Lesson 26: Demon Collar

Demonic territory, it is a barren earth as far as it can see.

There is not a single grass growing on the surface, and lava erupts from everywhere.

The sky is creepy light purple, dim, always foggy and with bad vision.

There is no sunshine in the ever-night world, and the cursed crimson moon shines to bless the devil.

Weak herbivores are not allowed to survive, and rabid carnivores and powerful demons roam.

The weak people came in, but the last time they came home alive, it was a horrible place.

"I heard..."

"Who is it, who blew in that kind of cod?

Well, it's largely predictable. "

A few moments after entering the demonic realm, Oraine was stunned with her hands on her head so that she could have a headache in the words released by Ling Ji as she looked around her.

It's Henri.

"Dear Henri... Mr. Leonora will piss you off"

"Kah."

To Ling Ji's answer to the suggestion, now Tena, who was holding the reins in the middle of the console, held his head with the reins.

To that grunt, the raven, resting on Tena's left shoulder, slipped away in a subtle direction the day after tomorrow.

"Well, I thought it sounded like a lie.

If the Devil's Lands were such a dangerous place, he wouldn't have allowed Tena to go there. "

"haha......"

Ling Ji is right, I can say that Henri will never do anything to send Tena to such a dangerous place where there is something overprotective about her.

It was probably a mild joke rather than a malicious lie, since it was something that you would know was a lie at a glance if you actually came to Demonic territory.

The actual demonic realm that is spreading in front of the three of them and one is not as alien as Henri blew into Ling Ji.

Around there are blue meadows, and the sky is pale and clear and the sunlight illuminates all that is clear.

Of course, there's nothing like fog standing in, or lava erupting.

In short, nothing is different from human territory.

"In the first place, the people's territory and the land continue, so suddenly the world doesn't change."

"Well, you're right"

Ling Ji laughed bitterly, convinced by what Tena said.

Ling Ji had also found 80% of the way to be a lie, but it would be a lie to say that she didn't have the "maybe" feeling until she actually came to the demonic realm. The reason for this was generally that Henri's attitude, which spoke about the demonic realm, was so natural and pale that he did not appear to be lying very much.

"So if we keep going down the street, can we get to Demon Royal Castle?

"Unfortunately, we will certainly get to the city closest to the people's realm.

However, there has never been a human race from there before... "

In Ling Ji's inquiry, Oraine, who does not have the answers together, gives a troubled look.

People's and demonic territories that were originally in hostilities.

Recently, a sacred Anglican state was founded near the border that is not hostile to the devil's side and the deal began, but since it is only for the sake of the deal, we have done nothing to get into more depths than we need each other.

People visit up to the closest city in the demonic realm to the human realm, and vice versa, the demons visit up to the unlinia of the holy kingdom of Henri and do not enter other countries.

Therefore, we can still see the way to the city, where the line is headed, but there is no information about the depths.

It should be noted that, as an exception, a brave party looking to crusade the Demon King may have infiltrated the depths of the demonic realm, but they do not know it.

"With that said, Mr. O'Raine.

Didn't Henri give you the map?

"Oh, if you say so.

Let's take a look. "

Another exception is Henri.

When Leonora, the current Demon King, invited him as a friend, Henri once visited the Demon King's Castle.

Having visited Demon King's Castle, which few people have visited since history, can be a valuable source of information.

With that in mind, Orlein, who spread the map he had deposited from Henri, was to be rigid for the next moment.

"What's wrong with you?

"Kah?"

Ling Ji, Tena and Raven turn a strange eye to the hardened Aurain when they look at the map.

O'Rain made those two look like they'd turned over the map they had in their hands and put it up.

Information is not meant to be as good as a lot.

Of course, detailed information can be one benefit, but it can be a well-organized story.

It is often said that it would be more useful to have only the minimum amount of important information required than to have miscellaneous information presented without being collated.

It's too much to say Simply Is the Best, but there are definitely better occasions.

But that would also be a story if it had the minimum amount of important matters on it.

The map posted by Orlaine had a vertical main line, with three circles on its right and the appendices "Black Rose Mansion," "Unlinia," and "Reamel," respectively, and one circle and "Demon King's Castle" on its left.

The rest, with only a few additions, describes no path or anything.

It was too simple.

"Uh..." About two minutes to Demon Royal Castle "?

Is it that close?

Ling Ji, who looks over Tena's shoulder on the posted map, raises his voice of doubt by reading out a small supplement written between "Unlinia" and "Demon King's Castle".

"No, I don't think so...

By and large, if that's true, we should be there by now, right?

"... Indeed"

Since entering the demonic realm, that's about as long as it's been. I don't really think this addendum is correct because I still don't see any shadows or shapes such as Demon King's Castle in spite of it.

"With that said, Master Henri... when I went to Demon King's Castle, I thought you said you were going on board Mr. Vni..."

"What is Mr. Vni... that black dragon?

Sure enough, you can snort a lot faster. "

"If you do, is the time it takes for the Black Dragon to fly here?

How long does a carriage take... "

"You don't understand."

Apparently, all three sighed when this map was unlikely to be useful except in directions.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Huh? Huh?

I decided to listen in when I got to the city about the location of Demon King's Castle, and I had always decided not to dare go ahead with the carriage, but after a while, Suddenly Orlaine made his expression nervous.

"Mr. Orlaine?

"Please park the carriage"

That's all he told Tena, who noticed how she was doing and hung his questionable voice, Aurain set up the holy bow he was carrying on his back.

As the tenor manipulates the reins to park the carriage, Aurain jumps off the elusive platform while keeping his perimeter alert.

"Is it a demon?

"Yes, aim at this one from somewhere... up there!

When Ling Ji, who was hailing on the right side of your podium, stood opposite her and asked her as she pulled out her sword, Oraine tried to answer it, but released an arrow of light from the holy bow, which she squeezed rapidly upwards along the way.

As the arrow of light heads straight up into the sky, it pierces something big that had been plummeting down in pursuit of a traditional carriage.

The target, shot with an arrow, falls powerless and is slammed to the ground, but it is only one of the four. The other three interrupted the steep descent and began to swirl through the hollow so that they could be vigilant in the wake of what their companions had been hit.

"A bird-shaped demon?

"Yes! Demons attacking us with sharp nails from the sky in groups...... it's Sharp Eagle!

Mr. Rage is troublesome when a horse is targeted, so protect the horse!

Please help Mr. Tena magically shoot him down!

"Yes!"

"Okay!

It was demons who looked like eagles who had always targeted them from the sky.

However, Ling Ji is more than two times larger in stature than he knows, and the color of the wings is also green.

Ling Ji rushed up near the horse following Oraine's exact instructions, and Tena started shooting magic at the sky with her wand up.

Two of the remaining three are watching the gap between Aurain and Tena as they swirl through the attack emanating from the surface.

Then, deflecting their attention, the last one hit the horse pulling the carriage, spreading a sharp nail of guillari and pointy.

"Let it!

Ling Ji is slashed with a sword from his side by a demon that has descended rapidly.

The attack interrupted Sharp Eagle's attack on the horse and moved on to dodge.

Ling Ji tries to set up a chase there, but sooner than that, Sharp Eagle will be winged and back in the air, and Ling Ji won't be able to help.

Back in the air, the enemy swirls for a while and finds a gap, similarly targeting the horse.

"I can prevent an attack, but I can't stop you like this."

Ling Ji decides to change his attacker even if he decides that his abduction is not obvious after repeated attacks like this.

"Eat!"

They unleashed light magic, not sword strikes, as their opponents plummeted. Even so, it is magic that only emits a strong light without aggression.

"Huh!?

But the sudden emission of light in front of Sharp Eagle crushes the other's eyes, and the enemy, blinded before, falls to the ground in confusion.

"Now!

Ling Ji ran over to Sharp Eagle, who fell to the ground, waved down his sword and stabbed Todome.

"Ha... knocked you down"

When I sighed and then looked at the tenors, they said they had settled on you, and they were both about to use their weapons.

Seeing where only one carcass was found besides the first one O'Rain defeated, I guess one escaped.

"Mr. Rage, are you all right?

"Ah, yes. We've defeated him."

Answer while pointing to Sharp Eagle's carcass, which was tailored to a word asked by Aurain.

"Still, aren't you stronger than the demons of the people's realm?

No, except for that dungeon demon. "

Ling Ji asks Oraine what she felt when she fought.

Compared to the Forest Wolf and Giant Hornboa he saw in the human realm, the Sharp Eagle he encountered this time was far more troublesome to deal with.

"Right. Mr. Henri's story about the demonic realm was mostly about jujutsu.

It is only true that there are demons stronger than the people's realm.

According to one theory, the demonic realm is filled with more air resistant magic, and demons grow stronger and easier. "

"Really? Then we have to keep our heads together and move on."

"Yes."

Reiji and the others, reaffirming the threat, went ahead with the carriage while increasing their vigilance around them.
