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

Lesson 18: The Wise Man holds the Sword of Shapes

I was on the roof of the castle.

Looking at the demon king's army to be formed under his eyes.

Those who will participate in this brave crusade.

The total number is two thousand.

The undead make up most of it.

There were very few living demons.

I am aware of a few elites because they do not cause extra damage.

Even though you just woke up, your opponent is a brave man.

I'm going to do everything I can to keep my allies from getting hit, but I don't know how far I can protect them.

I was a demon king and in my capacity as a keeper of the lives of my people.

I don't want them to die without darkness.

This operation is simple.

First we go to the peripheral territory with the brave in metamorphotic magic and assault in the darkness of the sunset.

The other side may be putting a line on metastasis jamming, but we're just pushing it off with this output.

There will be no major obstacle to the operation, as there is no operator beyond me.

After the transfer, the general soldier is slaughtered.

There's no problem here either.

It has been repeated many times.

It will be fought back by holy sorcery, etc., but it is also known.

As far as the only threat, the brave, was concerned, I was going to respond.

Nothing to add or subtract.

Only slaughter as much as you can.

It's not the first thing to lose with strength.

The sun about to set was releasing a reddish sunset from the horizon.

Night is coming soon.

Time for the immortal.

Just right for a raid.

Staring at the sunset that way, one sign approached me from behind.

I don't turn around and look at them.

"Are you ready?"

I ask clerically as I push Luciana away, who has been trying to hold me from behind.

Luciana turned around and sat down next to me.

She legs with graceful tricks.

"Yeah, it's just that. You can always leave."

"Right."

Luciana has good guidelines.

I can do any job without doing it.

Even in the days of the previous demon kings, intelligence and sabotage operations were apparently the main tasks.

I remember well how fierce I was in every country.

The skill was alive and well, and he made a great contribution to the new era.

"Hey, Demon King Sama"

Luciana stares at my face.

Those eyes are going to suck in.

It carries the magic characteristic of Sacubas.

If I had been alive, I would have used all my mental defense magic.

Because I'm fascinated and I become her slave.

No matter, fascination doesn't work for me right now.

I respond flatly to the demonic gaze.

"What?"

"How do you feel now?

"... why are you asking me that"

I am surprised by the abrupt question.

I can't read sincerity from Luciana's expression.

She puts her finger on her lips and smiles.

"'Cause you care, don't you? I want to know how Sama the Demon is feeling."

Apparently, simple curiosity.

Luciana with a penniless personality is nothing strange.

I think of the answers to return.

There is a temporary silence on the ground.

Meanwhile, Luciana waited without pinching her mouth.

Where the words come together, I answer quietly.

"- The mood, it's not bad. I think I'm calm. Perhaps being immortal has made my heart dull"

"Oh, I do feel calmer than I was when I was a human. You said you were personally peeled off... but you weren't peeled off."

"Funny joke."

Luciana's reluctant words put her shoulder strength out of good shape.

I can't say this kind of thoughtful thing.

Why can't I think of anything?

Should I apprentice?

"Hmm...?

Luciana twists her neck and roars.

He looked strangely difficult to her.

At the end of the sentence, he starts touching my face with his pepper.

That's right for this. I break the static, too.

"Do you still have something?"

"Maybe, are you laughing?

Luciana asks me seriously.

It's not a joke like earlier.

I uttered the answer as I could think of.

"You think you can laugh at this face?

"... hahahahaha! That's true! There's no way you can laugh at bones alone. Hey!

In the meantime, Luciana bursts into laughter for some reason.

She rolled around holding her belly.

Did something touch her harp line?

I don't understand and I don't think I can empathize.

After a sneer, Luciana stood up as she breathed.

She exhales as she stretches.

"Yeah, yeah, that sounds fine if you're doing that. Worried, I lost it."

I finally understand the situation in Luciana's words.

As in Grom's time, she seemed to care about me hostile to the brave.

I was wondering if you even came to crush your spare time.

"You put a lot of work into it."

"Never mind. Because it was harder to take care of skeletons than Atashi. I've been practicing how to talk to you out of sight."

Luciana snitches with a bad grin.

Grom seems more troubled than I imagined.

He's conscious not to put any mental strain on me at all.

I was more than happy with the care.

By the way, how's Henry?

"That human archer? You didn't say anything in particular. Oh, but would you have been foolish enough to want fresh fine meat? You're such a jerk."

Luciana replies with a bitter smile.

What a way of acting like him.

Don't you have to worry, do you think?

Maybe that's trust.

Knowing the condition of my men, I stand up and tell Luciana again.

"Anyway, I'm fine. Until you fulfill your duty as Demon King."

"Don't hesitate to rely on me in times of danger, okay?

"Oh, let me do that"

When I answered, Luciana changed her expression only for a moment.

It was full of warm dearness.

Soon, however, the expression switches and returns to its original floating smile.

"It's good to hear that word. I'll see you later."

Luciana opened her back wing and jumped off the roof.

After a beautiful skies, land on the ground.

She gives instructions to her surrounding men.

(... I can't believe we used to be enemies to each other)

Life and I really don't know how to fall.

I thanked her in my heart.

When Luciana and I broke up, I headed for the sight.

There is no one in the dim room.

…………

Pay attention to the crystals placed on the pedestal.

Inside were the remains of that man.

I stop in front of the crystal.

"From now on, we will confront the brave. I'm finally going to be a true demon king."

Crystals show no reaction whatsoever.

It just exists there.

"... what do you think of looking at me now?

Rebel the questions you have spoken to yourself.

What would she say?

The possibilities come to mind, but there was nothing to be sure of.

I look at the sword I put up on the pedestal.

It's the sword of shapes you took back when you killed the king.

Since then, care has been given to the seriousness.

"- I'll borrow it for a little while."

When I say no, I grab the sword gently.

The blade pulled out of the sheath was overhead.

At first glance, it's a sword without any weird philosophy.

In fact, I don't have any special abilities.

But this was a famous sword that has been used in numerous battles.

It is an industry that has walked with the beliefs of the brave.

It is no exaggeration to repudiate that her thoughts dwell.

I had not used this sword once yet.

It was taken lightly.

But this time the opponent is a brave man.

Now would be the time to use it.

The next demon king takes over the famous sword that once killed the demon king, and slashes and kills new braves.

I think this is ironic.

I have to feel the cruelty of the world.

I moved to the balcony with metastatic magic, with my sword in my hand.

This is also a great place to see in the castle.

At the same time, it is easy to pay attention from the ground.

Under his eyes, demons were coming and going preparing for the war.

I discover someone on the roof of the castle.

It was Henry sitting in a chair and pouring a liquor bottle.

He looked at me and looked at me.

…………

Henry, with an invincible grin, gently hoisted the liquor bottle.

I guess that's his own backup.

I nodded small and responded.

Eventually the demons began to notice me on the balcony.

Stop moving as soon as possible and quiet back down.

Expected heat was swelling to the point of rupture.

(You don't need words anymore)

Having so decided, I thrust up my sword and pointed to the sky at its cutting edge.

At the next moment, the Demon King's Army will have an explosive joy.

The air is just tearing me apart.

The never-ending roar echoes into the king's capital at sunset.

- Thus the Demon King's Army began an expedition to kill the brave.
