"Everybody ready?

'Yes!'

'You can always!

Make sure you're ready, and I'll loosen the magic of the magic suppression I was putting on Illis just a little bit.

'Okay. We've loosened Illis' magic suppression, so the Demons should be here soon.... Communication magic may no longer pass during battle because distance will depart, but be careful not to be noticed by the Devil Clan then and move at your discretion '

Though the range of communication magic has expanded more than it used to, the intrusion is disqualification print magic. It doesn't get very far.

If you get Lurii to communicate instead, it will reach the whole thing, but that could lead to the demons finding out.

'Yes!'

'Okay!

That's how I was consulting with communications magic - the Demons moved.

Apparently, he's coming to check on you.

So far, the sub-demons don't seem to feel like they are a major threat to Illis, and there are only two demons turned to confirm.

... Of course, I adjusted the amount of magic I would unleash to be so.

"You're approaching just the two of us..."

"Oh.... it's an atmosphere where about five people are watching how things are going, so if you need anything, they'll be rushing right away though."

Talking about it, I move to the demonic blind spot, hiding my magic.

Thanks to the flashy magic of Illis, camouflage is easy to do.

And... the moment Ilis got into the sight of the demons, I waved my sword.

"What?"

Along with a dumb voice, the Devil's neck flies.

It was the demons of the undead who spoke out.

The sub-demons are quick to grasp the situation.

While distracted, the Demons immediately understood what needed to be done now and developed defensive magic around them.

But - it's too late.

By the time the Demons developed their defensive magic, my sword was already approaching the Demons' neck.

Sliding through the unfolded defensive magic, the sword gently severs the Devil's neck from his torso.

"Well... I wonder how far you found out"

Apart from sight, the Demon Nation also shares sensations of magic and other senses.

I wouldn't have gotten to the point of identifying my magic in this time, but it may be known about the magic reaction of the Devil's Sword.

... Most of all, the enemy will think of it as an Iris magic reaction when they find out the magic reaction of the Devil's Sword.

While I was thinking about that, the sub-demons began to move in a hurry.

You move fast just because you share your senses.

"Hey... isn't this under siege?

"Oh. It's a basic subdemonic tactic."

Essentially, the sub-demons prefer to attack by siege rather than waiting for the enemy to move.

The tactics the Yademons specialize in are attacks from blind spots linked to their peers, but it's hard to get blind spots when you're on the side of a raid.

If left alone, the siege will be completed in about twenty seconds.

But I'm not going to let that happen.

I don't move off the spot, I keep monitoring magic reactions.

Then - following the route as expected, one of the sub-demons tried to pass a position visible from Alma.

- You're right.

"Alma, throw the demon stone! It's under the feet of the demon tribe that passes!

'Okay!

That being said, the demonic stone thrown by Alma fell to the ground with an unnatural movement characteristic of a wired induction enchant.

A moment later, the Demon Clan passed over the Demon Stone - the Demon Stone exploded.

Of course, the sub-demons are not sweet enough to be defeated by such a small explosion of demonic stones.

But enough.

Because this demonic stone is meant to make the demon tribe think they've been trapped.

Watching the demons react I go back into the blind spot and amputate the subdemons' necks.

Now the Demons will think, 'My allies died in a strange trap'.

To that evidence...

"The Demons have begun to flee!

At the moment the third demon tribe died, the sub-demons began to leave us.

Now, you thought the siege was being read.

I gave Alma instructions to make her think so.

If Alma stood one meter off, or if the timing was three seconds slower, the workmanship would have been spotted.

While thinking about that, the Demons make the move as expected.

Once they started rendezvous with each other, running away from us.

- It's an exact response.

No matter how much you hide or dive into a blind spot, if there are as many as ten sub-demons in density, there is no way behind you.

Not to mention, there are seventeen Demons left.

You could defeat about three of us in the first place, but even with the four of us, it's not a good minute to deal with 14 subdemons.

The three of us will be killed lightly, and Illis, who survived thanks to his sturdiness, will only gradually be cut in strength and lose.

After being assembled by the Demons, there is no winning.

- So stop the rendezvous.

'The three of you, wait there!

That's what I said, accelerating to the critical point where the magic couldn't be found outside, approaching the demon tribe that was furthest from us.

And make your own explosion that made you look like an earlier demon stone, hunting the demon clan's neck almost simultaneously.

It's a much sweeter disguise than when I used Demon Stone. If you observe calmly, you will know in an instant that this is not a trap or something.

But I might let you do it now.

My departure from Illis completely unleashes the magic of Illis, as usual...... I mean, it shows a magical reaction of unlikely magnitude to man.

If disputed by its dsaxa, it can be misled to identify it as a trap even in the present imperfect guise.

That's what I thought - apparently the demon movement isn't what I expected.

"Do we find out about the boulders?"

I snapped as I hurried back to Illis and the others.

Apparently, they've realized it wasn't a trap that was defeating the Demons, it was the Raiders.

The sub-demons stopped moving and began to activate their sensing magic to crush each other's blind spots.

This is totally a precaution to alert the raiders.

But from the movement, you don't seem to know that the Raiders are me.

Perhaps the disguise goes through, but there are quite a few subdemons around the head who decided 'there are raiders disguised as traps'.

- It's not good to be joined. Do you want to put on some kata?

"Damn..."

I was nearby, cutting off the sub-demons with my demon sword, while rushing down the road.

Heading there is an intersection.

The terrain of this city is already grasped.

There are several important points for the Demons to rendezvous.

Failure to pass there greatly limits the route through which the Demons can rendezvous.

That's why we keep it down.

... By the way, one of those points is that Illis is standing.

I've been thinking about the possibility of this kind of development, so I've positioned Iris to make it as difficult for the enemy to move as possible.

"Huh!

"And where are the enemies... ghhhhhhh!

"There can be invisible enemies... haha!

I just held down the stronghold, and the crusade is going well.

But... maybe it's time to hide who I am.

No matter how important points you suppress, the Demons can fly and other routes exist.

The rest of the Demons have already cut ten, but those ten have already turned into one group, and the placement is running out of holes.

If we attack here, my place will be completely exposed and we'll have a frontal collision.

Fighting a group of ten sub-demons is bad minutes.

... If you defeat some of them the moment you get Lurii or Alma to show up and distract you, you can win, but it's risky.

No matter how much along the way I attack, ten demonic opponents are a little heavily loaded on Lurii and Alma.

Lurii and Alma will be safe 80% more than me and Iris will attack soon.

But given the remaining 20% of the possibilities, I'm not willing to use that operation.

In the meantime, let's rendezvous once. There's no point blocking the stronghold more than the enemy has already joined us.

"All three of you, are you all right?

'It's okay!

"We're fine, too! The enemy hasn't found us in the first place!

Iris played a decoy role on his demonic opponent, but he still can't break Iris' defense with the offense of one or two sub-demons, which is intact.

Looks like the two Luriis have been able to hide themselves safely.

The question is, what do we do from here?

The numbers have shredded to nearly half, and I can't help but pull here and wait for the enemy to be caught off guard.

But when you give them time, you don't know how many days it will take to be alerted and dealt with, so if possible, you want to settle here.

Thinking of it as something like that - suddenly, the Demons showed unnatural movements.

All of a sudden, the Demons began to move in different directions than we did.

As if it had appeared to the demons, even new enemies.

If I were to use the decoy, the enemy would have moved just like this.

I have no idea what's going on.

But this is exactly what I was looking for.

"Opportunity! We're launching an attack!

I won't miss this period, I'll pack my distance to the Demons.

Of course, it's possible that the enemy deliberately created such a situation to frame me.

But Kang, a fighter who had worked out since his previous life, had told him otherwise.

- The Demons are pointing their detection abilities in the wrong direction, not to miss the enemies they have finally found.

I guess' someone 'who is attracting the Demon Clan is wary of using it even in covert magic.

Thanks to this, the raid from behind is very easy to do.

Hidden until now, he planted in the Yademons the realization that 'the enemy is good at hiding'.

And - just around the time the Demons started attacking 'someone', I caught up with the Demons.

"Gu!"

"Huh!

"Is that a counterattack!?

I will slaughter the defenseless demons in an instant.

It is very easy to defeat, thanks to the density of enemies for coordinated attacks.

The Demons immediately tried to reconnect, but that was unacceptable.

"Oh!

In the middle of a bunch of demons - or just around the corner where I am, an enormous spear of Illis can be thrown.

The spear, which clashed to the ground at a tremendous speed, blew the perimeter of the landing point.

Naturally, the formation of the sub-demons caught in it screwed up.

... If I hadn't avoided it, I'd be dead too.

"Hey, Iris, don't go after me."

'I threw it appropriately because I thought you could avoid flying to Mr. Mathias! Sorry!'

...... yeah. Because of the appropriateness of the spear-throwing motion, I felt that way.

In the first place, there's no control over Iris to throw spears accurately.

Even with that in mind, I will take down the demon clan that broke the formation.

The fewer the subdemons, the easier it will be to deal with them, so if the number goes down to this point, crusading is no longer just a task.

I left only one Demon clan to destroy them all, and trapped the last one in the junction.

I won't destroy them all because there are a few circumstances.

And I turned to someone who was the target of the Demon Clan.

... Well, I've already figured out who that 'someone' is.

"Hey, you okay?"

I kick the ground and get to whoever has become the Decoy of the Demons.

It was the person who had fallen there, as expected - that is, Gilás.

Though my cross spear went right in, Gilás, who was attacked by as many as ten demons, is seriously wounded dying.

What still hasn't been attacked by steeples or hard to heal is a natural combat sensibility move?

This condition can be cured quickly with healing magic.

Rather, the premise of undergoing healing magic is enough to suggest that he was under attack to make it easier to heal.

"You've had a good attack."

That's what I say, but I do the restorative magic on Gilás.

The remaining sub-demons already have one left.

This one is trapped in the junction magic I put up.

I didn't defeat this demon tribe because if I wiped out all the demons, I thought Gil 'as would be sorry.

Gilás must have come looking for a fight anyway, and if Gilás himself wants, he can let him do enough to fight the last subdemon tribe.

This time, it was easy to defeat the Yademons thanks to Gil 'as.

Thinking about that...... Gilás got up.

"Yes...... hmm? Didn't I get killed by some weird demons?

"No, you weren't dead. No matter how much healing magic, dead humans can't be cured."

"... Matthias? Looks like you've been helped.... thank you."

That's what Gilás says, looking around.

And -.

"... Demon Clan, are you there anymore?

Gilás asks me with a sorry face.

Speaking of which, as expected, do you still want to fight while they keep killing you just now?

This guy is a real combat freak, after all.

"I thought I'd say that, and I left only one"

As I say, I refer to the junction that trapped the remaining sub-demons.

The sub-demons seem to be trying to escape, but with obstruction by Alma, they seem to be failing to escape.

"… it is not inexplicable that enemies should be prepared on purpose... You mean Matthias left behind an enemy he could defeat for me on purpose?

"Was that a useless care?

"No. I certainly don't like to fight prepared enemies, but it's a thousand times better than not being able to fight the mighty enemies in front of you"

Gilás answers my question and turns to the Demons.

And then he slashed the junction with a sword in his hand...... he was bounced.

"... stiff"

That being said, Gilás taps into the kingdom by imparting the magic of strengthening to the sword.

- Since we fought before this, the level of grant has increased.

Since then, it hasn't been a week.

Most importantly, an increased level of conferral does not cut the line.

No matter how many sub-demons you speak of, you can't trap a kind of demon in a junction that breaks to that extent.

"... hey, you can't break it"

"I'm making it so it doesn't break. I'm disarming you."

If you say so, I will undo the magic of the junction.

I'd really rather not fight too much after treating all those injuries, but if this is all well, I'll be fine.

Gil 'as seems sturdy.

"Eat!"

The sub-demons were slaughtered by Giraas when they were bound.

I didn't leave it particularly conscious, but the surviving Demons seemed to be the type to use swords.

"Come on!

With that said, Gilás takes the Sword of the Subdemons and begins and strikes back.

The sub-demons received the attack with their swords.

The situation is - almost mutual.

In power and technique, the Subdemons are obviously winning better.

But Gilás has a mysterious sense of movement.

You're probably unconscious, but sometimes you make great, good moves, like a skilled swordsman.

Thanks to this, the battle was not pushed by either, but a precarious but close to each other.

But that equilibrium didn't last long.

In the middle of the fight, Gilás suddenly moved faster.

- "Body strengthening".

It's one of the most effective auxiliary magics for a swordsman to use as a basis for combat.

The delay in the opponent's response can be deadly, especially when it is kept warm at the beginning of the battle and activated suddenly after the enemy is accustomed to his movements.

It was written on the first person in the textbook I gave it to - did you read it properly?

"Become..."

The sub-demons were unable to cope with Gilás' suddenly faster movements.

Gilás' sword goes straight to the shoulders of the Demon Clan.

And where the sword was to reach the demon clan - Gilás was unchanging and bestowed magic on the sword.

This magic looks familiar - but it's magic I didn't expect.

"- recoil iron slaughter!

Slash the demons as Gilás screams like that.

"Reactive Iron Slash" is a derivative magic of "Iron Slash" that raises the sharpness of the sword.

Instead of being more powerful than "iron slaughter," there is no small amount of damage and damage to your body either.

The recoil is all over the body and even the guy used to fighting, so much so that he can't move for a while after using it three times.

Not only that, but the effect of recoil reduces the accuracy of the sword muscle.

That's why I rarely use magic.

I only wrote a very small one in the textbook I gave you.

... You said you didn't like reading books, but I've often found this kind of magic.

But for Gilás, who uses a sword that is not as precise as it was originally, 'reactionary iron slaughter' is perhaps the most powerful magic.

I wish I could stand the recoil.

"but ahhh!

"Gu...... it hurts after all"

A subdemonic clan with its torn body raises the cries of agony, and Gilás also looks at his arms as he distorts his face in agony.

But still, Gilás didn't stop.

Gilás waves his sword without hesitation and rides the recoil slaughter iron again.

And to the knife to be returned, plus recoil iron slaughter.

... This is the third time.

When you're a normal person, you're incapable of moving, but Gilás' footsteps are unshakable.

Gil 'as still waves his sword.

The recoil of 'reactionary iron slaughter' is not a substitute for being able to survive with temper or taste.

Suppose you can withstand continuous use - you mean you already used 'recoil iron slaughter' to build up your workouts?

It's a lot of impotence.

I've only eaten "reactionary iron slaughter" three times to keep standing, and the Subdemons are seriously wounded dying.

And this isn't just about the Demons - combat is the scariest thing after hunting them down.

If you are at all alarmed, you may even be killed once and for all by the attack of an abandoned enemy.

Gilás is a rare material to die here.

If you survive and build up your workouts, you will surely have tremendous fighting power.

I've also thought about putting in a lay before they kill me - but let's believe in Gilás' sense of battle here.

"Xama - kill it!

The sub-demons unleashed their last power and struck Gilás full of blows.

"Demon Strike".

One of the special magics that can only be used by Demons.

It's magic that grants tremendous power and speed to the sword in exchange for a recoil that can almost be called abandonment.

You can say an enhanced version of "Reactive Iron Slash".

Such a magical sword strikes Gil 'as.

The sword, accelerated by massive magic, should have the power to tear the human body apart after just a few touches.

An inevitable orbit that captures the center of gravity upright.

At least, it's impossible to see it at Gilás speed before avoiding it.

But Gil 'as avoided.

It's as if the Demons had predicted an attack, long before they used 'Demon Strike'.

And move on to counterattack as it flows.

"- recoil iron slaughter"

Gilás plunges his sword into the sub-demonic tribe, which has exhausted its last power.

It's a beautiful move, no waste.

- Gilás fell on the spot at the same time that the Demons were doomed.

There doesn't seem to be anything else in my life, but it doesn't look like I'm going to get up.

I guess my body couldn't stand the recoil I used "recoil iron slaughter" four times.

"You got a lot stronger in a few days."

Even if there were two GilAs when you fought me before, you wouldn't beat GilAs now.

In a few days, Gilás got that much stronger.

"Sort of.... Still, just take down one Demon clan that you defeated nearly ten people on your own. I'm gonna work out again."

That's what Gilás says. He moves only his neck and sees the fallen demon clan.

Apparently, you don't have the energy to just get up.

"Did that book help?

"Oh. I can't read it myself, so I got a guild clerk I know to read it to."

You had me read it......

Imagine the scene where Gilás is making me read and listen to the book, that's medium-surreal.

That's for sure.

"Hey... what do you think we should do about this situation?

We're close to the center of the city.

With all that flashy fighting, people naturally get together.

Besides...

"Hey, the lord's down!

"Something's wrong with the lord! Why the devil's horn from the lord!

This town was ruled by demons.

In other words, the demons we defeated now are considered by the inhabitants to be lords and great men of the city.

If that had fallen flabby, the city would be in havoc.

Thanks to the Horn of the Demon Clan, I might be able to explain it to the point that they were Demons.

But the problem is then we deal with it.

Some people may also have survived in the upper levels of the city, but whoever was doing the upper levels in a city so dominated by demons could be stained with demons.

There is no longer a man in this town who can be a leader.

But even now, there are a lot of bandit-like rogues in the city who have fought us.

If no one can be a leader, the city will be in havoc.

No, you can say the mess has already begun.

And the people who can fit in this mess are not already in this town.

"... isn't this a good idea?

"Oh. That's not good.... We need someone who can rebuild the city, but there's no such guy in the city right now. … it will take some time to get help from other lords."

"Ask the great men of the Alliance to command... Oh, you can't because the Alliance was also ruled by the Demons..."

Truth is, there's not much more wrong with this town as far as we're concerned than the Demons are gone.

There's no power in this city that can disturb our purpose.

We came here because the demons in this town were going to get in the way of using demonic props to find the demons.

All you have to do is leave Forkia alone and activate the Demon Prop, and that will accomplish the purpose.

But...... I have the cooperation of the Kingdom of Eis for my activities in other countries, so leaving Forkia alone could be a problem later.

Thinking about that...... Gilás opened his mouth.

"... hey. I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but in short, is Forkia good enough that the lords and all that demonic stuff are gone and no one to rule the city because of the defeat of those guys?

"That's what I'm talking about"

Listening to me, Gilás tried to get up.

And I said face to face.

"Hey. Can you move my body with healing magic or something?

"The recoil of 'reactionary iron slaughter' cannot be dispelled by restorative magic.... there is' dilution 'magic by extending the recoil to a long time, okay?

"Oh. That's fine"

When I heard that word, I used the magic of 'recoil dilution' on Gilás.

Even when it comes to the magic of diluting the recoil, it simply extends the recoil that would otherwise fall out in about three days to about six days.

I've used it on humans who used 'reactionary iron slaughter' four times, and it won't allow them to fight properly.

"Thank you.... I'll take care of it later. You can't beat Mathias in battle, but this is my S-rank adventurer's turn."

"Recoil dilution," Gilás said as he stood up.

Then raise your guild card high and high and declare it to the inhabitants gathered around you.

"I'm Gil 'as, the S-Rank Adventurer of the Listier Guild! The emergency command of the Laws of the Union of Radigna puts Forkia under my command from now on!

"... Emergency Command?

"Oh. There's a system where S-rank adventurers take their place when no one can command them in relation to demons or anything. The Demons treat themselves like demons, so now is the time."

Hearing that, Alma and Lurii looked at each other with a worrying look.

Probably saying, '... to a guy who can't even read the book himself, does he have a replacement for the lord?' But you think.

... I'm worried the same way.

"Gil 'as, you say?

"Gil 'as... is that Gil 'as?

"As far as guild cards go...... sounds real"

When I heard Gilás' name, the people around me started bothering me.

To such people, Gilás asks.

"Hey, is there a guild guy in here? I need to ask you something."

"I'm an Alliance employee...... what is it?

"Take me to the guild executives' place in this city. I want someone who can use it."

"Ri, got it!

That said, the guild clerk began walking towards the guild with Gilás.

Apparently, "Emergency Command" is just binding enough to make Alliance officials obey.

- Then, roughly ten minutes later.

Gilás came out of the guild with a man.

From the outfit, you're the great guy there in the guild.

"From now on, this guy will give instructions in my place. Until the replacement commander arrives, the residents will follow this guy. I'll beat the shit out of him."

Hearing that, Alma made a questionable voice.

"... a round throw?

"Oh, I don't know anything about politics. It's best to pick someone you can trust and leave them to him."

Gilás answers Alma's question.

"By the way, how did you choose who you seem to trust?

"It's Kang."

Gilás lends only the S-rank name and leaves politics to the guy who can do politics.

I see, that makes sense.

Don't worry about this, I'm going to be able to leave Forkia.

... and before that.

"Gil 'as, I'd like to get into a Class I regulatory area near here, can I get your permission? The name of the regulatory area is definitely" Forkia Territorial Regulatory Area. "

"What can I do for you in the regulatory area?

"Oh, there's something I'd like to use."

"Okay. Wait a minute."

So Gilás takes the paper that was nearby.

Then he wrote something down on the paper, signed it, and then handed it to me.

On the paper, it says:

――――――――――――――――

Permit

In order to deal with the emergency, the following four persons shall be granted access to the 'Folkia Territorial Regulatory Area':

Permitted: Matthias, Illis, Lurii, Alma

Issued by: Emergency Commander Gil 'as

――――――――――――――――

... Gil 'as, you were able to write a decent sentence.

Well, if I can't write a letter, I wouldn't work for a boulder, an S-rank adventurer, etc.

"Helpful"

Don't thank me.

That's what Gilás said, entering the guild.

Well... now I'm ready.

All you have to do is go to the regulatory area and activate the demon props.

... the really hard part is after it starts up.
