The strongest swordsman was disappointed with the world's too low level and reincarnated into another world.

We were coming to the Dark Knights' lair.

So, Mr. Cannon decided to fight the Dark Knight Flore of the Black Butterfly.

In that battle, Mr. Cannon, as his sister, succeeded in persuading him to stop Flore.

"Sister, I want you to let me sleep a little..."

"Flore?

"I'm a little tired. There's been a lot going on, so I'm gonna give you a break."

In Mr. Cannon's arms, Flore began to say that.

If you think about it, Flore was fighting this battle without losing his fatigue in the fight against me. That fatigue is not strange, even if it is quite.

"Yeah, get some rest. I'll protect you..."

"Oh, but before that... Slade"

"Huh?"

"I need to talk to you..."

So Flore called out to me.

Sounds like you want to talk to me.

I didn't want to interrupt the good vibe of my sisters, but I can't help but be told that. I'm coming closer to the two of you.

"Flore, what's going on?

"We're talking about the Dark Devil the Great... perhaps you will fight?

"Oh, I plan to..."

Apparently, talking is about the Dark Demon Great.

Perhaps even the tactics of the Dark Demon Great will teach you?

"Then I want you to help him... not the Dark Demon Great, get him..."

"What?"

"Ugh..."

That's all I said, Flore fell asleep. So, it looks like we've reached our limit.

So, I think. What the hell did Flore want to say?

Who the hell is he, not the Dark Demon Great? Maybe it means someone is being captured? I don't know, I don't know.

"... for now, you mean there's something about the Dark Demon Great...?

But it turns out there's something going on with the Dark Demon King.

Let's carve those words into our hearts and let's say we come to the next battle.

◇ ◇ ◇

We were walking from where Flore was for a while and reaching another open location.

There awaited an old man wearing black armor he had seen at the base before. The Dark Demon King, the man who is king of the Dark Knights.

"Are you here..."

What the Dark Demon Great waited for was a place like a ring.

Here, it would mean settling the battle between the Holy Knight and the Dark Knight.

"... Flore intercepted you?

"Oh......"

The Dark Demon Great shrugged so when he saw Flore on Mr. Cannon's back.

From those eyes, I feel like I can read a little emotion of sadness.

Sometimes the Dark Knight doesn't seem to have a sense of companionship, but he doesn't think so, like Frost and his people. Is there really such a thing as a fellow falling down and his emotions not shaking?

"What happened to Port and Disoyl?

"I freed my soul and took away my memory. At the earliest, it's unnecessary for the Dark Knight..."

"Remember..."

That's what the Dark Demon Great answered Frost's question.

Apparently, the two remaining dark knights have been deprived of their memories. Probably no longer a dark knight.

Is that the kindness of the Dark Devil the Great? Or is it harshness?

"... that would be nice"

"Huh?"

When I was thinking about that, one man was up in the ring.

That's Captain Zagil of the Fifth Squad.

"Hmm...? You think you're gonna deal with me?

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I'll have my opponent"

"I see..."

Apparently, Captain Zagil is going to fight the Dark Demon Great.

Surely, the Dark Demon King would have wanted to fight me. I thought I was a fighter, too.

But Captain Zagil seemed different. Because of his responsibility as captain, he chose to fight for himself.

"From the beginning, I intended to destroy the Holy Knight. Therefore, I don't care who it comes from. After I defeat you, I'll just cook Slade."

"Then it won't be a problem"

The Dark Demon Emperor, too, seems fine with Captain Zagil's proposal.

Originally, the Dark Demon Great intended to destroy the Holy Knight by himself. For that reason, they don't have a problem with anyone coming from.

"But how could Captain Zagil..."

"It's for you. Slade."

"What?"

Frost has said that to me, questioning Captain Zagil's behavior.

What does it mean for me?

"Zagil is trying to show you Dark Demon King's moves"

"What!?

"The Dark Demon King already knows your tactics. On the other hand, you don't know the moves of the Dark Demon King. If you fought like that, you wouldn't have won."

"But then, Captain Zagil..."

"I think I'm going to lose, and I'm coming to this fight. To connect you to the Dark Demon Emperor's only chance of winning..."

I was surprised what Frost said.

Apparently, Captain Zagil is confronting the Dark Demon Great for me.

The 5th Squad captain is trying to fight for me.

"The Dark Demon Great, too, knew that and accepted Zagil's suggestion. After fighting Zagil, he thinks he can beat you too."

"You can fight Captain Zagil..."

He also understood the Dark Demon Emperor.

Understood and accepted the proposal. I guess the Dark Demon Great has absolute confidence in his power.

"Well, let's just say we talk a little bit before the fight"

"What...?

"I once unleashed a demon in the wild. It was a very powerful demon…"

So, the Dark Devil the Great suddenly began to talk about something.

At this time, what is there to talk about?

I thought so. It was me, but I understand that Frost next door changed his expression. The Dark Demon Emperor is talking about something important.

"I hear the Knights sent quite a few knights to defeat that demon. But it turns out the operation went well."

"No way......"

"As a result of that operation, one promising knight became a dark knight. Did you say the man's name was Argus?

"You......!

That's all they talked about, and I finally understood, too.

What the Dark Demon King said was that Frost became the Dark Knight.

"He..."

"Frost......"

Frost, next door, was trembling at the word.

Apparently, Frost has never known about this either.

Frost's abandonment of the Holy Knight was caused by the Dark Demon Great. It is now clear that.

"That's right. At that time, you also advised the wobbling superiors... who you would rub your responsibilities against would have been greatly helpful"

"... what?

"It was easy, such as putting people on board full of desire. It created a dark knight. My arm was inside too..."

The Dark Demon Great began to say even more shocking things.

Frost's guilty upper echelons were just rolled over his palm.

Was it not possible that Frost became the Dark Knight because the Dark Demon Great was after him?

"I won't forgive you... Dark Devil the Great"

"Hmm... I got a good vibe. Before the battle, it's stupid to think about…"

To that fact, Captain Zagil was furious.

Frost, my best friend, was set up by the Dark Demon Emperor. It would be natural to be angry.

But that seemed to be the aim for the Dark Demon Great. I wonder what the hell I'm going to do by lighting Captain Zagil's heart that was trying to connect me.

"... wait, huh?

So, I was wondering.

With what I just said, Captain Zagil started to get angry. That shouldn't benefit you that much.

Then why did the Dark Demon Great say something like that?

With that in mind, Flore's words echo my mind. I want you to help him. What the hell does that mean?

"Let's go! Dark Demon King!

"Shall we begin, Sacred Knight Zagil"

Within the thought of that, the battle between the two of us was about to begin.

Thus, Captain Zagil and the Dark Demon Emperor would fight.
