Episode 556: The Stack of Challenges and the Exorcist

When we got on the Transformers Square, me and Lorraine went first to that Underground City of the Good King Felt.

And a little wait there, and a giant tiger will come over and smell us.

This is a powerful demon called the Black King Tiger Shahor Melefnamel.

The radiance of intellect, with its intense magic that can smell from its body, and its logic that is different from that of a human dwelling in its eyes, while also accentuating the immensity of its body, is such that it trembles just standing in front of its eyes. Of course, you can't fight and win properly, and that would be tough not only for me, but also for Lorraine.

If it's Lorraine, she'll give up a hundred steps and fight in hiding after trapping her to death, then there may be one or so wins in 10,000, but she still loses ninety-nine minutes.

So many demons.

But neither me nor Lorraine are particularly afraid of this guy.

Why? Because I can see that this Black King tiger doesn't feel like he's attacking us.

On the contrary, he rattles his throat and rubs that giant head against me.

When this happens, it's only the cat with the big figure.

It was impossible to tell him to be frightened.

"Don't feel weird over and over again..."

That's how Lorraine shrugged as she looked at me as she was supposedly a Black King tiger.

"First of all, I'm not a demon like I miss people... how could humans in old times obey something like this..."

This demon, Garb said, is nostalgic for my blood, which means it would be nothing more than to say that humans of old times somehow taught the demon to feel dear to the blood of the clan.

I don't know how long ago it was, but does it mean that a thousand or two thousand years can be surpassed when it becomes as much of a Black King tiger as it is?

Or does it mean that even if you change generations, you're only starting to react to my... human blood in Hathhaler?

I don't even know if I think about it.

Lorraine seemed to have similar feelings,

"That's all I can write a thesis if I know that... No, if I'm going to say that, can I write a mere existence of this stuff? If we figure out why the Black King tiger nostalgic and turn it into a paper or something, there's going to be a lot of problems..."

"You'll be able to pull a lot of money...... you'll be very popular from the noisy people trying to pull in with any means"

I mean, that's what the problem is.

In my words, Lorraine,

"But what kind of man thinks to challenge a human being who can obey a Black King tiger?

and make a legitimate objection.

Sure, you're absolutely right...

"I can handle it when I'm alone, what a guy to think. Right. If it's a positive attack, that's what brings in the Mithril class."

"Don't let it get you down just thinking...... let's keep the Black King tiger thing to ourselves. I don't want you to go public. If they're gone from here, I'm in trouble."

"Indeed."

Waiting for this Black King tiger doesn't feel like feeding a pet.

For once, the souvenir also brought the pork ghost "Oak" meat, so I threw it at him and he caught it cleverly and ate it, but that was only later.

Not really, he waited to get this guy to put him on his back and run inside the Underground City of the Good King Felt.

I know there's a transfer magic team here that leads to the village of Hathaler, and I have The Map of Acacia about the location, so I can tell without a problem, but the size of this place is not half the size, and it takes a hell of a lot of time to walk away.

In addition to that, this Underground City of the Good King Felt is in fact situated on sixty levels of the Labyrinth of Old Worms, a labyrinth that exists in the Empire.

Naturally, all demons that appear are monsters.

Stuffing that place early where me and Lorraine roamed around is visible.

But if you proceed on the back of the Black King tiger, those demons won't strike either.

In this terrible place of depths such as the Labyrinth Sixty Hierarchy, it should be noted that the Black King Tiger is the most powerful demon.

I sincerely feel glad I'm not the enemy.

"... Well, let's go"

That's what Lorraine says on the back of a Black King tiger.

It feels like I'm riding in front and Lorraine's turning her hand around my hips.

As a matter of course, the Black King tiger does not have some saddle on it, so it is difficult to maintain balance, and this is the kind of posture I got.

There are more parts of me that I can grasp, and I am sure because I have quite a few things thanks to my demonic body, both arm and arm.

"Oh. Well, I'm sorry, but go."

When I said that, I slapped the head of the Black King tiger gently and pounded,

"... Gwow!

The Black King tiger ran out into the underground city with a voice raised like a demon on a boulder called

If I tell Garb the way he taught me how to proceed, he will follow me firmly.

"You can say this also follows demons, right?

Lorraine answers when I say so.

"Absolutely. However... it is only a one-on-one relationship between the Monster Tamer, the regular squire master, and the demon creates a subordinate relationship. As for this Black King tiger...... anyone in the village of Hathaler would follow? I just think it's different from the ground up... I have no idea how it's different."

"Is my father Lindblum still not the same way as a common submissive?

"It seems to me that you are the same as a normal exorcist in form, but they say that no exorcist can follow a superior demon like Lindblum... it would be natural to assume that you are doing something different"

"I wonder how it is? How is a normal obedient devil capable of obeying demons in the first place?

"As for that, they're secretive. The exact point is not very clear. It just doesn't seem like we're all doing the same thing."

"What do you mean?

"For example, in the most basic terms… there are first people who say that when it comes to the discipline of demons, it is the same as the discipline of ordinary animals. So you're saying this is the same thing as planting art on a pet. But some say it's completely different than that. I still can't tell you the details about this one, but I could hear it to the point that it feels like using magic to build bonds with demons. In other words, we can deduce that the method varies from one demon to another."
