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~

─ ─ Yuki viewpoint ─

It was just the right time.

I'm really... I'm glad I made it.

It was a few days ago that I contacted Odette in correspondence between 'King's Ride' and each other.

Then I took a nap to maintain my strength, and I was aiming for the king's capital.

In the meantime, Odette and I were in serious contact.

So I also knew the Odettes were in this' Black Forest '.

Odette asked Old Zamel to authorize additional experiments on the King of Spirits (Lord of) Riding Phantom, and came to the woods with magicians and escort knights.

This place was hidden by Dorothea-Zamuels, just enough to experiment with witchcraft without being seen. There was also an excuse to fill the void in the soldiers' vigilance nets.

While experimenting with the "King of Spirits Ride," the knights of the escort kept away.

However, some of the magicians were wary of their enemies outside the woods.

So I noticed the enemy knights attacking.

Odette intercepted the "Replica Road" herd and the "Holy King (Lord of =) Riding (Paladin) Type A."

But the streak just seemed tough.

Where the magic was used, Platinum's "King's Ride" - "Holy King's (Lord = of =) Ride (Paladin)" - came.

The fast-paced 'Holy King's Ride' cannot be stopped by the 'Spirit King's Ride'.

When the limit came, I wanted you to throw away the King of Spirits Ride and run away.

'I'm sorry I'm late. But I wanted Odette to stay away if possible'

'I told you, didn't I? I wanted it to be over before you came.'

Through "King's Ride," Odette's words returned.

"I didn't want to show Old Zamel or any other sorcerer your" Black King (Lord of =) Ride (Noir) ". Once you find out it's you who's putting it together, the origin of" Black King's Ride "will be pursued. If you do that... you may lose who you are... '

"... Odette"

'But... I'm sorry. "Spirit King Ride" is already the limit. You can't even shoot "Magic Attenuation Rays". I wasn't strong enough... sorry. Yuki'

Odette, you didn't have to go that far.

Put together "King of Spirits Ride" and fight the enemy "King's Ride" - not at all.

'Thank you, Odette. But from now on, don't do anything as dangerous as you can.'

"Yuki?"

"Even I have a priority."

When I realized that, that's what I was saying.

'For me, protecting my body is the first thing, and hiding who I am is the second. How much success have you had in hiding who you are, and if your family gets hurt or dies, it won't be anything.'

"... but"

'But it's not. Don't be impotent. Call me if you think you can't. Because I'll do whatever I can. I'm just a magician who lived a long time in my last life, so I can't do much. "

Is it "a magician who just lived a long time"? You're someone who can protect your family and your people at all costs... because that's who you are... in your last life, you lost your life to protect the villagers, didn't you?

Odette said.

'But don't forget. Some people want to protect you, just like you want to protect them! Don't make them cry at me...'

'I know. I'm sorry I'm reincarnating again, and I'm sorry I let my family go unscrupulous. "

I cut the comms.

Right now, I'm taking it in.

In front of me - under "The Black King (Lord of) Ride (Noir)," which I put together, "The Holy King's Ride" is back.

Anyway, I need you to shut down the function--

"Grrr! Let go! What is this? Let go...!!

"Let go. Fool."

The torso of "Holy King's Ride" contains cracks.

Earlier, the "Black King's Ride" scratches.

Naturally, there's my Magic Blood in there.

I am currently admiring Erosion (Hacking).

"First defensive wall - breakthrough. Breaking into the second barrier."

"Gu!"

Dunn!

Along with the explosion sound, the torso of "Holy King's Ride" exploded.

The shock leaves the hands of 'Black King's Ride'. I'll spread my wings and distance myself.

"... how dare you... scratch this' Holy King's Ride ', a legacy of ancient magical civilization"

loose, and a platinum knight rises.

There was a hole in its torso, and behind it was another armor.

I see. Is "Holy King (Lord = of =) Riding (Paladin)" a multiple armor? Even if the exterior armor is destroyed or 'eroded', it stops the damage by detaching that part.

That's the legacy of ancient magic civilization. Well thought out.

"If you have that kind of technology, you can make working armor that works with magic, not combat."

"What the hell are you!?

A woman put together 'Holy King's Ride' shouted as she kicked the ground with an armored horse.

"If you're going to challenge me, at least tell me the name of King's Ride! I recognized you as a strong man. Then let's compete for power from the front, among the strong!

"Ahem?

What are you talking about, this guy?

Step into the kingdom's territory on your own and beat Mr. Roszo-Burns' messenger.

Besides, you're bringing it up to Griffon, aren't you?

Even so, it's like bringing a rabid dog into a house and saying, "Come on, let's fight."

There's no way a guy like that has an in-laws to go out with him.

"Shut up. I'm not gonna talk to you."

"If you are putting together 'King's Ride' too, you must be a powerful warrior or sorcerer! Then we will compete with each other to settle which one is stronger - Huh!?

"He says shut up!!

I fly on the Black King's Horse, approaching the Platinum King's Horse.

Shortly after, "Holy King's Ride" kicks the ground. Jump. Avoid 'Black King's Ride' claws.

"─ This is a boring world. Don't you think so!?

Screaming, 'Holy King's Ride' runs out.

"More than 200 years after the discovery of The Capital of Ancient Sorcery and Civilization (Elusion). Civilization has not yet progressed. Why is that!?

"Is it because 'Sanctuary Church' ran wild?

"No! 'Sanctuary Church' isn't right but it's not wrong either. Because the" ancient magic "and" ancient objects "discovered are all for combat use. This means that those who created ancient civilizations are encouraging people to fight"

"Holy King's Ride" turns its back over here.

Run out at full speed. Where are we headed, in the woods?

"I mean, it's right that what you fight for and win gets everything. Those who put together" King's Ride "are the representatives of the strong. Therefore, this world says that the battle is everything."

"Do you know anything about the world? For me, it's all about my kid's safe life."

-It's not compatible with you.

"That's all I agree with you"

"Holy King's Ride" escapes.

I increase the flying speed of Black King's Ride. The speed is faster this way.

but the forest is close. The Holy King rides desperately through the armored horses - jumping into the woods.

"─ Trouble."

There are trees in the woods.

There are many obstacles, and 'Black King's Ride' cannot fly at all costs.

But that should be the same for 'Holy King's Ride'. Cavalry can't run at all in the woods.

Or... does he have the advantage of going into the woods...

"Odette, I'm going after him. I'll call you when I'm done."

I'll send word to Odette.

Shortly after I heard that reply, I jumped into the Black Forest.

─ ─ Odette viewpoint ─

"... hey, what was that? That black 'King's Ride'..."

Old Zamel stared stunnedly at the black forest.

After dominating his enemies with "King of Spirits Ride," Platinum's "King Ride" suddenly appeared.

It overwhelmed the 'King of Spirits Ride' with fearful maneuverability. If the "King of Spirits Ride" is defeated, the old Zamels magicians will have no means to stop the King of Platinum Ride - the "Holy King Ride". The old Zamels were ready for annihilation.

But shortly afterwards a black King's Ride appeared and slammed 'The Holy King's Ride' to the ground.

Of course Old Zamel knows about that black king ride.

He who appeared before in Torrias territory and defeated the Beast King's Ride.

I have no doubt that that one is on my side.

But who is in that armor?

How did you show up at this time?

What the hell is the purpose of the Black King's Ride? Who does he mean by 'our child'?

The mystery only deepened.

"─ I'm on your side... definitely"

"─ Oh. Without that black king ride, we would have been wiped out."

"─ But if you don't know who you are... you can't rely on that"

"─ I need a clue. Something, no clue...?

The magicians were crushing blindly as they restrained the fallen enemy knights.

"Lady of the Slay family!"

Unexpectedly, Old Zamel advanced before The King of Spirits Ride.

"Are you hurt?!? Are you feeling all right?

"... I'm fine!

From the "Ride of the Spirit King," Odette replied.

There is little more magic left. All you can do is move The Spirit King Ride for a few minutes.

I still don't take off my armor because I'm waiting for a comm from Yuki.

"I don't have much magic left, but I don't have any physical problems"

"Right. So you're the Slay lady. Do you have any idea what that black king ride is!?

That was the question I expected.

Odette is also present at the scene when The Beast King (Lord = of =) Rides (Beast) appears on Torrias territory.

Besides, this is the case.

No wonder Old Zamel thought Odette was involved in The Black King's Ride.

It's all right.

Communication with Yuki is done without speaking up.

That's the only secret communication between Yuki and Odette. Make sure that, Odette takes a deep breath,

"... I don't know. It's a mysterious king's ride."

"Well...... but I want to hear from the Lord who sees it nearby. Guess who's manipulating that one?

"And I don't know."

Odette shook his head sideways for each "Spirit King Ride".

Before that, Old Zamel looks uncomfortable. I get it.

I don't know, I just don't know, old Zamel would be suspicious, too. Whatever. I have to answer. Don't let them think you're a yuki. The opposite of Yuki.

"It's intuitive... but I feel like someone with a high status, who doesn't talk too much about his family, who puts everything into his magic research, and instead of wandering around - he's soft on the waist and used to using people."

"... those of high standing and accustomed to using people..."

"Yes. It's just my instinct to see that king ride up close."

"That makes sense. Sure, you can't get something like that if you don't have a high status. I need people's hands to keep that one. I don't think about my family... I put everything into the study of magic... my hips are soft... and when it comes to those who apply it all"

Something seemed to have switched on.

Old Zamel closed his eyes, and, hmm, nodded.

"Speaking of those who fit that condition...... no way! Your Highness Cain!?

"... eh"

"I see. If you're the second prince and His Royal Highness Cain, a Class B sorcerer, you can secretly find something like that and keep it hidden! I also nod that I stopped experimenting with" King of Spirits Ride "on the way. You've already got that black king's ride and you've been using it so much! Experiments are not necessary!!

"Oh, you know. Zamel, what I just said was just my impression."

"A magician is something that can sometimes reason and see the truth."

Oh, no matter what you say about this, it's no use.

Odette sighs in the glittering old Zamel's eyes.

"Master Zamel. Let's talk about prying later. The battle is not over yet. Please turn up the magic signal immediately. Call the Knights of the Guard to prepare for the Hour."

"Ugh, um"

If ever - that's when Black King's Knight was defeated by Holy King's Knight.

At that time, Odette intends to use all remaining magic to stop the 'Holy King's Ride'.

"... I believe you. Yuki."

I don't fly communications.

Because I don't want to distract Yuki, who's fighting in the woods.

"Protect Yuki. He gave me black armor, Mr. Lyle, Mr. Remilia... everyone in" Village of Fira "... Mr. Dick, Mr. Neil too..."

Now it was just Odette, staring into the black woods, having to pray.

─ ─ Yuki viewpoint ─

"─ If it's an obstruction-rich forest, a knightly 'king's horseman' would be detrimental. ─ Did you think so?

'The Holy King (Lord = of =) Rides (Paladin)' said as he ran away from the trees.

"If so, that's sweet. You've been lured!!

A 'Holy King's Ride' horse kicks the ground at the same time as he screams.

Immediately after-

"─ Gone?

"Where are you looking!

The tree on my right rocked.

At the same time, the "Holy King's Ride" kicked the trunk of the tree jumps the spear into his hand.

"─ Shit!

"No, no. Not you... fool."

The spear of "Holy King's Ride" blurs the armor of "Black King's Ride".

He walked right past me. Behind me?

No.

The trees rocked behind me again.

He kicked the trunk of the tree again and jumped somewhere. Now where...

"Up there!?

"It's late, it's late. You lost when you walked into the woods!!

"Holy King's Ride" comes down from overhead.

I shrug my wings and dodge. Fly your arms at him.

But...

─ ─ The moment the Kagi Claw of "Black King's Ride" captured it, "Holy King's Ride" disappeared.

Kagi claws just grabbed a space for nothing.

That's a hassle. Phantom magic.

"Have you noticed? You were dealing with remnants made of magic."

From all sides, I heard voices.

There were eight Spirit King rides around my - Black King Ride.

"" "" "" "" "─ I told you. You've been lured.

"Create your own identities. Is that what Holy King Rides is all about?"

"King's Ride (Road)" has a variety of abilities.

"King of Spirits (Lord = of =) Ride (Phantom)" includes auxiliary arms and shields. Magic-eating rays.

"King of Beasts (Lord = of =) Ride (Beast)" includes the ability to manipulate demons. Beast's hourly motor performance.

"Holy King (Lord = of =) Ride (Paladin)" includes combined armor and 3D mobility. Acceleration force, so much so that it can be called instantaneous travel. And the ability to create your own identities.

Damn. That's a real hassle.

"Did you think I went into the woods to escape? You're not!!

Wanting to!

Eight 'Holy King's Rides' are flying around the air, kicking the trunk of a tree.

Plus, they fly light from the tip of the spear.

Too fast, I don't know which one is attacking. I finally play it at the hands of "Black King's Ride".

"Activate the Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Blow)!"

I take my arm off and fire a flamethrower.

"Flaming God Bullet" slaps "Holy King's Ride" - but just disappears. It didn't hit the main unit.

"You seem confused. I didn't know" Ancient Sorcery "would not make sense for" King's Ride "!!

The Lord of "Holy King's Ride" laughs.

"One who doesn't even know what strength means. You don't need the King's Ride."

"No, I need it."

"Black King's Ride" is what Lyle and the others see.

I want to research this and make armor that normally improves people's athletic abilities.

I want to make it easier for humans to work in the field when they're old. I know it's a surreal sight for everyone to put together 'Replica Road' and work in the field, but then you'll get used to it. That's what progress in civilization is all about.

"So guys like you are annoying. Just disappear."

"Reduce your mouth! Peel off that 'King's Ride' and let's see the face of it!!

"No. Besides, you're not the only one who got in the woods in your favor."

I just checked.

The identity of "Holy King's Ride" disappears when "Ancient Magic" is hit.

That's all I need to know.

I take a deep breath.

Take a big breath... and raise your voice so that the whole forest can hear you.

"Activate the magic! My men!!

"" "" Copy that! Ohhhh!

The Dicks, hiding outside the battle area, flew in unison.

"" How's that! Yippee and... BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

"" Ba-n-good!!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Ancient Sorcery - Flamethrows from the Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Blow) and a giant flamethrower from the Red Lotus Star Bullet (Burning Meteo) poured down into the Black Forest.

The identities of the 'Holy King's Ride' who received the flamethrows disappear.

A giant flame sphere burns the trees and knocks them down.

I'll take his scaffold and block his way.

All right. All my identities are gone.

What's left is the main body of The Holy King's Ride.

"Black Forest" is just the right way to escape.

That's why I kept the bat corps hidden in advance.

If you're in the woods, you can't reach the eyes of the Alliance magicians. As long as you want, you can let the Bat Corps use magic.

"Ancient magic" doesn't have to go through the main body of "King's Ride" to burn the trees and block his sight.

Until I got here, I had the Bat Corps rest on the back of 'Black King's Ride'.

As the forest approaches, I fly 'Magic Blood' and draw a crest on all the bat wings, separating them from the bats the moment I see what the Odettes look like. I asked everyone to hide in the woods.

The purpose was to blind the chasers when the Odettes fled into the woods and stop them from doing so.

Well, I hope it helped.

"─ What? Where's the magic coming from?

"Holy King's Ride" looks around the left and right, looking for the one who unleashed the sorcery and the scaffolding to escape.

The movement stopped. Now (...).

I spread the wings of "Black King's Ride". Inject magic to the limit and fly.

And...

but no, no, no!

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!

"─ Gotcha."

The left hand of "Black King's Ride" grabbed the torso of "Holy King's Ride".

I know armor will explode. So I don't do erosion.

Destroy.

It's a waste, but let "Holy King's Ride" be dismantled in pieces.

"Come on."

The "Black King's Ride" claw pierces the armor of the "Holy King's Ride".

As it is, peel off the platinum armor so as to skin the onion.

"Crouch! No, don't. Do you know the value of this' King's Ride '!?

"I know."

"This is an ancient legacy! One castle...... no, worth one country!

"It's worth nothing compared to my people and family"

"You don't know what it's worth! What do you and others deserve to deal with King's Ride?

You know what?

The claws of "Black King's Ride" easily tear the armor of "Holy King's Ride".

When you strip an armored horse - there are just magic crystals inside. I see, the horse itself is a golem, and the crystal of magic is the source of power? I guess it also makes sense to reduce the magic consumption of users. Well done. That's the legacy of ancient civilization.

"─ - Stop... already, okay. My loss. So destroying 'The Holy King (Lord = of =) Ride (Paladin) - Type A (Alpha)'... stop..."

"Say no."

Plus, I didn't scratch a single person putting together The Holy King's Ride.

I need him to talk to the Church of the Sanctuary without leaving any information on the Empire.

".................." Holy King (Lord = of =) Riding (Paladin) - Type A (Alpha) ". Unarmor All"

Unexpectedly, a woman putting together "The Holy King's Ride," snapped.

At the same time, the back of the armor opens and the blonde shows up. She wears clothes that stick perfectly to her body. Crying and coming out of the half-baked 'Holy King's Ride'. Try to roll and leave.

"... admit defeat. Surrender. I don't mind being killed. So don't break 'Holy King's Ride' any more..."

The woman rubs her head on the ground and cries.

But, well, it's too late for them to do that now.

The only thing keeping its original shape in the Holy King's Ride is the upper body. And then it's already falling apart.

"I am the fourth Empress of the Gaiur Empire, Nyrara-Gaiul... I do not demand any rights, as I fought and lost. I don't complain about being executed. Also… we are prepared to provide you with information…"

"Information?"

"On how to enter the fifth underground hierarchy of 'Elusion'"

Said the owner of The Holy King's Ride.

"And on the system for enhancing organisms, in the fifth hierarchy. This should also help to strengthen the Kingdom's force. Anyway, the guys at 'Sanctuary Church' shouldn't break their mouths if they're killed. I wonder if it would be an ingredient in the deal..."

As for me, I don't care about that...

Well, fine.

Let's just pull out the obvious information and then decide what to do with this guy.

I opened a line of communication and started a meeting with Odette.

Then, only the center of "Holy King's Ride" decided to sneak up on him later.
