The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression

Episode 17: The Wise Will Hostile the New Brave

"Brave man..."

I squirm.

That was a weighty word.

I thought I was going to ask one day, but it's sooner than I expected.

After all, it may be connected by some odd edge.

Or did the devil king attract the brave?

I think you're probably right about both.

…………

Grom was stiff with his face down.

It is due to extreme tension.

I could see why he was hesitant.

It is a consideration for me.

I guess I was wondering if I should pass on this newspaper.

He thinks and acts about me everywhere.

I was honestly pleased with the kindness.

I sit back on the couch and tell Grom.

"Report me the details."

"Yes! Actually..."

Grom, with his face up, describes the situation in a hard way.

Says the brave man appeared on the border within the kingdom.

It is a small territory that still did not submit to the Demon King's army and continued to resist.

So a soldier suddenly woke up.

The young man, wrapped holy light around his sword, instantly devastated the undead he dispatched.

Only some, including Grom, managed to return to the present day.

It was very inconceivable for an individual to sweep away the undead of the Demon King's Army.

It is a strength that cannot be explained by the interpretation of a good magician.

In addition, fight holy light and sword moves as weapons.

Exactly deserves the name of a brave man.

It's just that even the same brave guy would have nothing to do with that guy.

It must just be called that as a user of the Holy Sword.

In the first place, the name brave was not in itself a word referring solely to that man.

It was used like a synonym for her because she made the feat of the Demon King Crusade.

"I am truly sorry. The Devil King's precious subordination..."

Grom apologizes for the momentum of putting his forehead on the floor.

I controlled it with my hands and stopped it.

"Never mind. If a brave man is his opponent, he has no choice."

In the undead, who prefer to be tempered with brave men of holy power, compatibility in battle sucks.

There's no point in losing.

Rather, I wanted to praise him for being able to return safely and report back.

The number of depleted undead also seems to be significant, but it is a minor damage given the number remaining.

It is only on a scale that can easily be filled in other battlefields.

Grom looked heartless or unclear.

He hesitates to ask.

"Um... Aren't you surprised? The Demon King was originally..."

"He was a wise man to fight with the brave. Is that what you're trying to say?

…………

Grom is silent.

Apparently, it was a star.

It seemed so hard to say.

I don't even know what it feels like.

Grom knew how this happened to me.

I also understand that the presence of a brave man is special to me.

That is why I fear that a brave man has appeared in the enemy army.

I forgive the groms who dwell on words.

"Nothing surprises me. In this day and age, brave men were born."

"In this day and age..."

I snort at Grom's words.

I immediately continued.

"The world doesn't seem to allow evil to spread. When a threat like the Demon King arises, place a presence against it. That was my predecessor, the brave one."

From time to time, the executor of justice exists.

This would also be called fate.

They destroy evil at the end of their ordeal.

Execute as you deserve.

Back in history, those events were repeated.

Although the details vary, the general flow is the same.

Evil that does all that is outrageous is driven to justice with unreasonable power.

That is how people sing peace among themselves.

It is typical of heroic tales.

Maybe Henry was also chosen as the executor of justice.

It is also possible that challenging the Demon King with the three who added him was the original path.

In fact, there must have been a future to follow those streams.

"We were led by the world to defeat the Demon King and brilliantly restore peace. It was the beginning of a tragedy that couldn't be helped."

Revenge after ten years.

And a war of aggression to achieve true world peace.

It must be a nightmare for people.

It is an event on the arrowhead when the previous demon king died and peace finally came.

All they want is gray peace.

We want a compromise in a cruel world and a way of life that is neither the best nor the worst.

They die whilst mourning the misfortunes and tragedies that sometimes descend upon them and being frustrated by helplessness.

"Once I saved the world, I became the demon king of the new era. It must be the brave men of our time who have awakened to combat this. The flow of the world seems to want to bury me somehow"

"Demon King......"

Grom makes a sad voice.

Even though his expression didn't change because he was a bone, his inner heart was clearly conveyed.

So I assure you, to reassure you.

"Regardless, I'm not going to be able to do it with adulthood. I have a purpose. Against the world, but for what it wants to accomplish."

I see a glom orbital flame.

The flame burning as it swayed was waiting for the words to follow.

"The new brave will end. Leaving it poorly would add even more strength. Defeat before it gets out of hand"

"Will the Demon King go out immediately? If you give me an order, I will deal with it..."

Grom suggests quietly.

I'm not looking for a handle.

It would be a care for me.

The brave man and I decided that we should not be relative.

If it is true that Grom's ability to fight, he can intercept the brave, even alone.

Gradually amplifying his power, he was already strong enough to ravage more than one army.

Luciana and Henry are also there.

If they work together, I won't even have to make my way to the Demon King.

But I shake my neck sideways.

"I'll fight. The opponent is a brave man chosen in his time. You should do everything you can. We don't know what miracles happen."

Brave men grow adversity as food.

If I say so, I am a loved being by fate.

In my lifetime, I've seen it up close.

I know more accurately than anyone about the existence of a brave man.

I was confident that the miracles of the brave could also be twisted.

Let's not even give it room for reversal, let's destroy it quickly.

Modern demon kings never die.

The tale of good and evil was exhausted.

"In a confrontation with a brave man, I'll leave you to cover. Please do it then."

When I told him so, Grom stood up and saluted him.

"Shit, I understand! I'll show you how useful the Demon King is."

"Oh, I hope so"

I stand on the couch and walk to the entrance to the room.

I just touched the door and added some contact information to Grom.

"Tell Luciana and Henry too. By sundown, we'll be headed for a raid."

"Ha! Whatever you say"

Grom responds with seriousness.

From that appearance, strays and grids had disappeared.

As a loyal minister to the Demon King, I am trying to play all the roles I need to play.

You won't have to worry anymore.

Having checked on Grom, I opened the door and left the room.
