Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

I read a picture book.

One young man talks about taking out a bad demon king.

The evil demon king disappeared, and there came a peaceful world where everyone could laugh and spend.

That's such an old aga story.

When I finished reading, she said.

"... it's me. I want to make a happy world, like this picture book."

That's impossible, knowing it.

◆

The Abominable Labyrinth is located in the north of Schmeltz.

On a chopped cliff, there's a big hole.

That's the entrance to the Abominable Labyrinth.

Around that cliff, access is forbidden to the vicinity of the labyrinth.

Naturally, no one but the Knights of the Diocese, who administer the labyrinth, can come close.

Nearby, all year round, there are knights on the lookout, and most of the time, they won't even be able to get inside the labyrinth.

Breaking through such a lookout, we had come near the entrance to the Abomination Labyrinth.

Right now, I'm on a big rock that can look down the entrance.

They haven't been tailed, and they haven't been found by the knight on the lookout again.

As a result of the research, there was no sign that Leo was trying to frame us.

At least, it won't be a matter of cathedral knights coming out with zorros the moment they try to enter the labyrinth......

Me and Elfi waited for the Knight of Surveillance to move.

The knights are taking turns watching.

I don't know how to do it, but I hear Leo will just turn off the lookout a few minutes from the entrance to the labyrinth for that shift of time.

If nothing happens, I'm going to put the knight on watch to sleep and push him through.

The entrance hasn't changed.

I haven't seen it in thirty years, the entrance to the Abominable Labyrinth.

It's a cave under a cliff.

From a pompous and empty hole, darkness spreads like a monster's mouth.

Because there are no light sources inside.

The inlet is covered by a junction, and you can see the exuding magic vegetables from the inside accumulating at the inlet.

Significant amounts of magic vegetables would be evidence of accumulation inside.

I hear that the last time the Patriarchate swept away demons in the labyrinth was months ago.

As far as that amount of magic vegetables is concerned, it's not funny to see a ton of demons hanging around.

"... That's quiet"

Elfi, sitting on a rock next to him, shrugged as she stroked her silver hair.

Elfi is right, the labyrinth is quiet with Sin.

That would be natural, too. We're the only knights on the lookout here.

But I know what you're trying to say.

Does the air stretched out to sting your skin come from the tension of challenging the labyrinth from now on?

Probably not.

I didn't feel any predictions, any signs...

"It's like a storm foretaste"

"... right"

When I was playing brave, it was the feeling I tasted.

For hours before diving the dead line, I had a feeling it would sting my skin.

I have a feeling something will come.

If you wish.

"... kuku"

I hope you're coming with the scarecrow.

Luzas Gilburn.

I've already decided how to kill you.

Dionys is followed by a second party member to remember.

As a milestone, I'll make you suffer and then I'll kill you.

Then, nearly an hour passed.

At the time Leo said, there was some mistake, or there was no guard in front of the labyrinth.

I honestly thought it would be too monkey...... but it would be thanks to Leo turning his hand around.

From that mouthful, you seem to be doing something remarkable.

Jump off the rock and land below.

We approached the unguarded entrance and double-checked the structure of the junction.

Multiple operators are jointly bound.

Pretty sturdy made from either side, against witchcraft, against physics.

It would take a lot of time if we were to break the line in the usual way.

"What do you say? Do you think you can do it, Iori?

"No problem. But it's only for a moment. Don't miss the timing."

But we can erase the line in a way we can't normally take.

Ask Elfi to see the origin of the junction with his demonic eye and determine the most effective position.

Now that we've captured the three labyrinth nuclei, we'll be able to create a hole in the junction for about two seconds with "Magic Takeover (Spell Divauer)".

While I was analyzing it that way, a chilli unpleasant feeling passed behind me.

"... you're being watched"

Without looking back, whisper to Elfi.

He seemed to have noticed already, and Elfi nodded small.

From the senses, there are more than two people watching.

The way the signs are erased shows that it is not the Cathedral Knights.

Being so far apart doesn't seem like he's going to be giving me a hand right away.

"... the magicians of the kingdom?

I can't answer Elfi's question instantly.

So far, Lewsas didn't let us grab his tail.

Why did you come here and do something to be noticed?

"There are three possibilities I can think of. Something went wrong and we found out."

It's unlikely.

The opponent is the highest power in a country, bent over.

It's hard to imagine someone doing such a hem.

"The second is, he's trying to make us realize he's doing something."

Not unlikely, but I can't think of much merit in doing so.

This one's on alert from the edge, and you know that all over.

By the end of the day, we're all set.

If so, another possibility.

"I'm not a magician of the kingdom, someone else is watching us -"

"... maybe"

A man of the Patriarchate...... wouldn't be.

The knight's level isn't low, but he hasn't had the kind of hema to be found.

First of all, if they'd found us, they'd be on their way here any minute.

It's hard to think of humans from other countries.

I don't think the people of the Union and the Empire will come out at this time.

... if.

"After all, you shouldn't have let the woman get away earlier"

"... that was human. There was no indication that he was using Magic Grants."

"If you are aware of your existence, it is possible that you were taking care of the devil's eye."

".................. uhm"

Either way, I can't help thinking about it.

It will also be a matter of time before a replacement knight arrives.

This, for once, is one of the patterns I assumed.

"Let's go."

"Uhm."

Let's raise the level of alert to another vector.

"-" Magic Taunt (Spell Divauer) ""

Moments later, part of the junction that was covering the entrance disappeared.

From the inside, there is drizzling cloudy air.

"... let's go"

We set foot in the Labyrinth of Abomination.

◆

It was dark in the labyrinth.

As the name suggests, it's a space that abhors light.

The moonlight had slipped slightly from the empty junction, but it also disappeared in less than a second.

To total darkness, I can't even look ahead at all.

"Yes, Io..."

Slightly rough breathing, Elfi leaned in.

"I'm fine. Light it up immediately."

One of the pre-prepared, magic grants (magic items).

"Cantera of Floating Light" was removed from the porch and enchanted.

When the red glowing sphere appeared, it began to float around us.

It is a convenient item to illuminate your surroundings without blocking your hands.

Floating light illuminates the labyrinth's bitter walls.

Your feet can also be seen clear.

"Damn, human items are handy."

"Thirty years ago, that was a little more inconvenient."

The amount of magic consumed and the number of light coming out at a time are out of step.

I remember using a few of them.

Using Magic Grants (Magic Items) has always been Lewsas' role.

Now, don't move on.

"... from here"

As a troublesome point of the Abominable Labyrinth, it is usually given that it is covered in darkness.

That means that if you light the light, you will naturally be noticed by the demons inside.

There is nothing more to go on while attracting demons than not being able to proceed without light.

"Shiyi"

Quickly, I saw the Thunder Emperor Great Spider (Blitz Spider) coming from the front.

A giant big spider, enough to look down at people.

The yellow and black patterns were well seen illuminated by the floating light.

"Let's go."

The Great Spider of the Thunder Emperor approaches as he moves his legs with Shakashaka.

Avoid the thread you throw up and break your head and torso with a jade machete.

It should be noted that it is the Great Spider of the Thunder Emperor who jumps just at the head,

"- Demon King Kick"

He ate Elfi's kick and crashed into the wall of the labyrinth and crumbled.

No magic, just kicking this power.

If this guy grabs you, you can't get away with it.

"Hmm. A Demon King kick and a Demon King punch will be enough for a while."

Elfi is floating her dooya face as she wields her hands and feet.

"Don't be alarmed. Bolt slime doesn't get through the blow, and the Thunder Emperor Spider is troublesome because it's when he's attacked from a distance. If you are alarmed, the former demon king's glue roll will be completed"

"... that sounds delicious"

It's a distracting reaction, but I know Elfi isn't alarmed.

Let the Devil's Eye shine and be on constant alert.

That look, it's never serious.

At this rate, you'll be fine.

I thought... but decided to ask for once.

"Elfi."

"Hmm?"

"Did you stab the eye drops I gave you?

This labyrinth abruptly emits absorbed light all at once.

If you look directly at the light at that time, the retina burns and you go blind.

"No problem. My eyes are not soft enough to be burned by the light of the labyrinth"

"... are you sure you're okay?

"I've been to this labyrinth many times. Even then, my demon king's eyes could easily play the light here."

Moments.

Walls, floors, ceilings - everything inside the labyrinth emitted a tremendous light.

It emits light without any foretaste, but it doesn't work on me already taking care of it.

The effect of eye drops shuts out the amount of light that crosses the limit.

Raids aimed at the timing of the light are also naturally alarming.

There's no sign of anything around.

That doesn't sound like a raid at this time.

Turning his gaze to the elphi beside him,

"Ugh... Ugh! Eyes! Eyes!

I held both eyes and was rolling around.

"Ouch... so painful no..."

"Are you stupid, you are"

"Because! It didn't really hurt when I came here before!

It's not!

"Get up quickly. Demons are approaching. We don't have time for this."

Hold your eyes and make Elfi stand up forcefully crying.

Forced to give us the eye drops, we moved on.

◆

A brunette boy and a silver-haired girl.

The two men in the report were seen entering the Labyrinth of Abomination.

Checking that the two disappear completely, cheats and three shadows emerge from the darkness at night.

"- Arr is elfiszark gildegard. Fallen Demon King."

"He was next door, probably a brave man"

"Is that it? He just seemed like a human being."

Grown from the back, two wings.

Red and black skin, big yellow eyeballs with glitter.

The two arms have sharp, pile-like nails.

One who is unmanly. A demon with no enemies to men.

- Demons.

"Don't let the appearance fool you. You're just as brave as that amatsu."

"I know. But the same brave man as Amatsu and the former demon king. Can you really kill him at the same time?

"What the hell, Dar? Are you freaking out?

A demon clan called Dar looks blatantly at him.

"Different. I just wondered."

"That's why those three come out. I don't care about that traitor's half elf and the mixer making me look big, but only strength is real."

One demon tribe cautioned the two who divulged the word, "Get there".

"We have one more thing to do than find Elphiszark."

"Right."

These three are the demons of reconnaissance sent in by the Four Heavens "Disappearance".

Excellent enough to cross the Cathedral Gate surrounding Schmelz and dive this far without being found by the Cathedral Knight.

He is given a reconnaissance mission because of his high ability, but he is powerful enough to ravage humans even in combat.

"Breezy Blade" Dar.

"Connector" Caesar.

"Ice flashing" veradora.

Gracia's men, led by leader Belladora.

"Caesar, report to Lady Gracia. They found the object."

Caesar nodded at the words of his companion.

Put your magic into the magic grant you were given, and start sending contacts to the distant Gracia.

- At that moment.

――!?

Gurli and the junction covered the perimeter of the three.

At the same time as perception, the three noticed a rapid loss of power from their bodies.

Something and the moment I tried to figure things out,

"-" Space Off (Real Slash) ""

On Caesar's body, a string of lines ran.

It slipped cheeky from head to hip, and eventually its body split in two.

"It's n... you!!"

"... well. Won't you die if you're cut off?"

A fine tentacle emerges from the cross section, trying to connect the torso of Caesar in two parts.

There, countless sorceries flew in along with chilling words.

"Chip."

"Caesar ah!!"

The other two succeed in dodging, but Caesar, in regeneration, was sorcered and completely extinguished.

Caesar with strong vitality, but if it is erased without fragments, there is nothing we can do about it.

All I'm waiting for is death,

"... what are you?"

If you notice, Belladora and the others were surrounded by people wearing robes.

"Cathedral knight...... no, you're not a man of the Patriarchate. That robe... no way, the" selector "of the kingdom"

"Hmm. Shall I ask you not to call our names with a disgusting mouth"

The kingdom is proud of its highest power, the "Chosen One".

Selected and first seat, Harold Ravens said coldly.

"... well. You mean you were watching to protect the brave?"

"Ha."

The selectors laughed at Belladora's misguided words.

In the meantime, the "kingdom for the devil" that has developed around them has shredded the power of the Belladoras.

"You don't have to choose. Out of the way. Immediately - die."

Harold's words were skinned and the selectors moved in unison.

Veradora peels her eyes at that agile move that she doesn't think is human.

"Temee et al... how dare you have Caesar!!"

"Don't go away, Dar!

Dar, whose blood rose on his head after being hit by his companion, gushed the wind from his entire body and descended to the ground.

Pour the wind blade at the nearest selectors.

If you're human, it's a blow that should cut off easily.

"Become"

While wearing the robe, the selectors evaded the blade with ease.

On the contrary, multiple sorceries fly to Dar at the same time as dodging.

"Gu!!"

Even cutting the sorcery with a blade that wraps the wind,

"- Blunt"

Harold's blade, which was diving into his nostrils, slashed and tore Dar's chest open.

"Ha."

"Totally... I didn't know it would be a wingspan I made for you. How much do you think it cost and how much time it took?

While he bled out blood, Dar opened his trump card.

- Name's "Sickle."

It's a small wind blade that's too small to even see.

"Chip."

!?

Moments later, the selectors surrounding Dar dodged the sickle.

No. Some of them were unspeakable and damaged.

But everyone avoided the fatalities and had already moved on to the next attack.

"Not only witchcraft, but also flesh-bomb warfare......"

"Die."

Harold's blow wiped out Dar's flesh.

"... all the time"

Belladora tongues when she sees her casually hit buddy.

Sure, the selectors are strong.

But if they were in full swing, even these three would have fought hard enough.

What's troubling is the junction that's covering us.

Against the demonic kingdom.

It is an abominable bond knitted by man, which takes away the power of the Demon Nation.

It also contains a considerable amount of magic.

As Harold said, deploying one of these would cost a tremendous amount.

"You knew we were coming...?

Otherwise, it's a strange level of junction.

"... Fair enough"

Cut off your own thoughts, Belladora said.

"... kill them all"

moments, the temperature in the junction dropped sharply.

At the same time, the body of the veradora is wrapped in ice with a sound of vacillation.

Belladora is called "Ice Strike Flash".

The ice he manipulates combines both high attack and defense.

Even Caesar and Dora's two leagues won't extend to the seriously-gotten veradora.

"Don't let the human spirit get you on track."

Around the veradora, dozens of ice blades unfolded.

……

Harold and the others instantly put up a fence.

The blade fired pierces the wall like a bullet.

"... shoot"

Magic pierces Veradora's body from all sides.

But...

It doesn't work.

The armor created from the ice was playing all sorcery.

Even if it was weak in the antidemonic kingdom, it should be noted that Belladora's power was overwhelming.

With the blade created by the ice, Veradora hits the Selector.

"... I see, it's definitely strong"

"... ugh."

Gugnali and a grin of abuse on Belladora's face.

- Not for humans.

The situation reversed and gradually the selectors began to be pushed.

Belladora ravages the selectors with ridicule.

Though it is the fatal wounds that are avoided, the ice blade plunders the body of the selector.

It's only a matter of time before it's all gone - yes, it was the moment Belladora thought.

Selector, who was just being pushed, withdrew from Belladora in a agile move.

At the same time I felt uncomfortable with the movement that left me with that margin.

- The man showed up.

Dull red hair, beastly fierceness peeking eyes.

A magic wand in your hand and a pitch-black robe to be given to a court magician.

A man in his fifties with a very cold look on his face.

"... Ki, you are..."

Belladora knows this man.

I've never seen it in person.

However, the "bad reviews" have been heard more than once.

The man who once fought alongside the hero Amatsu.

A magician who was deceived to be the strongest of humans.

Its name is:

"…" The Great Devil's Guide "Luisas Gilburne"

I've heard of it.

This man in front of me said that he was the only monster that drove 10,000 troops into destruction by himself.

――――

From the flesh of Lewsas, magic blows out.

The talent is real, even if it has faded significantly since the full season.

The selectors were waiting for the magic of Lewsas to be completed.

Red eyes stare at the veradora.

- No.

Those eyes didn't look at Belladora.

I'm staring at someone far behind him.

"Oh, no..."

This self, called "Ice Flash," is not in my eyes.

To that fact, Belladora was furious.

"Don't lick me, I have a human flair ahhhhhhh!!"

It unleashed all the magic it could have, and Veradora created a giant blade of ice.

Piercing dozens of people at the same time. Extra size.

"Fallen, the relics of the old days ahhhh!!"

With the scream, the blade heads towards Luzas.

By contrast, Luisas just waved his wand.

"-" Loss Magic (Lost Magic)/Disaster Burial Flame ""

Everything was swallowed by the flames.

Blades, ice, armor, veradora, everything.

When the flames went out, there was already nothing left.

The knight on the lookout let him sleep and put silent boundaries around him.

This battle will be exposed after nightfall.

By then, you just have to finish everything.

- Let's go.

The silence is over.

A storm is coming.
