Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Chapter 7: Unilateral Promises

A small village facing a lake where fisheries thrive, screaming and yelling continue uninterrupted.

When Renoir and the others approached, the [Knights Without Flags] were already in the middle of a battle with the target.

"Guuuuu!?

Dan!

Dan's armored giant flew like a pebble with his gigantic arms swinging sideways.

Just like Renoir and the others, an unknown monster with a mixture of orcs and dragons.

"Hmm!!

Rapier, who had Zeke's magic run, pierced the monster's arm through the scale.

The storm that kept on throwing opened a big hole in the monster's arm.

Oops!

"The Boulder is the Commander-in-Chief!!

Siegfried's penetration was remarkable in the absence of a single scratch on any of the other team members.

But....

"... what's going on?"

The penetrated monster's arm regenerates rapidly... immediately after it bleeds out a little.

No scratches, no scales, no marks.

"Ngaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

"Gefu!!

"Giggle!?

And once again, he starts to rage and rage like a frenzy.

Wooden buildings in small villages are completely destroyed by flying crew members, monsters flying rocks, etc., and many bodies (shrapnel) are mass-produced.

But no one can blame the [Knights Without Flags].

No matter how many times you injure yourself, it will heal as if nothing happened.

The Third Division alone, which lacks its current main strength, is too much of an enemy.

"... I have to think of something."

♢♢♢

Renoir dances over the monster's perimeter, passing through a boxing blow of weight, and then jumps up... after a backstep.

"--Selyaaaaaa!!

The best blow with a stick pointing up to the ground and a leap of momentum.

It's a much more powerful attack than before.

"Bugaaaa!!

The stick shattered the monster's arm that covered his head and crushed his head.

A monster who bleeds from his head, standing at his feet and burying himself on the ground.

But....

"... wow, is this going to heal?"

Healthy brown skin sweats and says Renoir is in trouble because of its increased complexity.

Beyond that gaze, there is a monster that plays back moaning.

I don't know, Shannon.

……

Ask Shannon with a spare face to cover him with a bow.

Even this opponent doesn't seem to think about losing.

"... if the blood doesn't regenerate, it's time for the anemia to stop moving.... if the blood is regenerating, I can only think of burning it up or burying it alive if I can't move."

I didn't want to do it as much as possible, but I continued to suggest it with a difficult face.

"Hmm, well, let's start with a little more..."

"--Should I let him bleed?

There stood a Hood boy who had arrived sometime.

Yeah, yeah.

"I've just arrived..."

Shannon was puzzled, and Lislit revealed discomfort.

Without being interested in such a thing, the boy draws one sword at a time from his left and right waist into a monster who intimidates him.

I let the scarf wrapped around my neck wander, my right hand in turn, my left hand holding a sword in the opposite hand, and I went for a walk.

Of course, the monster's fury went from the front to the boy walking by.

"-Boooooooooo!!

A monster who waves a fist that focuses on speed because it has been passed on by brown humans like fairies until now.

Everyone had a feeling that that boy, who didn't feel any power, would blow to pieces.

But the giant fist cut through the sky, and the two swords began to spin.

……

Everyone keeps quiet.

The sound of the sword slashing the wind and flesh... and the screaming of the monster.

[Knights Without Banners] The way the brown beauty danced, who took over the monster he was dealing with on his own and showed too much room, was just a roll. A "power" dance that can be seen at a glance as powerful.

Even if this beautiful woman were said to be the strongest of the Wright Kingdom, she would not have had any doubts.

But it was hard to believe from common sense that the monster in front of me and the boy danced.

"Boo-ooo!?

Cut the inside and abdomen of the scaleless monster's arm without interruption at high speed.

"It's a big deal....."

"Wow...."

Keep rotating the blade while avoiding a single piece of paper, no matter how you shake your huge arm vertically and horizontally.

The villagers are fascinated by the appearance of the best dance, revealing a voice of admiration.

……

"You're kidding...?

However, there was something else in the eyes of the three sisters.

"... can you see her in the future?

Rugged expression of Renoir who couldn't stop looking.

Chrono's movements are perfectly compatible with the monster.

If the monster's arm is swinging down, he will wake up halfway at the exact same time and have a constant sword dance.

After that, the chest is chopped with swords held in both hands as it rotates parallel to the ground.

What is really frightening is that they all fit within the bounds of human movement.

I was still more convinced that it was a monster.

The three sisters heighten their vigilance to the unknown boy while looking at the monster who bleeds with the blade, heals the wound, and sprays blood over and over again.

"Bugaaaaaaa!?

No matter how many times Rurenore smashed his head, the anger that had never been able to wither weakened, and the monster finally began to escape from Kurono.

"... I don't know how to say this, but bleeding doesn't make any sense."

Return the sword to the sheath with your familiar hands, and talk to the three sisters while you watch your back.

"I'm late, and I'll take care of it. There can be no defeat. I promise."

"Eh, hey!

The voice of Shannon trying to stop him won't reach Kurono, who runs to the woods alone after the monster.

No one could imagine that there was really a way to crush monsters with amazing regenerative abilities, and a question mark was raised in the boy's convincing words.

♢♢♢

A monster forced to mutate runs through a familiar forest.

In the form of anger stained with anger, the feelings of resentment towards humans are exposed, kicking the trees and flowers away.

"--Can I come here?"

A small shadow jumps over you and falls forward.

"Gah!?

At that time, the sword was already stuck on the back of both feet.

The scales of the dragon were easily torn apart and sewn to the ground.

What's more...

――

Two swords were thrown into the ground.

"Gear!!

A black-dyed blade pierces the monster's knee.

Kurono doesn't need to spend any time with someone who doesn't go beyond the limits of human beings to disguise himself.

I tried not to penetrate and threw two wasted shots at the fallen monster.

They jump up and throw them, anchoring the back of the monster's hand to the ground.

"Gwww!"

"I remember the taste of human blood, and I won't let you escape."

Chrono soars down to the face of a monster moaning in anguish.

"It's a nasty regenerative ability, but... maybe if you hit it hard and wipe it out, it won't be a problem."

Kurono's physical ability jumps up with the Magic Concentration Method, but he puts his pure power into his fist.

The area calms down.

All beings are frightened and silence soars down as if they were breathing.

……

It is no exception whether it is a monster or not.

Fearing something in the form of an overwhelmingly powerful person in front of me, the head dyed in anger becomes cold.

……

Tears overflowing from the monster's eyes.

I lost my anger and thought of my brothers who had been slaughtered and the rest of the herd.

Sadness.

"... I'm sorry. I have no way of knowing exactly what you're so sad about. But if I miss you here, that anger will go to race itself, as it did earlier, right? I think some of them are irrelevant."

Chrono deduced that from the presence of those around him.

"But I promise. If I ever find out why you're sad, and if there's anything I can do at that time... I'll do everything I can."

Eyes tightly with the tearing monster, and after swearing a firm vow, he clasped his hands with a dark magic that swayed like a sunburn.

I decided to see the end in the least painful way possible.

And...

"... I promise."
