Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 208: First Shot

As prior information suggests, what is coming towards us is a number of demons that say we should reach hundreds, plus about a tenth of that number of people.

Behind the group was the Barbara subdivision of the Logsuela Mountains, and the demons were seen running in such a way as to drive them away.

"Does the small number mean spare time, or does the original small number of species...?

Claude sees the composition of the enemy and squeals like that.

I don't know which one it is, but it has never been confirmed in history.

It is predicted that the original number is low.

"Looks like they were pretty strong, and I'm glad they're low on numbers anyway"

From the memory of Illis, not as hard as Zoe or Illis struggles, but common adventurers, those are also tough guys to deal with even veterans.

If that pushes dozens or hundreds or thousands, that alone will crumble the front.

If the Lulu and the others fight seriously, it will not be impossible to push back or defeat them, but there is no such thing as a flashy intention this time.

To do so is, at best, a level of coverage possible for the average adventurer.

Aside from how Lulu perceives its “generally possible” description.

"... it's about time. Hey, Claude. And Shuzon, it's a signal."

When Lulu said that and blindfolded him, Claude waved at the adventurers and knights staring at this one, with one in every group in formation.

Szón opens his mouth wide and shows off his powerful howl.

Billy and I guess he remembered that the air was shaken and those on the spot trembled, both knights and adventurers, but that Hell Dog (Hellhound), the Lord of the howling voice, was explained to Orotus that he was on his side this time.

I immediately put away the tremor and stared at the enemy coming towards me.

And then the knights and adventurers split into two hands by making a noise.

With Lulu at the rear, the formation left to the right so as to make way for Lulu.

Poughty, at the end of the road opened for Lulu, you can see demons and man-shaped people pushing up earthsmoke.

In addition, the demons under Barbara behind the group of humans and demons also slipped aside from the spot as soon as they heard Szon's voice.

Confirmed it, Lulu stood up.

Lulu staring at the demons, pointing straight at his palms with no weapons or anything.

From the side it was quiet and felt as if I was just standing there.

But if the beholder sees it, he will turn a blind eye to the unusual magical movements taking place there.

There is an enormous amount of magic gathering around Lulu.

That wasn't supposed to happen before.

But now, gathering around Lulu, it has an equal magnitude to what is called a magic disaster if it aggregates to a single point in nature.

When too much magic gathered at one point, no one could predict what would happen, and it was therefore incumbent on the sorcerer to artificially consume magic and scatter it again if such phenomena were confirmed, but only this time was the magic that leaked one after the other from Lulu's body saying that this was not a natural phenomenon.

That's part of the magic that only one magician released out of his body to build his own surgery.

When I said the magicians on the spot who understood the matter were stunned, I didn't.

I wonder if it is possible to have so much magic on your own.

Because Lulu's magic power was so enormous that he even thought of that fact before his eyes in reality.

And I got worried.

I was wondering if a boy of that age could handle such immense and powerful magic.

I was wondering if, by mistake, it would fail to control it and generate a magic disaster that would cause tremendous damage to its surroundings.

The magicians who thought so much, when they returned to me, tried to run out to stop Lulu from acting.

But the hour is already late.

When they tried to move it into action, Lulu had already finished it all.

They dropped off that moment when Lulu's mouth cast a short spell, with fear and a wish.

"... Power, let go - Magic Cluster Cannon (Magia Stoudle Cannon)"

And a running stream of blue light was spewed out of Lulu's flat hands at a terrible rate.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... ugh, ooh!!

Claude stared as he tried not to blink as much as he could in the dazzle of blue light, trying to burn all of that into his eyes.

That it got into my eyes as a result.

That was an incredible sight that just one magician couldn't possibly do.

First, Lulu's unleashed Magic Cluster Cannon.

In and of itself, fine.

I know it exists, and I've seen it.

I've had my brother, Shui, show me, and he taught me how to use it.

So I can't use it again.

But the power is clearly different.

Usually, when it comes to magic cluster guns, at best less than fifty centimeters in diameter is the best, and that's the limit.

As for power, it is a substitute that will be unbearable if one person, enough to blow up, wears metal armor and is well trained.

Of course, this is not the case for some - non-standard mages like Shui-Relieve, and it seems impossible to even penetrate thick stone walls.

However, he still said things that were difficult if that was about the limit, and the distance was not quite close.

But Lulu let it go, it wasn't on that level.

First of all, I am amazed at the immensity of that cluster cannon, which is thick and nearly ten meters in diameter.

Simple calculations would be releasing convergence cannons twenty times the diameter of a common sorcerer.

Moreover, given the increasing consumption of magic per volume, the total amount of magic used is just horrible to think about.

Plus, that's how long it lasts.

I can't say that the enemy was still that close because Lulu said it was time to signal, I gave instructions to the knights/adventurers to pave the way at a much distant position, but to be honest, I wondered if a magic cluster cannon or something would arrive at such a distance.

But how about reality?

Lulu's magic cluster cannons strike directly at hundreds of demonic groups, as he laughs lightly at such Claude's worries and so forth.

It then reached Gagaga, and the freshly shredded sounds of the earth, as well as Claude, whose explosions and blasts should be far apart, so as to teach the demons that they had hit them, as if their destructive power had not been attenuated at all by distance.

Plus, that wasn't all I had to do horribly.

Lulu's Magic Cluster Cannon began scattering in all directions as it split after a massive explosion hit a demonic group, attacking demons and humans who should have been able to escape the direct fire of the Magic Cluster Cannon.

Claude thought it would be less powerful than it was dispersed from a large cluster cannon, but that prediction would be taken off again.

The dispersed cluster cannons caused severe injuries that were close to fatal when they were hit by each demon.

To the demons who fled, the swirls of light that struck them did so, and for some time they continued to ravage them.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

When all of the light subsided, less than half the number of demons that were coming this way at the beginning remained on the spot.

Still, it can never be called an easy battle because there are hundreds of bodies left, but the demons' morale can be seen dropping dramatically to the devastating blow that struck them by accident.

- I see, so much.

Szón saw the sight and thought to himself,

To the rumors of the wind some time ago, or that Shzon had a hobby of catching adventurers who came to the mountains and listening occasionally, Shzon was surprised when he bought the story that the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) that appeared in the Wang capital had been crusaded.

The fact that the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) was who it was did not leave the prediction stage yet at that time, but the speculation was made that Nina was the one whose ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) said it had suddenly emerged at about the same time because of the sudden disappearance of Nina from the mountain one day.

And if so, by the time I heard the story anymore, Nina was not from the world anymore.

I couldn't believe it.

Ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) are special to the demons of the Loguesuela Mountains.

More than long ago - according to their stories, nine hundred years ago - they are the beings who have ruled the Logsuela Mountains and led the demons.

Initially, it meant that ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) had had trouble flying in from the outside, but by the time Shzon was born, the mountain lord was already an ancient dragon (enchanted dragon).

Not now, my parents admired, subordinated and supported the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon), and I lived thinking that one day I would be the way I would say it, and in fact, at some point I was in the same position as my parents.

Of course, in terms of simple strength, Szón was never weak, but only to a far extent blurred compared to the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon).

Inevitably, the role of Szón took the place of the unreliable Lord, with the fine mediation of the mountains and the maintenance of harmony, then the care of the ancient dragons (Enchanted Dragons) themselves, being fundamental.

In the meantime, one day someone named the mother of the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) who was serving came to the mountains and left the baby of one small ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon).

A small being that only looks like a little dragon (Liga Dragon).

I left that ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) to Barbara, but Barbara at the time was oblivious to what she said and often panicked.

As a result, it inevitably became more common for Szon to take care of that ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) baby.

He gave him food, slept with him, taught him how to walk in the woods, and told him how he should behave as the Lord of the mountains.

Its ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) made Nina almost enough to be called the daughter of Szon.

Such a nina was defeated by a human being who could not know anywhere.

It's not a hoarding thing.

It was as much as I even wanted to go for revenge.

But if you tell Barbara what Szón heard, she said.

Nina is still alive, he said.

I don't know how, but they say ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) can feel each other's lives and deaths.

So, with a very slight reaction, you say you can see Nina is still alive.

Well, that's fine.

If she is not dead, sooner or later she will return, the Lord of this mountain.

Barbara had ruled for me in place of Nina, but I was relieved to wait until she returned, too.

But.

Live long enough. Nina never came back.

On the contrary, one day I saw her walking to friendliness with people (human beings).

Seems quite enjoyable, is.

There were many feelings I felt at that moment, but the strongest feelings were still reassuring.

There was no outrage as to why he didn't come back.

But she seemed happy.

And I thought, "If you don't want to go home anymore, that's okay."

That's why I dared to be cold.

Got it.

I hoped she wouldn't get caught up in the strange things that were happening in the mountains and woods.

But Nina wasn't irresponsible, she found out about the mountain anomaly and came back to solve it.

I didn't know how much I could do to her for losing her “skin” and attenuating her power, but now I have her sister too.

With two ancient dragons (enchanted dragons), I didn't doubt they would, no matter what the problem, be easy to solve.

Yet.

Where did I go wrong, now the demons of the Logsuela Mountains are making a covenant with humans and trying to take their hands together to counter the situation.

It wasn't like Nina had a problem with how it happened with someone in between who felt benevolent and dear.

However, it would be a lie if the demon told me that he didn't think where the hell it was necessary to help people.

Somewhere we thought we could manage.

Until just now.

But the power shown easily blew up such questions and such.

- Is this the power that people can have?

So much so that I frankly thought so.

And if this is true, even ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) can be defeated.

Clearly, it is a dangerous force.

So much so that if this power continues to be wielded against demons, one day they will hunt it all down.

But if you look to the side, after releasing the Magic Cluster Cannon, Lulu was looking at this one and laughing as he sat down on the ground to get into it.

"... shzon. I asked for the rest."

With eyes as if there was a trust with no threshold, I looked at this one, and he said so.

It was just one word, but Shuzon felt something there.

A strange force that makes you want to follow nature.

Follow this person's words and you'll feel good fighting.

I felt that way.

So Szón nods.

Someone who had complex thoughts earlier, but still didn't feel bad about nodding.

"You should leave it to me. You rest there."

What you can talk about as a demon is a stunt by Shuzon.

Lulu opened his eyes to his surprise at it, and Szón put it on like a wind the next moment, a little happy that he was surprised that way.
