Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha

The Royal Palace of Gailladite.

Guided by Zamira, Ray and Mass were passed between the thrones.

Sitting on a luxurious throne, they were greeted by a skinny old man wrapped around the king's clothes.

He was an old face full of wrinkles, but only his eyes sparkle and remain young.

"We have brought the brave Kanon and his fiancée, Mass,"

Zamira says to Ying-jin, kneeling with his thick body.

Mimicking it, Ray and Mass tried to kneel before the king, but King Gailladite controlled it with his hands.

"It may stay put. I can't let the great hero of Azesion, the brave Kanon, get on my knees."

The king rose from the throne and walked to Ray and Mass.

"I'll see you first. The rest is the 106th King of Gailladite, Lisius Engelo Gailladite."

Two thousand years ago, Gailladite, the king's capital, was a fortress of mankind. It is the king who reigns over the king's capital, that reigns in unity over all Azecyon.

Azesion is, to be precise, not a single nation, but a human union. It is King Gailladite who governs those countries.

Its history has remained unchanged for two thousand years and has been handed down to this day.

I guess the fact that Zamila has the Engelo surname, just like King Lisius, means that he is one of the royalty.

Most importantly, it seems that the order of succession to the throne is low because it is about to be flown to the College of the Brave.

"Well done. He came to the royal palace. We've been waiting for this day."

Lisius gives Ray his hand.

"I'm Ray Grandsdry now."

That said, Ray responded to the handshake.

"For the rest of us to be demons, we are no stranger to the hero we yearn for, the brave Kanon"

Lisius also offered his hand to Mass.

"This is Mass Reglia."

"Wonderful lady."

The two exchanged hands.

"We still have time for dinner. Meanwhile, I let him have a room to relax in. Think of it as my home. Relax."

"Thank you. Would you like to say hello to the other royalty?

When Ray said so, Lisius closed his mouth and exhaled from his nose.

"Kanon the Brave"

Lisius complains with a serious look.

"I ask you to forgive me for this disrespect, even though I am inherently in a position to entertain you. I need a favor from you."

For a moment, Ray exchanges his gaze with Mass.

"What is it?

"There are two or six royalties who have the right to inherit the throne"

Zamira, who remains on her knees, drops her dark gaze on the floor for a moment.

"But now they're all lying sick."

"... all of them, is it?

"I know what it feels like to be puzzled. I also wondered if someone was planning to overthrow the state and kill all the royalty. But no matter what kind of sage you rely on, you can't grasp the cause. I thought it was a curse, but I don't think so."

Says Lisius with a sinking look.

"The country can crumble as it is. At the earliest, I'm told you can only rely on your Spiritual Divine Sword."

"... you could also have relied on the Demon King of Dillhayd...?

To Ray's words, Lisius shook his neck to the side.

"What I'm reading is, Demon Nation. I can't trust you. The heir to the throne is about to crush only a handful of people in the royal palace can be trusted. Not to mention, you can't be known to kings of other nations."

Not investing in the dragon's crusade is that it wasn't the other way around?

"I don't care about the reward. Please, will you save us?

Look at Lisius bowing his head, and Ray laughs like he's in trouble.

"I don't know how far you can go, but if it's like a curse, you might be able to handle it. Can I see the royalty?

"Oh, thank you, thank you"

With that said, Lisius walked out to the throne.

"This way."

When the two continued after Lisius, Zamilla told them to pull back.

"Wang Yi!

Stop your legs, and Lisius turns around.

"What's up, Zamira"

"I have brought the brave Kanon to the royal palace, as the king wishes!

With a pleading eye, Zamila looked at Lisius.

"Uhm. Thank you for your hard work, Zamira. Let's get a reward. Keep working for our country at the College of the Brave."

Zamira bites her back teeth thoroughly.

"... at the College of the Brave, is it...?

"If you have any objections, let me know."

"… no… it is also that there is no extinction…"

With her head down, Zamira was staring at the floor with a look stained with humiliation and anger.

But the next moment, what did you think, he had a dim grin.

The only thing that means keeping it out of the royal palace, despite the inheritors of the throne who have not been adversely affected by the disease, is that Lisius doesn't want Zamila to inherit the throne.

Regardless of Zamira, he moves to the throne.

Put your hands on it, draw a magic formation, make a gobbly noise, and the throne moved.

Underneath it emerged a hidden staircase.

Lisius goes down there, as he leads the way.

Ray and Mass followed suit.

The walls of the stairs are lit with magic lamps and bright lights.

But it was so dim that I couldn't see ahead.

The three go on there for a while.

Walk or not, all you see are the stairs.

Considering that the Throne Room was on the ground floor, it would be diving pretty deep underground.

Po, and the water sounded small.

The sound, gradually increasing in number, begins to be audible to the ears.

Eventually, what has been seen is a vast bell cavity.

There is an underground lake far down, and that emits a strange light.

It would be holy water.

Lisius uses the magic of < Flight (Fres) > and descends to the underground lake.

Ray and Mass followed it as well.

Lisius descends on a narrow rocky path above the underground lake.

Straight there. He walked away.

"Is this where the royal family is better treated?

That's what Mass asks, looking around strangely.

"This is where the darkest holy water springs up in Gailladite. Besides, even the royal palace only tells a limited number of people. Don't worry about the people knowing."

Lisius answered.

The center of the underground lake is like a stage with a rock made of circles, and he walks that far.

There were two or six coffins.

"In this?

Lisius nods.

Ray crouches in front of the coffin and does his hand on the lid.

Slowly shift the lid and open the coffin.

But it was empty inside.

The moment Ray turns around Lisius, a high and unpleasant noise rings.

The underground lake began to emit a pale, white light.

"Mr. Ray......!?

At the same time as the screaming voice of Mass, Zabbavan makes a fierce noise and a giant dragon emerges from the lake wondering if he would be more than a hundred meters long.

The scales and skin were stained white.

"Geyayyyyyyyy!!!

The unpleasant roar that cracked his head involved magic and turned into a sticky liquid.

The dragon's mucus hangs around Mass and Ray.

Even though Ray tries to shake it off with anti-magic, that liquid of adhesive just stretches out in a mess, with no sign of cutting it off.

"Geyayyyyyyyy!!!

Again, the dragon's mucus entwined them like chains, completely restraining their movements.

"... I thought if this hadn't happened"

Don't break your smile, Ray flies his gaze at Lisius.

"What does it mean that the people of Azesion are being attacked by dragons and their kings have dragons?

Lisius answered the question with a gentle grin.

"Are you being attacked? Brave Kanon, that's a mistake. Everything is salvation."

As a matter of course, King Gailladite says.

"Because a dragon is the use of God. By devoting ourselves and our minds to dragons, we humans can go to God and obtain true salvation."

"Then why don't you just sacrifice yourself as a dragon?

Lisius nods with a calm expression.

"Of course, I'm going to. But the rest, as king, is responsible for bringing this people of Azesion to God. After fulfilling it, we will gladly travel to God."

I'm much more aware of Mass.

"... the royalty...?

"I sent him to God one foot away."

"... did you feed the dragon!? My own children?

"They were fighting over the king's throne. Flesh parents resent, hate, and fight flesh parents. From hell like that, I saved them for the rest. A king is, as it were, the parent of the country. I can do it with love for my real child, the least I can do is be kind."

Mass gave an incredible look.

"... what's the purpose?

"We dedicate the God of Azesion, the Spiritual Divine Sword, and the brave men chosen for it as offerings. To Ex."

Lisius laughs like intoxicated.

"The commissioning went down. That way, the rest will go to God and be resurrected to this land with eternal life. Give truly kingship over God, and be true kings over this Azesion"

Ray makes his gaze harder.

"Was it a dragon man called Ahide who blew that lie into you?

"Everything as Ex wills."

To Ray's provocation, he apparently doesn't come aboard.

Even Ahide's work cannot yet be determined.

But it's infinitely close to black.

"Come on, brave Kanon. Summon here the God of Azesion, the Spiritual Divine Sword. The time has come to give back the hand of his God to Ex."

"Do you think I can help you?

Lisius then drew a magic formation on the index finger of his right hand.

It was the Alliance Pearl ring that showed up.

Unlike the chosen Alliance Pearl, the stone is a crystal of transparency.

I guess I'm not a selector.

The question is from whom did you give it up?

"Come to this place, according to the covenant. Enus ne més, god of thought, show me salvation."

The Alliance Pearl is lit with fire. The laminated 3D magic formations, however, lack more magic than the chosen alliance pearls. There will also be limits to the God you can invoke in that one.

Light gathers in front of Lisius as he makes a shitty noise of bees.

It symbolizes the human form and materializes it.

Summoned were armored knights made of fog.

There are no hands, feet, face, just foggy whole body armor.

"Enus ne més, the watchdog of thoughts, is a great God, who presides over thoughts and dominates the heart. O Kanon the brave, he will impose a trial on you."

When Lisius sends his magic to the Alliance Pearl, Enus ne Female slowly approaches Mass.

Mass restrained all over his body with dragon mucus can't move.

Enus ne més stretched his right arm out to her, making his head twitch.

"... ahhh, ahh...!

The foggy arms of the god of thought, little by little, enter the head of Mass.

"Enus ne més is the god of thought. Soon her heart will be ruled by God. Come on, brave Kanon. Pull out the Spiritual Divine Sword to save her. Otherwise, her heart would disappear from the world"

Ray stares at Lisius, who laughed calmly.

Magic gathered in his right hand.

At that time...

'... I'm fine... let's see how it goes a little more... maybe the moment I summon the Spiritual Divine Sword, I have the means to take it away from me...'

< Thought Communication (Leaks) > from Mass reaches him.

'Besides, I think this guy's probably a puppet. We need to find out who's connected to the underground world...'

With all that reply, Ray harvests the magic of his right hand.

"Who gave you that alliance pearl?

"It's the brave Cannon. Why don't you pull out the Spiritual Divine Sword? If you are against God's will, your fiancée's heart will belong to God."

When Lisius sent his magic to the Alliance Pearl, Enus ne Female's right arm went into Mass's head until his wrist.

She distorts her face in pain.

"Come to the Spiritual Divine Sword, O brave man chosen by God. You have fought for Ex. It's the same thing this time."

"Too bad, but she won't lose. If you can, you should try."

"If you can? Do you doubt God? Chosen and brave, then know the power, and repent."

Along with the voice of Lisius, all the right arms of Enus ne Més, penetrated the head of Mass.

"Come, obey God, Mass Reglia"

Raising the ring of the Alliance Pearl, Lisius rattles his fingers pattiny.

You're using a white dragon, or the mucus that was around Mass disappeared.

"Strangle the brave Canon with his hand and kill him."

If that were the case, you would have thought Ray would pull out the Spiritual Divine Sword.

Mass's face turned toward Ray.

That's how I walk slowly to him.

But on the way, she stopped.

She turns to Lisius as if she were going against it, even as she dwells in her head the god of thought.

"... I refuse..."

"... what the...?

Lisius gives a startled look.

"... I refuse. There's no way I can do that..."

"... what a disbelieving woman, without accepting God's rule, to defy, etc..."

Alliance Pearl's ring is magical again, and now Enus ne Female's left arm breaks into Mass's head with momentum.

"God. God of thoughts. Show these fools their strength. Your greatness, God's miracle."

"You can do whatever you want. I don't think so."

Ray said to Lisius, who turned around.

"I can't take her heart away from God."

grin and Ray laughs.

"I've already taken Mass's heart."

Lisius peeled his eyes like he was furious.
