Sword of the Philosopher

Then, after visiting various places, I headed to the Castle of the Demon King with Kurova. I thought it would be around the end of the tool verification before I looked around the demon world.

“Oh, I'm sorry, but I need you to stay in the castle for a little bit because I have some urgent business to attend to.”

Croix says, "What's the matter?"

It seems that a troublesome monster has appeared.

Monster?

“It's a powerful individual that is beyond the control of our fellow countrymen.”

... even the demons can't fight it, that sounds pretty bad.

Currently, we're trying to capture their location and form a crusade.

"Monsters... have a lot of magic power in the demon world, and even monsters that occur naturally may be strong, but it's hard to defeat them by the demons..."

"She said she has a strange power." I haven't verified it yet.... "

I frowned there.

Is this a common case against monsters that appear in the demon world?

It's not uncommon for a monster to have high abilities, but--

So a new report sprang up. The demon tribe turned to the demon king,

"Latour's team and Thelmen's team attacked, but it was difficult to deal with...."

"Both of them, right? In that case, it's pretty powerful...."

Something stinks... but after the reporter left, I questioned Croix.

What is the likelihood of being Star God-related?

I'm not saying zero... but I feel like it's irrelevant.

If there was any influence outside of the demon world, Star God would have taken the lead.

In the process of preparation... it would be a bad thing, but...

Lord Luon

At that moment, Gulk's voice echoed in his head.

I contacted the outside of the demon world earlier.

"...... can you get rid of it in the first place?"

I was doing a lot of things at the time of joining hands with the demon world.

Seriously... this is where Gulk appears on the right shoulder,

I contacted the outside world, but there is no sign of a star god or similar being appearing. If there were monsters that would struggle even among the demons, we would be able to observe them as well, but that's not the case. ”

"Is that a phenomenon unique to the demon world?" Or maybe the star gods attacked the demon world..... "

I think it's unlikely.

So Gulk says... now Kurova opens her mouth.

I told Luon that there were tools, but maybe they were related.

Tools?

"Rather, the predecessor demon king sealed research materials, including some kind of tool." However, as a result of this, there is a possibility that the monsters that were experimenting have gone out... "

... the demon king who attacked the Sergia continent was meticulously prepared. Based on that, there is no doubt that I repeated various experiments and verified them at the time I was in the demon world.

If so, the monsters left over from such experiments would be rampant... and I could be convinced by the scriptures.

Shall I take care of it?

Here is one suggestion. Besides, Croix looked surprised.

Mr. Luon?

If there's a disturbance, I don't mind accepting it.

"But...."

"If you think about going out with the demon world in the future, I'll ignore it, and if there are sacrifices, it's bad for me to sleep." Besides, if there is such a disturbance, it will only interfere with the showdown. "

With those words, Klois looked down somewhere for the first time.

"... I can't believe you're entrusting us with something we can't handle." However, it was also in the battle to decide on the demon king, so is it more of a story now? "

Is that okay?

"Oh, I see. Then let's make it a formal request... for the reward..."

"I don't need anything else." Please do your best to deepen your relationship with humans and other races. "

"Yeah, of course."

Croix nodded... I got information from him and decided to go there.

The place where the monsters appeared was in the mountainous area directly under the control of the Demon King. When I stepped into the mountains, somehow the magic was strange.

"Gulk, do you feel it?"

Hmm, there's a strange magic power... it's definitely of demonic origin, but it's a lot different compared to other demons, such as Lord Croix.

"That said, this is......"

That's right, Demon King... the magic power of the predecessor Demon King is slightly present.

Apparently, Croix was right to speculate. The timing of my visit may be coincidental, but I feel something that is related.

Sophia and the like are more connected than I am

From the opponent's point of view, Lord Luon couldn't accomplish his goal by moving around. I think I have enough karma. "

"... well, I'm sure the most intrusive person, and as a demon king, I might get angry if I know what I've done."

I went into the mountains. I had to stare at the monsters I wanted to find, but... there were a few signs. Because the monster was so powerful, I couldn't hide my magic power.

"Gulk, I can feel it, but do you know the details?"

To a certain extent

Then, I heard howling sounds.

"... have you noticed the enemy?"

Sounds like it.

Hmm, I guess I need to be vigilant... I called Rescue. Place them in a way that protects their backs and allows them to spot enemies around them.

"Gulk, if you need anything, just let me know."

Your Will

With a reply, further growls. The directions are the same......

According to reports from Croix, it seems that there is only one monster, but the possibility of multiple monsters is not zero.

Rather, if it is an individual enhanced by experiments, it is not strange that there are multiple individuals.

I don't think I'll be able to go home until I've defeated all of them... Or maybe I'll have to find out where the monsters came from first?

If this mountain is the root castle, it may be around the mountain. If you were Lord Luon now, you would be able to find it. "

Well then, let's find out if we defeat the monster.

That's what I'm telling you, and I'm pointing my foot in the direction of my voice. Resvail's enemies have been spotted, and Gulk and I are in the right direction.

That said, I can't be alarmed... I'll pull out my sword and get ready for a fight. It was an unexpected task, but it might not be enough to get used to the shoulders before the showdown... I thought so, but I continued to walk slowly.
