Tyrant (2)
The morning of the second day of a honey-like short vacation.
I got up and watched the winter fox running wild.
Persia, who woke up earlier than the others, was running around the bedroom, waving her pure white hair.
“Sir, wake up! It’s morning! It’s morning! Time to go home!”
“This damn fox…”
The guy caught by the angry Medusha went back to his scarf, holding his snout.
As soon as last night’s midnight, Laurie, who took a shift with Ethel, seems to hate waking up and goes back into the futon.
Short-term vacation has just begun, but I can’t sleep over.
In the morning, while weak Elena shows a dreamy appearance. The waitress came in with the door wide open and drove everyone out of bed.
“Come on, get ready. If it’s late, I’ll leave you alone.”
“Really? Oh, no… I’ll just go.”
Medusha, who was attracted to threats rather than threats, received the maid’s glance and quietly headed to the bathroom.
There are many students who remain in the capital during the short vacation, which was originally only about two weeks, but…
This is, of course, an exception.
I am not the heir of the lord, but the body that is the lord itself.
And it is clearly a sin for a lord to empty the manor for a long time.
Therefore, the handmaiden decided to return home, ignoring all objections.
Since today is the second day of short vacation, the train station must be relatively spacious… We leave early in the morning.
Sylvia took the unicorn out of the book and equipped it with a harness to exercise the unicorn after a while.
However, the guy who stretched out pleasantly looks at his owner and tilts his head.
“Purreung? Kreuk…”
“what?”
“Sylvia. Hurry up.”
Sylvia, who was boarding the carriage, said a word to Sylvia and threw herself into the driver’s seat.
The unicorn, who was saved thanks to it, heads to the train station with a small tantrum.
Now, feeling the familiar gaze, they board the special cabin and take their seats in the carriage as they have been pre-determined.
To be honest, it’s a bit annoying, but Persia jumps from seat to seat to see what’s so good.
Medusha, on the other hand, leaned against me as if sleep deprived and fell asleep quickly.
While we were discussing our schedule in the estate with the maid across the street, a snack truck passing through the hallway arrived.
Persia jumped right in.
“Master, with those candy and drinks…”
“Okay, so calm down.”
As soon as he was greeted by a salesman whose face had grown accustomed to it, the capital quickly moved away.
What must have happened while I was away?
How long has it been since you gave yourself up to the vibrations of the train, suffering from such anxiety again?
After the expansive golden wheat fields were over, small mountains and hills began to appear sporadically.
The border that separates the prosperous capital from the Count of El Cloud.
Unlike the fertile farmland near the capital, the land from here is of little use.
Aside from the lack of special products… I’m weak in intelligence, so even if I farmed, I could barely get it right.
Until a year ago, green tea, which was in charge of our family’s finances, was able to grow thanks to the power of the maid.
I was once again thinking about the jobs of Youngji people.
From midday on the far side of the mountain, something flashed.
“yes?”
“Master, why are you like this…”
The maidservant who follows my gaze and hardens her face in the same way.
An unidentified light source that caught his eye was rapidly expanding.
The next moment, I crouched down, grabbing the seat next to me.
“Everyone be careful!”
“Ah?”
Paang!
The green arrows, which had been lashing out without hesitation, barely dispersed before they reached the special room.
This train transported many middle-class and aristocrats.
Of course, there is a degree of protection spell at stake.
Until a few decades ago, there were frequent train robberies, so a countermeasure was developed.
Due to its size, it can easily deflect attacks from S-rank pets, but…
The previous attack completely blew the protective spell on the train.
Even after breaking through the barrier, the power remained, and the vehicle shook violently.
If the attack had been a little stronger, the train might have overturned.
“What, what!”
Medusha woke up hastily in the shaking car and opened her eyes… but to no avail.
The previous attack flew from a very far distance.
The petrification gaze has a short range for the skill of an SS-ranked pet.
Laurie and Sylvia rush to this side even while the entire room is shaking.
Fortunately, it seems that there were no injuries in the room they were in.
As I hurriedly got out of the maid’s arms and looked out the window, I saw a second arrow flashing.
“Wait, are you coming again?”
“Don’t worry. I don’t intend to hit you again.”
Medusha, who muttered wildly, smashed the window that had survived the first attack with her bare hands.
It’s a specification that can withstand arrows without a shield, but it can’t stand it because SS-ranked pets hit it deliberately.
The guy who removed the window that was in the way activates a petrified gaze towards the light source.
The sniper couldn’t be dealt with because it was too far away, but the second attack was blocked before reaching this side.
Surprised by the unexpected attack, Persia rushes to me and mutters in a bewildered voice.
“What kind of train robbery in these days…”
“What is the robbery? We aimed precisely at this special room from the start. Not a thief, but an assassin!”
The maid, who quickly made fun of herself and climbed up to the top of the train, put her head down and called Laurie.
“It’s also coming from above. Can you use microburst?”
“Yeah! I’ll go.”
Laurie, who climbed up following the handmaiden, collaborated with Ethel to create a powerful downdraft.
The power of a heavy train shaking violently.
At the same time, the conductor who came to check the status of the special room sighed in relief when he saw us coming out of the hallway.
Elfriede, who was close to me, called out to him coldly.
“Why are you stopping? Hurry up!”
“Oh, I see!”
It is more dangerous if you stop because you are being attacked.
It’s best to get out of this place for now.
As if the maid and Laurie were repulsing the enemies, the noise of battle could be heard from above.
On the side of the train, Medusha continues to block snipers.
“Ugh. How are you going to handle that bastard…”
“It’s too far away.”
“Shall I ride a unicorn?”
“No. Your opponent is at least SS rank. You alone are dangerous.”
Medusha and Laurier are on a train escort mission.
Originally, Sylvia would have to divert from a distance and shoot a sniper… but this time, her opponent is too strong.
I don’t know how many more there will be there in the first place.
If you see them attacking from above, they must have attacked as a group.
Sylvia, who bit her molars tightly as if resentful, is rolling her feet.
The demon king, unable to bear it any longer, came out.
However, he is not specialized in this kind of ultra-long-range warfare.
The attack will reach, but will not knock out the opponent.
“I’m not going.”
“Wait a minute. The Demon Lord also uses a sword, right?”
Persia, who had her hairs all over her body standing upright with her neck wrapped around her, walked on her calf as usual.
Then the Demon King snorted and shook his head.
“It’s not my only talent.”
“Yes? Kuk!”
After finishing his words, for the first time in my life, the Demon King completely escaped my heart.
As he twisted his body, a rippling shadow came out and completely separated.
Until now, I felt like I was just sticking out my face a little… this time, I escaped from my body.
As a result, the power suddenly drained from his body, and his knee hit the floor of the train.
The brain and heart, which had maintained their functions with the power of the Demon King, lose all vitality and slowly stop.
It’s a body that should have been like this before, so I don’t dare complain, but…
The thought of ‘why all of a sudden?’ never leaves my head.
“Wow, what are you doing! Can’t you go back soon?”
“Master. Calm down!”
Naturally, Persia and Medusa were also terrified and condemned him.
Elena and Elfriede hurriedly supported my body and used a life-sustaining spell, but to no avail.
Tying me to this world was something that even the Demon King, the ruler of one world, had to put all his effort into.
If two student-level summoners were going to hang out, why would your father die?
Aside from such a rational idea. The demon king’s sudden action still doesn’t make sense.
Did I do anything to offend him?
Medusha, who had opened his axe-eyed eyes, smiled a little, then stretched out a little and pleaded with him.
“I’ll be back for a while, so take care.”
“No, my heart has stopped right now, but I can’t sleep and protect myself…”
While sympathizing with Medusha, who shouts with full of injustice.
The crying faces of Elfriede and Elena quickly became clear.
At the same time, the heartbeat returns.
Blurred vision and stopped breathing come back completely.
“Uhm? This is…”
“Delayed orders.”
The Demon King, who briefly explained the key points, ran out of the train.
It was only then that I could guess what had happened.
He had applied the delayed spell I had learned at the academy to his own power.
As a student, I can already apply what I can’t handle properly.
Elfriede, who was taking a class with me, also noticed the same thing and sighed happily.
Thanks to this, the Demon King, who had thrown off the restrictions of the country, was able to fully demonstrate his power, even for a short time.
He slaughtered the demons in the sky by lightly swinging the long sword in his right hand and returned to the sphere of dark shadows.
I wondered if it would be a reverse summons all of a sudden… but it’s a little different.
He reconstructed his own body from the inside of the sphere.
“Lerazie. What courage did you suddenly have to face your king!”
It seems that you already know the identity of the opponent. Even before the shadows completely lifted, the demon king shouted loudly.
As well as being willing to step out for a long time… This attack was probably the work of the demons.
It seems that those who were kicked out by Shabnak from the capital took advantage of the opportunity I had on my way home to attack.
The appearance of the demon king that was soon revealed was completely different from usual.
The heavy armor that covered the whole body became much smaller and more agile.
He was also much shorter in height, and the cloak of shadows was cut in several directions.
He even wore a hat he had never seen before.
If his original form was a knight, this time a hunter.
Instead of a long sword or bow, he held a stick bent at right angles in his hand.
Perhaps he adjusted himself to be suitable for ultra-long-range combat.
A green light flashed from afar without getting tired, but when the Demon King aimed an iron stick and pulled a small clasp, a black magic light pierced the arrow.
Ta-ah!
A roar and shock unmatched in size shook the train, which began to accelerate again.
The outcome of the attack is even more speculative.
The mountain where the sniper, presumed to be a demon, was hiding was cut very neatly.
The peak, which was dented by the demon king’s attack, could not bear its weight and caused a landslide.
Immediately after, a much louder collapse than before.
He came back to me without seeing the devastation he had created.
As soon as a black shadow penetrated into my heart, my heartbeat, which had been anxious for a long time, barely stabilized.
“When the hell are you going to have that kind of talent again…”
“I studied with Lewis while you slept in class.”
When Medusha, who seems to have left behind from the sudden action she had just done, grumbles a little, the Demon King replies to it again.
I pretended not to hear anything and shut my mouth quietly.
I’m speaking from the inside of my heart, so I just need to stand still.
Persia, who felt a slightly strange atmosphere, muttered bluntly on my lap.
“But what did the lord of this town do? There was such a big fight, but no application came.”
“That’s right. It’s the lord’s duty to maintain security around here in the first place, isn’t it?”
Persia and Medusha aiming arrows at the lord.
I sighed and responded, clearing the broken glass.
“Kids. This is our jurisdiction…”
“Ah, already?”
“Yeah. The plains from a while ago were under the jurisdiction of the Capital Defense Forces. From here on, it’s the Count of El Cloud.”
In my explanation, the snake god and the fox, who looked at each other for a while, found different political objects.
“Ma-king, what does the demon king do when his servants are committing treason…”
“That’s right! The Demon Lord is wrong!”
“I’m really going to die.”
A Demon King who rarely sharpens teeth inside his heart.
Watching the maid’s smile, I prayed that she would arrive at the train station soon.
