Me - "The Wizard" Magnus made numerous requests in Laxtia and kept busy moving around and around the kingdom, completing the "Subquest".

But thanks to that, my level was 32.

It's on the plan in my head, you've reached your minimum target level.

Why 32 is the minimum - when you talk about it, it gets a little longer.

There are currently eight great powers in Arcelia, the world we live in.

This Laxta kingdom I'm in right now is one of them.

In order to invade or restrain its eight kingdoms, Demon King Morufai has sent troops with the “Eight Demon Generals”, the most powerful of his subordinates.

The Kingdom of Laxta also houses the castle of "General Demon Fist” Del Bembro in an undeveloped area called "Mountain of Death" on the southern border.

I want to crusade this guy before I put Laxter behind me.

And you need at least 32 levels to do that.

According to the information in the Strategy Book, what a forty level Del Bembro is!

It also says in this Strategy Book that not one person in the history of mankind has been able to reach the level of 40 astonishing places.

Yes, the greatest saint of all time who spread the teachings of the divine Spirit Tygon throughout Arcelia and laid the foundations of today's church (the greatest con man of all time if you ask me!) Neither Mertaire, nor Bernard the Great, the champion who founded the Leanhalter Empire, nor the legendary Great Merchant Cupper, who bought the country by the power of gold alone, nor the inauguration of Woollew, the holy land of martial artists, nor the Bandit King of the North, nor the Pirate King of the South, nor, of course, Lester, the ancestor of the College I revere - who was named for history and told as an ogre or a play, and even the great men, even now, as children know, did not reach level 40.

That would be the proof left that the Demon King and his belly demon generals transcend us humankind.

I have to solo with the whole thing, but it's natural to be cautious, right?

He also has a variety of troublesome special abilities, often called high level monsters, or "General Demon Fist” Del Bembro.

The most frightening of these is the special ability called Fistbind.

This has the effect of bringing up to two subjects into a "captive state" without questioning. If I had challenged Del Bembro without knowing anything, he would have let me do nothing at all and been slaughtered. Don't be frightened!

And there's only one way to counter this dreadful special ability, simplistically.

"Fistbound" doesn't work on Level 32 or higher opponents.

You could see why I said "level 32 is the minimum I need."

It's just - I'm a character who beats stone bridges and crosses.

Humanity wants to try Del Bembro, not rush it to the lowest possible limit, but raise it as much as you can.

Fortunately, there are still "Subquests" to receive in the Kingdom of Laxta.

Naturally, it will take even longer, but I planned to do these as well and go up to level 34.

That's what the plan sheet in my head said.

But there was an unexpected madness in the plan.

It was Eugene's outrage again.

Oh, it's the god spirit Tygon! I'm guessing the brave men you've chosen are as docile as you'd like them to be and entertain your eyes? You must be!

I learned about Eugene's outrage when I visited Narsai's mansion.

"Do you hear me, Lord Magnus?

And, with a calm voice that gives him a peek at deep intelligence, he said.

Narsai is a man of excellent knowledge and discernment, and I have a glance at him, too.

The many "subquests" that started with his request led me to visit his mansion more than once, inevitably gaining my knowledge.

Narsai is undoubtedly a good man, but he taught me this in a sarcastic tone, which is common to those who are rich in wits.

"I hear Eugene and his line of champions have left King's Capital to crusade General Devil Fist Del Bembro."

"What... is that true, Lord Narsai?

"It seems for sure. It seems that that shallow man was deliberately ungrateful that he was going to pick it up now and hustled all over the place, making a lot of noise among the Wang Du Sparrows. I'm sure your busy Lord Magnus doesn't even know the rumors at the well end, but it was about three days ago."

"... Eugene.... what a fool"

I had a headache and put my hand on my forehead.

I don't think they've been able to level up dramatically since I left Eugene's party.

If so, they will undoubtedly be killed by Del Bembro.

…………

I also forget that I'm in the middle of a visit to the Narsai house, and I get silent and think about it.

If this was about the past form of Eugene and the others going to crusade Del Bembro and wiping it out, my mind wouldn't have bothered so much.

I would have prayed for a lot of good luck to them who are not strangers, and then I would have switched my mind clean and refreshing.

I'm not a hypocrite enough to cry there.

But what Narsai did to me was talk about the current progression.

Now that I was on my way to the Mountain of Death, I might have saved Eugene and the others.

…………………………………………

You're saving me? You know those guys? On purpose? Me?

Besides, you haven't gotten to the level until you're satisfied yet? Until you took a risk?

……………………………………………………………………………………

Whether we should go or not, that's the problem.

When you go to save Mel in Enzo Village, it's not a question of comparison.

Despite...... woohoo, they ended up being the same as when Mel.

My heart seems to have been set from the beginning.

I'm never a hypocrite, but he was so fond of me!

"I'm sorry, Lord Narsai. We're in a hurry, so please excuse us today."

"... are you going, Lord Magnus? To save such a crude man?

"Smile foolishly. In fact, I'm supposed to be in the mood for that, but when it comes to me, it's like this isn't funny."

"Oh my..."

Narsai was pounding again, as he had scowled back.

But I said this as I immediately reconsidered.

"I laugh, Lord Magnus. At dawn when you've even killed Del Bembro and triumphed, welcome him with a smile. Let me tell you something about martial arts until morning. Then I'll give you 35 years to keep."

"I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not strong enough to drink all night."

"Ha, did you! I see, is there a weakness in the Great Wizard, too! No disrespect, this wasn't a joke either."

"I don't mind. I'm the one who told you to laugh."

Now I'm gonna get laid, and we're gonna fucking laugh at each other.

But if that's the case, let me guess one thing, Lord Magnus' righteous heart.

"And you say?

"Let me lend you our secret 'floating carpet', not thirty-five years old. This should make you more likely to catch up with a line of brave men."

"Phew. Impossible, Lord Narsai"

Only this time did we laugh at each other from the bottom of our bellies.
