Melnia, the leader of the Elstadt Magic Knights and Northern Crusade Force, was visiting the foothills (foothills), close to the town of Nazarev, along with ten squires.

"If it's as prophetic, it's about time..."

Mernia was twitching.

According to the Mayor's story, the Demon King, the Emperor of the Earth (Earth Road), will soon descend upon the land.

"Will the Demon King really show up?

I'm sure you won't show up.

To the vice president, Hermish, Mernia tells him in a tone that encourages reassurance.

(Yes. The prophecy is dictated by the mayor's mistake)

Mernia herself has not dispelled her anxiety, but it is also a patience until the sun rises.

Because if we can make it to dawn safely, the prophecy of the mayor will prove us wrong.

"Look, it's a look. It's a beautiful full moon."

Mernia points to the brilliant and radiant full moon, trying to distract her men.

Looking at the beautiful night sky, nature and mind calm down...

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!

Suddenly a tall sound echoes, and a crack runs in the space ahead about fifty meters.

It's a space-time distortion!

"All hands, we're going into combat immediately!

The Mernians surround the distortions of time and space and erect a magic wand (Withers Rod).

Pachywyn!!

The space cracked and from there appeared a guy-tip with a red tea cape woven.

A disastrous aura that is regarded all over the body.

fluctuations of intent to kill released from the body.

Pressure and overwhelm until overwhelming.

... definitely.

"Ki, you are - you are the Emperor of the Earth!?

Mernia asked, squeezing her courage.

"Ho. Do you know my two names?"

A squeaky voice echoes on Mernia's head.

I guess he's sending telepaths to everyone on this scene, his men had their faces drawn to terror.

"I am the strong man you seek!

Mernia tries to take on the hostility of the "Emperor of the Earth" all by herself.

'No (Na). Thou art not a mighty man. You are nothing but weak people. "

But the Demon King looks around at the faces of the Mernians.

"There is no forgiveness for the weak. It's boring till the mighty show up. Show me the power of the warriors of this age. '

"I'm going to do that even if they don't tell me!

Mernia completes the Poison Smog rune.

Moments later, the Demon King was engulfed in purple fog.

Anything that touches that fog will melt in its place.

"Lord Hermish!

"I understand!

Hermish uses magic to manipulate the soil.

Soil rose from the foot of the demon king, and the demon king covered himself with soil for every fog of venom.

Plus the squire coats the soil with ice magic into a kachikachi.

Instead of drawing runes in that narrowness, you shouldn't even be able to hang around.

"If you can't even use magic, don't be afraid of the Demon King."

"-!? Captain, let's do it!

Mernia turns to her fellow voice.

There was a knack in front of me.

"Hey, why..."

Mernia has too much fear.

"Why are you there!?

Cages made of earth and ice remain undamaged.

So why is there a demon king here!

"Let's Stay Momentary"

"So, but I can't believe you draw runes covered in dirt...... are you a brain rune!?

'Sometimes I wonder what. It would be an initial step in the early stages, such as brain runes'

"Oh, no..."

The Demon King cut off the brain loon, which Philip couldn't even imitate, as a preliminary during the initial period.

Being stuck with the overwhelming difference in power, Melnia becomes desperate.

"" "" "" "" "" "Ugh!?

The screams of his companions echoed, and at some point Melnia, nagging, looked up haphazardly.

It's like a neck job.

Down from the neck of the companions, they were buried in the ground.

"Duh, what is it!?

"Wow, I don't know!

"It was in this state when I realized it!

"Hey, something's pulling my leg!

The companions bury themselves in the ground as they speak.

"Ki, is it your fault!?

When Mernia glances, the Demon King squeaks his teeth in delight.

"If you defeat me within five minutes, your people will be buried alive. If you don't want to lose your people, you can make me happy to die."

"Come on, I'll make you regret it!

Melnia distances herself from the Demon King in the backstep and sets up a magic wand.

"Yes, you shouldn't! Run, please!

My people have encouraged me to flee.

"You can't abandon your men and run away!

"But it's annihilated as it is! Survive just the captain! And you can reward Master Philip for the coming of the Demon King!

"Ku......!

Mernia bit her lips to shame her own powerlessness.

It is visible that you will be killed even if you fight the Demon King like this.

If the Mernians are wiped out, mankind will be ambushed by the Demon King.

But if we can report the coming of the Demon King to Philip, we may be able to take some action.

'It's no use. You can't run away from me. "

A chilling voice echoes in the back of my brain.

"My magic has the power to crumble all matter. If you shed my magic into the earth, homes, towns, mankind - everything that is rooted in the earth will instantly return to the earth!

"Oh, no... don't win like that..."

Melnia wept over so much horror.

With one Demon King's will, the Melnians - mankind living on this continent will be made to earth.

I run, I don't run. It was Melnia who was worried about the two choices, but the choices didn't exist.

There is no escape from the Demon King.

"Every life comes from the earth and is destined to return to the earth"

The cold voice of the Demon King echoes on the head of Mernia, who gets a hiccup and a whimper.

"More than my return, all mankind will return to the earth"

The Demon King put his arms to heaven to boast of his power.

"Come on, the dawn of the earthly age -"

Difficult.

Something rolled away from Mernia and the Demon King.

……

……

Melnia and the Demon King chase something with their eyes.

Something stopped about 25 meters rolling, I got up completely.

"Ah. My clothes are dirty..."

That was a boy about three years old.
