Episode 148: A Boy with Horns

Grouse enters the castle and still finds many soldiers dead there. And the soldiers here look intact at first glance.

"But I can't breathe... what the hell happened to these people...?

Grouse hurried to the source of the lightning earlier in search of an answer. Then there is the Throne Room, and a big hole in the ceiling. Looks like the lightning went off from there.

And there was a strange sight in Glows' eyes. A man who would be the demon king of [Ruvino Kingdom] stood alone in the Throne Room. There were soldiers lying around, and there were amazing people lying.

(Is that... Garve Detruss!?

It was the leader of the Golden Bandit in the [Western and Woodben continents]. The white eyes were peeled off and cut quietly.

If so, is there one survivor?

I thought Ganange was the only one still standing. But...

"No, I'm not alone!?

Grouse's vision shows only the back of a large man, Ganange, but when he turned away, there was a person standing right in front of Ganange.

"... here, child...!?

I was amazed at the shape of the person standing there. A teenage boy. A boy with emerald hair and golden eyes. You look like a beautiful girl, but you're still a boy. The reason is that he is naked. That made it easy to determine his gender.

Two horns grow on the head. Her ears are pointed and her skin is brown. What struck me was the brilliance of those eyes. In a word, this is pure.

The next moment, the child creates a black thunder from his right hand with his frozen expression without showing any emotions.

(No way!?

Though I arrived at the black thunderbolt, Grouse was stunned by the fact that he was a young child.

The boy then throws the black thunder at the ganange standing in front of him. With an incredible electrical discharge, Ganange is struck by lightning all over his body.

Then something fluffy emerged from Ganange's body. It was something as weak as a phantom, which was slowly sucked away from Ganange's body and into the boy's open mouth.

(Did you eat...?

As the boy moved his mouth with chatter, Ganange knocked the giant body to the ground, as if he had lost his support. And the boy notices Glows for the first time there.

At the moment of confrontation, Glows felt a shivering sensation and was aggressively alert to the sword pointing at the boy.

Were you alerted? Like that!?

It was something that Glows had no experience with. Of course, I have met talented children many times. But in general, it made me feel futuristic, and I was neither afraid nor alert to its very existence.

But when I looked at the boy in front of me, he realized that he was the one who couldn't lose his mind. Moreover, my instincts forced me to realize that. This was my first experience.

The boy approached Petapeta and Glows naked. In Glows, I understood that this boy was responsible for the destruction of this country.

But the purpose is not clear. Where did this boy come from in the first place? Why are you naked? Why did you destroy [Ruvino Country]? Who the hell are you?

Question comes out like hot water one after the other. And the biggest problem is....

(Is this boy our enemy...?

This is exactly what it was. Maybe he destroyed it to stop the coup. If so, there is no reason to antagonize Gloucesters who were working for the same purpose.

But if it's for any other purpose, Grouse can't relax his vigilance because it could be his enemy.

And a little closer, the boy stopped his feet tightly. Then slowly he turned his face to the left and stared at the spot.

There are large curtains, and for some reason, there is no wind, but it is shaking little by little. And Grouse also realized, "Survivor!?" He went there earlier than the boy and looked inside the curtain.

There was a face Glows found out about with information.

"Are you sure... Mirage Swan Connie?

Yes, it was Mirage, the leader of the Golden Bandit of the Southern and Dadaneo continents, who shrank and trembled. It seems that the chiefs were still gathering in this country.

One of them, Gerb, seems to be dead.

Glows thought her survival would require her to listen in more detail, but her footsteps approached from behind. Looking back immediately, a boy stood right next to him. And he looks up at Glows.

Glows retracted reflectively. And when you hold the sword,

"I can't let you kill this man! It's an important source of information!

If the boy comes close to killing Mirage, we must stop him at all costs. Now she's the only one who knows what happened here.

"I don't think so, but who are you?

Grouse asks without expecting a response. But the boy is just looking up at Glows, keeping his silence. I can't see any emotions in that eye. It's as if a newborn child is showing an interest in moving things.

(I think it would be better to capture this boy here... but I have a dangerous smell)

Strengthen - Even though I think I can't help it in this situation, I have a strong feeling that if I do something bad, it will be irreversible.

But then something fell out of the big hole in the ceiling. And when he stood behind the boy, he fell on his knees and drooped his head.

Both the boy and Glows turn their attention to the person.

"I am delighted to be born. I have come to welcome you, my family."

When a man says so, he silently offers something to the boy. It is a tiger robe and the person is wearing the same.

(What is this guy...?

Grouse suddenly appeared and wondered at Fuku's adult man. But he finds the same horns on his head as the boy. Unlike a boy, only one is growing in his gray hair.

The boy received the robe and wore it as if he had shown interest.

"It suits you well. Let's go."

Then, the body of the man and the boy floats up fluffily. Grouse was aggressive and wondered if it was okay to let him go.

"Wait! Who the hell are you people?

But the boy ignored it and flew straight into the hole. However, only the man floated to the ground, but his body turned to the glow.

"... tell the Emperor."

……

"It's about time you got tired of being upstairs."

"Hmm!?

"Soon our prince will take his seat."

That being said, he came out of the hole as well as the boy.

And while Glows had emotions that could not be expressed in words, he was stunned by the feeling that further disturbing vortexes were about to occur in the future.
