Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~

- - - At the same time, over Wang Du - - -

Over Wang Du, about 1 km.

Lurii and Alma were falling towards the king's capital.

"You have a vacant lot around there. Let's get down there."

"Uh, there's a small forest over there, and you don't have to be more conspicuous over there, do you? There's no one here, so it's not dangerous."

The Luriis remember the magic to get acceleration in the air in case this happens.

As a result, the fall location can be adjusted to some extent.

If it's about the size of the vacant land Lurii pointed to, it's possible to land it somehow.

... It's pretty critical even though it's large enough to land, so it's dangerous if you miscontrol it.

I guess that's also why Alma suggested landing in the woods.

However, Lurii rejected the proposal.

"That will take time. The closest thing to the Royal Palace is that vacant lot."

That would be the earliest if we landed in front of the royal palace, but there are many people in front of the royal palace, unable to land safely.

Of all the vacant lots the size of which can be landed with the magical control of the Luriis, the place where Luriis went is closest to the Royal Palace.

"But at that distance, if we do everything we can, it'll only take about a minute, right? I'd rather have a forest that can land safely..."

"Matty, you said you'd buy me some time. It's too big to make more than a minute."

In normal and high-level combat, a second weighs differently.

If it's a battle like the one the school students were playing, there are at most three times they can attack, even if they have ten seconds.

Five at most would be a good place to be a swordsman supposedly strong in this era.

If it's chanting magic, it could take ten seconds to even release one shot.

But in the Battle of Matthias, it's not strange to have dozens or even hundreds of gladiators if you do bad.

If such a battle extends for less than a minute, each other's wear and tear will be very great.

The more high-level the battle, the quicker it will be settled.

Lurii understood that in his previous battles.

That's why Lurii chooses the faster, even if he's going to land in a critical location for his ability to control.

Failure is unacceptable, but if it's magic, I practice everyday. I didn't mean to fail from the beginning.

"... ok. I'm going down to the clearing too. After you land, head straight to the royal palace?

"Let's do that. Thanks to Mr. Iris, the town will make a fuss, so on the contrary, it's easy to talk through."

"How many towns are making a scene, and if you run into the royal palace without permission, you'll be driven away, or you'll be jailed for the worst..."

"Matty, the people at the Royal Palace know I'm a party member with you, so you shouldn't do that. I'm a little sorry, Matty, but let's just go here and make it feel like we're threatening you in your name. That's the fastest."

With that said, Lurii looks to the royal palace.

It's a seriously noisy statement that I usually have in Lurii, but I guess I'm giving top priority to shortening my time.

"... so what if I don't get permission?

"With me and Alma, we can forcibly break through as much as the protection of the Royal Palace. Problem is, it's a treasure trove lock, but I'm confident I can break it if it's not different from when I came here before."

"Lurii, you're starting to look like Matty..."

That said, Alma only gave him a flashy face for a moment, but soon he got a serious look.

"Are you serious about this now?

"Absolutely."

"... ok. I'll follow you. Hopefully, I don't want to use this."

So Alma looks at the bow in her hand.

If Zaridias' crusade fails, the people in this city will almost certainly be wiped out.

And the success or failure of the crusade rests on Matthias - and on the Devil's Sword for Matthias to win.

Even if I know that, I don't want to fight the inhabitants of the King's Capital.

Praying that the people of the royal palace would respond to the persuasion, Alma saw the ground approaching.

"It's time for the ground."

"Calm down, but don't slow down too much to land. Perhaps if we fell, the nearby crowd would gather, so we'd better run through the magic and avoid it."

"Okay!

Talk to him. Lurii and Alma take a landing stance.

Defensive magic and muscle strengthening are also important to protect yourself from falls, but landing posture is also very important.

The two had learned from Mathias how to land in such a way that they would be able to fight and walk with all their strength as soon as they landed.

Nearly a kilometre drop distance doesn't change that. Just more magic to use to aid.

... Neither of us thought we were going to use that technology to jump off a dragon at an altitude of one kilometer.

- With such training achievements, the two landed safely.

"What the fuck!?

"It looked like the dragon dropped something..."

"Wasn't that human!?

The sound of the fall was awesome because it fell from a height of nearly a kilometer, and people gathered from around.

A lot of people gathered because of the noise of dragons appearing in the sky and a lot of people out there.

But Lurii and Alma don't take it personally.

"I'll run through it!

"Yes!"

The two use the magic of simply hiding themselves and jump over the crowd to the royal palace.

Enough magic used by Lurii and Alma for one hassle is enough to deceive the eyes of ordinary people.

Only three, second school students who happened to be on the spot, noticed what the Luriis looked like, but they didn't try to go after them.

In this situation, where the dragon appeared, Lurii and Alma, who had previously left the King's capital, descended.

The students understood very well that something was going on, although they could not grasp the situation.

"Hey, it's Mr. Lurii and the others who just fell, isn't it? You came to reinforce me about the dragon?

"... I don't feel hostile from the dragon, but I'm pretty sure it's about that. I'm concerned that Mr. Mathias wasn't there, but it looks like he ran away in a great hurry, and there's going to be something going on.... Do you want to join us?

"Even if the three of us get our hands on each other badly, we'll get our feet together. Wouldn't it be first to gather the numbers?

"... you're absolutely right. I'll report to the principal, so you two keep your voices shut for the rest of the students in the quarters."

School II classes also include coping with emergencies.

The contents of the textbooks Matthias left in the school are not the only way to fight since the battle began.

Before the battle began, methods for exercising their power in the most efficient manner were also included in the class content of the Second School.

As the sun was still shallow after those classes started, not many students wore it, but fortunately the three of us here were excellent among the second schools.

Thus the students of the second school also began to prepare for the imminent battle.

◇

- Lurii and Alma were approaching the Royal Palace as the students of the second school prepared for the battle, avoiding the crowd by running on the roof of the building.

"... hey, are you out of your mind?

"Is it the magic of the devil clan?... Unfortunately, I think it's real. Matty, you were right."

Lurii answers the questions raised by Alma while running.

In the king's capital, there is a reaction from a different demon race than Zaridias.

Matthias had heard of the possibility of this situation on the road to the Wang capital.

The Wangdu Grand Junction does prevent the intrusion of the Demon Nation, but if you are a relatively weak Demon Nation, you can slip through the Junction by taking the time to impose a disguise.

There will be no such magic technique in the Demon Nation today, except if Zaridias is involved.

It is not surprising that Zaridias is lurking demons in the King's Capital in preparation for something more than he is moving to destroy humans.

Matthias is the most vigilant person for the Demons right now, but the most vigilant country is this kingdom of AIDS.

"... hide, lest the demons find out?

"At the time I came down from the sky, I think it's too late. If you're going to fight anyway, cut back on the rest of the time."

"Are you sure you found out already? I guess we'll just have to defeat the Demons somehow."

"It's going to take a while, so I'd like to avoid a fight if I can..."

While we talk about that, the two push the king's capital without slowing down any pace.

Then about a minute later, I saw the royal palace.

- In front of the royal palace, the king stood with strict security.

Apparently, following reports that a dragon has appeared in Wang Du, he is out to see how things are going.

"I have a king... but you're under strict security"

"Matty, I hope you remember us in your case, and you're going to have to storm. Is the worst a forcible breakthrough..."

Using audible enhancement for a whisper consultation, the two rushed toward the king.

I won't slow down. Surrounded by the premise of being stopped, the aim is first of all to be noticed by the king.

The guards guarding the royal palace try to stop it, but there's no way a regular guard can stop the two of them.

"Your Majesty, this way!

A guard who held back beside the king tries to let the king escape while serving as the king's shield.

In fact, it's an easy situation if you two want to assassinate the king.

But the king shouted, shaking off the guard's hand.

"Lurii-Arventrot! Where's Matthias!
