Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

80: in an isolated world.

"War..."?

Yveam was now listening back to what he had just heard from Rudolph, King Victoria. He wanted it to be a mistake if he wanted to.

"Yes, the war."

But his expectations were completely betrayed, and apparently he had no intention of making this meeting a success.

"Yes, why the hell! Why go ahead and break out the feud that we can avoid if we join hands!

Then Rudolph stares at Yveam with a slightly more rugged look on his face.

"The eagle sacrificed all sorts of things to destroy the Lord... the 'Demon Nation'. Soldiers, people, and daughters."

Judom moves a picky brow at the word daughter.

"My friend Judom there said. He said we should also want peace for our sacrificed daughters. That's what my dead daughters would love the most."

A drop of tears flows through his eyes.

"But that's not true. My first daughter, Meetie, while still young, was a smart kid with his own thoughts. The second acelia was also a very minded child. And the third Farah, who is not dead yet, but has turned into a living corpse-like being, was also a kind child of heart. Such are the things they said before they died." Be sure to defeat the Demon Clan. "

Rudolph slowly aligns that gaze with Yveam.

"It's not the alliance or anything that my daughters, and those of you who were killed, want! It's about getting rid of the seeds of disaster from this [idea]! Eradicate the Demons!

That was already an obvious declaration of war.

And at the same time, it was clear that, at this moment, the thread to peace that was connected between the "human race" and the "demon race" was cut off by making a noise with Putun.

- Buckyyyyyy!

The round table was suddenly destroyed as a moment of quiet reigned.

On the Demon King's side, the Akwinas leap before her in an attempt to protect Yveam, and the soldiers step forward in an attempt to protect Rudolph in the same way on the human side.

Representatives of various countries and heavy towns all hit their gaze on one person who was responsible for its destruction.

"Bullshit, Rudolph!

That was Judom Lankers, the guild master of [Victorias]. He was sticking his fist out to the round table. Rigid arms as thick as its marutai are shivering with pull and anger.

"Judom, what did you say... I've already made up my mind"

"Shut up, Rudolph! Why... why are you so stupid?

"You! What does the Alliance Master say to the King?"

I said, "Pull it in. My back wipes!

An awesome hegemony pours down on Minister Dennis and the soldiers around him.

"Hih!

Dennis loses his hips and buttocks pitifully. Soldiers aren't exactly like Dennis, but most people can't move their bodies wet with cold sweats about whether they're being drunk by that air.

(Shh, awesome!? Is this the intimidation of those who have left the line?

Yveam also feels something extraordinary and breathes in the hegemony that is being released from his body.

"That's Judom Lankers. This pressure… will come to our realm…"

Akwinas loosened his cheeks slightly for the first time Judom's unrivalled growth, once playing a death fight with himself.

"Mmmm... is this the guy you called" The Impact King "the former SSS ranker"

Marione also seemed highly regarded by him.

And Kilia's got the same look on his face again, jizzing at him and coming up with something.

"Hey, Rudolph, do you really understand what you're doing?

"... do I look insane?

"Oh, you see. At least I didn't do anything stupid when I was younger!

"Then you've grown."

"Don't make me laugh! That's corrupt!

"Ki, you! Not once, not twice."

"I can't even support the king. Don't speak, my lord!

"Hino!

I stare at Dennis once in a while and intimidate him.

"It's not like they're here! I don't mean subordinate, I'm not just subordinate to the king's life. You really mean to lead the king to the right path!

Yveam stares losing his words to be touched when he hears his words.

"If the king is about to step off the road, even if he's ready to lose his life, it's really under his command to advance! The king is not absolute! Even the country is definitely not!

Then Akwinas tells Yveam to ear.

"Take a good look. That's who the king is."

Yveam stares at Judom as he snorts small and eats in again.

"There's nothing wrong with that! That's why people around us have to support the king so he can make the best choice! That attitude will be a step towards creating a good country so that we can definitely get closer and reduce our mistakes a little bit!

Everyone watches Judom in silence, but only Rudolph closes his eyes and stops moving.

"Even kings are people. Sometimes it's wrong. But what you can't do is make the wrong choice when it comes to people living and dying! I don't know why, Rudolph! Many of our people will die again on your decision!

Rudolph, who decides Judom's words are over, quietly opens his eyes and stares at him.

"I am king, husband and father. My daughter's life...... do you really think I let go of it because I want it, Judom"

Tears again.

"I see you would be able to kill your heart and betray your family's thoughts for your country"

"No! You're not. Rudolph!

"But I'm a father. Live with the 'Demon Nation' that caused her to take her daughter's life. That's peace...... that's unacceptable. That's something I can tell everyone who's killed my family!

"That's a natural feeling! But if someone can't stand it, the world will be worse!

"It's too late, Judom. The choice was made. This is revenge."

Hacked by Rudolph's crisp words, Judom bites and glances at his teeth with remorse.

And to Rudolph, Judom made clear as he turned his angry gaze.

"I don't deserve to be king."

"I know, but even you will understand when things are over. I'm glad the Demon Clan is gone... That's how it ends up for everyone."

Judom walks to Katsukatsu and Rudolph. But of course the soldiers get stuck.

But.

"Get out of the way, you hiyokos!

Waving down, the wind pressure alone blew away the soldier in his position. The Demon King's side is also firmly on his feet to avoid being blown away by its wind pressure.

Rudolph was also blown to the wall, but his expression hasn't changed at all from earlier.

"Huh, that's Impact King. I didn't know my elite could be a shield."

"Rudolph... eat your teeth"

- Bakiwi!

"Huh!

Rudolph gets punched in the face with a hook-like beating, blows up, and crashes into the wall. There was blood coming from his mouth, but still there was no way he felt fear. As he falls, he puts out words.

"... everything is already moving where you did it. No one can stop you."

Stiffen to Rudolph, who says as he wipes the land of his mouth, as Dennis and the soldiers rush over to protect him. Judom says after seeing them like that.

"... Hey Portnis"

"I don't know, Judom."

Judom speaks to the chief cleric, Portnis.

"It's been 24 hours since we got out of this room, right? Is there any other way?

If there is a relic of the Brave, a treasure ball that was originally nestled at the tip of the wand Portnis had, he is free to go out, but because it was broken, the next time he can go out is twenty-four hours later, when the junction is weakened.

"Well... I wish there were other Relics of the Brave"

"... I don't have it now"

Judom also sends his gaze to the Demon King's side, but sees their reaction and finds out they don't have it. Rudolph would not have it either.

If you use it, the junction will disappear, and everyone can come and go in that gap, so there's no advantage in keeping it.

It makes sense for them to lock up the Yveeams here for twenty-four hours.

And he was also treading that Yveam would not try to kill them. Because that would break Yveam's philosophy. So this is a dangerous place, a safe place.

"Any other way?

"Well............... I can't even figure out what's going on out there right now because it blocks all the information from the outside. Likewise, those outside can't even notice the anomalies inside."

"Damn......"

"But"

"What, you got something?

"Yeah, if, but if, you notice this anomaly, someone opens the line with a" relic of the brave "from the outside or..."

"... tough. I don't know what's going on in here. Nobody's gonna give me a hand."

Judom vomits his words as he gives his expression to the creeps.

"That's why I told you? Whatever you do is useless. I looked up this" Between the Sanctuaries "and decided that I could create this situation perfectly here, and I chose it as my meeting place. No deficiencies."

"Come on... Answer me, Rudolph, where are the brave men now?

"... don't you have an idea?

Rudolph asks with a grin.

"Isn't that the border?

It was Yveam who answered that.

She confirms with that eye what a brave man looks like. But Rudolph laughs with his nose.

"Huh, huh, huh... that's a lot off target, Demon King"

"What?"

"Let me tell you something. Now my highest power is in [Demon Nation/Heros]"

"Become!?

That was a word that rocked everyone's expression on the Demon King's side.

"Huhuhuhuhu, let me give you even more amazing facts. It's not just the brave ones, there must be many 'Beastmen' in [Demon Nation] right now. The National Army of [Beast Kingdom/Pacion]."

"What the hell!?

"Stupid! Impossible! The bridge is destroyed and we can't get through!

It was Marione who shouted that way. As he put it, Yveam destroyed the bridge, which was the only connection between the 'Demons' and the 'Beasts'. That's why they can't possibly take the army and cross into the demonic realm.

"Huh, huh, huh. - It's an alliance."

…… Rudolph, no way. "

"Oh, we, the 'Humans', have made an alliance with the 'Beasts'"

The words shocked the Demon King's side as if he had been hammered to the head.

"Well then..."

Yveam leaks his words like a shuddering voice.

"Yes, we're at war in the demonic world by now."

"Ha-ha-ha!

Shortly after he sensed the sense of crisis in his native country communicated by Rudolph, he began attacking with his bare hands over and over again in an attempt to break the junction in which Yveam was wrapped. But the world doesn't even freak out.

"That's reckless. There is no way that a kingdom that has lived the life of a brave man can be defeated with bare hands"

Yveam is sticking his fist out to ignore Rudolph's words.

"Ha, ha, ha... What do you say, Akwinas?

"... This also seems to include the effect of absorbing blows in addition to the Sealed Demonic Realm. In this place where it was originally forbidden to carry weapons, theoretically speaking, it is nearly impossible to escape."

Akwinas explains with a tough face as he touches the juncture.

Get out of the way, Akwinas.

Judom closes his eyes and concentrates all nerves on his right fist.

(Chi, I can't work out magic. This will make you lose your power.)

Still, I step in forcefully and stick my fist out.

- Pashung!

Nothing happened as if absorbing the shock.

"Come on!"

"Even Lord Judom can't..."

Yveam stares at the juncture with a sad expression.

"As it is, the 'Demons'..."

Her concern would be [Demon Nation/Heros]. They must be hearing you're at war right now, standing or not staying.

Even Judom is. I didn't want to think Rudolph would wage war on this occasion. But being his best friend, he ignores his own prophecies, which have gone scattered, and laments the fact that he ended up making the choice to wash his blood with blood.

"Unforgivable! Your Majesty, I want you to order the end of them for now!

Marione turns her gaze at Rudolphs with intent to kill them. But Yveam shakes his head.

"No."

"Sire!"

"Most acts of violence are now weakened on this occasion. Marione, your traits shouldn't be magic, physical attacks. Can such a marione fight those five soldiers properly and stay intact?

…………

"We need to get back to the country as soon as possible when we can get out of here. What if that's when you're hurt and you can't move?

"But..."

"It's a prerequisite to get out of here now. Don't waste your strength."

"... Your will"

I don't know what else to do, but she's right, so she decided to obey me.

Judom, who was watching it,

(Well, it's still blue, but I know it's important. This girl will surely be a good king)

If the thought is sweet, the behavior is problematic. But still, with nothing important to lose and an axis, she turns to admiration, thinking that she will always grow in the future.

(Can't you stand your teeth on my offense... then I'll just have to bet on how he works)

That's what I thought. I gripped my fist hard.

"... ugh..."

I felt a chilling sensation on my cheek and woke my eyes to Nazar Scride, who thought he had been killed by a robe figure when he was following the brave man's suspicious behavior, no, Techkel, the "Serial Third Place" of the "Demon King's Direct Guard".

"What... Ha... Apparently this isn't the afterlife"

I feel a clarity raw feeling even as I am restrained from my hands and feet. I thought I was definitely murdered, but apparently I was a little horrified that I still had life.

I fell back on my back and depressed and looked around to determine where the hell this place was. From what I saw, I could determine it was a cavernous place.

I just decided on my own with a bell cave in the sky, but I thought I was probably sure.

(But why hasn't he killed himself...)

I don't see any signs of people around me now.

Wake up your torso and keep twisting your body to check your surroundings again.

Then I can see the light, although it is quite a bit ahead of me. There seems to be an exit nearby.

You can't be making a big deal out of me here, so for now, I decide to go for the exit. He falls asleep once, turns on the recoil, and now stands up well. And stare at the restraints on your hands and feet.

"Mm-hmm, this restraint... is it some kind of shitty piece of magic? I'm not even scared, sss."

I'll try to pull a thousand restraints with all my strength, but I won't say Un or Sung. A magic tool that houses magical powers. The effects vary, but this handcuff-like magic device seems to limit the opponent's physical abilities.

"Well, apparently your favorite pen has been covered."

Tekkail was a unique wizard with a magic that could paint with that pen and embody it. But that doesn't work without something to draw.

"I knew what I saw back then wasn't a mistake... no way that guy..."

Then it's no surprise that you know about your abilities, and if you take up the pen this way, you can nod that you've decided that magic can't be used.

But when Tekkail overflowed with a crunchy grin, he said, "But you failed," and chewed off something galloping.

Potato Potato Potato......

Liquid drips down to the ground. That, if you look closely, was the blood flowing out of Tekkail's mouth.

Tekkail chewed off his lips with his teeth.

"Even if you don't have a pen, you have something to draw."

When I pelo out my tongue, I put my tongue on a big rock and use my blood to draw something.

(Uh-oh, it's so lame and disgusting, but at this point, it's gamanus.)

It was a bird painting. When I finish drawing, the painting emerges and starts dancing in the sky like a real bird. And get off on Techcale's shoulder.

"Is that a good one? I want you to pass on the information that Oyla's got right now to someone who's doing something about it."

"Chichichichichichi?"

"I would have informed His Majesty directly if I had, but now His Majesty's surroundings are the most dangerous. Those who are in it, should be with His Majesty now, from the sss. You're bound to make use of the information, sss."

"Chichichichichi"

He's moving his head quickly with a kook.

"Oyla also sees a gap, and if we can get out of here, we're on our way, sss"

Then the frizzy cold runs on my back. The air is multiplying heavy.

"Ma, Maz-is! Apparently, he's back. Look, I'm flying off that top, sucker!

That's how I move my jaw quickly toward the sky. There was a part of it where little light was emitted. It's not big enough for people to pass, but this little bird should be able to pass fine.

When Tekkail urged, the bird rang "Chichichichi" and went to its hole.

"Please, Ssss. He's the only one I can count on right now..."

Tekkail stares at the light that may be the exit he saw earlier quite a while ago. And the cuttlefish cuttlefish and footsteps echo in the cave.

Tekkail goes back to where he slept until earlier and lays down again. I decided to keep watching for a while longer than the other person's thoughts didn't clear up.

Maybe I can get a lot of information. Regardless of the likelihood of being killed, I think fortunately I was able to deliver the information I have now.

Besides, it's more convenient to pretend to faint like this in order to lure your opponent off guard and fight back.

(Anyway, just do what you can now ssss)

"Damn... I still can't"

Eating up his teeth with remorse, Yveam is touching the kingdom. I've spent quite a bit of time since then trying out possible techniques, but the junction isn't even freaking out.

"Yes! After all, Your Majesty, you should finish this abominable 'human race' first!

"Han!

Say no to Marione's words and don't return affirmations.

"But they betrayed us!

"I told you earlier. Think about when you went outside."

"Mm... but"

"Now we have to do something about this juncture, get back to [Heros] as soon as possible, and stop the war! I forbid you to waste your health!

"Ku......"

Marione also leaned back reluctantly.

"Lord Judom also meditates as if to keep his strength warm as that. Marione also keeps her health warm for the future. I'll take care of this junction!

But I can't think of a way to do that, but I still can't give up thinking.

Then Portnis, the clergyman of the Grand Temple of Ordine, slowly turns his gaze to Rudolph, King of Victoria.

"King Victorias, do you also conspire against us, comrades, to flatten out and seemingly nothing like defiling [Ordine], even this holy place?

She was also one of those betrayed by Rudolph.

She was delighted that there was no such thing as an offer to open talks for world peace, which must be held in a sanctuary that could also be considered a symbol of peace.

Yet his grief will be overwhelmed because he used the Holy Land to wage war.

"What you have done is nothing but blasphemy for peace! Shame on you!

She is completely outraged, but Rudolph answers in a flat face.

"Chief Cleric, you'll understand one of these days. Once it's all over, I can feel this is true peace"

"Destroy everything but the 'human race'!

"That's the shortest way to peace."

"............... Judom also said that you still don't deserve to be king!

When you snort gently into her words,

"Demon King."

I spoke to Yveam.

"... what?

I don't use respectful language anymore. Because I decided I wasn't the person who deserved it.

"I asked earlier. I wonder if your lord has ever lost a loved one."

……

"Twenty-four hours from now, there will be many dead in your country. Your Lordship says that the dead of your precious family are in Ujauja."

"Come on!"

"Your Lordship also said that vengeance does not make sense. Can you get out of here and still throw up the same words? Can you keep vomiting words like saints when you are destroyed by the 'human race' or the 'beast tribe' and still nothing comes from hate?

Yveam glances at him with a sharp gaze, but he glances at him again as well.

"............ I still don't give up peace!

"............... that's a trick. Strength is a kind of talent when it gets that far. Then when we see reality, then, let's say we ask again. Think carefully. Plenty of time, plenty of time."

That's what I say and sit deep in the chair.

Yveam decides it's no use letting the word go against Rudolph any further, and now turns his face to Akwinas.

"In the defense of the country, how long do you keep it?

"Right, I was wondering if this would happen, and once Aunous had me back in the country. Now he will be struggling to defend his country. Only if what he says is true... but..."

I don't know why, but there's a good chance Rudolph's lying.

"Oh well! That's Akwinas!

"But still, to the four brave men, the 'Beast Nation' national army. The top two countries are the opponents. Aunous would be tough on his own."

"I'm not alone"

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"We have many compatriots in our country. Excellent people."

"... right"

"And one..."

"Hmm?"

"Deal with the very strong..."

As Yveam was uttering his words, the junction that was wrapping the room swayed with gras.

"Hey, what!?

Yveam sits up and looks around.

"An earthquake...... is it?

Words out as nearby Kiria frowned.

The Rudolphs, too, were not able to grasp this phenomenon, as we are all surprised.

But at that time, only one Judom, ever meditating, slowly rises up and squeals like this with a small voice.

"Finally... have you come"

The Grand Temple of Ordine, which exists in [Holy Land Ordine]. Plus "Between the Sanctuaries" in its Grand Temple. That is where the power of the brave remains the strongest.

There are boundaries stretched out there in a radius of about twenty meters, within which we cannot even bring in weapons. No, I can't go inside with my weapon on.

And in it, you can't use magic, or magic.

This was the Sanctuary, where the last power of the brave man manifested itself, in a room called the supreme junction. It has also been decided that there will be a total of thirteen people who can go in there, and those who go in, cannot easily go outside.

The way out is that if anyone has the belongings of this bonded brave man, known as the Relic of the Brave, the bond can be weakened and it will be possible to enter and leave freely.

And the other is to wait twenty-four hours from the time the first entered. Twenty-four hours later, the bond will be loose for just a little while. Another way to get out of there is by targeting that gap.

This junction is so powerful that only after twenty-four hours should the junction be distorted, but everyone's surprise was enormous because the junction of the Sanctuary, where the Judoms are now, swayed with gras without waiting for time.

If you are good at magic sensing, you must be able to confirm that the magic that makes up that junction will weaken.

"Ko, what the hell is this...?

Yveam's sensing abilities are superior to anyone else's in this setting.

That's why I understood that there was an anomaly in the junction as soon as possible.

"Relieved Demon King"

"Ju, Lord Judom?

Judom's face saw no surprise or agitation at all. On the contrary, he was staring at the entrance to the room with a grin just saying he was waiting.

"Judom, are you kidding me?

Portnis, the chief cleric, also puzzles and distorts his beautiful face with words.

"Oh, I took out insurance exactly to see if this could happen"

It is Rudolph who created this situation who cannot keep his mouth shut when he hears the words.

"What's this about, Judom? What the hell is this shake?

"Rudolph, yes, you can't carry things the way you want them to."

"What?

"You think I was jittery about nothing until the day the talks were held?

Then the door they came into this room is gi... making a noise and opening.

Naturally led by Rudolph, everyone flatters, but

"Master Judom!

From the end of that door, those dressed like adventurers scream.

Judom, who saw it, laughed niggardly,

"Now, demon king, hurry!

"Oh... ok! You guys!"

Each nodded back and hurried to the door when he also spoke to the Akwinas, who were holding back nearby.

He's trying to get out of the room one after the other with the amazing, hardening Rudolphs on his ass.

"Kiria! What are you doing! Come on, let's go!

"... Yes"

Seeing Kiria, who for some reason did not move the spot, Yveam shouts out in haste.

Kiria replied when she glanced at Rudolph, who was revealing her surprise, and headed after Yveam.

"All right, Portnis, you go too"

"Okay."

She picked up her cane and headed to the door. Judom turns his gaze to Rudolph, who is stunnedly distorting his face after dropping her off.

"You did it, Judom."

But it was Rudolph who uttered the words first.

"I wanted to believe you, too. But you think I know what you've been up to lately? I'm pretty confident in gathering information, too. From the moment I found out I chose this place for the talks, I let my men find the relics of the brave."

"... but why did this situation cross to the outside world?

"... I'll answer that answer when I get out there. Or are they here for their lives? Well, you'll be safe here."

That's what Judom says. He goes to the door.

"... this, my king! What are you going to do?

That's what I heard, Minister. Not only Dennis, but the soldiers clearly see upset.

"... that the scenario has changed more than this has happened"

"So, then..."

"Yeah, that guy doesn't seem to be moving, either, and we're gonna head outside."

"But..."

Dennis' anxiety is particularly high. It would have been like being here would have been safe.

But I can imagine that once you get outside, you will certainly be attacked by the 'Demons'.

"If you don't like it, you can stay here. So do you lords."

Send sight also to the five captains.

"I didn't expect the rest of the soldiers to keep their mouths shut about this"

Rudolph was only talking to Dennis here and the five captains about locking up the Yveams in this meeting.

It's because we didn't have much information to leak, but if we'd let them know and kept them under strict guard, we wouldn't have let Judom's dispatched adventurers through here.

That's why I regretted it. But staying here doesn't change anything more than it's happened. We need to watch what happens.

"I'm going. Ahead of this scenario… and to see the results."

Dennis and the others saw Rudolph heading outside in slow footsteps with Tsukatsuka,

"Oh, don't leave me alone!

Apparently there is no one left on the spot.
