Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 221

“Wow, it’s done brilliantly.”

Angelica admired the corpses of monsters spread out in front of the portal.

“Because it’s Freely. Monsters like this wouldn’t even be a match.”

The ones that stand out right now are the lower-class monsters such as lizardmen and kobolds.

Among them, high-ranking monsters such as one-eyed giants and cyclops were occasionally seen, but even they were dead with their eyeballs dug out.

“Ah, I can do this much.”

Angelica waved her hand as if it wasn’t a big deal.

It was absurd to see a nobleman called the Four Heavenly Kings joking around saying that he could only catch some low-level monsters.

“If you can’t catch it, you have to beat the Four Heavenly Kings.”

“Eh? You talk too harshly.”

“Okay, where are you? Where do I have to go to meet the Demon King?”

“Wait.”

Angelica spread her wings and soared into the sky to look around. What she found after that, she said as she came downstairs.

“This is a food den.”

“A food burrow?”

“yes. As you can see, the demon realm is barren unlike the outside, right? There are very few crops that can be grown artificially. So I always run out of food.”

I looked away from the corpses to my surroundings.

Below the canyon where we and the corpses coexist.

On the walls of the canyon, there were caves that seemed to be the residences of demons.

“So… this is a place where edible monsters are kept and raised, right?”

“yes that’s right. It is a place where demons who have become weak because they cannot eat well live. At least if you say they can fight, they’re the ones who keep this place, right?”

“So, what do you want to say?”

“A place where you have to be strong to survive. that’s magic There are high-level monsters out there, and there are many more. It was only here that I was lucky enough to meet and slaughter weak monsters, but the outside will be different. If you meet real monsters, will you be busy running away at the level of those humans?”

Angelica giggled.

He banged her head, making an ominous sound.

“Ouch!”

“Stop talking nonsense and guide me straight.”

“Chi. I know. Follow me.”

Angelica flew into the sky and began to move east. Haley also spread her wings and followed after him.

Without wings, I couldn’t help but sigh.

“The years without consideration.”

* * *

Did you say that Frillite and the party would have to struggle outside the food den?

In conclusion, that statement is wrong.

“Ugh… it’s all broken.”

We got out of the food burrow and headed east to reach the Red Tree Forest.

As the name suggests, the Red Tree Forest was made up of trees that were reddish not only in leaves, but also in trunks and columns.

It is said that he changed because of exposure to dark magic for a long time. Is it because there are so many monsters and harshness in the forest?

Hearing Angelica’s story, he prepared to be attacked and entered the forest, but…

What we came to witness was not the monsters that were drooling and attacking without knowing back and forth, but the monsters that were already behind.

I glanced at Angelica.

“Are you going to be busy running away?”

“Uh, uh…? That’s weird. Did the magic of the forest fade while I was away..?”

Angelica scratched her cheek shyly.

She called her attention with a cough and fixed her speech.

“Well, the next place we go will be different. Do you know the Four Heavenly Kings Creas? The enemy sea where he reigned as king is quite difficult. Because of the filthy large seafood, even the flying monsters will be eaten right away if they are careless. They are wingless humans, not to mention!”

The red sea was full of floating seawater.

“Hey, what is this…”

“What are you surprised about? I just looked at it and it was destroyed by electricity. Quickly guide me to the next place.”

“Everyone, the next one will be really different, right?”

Angelica’s words never came true. This is because wherever she went while ranting, a cold demonic corpse greeted us.

Thanks to this, she, who was trying to feel the magic mulberry, rather lost her confidence and drooped her shoulders.

Especially when a giant monster I ran into by chance saw me and ran away, the empty expression she put on was something I would never forget for the rest of my life.

To be honest, I was quite surprised too.

What the hell did the demons run away from when they see humans?

‘I didn’t know I was going to get through this well.’

I must admit

Not as much as Angelica, but I was underestimating their capabilities.

“Come on.”

Angelica and Haley flew, and I crossed the enemy sea by stepping on the beasts.

“Now we are almost there. After passing through the temple, the Demon King’s Castle appears.”

“Temple? Do demons also believe in gods?”

“yes. Although not Iries. That goddess only blesses the existence of the continent, right? So we trust Rebeus. At least he doesn’t discriminate.”

“Yeah, it’s the same guy…”

“yes?”

“Nope.”

Arguing with a believer is annoying.

You have to try to persuade him, because he shows a baseless belief that the god he worships is different.

I walked quickly before anything bothering me, and two days later we arrived at a place called the temple.

“Angelica. Does such a strong barrier exist in the temple?”

The temple was covered with a translucent purple barrier. The energy emanating from there was strong, so even though he was far away from the temple, he was able to realize that the barrier that covered it was formidable.

“It can’t be. If covered with such a barrier, who enters the temple?”

“It’s a different story than usual.”

As soon as the temple came out, I was going to pass it by, but things started to get weird.

“Master, I can feel the energy of humans over there, aren’t those the humans you were looking for?”

Angelica pointed to small dots like ants in front of the huge barrier. When I narrowed my eyes and looked closely, I saw that the barracks were lined up.

The knights in platinum armor that went back and forth between the barracks.

“Looks right.”

frillite.

Fortunately, I found it before entering the Demon Castle.

“You are waiting here. If you follow me and get misunderstood, I get annoyed.”

Leaving Angelica and Haley behind, they headed to the Platinum Knights’ barracks. As I accelerated slightly and ran, the distance between the barracks and the barracks became closer in an instant.

When the knights saw me running, their faces hardened and they pulled out their swords.

I guess he didn’t recognize me because he ran so fast.

I stopped running and straightened my messy hair.

“Red hair…? Are you a cloud warrior by any chance?”

Said someone from the Platinum Knights.

When they nodded their heads, the faces of the knights, who were full of hostility, opened wide.

“I’m sorry I didn’t know the hero and was rude. I’ll take you straight to the captain’s barracks.”

I narrowed my brow.

Instead of letting the guests who have crossed the demon realm rest, they take them straight to the headmaster?

Reading the fatigue and fear on the faces of the knights, I realized.

“What do you think happened?”

The knight who was going to take me to the manager flinched and then bowed his head as if he had nothing to do with it.

He patted me on the shoulder because it looked pretty sad.

“It’s a hero who has to deal with that kind of thing. straighten your face Is frillite inside?”

“…”

The knight’s complexion darkened.

It made my face harden.

“Answer me. Are you in the frillite?”

“…the manager will explain everything. Please follow me.”

* * *

“…Captain, I’ll try to figure out if I’ve understood correctly, so please tell me if I’m wrong.”

“First, the expedition went around the Demon Realm to find the Demon King and found this temple a while ago.”

“Since it was a temple marked with the evil god Lebeus, we decided that the remnants of the cult might be hiding, so we rushed in to exterminate them, and there we encountered a knight.”

“The enemy was strong, but somehow defeated it without much sacrifice.”

“But the problem came after that. An anomaly occurred in which some knights fell, and Frilite was also in pain, and suddenly shouted to leave the temple immediately. And not long after she shouted, fellow knights who had fallen got up and started attacking.”

“I thought it was the evil power of the servant of the evil god and poured out the priests’ holy power, but the brainwashing didn’t work out, and I had no choice but to get out of the temple because I couldn’t harm my comrades.”

“As soon as all the knights left, a barrier was placed on the temple, and it appears that the barrier was created by Frilite.”

“Is that correct?”

“…you’re right.”

Seeing the knight leader nodded, I sighed heavily.

“I’ll be back, really.”

And then he got up.

“Get all the knights ready to go. As soon as we’re ready, we’ll move on.”

“Do you have a way?”

“I have a guess.”

“…I will prepare to rush right away.”

The knight leader left the barracks with a determined expression on his face. After he left, I took out the ring I had in my pocket.

A splendid golden ring that shines brilliantly.

It is the ring of the King of Knights obtained by dedicating the black, white, red, and blue rings of an unknown knight.

“I wanted to give it as good as possible.”

Swallowing a bitter smile, he put the ring back into his arms.
