I was banished from bed with my lover by a brave man, but my 'XP Savings' skill broke and I went to level 300, so I thought I'd take a relaxing, heartbreaking trip.

Ios, who was supposed to be defeated, raised his mouth sharply.

However, it is a little different from the previous time.

The left arm prosthesis with a different design is so different that even an amateur can see it. The clothes wrapped under the cape were fine, but they were so calmly shaded that they were unlikely to be his hobby.

"I'm not here to fight. I just happened to see you, so I came to say hello.”

"Where's the guarantee that you won't come?"

"That's a good point." But I really don't want to fight. I see... how about I tell you something about that black monster? "

I often get around to thinking.

Does he know anything about it?

What are you after? What bothered me was how I survived that battle.

I have so many questions for you.

The maple trembles and clings to my arm.

"The level is 580,000..."

Astonished at the numbers.

What's going on? The numbers are too different from last time.

You think you've leveled up in such a short period of time?

Or was it disguised?

Ios laughs angrily at this upset.

"Hahaha, that's a good reaction. I wanted to see that face. Before we talk, I think we need to reveal the seeds."

"Are you going to tell me...?"

"It's nothing to hide. Above all, they are often used on the battlefield."

He jumped on the bridge fence as light as a feather.

Then, as if to start a theatre, he exaggerates and shows his hands.

"In a nutshell, this guy is a shadow warrior that I made with all my heart." It was very similar, wasn't it? "

- A shadow warrior?

I'm not talking about resemblance. There were two of them.

In fact, my left arm was also a prosthetic arm, and the level was as high as a fool.

"I have an artifact that manipulates my memory." I used it to mislead him into thinking that I was his consciousness. However, that alone cannot mislead the appraiser's eyes. I've been pretending for more than 20 years to make the world realize that it's me. I don't know. It's going to be a lot of work. "

I can't speak. I can't believe I've been manipulated into a puppet for over twenty years.

I defeated a completely different person.

What the hell is this tingling feeling?

"You don't have to worry about getting sick." He was a demon king who was originally a sinner. "

"You know me, so you were there?"

"Even when I was watching it." "To love the eggs I desperately resist with my own eyes." That said, it went a little too far. I didn't expect that kind of drastic behavior. No matter how much shape you try to resemble, there seems to be a difference in the essence. "

Eos smiles deeply, saying, "Flowers are what I love with my eyes without touching them."

That's the point. I'll tell you about the black monster.

Your throat rattles.

Not only me, but also Maple and Frau seemed nervous.

"That was the clown I had." I should say the shadow warrior had it, to be exact. I noticed at first sight that it has an ugly presence. "

"Can you tell me more clearly?"

Very well, that black and white weapon is a forbidden weapon of ancient consciousness.

A forbidden weapon?

What do you mean you're living the consciousness of an ancient species?

Ios said not to panic.

"It was one of the weapons developed by my faction." It was expected to perform well for a while, but it was later discovered to be a difficult substitute to control, and it should have been sealed multiple times to make him sleep. "

He keeps talking.

"It dives into the roots of the owner over time and takes over." No, it's not a sloppy story to take over. It will be completely captured and become part of it. "

Is it because Sein's assimilation was progressing?

I'm curious as to why the forbidden weapon that ancient species feared was in Lisa's possession, but I have to ask what to do now.

Isn't there a weakness?

"No. It will come back to life in whatever form it takes if it doesn't perish." But that doesn't mean we don't stand a chance. Your holy weapon is the trump card. "

Is this it?

I touched the handle of the Great Sword.

I had never met anyone who knew the sacred armour since I came to another continent.

Does Eos know anything about this? If so, please tell me.

“They were weapons once used by ancient species themselves. But when the war ended, it was sealed tightly. I didn't hear it firsthand, but even the ancient species must have had enough. and its overpowering performance."

"The weapon used by the ancient species..."

"Eggs and dogs probably didn't tell me anything back then. Because they're afraid, too. Their true form will bring chaos to this peaceful era. I think you'll enjoy it more than that."

"Then you can use the true power of the Holy Weapon to bury Sein...?"

I couldn't hide my surprise with the unexpected.

Was this weapon made for the Dragon Man by the Dragon Man?

I get used to being weird with reason.

It seems to be sealed now, but if we can solve it, we can beat the one with the ridiculous ability to regenerate.

The only thing that bothers me is that Ios, who was supposed to be an enemy, told me that he was fooling around.

"Why are you telling me?"

"That's a problem for me too." From now on, where we are going to travel freely and freely, the innocent people are going to desecrate our destinations. "

Aren't you the king of travel?

"I'm tired of seeing it like this." It's been an unbearable pain staying on the throne for hundreds of years. That's why I thanked you for taking out the Shadow Warrior. Now I'm clear and free. "

When you get bored, it's like throwing away a toy in a country.

It's not good for the world to let this one go wild. We should get rid of it here.

In an instant, I swung my sword and swung it at Eos.

But he was already jumping backwards.

“I'll see you when I get the chance. Destiny child."

Damn it.

With an unstoppable smile, he disappeared into the forest below.

Birds fly all at once in the noise.

Did you let him get away?

You're a child of destiny. Someone who doesn't like the look on his face.

But I had too much blood on my head, too.

To forget the difference in levels and be slashed... I have to reflect.

Do you want to go after him?

"I'll leave you alone for now. You won't stand a chance."

"The ancient demon king is not alarmed, is he?" I can't believe he's still alive. "

She said she didn't have a chance, but I hope she won't see me again.

◇

It took me a few days to see the end of the bridge.

The road continues from where it came down to the ground.

Perhaps because of the proximity of the city, there are decaying stone statues on both sides of the road to entertain the eyes of those who go. Perhaps the ancient people had inflated their hearts with the expectation of the capital while seeing these things.

Pione, running side-by-side on horses, called out.

"I think adventurers from other countries are coming ahead." Sein's crusade is going to pay an incredible amount of money. ”

It's a chance for a thousand dollars.

"I think there are places where the army is moving." Every country is putting Sein at risk. I don't want you to fight with the regular army if you can. "

When it comes to diplomatic issues.

That sounds like a funny story.

See you in the Sein Contest.

He was unpopular, but now he's a big rewarder.

As a nation, it would also serve the purpose of clearing the public's anger. Moving the army means that much damage has been done.

By the way, this center is a blank zone that doesn't belong to any country.

It seemed that the ancient demon kings had arranged that. So even if the armies of other countries invade, there will be no problem.

We then walked through the huge walls, through the meadows where countless swords stood, and through the woods where the remnants of the original golem covered in moss rolled.

And to the ancient seed capital.

A group of decaying ancient buildings. Collapsed walls and roofs, stone statues and columns scraped by rainstorms. Giant skeletons lay everywhere, as did the giant original golems. It seems that the ancient city was unbelievably large. We're still on the brink here.

Driving away the monsters that came out, we headed for the back of the ruins.

"--Water?"

The more you aim for the center, the more puddles you'll find.

It gradually increases in number and ends up like walking in a shallow pond. So we abandoned the carriage and decided to go with our feet.

We will arrive at the center of the ruins in no time.

I don't think it's over yet.

There was a large lake in front of us, and in the center of it was an island covered with greenery.

Countless ruins appeared from the surface of the water, and it seemed possible to cross over to the other side as a rock.

I peered into the water. It seems that the water level is not that deep. However, it seemed better to avoid swimming around as fish and waterfall monsters settled in the area.

Looking around, you can see a group of adventurers and knights from other countries.

It seems that all of them were meant for Sein.

"Thor and the others came here for a different purpose."

Well, that's right.

We'll find Sein ourselves, so go ahead.

I agree with Pione's suggestion.

I think there's something on that island that my mother wanted to tell me.

Somehow, I feel like my consciousness is being pulled over there. It's like they're saying, "Come on, come on."

Takigi pushed his back.

"If you have an errand, I'll finish it right away." I'll leave it to Oila and the others. "

“I'm sorry, I'll be back as soon as I can.”

"I'm sorry if I confronted you first."

"... take Pione and the others away if it becomes dangerous."

In my words, he has a serious expression: "If the commander orders."
