"Is this young man? The ability to seal the intrinsic skills of the Demon God"

The demon god Butler called Orkeanos seems to know what Ias is capable of. Originally, it was grasped by the army where Ias was, so naturally...

"While I'm buying time, your lords must flee!

"You can't do that!

That's what Ias said and got out in front of Butler.

"Stupid drooling! You want to die!?

Ias is not the kind of person who sacrifices others for himself. What he wouldn't pull was a natural course of action from me for a long time.

"Did you say Ias............ Your abilities are interesting. So what is the effective range of that ability?

Orkeanos rode the back of the bird and rose again to the sky.

I wonder if you've taken a certain distance from us, something sounds from downstream of the river. The water of the river increases, and the water overflowing from the river ascends into the sky.

The water, which eventually took the form of a giant serpent enough to block (whisper) the light of day, is turning its head this way to intimidate us.

"The waters of the sea are refluxing the river! That's what he's capable of."

Orkeanos waves down his high, lifted hand. The serpent, which had stopped over the sky, came down with momentum in our sights.

Farewell, old friend.

Before the water of great mass, we stood without exchanging. The moment the serpent tried to hit him directly...

"What!?

The domed space will be blocked and the water snake will disappear. Butler and Orkeanos also seemed surprised by this.

"Stupid... manipulating seawater is not an ability, but water strikes directly as a result of events... not an ability!

Ias himself is perplexed by Butler's words.

"This is... more than I expected. I seem to have underestimated you. The power to decide that there wasn't even a phenomenon caused by unique skills... this is worse for me."

A giant bird with an orkeanos turned its back on us.

"Now I'm going to get this one ready. I'll see you around, Butler. And Ias."

With that said, the weirdo flies away into the eastern sky.

"Thanks......?

Yes, Ias said, and I also sat on the spot relieved of tension.

"I'm not going to fight them forever. Are you sure you're ready for that!

"... where you want it, Mr. Butler."

Ias answers forcefully.

"I, too, will do whatever I can. And I'm ready."

Thus began the battle against the demon gods, which lasted four years.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

I stared at my sword. To the Black Knight...... did a man named Ias have such a past? You can't be half ready to use this sword.

Speaking of which, the Black Knight used to call this sword the King's Sword, but when I appraised it, it was labeled Excalibur.

'Perhaps the most appropriate name in this world is indicated. We don't know who the king is when we appraise him. "

You mean the display of the appraisal is not absolute...

"So... what happened after that?

I encouraged the conversation to continue. I know that never came a bright future. But I wanted to know what happened to Ias and Butler.

"I don't think it's much different from your imagination..."

Larses laughs bitterly.

"We killed seven of the twelve" god generals ”who were there at the time, rendering four incapable of fighting. In a world ruled by demons, it's impossible. '

"Well, with the Demon King..."

"Oh, we're finally going to face the Demon King in person. But the last time Orkeanos stood up, he couldn't bring it into the one-on-three schematic with the Demon King. Butler held me back from Orkeanos while we fought the Demon King."

Larses stood down and cut off his words.

"Ias' ability seals all the abilities of the Demon King, and his sword approaches his throat. The golem I summoned also assisted Ias...... but the Demon King was too powerful without ability '

The look on Larses's face clouds to remind me of something.

"The sword of all might unleashed by Ias blurred the cheeks (cheeks) of the Demon King, and scratched only (not). The Demon King pierces the heart of Ias with a sword to return, lifting it high with one hand. I can't stop thinking about the footage of Ias being skewered."

I was speechless when I heard about the spectacular past of the Black Knight who fought me. Even the Black Knight, who was so strong, told the Demon King that it was best to scratch one scratch?

"Ias is enchanted without decay in his body, and his soul is bound for ever. Butler also lost his battle against Orkeanos, turning him into an undead by the immortal curse placed on his body '

"Undead......"

"You must have met him before"

"No way... the” immortal king ”who was in Tokyo!?

Lasse snorted silently. I was shocked. Though I didn't know, I can't believe I was killing Razez's people...

"... sorry"

'There's nothing you need to apologize for. (Torah) I was imprisoned by the demons, and they freed my companions, who had been made eternal slaves. I just want to thank you. "

Larses smiles, but I feel complicated.

"Then I fled with my life, and I fled into this” Labyrinth of Dimensions ”to shake off my chase. That was a pitiful story hundreds of years ago."

"Hundreds of years!?

'Yes, it was a long time ago. And I will be doing research to defeat the Demon King in this ”Labyrinth of Dimensions”. Initially, I took the material out of the "infinite storage" magic props that I had, but gradually I was able to interfere with the outside world. "

Larses explained to me about the magic props and ingredients he was using, and the golems he was using as his hands and feet.

"And you will notice the changes that have taken place in the world of demons."

"Change?"

"They have decided to abandon their world altogether and invade your world in different dimensions."

"How could you do that... Reason?"

'I don't even know the details. But I'm pretty sure he was in a hurry'

Were you in a hurry? In the other world, demon gods are supposed to be absolute rulers. Yet I can't believe I was in a hurry... is there something?

"I saw this as a one-of-a-kind opportunity. I've decided to execute a plan that I thought was better than before."

"Was that that chatter?

'That's right. It's about choosing subjects from people in your world, giving them their abilities, and having them confronted by demons. "

By choice, you mean Gacha didn't just show up by accident?

"How could it have been me?

'There are two reasons. One is that you have a certain amount of magic, very few people in your world have magic.' Cause I can't use my magic props without some magic. '

"You had magic on me...... what's the second?

"You're a character. I've been observing who I am for a long time because it doesn't make sense if I'm not someone who really fights for people."

"You've been observing me?

"There were several candidates, and you were watching them at the same time."

You've been watching me, I kinda hate it.

"If there were any other candidates, what was the reason you ended up being me?

"You are a very popular person. When the man in the wheelchair was stuck on the sidewalk, he'd have been stuck in another car trying to help, wouldn't he?

Speaking of which, that happened... about 2 years ago.

'When I saw that one, I laughed. And it was also the moment I wanted to be this young man'

"Are you sure about that?

"... you looked like Ias somewhere."

Larses smiles with a calm look. Listen to me. I know how Gacha showed up before me. But there's something I don't know.

"Why did you do something so roundabout letting me pull the chatter? Wouldn't it have been nice to give it to me normally?

'That was pretty funny, wasn't it?

"No, tell me the truth!

'I'm kidding. Even if I gave you all kinds of power at once, you wouldn't have been able to use it. I was going to give it to you little by little as you grew up. "

"So you made it 10,000 yen at a time?

"For the most part, I made 10,000 yen thinking about the pace of money you could spend. But you're going to pull more capsules than I expected... '

"Gacha had something I pulled and another one, didn't he?

There must have been a "weapon chatter” that Leo and the others were using.

'No, there were all three things I had prepared. Create a hero to defeat the Demon King. "Gacha of Ability." Many people fight the Demon King's army. "Gacha of Weapon Armor." "Gacha of Items."

Three? There was so much...

'But I guess you're the only one who can say it worked. The person who pulled the weapon protective equipment was killed and flowed to unintentional people. People then dispose of their weapons to counter the forces of the demon gods with their own hands. This is also an unexpected event. "

"After all, you mean that weapon was essential?

'No, starting with you, the minded have begun to build weapons and tools to counter unknown threats. I think we can replace the weapons and protective equipment that we lost.'

What I've been preparing for wasn't in vain. I was just a little bit relieved to find that out.

I installed "item chatter” in Angola. There's a particularly magical girl here who gave me my magic prop "prophetic ring” but failed to sound the alarm. "

"Right...... How are the demons going to invade the world?

'First, after sending in demons and ”beasts of the divine" to reduce the number of people in your world, I intend to lead the great army into invasion. The demon gods are no different from the common soldiers in this world anyway. You wanted to sharpen your enemy's power.'

"What can I do to stop it?

"We have no choice but to defeat the Demon King. No matter how many other demon gods you defeat, as long as you have a demon god king, you will be created as much as you want '

"So if I defeat the Demon King, the world will return to normal."

"You can't beat the Demon King."

"Huh?"

I was surprised that Larses assured me.

"I created you because you are nothing but a degraded version of the Demon King."
