Eleven Stories "Recognition"

"Let's move on to the awards ceremony."

"It's just depressing, even if it's long, so let's go."

"Hahaha" makes a laugh out of the audience.

"The individual winner is Marius. The winner by country is the Kingdom of Filato. Trophies will be awarded '

The entrance gate opens and one girl walks in with Tokotoko with a trophy.

"It is Princess Catherine of Boltner who gives the trophy to Marius. I'm twelve years old."

"What's the point of saying the year?

"None"

Laughter happens again.

Marius also laughed and watched the girl walk towards herself.

And activate the "lead sink" by stepping back on the familiar instinct warning that the neck muscles will chill.

The information obtained by the instantaneous activation was fragmentary, but I still saw a blood-scented past that I didn't really think of as a twelve-year-old girl.

Marius put up his cane and spoke low.

"Who are you?

Marius's abrupt demeanor takes us all by surprise, and then sends a condemned gaze.

Only Lucas, Burra, and Hemrut were in tune with Marius.

Princess Catherine gave her a decent look for a moment, but soon she grinned creepily with "Nithali".

"That's just great. I didn't know you could spot me."

When I wondered if the outline of Catherine's body was blurred, it was changing to that of a young man.

From the golden hair, the blue skin, and the comet, there were horns.

"I'm Zamuel. Demon Zamuel. Marius Touban, the name of the demon who will kill you."

No one could react to the devil's sudden intrusion.

Marius was the only exception.

"... what happened to the real Princess Catherine?

"I'm letting you sleep in the royal palace. Because it's my doctrine to refrain from killing anyone other than the target."

Marius' worst anticipation was off, but he still can't be caught off guard.

Demons are the superior beings that monsters evolve into and are supposed to be difficult enemies with all their special skills.

"You think you're gonna take me down on your own?

Marius tried not to break the calm as much as she could to show her weakness.

Zamuel laughs as if he saw it through.

"It's very easy."

I wonder if Zamuel's body has been bumped, countless more.

Tens of thousands of Zamuels appeared in the venue in seconds of things.

And stand by each and every one of them in the venue.

"You may be better off in simple combat, but the skill I have is Divisions. I can create a split with the same attack power as myself. And the maximum number of creation is 150,000."

Zamuel speaks well.

"I looked into you. That's really sweet of you. You have the magic to kill me, but you can't use it in this state right now, can you?

You're absolutely right.

If you use magic like defeating Zamuel, the demon, the people around you will die.

"How was he changing his appearance?

"Ooh, ooh. It's in the magic items of the humans, isn't it? That's about it. Unlike Mr. Gaelic, I don't possess any transfigurative or fictional skills."

Zamuel doesn't hesitate to talk about what he asked.

I am convinced that my victory will not waver.

"If you're going to make a seed, I took it from someone who had a plan to kill you. You, you hate me."

Marius didn't know what Zamuel was talking about.

There was someone who was trying to assassinate himself, and I couldn't imagine he'd already been killed.

"Well, is it time for you to die?

Zamuel smiles and pronounces the execution.

"Knock."

Bernhardt III and other Filato humans thought Marius was utterly desperate.

In Marius, where they know, they can't be serious right now.

Zamuel has used his best maneuver to seal the power of Marius.

Even for Asteria, he was cold sweating, "I didn't know demons were coming with these hands".

If Marius' power is a threat, just leave it untapped.

Asteria was thinking of similar measures.

It turns out that Marius should be given the highest priority over his enemies, and he was unwilling to implement it.

While everyone around him was in despair, Marius said

"No, you're an idiot"

I used a kind of "transmission" of metastatic magic.

With the magic of forcibly moving beings other than ourselves, all those in the called venue are flown to a distant royal palace.

The only thing left was Zamuel's body and tens of thousands of splits.

"... that?

"If you're just going to take them down, you just have to move them to a place where no one else gets involved."

"Hey, what..."

Zamuel was stunned.

Never used it before, so no one could have known, but Marius could have used the magic of transferring others.

I mean, Zamuel's plan made no sense at all.

"Flame, ravage everything [Exhalatio]"

Unleashes first-class Flame-based Attack magic at all costs.

It just hasn't been designated a curse because it doesn't leave any effect on the surroundings, and if it's just firepower, it's one of the most powerful magics, barely a faint color.

White fireworks cover the entire venue and burn it down.

A total of ten junctions that were unfolding vanish without even a moment of time to resist.

"Gu-ha."

Zamuel soars his distressed voice and faints.

The large swarm of created splits disappeared unbearably for a moment.

When the white light had disappeared, only the fallen Zamuel body and Marius remained, and the match venue had disappeared without even charcoal.

All that remains is further ground.

"Too much... not that you're alive"

That's the demon, Marius continues.

Zamuel couldn't get up groaning.

I was dying, no matter where I looked from, no matter how many times I stared.

Marius frowns in surprise.

"Why are you dying...? You, aren't you too weak for demon habits...?

I haven't heard back, it looks like he's really dying.

I don't equip myself with the two items I was removing from my nostalgia, the archangel chief's neck ornament, and the ring of the divine word.

It's also a strange story that no matter how powerful "Xhalatio" is, if it's a blow with only a robe, the demon can't stand it.

(Are you seriously weak in this world?

I think it's forbidden to be alarmed, but it can be a struggle not to let go of all the weak beings so far.

To Marius' heartless and terrible review, Zamuel distorted his face with humiliation and anguish.

"No, don't get on the diagram... I'm... the weakest demon... the strongest companion... a lot of them..."

He stays down and strengthens desperately.

"I mean, abandoned pawns to see my power."

When Marius put on the drawing, Zamuel made his expression strong for a moment but laughed out immediately.

"Oh yeah... it's the basis for killing you... now the Rubens and the others... will kill you... go away..."

(not typical of what)

Marius decided to stay calm, albeit frightened.

I would have liked to be in contact and look at the past in "psychometry," but in the case of raw hatred and demons, I don't necessarily have one skill to possess.

And sometimes you have terrible skills that have nothing to do with combat.

"[Mailstrom]"

Stalled with third-degree magic.

Zamuel's flesh vanished and he dropped nothing.

(If you do... why do you disappear?)

Marius had feelings close to winning eight.

And the next thing I knew, I felt uncomfortable that I had no hesitation at all in killing the demon.

Kill Goblin. Now, Zamuel was much closer to a human than Goblin.

Apparently, even if they're human shaped, they can't resist killing them in the case of monsters.

(That's disgusting...)

I remember being confused, but I decided to switch to something I couldn't do.

Maybe there's a "wise man's correction" working around here, too, with an idea.

(Well, the problem is the game venue is no longer beautiful and refreshing...)

As soon as I figured out how to make an excuse, I figured I should blame Zamuel.

I flew it to the Royal Palace to stay out of it, so it must not be known how the battle went.

"Zamuel broke the cancer..."

With such expressions as I am sorry, Marius explained to the people who came back.

Everyone believed with dismay.

No one pointed out that Marius was intact.

(I'm sure Master Marius did it! Because there's no demon body!

Barra could not deceive.

Other humans were deceived, perhaps more than thought paralyzed and just unable to think about anything.

That was all that amazing that the demon showed up and no one was dead.

I'm sure it wasn't because of the many who had vain eyes.

Princess Catherine was found safely in the royal palace, but she cried frightened, so the king was to do the trophy award.

After Marius received the trophy, the country-specific winning trophy was received by Lucas.

I haven't missed a win in a long time, and most of Lanreo's people were relieved.

When we missed past wins, the contestants were starting to hang up.

I guess this time things were too shocking for them in a row.

Perhaps it is the nerves of Burra with expressions such as Nico and Pleasure that should be said to be abnormal.

Even the Filato people who became the winning countries had a sinking atmosphere.

Even Asteria, who should have almost been reading about this development, had a cramped face muscle.

(I couldn't have predicted how much anything was going to be... above Melinda's potential, but I was stupid)

It was unimaginable to destroy the demon without even leaving his body.

I honestly acknowledged the sweetness of my outlook and had succeeded in rebuilding the spirit, but it was also true that there was no looseness.

When I reassembled my predictions based on the information I got in this case, I came out saying that the worst that outweighed the worst could happen.

(If you've come this far, I'd like to think that Marius still has the power not to be revealed, and because of that, it will produce good results)

Even Asteria, a realist until she was cruel and ruthless, showed her power to change doctrine.

The Demon Festival is over, and the nations return to their homeland.

After a one-month grace period, it would be possible to clash again on the battlefield.

This time it was found that Fillato would possess transcendental power.

Firstly, each country needs to rethink its strategy on counter-filato.

So far, marital diplomacy is unique, but under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that everything will be established.

Where we win will hold the key to future continental trends.

"No, that was funny this time"

"Master Barra, you're the best."

"I can't believe I can't break my heart with a monster like Marius, she's a real goddess"

The folks are relatively comfortable and go home to share their thoughts on the tournament.

As a matter of fact those who were not deceived were besides Barra and Asteria.

(Did Zamuel fail... I didn't know it left a body either. Besides, the growth force is becoming irregular...... we have to report it to Master Rubens and rethink the measures)

It's the demon Gaelic who was infiltrating as one of the audiences.

Marius' "lead sink" is a threat, but he was stepping on whether it would be difficult to figure it out if he was in the crowd.

Predictions did hit me, but at the same time I was stuck with horrible consequences.

(That guy, it's out of our hands. At least we have to get Decarabia back together.)

The question is how many people will believe in fulfilling matters that are too unrealistic.

As long as you believe their leader, Rubens, you can find a way to live, but you can't expect it.

Because if Gaelic were in the position of another demon, he wouldn't believe it at all.

It's been a really long time since I felt alive while infiltrating.

Though I would have felt endangered in Decarabia, Gaelic was betting on the point that it was "still developing".

I haven't witnessed Zamuel's moment of defeat, so it may be natural in a way.

If Zamuel had the skills to advise the living after his death, he would have desperately corrected Gaelic's mistakes.

"Dear Decarabia, on the contrary, even Dear Aulanis is in danger," he said.
