Soul Eater of the Rebellion

A huge torii painted in bright vermilion.

That was the appearance of the gate that the Dagger family had protected for 300 years.

The moment the Wisp Gate entered my sight, it would be a lie to say that I didn't feel emotion in my heart.I once wanted to overcome the ritual of trying to become a Blue Forest Flagmaster and fight to protect this gate.I didn't expect you to step in this way.

However, the emotion melted like light snow as we approached the gate.Because the magic of trembling fear was pouring out of the gate.

It crawled down to my feet like cold air, spreading twitchy skin and crawling up.It resembles, but not exclusively, the magic of the Onigami that confronted us on this island before.The magic of the Onigami was certainly intense, but I didn't feel such a perhaps familiar thrill.

This is the original power that does not go beyond the existing combs such as Mana and Odo.Heterogeneity that can be understood at the instinctive level as incompatible with me.When I noticed it, the pores in my whole body were relieved and a stiff sweat sprayed out.

I know the same thing, or something very close.What came to mind was the unknown hole in Titis's deepest depths - the dragon hole.

I see, this is how Kleia talked about the name of the Onimon at that time.

The first time I discovered a dragon hole, Craia lost consciousness after giving the name of the gate.I'm sure Claire felt the same way about me now.

The Onimon Gate and the Dragon Hole share the same power at their root.I can't say it's identical, but it's definitely homogeneous.

"... is there something wrong, sir?"

Craia, who was walking a little behind, asked modestly.Maybe he felt a little upset about me.

Ha, ha, ha. I answered in a calm tone.

"What, I just thought it was creepy that there was only a gate that contained the world's misfortunes - Ursula, would you let it pass like this?"

"Yes, I have the flag general's permission."

As Ursula said, the flagmen guarding the gate did not stop us.However, I guess I couldn't help but catch a sharp gaze from there.After all, Craig, who committed the great sin of leaving the island, and his brother-in-law, who had been forgiven, are about to enter the Onimon gate.

What was a little surprising was that I didn't feel much insult or contempt in the gaze directed at me.Not at all, but much more interesting and observational.

Because of my mind, I think there was something favorable about it.When I sneaked up with Ursula, he said that there were many strange flagmen, but they honored the talented honestly.The fact that young Ursula is sitting in tenth place with many of her predecessors in her ass is said to be commensurate with her strength.

Perhaps the strength doctrine has taken root in a good sense, just fighting inside the Onimon Gate while enduring this creepy magic every day.

With that in mind, I stepped into the gate.

Suddenly, he was struck by a strong shock similar to his dizziness, and stopped his feet unexpectedly.

In a strong sense, it was like riding Crow Solas and climbing up into the sky.At the same time, it was similar to the feeling of jumping off Crow Solas's back at high altitude and falling to the ground.

Inconsistent discomfort and discomfort, where contradictory sensations overlap and make your body uncomfortable.Your vision is shaking with such disgust that you're about to fall on your knees.

I couldn't help but bite my back teeth and break my knees.We can't let Claire and Ursula look pathetic in front of us.As I scolded both my knees, I kept standing there.

I don't know exactly how long the feeling lasted.It feels like it was a few seconds, and it seems like it lasted longer.

When I realized it, there was a completely different scene in front of me from Onigajima.

The first thing that jumped into my eyes was the rusty sky.

As I learned later, this was not a change in the sky that shifted (depressed) depending on time, from sunset to sunset.This turbid red color is the "clear weather" inside the gate.

There is also the sun, but just because it is blurry like sunlight, it does not cast sunlight on the ground.It's more like the moon than the sun, so it doesn't hurt my eyes at all when I look directly at it.

I will shift my gaze from the sky to the ground, thinking that it will not dry my clothes.

The fortress of the Dagger family, which was built to protect the gate, was much smaller and narrower than that of Shudo.Only the Blue Forest flagman is in this fortress, and it was natural to say that there are no residents, but many of the buildings are military-specific.

I don't think it would be necessary for me to fight my enemies with my attire, but this is probably the enemy's magic and I assume that I can't use my attire.Therefore, if all the cardiac costumers fall, the flagmen who cannot use the cardiac costume must also mobilize to protect the Onimon Gate.It was thought to be a defense in case of such a situation.

"Let's go to my room for now. [M]We need to talk about what's going to happen. "

Craia and I nodded together at Ursula's words.

This is how I wrote my first step inside the Gymnastics Gate.

◆ ◆

Ursula was ranked tenth in the first flag and was given such a large room in a painting of the barracks.

Having settled down in the room, we will share our opinions on our future actions.The purpose is to search for the missing Crimt.Since this was settled, the remaining problem was a concrete measure.

How can we find Crimt in the demonic world that neither the right nor the left - Ursula and the others call it the inside of the Onimun Gate, so I decided to do the same?

Originally, the demonic world was not a place where living people could walk around without any preparation.The strange magic that I felt when I walked through the Oni Gate was even stronger in the demonic world, and I had to constantly raise my strength and hold my body.

The same was true of Craia, Ursula, and even the defensive flagmen.

This is probably one of the reasons why a flagman is made up of only mindfulness wearers.You can't fight here unless you're a flagman of your own level.

Therefore, you must always improve your strength, so you cannot rest while you are in the demonic world.The flagmasters regularly returned to Shuudo to recover their strength.

This shackle prevents man from staying in the demonic realm for long.In the past, the Daggers did not reverse invade the demonic realm - or that is why they were unable to secure occupied territory even after a reverse invasion.

Moreover, according to Ursula, the influence that seems to belong to the Onigami gods has been increasing in various parts of the demonic world for a while, and it seems that the climate and soil pollution are progressing.After searching for Crimut in such a situation, we won't be able to find him first.

So what do we do?

I already had a plan for this.I had heard about the demonic world from Kleia beforehand, so I took measures.

Firstly, about restoring strength, but this can usually be overcome with the use of restorative medicine (potion).As I mentioned several times before, Kai is basically an individual's magic, so if you recover the magic, Kai will also recover.

With Miroslav's "Blood Smoke Sword" special healing potion made with my blood, he will be able to work in the demonic world for quite a long time.That's why I brought a lot of potions.Because the main ingredient is my blood, it is not difficult to make it locally.Because there is a way to drink my blood directly.

Personally, I didn't even need a potion.Originally, my soul eater's magic was bottomless, and I had plenty of room to fight Hydra for three days and three nights.Since then, the level has risen dramatically, and if you slay those monsters and eat their souls, you can eliminate as many deficiencies as you want.

Therefore, it was not necessary to think too much about the limits of action of the demonic world.

The next way to find the Crimt is to think about it.

According to Claire, Kremt entered the demonic world to defeat Azma, the king of demons.If so, it's fastest to talk to Azma herself.

Has Crimut already raided Azma or not?If you have already raided, has the raid succeeded or failed?Once those facts are discovered, the subsequent news will be easy to grasp.

Of course, demons will not respond when humans slap the gates of the royal palace with "sorry".Prior to that, even the Dagger family did not grasp the location of the city where the Demon King was due to the aforementioned limitations of action.

It was necessary to find out where King's Landing was and to meet with Azma for information.

Speaking specifically, we will capture important figures of the demon clan.This is also to be used as a hostage swap if the Kremt were captured by demons.

It seems like a sudden thought, but it is something that I am careful about.

The previous attack by the Demons was to grasp the power of the Dagger family.Then, as a matter of course, the next step will be a serious offensive.If I had captured the commander leading the army, the Demon King would have had to listen to us....
