"Is that a demon? There really are horns. Your body is huge."
As soon as I got the report, I went out near the border with the woods that spread north of Vulcania.
I also thought that the soldiers might have reported the emergence of some powerful enemy as "demons".
But it seems different.
It really seemed like a demon was coming out of the woods, as reported.
He is taller than a man, and his whole body is covered with tight muscle armor, and his head is stretched out with horns.
Somehow, it is reminiscent of a monster called Augur that comes out of the story.
However, reports indicate that the Vulcan Knight did not take any damage when he launched the [Ice Spear].
The defense alone was higher than that of the big pig, and it was expected that he would have terrible strength from his appearance.
We will have to decide that this is dangerous to leave to others.
"Lord Ars, it may be a legendary creature passed down to this land."
"What do you mean, Gran? A legendary creature?
"That's not true. Are you aware of the story of a big pig that was damaged and failed when we were exploring this forest? But there are other variations to that story."
"Heh, I didn't know. Perhaps the fact that a demon came out of the forest instead of a big pig caused the abandonment of pioneering?
"That's right. I would also like you to think about it, Lord Ars. If only the big pigs really came out of the woods, wouldn't the knights of the time have dealt with it with attack magic? I don't think it's a mistake to think that there was someone whose attack magic didn't work."
"I see. Maybe the demon is the predator of the big pig. I wonder if that's why the big pig came out of the forest more and more, and chased it and chased the demon."
"Well, that doesn't matter, Ars. I'm going to get rid of that demon."
"Oh, wow. You're not going to fight with me, Gran. Nothing, but why are you so excited?
"What are you talking about, Ars? If we can get the material from that demon, we may be able to create something new again. It's not like you're not excited."
Gran next to me watching a demon with binoculars from a distance is breathing heavily.
I see.
So you're excited?
Well, that's fine.
I can't stand still outside at a time when the temperature is falling.
After I dropped my binoculars, I rode on Valkyrie and ran to the demon.
Ice Spear
Crossing the Valkyrie, he approaches the demon at the top speed and casts attack magic.
I heard the report, but I tried to see if the magic really didn't work for me.
Ice pillars as thick and as long as human arms emerge from my palm and are fired.
The ice spear hit the demon body with no aim.
"It's really not working."
A demon guarding an [ice spear] that flew with two arms raised like logs.
There was no scratch on the Mukimuki's body.
The big pig was also very durable, but I still feel it's more than that.
The demon attacked me and counterattacked me.
"Graaaaaaa"
A loud demon.
Then, the musculoskeletal bulging body became even bigger.
The muscles in your body are booming with a razor sound.
Somehow, the muscles turned into metal armor.
Then he shook down his stiff arm with a roar and released a punch.
Pretty fast, but when Valkyrie quickly avoided, the punch cut through the sky and hit the ground.
Dogon!!
and the ground where the punch hit fell into a huge bow.
Is it as powerful as a punch?
If you eat such a thing on your body, you won't be able to swallow it.
There was a scary one close to me.
Well, how about this one?
The demon who hit the ground rushed back to where he was waking up.
This time it's a closer attack than before.
I attacked the Kuo sword in my hand with magic.
Instead of Magic Injection , I control my magic and pour more magic into the Nine Tails Sword than usual.
But it doesn't work as well as I thought.
I've been trying a lot since then to see if I can get a black sword out to the Kuo Sword, like the pesh that was said to be the next owner of Uluk.
But simply pouring a lot of magic into it doesn't seem to make any sense.
The result was simply that the length of the flaming sword would only grow longer than usual.
Apparently, the output of the Nine Tails Sword and Thundercracker Sword is higher than when only Magic Injection is poured with more magic, but there seems to be an upper limit.
It seems that the Nine Tails Sword does not produce a black sword when all the magic is exerted, and thunder swords cannot be used to shoot down lightning.
I really think it would have been better if I could use the black wig.
Well, there's nothing you can do about it.
Observe the attacking demon while verifying the Nine Tails Sword like this.
Apparently, this demon didn't do much damage to the flaming sword of the nine-tailed sword.
He may have physical abilities comparable to those of the human class.
Therefore, I used a different magic sword after using the Kuo sword once.
I got the Iron Sword Gran Barca I named.
It is a Japanese sword made from the teeth of a large porcine cub and raised by Valkyrie and me with a lot of magic.
A magical sword that was originally a small weapon of the size of a small sword by the magic it captured, grew to its own length and turned into a sword shape.
The characteristic is just that it is difficult to break and easy to cut.
"Graaaaaaa"
"Shotgun"
As he approached the demon with his slash iron sword, he again shifted to an offensive posture and shook his arm wide and hit him.
The punch is likely to do a lot of damage even if it's just a scratch.
So I cast Shotgun magic around my eyes and attacked the demon's eyes.
Unlike the skin, the demon also felt painful when the stone entered his eyes.
I can feel it in a flash.
I quickly approached there and saw an attack with a slashing iron sword.
The response was so light that it sounded like spa.
The demon's body was damaged completely by attack magic and the attack of the Kuo Sword.
Apparently, with this iron sword, the attack would have been successful.
"Yes, that's it."
Then he repeated the same attacks several times and succeeded in cutting off the neck of the demon.
As expected, even demons with tough flesh are not safe when their bodies are cut from neck to neck and bottom.
I managed to successfully crush the demon.
"Congratulations, Ars. Now, that demon will be brought back to me responsibly."
"Come early, Gran. Now, look. Thank you very much."
"I didn't ask you to, Ars. I apologize to Vulcania for this. I hope that Ars will continue to work hard to eliminate demons."
"... yes? You still got demons?
"Of course not. Do you think Ars thinks this is the only demon in this vast forest? That can't be right."
"Wait a minute, Gran. He's the only demon out of the woods, isn't he? Don't you have to kill the demons who might be living in the woods?
"That's not how it works. The fact that it came out once may mean that the forest border and the demon's residence are close. If so, the residents will be anxious not knowing when the demon will emerge next. Then it is only natural to know where the demon lives and to destroy the demon that lives there."
"Maybe I'll do it? Looking for the demons and killing them?
"... on the contrary, who else but Lord Ars can take care of that demon?
You're kidding me.
I'm busy seeing things like this.
But, yes, Gran is right, the others could be killed with no hands or feet.
I can't help it.
I'll invite my part-time brother to explore the woods.
Thus, despite defeating the demon that appeared in Barca, the demon problem was still not over.
