22 – Battle of Mahhae Coast – 1
“Doesn’t it really hurt?”
“No, no…”
“But what’s wrong with the tone?”
“No! Don’t worry!”
For some reason, I took the red-faced Ellie out of the cave. Then the cool forest air came out and greeted Ellie.
“How far have I been caught?”
“Hmm…A bit far?”
“Haa…That’s stupid… To think that Leonhardt’s princess was captured by demons…”
Asmodians? It had a strange appearance, but was it really a demon?!
“Are those horned guys demons?”
“Don’t you know? The kidnappers are a race called goblins among demons.”
A goblin? The goblins I know don’t have anything other than dramas.
“But how do I get back? Do I have to walk?”
“No.”
“So what?”
“This is fine.”
I used [Psychokinesis] To launch Ellie, who was making an incomprehensible expression, into the air.
Then Ellie screamed at her in surprise when she saw her own body suddenly float up.
“Kyaaak-!”
“Oh, that was the first womanly scream.”
I watched Ellie playfully as she squirmed her legs and arms in her air.
Then Ellie shouted at me with a ferocious expression.
“Are you going to get scolded?!”
“Sorry, it’s fun waving her limbs like a hell worm.”
“…………”
Huh? Wasn’t this something to say to a woman?
Ah, I don’t know.
“Then shall we depart?”
“Now…Wait…!”
“Oops!”
I took Ellie and started her flight. Then Ellie closed her eyes tight as I held her in my arms, perhaps because she was afraid of heights unexpectedly.
“What? Are you afraid of heights?”
“Ah..No..!”
“Oh is that so?”
I got annoyed with Ellie’s reply and raised her flight altitude even more, then Ellie noticed through her wind currents that she was moving to a higher altitude, and her face turned pale. Hagin started muttering her strange words.
“I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine.”
“Really?”
As if to brainwash myself, I quickly lowered her altitude in an instant with the image to make fun of Ellie, who kept muttering ‘I’m fine.’
Ellie screamed as she then mistakenly thought she was falling.
“aaa”
“Ah, my f*cking ears are going to explode..”

I decided to stop bothering her Ellie for the sake of my cochlea. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a beast, but once my throat is dirty.
“Gaon…! Are you kidding me right now?!”
“No, I just lowered the altitude a bit because it looked cold.”
“Ugh…”
Ellie came closer into my arms, shaking her body like a wet puppy.
But isn’t this posture a bit dangerous? That… The area around her chest is touching…
“Kuhm!”
“Ugh…”
Well, nothing bad!
———————————————
I arrived at the royal castle with Eli.
But the royal castle was a little noisy.
“Ah…! Gaon-nim, you saved the princess!”
At that time, the lady-in-waiting who had been guiding me to Ellie and I arrived on the ground.
“Yeah, but why is it so messy? Is it because of Ellie?”
“That…That’s…”
The lady-in-waiting did not open her mouth, her eyes trembling.
Seeing that, Ellie must have felt uneasy, so she grabbed the maid by the shoulders and asked as if shouting.
“What’s up! Answer me!”
“That…That’s… His Majesty led the army to the base of the Demon Army…”
“What?!”
Ellie put her handmaid’s shoulders on her shoulder and muttered as if her panic had come for a moment.
“Because of me..? Bah…We have to go fast! There will definitely be a lot of casualties…Come on…”
“Calm down Ellie.”
I calmed Ellie, who was trembling and muttering.
“Do you know where the army went?”
“Yes… The demon army base is located near the sea, so the army must have gone there.”
Do you? Where are you?
“Mahae? Ellie, do you know where you are?”
“If it’s the Demon Sea… It’s the sea that sits above the labyrinth of the abyss. It’s a place that the Demons must pass through when they cross over to the Central Continent. So the demon base must be located on the coast near the Demon Sea.”
Ellie pointed with her finger to the opposite side of the forest where she had been kidnapped.
“If you go straight in the direction I pointed out, you will come to the Asmodian Base. It’s where the entrance to the Abyssal Labyrinth is.”
“Really?”
I heard Ellie’s words and activated [Psychokinesis] And went up into the air. Then Ellie was perplexed and asked me.
“I…I?”
“Here you are.”
“Ha..But!”
“You know what? You’re only a burden.”
“………”
Ellie lowered her head at my words and put on a grim expression.
But the battlefield is dangerous for the weak Ellie. It would be nice if she didn’t get kidnapped again like she did earlier.
“I’ll be back.”
“Yes……”
Ellie looked at me with a sad expression.
Wait, that expression is too cheaty…
“Gaon…That…If he comes back this time…”
“Huh?”
“That… One wish… I’ll grant it…”
Wish?
“Suddenly?”
“You saved me twice…So I’ll grant you a wish when you come back…”
“Hmm… Nothing bad, okay.”
‘It’s a wish… I’ve never thought of it… Since I’m a princess, should I ask for enough money to live happily ever after?’
For some reason Ellie lowered her head with her face blushing.
I left Ellie behind her and started flying toward her demon base.
—————–
Majok base near the coast of Mahae
There, Rex, the Commander of the Corps of Despair and the current Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Army, was watching the beastman army approaching from a distance with amusement.
“The little beasts are coming like worms.”
Rex held onto his favorite sword, Dain Sleif, and smiled while showing his teeth.
“Lilith, are you ready?”
-Of course.
Rex waited patiently for the beast army while talking telepathically with a certain woman.
After waiting for about a minute, I saw a man in front of the army with tremendous energy.
“Ohh…That’s the Beast King? It looks so f*cking strong…”
-You’d better not think about fighting alone. Among the demons, it’s a monster that only the Devil or Veronica can deal with.
“Ah~ I see. Prepare the magic quickly.”
Rex ignored the woman’s warning voice and grabbed her Demon Sword, Dain Sleif, with one hand and lifted it above her head.
-Wait! What are you doing now…
“Isn’t it okay to arrange a welcome?”
Rex wielded the dainsleif as it was, and fired a large jet-black sword toward the beastman army.
Kwagagagagang-!!!
Before the large jet-black sword, which seemed to be 20m high, reached the beastman army, the beastman king, who was commanding the army right in front of him, blocked the sword.
“Huh!”
King Suin took a deep breath and swung his fist at the jet-black sword.
– Clink!!
Then there was a sound like glass breaking, and a large jet-black sword shattered.
“Wow…. I shot it with all my heart, but they blocked it so easily?”
-Are you crazy? I told you not to mess with it!
“Boy… You’re far away anyway. Rather, I attacked and slowed down even more? You bought me time to sing magic.”
-Crazy. Also you are not my taste.
“Isn’t it a compliment that you don’t like succubuses?”
– Bastard.
Rex giggled at the woman’s answer and looked at the Beast King.
The Beast King was making a stern expression as he glared at Rex, who fired his sword.
“Wow… That’s scary… Just by looking at its face, isn’t it Winston’s level?”
-Don’t talk about that muscle monster?
“Why? Wasn’t it the future West?”
-Kill?
“Let’s try it.”
Ignoring Lilith’s telepathic screams, Rex shouted at the beastman army, now so close.
“Hey~ you bastards~! Are you here to find the princess?”
At that moment, tremendous energy emanated from the Beast King.
Red mana powerful enough to make not only the surrounding mana but also the entire land resound.
It was the effect of [Leon Heart], A unique skill passed down from generation to generation in the Leonhard family.
‘Wow… What is that crazy thing?’
Rex looked at the Beast King, who was sweating coldly and spouting red mana.
I realized it instinctively. That he alone could never defeat that monster.
-The magic is ready.
“Do you use it properly?”
-Oh? Are you scared to see it yourself?
“Either you stand in front of that monster yourself.”
-Okay, just draw attention properly.
Rex stopped her army and was wary of the Beast King approaching her alone.
“Where’s Ellie?”
“Well?”
“If you don’t tell me, today you will die.”
“Let’s try. Instead, the princess won’t be saved?”
The Beast King frowned sternly at Rex’s answer and began emitting more red mana.
“Then I will kill you and find it myself.”
“Kuh?!”
Kwaang-!!!!
The Beast King swung his fist at Rex at great speed, and Rex narrowly blocked the Beast King’s fist with Dyne Slay.
At the same time, the ground around the Beastman King and Rex stepped on was shattered like cookies, creating a huge dust storm.
“Dineslepe!!”
“Hmm?”
Rex started injecting mana into Dainsleif, who blocked the Beast King’s fist.
The demonic sword Dainsleif had the effect of stealing the physical strength of the opponent it touched.
Once the Beast King saw his stamina slowly decrease, he pushed Rex away as if chasing an insect.
“Keuugh?! When will it be!”
-Take care a little more.
“No, it’s hard to block even one shot!”
-I know, so stop whining.
“Ah… You’re really messing around.”
Rex held Dyne Sleif with both hands and was wary of the Beast King.
“Let’s do it properly this time.”
The Beast King compressed red mana dozens of times in his fists and shouted at Rex.
“Black Demon!”
Rex quickly judged that that attack would be difficult to block, and converted his body into a black cloud to evade the Beast King’s fist.
Instead, the demon army standing behind Rex took damage from the fist. The number of demons who turned to dust with a single blow from the Beast King’s fist was about 100.
“100 Per punch? Damn it…”
Even Rex can kill 100 beastmen soldiers with one attack. However, it was close to impossible to inflict such damage with just a light punch like the Beast King.
“Where are you digging your eyes!”
“Dokkaebi fire!”
Rex felt a sense of danger from the Beast King’s continued punching, and summoned a blue flame and threw it at the Beast King’s face.
Puong-!
“Is this enough?”
However, there was no damage to the king of beasts even though his goblin’s fire hit him squarely in the head.
Rex thought that even if goblin fire was weak magic, this was too much.
-Good work. There’s a gap just in time

At that time, a magic circle condensed with enormous mana appeared under the beast king’s feet with the sound of a woman’s telepathy.
“This?!”
The beast king panicked for the first time and tried to escape from the magic circle, but it was difficult for him to avoid the already prepared magic.
“Haa… That’s really hard.”
At the same time that the Beast King was struck by the magic circle, a beautiful woman appeared from Rex’s shadow.
Beautiful red long hair that evokes a feeling of burning, ruby-like red eyes, and a highly exposed outfit with bat wings above the waist.
The woman’s appearance was that of a perfect succubus.
“Keuugh… I can’t believe it… A phantasmagoric corps commander…!”
“Answer. Lilith.”
Lilith greeted the Beast King with an alluring smile.
“What have you done to me!”
“It’s just a simple curse… It’s a curse Veronica told me about, so my stats will be cut in half for a while.”
The Beast King swung his fist at Lilith.
However, the attack was easily blocked by Rex who appeared in an instant.
“Whoa…It’s a bit lighter now.”
“You have to deal with it quickly. The Beast King has high magic resistance, so the curse will be lifted soon.”
“It’s not that simple.”
Rex pushed the Beast King whose stats were cut in half with Dynesleipe. At the same time, Lilith activated her magic and attacked the Beast King.
“Curse of Pain, Curse of Fire, Curse of Paralysis, Curse of Death, Curse of Darkness, Curse of Exhaustion…”
Lilith is a succubus queen who specializes in curses, and curses that even the Beast King can’t easily overcome are thrown at random.
Judging that it would be dangerous if Lilith continued to use the curse, the beastman king aimed for Lilith, but each time he was blocked by Rex and failed.
“Hey, the army is moving over there?”
At that moment, the beast army, sensing the danger of the beast king, began to move.
At the same time, the demon army started moving along with the beast army.
However, the steps of the two armies were forcibly stopped by an orange flame that suddenly appeared from the sky.
Roaring!
“What is this?”
“Sheesh, that’s annoying.”
Lilith and Rex easily extinguished the orange flames that came down from the sky, but the demon army behind them was not.
“aaah!!”
“Rex!! Help me!!”
“aaah!!!”
Most of the demonic soldiers approaching from the front were burned by the flames.
Seeing that, Rex clicked his tongue.
“What kind of bastard are you?”
At the same time, Rex looked annoyed at the source of the flames, the sky.
Then there…
“Are you a crazy succubus?”
There was a Gaon who was amazed at Lilith.
