Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 2: Goblin Rider Visit

The journey was full of wind.

The sky is calm and sunny all day.

The quality of the lodging you stay on the road is such that the horses you keep are in perfect condition every day. Running is pleasant.

Thanks to the noble companions who traveled together, it was also helpful for them to be able to eat a top-notch meal of high format that made them roar the tongue of a foodie.

Yearly, the flowery green countryside, the famous vineyards at wine attractions, and the long and magnificent canyon are admired many times.

All this healed the boys.

A journey in a high-quality carriage with plenty of excitement.

Still, if you're still dissatisfied with one thing...

"─ ─ Haaa!!

A blade in white light slashes a ghostly plain corpse.

Hakto's knife vigorously severed the rotten flesh that scattered the stench.

It was a twisted and stupidly split corpse, but... it was finally released from the curse of immortality and silenced.

"... fuu"

Released from the tension of a stretched battle, the beautiful boy's expression lowered from his neck with a cloth on his right arm also collapsed.

Okay.

"That's good!!!

"Gh!?

Hakt, who won the fight against the monster, was kicked over by the green-haired boy Oswald and slipped through the majestic grasslands.

"... no, what are you doing!!

"What...? Can't you see if I don't bother telling you?

Oswald still seemed angry at Hakto, holding his cheeks under a drop kick.

The green hair wrapped up behind shook in a refreshing breeze, but the fights were superior and the fists rang, angry.

"It's impossible for Oswald to get angry. Hakuto is totally bad. Instead, I put up with it a lot."

"Hah!?

"Because every time I started to encounter monsters on this road, If it's a glass, I'll preach to you about twice.

Enough of her long orange hair, Erica walks in and says to Hakto with a stunning sigh.

It wasn't impossible either.

To the destination city, it was later possible to cross this plain and cross a bridge.

Looking at the right hand side of the plain, you can see the "Mount Siber", which is too tall with clouds up.

From the midsection, ancient ruins that collapsed extended beyond the foothills to the middle of the plain.

It is a magnificent landscape of nature, paired with a grassland dyed with greenery.

It was also my last pleasure to close my journey.

But this year, he emerged from the woods across the plains passing through the streets, facing Mount Siber... and was unlucky enough to be attacked many times over by monsters every year.

That first time...

A monster!? Let me handle this!

Jumps off a carriage and storms with a freshly remembered White Sword.

Yaaa!!... alright!

Even though I had just met him, I was taught further tricks from the glass, and the decaying corpse was cut off without difficulty.

"... Um, Hakt-kun. If there are a few monsters, I'll take them down with a bow, so can you wait?

No, you should keep the arrows just in case. I am confident in magic. Leave weak enemies to me!

"Um... I'm a little behind schedule, and it's going to take Hakt-kun... a while to get rid of that dirt."

Oswald points to the clothes of Hakt with the scattered pieces of corpse flesh.

……

See? Let's do that from now on. It will cause trouble.

And for the second time...

Ooooooo!!

White light penetrates the brain heaven of a violent pig that can be said to be a strong enemy while being small.

Alright!

"... that move is amazing. Is this level of beast a hit?

Phew, no, not yet. My shields aren't as strong as the Black Knight. "

It's good not to overbelieve in tricks... Hakt-kun. As I said earlier, I think I should have shot with a bow this time. [M] It's getting dirty again.

"... I'm sorry."

But for the third time...

The fourth time... and the fifth time...

There was no way that Hakuto could control himself by wearing new moves, and Oswald finally managed to do the same.

"Don't let me say it again!! It will take time if you defeat Hakto!! Time's up!! Think and act as much as you want!!

"No, don't be so angry... What the hell did I do..."

"Yes, you just explained it! What were you listening to!!

Usually scolded by a calm friend, Hakto is surprised.

"... that makes Oswald angry. I told you, too. It's no good."

……

"Why don't you use a sword? The corner glass was made exclusively for me. If you use it, you'll still be able to fight it."

Erica stared down at Hakt, who fell down with Oswald, pointing at the sword on her waist.

"I mean, if I cut it all down... it's going to break..."

"Then what do you have it for!? It's just a weight!!

"... give me a break!!

"Face the victim!?

Both of you are in trouble with Hakto, who has easily come to many sermons.

"... why don't you just give it to me already? Instead, you can buy it."

Erica's gaze turned to the second of the three carriages.

A carriage protected by two carriages before and after riding.

"I don't want to!! Use it when it's working! Now beat the demon king!!

"Don't waste it...."

When Erica began to daze at Hakto, who shouted like a child with a sword, one of the guards came out of the second one.

If you're done, get ready as soon as you can.

Lilia-san

Today's [Kensei] Lilia.

A petite girl with light peach hair wearing specially tailored maid clothes.

Once upon a time, there were no shadows or shapes, and the temperament was sharpened against the adorable look.

"I don't want to stop near these woods more than I've been asked to escort."

The cold eyes of Lilia, who seemed rather upset, were pointing at the three of them.

"I'm sorry. Look, Hakt-kun. If Lillian gets mad at you, it's not like us, is it?

Oswald grabbed the arm in an attempt to force Hakt.

"............!!

Lilia, staring at her in a hurry from her sense of purpose, suddenly threw out the cutlass on her waist and set herself in the direction of the Hactors... towards the forest behind her.

The three of them who were watching Lilia's abrupt behavior noticed the anomaly sooner rather than more suspicious.

"Let's go back!!

"I don't have time for this!!

The rain of an arrow fired like a splash from the forest.

"Bandits in a country like this!?

The three men who had taken refuge in the shadow of the carriage cooled their liver to the amount of arrows.

Because it's proof that so many people are hiding.

Moreover, arrows are extremely difficult to deal with, and if they are to be kept at a distance, there are no hands or feet.

A shallow arrow stuck in a sturdy carriage looks like a needle pile. Many of the horses pulling the carriage were also hit, and the remaining horses were rioted and the men of the hissing people were in a state of confusion.

It was also difficult to escape by shaking off the enemy.

……

Next to the Hakts... in the shadow of the second carriage, Lilia, holding the cutlass quietly, had already decided to fight.

All you have to do is wait for the target to rush out of the woods and slaughter them with the sword technique given by the Lord.

Eventually, the birds disappeared and a new sound echoed in the quiet forest.

Besides, it's not that far away, and I can predict that I won't be able to see anymore.

Apparently, he was right there waiting for us, but he raised his heavy hips and decided to attack us.

"... I knew it was a lot. But what's the big noise?

"The sound of the tree breaking. I wonder if the bandits also have monsters. Perhaps a“ Sherlag ”rolling around in a rocky shell hit the tree. If so, it might take too long for us alone....."

Oswald soaked in cold sweat.

From several years of wandering around the Wright Kingdom, Hakt and Erica's tension rises even further to Oswald's serious expression, which is familiar with monsters and other things.

But the assassins from the woods betrayed our expectations.

"... what is this...?"

"Augur...? And...."

What I saw from the gap in the trees was an undisputed auger.

Corners on the head, red and black skin, arms above the developed logs. He leaned against the tree and came towards us with a supple body and agile snort.

This monster is so powerful that it is said to be the ancestor of the famous demon clan.

Augur with outstanding strength and speed is much stronger than a simple Shell Rag with a sturdy and attacking pattern.

But far more peculiar is the small army that runs with the Augusta.

"Riding a monster, a goblin...."

A fierce dog monster "Bar Guest" with the size of a wolf approaching behind the leading auger.

The black body was fitted with an ugly saddle made of the skin of some creature, on which a goblin was riding.

Above all, it is a weapon that the monster should not have or be able to handle.

The goblins grabbed the bow.

They are so cunning and malicious that they are called "Forest Bad Boys”, but they only have a brain that can swing sticks or set a bad trap.

Riding monsters, making bows and arrows, and manipulating them are usually unthinkable.

It was an anomaly.

……

But in the great forests of the west of the continent, there is a Goblin king who binds many trolls and even augers as a unique species of wisdom.

I don't think so, but Oswald and Lilia are behind it.

The birth of new endemic species.

The arrival of those who capture the technology of humans and lead the monsters.

Some of the endemic species that have acquired its excessive ferocity are the natural enemies of mankind, who have repeatedly been subjected to genocide throughout history.

………

……

The battle was in a state of confusion.

Goblin's arrow, which was fired as a pre-emptive attack shortly before the bar guests fled, shot the horse pulling the carriage in the same way as the bandits' usual way, stopping them.

The human side, mainly Lilia, including the guard knights who were forced to get off the carriage, is less numerous than the Goblins, and cannot move freely beyond the target of the guard.

While Oswald and the knights face each other with bows and arrows, Goblin's bar guests are quick.

Still, the elite Knight and Essential Oswald gradually reduce the Goblin.

But it seemed to be part of the monsters' plan.

Released from the destroyed goblins, the bar guests suddenly increased their ferocity and attacked humans directly with the ferocity they were born with.

And the biggest problem, Auga.

Originally, there was no ethnic flock. Instead, he never attacked Goblins or bar guests, even though he was supposed to be seen as a pretend prey as bait. He kept his eyes bloody trying to get close to the second carriage from the front.

"Shit! The blade doesn't go through!!

The opponent can't afford hacks and knights, and they shrug themselves from the attack of a special Augur that smashes rocks.

Augusta's thick muscles do not come close to a viable blade, and each time he is scratched by a sword or spear, he increases his anger and goes wild.

Originally, it was a fixed stone monster that used fire and arrows to fall in a trap to capture the foot in advance, and then took out a large number of collaborators.

"Be careful with the guests in the bars around you!! Always restraining---giihh!?

A knight whose calf was bitten by a guest in a bar surrounded by goblins and pulled irrespective of the weight of his armor and body.

"─!!

Lilia dances her sword in one hand and jumps the neck of a goblin riding around a bar guest.

"Shh!!

Erica's sword pierces the remaining bar guests' eyebrows.

"Gu, ahh..."

……

Seeing the knight in agony over the leg wounds, Erica, who is in charge of the scene, has a choice.

Now that Goblin's bow and arrow have swung through, the Augusta has wiped it out, and the number of allies has decreased, the decision to appeal to the last resort is imminent.

"Hah... hah... * giggle *, I can't just take down an orga."

Hakt's new sword had already been painted with the blood of goblins and bar guests, and even though it was supposed to be lighter than ever, it was accompanied by pain caused by muscle fatigue.

It leads to weakness, a chronic and bad analysis, and a chain of misjudgments.

……

With this disadvantage, the situation is inclined somewhere at once, and the damage to the team could be enormous.

Therefore, one or eight lights up white magic in your left hand.

With the White Sword, you might be able to break the muscles of that tough auger and stab your heart with a single blow.

It is obvious that this will be an advantage.

Hakt jumps out in a hurry.

To a young, unattended auger drinking the blood of a knight killed to bathe.

I am swallowed by the magic of a unique group battle against monsters who fight like humans, and I am mistaken in my judgment.

The white dazzling light, which can be said to be the source of overconfidence, pops out without noticing that Auger's bloody vision is flickering in his eyeballs.

At the next moment, a reckless child turns into a lump of meat with a heavy organ fist without a convenient ending.

It is a future that no one can change.

Neither the knight, nor the princess, nor his companions, can do anything in that moment.

"... immature"

If there is a presence that can change the end of death, it is by great will.

"Eh...."

--My arm jumped out of the chest of a frenzied auger.

The opposing warriors froze.

A thick human arm that broke through an unimaginably dense orga called heavy armor.

The big heart of Augusta was gripped in his palm...

"Gofa...."

A tingling, convulsing organ throws up blood.

The eyes that glowed due to the fighting spirit are no longer alive...

The body, which felt its wild strength without toughness, was no longer in a weak state.

(... ku, black knight...?

Several people, such as Hakt and Erica, confront the overwhelming presence of other intruders with the Black Knight.

……

My arm is pulled out... and the broken organ falls over my head.

"Whoa!?

"Nh!!

The knights poked their buttocks like an auger fell that felt heavier than they could see.

Those who were floated by the heat of battle and did not realize that a certain man had been intruded, under the weird and sudden pressure of the augur, set aside the battle and began to look at you.

……

A real demon appeared behind the fallen Augur.

Focus on the big man with the heart of an auger who doesn't look at the surrounding situation gradually calming down.

"... I'll give it to you"

"Cank!?

He threw his heart at a nearby bar guest who was frightened of himself, and the demon turned his gaze toward Hakt.

"... gray hair, kids. And... a stunningly designed one-handed sword..."

"Nh...!!

Sweat erupts.

There is no sense of agony caused by the interaction of life with monsters at the earliest, and everyone can only numb their body before the power of this demon clan.

"Are you a brave man?

……

Moving your trembling lips hard and trying to respond isn't working.

"... that's enough, I was sure."

The bar guests trembled pitifully under the pressure of the demon, retreating with a pitiful roar, and the goblins turned around busily.

"You're the ones I need."

"Hmm!?

Hakuto shrinks unusually to a fierce demon.

Meet the Demon King and the Black Knight, and you'll still be fighting.

No, not even the warring knights were able to move as heavily as if they were in front of the walls.

Even though I understand that if this destruction is carried out with bare hands, if the black spear is shaken, three carriages for each of us will be scattered in pieces.

I was even forced to move my fingertips.

But this demon with unusual strength speaks an unexpected word.

"Don't be scared, I'm not going to slaughter you. On the contrary. I will escort you. Whatever it takes... hire me anyway."

"... to...?
