Great Champion
Leon, Zeke, Ailee, and the wizards of Veritas were prepared and marched to the Demon King of Harvest, but they saw only a ghost town.
A city where traces of human habitation remain, but no one lives there anymore.
While Leon subdues the Demon King of Harvest and Berseria, the adversary of truth, who was waiting to defeat Leon with him, was subdued by Leon, the demon immediately tried to contact the Demon King of Harvest and ordered a retreat. will be.
blood-free.
It was a disappointing result for the wizards who were preparing to die, but looking back, it also meant that the demons were that much afraid of Leon.
Because it meant that he recognized Leon’s strength to such an extent that the demon gods, the leaders of the Demon Realm, where strength is the only value, decided to retreat unconditionally.
“But if you thought I would be satisfied with this, you would be wrong.”
Leon deployed 10 Titans and 10,000 wizards out of the 50,000 wizards who had led this battle to occupy the Demon King’s Castle and continued the march as it was.
There were many cities inhabited by demons even near the Demon King’s Castle, and Leon took this opportunity to reclaim the southern tip of the Radiant Continent as a human realm.
Countless monsters were blocking the way.
It seemed that all dungeons that could be mobilized urgently were broken out to buy time for the demons to escape, but
“Astrafe.”
Those countless monsters were simply arranged in the line of Zeus, a titan equipped with a divine spear.
As far as the line of sight could reach, the monsters that filled the horizon had disappeared without a trace in front of the spear of the dazzling lightning that Zeus emitted.
Thanks to this, Zeus had to take turns taking turns, but in other words, it was possible to quickly clear obstacles by limiting the functions of a few Zeus for 5 minutes.
As the forced march was repeated, the evacuation of demons continued in the city where we first arrived.
The dimensional rift leading to the demon realm had opened, and countless demons were pushing each other back to the demon realm.
Feeling disgusted at the sight of the beanworms hiding under the rocks and scurrying away in search of darkness, Leon poured magic on them.
“Atomic Burst Blade.”
It is the sword of the sun.
However, it is different from the sword of the sun that has been unfolded so far.
Nuclear fusion unfolded in the realm of four-dimensional space-time.
It was an infinite energy that surpassed the sun.
Beyond causality and even the passage of time, the injuries sustained by exposure to this sun cannot be healed forever.
The bright sword fell and devastated the city, and Leon threw it into a dimensional rift that had not yet been properly closed.
I don’t know where beyond that rift, but if it were a city where demons lived, that city would also be devastated and suffered irreparable damage.
Leon did not have to cross the dimensional rift directly.
Even though Leon had recovered some of his mental power as he had been marching up to this point, it was still not in perfect condition.
If you want to annihilate the demons who are running away with the last words, and if the remaining demon lords come together and attack at once after chasing you to the depths, no matter how much Leon, it is bound to be a little burdensome.
For the demons of today, even if they used such an extreme strategy, there was nothing strange about it.
“Come on, next.”
Leon later confirmed that the dimensional rift was closing, leaving the city and demons that had become ashes behind and headed to the next city.
In a week like that, Leon was able to drive out all the demons from the southern tip of the Radiant Continent.
And it was only then that Leon remembered.
“Oh right.”
Berseria, who had the power of nightmares and left it unattended.
Leon had completely forgotten about her for the past week.
“If something went wrong, my soul would have been destroyed.”
When Berseria succeeded in entering the Demon Castle of Harvest without blood, she left it there.
Leon immediately opened the portal and headed to the Demon King of Harvest to find Berseria.
[Please consider o········!]
Leon could see Berseria rubbing the floor with tears in her eyes.
[Do whatever you ask. I don’t want to die. Please, please buy it.]
Fortunately, Berseria’s soul was made strong.
It was a demon made up of the spirits of a demon, so how difficult would it be?
However, the pain was so severe that Berseria had no intention of resisting Leon any longer.
Before releasing the nightmare’s powers, Leon used his magic once more.
“Edition rules.”
Berseria cannot harm creatures without Leon’s permission.
Although she was not able to confront Leon due to the rules already added, she did everything she could to think of the possibility of taking the people around her hostage.
Of course it was raining.
When Leon released the power of the nightmare, Berseria continued to speed up and crawled back and hung on Leon’s legs.
[thank you. thank you! I will never resist you again. Until the day my life ends, I am yours.]
After that, he didn’t even make it happen, but he put his mouth on Leon’s boots several times and kissed him.
I heard that there is a kiss on the back of a hand when swearing allegiance as one of the demon cultures, but Berseria went one step further and kissed Leon’s foot.
“Do you have a name?”
[The enemy of the truth…, no, there is none. disappeared.]
“Then, for convenience, I will call you Berseria from now on.”
[thank you. Thank you, Master!]
I don’t know what she was so grateful for, but Berseria shouted, banging her head on the floor.
Apparently, the power of nightmares was painfully painful.
With the power of a nightmare, I cast a time-fold that made a week feel like a year, and in the torture of shredding my whole body, I applied a burst of space-time leap magic, and every second I cast a magic that repeats a year from the beginning. That is.
Leon looked at her and spread out his hand to cast creation magic.
It was a prayer magic that borrowed the power of the Earth God Kateriel to create a maid outfit with the same design as Veronica wore.
“From now on, you will live as my maid.”
[thank you. I will give my life to give my allegiance.]
Berseria took off the clothes she was wearing, unaware of her shame even in front of Leon, and immediately changed into a maid outfit.
Leon confirmed it and stretched out his hand again.
Berseria hesitated and retreated, terrified of knowing that she might have used the power of nightmares again.
“As long as you decide to follow me, I have no intention of causing you any more pain. Only because of the souls you have absorbed are my disciple’s companions, so I intend to separate them.”
[That, like that. sorry. I’m really sorry!]
Berseria fell flat on her stomach and banged her head on the floor so hard that her forehead bled.
“stop it. The Demon Castle will fall.”
Not an exaggeration, Berseria is a being with a body stronger than the Demon Lord.
If it bumped hard enough to bleed on its forehead, it was a structure as soft as a sand castle in front of waves like the Demon King.
If Leon had not strengthened the Demon Castle with magic in that brief moment, the building could have really collapsed.
[I don’t know the subject, and my disciple’s colleague… If the master wishes, I will give my soul as much as I want.]
Saying that, Berseria lifted her upper body from a kneeling position and loosened her chest.
Since Berseria’s soul is stored in the magic stone in her heart, it seems that it was an act of taking care in her own way so that the maid’s clothes she changed into were not torn.
“What are you? Don’t you have any shame? Are all demons like this?”
[no! no! Shame! Now, I think it’s embarrassing that I dare to oppose my master!]
But Berseria exclaimed with her chest open like a full-fledged soldier.
At least now, Berseria seemed to have a stronger instinct to live than her pride as a woman.
At that, Leon shook his head and stretched out his hand.
“It’s done.”
[···Yes?]
“I have extracted all the souls I want. So, stop washing your clothes.”
[Ha, but, yes? so fast? I didn’t even feel the sense of separation of the soul…]
She even tried to sweep her chest, but her pale skin didn’t even leave a scratch.
3D beings can see the insides of 2D beings.
Similarly, for a 4D being, a 3D being could look into the opponent in the 4D space-time direction, including up, down, front, back, left, and right, so he was able to touch the magic stone without damaging Berseria’s body.
In addition to that, Leon’s transcendental proficiency in handling souls was added to make Berseria, who was expecting terrible pain, bewildered.
“You said As long as you decide to follow me, I have no intention of causing any more pain.”
[master······!]
At those words, Berseria put on a shocked expression.
Because Berseria knew better than anyone else in the world how transcendental level of magic Leon showed now.
It was literally the sound of spreading magic that reached the realm of the gods to relieve their pain.
Although it was a task to separate the soul fragments from Berseria from the beginning, Berseria was feeling truly grateful that he had done such a hard work for himself.
Is it some sort of Stockholm Syndrome?
It was a kind of instinctive survival strategy to survive by thoroughly obeying the absolute who has the right to escape from life or death.
Of course, as Leon, it was not intentional at all, so he had no choice but to feel repulsed by Berseria’s heterogeneous reaction.
“For now, be quiet. Your job as a maid will be taught to you by your senior, Veronica, whom you will meet later.”
In fact, Leon had already suggested that Veronica retire from her position as a maid, but Veronica insisted that she should take the position of Leon’s direct maid, and the relationship was maintained.
Therefore, Veronica was using the title ‘Master’ in public places and ‘Leon-sama’ only when there were only the two of them in private.
The reason Leon dared to hire Berseria as a maid was also because he wanted to inherit Veronica’s role and make Veronica completely independent from her position as a maid.
Leon started working on the Spirit Stone right away to wait for Zeke’s return.
Unlike Ailee’s case, this time the original soul remained intact, so it was not difficult to craft the spirit stone.
However, even a single mistake was not tolerated because he was using his own soul as it is.
[Is the match rate 100%?]
“Whoa….”
Fortunately, I was able to finish the crafting of the Spirit Stone without any problems.
“Master!”
When Zeke returned just in time, Leon immediately called him to sit.
“From now on, I will engrave a spirit on your body artifact.”
“If it’s a spirit…”
“okay. your colleagues. The crafting of their spirit stone is finished.”
And Zeke took the jewel that Leon was handed over and wrapped it around it very preciously.
“If a spirit exists as a spirit, there will be no problem if you just make a socket and plug it into your body as it is, but if an urgent situation arises, they will try to protect you even by consuming their spirit stones, right?”
“It would be. In fact, the reason they were sacrificed was to save me.”
“So, after engraving the Encrypted Manastone Recharge Magic Circle on your body artifact, you will install the Spirit Stone. Then no matter how much power you consume, you will be able to recover your magic.”
In other words, it meant semi-permanent immortality.
As long as the spirit stone and the body artifact the spirit stone is installed on are not destroyed, their souls will never die.
At Leon’s explanation, Zeke was worried.
“Then what if after I die…?”
“Hmm, if you fall into the wrong hands, you might be used as a spirit. Of course, they also have their own will, so absolutely obeying the owner’s orders, the same thing won’t happen.”
However, if you threaten to destroy the Spirit Stone, you may have no choice but to follow the order.
If the opponent is weaker than himself, he can defeat the threater with his spirit ability, but he needs absolute guarantees.
It is a guarantee that there will be no danger to the spirits of those women who have become spirits.
“don’t worry. Even if you die at the end of your life someday, I will surely retrieve the Spirit Stone and guarantee their freedom.”
“But, Master, someday…”
“no. i don’t die forgot? I am a newcomer It is said that the Seven Lords drank the alcohol of the divine authority and obtained eternal life. So, don’t worry about unnecessary things and worry about what you’re going to do next.”
“From now on, La Nyo……?”
“It’s in the form of a spirit, but you have recovered your companions. How long are you going to be satisfied as my disciple? Shouldn’t you be able to resume your activities as a warrior again or go on a journey to find the life you want?”
“Master…”
The first condition for Zeke to become Leon’s disciple was that he would faithfully follow Leon’s orders.
But Leon had allowed Zeke to find his way and leave.

Jik replied with a bitter smile.
“The hero is going to give up.”
At the time when he first claimed himself to be Leon’s disciple, it was as if he had half-abandoned his position as a hero.
A hero is a being who receives orders from the gods and carries out a mission to defeat the demon king, and putting a commander on top of a hero is an act contrary to that.
More than anything else, Zeke felt it desperately.
“The position of a warrior is more suitable for the Master than for me.”
“What did you say. I don’t even want a place like that.”
“But all the demon lords that have been subjugated so far have fallen at the hands of Master.”
That’s it.
“If other demon lords disturb the peace of the human world, won’t Master come forward and subdue them?”
That’s right too.
“Then, Master, you are already a great warrior.”
Leon tried to refute Zeke’s claim, but his mouth never fell.
In the end, Leon only smiled a little with a deep sigh.
