information.

If that's the case, then it's not the Spirit King, it's just an evil spirit. That's right. The King of Spirits would never ask for a human's life force (mana), right?

"There's no price to pay. After all, you're not going to get away with it anymore.

I point the tip of the wooden stick at the fiery demon.

Let me go?　You're a big boy, aren't you, human?

With a grin and the corner of his mouth raised, the fiery demon looks down at me and asks, "What's going on? Her face is smiling, but her eyes are the opposite. It's quite irritated.

'Mm. It's natural. If evil spirits like you are left unchecked, they can only cause you harm. I'll make sure I get rid of them right here.

"Wow, my evil spirit?

As you can tell from the way he pronounces it in a trembling voice, he's pretty pissed off. Mmmmmm, this is a nice touch. I'm not going to let you get away with it, but I don't have any particular means to do so.

That's not the case. And if so, what could it be? Is it a demon?　No, I don't even feel the pressure of a flaming demon in the top layer of that weaklings-only dungeon. After all, it's an evil spirit, right?

Just like the black beast I just defeated, it's indistinguishable from a winged insect buzzing around.

"I am Efreet, the Spirit King!

I'm sure you're right. You will be able to see that. You can't get away with it. You wanted me to acknowledge you before I died, didn't you?

I've never actually met an evil spirit before, so it's not very convincing.

Finally, the self-proclaimed spirit king's entire body trembles with a thick blue streak in between his eyebrows and pulls and shakes.

You're not going to be able to get a good deal more than that.　This is the only time there is no price to pay!　I'm going to give you a taste of what's to come by tearing their bodies to pieces!

I don't need that. You can't have an evil spirit spouting impossible fantasies to you. I'm just confused--

The self-proclaimed king of spirits breathes in, and as he speaks eloquently, he blasts me with scorching heat. However, it is naturally a reward for me, who has the ability to assimilate into flames and heat. By the way, clothes and ornaments also do not burn due to the effect of my assimilation ability.

You're going to be able to get your hands on them.

I'm not sure if it's a surprise that they don't burn, or if it's a surprise that they don't burn, or if it's a surprise that they asked me that question with their eyes wide open in astonishment.

'I can't burn with your little flame.

"This is a ridiculous ministry, this Spirit King Efreet's fire!　A mere mortal like you should have burned to the bone!

You're still talking. You self-proclaimed spirit king!　Well, I've seen this happen before. Ah, yes. It's that self-proclaimed evil demon Gili Mekara. When I first summoned him from the Defeated Pictorial Book, he was quite rebellious, so after thoroughly training his guts, he's become much better now.

It's a good thing that we're both self-proclaimers. Let's leave the training to him.

I took out the 【Defeating Book】 from the item box and opened the page for Gili Mekara.

"Your fire isn't working!　That's not normal!　Efreet, let's go all out!

Knowing that the flames don't work on me, Enns screams in frustration, but I don't care, I [release] it.

'Wow, I know!　With my biggest flame, eh......hi?

The voice of the evil spirit of the self-proclaimed spirit king's evil spirit comes out of his mouth, a somewhat dumb and careless question. In the corner of his gaze, a huge, self-proclaimed evil god with a ridiculously long nose and a bipedal walker is kneeling.

"Oh!　My great venerable Lord!　I am extremely pleased that you have summoned a garbage bug like me.

The self-proclaimed evil gods who kneel down on one knee and hang their heads at me. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm a self-proclaimed trash beetle because I'm too well educated.

I'm going to have to educate that evil spirit. I'm in trouble for saying that I'm the Spirit King and all that nonsense.

The self-styled Spiritual King, who was still crunching and moving his mouth like a fish on land, the self-styled evil demon Gili Mekara turned his three eyes to the self-styled Spiritual King, who was still crunching and moving his mouth like a fish on land. The self-proclaimed spirit king's entire body twitched like a baby rabbit with just that gesture.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more fun.　Unacceptable!　Unforgivable!　I can't overlook that.

It is not a good idea to be a good friend, but it is a good idea to be a good friend.

Let's conclude. It was an overwhelming victory for Ghilimekara. Or rather, it wasn't even a match.

It wrapped itself in a dome-like black cloud to prevent its escape, and then beat the self-proclaimed evil spirit of the Spirit King to a pulp. The act of beating him to a pulp was quite vicious to ordinary people, and some of the more sensitive minds, such as Rose, fell asleep.

You're a maggot, aren't you? Isn't that right?'

Grabbing the head, Gili Mekara asks the evil spirit of the fire.

''Yes, I'm a lowly, lowly maggot! I am a lowly, lowly maggot!

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.

It's not just a matter of time before you get a chance to see it.　I would like to further educate you.

Leave it to Guilimekara. In my opinion, I want to exterminate those scum evil spirits that feed on humans as quickly as possible. But it's true that it would also be good to see the effects of the performance enhancements of the [Strikeout Diagram].

It's not a bad idea. I'm not going to be able to get rid of your rotten guts,

I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.

I checked the 【Defeating Pictorial Book】 and found a new entry for Gili Mekara, listed as [Military] Efreet.

Even the name is the same as that of the Spirit King. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get the same strength just because they have the same name. There are some. I'm sure there are people out there who are proud just because they have a strong name.

Anyway, all that's left is that sword emperor's follower, the gray boy. It's just a matter of time before you get to the top. I was completely fooled.

''Well, wait, wait, wait!　No, please wait!　It will make you--

Enns words, with both knees on the ground, desperately pleading

"Unnecessary. You've gone too far.

I interrupted his words by sending his head off with a wooden stick. Then I looked at the black robes and they all winced and shuddered.

You can't just take the sword emperor back to the empire. That's your job. If it's different--

As soon as the wooden stick is pointed at you, what appears to be a second-in-command holds the despondent Sword Emperor and begins to flee in a flash. And the black robes are also running for their lives.
