Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 11, Knight Nidai

... it's not my fault. You're quite strong, aren't you?

The ancient castle of the lake, where countless magical formations of all sizes, large and small, emitting blue light, were deployed and completely reclaimed their original shape.

Looking at Nidai wandering around in the middle as usual, I can think of the battle just now.

... has the parasite ever been so strong?

No, but it's impossible because I met a parasite with a surprising ecology on the planet...

You've got a lot of nerve, people. It's a good life for people who don't have enough exercise to do aerobic exercise at just the right distance. Normally, swords and fire didn't work.

Well, look. I gave up and exterminated it because I had no choice, but it wouldn't hurt the people in town.

More than that.... fu ~, I'll beat that thing with a glass tomorrow...

It seems that only warriors recommended by the Soden family will face the Nidai at one of the banquets.

That's why he said he wanted to hold a festival to commemorate Nidai's crusade and extend the banquet itself.

But now, even if you defeat it, the feast won't last.

Even if you defeat it while no one is around, you may be suspected of escaping the Nidai, and it is out of the question to defeat it as a demon king.

A threat beyond Nidai has become an emergency and the whole town is in chaos.

So in a black knight or a glass, Celeste asked me to crusade the princess on her own recommendation with a cute and anxious pendant.

…………

You're talking nonsense, that girl... My majesty is over...

I can't win, okay? I can't beat you like that. Maybe she's angry? Are you angry because I said Tequito?

With a cool smile in front of Kageha, I threw a series of complaints at Celeste.

…………

... poisoning is useless... Let's think of a way forward.

Well, first of all, you can't win with the Black Knight.

Black Knights with an unknown content can be more useless than glasses, but Black Knights who simply have too much Nidai skill and heavy power type cannot be attacked and do not play. Guaranteed to lose with the power of the Black Knight range.

Even if you try to hit first and blow it off with magic, you will probably be slashed with that sophisticated sword technique.

Last shock or aftershock? I don't know if I did it myself, but it's obvious when I saw it ripped open.

Above all, I'm still too accustomed to armor.

That's why it's a glass that weighs on the technique...

We need to beat Nidai with a sword without power.

... uhhh... I can't see the vision of winning.

I tried to align my sword properly without putting effort into it, but suddenly I was able to create a flow and take the lead.

To be honest, I was scared when my face was targeted with a handle.

And that's not all.

The most troubling thing is the thrust (...) that comes between the slashes.

Above all, it's too skillful for magic tricks. I hated how effective the poke was in battle, so I was made to recognise it.

"... fu"

Regret!! Ahhh, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!

The outside screams in your heart, exploding the regret of losing with the sword.

... I'm sorry... I knew you were there. A swordsman better than me.

But of course. Regardless of the fighting, my swordsmanship is based on... that father.

I can't tell you that I'm proud of my tummy drums these days, it's his swordsmanship. Singing lullabies with this sound when grandchildren are born is the sword of the man who is practicing slapping his belly day and night.

It was my swordsmanship that improved it with body lifting, footwork, in-between technology, high-speed travel, etc.

Father's swordsmanship, which he said he learned from the village chief when there were still majestic things left, and Nidai's swordsmanship, which was unbeatable from ancient times.

I have the experience or the age of the user, but I feel that the level of swordsmanship itself is different in the first place.

Perhaps the sword level will increase as we go back in time.

…………

Isn't it a bit harsh?

But... I wish I'd heard that story...

………

……

There used to be a small country here.

There is a rich landscape and a long historic kingdom that extends from difficult to invade terrain.

Under the reign of the brave queen, the suffering was so calm.

But there comes a disturbing shadow.

An army of [Grim Reaper].

A monster with a mission to hunt down life on the ground with a bloody rusty scythe attacked the creature that came to his attention from the edge.

Then there are various monsters following the [Necromancer] like a flock of honey.

It was an army made possible by the ability to be vicious to the students.

A horrible ability to make Skull Mower a synonym for fear.

- Death, steal the vessel (Saliel).

The power of the Scythe held by The Necromancer , who is also said to have been the source of death magic.

Cut the soul of life that touched the blade, and use the flesh that became void as a servant.

Undead's army, which mowed monsters and beasts to live in the woods and sought a living creature that could be created in no time, was exhausted.

The mighty queen falls, her partner is beheaded, and the mighty soldiers fall...

... the soul-mowed vessel becomes undead and subordinate to the [Necromancer].

It is an event of two days.

We are only a few days away from exile. Everyone had a hunch of that time.

That's when it happened.

A knight appeared.

The knight named himself Nidai.

Nidai was a rude knight.

He was indifferent to everything and silent.

Nidai boasted unmatched sword skills, vibrant magic spinned by his left hand, and strength that seemed invincible due to armor with special abilities.

However, the knight, who was only interested in his role, could see the kingdom on the verge of annihilation without any movement.

But... he visits the castle town.

To see the last scenery of the kingdom, or to procure the missing travel tools, only the Nidai will know.

And Nidai stopped by the royal castle.

At that time there was a garden at the edge of the imperial castle, and without hesitation he turned to nature.

So Nidai meets the former queen and the young princess.

The old ex-queen opened her eyes to the man in full armor who appeared in the castle in a strict state of siege beyond which no one could penetrate… Soon she returned to a warm temperament and invited the knight to talk.

Whether you're a young girl or an overwhelming nidai, you keep talking with a happy smile.

The knight couldn't understand.

For the country was doomed, and the woman before her had lost her daughter, and she had heard that the toddler had been robbed of her parents.

Due to the mission given with the armor, I understand the steel code that no one should interfere with anything unrelated.

I couldn't help but ask.

... no one knows what kind of conversation took place from there. There is no literature on that part.

As a result, however, Nidai stood in the hands of the [Shadow Mower] army with a powerful treasure sword that could only be handled by the Soden royals.

Unleash powerful armor with your mission and intercept an army of undead (...) that rushes toward you like a high wave, corrupting your soul and body with the blood of Devil Zo-Ulto in the Grey Treasure Sword.

Shake Grey the Sword of Loneliness with despair, prayer, repentance, and all kinds of the weak on their backs.

An undead with a broken arm, no neck, and no matter how wounded he may be.

A blue black sword flash wipes out the body that has become a puppet. Regardless of the mutated body, one day and night, one arrives at [Skeleton Neck Mower].

At last, the appearance is cut in half.

The remaining armies of immortality will disappear to dissolve in the atmosphere.

There was no fear, no fatigue, no death. It was the moment when 2,000 people and 4,000 monsters were cleansed with the sword technique of the Onigami.

But the impact of the devil's blood is immeasurable.

At the end of the battle, Nidai, severely eroded by the blood of the devil, weaved into the castle the most powerful conjunction magic he could create beforehand, wielding out his last reason and sealing himself and Treasure Sword Grey in it.

The former queen cried silently, the crying of the young princess echoed, and the people mourned at the end of the Savior, who was too ruthless.

And the queen forbade the castle from being exposed until there appeared a man who could defeat Nidai and liberate his soul.

Visitors from the rest of the world were told that evil evil spirits appeared at the national rally, and were thoroughly avoided.

However, as the times pass, the legacy becomes cloudy, and after a long time, Nidai spreads his name as the evil spirit of the fallen nation.

No matter how loud the Saudins raise their voices, no one will believe them.

That's why at least...

……

………

…………

Seems Celeste got a message from Sod Sawden.

Whatever the Nidai may be, they must be saviour knights from among the Saudins themselves.

That's why you want to defeat Nidai, who is still being held there, and free his soul as soon as possible.

The devil's evil will mutate you into something completely different.

... you're gonna cry, if they ask you that...

Let's do it, I'll do it. Officially as a swordsman and buried as a swordsman. Let go of the long curse with this hand.

"... Kohon.... Mist, the town will be here soon. Let me know when you get here."

――――

The mist embodied behind my call, after listening to the order, turned into a mist and flowed again.

…………

Remember, pull out the black sword chrono-caliber... and shake lightly with magic.

Five dark lines emerge from the black-and-white blade that illuminates the moonlight.

All of them spreading in all directions, drawing their orbits.

... can't you imitate it?

There is a feeling that if you practice, you can do the same thing, but there is an overwhelming lack of time to become something like Nidai.

Besides, it smells like... academic... Maybe it's more about magic than magic tricks.

Avoid long-range and mid-range by seeing that there are still varieties, and bring them into close combat thoroughly, though the poke is a hassle.

Repointing the black sword again, he stood majestically like a king.

I think a lot these days. Demon Kings are not just powerful.

It is the Demon King who does his job to continue to show dignity to his men who do not know when to betray him.

A demon king who can't save a knight is not an old demon king.

"... Kageha!

"Nh, hah!! What did you do to me?"

I called out to Kageha with a strict feeling.

I was still shaking a little, but I jumped up and knelt quickly, whether it was reflective or not. Even though the Tengu mask on his head fell loosely, he showed loyalty without hesitation.

I would like Mist and Kageha to go get what they have, but we have to do it in time.

But if they do, I'll give them orders based on the lizard data I've got in the last few days.

I'm so afraid of being stared at, that's the answer I got from trying so many things...

... unlike other people, lizards are in a better mood when they give orders much stronger. Probably.

♢♢♢

"... that was a shake beyond the lightning strike. Exactly horrible. What's going on?"

A large mansion that incorporates the architectural style commonly seen in the Quadjaro, built a year ago.

In the cafeteria, Gundo was eating to keep his muscles close to dawn.

A minimum of ten meals a day is Gundo's first meal.

"It was in the direction of Lake Nidai...."

There was an unexpected roar and an intriguing smile.

"Uh-huh, well, that's good. It's not cold right now. We need to get this one."

An exquisite grill that is thick and intense in flavor and not hard to bake well.

Knives and forks that look like sewing needles when handled by Gundo cut meat into large pieces.

Ahhhhhh

Bring hot boring meat to your mouth and chew and taste the intense flavor and texture of pork with the strength of a strong jaw.

"Ho ho ho. Thank you for the delicious flesh and blood.... today will be a busy day. We have to eat more than usual and prepare. I'm sure... this town will be the most exciting ever.

Gundo's gaze, which gives a glimpse of the distorted spirit of the struggle, is directed at someone who is scared when he sits face to face.

"- Hey, Mr. Bren Sawden?
