The God Slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants

In a room surrounded by stone walls, a pale light lights up.

From the open window, a thin, shining sunlight plunges in over cloudy clouds, and wet winds enter the room. The wind that shakes the curtains softly sticks to the skin and is a little disgusting.

Unlike the damp breeze from the sea, the cloudy, incensed wind you feel when the rain is near you.

Soon, it's going to rain. With that in mind, I look up into the sky from the window, out of sight of the ethereal magic light that spreads every time she moves her fingers.

Like me, Mr. O'Brien and Delwin, who were in the room, looked out the window.

Graania and Sui have an intriguing view of the 3D map of magic made by Utano.

"It's going to rain."

"Yes, it will rain in the afternoon, and the day after tomorrow, the operation will begin."

Utano replies to my words without turning a blind eye.

Numerous numbers on a map (map) drawn with ethereal magic light. Temperature and humidity, cloud movements influenced by high and low pressure, 3D map of the Arbenelm continent.

It's not just around the fort where we are now. Forests on flatlands, highlands, mountains and rivers until the castle of the demon god you attacked before.

The magic of the Ethereum, which represented the sole, filled half of the room where thirty large adults could afford to enter.

On such a map are a number of red dots, large and small, moving, and white and yellow dots gather in several places. Does red mean demons, demons, whites and yellows mean humans and beasts and subhumans?

"After a year, the terrain has changed a bit."

"Really?"

"Yeah, here -"

When Sui hammered strangely, Utano touched the pale map with his fingers., the magic light waves for a moment, then returns to its original shape.

Looking out the window, we waved a 3D map (map) in response to her voice, and she touched Utano with her finger. Then the area turned green.

"Until three days ago, there was a strong magical reaction in this area. but absorbed by individuals with stronger magic."

"Do you even know that?

"If you get used to it. Probably" The Families of the Demon Gods "... The black dragon you encountered in Yamada ate your family. And the terrain deformed in the battle at that time"

I see.

Fafnir and - no, if that black dragon would throw up more braces than Fafnir now, would it be easy to change the terrain or something?

I can only imagine, well. How the hell has it evolved since we met in Dragon Mountain?

That word gives me the gaze of everyone in the room.

"Trouble?

As represented, Mr. O'Brien opens his mouth. It's short, but it's a word for business.

I can't immediately return the words to them, and put them away for a beat.

"I'll do something about it"

"... let's change the way we ask. Can you win alone?

"I can't."

Win or lose, and when you're alone, you can't.

Soichi, Masaki-chan, Kotaro to Ami, Fafnir...... Even with all that fighting power, can you win or not?

Whatever, the other guy's a dragon. Flying opponent.

Moreover, it is honest to say that there is no way to reach out to dragons that continue to evolve under the influence of Naifer.

"Even with Elmen Hilde on hand, it's hard to fight and win properly"

Well, but. If you get involved in an undesirable battle - after that, I hope Elmenhilde is on hand.

Create a situation where that dragon can't fly, ground war. It's the braces that are troublesome if you slash your tail and wings off. If Soichi and Masaki-chan could they slash the wings?

All you have to do is open up six constraints and smash your heart at once and drop your neck.

Two shots.

One arm at a time. So, my arms are useless. With a stepped in shock, and a leg. In exchange for both hands and legs, kill that dragon.

... I know that reality doesn't make things that easy.

"I can't believe it, you're Elmen Hilde. Without him, there's nothing I can do."

"Totally. Be more decent, Range"

"It hurts my ear"

Well, a few more times I've been told not only by Sui, but by all the people close to me.

Ermenhilde...... God Killing Weapons, God Loss of God Killing.

It was everyone's opinion on how many opponents, though Shelfa, couldn't handle it.

I hope you don't say you can't. - He says he's retired from the throne of the Demon King, but he's the next “strong” demon god in my knowledge.

"I won't tell you what's past, Sue."

"Yuko's sweet on the range."

"Yes, sir. I'm not gonna make fun of you."

Utano-san's fingers dance without lightening Su's whispering voice.

With only a few finger movements, some of the pale 3D maps were enlarged.

"And information from the scouts."

Also, Utano's arm moves.

The Arbenelm continent is formed by three continents in succession, with large bridges hanging in places where the continents are connected to each other.

One of them was destroyed by us a year ago and is useless, but Utano's fingers touch where the other bridge is.

"Where the bridge is, the demons are building gates."

"To keep us out of this?

"I guess."

Shelfa was going around killing the Feilongs to get us to take the land route. And to intercept at that gate?

Rare, exhaled. Mr. O'Brien also hides his mouth with his hands when he raises his muffled voice.

It must have been the way the Demons fought from the front, but... as far as the map goes, the interception battle since the defensive wall was built. The front is a pioneered plain, but behind it is a bridge. Left and right are deep cliffs and the sea. The terrain, which is impossible to ambush from left to right or behind, would be the terrain suitable for the Battle of Cage Castle.

But that's a story if you don't step out of the gate you built. Until just a year ago, the devil clan felt a lot different as a way of doing things.

"You're in trouble."

"Yes. How much damage can be done if this gate is consolidated..."

Mr. O'Brien, who was looking at the map, gently slapped the pattern of the long sword that was hanging on his hips by moving the hand that was covering his mouth. The gauntlet and sword pattern make a creepy sound.

If it stays the same, make the fort you are in strong and intercept it. While the Demons were gathering their gaze in the fort, we had a plan to break into the castle of the demons.

There's only one bridge, and if the other one doesn't pull out of the cage, the fight gets longer.

When it comes to expeditions, neither humans, nor beasts or subhumans can fight that long. Food and soldier morale...... more importantly, the longer the battle is disadvantaged in a harsh continent where demons and demons named Arbenelm can finally live.

Short-term showdown stones frustrate the enemy's nose first and stick it into his nose as it moves.

Makes sacrifices, too, but that's the quickest way.

But when I get pulled into a cage, I can't do it. And if you can get attacked when the food runs out and morale drops, there's not a dime. Numbers and individual strengths are up there.

The fact that people are beating demons and demons is the wisdom to conjugate measures. Without it, it disintegrates. I don't even have to think about it.

"Said it was the future that Kotaro saw... five more days?

"Yes, the day you fight a new demon god."

Well, I don't trust half of him 'futuristic' or anything... but it still guides my actions.

"From here to the gate..."

"Run the horse without rest for about a day. Three days if you're marching on foot."

New travel times appear next to pale plates (boards) that represent temperature and humidity. Really, it's convenient magic.

And look out the window again.

"Mr. O'Brien, Graania. Ready to march?

"Anytime. Soldiers are asked to pack their bags and wait."

"This way too."

That's comforting, he exhales deeply with a light mouth.

The sky at the end of my gaze is gray, cloudy and still going to rain. When we're going to march, we'll be wet in the rain, and the enemy fortress is where we've moved on. Even though we know it's more harmful to attack the protected than to protect and intercept.

"There are two dragons that can fly - of which Fafnir will have us carried, so we'll have Livyartan ahead of us."

"Okay."

On the map, a white, big dot is made.

Its speed of flight takes less than half a day to reach the gate where a person arrives on foot for three days.

"If we put the Nine Seasons and the Nights ahead of us and catch a good catch, we can destroy Mr. O'Brien and the others in the first place."

"If you're building a gate, aren't you coming out of it?

"They were the only ones who could do anything but force until a year ago. Whatever orders you take from the new Demon King, I don't think its essence will change into admiration."

Besides, if you don't come out, the Nine Seasons are the only ones who get tired. Nine seasons is a health fool, and Knight and Livyartan are tireless. I don't think it's that influential.

In the unlikely event that Shelfa was in that fort, Nine Seasons' Shield 'would buy me enough time to escape.

He wouldn't even go that far if he knew I wasn't here. Well, if, but.

"What if it doesn't come out?

"... I'm sorry, can I ask you to attack me?

"Even if you knew there would be a sacrifice?

"Yes, gather the eyes of the demons. - Perhaps most of our forces will gather here."

When I touched the corner of the pale 3D map with my fingers, that area turned peachy.

That's right behind the gate and in front.

"You think that's where the showdown takes place?

"No. From here, the castle of the demon god looks good"

At the same time, I move my fingers to bypass the place and the line is drawn as I move.

"Travel with Fafnir, to the castle"

Utano will guess my intentions and prepare another 3D map (map).

The castle of the demon god, a clear map of its interior.

About 30% of them stain bright red, and about 50% of them are cedar, mainly that red.... where it was destroyed a year ago in my battle with Naifer. While I'm at it, I don't know, I think this is all I've destroyed.

"Destination is here"

Safe place in that map...... finger tap the heavenly side of the castle and it will show a white mark.

"They said that that black dragon was the new 'Devil's Vessel'. Kill me, eat me, and become a new god. From around the gate, it looks good"

It would be just the right place to let you know my death for killing the demon god Nafel.

Well, it's just a little bit distant... but I can do anything around it with magic.

"They took Elmen Hilde, and Solnea - I'd move to definitely get it back. And kill the god-killer who appeared this way"

Isn't that their scenario?

Simple and lucid. Easy to understand.

It would be a broken story (story) if I abandoned the two of you... what? It works just like that. I want to help Elmen Hilde. Because I don't want to lose it again. More, together, because I want to live.

I'm sure it was Shelfa who thought about it.

I don't remember talking about him, but he's strangely sharp. You'll be aware of Ermenhilde somehow.

I know what he's thinking, so...

"There will be no trap. I'm no different without Elmen Hilde than just a human being."

Besides, I know I don't have magic over there. You can't use magic.

If it's Shelfa's personality, I know it well.

With the new demon king... if my poor girl is free to move, it is believed that she has not been seen.

"I'm sure, from the front, he comes to kill with force moves. So, enough to kill me...... but there's an alarm there"

Beat the 3D map four times.

What appears is ash, gold, tea and green. Four-color dots.

"Shelfa to Soichi and Masaki, and the stopping of the demons that may remain in the castle"

Ashes and gold dots are surrounded by red. One, black. That's Shelfa.

"I'm looking for Elmen Hilde..."

Green is in the middle of the castle.

"And ask a trusted companion to rescue Solnea"

Tea goes underground.

"What's that?

"Faerona...... we've traveled this far together, it's an elf. I know Solnea's face."

"Are you okay on your own? I know Delwin's the one who lent you the bow, but the castle is huge, isn't it?

We'll talk about that later.

"Post-approval. - Well, that sounds like you, Range."

Going is a dead end - will you go?

Well, at the point where we're talking about assuming we're going, I think I'm probably cruel, too.

And what I'm going to say.

"I ask Mr. O'Brien and the others to stop the demons at the gate. If Ryu and Ami had Kotaro, they wouldn't have sacrificed so much."

But not zero.

No matter how special the Nine Seasons are, all they can protect is within reach. As far as Ami is concerned, he may blow up every companion with too powerful a magic trick.

Still, her overpowering witchcraft is directed against the army. If there are about a dozen Demons, I can blow it up even if it's a bunch. With any luck, we might be able to destroy the gates that are being built in front of the bridge.

In that case, there is a chance that the victory will tip over here at once.

But...

"Don't beat the demons, they're stuck."

"Oh."

You must not win.

If this one wins, the demons will escape. In the castle.

Then we'll be wiped out. So, stop. Fight moderately, lose moderately.

If you lose, injured man.... even if you know there will be dead people. Still, I ask you to hold back.

The first line of command is Mr. O'Brien and Graania. Second inning, led by half of the remaining human army and the elves are Delwin and Sui, and Mr. Utano.

If you rendezvous with the second team, the command of the first team will recover. So we can fight for a little longer.

And in the meantime, get Ermenhilde back, fight.

"When I get Hermenhilde back... I kill Shelfa, I kill the new demon king, I kill the black dragon"

It's easy to do. Because it's decided.

All you have to do is do it.

When I looked up from the map, Mr. O'Brien and the others were looking at my face without saying anything. Utano too... the easier it is to understand, the more worrying it seems.

Will it succeed? Will it fail?

Can you do it? Can't you do it?

Not really.

"Now it's time to put an end to it - so much for the corrupt edge."

Speak up. Throw it away.

I'm sure everyone wants that. Me too... Shelfa, that black dragon - "Naifer's Vessel" too.

In the chest, fear gushes.

Can you definitely win?

The other guy is that demon king.

Opponents who confronted each other many times, won, lost and repeated.

Can you win again this time?

... I'm not sure.

I'm not strong enough to say I'm absolute.

"When you're done, I'll raise the landmark. Then give me a whisper. With morale, the demons will be upset."

"Landmarks?"

"Well, something. I'll do something remarkable."

Graania reacted to the words directed at Mr. O'Brien.

And laugh at my words.

"Please be flashy, as anyone can see"

"Well, I'll do my best."

Me too, I laugh when Graania fishes me like that.

If it fails. If you lose.

That makes my legs tremble when I think about it. I think I'm going to have zero tears.

But.

I can't lose.

Never lose.

You have to win.

I have to go back alive.

Push and kill fear and anxiety, speak up, laugh. Laugh. Laugh.

- Because that's 'hero'.
