Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha
Resistance hideout
The carriage was leaving Midhaze and running south.
Around, there is a wasteland of sand, earth and rocks alone.
This direction is followed by a similar view for a while. If you go through the wasteland, you'll also see the city ahead, but at the speed of this carriage, you can't make day trips.
I put my face out of the carriage window and did my gaze on the other carriage going forward.
Black paint with luxurious embellishments.
On board is Zerceas, the head of the Angert family.
When I gazed at the demon eye, I could see the inside of the carriage clearly.
There are two Zerceas and their sides, and Ramon on board.
I put Ramon over there, which wouldn't happen to be the case.
Relax and watch the scenery, but listen at the same time.
Eventually, Zerceas opened his mouth.
"... I might be able to use it..."
"Is...?
Ramon raises his bare voice.
It was like I didn't know.
"You brought me here, I'm talking about Anosh. He's the owner of that young, terrible talent. Besides, I like it when you're a kid."
Zerceas does his hand on the white jawbeard.
It doesn't matter how powerful a child is, it doesn't matter.
"Oh, I thought so, too, and I brought you here, Master Zerceas."
Ramon said in good condition.
He wouldn't understand much about Zelceas' thoughts.
Let me ask you something.
Zerceas shines his magic eye.
I asked him to threaten me, releasing particles of magic from his entire body.
"Is Anosh really your brother-in-law?
"... and of course... I'm not the kind of guy who believes in others so easily. No matter how strong you are, you're not a tough guy to leave your back to... hehe"
It's painful to say things that make you look big.
Zerceas stares silently at Ramon.
There was only the head of the Angert family, and it was just powerful enough to make Ramon threaten.
"Why did you keep quiet?
"... and you said...?
"It's a talent that can use so much magic. You know what we need right now. Why didn't you even reveal it existed until today?
"Oh, that's..."
In a hurry, Ramon desperately haunts his head.
Why and everything, because I just met you today, but you can't honestly say that.
"... gi, because he's my brother-in-law"
After thinking about it, somehow, he twisted that word out.
"No matter how much magic talent you have, Anosh is just a kid. The Demon King's Army is not the kind of opponent you can hit and defeat from the front, and you're worried..."
"Hmm. Sure. We must weigh in on assassinations and intelligence to counter our demon king's army, which is inferior in power. No matter how powerful you are, it's the right decision to take a heavy load on a child. Ramon, you seem less stupid than I thought."
After a moment, Ramon laughs.
"... of course."
I wouldn't have thought about that, but he was responding well.
"But it must be true, right?
As a precaution, Zerceas asks.
"Yep... Yep. I don't know what Zerceas was worried about just now..."
often thought, Zerceas said.
"Fine. You are not an idiot either. Let's talk about my thoughts."
I smile and Ramon nods.
You think you can get up from the bottom to the executive because of this. But you think.
"Feast Anosh on the Demon King of true tyranny and gather more comrades. Many of those who went through the royal sect decided that we had no righteousness and power. If that's all there is, there are many who will come back."
"That's right, Master Zerceas. Awesome idea. Still, from the bastards of Anos, you mean to take back the throne of the demon king and restore the royalists?
Zerceas turns a blameworthy gaze.
"I know what it's like to be in a hurry, but I guess that's quick. If you hurry, you will suffer."
Unexpectedly Ramon breathed into the power of Zerceas.
"And, of course, I know you do. Anyway,"
Sighing, Zerceas strokes his chin beard.
"What matters for this is Anosh's identity. All that power, just in case you're a spy for the Demon King's Army, all our plans will fall apart."
I couldn't get my hair in, Ramon said.
"Rest assured. Anosh is like I raised him, and he's been dating before Anos' bastard showed up. He admires me, and no matter what, he's loyal to my orders."
I guess Ramon thinks it doesn't matter if you lie because Anosh has a contract to obey orders.
From him, I don't want to miss this opportunity, I just want to raise my position with the Royalists.
On the contrary, if we are to celebrate Anosh Porticolo as the Demon King of true tyranny, then perhaps he thinks that he, who can give orders to it, can essentially be at the top.
Nothing is more difficult to handle than incompetent and ambitious dispensations.
The question is, is Zerceas figuring it out?
"Fine. Ramon, if this is going to work, I think you should have a seat in the executive. Let's continue to fight together to protect our honorable blood."
"Hehe, it's nice to meet you, Master Zerceas."
What a brittle, crumbling relationship of trust you have with your enemies.
It is difficult to think about trying to form something with such a bond, but I guess there is no room for luxury in the royalty nowadays.
For those of them who have been dismantled and have lost many of their companions, is the presence of Anosh Porticolo something like a ship on the crossing? Both Zerceas and Ramon have a nitanita grin, as they say the outlook ahead has opened.
Hmm. Well, you should be dreaming between bundles at best. Until you realized that it was poison you had drawn into yourself.
Then there was no conversation for a while.
Eventually, I slowly stopped when I wondered if the carriage had slowed down.
The door was opened, so if you go down, it's in the middle of the wilderness.
"You see, comrade Anosh?"
Zerceas is staring at the rough earth.
When I turned to the demon eye there, I saw an unnatural cavity under the ground.
Pretty deep, tangled up, I can feel the magic of the Demons everywhere.
"Hmm. The Royalists seem to be good at digging holes"
"Ha. You're right."
Zerceas draws a magic formation on the earth.
< Demonic Earthquake (Diaz) > is activated and the earth breaks.
Behind a well-opened crack, there was a huge tunnel.
"Surprised, Anosh. The righteous side of Azito."
Ramon was good at it and said it as if he was bragging about the toys.
"Hmm. Interesting"
Zerceas floats in the magic of < Flight (Fres) > and enters the tunnel.
I flew through the sky, too, and followed.
"What you want to show me is this Ajito?
"That's true, too, but there's another thing that's interesting. We're based here for a purpose, of course, because it's easy to lurk."
Deep and deep, Zerceas descends to the bottom of the tunnel.
I eventually saw the lowest level of how long I went down.
When we landed there, there were only dozens of soldiers with armor and swords around them.
At the bottom, there is a huge horizontal hole, where Zerceas makes his walk.
Eventually, what I see is a giant green shadow.
I saw two long, sharp horns. Stupid big eyes turn around. The lumpy body was covered in a scale as stubborn as metal, with long wings on its back.
A dragon is the creature that is connected by countless restraint chains and scratches them all.
Even two thousand years ago, it was almost extinct, but in this magical age, seeds were no longer meant to survive.
"What do you say, comrade Anosh? How do you feel about seeing a dragon for the first time?
"It looks faster than a horse. Why don't we just build a carriage with this?"
Zerceas circled his eyes and laughed teasing at it.
"It's a reliable word. Earlier, I asked him if he was good at magic. We want to strengthen and enslave this dragon by turning it into a demon."
"Can't you?
How far did you find out about the dragon, so I put in an exploration.
"A dragon is a strong resistance to magic. Also among the creatures, < Demonization (Nedra) > is a hard species to work with. We have tried again and again, but there is no sign of ever becoming a demon."
"You want to be a pet, too?
"Pets? Oh, I also say yes. Dragons have tremendous combat abilities, and eat demons and humans. If this is turned into a demon, its power will also increase dramatically, and yes, it will no longer be something that can be followed by the hand. It would be difficult to completely enslave them in, but it would be nice if they could even direct them to Midhaze"
Is that what you're after?
"You mean unleash the dragon on Midhaze and raid the Demon King's Army"
"Dear Left, The only dragon I've captured is still the one, but if this gathers ten, it's not something I can hold back with the army stationed in Midhaze. Multiply the confusion that arises during the battle with the dragon and thoroughly shred the power of the Demon King's Army. That way, the royal triumph is near"
"I think it's the people who will be harmed first?
"That's why it's good. The Demon King's Army will be unable to concentrate on fighting dragons in order to protect the people. Regardless, the Imperial Demon Clan shall be allowed to flee in advance. Nor will the people who are to be the demon kings of tyranny say evil again, but they will deserve it."
"Hmm. Should I demonize this guy first?
"Oh, yeah. Can you do that?
Zerceas turns his eyes with anticipation.
Instead of replying, I took a step forward and drew a magic formation to cover the dragon's entire body.
It was the magic of Demonization (Nedra).
Then the green skin and scales gradually began to stain black.
"... oh... this is... wonderful...!
Zerceas stares at the demonization of the dragon, grinning niggardly.
I just need to be completely out of my mind about what my own actions invite.
"Stupid."
Growling so, Zerceas turned this way wondering.
"Stupid......? Was there a problem...?
"One first"
The dragon giant swells even bigger as the magic of Its muscles move to boil, and the released particles of magic cause the tunnel to rattle and tremble.
"Oh, whoa...! The dragons are demons... if this is the case... take them...!
With a mixed look of amazement and pleasure, Zerceas looks to the Black Dragon.
At the next moment, something sounded bouncing and flying.
The dragon's mouth was tied off.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
The roar splits my ear.
The dragon was connected, but it made one noise after the other, and it was ripped off.
"Become......!!? What are you doing? Whoa! You guys, reconnect!
In a hurry and hesitation, Zerceas gives instructions to the soldiers.
"Ya, I'm doing it. But......!
"I can't hold you back! Too powerful!
"Stupid… such as gently tearing off a few dozen < restraint demon chains (gigels) …"
Suddenly Zerceas looks to the Black Dragon.
"Zerceas. You see too sweetly the dragon's potential. If you demonize it, it makes sense that you won't be able to keep up with it."
"Gaaaaaaaaaa!!
Black dragons roar again.
To the fierce sound, the feet of all the soldiers snapped.
"... hi, don't be frightened! Stop moving. I don't mind killing you!!
Soldiers pull out their demon swords and rush towards the Black Dragon.
Moments later, the rest of the < Restraint Demon Chain (Gigel) > was ripped off and the dragon giant was freed.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Along with the roar, the soldiers were instantly knocked down as they waved a giant nail.
"Buh... it's a monster...!
Regrettably, Zerceas stares at the dragon.
I suppose you think that if you get this power,
"... the only way out of here is once... all troops are withdrawn -"
"One more thing"
I drew a gate of magic, from which I ejected the Jail Fire Cannon.
When the pitch-black sun pulls a dark tail like a comet, enveloping a black dragon, it makes a fierce noise with goooooooooooooooo, burning it all down.
Black dragons left no bones, but turned into ashes.
"Hey......!? Um... all that monster with just one blow...?
"No matter how many demonized dragons, they are not enemies of the Demon King's Army in about a dozen bodies. Only the people of Midhaze will be sacrificed"
to my words, but Zerceas gladly distorted his mouth.
"... I did say it was a miscalculation. But it's a delightful miscalculation, comrade Anosh. It turns out that far more powerful allies than demonized dragons are bestowing on us royalists."
"The Last One"
When I said so, Zerceas slipped his neck slightly.
"You haven't noticed the fatal problem."
Zerceas still gives a look like he doesn't know what it's about.
"You didn't rush to work, you took a better peek into my abyss."
I draw my own magic formation.
Using the magic of, its body grew to the equivalent of sixteen years old.
"................................................................!!?
Both eyes of Zerceas stain with surprise.
Something incredible is suddenly appearing in front of you.
"........................................................................................................."
An unspoken voice is squeezed out of Zerceas.
He looked at me with a face as if he had been stained with fear and despair.
It just took me to keep staring, like I couldn't even look away.
".........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Stepping out loose, Zerceas retreated reflexively and knelt on the spot.
"Words at the ceremony of the Reign of the Demon King. If you forgot, I'll tell you again."
With his head down, he's shaking his body in a mess.
He couldn't even utter a word, sweating from all over his body.
"Zerceas. This country does not tolerate malice"
