I Became Peerless After I Threw My Whole Paycheck at a Real-Life Gacha

Going downstairs with Larses was a hierarchy of light green crystals.

Walk towards the stone pillar in the center of that floor. There were several golems in the shape of people near the stone columns and they were quietly nestled.

He's about a meter to two meters long.

Larses stopped and looked up and there was a person in the crystal. You look serene as if you are sleeping with your eyes closed.

"Is this your body?

'Oh, I did this to live a long time. My body can't move or go outside... forever'

Have you spent all this time in a cave where no one is...

"Why are you here? There's got to be a reason."

'That's right......... what shall we start with?'

Larses thought for a moment and then looked me in the eye and started talking.

"First, my friend... let's talk about the one you called the Black Knight."

"You know about the Black Knight?

'I know you well. Do you know his real name?

Black Knight's Name......? You were labeled at the time of the appraisal...

"Was it Hubris?"

'No, that's not his real name.' Hubris' means disrespectful. The demons mocked him. "

Larses was faceless, but his eyes seemed angry.

"His name is Ias, the man who was called a hero in our world"

After saying that, Larses approaches me and shifts her eyes to the Excalibur she was lowering to her waist. He had some nostalgic eye.

"I went to all sorts of fights with that sword...... it's going to be a little long story but will you listen to me"

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Again."

"I hear a parent and child were killed in the square... Was it the demon god's family who did it? No one can complain."

"Well, that's a story."

... Once upon a time, in the world I was in, there was a being called a "demon god” who ruled the general public. Demon gods are considered the superior species of man and are known to possess superordinary powers.

”Demon King” reigns at the top of that demon god.

He was king of the world and God. I've only heard rumors about it, and I've never seen it happen in a mediocre person like me.

What we know clearly is that we are the only ones capable of many (and again) abilities and able to evolve people into demons.

I lived with him in that world.

"What's going on? With a dark face."

"Oh, Ias"

When I was sitting on a bench in the shade outside the research facility, it was my friend Ias who spoke up brightly.

At the time, I worked in a city laboratory called Agarta [Alchemist], and Ias was a [Magic Warrior] working in the military, both of whom belonged to an organization under the control of the Demon God.

"Is the research not working again?

"It's the usual thing. I can't help but be depressed."

Ias and I have been close since we were kids, and we had an unreserved story to cheer up and encourage each other.

It was a world where oppression lay, but the two always talk about their dreams. My dream is that research be allowed and inventions be made that make people's lives a little better.

Ias' dream is to become a demon god from the civilian population, to get territory and to make the people who live there happy.

"You could be. Because there's a sword arm no one can beat."

"What are you talking about? Larses is a genius. The only thing I can't admit is that your boss doesn't have eyes. You're doing a lot of useful inventions."

Ias was acknowledging my talent more than anyone.

"Thank you. I'm just glad you said that. Looks like Ias is blessed with his superiors."

"My immediate superiors aren't demons or their families, but they know what I'm capable of and they appreciate it. But I don't think you should tell the big guy."

"That's right..."

Ias' ability to hold was special. It means you can seal the unique skills of everyone else if you want.

That looks more like an ability to defeat a demon god than an ability to become one.

Normally, few people have unique skills, so if you want to be recognized, it's something that actively appeals to your abilities, but Ias can't do that.

"Well, fine! I have a sword. If you become a demon and you can manage a large territory or city, I'll pull you up, Lars."

Positive Ias always cheered me up.

I'm looking forward to it.

It could be absurd if someone else hears it. But at that time, we had no basis in believing that we would be able to make it happen one day.

Such a fold (discharge), a case occurs.

A member of the demon god's family broke out in a tavern and several people were seriously injured. They had tremendous power, though not necessarily the same demon god even within the body of the demon god.

He acts tyrannically in the management of the city's operations, wearing a cloth that his relatives are demons.

In Agarta, where we live, it was particularly remarkable.

"Stop it!"

"Oh? What. A soldier in the city."

Three soldiers, including Ias, rush to the scene. In this world a soldier in the army assumed the role of police.

When I see it, even the child is covered in blood and falling. Looks like a five-man young man had been drinking in the city liquor store since daylight.

"I will restrain you."

"Hey! Aias, this is no good"

"Oh, their opponent is the son of a demon god who rules this city. You shouldn't be able to rub it here."

Soldiers other than Ias were afraid to touch the wrath of the demon gods and were trying to miss the youths. But Ias...

"Their actions are clearly in touch with national law. You can't miss it."

Serious enough to be silly, Aias could not forgive the general public, nor the relatives of the demon gods who even laid their hands on their children.

"Whoa, that's scary. Looks like they're gonna get us."

"Well, if you can do it, do it."

The drunk man points his sword at Ias.

"If you're gonna apologize, I'll forgive you."

I can't find a reason to apologize.

"Let it soak!" That said the man, waving his sword wide up, slashed towards Ias.

Ias gently clawed his sword and punched him in the face with a back fist. I break many teeth and fly to the store wall.

As the two remaining men also had blood on their heads, they came to Ias, but Ias controlled everyone with his bare hands and took them straight to the city detention center.

Ias just did his job, but this became a big problem.

Ias will be relieved of his position and cautious in unprecedented events, such as arresting and detaining the family of the demon god.

"I thought you were depressed, but you look fine"

You looked (not) for the army dorm where Ias lived, and you spoke to him as he was reading the book as he lay on the bed in the room.

"There's nothing to be depressed about, Lasse. I just followed the laws of the country."

"If you don't do it a little better, you won't have to let them quit the army."

"You know my character, don't you? Even if you're quitting the army, you can't forgive what you can't."

Thought there would be some discipline, but things go in the worst direction.

I was going to the Imperial Capital, and I was furious when I heard about Ias when the demon god who ruled this city was coming back. Instead of discipline, the demon god makes up the proper crime and orders the execution of Ias.

It's a bad idea to execute people publicly to make them look like they're around.

Demon gods also have ranks, demon gods said to be "god generals” at the top, and those responsible for governance and other tasks as subordinate demons.

Many lay evil government as much as the lower demons, and the demon gods of Agarta were especially terrible.

Ias said he had no regrets because it was the result of what he did, but I'm not convinced.

The day of Ias' public execution is set, and I rush to the execution venue to help Ias. If I can help you, this is the only day.

Shackled in the back of his hand, Ias came up on the execution bench. An executioner with an axe to slash his neck awaits.

A large number of people had gathered to come to the venue even to the demon god and his son.

Floating with ridicule, it's like having fun at an event. I travel as I draw the crowd to where I can see the execution bench.

Ias knelt (on his knees) on the platform, blindfolded, and seemed to wait quietly for the time when his sentence would be executed.

I release into the venue a small worm-shaped demonic prop made of demonic crystals.

Worm-shaped demonic props fly around the square and attach to executioners and soldiers guarding the venue. It minimizes the ability to kill and creates massive smokescreens.

When the explosion occurs, the execution site becomes havoc and the surrounding side is covered with white smoke.

And I went to Aias in the gap, and removed the shackles.

"What are you doing, Larses!

"I can't let you die."

"If you do this, you can't just do it! You know what I mean!?

I do lose everything in my life, my job, and if I get caught, I will be executed. That doesn't make me a reason to kill my best friend.

"Let's run away together, Ias!

A shock runs on my back as the two of us stand up and try to escape. I stop and kneel on the spot.

"Larses!!

Apparently, he was slashed from behind.

Looking at Ias, they say my wounds are deep. What I did when I was ready to do something like this... I had no regrets.

I hear the conversation of Ias in my fading consciousness. Apparently it was the demon god Morek who was coming to this venue who slashed me.

"You thought you could get away with it? The sinner!"

"Xama......!

Ias picks up the sword I brought him and turns to face the demon god Morek.

"Not if it's just me. If you want to kill me until you make up your sins, kill me. But I will never forgive you for putting your hands on my friends!

"Forgive me? Are you telling me that human flair is going to turn its teeth on me when I'm told that it's a" steel demon "? Make me laugh."

Molek took advantage of the giant and was slashed by Ias from above.

Ias gently waves up his sword.

Then Morek's hands, holding the sword, dance through the universe. For a moment, Morek, who did not know what had happened, shouted after a while.

"Gaaaaaaaaaa! What!? What's happening? Where did my hands go!!

Blood erupts from both arms, and Morek lags behind.

"Why? You can't kill my steel body with a sword...... what the hell are you!?

"A great man like you doesn't know what a soldier like me is capable of."

Ias slowly approached Morek and poked his sword at him.

"Ma...... wait! If you kill me, it's outrageous..."

"Dimensional Slash!!

When Ias' unmistakable sword killed the demon god, the two contemplative dreams disappeared. And I can have a new goal. A world without demons.

That's why we left the city of Agarta.
