The Demon King Of The Frontier Life, Reincarnated To Become The Strongest Mage ~The Former Demon King Who Grows Up While Being Loved Wants To Know The Human~

"I'm going first. Odette, come back later."

Got it!!

I ran down the aisle behind Odette's voice.

The [Rider of Spirits] was moving slowly.I could hurry, but I had better not use my magic power here.

I'll talk to Prince Cain first.

Tell Old Zamel that you've asked for him, and he'll listen to you.

"Stay on my back, bats!""2.5 times" "Boost" "

It's Shoko!!

[Physical Enhancement] Increases the movement speed by 2.5 times.

I still can't see Prince Cain.

You're still close to the barrier.

Much time has passed since Flora failed.

It's time for the [Cain Faction] to start breaking through the barrier, but it's not strange ─ ─

"─ ─ I was there."

I see it.

A translucent wall stretching to the ceiling that stands as a passageway to the fifth layer.

That was the [Magic Barrier].

"Replica Road" sat in front of him.

I put my back on the wall of the aisle, as if I had just been bounced off a barrier.

A [Cain] sorcerer surrounded it.

The [Replica Lord] was trying to stop Prince Cain.

"─ ─ Please stop. Your Highness Cain!"

"─ ─ I can't do this anymore!"You should leave it to others!! "

"─ ─ If anything happens to you, the [Cain faction]... no, we can't face the royal family!!"

"... would you please step back?"

, and the helmet (helmet) of "Replica Road" opened.

Prince Cain's face turned pale.

It is sweaty and my hair is sticking to my skin.

I guess I was shaking because I was draining too much of my magic.

It was a typical out-of-magic symptom."You've been hit by the [Magic Barrier]."

Still, Prince Cain was trying to get up.

"This is my responsibility."

Prince Cain said.

"The 'Cain faction' made a mistake.It caused a lot of trouble for both the "Magic Guild" and the "Zamelite".This responsibility must be taken by Cain-Restia ─ ─ "

Your Highness Cain!

When I screamed, I raised my voice and [Replica Road] looked at me.

I slipped at his feet in a 2.5-fold [physical enhancement] state.

I tell you in an aristocratic tone.

"Class C magician Yuki = Grossaria has a message from old Zamel.""The breakthrough of the barrier is carried out by" Spirit King Knight "and Odette = Slei, and his assistant Yuki = Grossaria.Please stand down, Lord Cain. ”─ ─ That's all."

"" "Oh..." "

The magicians sighed.

And when they saw Prince Cain with their furtive eyes,

"It looks like the [Rider of the Spirit King] is ready." Your Highness Cain! "

"Odette-Srei is a factionless person.Even if she breaks through the barrier, it won't be the fruit of Zamelite! ”

"It's an important body." Please, come back. "

I mumbled those words.

But ─ ─

"You stay back, too." "Yuuki-Grossaria"

Prince Cain waved his arm at the Replica Lord.

It's as if you're trying to keep your men away.

"It has nothing to do with factionalism."I have to live up to my responsibilities. ”

"Please wait. Your Highness Cain's job is to lead this operation."

"That's right."

Prince Cain nodded to my question.

"But... apart from that, I have to take responsibility for what my men have done."You may not know Yuuki = Grossaria... but the people you found were trespassing on this [Elucion].As it turns out, Ezetta was guiding us through it.My subordinate...... is also a quasi-B class magician...... "

Your Highness is not to blame!

"That's what Isetta = Memento and her men did on their own."

"If you used the hidden passage to break in, what can you do without noticing...?"

My subordinate magicians shouted.

“No, my responsibility was not to realize they were plotting.”

Then Prince Cain looked straight at me.

"I have a favor to ask of Yuuki-Grossaria.I want you to tell Old Zamel the following words. "

"... please..."

“Cain-Restia is willing to pay for his subordinates' sins because of his own achievements.I didn't mind passing the real power of the future [Magic Guild] to the Zamelites.I just want you to forgive me ─ ─ that's all. "

It was a serious expression.

When I saw his face, I knew somehow what Prince Cain was thinking.

I don't think he knew anything about the Mémère conspiracy.

That's why I couldn't stop Ezetta-Meme, or put in place a plan of action.

However, their efforts to break through the barrier to the fifth layer were hindered.

I had to split up to capture the Mémère, and my heartfelt teacher, Demetrell, interviewed the Ezettas.

This time, the "Barrier Breakthrough" was a plan for the entire "Magic Guild".

Both the royal family and the sorcerers looked forward to the results.

Of course.

This search may reveal the mystery of the fifth underground layer.Even the study of ancient sorcery may progress.Perhaps even the important secret of [Ancient Magic Civilization].

A human from the [Cain sect] was injured in the event.

That's why Prince Cain is trying to break through the barrier on his own.

... I'm serious.

I don't hate it. Serious people like this.

Even in "Feira Village" 200 years ago, when there were such people, my work as a "guardian god" was also easy.It brings everyone together and makes them feel responsible in their work.

But... he's carrying too many things.

Prince Cain couldn't understand the [Mention] conspiracy.

I wasn't so sure until today.

"... I don't think it is the responsibility of His Highness Cain to be a quasi-B class magician, Isetta = Meme."

I told you.

“I didn't even know my sister, Colette, was trespassing on Elucion.I just found out. "

I don't know anything about the Mémère conspiracy.

Right now, I still have no choice but to answer this question.

"However, it will be difficult for His Highness to take responsibility for all the actions of the sorcerers belonging to the guild."Your Highness, the Second Prince, is noble in his sense of responsibility.However, considering your position, shouldn't you take care of your body...? "

"The second prince... I wanted to be a magician."

Prince Cain gave a cynical smile.

“That way, Ezetta wouldn't have had any strange expectations of me.I should have been able to devote myself to studying "Ancient Sorcery" and "Ancient Artifacts". "

Um...... Your Highness Cain

I don't know, Iris' Guardian Knight.

You're really only interested in magic, aren't you?

"That's what I'm telling everyone... but you can't believe it."

Probably.

This man is brilliant. I had a talent for sorcery comparable to Old Zamel.

Moreover, it is natural to expect to be the second prince of the royal family.

"But... this is the result."I became the banner of the Cain school, which led to the rampage of the Isetas.If I hadn't been a prince, I wouldn't have done this. "

“Are you going to take responsibility for that?”

"Yes, I break through the barrier and get credit.I'm going to ask old Zamel and the Emperor if I can lighten the guilt of the Isetas with that.After all, it was me who led them to the rampage. "

Slowly, [Replica Road] rises up.

A figure similar to the armor of a full plate moves out.

The sorcerers clung to their arms and legs.

"It's impossible!" "It's ridiculous!" I'm trying to stop Prince Cain while I'm shouting.

I know how you feel.

Prince Cain is at his limit.Without being able to lift both legs of [Replica Road], it was dragging.

Probably going to hit the barrier like this.

On the aisle, I saw the direction leading to the fourth level.

I listened.

I can't use bats. Prince Cain was noticed.

... yes.

We need to stop Prince Cain for a little longer.

"Your Highness Cain."

I told you.

“I have something to tell you.Is it okay to be rude? "

"...... I've already made a big mistake"

Prince Cain gave a cynical smile.

"How can I be so rude to you?"

"Well then, I'll tell you..."

I look straight at Prince Cain and tell him.

Do you have to do something else than break through the barrier?

Prince Cain's "Replica Road" and the movement of the sorcerers stopped.

Everyone's looking at me like they're surprised.

Indeed, it would be surprising if the son of an aristocrat suddenly threw up a line like this.

... well, look.

Let's leave it to old Zamel to get permission.

"It's a fine posture to try to take responsibility, but if you fall, the [Cain Faction] won't be able to move."The investigation of the fifth layer is greatly hampered.If that happens, you won't be able to lighten your men's sins. "

"Yu, Yuuki = Grossaria? are you....?"

“What you have to do is not break through the barrier.Go upstairs and listen to Ezetta = Memento.Why don't you ask me why you did it and tell me what you think?Mitigating the consequences is what happened afterwards. ”

Prince Cain is looking at me, but no good.

They say, "Don't be rude."

Let's keep talking.

"Besides, even if it's a replica, if you're going to use the [Ancient Artifact] to push through the rogue... it would be the same way as the [Sanctuary Church] does."

──

Prince Cain opened his eyes to my words.

"Oh, no! I..."

"I see? If you're using a replica of" Replica Lord "... or" Ancient Artifact "to rampage without listening to your men, I think it's not much different from" Sanctuary Church. "" Your Highness. "

"No! They used magic to fight for power."I'm doing it for my men ─ ─ "

"If it's for your people, why don't you think about the people who are clinging to you and trying to stop them?"

I pointed to the sorcerers clinging to the limbs of [Replica Road].

The [Cain] sorcerers are being dragged by the [Replica Road].

"Replica Road" can't be stopped by the power of people.

But they're still trying to stop Prince Cain.

"I feel bad for these people."

Prince Cain shook his head.

"But I abandoned myself ─ ─"

"Please use that as a last resort when you really can't do anything anymore."

... yeah. I'm a little nervous.What is Prince Cain's line now?

Abandoning yourself is a way of doing something when you're really cornered and can't do anything.

For example, when I was cornered by an organization like the 'Sanctuary Church'.

That could destroy your family if you were alive... That's the way to go.It hurts so much that it even changes the way you live with the family you helped.

It's really a last resort when we can't find another way.

“But there's something else you can do, isn't there?”

I told you.

"It's not like I'm being hunted down separately, or there's a time limit.And yet, please don't stop thinking. "

What, stop thinking? Me?

Isn't that right?

"No... no... no... that..."

Kun broke the knee of [Replica Road].

As it was, Prince Cain sat down in the aisle.

After all, it must have been the limit.

"... your words are strangely persuasive."

"I am the Guardian Knight of His Highness Iris."Isn't that why Lord Cain has given me the right to speak? "

"It's strange... to me, it's like you know the [Sanctuary Church] ─ ─"

"It's because of my imagination. Besides, I was just buying time."

Buying time?

“I told you, didn't I? It's up to me and Odette (...) to break through the barrier."

With heavy footsteps ─ ─ a big shadow approaches.

Odette's [Rider of the Spirit King] came.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.Quasi-C Class Magician Odette = Slay.I'm going to break through the barrier in the Rider of the Spirit !!

“So, with all due respect, I've bought you some time.”

We have completed our plan to stop Prince Cain.

With the power of [Rider], you can physically stop [Replica Lord].

Prince Cain can't do anything nonsense anymore.

My goal is to stop Prince Cain until Odette arrives.

I've said a lot of things, but most of them came up on the spot.It would be nice if we could catch Prince Cain's attention and stop him from moving.

... I feel like it was just a little bit mixed with the real thing, but, well, that's it.

Well then, excuse me, Your Highness.

I moved next to the [Rider of Spirits].

Odette shifts her armor and creates a slight gap in her wrist.I put my hand on it and touched her arm.

[Rider] nodded lightly.It was a sign of readiness for the operation.

Odette's [Knight of the Spirit King], as he loosened up, progressed toward the barrier.

Again, I apologize for being rude, Your Highness Cain.

"It seems that old Zamel-sama will take the responsibility."Please report the complaint to that person.

"... fufu"

Prince Cain spurted out.

Raise the ceiling while sitting down and start laughing.

"Hahaha! I lost.I can't help it. I'm losing!!Haha. Haha. "

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." So, that's what I just said. "

"... let's do as you say." "Yuuki-Grossaria"

Prince Cain nodded, holding his forehead.

“I'm going to listen to Ezetta.See if there's any other plan I don't know why they did this... and apologize to old Zamel.to avoid making this [Magic Guild] like the [Sanctuary Church]. "

"Please, Your Highness." Also, I made a rude remark. "

"I haven't heard anything, have I?" Isn't that right? "

Prince Cain said that and looked at the magicians around him.

The others are nodding vigorously.

I don't have any other witnesses.Looks like you're going to be fine.

”...... Yuki. What did you say to your Highness?”

"I'll explain later." More than that, it's about breaking through the barrier. "

I know. I will (...) unfold the "Magic Barrier", right? "

"Please, I'll check the state of the barrier next to you."It is only (...) Odette who unfolds the "barrier against magic (...)" (...)

I understand. I'm going to unfold. ”

"Roger that. Then......"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I unfolded the "barrier against sorcery (...)" (...).

Perhaps this was the surest way to break through the [Magic Barrier].

The Empire Princess Nylala had said before.

To break through the magic barrier, we had to develop the Magic Barrier with either the Royal Knight or the Replica Road ─ ─.

However, it was difficult to unfold the [Sorcery Barrier] with the [Kings (Roads)] and [Replica Roads] together.

"Kingsride" and "Replica Road" have the ability to attenuate (dampen) magic.

That's why I had to use my magic with some of my armor off.

On top of that, it was necessary to control the [Royal Knight] and [Replica Road] while unfolding the sorcery.

Both Prince Cain and Flora had failed, and they must have touched the magic barrier.

The moment the barrier was broken, I had to wear either a [Kings Riding] or a [Replica Road] to prove that I was probably a [Kings Riding] user.

It would prove to be the official user of the [Ancient Artifact].

Then we don't have to stick to the means.

As long as you prove that you are the user of the [Ancient Artifact] that you are holding up the [Sorcery Barrier].

That's why I gave Odette [Magic Blood].

I temporarily became a demonic user.

In doing so, Odette and I were connected by magic power.

It's like Iris and Flora used Combination Magic through Slime May before.

Since Odette and I are connected by [Magic Blood], we are half-integrated.

If I use [The Witchcraft Barrier], it means that Odette used it.

If Odette puts together the [Rider of the Spirit King], it's what I'm wearing.

That's how we decided to trick [Magic Barrier].

I'm going to start breaking through the barrier.

Huh.

The milky white wall enveloped me and [Rider].

It was pushing back the [Magic Barrier].

Create a space where the [Rider of the Spirit King] and I can pass through.

"This is...!? The [Barrier to Magic] is changing!?"

Well then, let's go, Your Highness Cain.

Let's go to the fifth floor and break down this barrier!

The gap between the [Magic Barrier] and the [Rider of the Spirit King] was so close that it could pass through.

No one else can.

The moment I approached, the barrier would devour that person's magic power.

Me and Odette are the only ones who can get through.And bats clinging to my robe.

"─ ─ Yuki = Grossaria. And Odette = Slay."

Behind them was the voice of Prince Cain.

"Be sure to come back safe."If you don't think you can, you can run away.You guys are needed for the upcoming [Sorcery Guild].Don't let us make a mistake.[Sorcery Guild] is different from the [Sanctuary Church], to continue to exist ─ ─ "

─ ─ The voice of Prince Cain was broken.

There was a rumbling sound, and behind us, the [Magic Power Strike Barrier] closed.

Let's go then, Odette.

I'm counting on you, Yuki.

That's how we stepped into the fifth tier of [Ellusion].
