Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Kathy, capital of the Republic of Ralman.

This mountainous country had few deals or exchanges with other countries, and many of its famous Monsters' troops were mysterious.

In the flickering snow, Second Lieutenant “Zankok Marsi” leads his troops into the Council's "Kathy Parliament Hall" without hesitation.

His exhaled breath is white and tells of the arrival of the cold season in Ralman's year.

"That's it for you."

"" "" Ha!

In front of one of the tight doors of some inner security, tell your men not to stop walking and step on their feet alone.

While still in his 30s, Lt. Zancok's reputation within the Council is also very high due to his track record of ensuring success in his ability and mission to bring in his boss.

I repeatedly checked the hairstyle that had been prepared to match Kaiser's beard and shouted in front of the large door in one room.

It would have been named after the entry, but only for the nervous people who were supposed to be in this room.

"This is Lieutenant Zancok! I heard your call, and here you are!

Come in.

Ha!

Zancok enters the room in a tingling factory.

There was only one person waiting for Zancok in a spacious space that even felt sacred.

The back length is low, and you can see from the crouched voice earlier that he is also an old man.

He is one of the senators who practically makes the Republic of Ralman cowhide.

Lieutenant Zancok, I need to ask you something.

"Ha! It's an honor!

A calm voice echoes in the sparkling interior.

The old man said it was a favor, but Zancok understood that it was a secret mission.

"One of our troops was destroyed near the border with the Wright Kingdom the other day.... you know what?

"Yes! I remember we're still investigating!

In response, he quietly pointed to the table nearby.

This poisonous purple chain magic instrument enters the field of view from a while ago and makes Zancok's heart jump even if he doesn't respond.

"It's a 'piston' controller. I'll lend it to you."

Ha!

One of the trumpets of the Republic of Ralman.

It is possible to kill an army lightly, even though it is not built for combat.

The pleasure of having one of the greatest combat powers naturally trembles, and your nose becomes rough.

"There are two things I want you to do. One, I want you to investigate lightly the vicinity of the destroyed unit again. The second is...."

The second was something that Zancok would not have expected.

"... the performance experiment of the 'Pokémon' in [Demon of the Swamp]"

"Are you a performance experiment?"

"Experiments seem to be the exception. I think it's time to hunt down [Demon of the Swamp]."

"Ooh...!

That powerful monster may join Ralman.

Zancok shook with joy at the fact that he would be able to carry out the operation.

Whatever it is, we must succeed in our operation.

"I've sent a scout to [Swamp Demon] first, so I'll take command of them after they meet. If you use the" Pokémon "formula, you can definitely retreat even if you don't have to fight. Measure his strength."

Ha!

"Take some information home, lest it become a double dance for the destroyed."

Ha!

Zankok, who left in front of the Senate with exhilaration, was burning into a role that might be remembered in history.

Above all, you can treat one of those "artificial beasts (chimeras)" as you please.

It made sense to go to the lab to receive the "ceremony" faster.

……

The old man thinks that Zancok left the room.

The Senate chose him partly because of his obsession with achieving his goals... no, then his thirst for fame was terrible.

If he's in danger of not choosing a means, he should be able to carry out his mission.

The destruction of the troops and the appearance of the mysterious forces of the Black Demon King in the Kingdom of Light, as well as the disappearance of the birth parents of the "Artificial Demon Beast", I can't help but hurry to get accustomed to the [Demon of the Swamp].

"A broken monster who contracted with the magicians of a long time ago and obtained various kinds of magic as a reward... is it the nature of the superior that I want to follow..."

I watched the cold sky blowing from the window and quietly murmured as I dreamed of my ambition.

Kars Wetlands.

This place is filled with fog with unique spikes and roaring plants.

Closer to the center, the muddy feet get worse, and by the time you see the small land in the middle, your body will be swallowed up by the swamp.

"... it's like a story... magical world."

A young advance party member says with a bitter face to the first time he sees the Kars wetlands.

All monsters are stupid, but most are creepy skeletons and dead.

One of several strangely shaped cliffs overlooking this wetland. Use far-sighted magic from its tip to scout a variant sitting like a figurine in the middle of the land.

"That's... [Swamp Demon]..."

It was tough enough to know at first glance.

A fierce, sharp bulge looks like a horn, like a demon or some kind of skeleton in your body.

Wearing a worn-out waistband, it solidified by forming a cushion on land.

"... Hmm!? Oi!!"

Huh?

The commander, who was giving instructions to the others a little further away from the young man, shouted impatiently.

Just then, behind my back...

……

[Swamp Demon], who had been turned into an antique, raised his hand while dropping dust.

A thunderbolt is born in the hand of the bone, thinned and gripped like a spear.

------------------------------

A flash flashed across the swamp, and a dark-green lightning bolt shredded the scouts at the tip of the cliff a dozen kilometers away.

The lightning spear that scraped off the cliff and ran too far, bounced in the sky... causing the dark-green current to bounce in all directions.

The lightning scattered at the end of his role turns into magic and spreads.

A one-handed sorcery.

The strike produced a thunderbolt in the swamp.

All the strange shapes of the surrounding cliffs were attributed to the Lord of this swamp.

The fog that surrounds this swamp is caused by the magic of this monster, and almost all the monsters wandering there are servants.

If there is any abnormality, it is immediately passed from the servant to the Lord, and turned into the dust of the magic.

……

[Swamp Demon] returns to its original position and solidifies.

"... excuse me."

……

[Swamp Demon] gently waves his hand away to the shadow that appears on land from the fog.

"Well then....."

A shadow like a tribe of people who came to the butler's clothes, lowered their head and disappeared into the fog.

It is a very rational being in this place where monsters flicker.

Except the head is like a goat's skeleton.

……

Today, the Kars Wetland remains a monster's nest.

Light Kingdom.

Celestia, King Wright, Georges, and Prince Alto were in the king's office facing each other in a bench for a meeting.

No, it's more a circular than a meeting.

"... house arrest for a while?"

Celestia has a cool atmosphere that quietly opens its mouth to Georges' prepared tea.

"Don't say such a dangerous way. The rest are worried about you. If you were smart, you'd know."

Talk to Celestia in a way that makes King Wright feel like he would never be seen outside of his family.

"You can say that you took the 'artifact' from the Black Demon King, but that was the strength that they did not put on their teeth. I want you to stay in the castle as long as you can until the measures are complete."

……

Without pretending to enjoy tea for the first time in a long time, I gently put it on the table and made a slight resistance.

"Do you have a problem with Kudjaro or Ralman?

I'll take it from you.

Celestia's brother Alto Wright, who had never spoken before, spoke positively and unexpectedly.

Alto wasn't very involved in politics, but he became more interested in politics than Cashew's case.

"... was there any change in mood? I always thought that this kind of work should be left to your father and me."

"If you're being targeted, I'll have to. Forget about work and enjoy yourself as a student. You can play with Erica and Hakto."

Alto said indifferently at the usual low tone.

"[Kensei] should also be left to others."

"... I don't mind."

It was Celestia who also had the current title of Kensei , but its status never helped.

There was no reason to refuse, but it was certain that Alto had some sort of temptation.

But Celestia immediately sees through Alto's thoughts.

Looking at the status quo, it was easy for her.

And...

"Have you chosen your fiancée? I think so. You may have no choice but to introduce me quickly."

"Uhhhhh...."

King Wright roars with a difficult face at Alto's words.

"... Dear Celeste. Can't you tell His Majesty who he is?

"I don't want to report it before I've signed up. It's no use trying to be naughty with your father."

Wow, that's a bad trick, George. I'm just worried about Celeste.

Clear Celestia's unparalleled interaction with George, who was in a hurry to reveal it.

"I think it's too early to get engaged....."

The moaning of King Wright also creates a gentle atmosphere.

"... not so fast. Erica is also engaged. Instead, Celeste should get herself together quickly."

"Gunuu....."

Once again, Alto begins to enjoy tea without the moaning Light King.

……

(Was it oniisama who kept me away from politics? I don't know... are you suspicious?
