─ ─ Near Fort McCard Imperial Bond (a fort occupied by the Demons) ─

Currently, Ryudo was coming to Fort Bond for reconnaissance, in the name of the Conquest Corps. Fort Lilib's defense is left to Pearl Castle and Aoi.

Mountain next to Fort Bond. In the woods, the dragon dogs were lurking. Spread beneath your eyes is a bunch of demons headed by Skeleton. I can assume it is the main formation on the devil's side. And...

"... of that person type"

"That horn...... you're a demon. At this distance, we can't tell what kind."

There were demons as well as demons. It is also multiple.

"It wasn't just the summoner..."

"Even after the occupation of the fort, the number of demons has grown, and we may have overlooked the intrusion of the Demons"

The information that Ryudo and the others had was that one demonic summoner broke in and called in many demons. In this case, as long as you kill the summoner, the demonic masses will collapse naturally. It was also the purpose of this reconnaissance to explore the Summoner's Demon Clan, as it is unclear which of the two occupied fortifications they are in. But the fact that the Demon Nation is not alone means the existence of a Demon Nation other than the Summoner.

This, in the sense of considering the war situation, was a great deal of information. In Demons and Demons, the digits of power you have are different. It varies from magic to magic, but the Demon Nation is a place where leading adventurers can finally defeat each other.

The deputy captain asks Ryudo.

"Master Lut. Do you want to ambush or retreat in the sense of restraint from here?"

"Deputy captain. Which one do you think is better?

"It depends on Master Leut. I have not yet measured Master Lewt's strength, while I am overstepping him. From Master Lewt's point of view, if Master Lewt is intact and sure to be able to ambush him, we should do it."

"Right..."

Ryudo observes the main formation. There are three demons. Its placement. Demonic formation. In view of all this. Dragon Dou doesn't know the strength of the Demon Clan. Because we've never confronted each other directly. But from what I've heard, I can deduce that even the lower demons have the same physical abilities as the brave ones. Assuming the superior is more than five times stronger, and the three demons under the tree are even more superior.

"... can kill. At least one demon tribe in front of you will be sure to kill him."

"... it's a boulder"

The deputy captain leaves a breath of admiration in the affirmation that makes him feel neither fearful nor anxious.

"Then let's ambush. We can also storm the demon army and do it if it's as good as a yang..."

"You're afraid of tracking after an ambush. Even if I do one, I still have two demons. Hopefully that one over there will stop the tracking hand, but probably not. They'll be poking right in. The destination will be you guys who are on the move. I want to avoid that. I'll be able to kill you if I go in alone, so I'll attack and retreat without the other two demons realizing it."

"Shall we?"

"When you retreat, retreat into the woods for me. Just in case I can't retreat from the demon herd, cover me and make my way out."

Copy that, sir.

"Oh no... you've been talking a lot of funny stories."

"Who is it?"

"'Breaking the Limits'!

The knights of the Conquest immediately look back to their voices and set up their swords. What did the deputy captain do and Ryudo activated the escort?

It was the bird of bones who was speaking out. A bird bone the size of an owl moves like a skeleton.

'You're responding fast. Is it elite? Or is this the average?

"I hear who it is. Answer me."

'Please don't rush me. I'd like to talk to you guys slowly. Brave man? Is your protection a "limit breaker"? It is.'

"Answer in two seconds. Or I'll kill you."

"Kukukuku...... I'm Neon. This bird is my demon. Attacking this bird is pointless because I'm intact. '

"You know what? Neon and I did. Are you a demon?

"That's right."

The moment he heard the affirmative response, the deputy captain waved the sword he had erected. But shortly before it was slashed, Neon's user-demon avoided winging it.

'It's dangerous. I told you I was on my way.'

"On the way?

"Yep. Again, I'm Neon. Lord Heliu's direct escort, Noble, comes first. I'm the summoner you're looking for."

Everyone on the spot took a breath. The point is to make contact with the General in this battle, and that information was given.

"This user demon can fly to a pretty wide range, so hey. You don't know whether I'm at Fort Bond or Fort Edgeburg. Hey. Kukukuk '

"What's your purpose?"

"Kukukuku......"

To Ryudo's inquiry, the bonebird laughs happily again. Ryudo didn't see the purpose of Neon. Through his demons, Neon deliberately releases all information to himself, the enemy. If you want to get information about the dragon dogs, it should be enough when the dragon dogs activate their protection by speaking up. You just have to leave immediately or be slashed quietly without giving any information.

(Are you craving further information...... or are you just an idiot)

"Shall I introduce my men at last? Yes, he's a demon on the battlefield."

(... Seriously, is that the latter?

Looking around, the knights other than Ryudo seemed to think so. Though it's flying in the air, it's not impossible to attack it at this altitude. Not attacking a bonebird here now means we're trying to get as much information from Neon as we can.

Even the first deputy captain's attack looked like a dragon duo, as if it was attenuating. From the beginning, the knights were trying to get information from the foolish devils.

"Magnes, Natuli, Oxy, and Florin. The four of them are my best men."

Four? Is one more at Fort Edgeburg...?

There are three demons on the battlefield who can confirm it from here. If Neon's words are correct, there must be one more. Ryudo had a bad feeling.

'Kukukuku... Speaking of which, I forgot. Florin is not here. He was sending me to Fort Lilib. "

"What!?

In other words, they had already sent demons to the headquarters of the McCard Imperial Army.

That's when the deputy captain reacted to something. Take it out and show it to Ryudo.

"It's..."

"Master Lut. From Fort Lilib, it's a signal of an emergency."

The Demon Stone, a one-way communication magic tool, was cracked. This meant that there was an impending emergency level crisis in Fort Lilib.

'Kukukuku...... apparently, your men did a good job. I have to reward you.'

"Shut up."

Ryudo let the bone bird eat the slaughter. Gusha, and the demon of Neon, who made a noise and was destroyed, disappears and disappears to dissolve in the air.

"Master Lewt."

"Retreat. I'm heading to Fort Lilib at full speed."

"Ha. Immediately"

"No. Don't you guys go to Fort Lilib. We're all three forts away... right. Head north to the back of the mountain. Create a lurking base there."

"... I see we have to catch up with Master Lewt"

The existence of the Conquest is already known to Neon. The Demons were sent and could have been attacked. And Ryudo intends to use 'Breaking the Limits' to the best of his ability and return to Fort Lilib. No matter how many horses I used or all the magic armor I could use, there was no way the knights could catch up to it.

It is risky for the knights to relate to the Demons without the presence of Dragon Dou. If the knights go to Fort Lilib, and Neon reads it and sends the devil tribe, total annihilation is imperative except for Dragon Dou. If so, it was Ryudo's decision that we should leave the battlefield itself promptly and lurk.

"So should we raise the wolf smoke while leaving the base when we hear from the one-way communication device?"

"No, I'll probably arrive at Fort Lilib before I build a base. If you're going to turn up wolf smoke, don't be on the move. Get ready."

Copy that, sir.

All knights begin their action with a response from the deputy captain.

Cracked is one one-way communication magic tool. There are two other demonic stones when another knight has them. Further, if this breaks, we are contacting you that a deadly level of crisis is imminent. Conversely, it means Fort Lilib is in imminent crisis but still holding up.

Whether it's an emergency or a lethal level changes the behavior that Ryudo should take. But there's no way Ryudo has a demon stone. When Dragon Dou uses all his power to activate protection and run long distances, there is no chance that the Demon Stone will break in that clap.

Therefore, when a signal is sent to the knight announcing a fatal level of crisis, the flow is that the knight raises the wolf smoke and contacts Ryudo.

"Then I'll be going now."

"Take care"

"Neither do you." Breaking the Limits ""

Dragon Dou runs through the woods, overlapping with more protection.

"'Limit Breaking', 'Limit Breaking', 'Limit Breaking', 'Limit Breaking'"

Trees flow and the leaves of the trees on the ground dance.

Severe pain runs through the body. It is the self-destruction that the movement beyond its limits exerts on the flesh of Ryudo.

It is an equilibrium between self-destruction and bottom-up resilience.

"'Limit Breaking', 'Limit Breaking', 'Limit Breaking', 'Limit Breaking'"

Ten times in total. That's the upper limit of Ryudo's 'limit breaking' overlay. That is where the critical points of self-destruction and recovery come in. From here on, if you make a further 'limit breakthrough', you will exceed your resilience self-destructive speed.

In other words, this is the real limit of Ryudo.

Physical abilities, magic, etc. are up to about ten times higher.

(Damn... slow...)

Because of trees and other obstacles, it is really slower than full speed. That was good for Ryudo right now.

(Zhu Cheng... Aoi...)

Wishing them well, Ryudo went for Fort Lilib.

─ ─ The streets to the Doyle Federation ─

"Dear Kiri. Here's the package."

"Ho ho ho"

I grabbed my stuff and put it down where the old butler said it would be.

There, the assassination maid calls out.

"Dear Sebastian, What about this package?"

"Let me see... right. This doesn't look good, so burn it and throw it away."

"Yes, sir."

The assassination maid turns U as is.

Now we're in the middle of cleaning up. Last night's Dynamic Raid by the Demons caused the luggage to blow away. Finally, the carriage broke and the horse for the carriage fled, making it quite difficult to move on from here.

I couldn't help but gather a package that seemed safe and, with regard to the broken and irresistible, I was to burn it here and throw it away. Fortunately, the horseback riding I was riding at the Brave Party had not escaped, so I plan to carry only the luggage that I think I can carry with me.

Nevertheless, it is only a horse for people to ride and there is no decent gear to put their luggage on. You will look for a village or city as close as you can and rent a carriage there.

"Ah, Mr. Sebastian, this"

"Oh, did you find it? Good, good."

What Aaliyah found and brought was baggage wrapped in cloth. Probably pretty heavy.

The old butler spreads the cloth and checks inside.

"Looks like you're safe. Worst case scenario, you should be able to carry just this."

What was wrapped in the cloth was a set of forge tools. If this is all you have, you don't have to rely on a horse to carry it.

Honestly, if your luggage or carriage breaks to this point, the escort mission is a failure. I'm not supposed to get paid either, but the old butler has told me not to laugh and care. He said it was unexpected that such a powerful advanced demon clan would attack him. Ninglo Areya stopped attacking him and even said she wanted to thank me for attracting him and keeping the old butler safe.

I'm sorry. It's my fault. It's all my fault.

Well, I won't tell you.

By the way, after that, I was questioned quite a bit by the Brave Party. That's right. There's no way you can do something about such an obviously bad demon clan, just me and Areya. You should try it from over there.

"I lost interest and went somewhere when I found out that I was not Kaofushi Prayer Ri," he misled. The assassination maid seemed rather suspicious, but was pushed to ignore it because the community-handicapped brave believed it altogether.

The demon clan I caught in the last extravagant way was apparently the Temporary Demon King (if you're not an old man. They call his name Heliu) you think it's the intelligence he sent you? It seemed like Hema didn't give the boulders classified intelligence, but we got basic information about the demons and demon kings. I hypnotized him, so I let him go home to make him double spy.

Intelligence buddies are pretty much wiped out. You know the Cleric Demon Clan was murdered anyway, so it wouldn't be funny to say that all our intelligence men have been wiped out.

"Dear Kiri,"

"Ho?

I was just carrying my stuff again, and the old butler called me off.

Oh, my God.

"Again, thank you for last night"

"No. That's a request for an escort."

"Even at work, I don't forget to thank you."

Is that what it is? Basically, I don't appreciate it at all times. I don't know.

"So, what can I say thank you for, but could you show me the sword I made? It could be distorted in last night's battle."

"Not particularly like that, though."

The long sword that the old butler had made was no blade overflow or distortion, even after yesterday's battle was confirmed. How good is the quality?

By the way, I have spoken to the point where I used Longsword. Running off the speed of that demon clan on a boulder. Because it just stinked too much of a lie. No, it smells like a lie after all.

"Just in case. To be honest, you may be able to use the forge tools you find, and you may want to try them."

"Well, okay."

"So... Ladies and gentlemen, Kiri and I will be away for a while, so please work on it. Feel free to take a break."

The old butler said to the other guys at work. I get an acknowledgement back from each other.

"Do you want to get away from here?"

"It could make the noise louder. Now I'm going to cause you trouble."

"Ho."

Me and the old butler get out of the square and into the woods.

I went out to a place opened by the roots of a tree, even though I couldn't say it was just a square. I have an old stump.

"Shall we sit here and work? I'm too old to stand on a boulder."

Come on, just so you know, the old butler sits on the stump.

The painting of an old man in butler's clothes sitting on a stump is somehow strange.

I leave the sword I was equipped with with with the old butler. The "rule" of dark magic has already been solved.

The old butler pulled his sword out of his sheath and stared at himself.

"... Hmm. Apparently you take care of it with care, as long as you're happy to be a producer."

"Well."

Blah, blah, blah. I didn't take care of it. I think the absence of distortion or blade overflow is due to the "domination" of dark magic, but can I call that care?

"No distortion, so no problem...... I will make further adjustments once and for all"

So the old butler moves on to work. He does tasks that amateurs have no idea of, such as tapping lightly or polishing the sides with something applied to the cloth.

I saw it when I was in Japan, and it doesn't look like a blacksmith video either. Is it this world-specific method? There's magic and stuff.

In this regard, my "Weapon Training" is useful because it allows me to fly through a troublesome phase in one shot.

"Yes, it's over"

Receive the adjusted sword. Pretend to check blade overflow etc. Appraisal.

Single Blade Longsword (Author Sebastian)

Quality A + Price 23000 Dell

It's a long sword like a tweezer. Features a thick blade and a boneless look.

The quality and price go up. What kind of phenomenon makes it better than when it's new?

Besides, it's in front of Quality S... don't you mean one step ahead of the legendary weapon? Who is this old butler?

"How about that?"

"Very good... but..."

What? I'm still uncomfortable.

The discomfort is more intense and clear-cut than I remember before, and I'm complaining to you. Something is different.

Check inside with "Clairvoyance". There is no way that something is being planted.

Observe further crushing with "microscopy". But there's nothing suspicious about it.

I'll check 360 degrees with "Chirii Eye". No, it's just a long sword.

I'll take a look at it at "External View". The temperature is very normal.

"Disillusioned"... not activated. There is no appearance of illusion hanging.

I just did the "appraisal". There are no suspicious texts.

"─ Ah."

Is that so? I wonder why you didn't notice this.

No, that's why.

I took the "Dark Iron Knife" out of the shadow space, even before Sebastian saw it.

"Dear Kiri? What the hell is that?"

He asks, but he ignores. You'll know everything anyway.

I "appraise" the Black Iron Knife.

The Dark Iron Dagger Knife (Author: Kofuji Shirai)

Quality A Price 80000 Dell Ability Dark Hardened

Dark iron knife. Has the hardness and sharpness of adamantite. Beautiful black gloss and extremely high performance as a weapon.

Again. My discomfort didn't seem wrong.

I'll stick the knife to the old butler's neck.

"... what do you do, Master Kiri?

"That's a cheap play."

I may be trying to disguise myself as a rushing wind, but my voice is not really imminent. No, maybe he's not even going to act serious. You must be aware of what I've noticed.

"Hey. I have the ability to appraise weapons. You know that."

"What are you talking about?"

"We'll talk on the assumption that we know."

Otherwise, I won't be able to do this.

"When I appraise a weapon, a string written in Japanese appears in my sight. Name, manufacturer, quality, price, and detailed description. It's got all the information on it, and it's good up to the fourth. Problem is the last item"

Single Blade Longsword (Author Sebastian)

Quality A + Price 23000 Dell

It's a long sword like a tweezer. Features a thick blade and a boneless look.

"... why is this sword the only polite word?

The results of the appraisal of other items do not say "Yes". This sword is the only one with a different style.

What is the reason? First of all, there is no reason for Goddess's mistakes. If that's the case, then this sword alone (...) I can't believe it's different in style. The phenomenon doesn't happen.

Someone is faking the appraisal results. They're imitating the windows of the appraisal results, trying to override them and disguise them. Is it a coincidence match when it comes to items, did you know only the items displayed and not the styles? That's the kind of mistake someone exposed in disguise.

Then who is that "someone"? The maker of this sword is the old butler in front of him. No one is more deeply involved with this sword than that. It's only natural to assume that this old butler is faking the appraisal results.

"I didn't realize this discomfort until recently. It's supposed to be a really simple difference, but it's horrible."

"I'm sorry, Master Kiri. I don't know what you're talking about..."

"No, if you're not going to respond properly, you don't have to talk. Next time you open your mouth without permission, stab the knife in the throat"

I'll give it my best shot.

"I'm not looking for the killer by poking evidence at anything. I'm just trying to show you that I know the truth. The answer is not necessary as one. If I can let you know, that's fine."

It's not like there's any police or security forces. At least not between me and him. I just want a common perception that I can't delude you anymore. I am.

To be hostile, that's what you need.

"Hey, it was crazy from the start. It's too weird for me to believe you from the start."

Whether you were questioned by Fanatique in the Adventurer's Guild and followed through with the fallacy of misery, or when you have been invoking a request for escort to Leggin, it is too suspicious to think about it now. It's like you know my situation.

And I never doubted that. I'm weirder than anything.

"The only thing I believed unconditionally was the goddess of spinning souls and you. Besides, I have good information from the goddess. If you're a space manager, you can set that up?

Same as when you were a goddess. The goddess did not want the summoners to make a scene, so she imposed a setting on the space that would not cause distrust. I guess this guy's also imposing a setting that won't distrust me.

It's like a world-class implication. Conversely, you can't hint at me unless it's on that scale.

"Does the steward of space mean a six-pillar goddess, including the Lord God? No, on their level, they couldn't hint at me."

Ignor the Demon King taught me, the implication of the race. I know I didn't hang on to it from the beginning. This hostility of mine is what I was born with. The quality is not the same as it is acquired.

"Then who is it? You're here, right? The real administrator of this world. sealed by a six-pillar goddess, the Creator of this world."

I'm talking about why I'm here if it's sealed, but I guess I've gotten out of it some way. And if you're disguising yourself or your powers to escape their surveillance, I can explain.

The old butler, no, the Creator laughed furiously.

You don't want to hide it anymore?

"I'm gonna ask you again. Who are you?"

"... Well, who is it"

"You're not going to answer that?"

The knife is not a threat anyway. I put a knife in shadow space.

You want me to see for myself?

I put an appraisal on the presence in front of me.

I thought he was the Creator God of this world, and he was the leader of God. Is that your goddess boss?

"Why should I sit down?"

"I thought, 'What are you talking about, this guy?'"

Stop it. I'm embarrassed.

─ ─ Near Fort Lilib, the McCard Empire ─

"... I see it!

Ryudo jumped out of the mountain. Fortunately, there has been no demonic chase so far.

Through the trees, at the end of the sight that opens, is Fort Lilib.

(I still have a connection... at least the sunflowers are safe?

Ryudo confirmed further north. There is no wolf smoke. In other words, there is no reason why the situation is getting worse.

(The demon clan called Florin... I don't see it for now)

If there are demons, the battlefield should be rough. But it didn't look like there was a disturbance in the main formation of the McCard Empire.

(... that's a lot of soldiers a little outside the fort. Demons are still surrounded...)

So Ryudo realized. to the fact that no magic has been shot from the fort.

(Because there is no magic in Zhu Castle, is that all the soldiers out there for that matter... something happened to Zhu Castle...?

Ryudo had a bad feeling. At least there must have been enough "something" to send a signal of an emergency.

A demon is surrounding the fort, and there is no way out.

However, for Ryudo, whose physical abilities have increased tenfold, there is no such thing as demons. Leave it to the power to wave the Holy Sword and create a path. Running at full speed as it was, it was a moment to the gate of the fort.

"Master Lut. Get there soon. I'll open the gate immediately."

"Neuron."

Dragon Dou, who entered the fort, asks the neurons.

"Hey, what happened? Is Zhu Castle safe!?

"It's a difficult situation to say that you're safe. No trauma, normal breathing but still woke up"

"Explain what happened."

"Before that"

Neuron led Ryudo to a certain room.

It was a heavy room, where knights cemented their guardianship.

"... Dragon Dou"

"Aoi? Why are you here?"

There were sunflowers in the room. He was sitting properly on the couch, handcuffed to both of those hands.

"I don't know. Nothing... nothing..."

The sunflower stares down with a face that doesn't float.

It would be strange if she wasn't originally out on the battlefield, she's in custody in the room.

She spoke with the potatoes.

"The Demons show up, Zhu Castle, work hard with magic... then pass out..."

It was an interrupted and unpredictable explanation.

In short, a man-shaped demon clan raided Fort Lilib, but Zhu Castle magically responded. After a long battle, he led to the death of a brilliant demon clan. So Zhu Castle had an unexplained frenzy and passed out and so on.

"And it turns out that Master Tamaki has a magic similar to mental interference. The same applies to Master Aoi. Without our knowledge, it is possible that he was being mentally attacked by the Demons. It is likely that Tamaki's collapse was also caused by this."

To supplement the neuron, the sunflower shakes its head. It is an incredible thing to do, such as being hypnotized without your knowledge.

But Ryudo had an idea. I'll never forget it, it's black.

(Also...... is it you again...... Kofuji Prayer Ri!!

Hypnosis with Zhu Castle and sunflower hanging. The identity is the magic of spiritual interference applied by Prayer Ri. Ryudo sees the moment and has been called upon himself. To reach that conclusion was a story that could not be overstated. But he can't say that. As I cannot say otherwise, I am still hypnotized.

In fact, Ryudo's angry spearhead was right. The downfall factor in Zhu Castle is the recurrence of trauma that she herself could not have known, triggered by the murder of the Demons.

Prairie had gone to erase her memory, but she was a no-touch when it came to her emotions. Although there is no memory (of their assumptions, of course) of burning and killing everyone in the setting in the kingdom of Rising Sun by the magic of Zhu Castle, only the evil emotions at that time condensed and remained traumatic beyond her knowledge.

And it was disastrous that Florin, the demon tribe that had raided, looked closer to people among the demons. The killing flashed back her trauma. The intense flux of emotions there and the faults of erased memories destroyed Zhu Castle's sanity.

"Neuron. Is there a way to lift hypnosis?

I can't put the identity of hypnosis in my mouth. But Ryudo thought it was only fortunate that Ning Lo and the others were able to brighten up what was under hypnosis. As a result, it will be possible to carry out actions that were not allowed to be lifted.

But the neuron shook his head.

"There isn't. There are spiritual interference magic specialists in the McCard Empire, but I did her and couldn't analyze any of the magic that was done. It seems to be unique to the Demons."

"... If you couldn't analyze it, first of all, how did you know that Zhu Castle had been subjected to mental interference?

"The Magic of Mental Interference Generally speaking, we need even more powerful magic to override hypnosis on humans with powerful magic. I went to the two of you this time with the weak psycho-interfering magic, and neither of them will be activated. Therefore, we have determined that the powerful magic of the same lineage has already been cast."

A neuron rings one finger. Then one girl came into the room.

"She is a dark wizard and magical expert in the spiritual interfering system, which the McCard Empire was secretly nurturing. I will now do to Master Ryudo the magic of weak spiritual interference. We've already been checked once. The only thing left in this room is Master Ryudo."

I don't think that's a good idea, Ryudo, but there's no later. You can't run, and running doesn't make any sense.

"We cannot allow those who may be under the spiritual control of the Demon Nation to take their place on the battlefield."

As a result, Ryudo and Aoi were each placed under house arrest in separate rooms.

Sleeping in bed, Ryudo looks up at the moon beyond the window.

(The knights who lurked them... will they be safe?)

I was repeating an untargeted thought. There's nothing he can do now. For some reason, Ryudo hasn't been stripped of his holy sword, and Aoi still keeps putting his boundaries together. It's just house arrest. The kingdom of the sunflower is probably necessary to maintain the battlefield without the brave.

(Reinforcements...)

Looks like Neuron is going to ask Chancellor Indera for reinforcements. But the arrival of reinforcements takes time. With the 'space magic' of the sky, we can drastically reduce the time to arrive, but the sky and Keido are unavailable in battle in the former king's capital of the Kingdom of Rising Sun. Compared to other battlefields, it was clearly that there were many demons and that they were struggling. The division of forces was also largely over, so command had shifted to Chancellor Indella.

(Will not arrive in time)

The Neurons were stepping on that the Demons would never come up with this as an opportunity. That's one reason Ryudo's brought back reconnaissance results. When Ryudo scouted, the main formation on the Devil's side was still at Fort Bond. It was a decision that reinforcements would be quicker, even if we moved the main force now.

But this presupposes that the Demons have nothing to do with it.

(But at least... Neon works out a plan. There's no way we're gonna set this up.)

And if Neon were to set me up as Ryudo thought... it would be over.

(No. I can't help it. This is-)

'I'm done. You guys.'

To a familiar voice, Ryudo jumps up and sets up the Holy Sword.

In the room, the bone bird was winged.

"... how did you get inside"

"The window was open."

"It's not. There must be a bond in this fort."

"Kukukuku, yeah. It's just the surgeon's condition isn't good, it's pretty unstable. If you took the time to analyze it, you could pull it out. '

The bonebird landed at a desk that was in the room.

'Well, apparently you're about to call for reinforcements... but as you would have thought, you're going to raid before that. I am.'

(Has the information also been leaked...)

'Hey...... you must be tired of it'

"What?"

"Other weak people pull my legs. This fort is already stuffed... but only your life will be saved '

Bone-bird flaming eyes shake.

"What..."

"Don't you want power? An overwhelming force that can crush irrationality."

Behind Ryudo's brain, Takafushi Shirai's appearance appeared.

"Lewt. Why don't you join us? You become a demon."

……

'I would need to interfere mentally to make the Demons submit if I were to... this time I want to help you. When I first saw you in the mountains. Ha, I thought I'd just know the protection and disperse it...... I changed my mind when I looked into your eyes. You didn't see the Demons in a resentful gaze... and you felt a strong soul, unreasonably trying to succumb'

A bone bird peered into Ryudo's eyes.

"Don't you want power? Lyut."

"I thought you'd come. Brave Lut. It would be nice to meet you if you weren't over the demon."

"... is that what Neon looks like? Except for the clothes, they're no different than skeletons."

"That's the kind of race we are... shall we go then?"

"They won't find out?

"I've done some fine work in the room, so, for a while, I'll be fine. So, welcome to the Demon King's Army, Lyut. I'll show you to Fort Bond."

The figure of Ryudo and Neon disappeared into the forest at night.
