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

I sighed.

Garrells was defeated and no longer had any enemies actively trying to harm me.

Adventurers of the Garrells squad and members of the Knights of Salvation also see the overwhelming power of Sophia the Virgin and Lucy the Crimson.

They didn't seem to dare fight us either.

I don't think Cleon would have let Sophia and Lucy participate in the offense in anticipation of this kind of thing.

However, Cleon and Carreria. The main force of the Knights of Salvation carries out the ritual of the Resurrection of the Demon King among the thrones.

I turned my attention to the magic absorber.

It was taken down by Garrels.

When I retrieved it quickly, I headed to Flora.

We must free Flora and Arte from the sacrifice of the Resurrection of the Demon King.

I have dealt with similar items of demonic equipment in this hand once.

Flora was neat, and if Lisa hadn't kept doing her recovery magic, I think she'd already be dead.

When I nodded to Lisa, who was kneeling under Flora's feet, I began disarming the magic absorber that was attached to Flora.

Flora didn't wake up, but she lifted her chest up and down thinly and breathed, turning out to be alive.

Sophia rushes over and takes turns playing the role of restorative magic with Lisa.

Lisa said she admired the Virgin, and when Sophia came nearby, she was crushing "It's the Virgin Ah" and shining her face.

Lisa is also an excellent white monk, but the restorative magic of the Virgin goes far above Lisa.

I just didn't know if Flora would help, even with all that powerful healing magic.

After a while, the disarming of Flora's magic absorber was over.

Arte is next.

He looks at the ceiling with his nosy eyes in a black magic dress that was supposed to be arte.

However, the burden on the magic absorber seems to increase over a certain period of time, and I guess it's not so bitter right now.

Besides, it's not as worn out as Flora.

Arte has a weak voice and asks me.

"... why... do seniors help me?

"Because Flora asked me to."

"... Flora is... Huh!

Whether the wound hurt or because of the agony of the magic absorber, Arte blushed.

"You'd better not talk."

"I... have always hated Senior Solon"

"I know you don't have to say it again."

"Why does the Virgin think about someone like this...... and I've always wondered if Flora likes it. But... thank you for your help."

I was surprised and stared seriously at Arte's black eyes.

"What...?

"No, I didn't think Arte was going to thank you honestly."

"Um... are you fooling around?

"Sticky."

I smiled and Arte swelled her cheeks uncomfortably, staring at me.

I haven't been able to disarm the magic absorber yet, but you thought it was helpful, and Arte seemed to have regained a little energy.

It would be nice if Arte could take the opportunity to change his mind a little.

Arte gave himself up entirely to me and entrusted me with the disarming device.

And Arte crushes.

"I... can't be vice president of the Knights of Salvation anymore, can I?"

"I guess."

No matter how the story falls from here, there is no way that a settlement can be reached between Creon and Arte.

Arte nodded.

"So I..."

Arte lay her eyes down and said something.

The magic absorber will come off shortly.

At that moment, the magic absorber struck Alte's chest once again began to emit intense light.

Besides, the color of the light was not the same as before, it was dull blue.

Arte opens her black eyes wide and her expression stains with despair.

"Shit......!

We should have made quite a rush to disarm the magic absorber, but we couldn't make it just one more step.

I guess the demon king resurrection is in its final stages.

Faster than ever, a magic absorber is trying to take magic away from Arte.

Arte leaned on me to seek salvation.

"No...... help me, Senior Solon! It's already hurting. Do it...... yaaaaaaaa!

Along with the screaming of Arte, a strong wave of magic arises from Arte's body.

And Arte's body is enveloped in a blurry golden light.

Lucy screams in an upward voice from behind.

"Solon! If we don't leave, you'll get involved too......!

Indeed, if you continue to disarm the magic absorber here, you will be caught in the runoff of Alte's magic.

But Arte had a color of fear in his eyes, staring at me.

I'm ready.

You should be able to disarm the Magic Absorber in a little while.

The range of light emitted from Arte widens, and because of its rampant magic, the pain runs like it can burn on my skin.

Arte had also lost his temper to scream, or he was just going to breathe with a rough breath, turning his face bright red.

If you don't hurry, Arte's health will reach its limits.

I'm finally in the last phase of disarming.

I reached out with patience for the pain and pulled out the clear pile that stabbed Arte in the chest.

At the same time, the flow of light and magic stopped, and Arte nodded like a puppet with a broken thread, tickling and motionless.

"Arte!"

I called on Arte, but there was no way Arte would wake up.

That's when the door between the thrones opened.

The faces in the white uniforms of the Knights of Salvation emerge from that room.

There was Cleon, of course.

"Gentlemen! The resurrection of the Demon King, and its control, was successful. And then we'll get the treasure of this ruin and pull it up.... we are heroes!

The adventurers all looked angry.

For many adventurers, the purpose of coming here is twofold.

One is to get the honor and foil of a successful Necropolis offensive.

The other was to acquire immense treasures of ancient ruins.

Most adventurers headed to collect treasures all at once, scattered.

Cleon came here and looked with contempt at Arte and Flora lying motionless.

"You're done with these women. You're lucky you didn't die, but I'm sure you'll regret that you were better off dead. I lost everything as a magician."

"It was Cleon who did that."

"Are you going to be angry? Arte and his men have worked treacherously at the expense of many of the demon king's descendant girls. You deserve it."

"But these two are marquis, even if they are. I didn't know you were okay with doing this..."

"Oh, then there's no problem. By now, these two Marquis families have also been charged with national treason"

When Sophia snapped, "Even the Imperial Church won't allow this," Cleon smiled.

"You said that about Flora, too. But behind me is the Archbishop of the Church, the Holy See of Hestia. The bishops who gave Flora the name of defeating me will soon lose their legs."

After all, it meant that there was nothing to protect Arte and Flora.

I stared at Cleon.

Cleon was smiling anyway, but his eyes weren't laughing.

"These women are already used up. I've recovered all my magic, and I won't be able to use magic again. It's ironic because you lost all your power as a result of your quest for power."

"What do we do with Arte and Flora?

"It is certain that you will fall into slavery as a traitor, and in that case we, the Knights, will not retain our stature."

"I know that's true, but I want to know what we're gonna do after that."

"I see.... well, you were the daughter of a prestigious aristocrat, all this beautiful girl, and famous as a genius sorcerer. No matter how expensive, there will be people trying to buy it. If it's a spectacle and auctioned off, it should help the Knights in any way."

"Cleon......!

"Oh, or maybe I can reward you for this feat and give it to me around Garrells. He'd love that."

I was relieved.

If Garrels enslaves Arte and Flora.

I don't want to imagine how to treat you,

If I wanted to help Arte and Flora here, there was only one way.

I'll buy Arte and Flora.

Of course, it's not like I really treat the two of you as slaves.

As I once did when I helped the demon Perse, I need to formally decide that it is more "my stuff" than I can escape slavery status.

Cleon turned true.

"I was waiting for that word. If you're going to enslave the two of us, I'll have you pay the price for it."

I had to buy them both at Creon's word.

For a distracting amount of money, even from my wealth, it was quite painful.

When the negotiations were concluded, Cleon tried to walk away from the spot.

Cleon has a large cadre of Relief Knights on his side, and it's not a good idea to fight now.

I just might have to settle for it someday.

I spoke to Cleon.

"Aren't you going to stop Shea from resurrecting?

"No.... Shea was irreplaceable to me. Shea told me that she cared more about me than anything else. So I, too, whatever sacrifice I make, will bring Shea back to life."

Cleon didn't look back any more.

We were left behind, silent for a while.

Eventually, Philia opened her mouth.

"... we won, didn't we"

I nodded and smiled.

"It was my purpose to protect Master Philia in this ruin."

In that sense, I can say that we have definitely won.

The offensive team made a considerable sacrifice, but at least Philia didn't suffer one wound.

When Philia smiled happily, she approached me to jump and hugged me.

"Wah, wah, Dear Philia!?

"Thanks! Solon!

"Mi, we're all watching"

"Should I stop?

Before I could answer, Sophia, Lucy and Lisa said, "You better not!" He said in a hurry at about the same time, feeling exquisite and hammered.

I had a little trouble but smiled and stroked Philia's head.

"Let's go back to our mansion."

And then I slapped Philia on the shoulder and slowly let her go, and she moved her eyes to Arte and Flora.

The two still didn't look like they were going to get up.

According to Cleon, the two became bodies that could never use magic again.

Magic paths would also be blurred because they took enormous magic for the resurrection of the Demon King, and they were forced to take it.

You think I'm gonna be okay with Sophia being treated? When she heard, Sophia shook her head to the side.

"I'm not dead. But... Mr. Flora may never wake up again"

According to Sophia's standpoint, Flora has even suffered brain damage.

The likelihood of recovering until we could wake up and have a normal conversation was about 20%.

I felt dark.

Flora told me she always liked me, just before the sacrifice.

"Sorry I didn't notice."

And I crushed every single one of them.

I want to help Flora somehow.

That's when I heard "Ugh" groaning.

When I saw him, he was up, looking like Arte was going to suffer.

Arte's beautiful dark hair flutters and shakes.

"Me... did you help me? But why is it dark?

Me and Sophia looked at each other.

The adventurers are burning a lot of bonfires around to find treasure, and it was pretty bright around.

Maybe.

"And my right hand... and my left foot doesn't move well either"

I guess the last magic absorption left some sequelae on Arte's body.

He was blind, his right hand and left leg were also unusable, and he lost all his magic.

And he was greatly wounded in the heart, and he fell from nobility to slavery.

That was Arte now.

I decided to keep the situation down for a while.

Until just now Arte had been sacrificed, violenced, and quite cornered.

Yet if we tell you everything further here, whether Arte's heart can stand it or not.

But Arte tried to get up, and he couldn't do it and nearly fell to the front.

I hugged him in a hurry.

"Senior Solon?

"Uh, yeah, I am."

Even though it's force majeure, it makes me look like I'm holding Arte from the front.

You wouldn't like Arte, I thought, but surprisingly, Arte didn't try to resist.

Arte's body was very light and warm.

When I do this, Arte only seems like a regular girl in her late teens.

No.

Arte was just a girl right now.

The girl, who pursued her power and whom the powerful said was just, lost everything.

Magic became unusable, a body that couldn't live a normal life as a human being, a slave to me.

Arte is no longer a wise woman.

I whispered to Arte.

"Get some rest. Because you don't have to worry about anything."

"... Seniors protect you?

"Oh."

Arte smiled softly as she was relieved, leaving her entire weight with me, losing her mind.

Cleon, the Holy Knight, was stuck in the office of the headquarters of the Order of Salvation after pulling him up from Necropolis.

It's already past two o'clock in the night.

The demon king who revived him was literally in his hands.

A golden dwarf stuck in a vial.

That was the body of the demon king Aka Manaf.

The plan for the resurrection of the Demon King was a success.

Everything is going well.

However, Solon needs to be crushed.

I'm sure he'll stand in front of Cleon and be a major obstacle to Shea's resurrection.

Arte, a former sage, assaulted Solon's mansion, but failed abruptly.

This time again, guardian warrior Garrels tried to violently eliminate Solon, but it didn't work.

In the end, the short-circuit idea of defeating them with force is useless.

Cleon thinks so.

As long as the Virgin Sophia and the Empress Philia are on Solon's side, it will not be easy to defeat Solon.

So we need to use another hand.

The first step is to take away Solon's property and bankrupt him.

Already Solon spent quite a bit for the Artes, but that's just a small part of Solon's assets.

But with the merchant Perse, a slave to Solon, it was possible to bankrupt Solon.

Perse is loyal to Solon and won't even think about betraying him. And Solon trusts Perse, too.

That's why Perse has value for money.

Before Perse realizes it himself, he will be put on Cleon's ploy to help Solon ruin.

And another thing, Cleon had a powerful weapon.

Cleon took a piece of paperwork out of the shelf.

That was a report from the Imperial Secret Police/Emperor's Office, Part III.

What was written there was that one of the professors at the Imperial School of Magic secretly had a critical idea for the government.

She is a member of the Revolutionary Secret Society and Free Alliance. And he had received financial assistance from the enemy Republic of Alemania Farren.

What mattered was that the professor was extremely close to Solon.

The rebel is a crimson Lucy.

Solon's master.

This will be the material to hunt down Solon.

If we do well, we will also be able to get people of value for use such as Sofia and Philia.

Cleon smiled, "Wait, Shea," he snapped.
