Tsuihou Sareta Bannou Mahou Kenshi wa, Koujou Denka no Shishou Tonaru

Blood splashed on the spot.

Cleon's holy sword slashed Flora from the front.

Flora screamed and collapsed on the spot.

The astrologer's yellow clothes stain with blood.

Cleon says quietly.

"I was aware that you were critical of my ways. I didn't avoid the crystal sword earlier to make it clear that you are a traitor.... I am the leader of the Knights of Salvation and have substantial command of the offensive team. Flora tried to kill me. So Flora can question the state treason in this place."

"If it hadn't been for you... your sister wouldn't have done such a terrible thing... or Senior Solon would have been kicked out"

Flora says with a painful breath.

Cleon ignored that Flora's words and instead punched something like a transparent pile into Flora's chest.

Flora screams high again.

And Cleon turns to Arte, who looks completely rigid.

In a hurry I went to Flora and gave in.

Quite a serious injury, so if you don't make allowance fast, it's too late.

And I'm also concerned about transparent piles. I don't know if it's some kind of demon outfit, but I don't see it, and I couldn't pull it out.

When I started using healing magic, Flora shook her head to the side.

"I'm... I'm a bad boy. Do terrible things to the children of the Demon King..."

"You can't talk. I can't help anything that helps me."

"More than me... take your sister..."

Looking back, Cleon had his hands on Pong and Arte's shoulders.

"Don't worry, Arte. The Demon King is not doomed. If you can make it disappear with as much force as Flora, there's no reason why Saul has been sealing it here for 2,000 years."

"The Demon King... Alive?

Cleon grinned at Arte's inquiry and quickly punched a clear pile around Arte's chest as well.

Arte opened her eyes wide and leaked a small scream, "Ahhh."

Cleon raised his voice.

"This woman, Arte, committed an assault on Lylenlemilia, the daughter of a nobleman, in an attempt to kidnap Her Royal Highness the Empress Philia. That sin is not light, so I will punish you here."

"Isn't that... what you knew about Senior Cleon?"

"Don't bother asking me to lie to you. It's the first time I've heard of Karelia's accusations."

The double-swordsman Carreria did not hesitate and agreed with Cleon's words. And Carreria said Arte had threatened her and made her hate to be part of the evil.

But it's Creon who's lying.

Arte's evil deeds should have been done under Cleon's approval, and even if it were Arte's rampage, all Cleon must have been silent after the fact.

So Cleon is trying to be solemn on this occasion by turning to Arte for some reason.

"There are countless other counts of your sins, including the embezzlement of Knights' property and the abduction and illegal enslavement of civilian daughters. And I conspired with your sister to murder me."

"No! I don't know Flora's trying to do that - yah!

Cleon kicked up the nagging alte.

And then I grab that hair and drag my face up.

"Sacrifice is a sacrifice for everything. It doesn't matter how much sacrifice you make to gain great power. That's what Arte should have said. Then let yourself be sacrificed!

At the same time as Creon's words, the clear pile struck Arte's chest began to glow red.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Somebody help. - Oh, my God, oh, my God!

Arte screamed his ear piercing and turned to the spot.

How much pain is running.

At the same time, a magic runoff had arisen from Arte's body.

The reason for the severe pain is probably because they are forcibly deprived of their magic.

That was the same for Flora. It would have been a greater burden for Flora, who was originally seriously injured.

Flora looked at me like she was seeking salvation, gasping for intense pain.

Anyway, we have to stop Flora's blood alone.

but someone pounded my shoulder.

It was Creon.

"Solon, there's no reason for you to help these women."

"But..."

"You should choose someone to help. Otherwise... you'll lose everything. These two are no longer helpful. I want you to sacrifice for the resurrection of the Demon King."

"Arte and Flora?

"Oh. These two are brilliant mages. And he used the demon king's descendants in large quantities and used them until they broke to enhance his magic."

"I guess Cleon was letting the two of us use the Descendants of the Demon King?

Cleon continued ignoring my words.

"The blood of Arte and Flora is pretty close to the descendants of the Demon King. And the better the magician the sacrifice itself is, the more efficiently it can be the medium of the demon king's resurrection. Which means that using these two is more likely to succeed than sacrificing the demon king's descendants themselves."

"Sacrificing Master Philia and reviving the Demon King..."

"Did Flora say that? Yeah, and maybe Arte was gonna do that. But I am a loyal servant of this empire. You can't possibly do something that awesome, can you?

Cleon laughed delightfully.

Under his feet, he said in a faint voice, "Help... help me", as rumors say, that Flora no longer had the power to scream.

My healing magic alone drained Flora too fast, obviously not in time.

But there were no other adventurers trying to help Flora and Arte.

Arte was making the offensive team adventurers try to escape fight with strength, and he was buying grudges in the first place.

Especially since the adventurers on my side had no reason at all to help Arte.

Summoners Notaras and Swordsmen Lascaros are Arte's enemies.

Nasha, the black monk, would be the side who would rather kill Arte.

It was Arte who committed a terrible assault on Lylenlemilia, the Lord of Nasha, until he was otherwise rendered obsolete.

And Flora was that Arte's sister, and she tried to kill Cleon.

No one dared to be Cleon's enemy.

I asked in a trembling voice.

"What the hell is Cleon's purpose? It's for Cleon himself to resurrect the Demon King, and I suppose that touches on the contraindications of the Church? That's what Flora said."

"The most unforgivable of Arte's sins... is that Arte insulted Shea"

I didn't know for a moment how the story related to Cleon's true purpose, but I was annoyed.

Magic that touches upon the contraindications of the Church and requires so much magic that it uses the power of the Demon King.

And what Cleon truly wants.

"Bringing our former companion, the dead girl back to life. The resurrection of Shea, the resurrection of the dead, is my purpose."

Cleon looked resolute and ran out.
