Episode 45.
The demon species, said to be the strongest among the demons told in the story, appeared right in front of your eyes.
“It’s a big deal.”
I had no experience of fighting demons. Except for Sister Millia, who was almost possessed by demons.
Even during this panic, the devil came out more and more.
Although only the upper half of the body is still visible, it is definitely bigger than an ogre.
“Sir Deor, Patrick! Take everyone and get out of here!”
It is impossible to fight while defending. I’d rather fight alone.
The investigation team retreated hastily at my words, but even that is not easy.
Because the enemy was obstructing the retreat.
The red-haired man laughed madly.
“hahahaha, it’s useless to run away!”
“If a human summons a demon, do you think the demon will follow your thoughts!”
“If you don’t follow me, I can just run away.”
It just feels nasty. Fortunately, the investigation team succeeded in retreating near the exit.
“…”
During that time, the demon fully manifested itself.
The appearance of a livestock that seems to walk on two legs and two arms. It was as told in the story.
“$%^$^@^!”
The demon was saying something, but I couldn’t understand it.
An eerie aura filled the space. Apparently, the source of that energy was the devil over there.
“There are some guys I don’t like.”
The devil spit out human words. Did you know how to speak human words?
“go away!”
The demon muttered something, and the ghastly energy gathered and then quickly dissipated.
And one of the energy poured into me.
I hurriedly dodge the energy.
“are you okay?”
I hurriedly turned around to check the investigation team. There was no damage.
The moment I looked at the front again, I couldn’t hide my bewilderment at the horrors unfolding in front of me.
“Are all the enemies dead?”
The heads of the enemies they were confronting were all gone.
The devil’s actions did not make sense.
The red-haired man was also nowhere to be seen.
“Hmm, the two of them survived.”
From nob le mt l. co m
No, considering the investigation team, there are far more than two people. But did the two of them live?
It seems that what they were aiming for was me, the enemies, and the man with red hair.
“Why are you attacking allies?”
From my point of view, I thought that demons and enemies were on the same side.
But the devil seemed to think differently.
“Ah…? That’s funny. Since when have humans been allies? Those with annoying powers who invaded the demon realm.”
It’s an annoying force. It was clear that I was referring to the special powers I had.
One thing has become certain.
“Come to think of it… the power you have… something is familiar.”
It was clear that he had at least met the owner of the exorcism sword.
“That black hair is also familiar. Are you a descendant of him? No, there can be no descendant.”
“I received that person’s power.”
The devil’s expression wrinkled as if he had suddenly heard an unpleasant sound.
“You said you received that power…? Then I can’t save you.”
Again, an eerie aura came flying over me.
I approached the demon avoiding the creepy aura.
Then the devil smiled and took out a large sword from his waist.
“It’s close combat. I like close combat too.”
And then the devil slashed his sword at me.
A demon wielding a sword bigger than my body.
They collided their swords while using telekinesis.
“Ugh…”
It was so strong that I couldn’t stand it.
“hahahahaha, that power is far less than the previous owner.”
I turned and dodged. Then he shouted at the investigation team standing awkwardly.
“What are you doing, retreat quickly!”
Then the investigation team hurriedly fled. Now only the devil and me are left.
A red-haired man suddenly appeared next to the devil.
“You unknown demon, please listen to me for a moment!”
“…lucky that the one I missed is back.”
The demon swung a sword at the red-haired man.
But the red-haired man who avoids lightly.
“He’s like a fly.”
“Asmodian, I am not your enemy. It was I who called you.”
Then, it was the devil who looked at the red-haired man with interest.
“I’m late to introduce myself, but my name is Otris. As you can see, it has the ability to teleport.”
“So why did you call me? Is that a human aristocrat?”
“hahahaha, I am not an aristocrat now. That is why I called you.”
The demon started laughing maniacally.
“hahahahaha, did you end up being betrayed by a human! After all, humans are evil beings.”
“you’re right. Please help me to bring those evil humans down.”
“What are you asking me for help with?”
“Bring chaos to the human world!”
The devil nodded as if he liked it.
“It’s chaos, so good. But I have something to tell you.”
“yes···? which···?”
“Originally, what I was trying to give was chaos, but because you said it, it seems like I have to listen to you for some reason. Just like I am your limb.”
“No, absolutely not like that…”
Otris, who had been denying it by waving her hands, exploded.
“Heh, did you think I would save the descendant of the guy who invaded the demon realm?”
And there was a demon glaring at me.
I decided it was impossible to run away from that demon. It was an opponent who had to fight with all his might.
“You never know.”
Prior to the return, I had never heard of demons appearing.
Is it really the story that Otris persuaded that demon before returning?
It wouldn’t have been.
‘Still, I still have the exorcist sword left.’
It was a sword that allowed the upper hand in the fight against the demons.
I telekinetically wound the thread around the sword. And I spread the thread as far as I could to block the eerie energy that was wafting over me.
“Oh, that sword is also the owner of the former power. It reminds me of old memories.”
keeps bothering me He spoke as if he were a master of the upper row than the previous owner.
If it’s real…
‘It must be dangerous.’
“The wounds he inflicted are still throbbing.”
On the devil’s chest, a large cross of wounds was engraved.
“I’ll draw another line on that wound.”
“Oh, you have quite a bit of spirit.”
The devil came running at me and swung his sword.
visor!
hit the sword Thanks to the winding thread, I was able to receive it more easily than before.
“It’s quite good. It’s not just words.”
Even when the devil spoke to me, I couldn’t answer.
I was busy trying to drive away the creeping energy that was rushing in.
“The owner was just like you now.”
“…”
“In the end, you stayed alone to deal with us.”
I recalled a dream I had during my academy days. A man who blocks the black shapes alone.
Thinking about it made me feel more at ease.
That means I have a chance too.
I bumped into the devil with all my might.
Several sword clashes.
That alone took the strength out of my hands.
“He must have been a hero to you guys.”
“…”
“But in the end, he also lost to us. You will be the same.”
From nob le mt l. co m
No, the man did not lose.
He just left his work for later. The man should have played a sufficient role.
Suddenly, the devil’s face came into view.
Contrary to his relaxed tone, he seemed to be hiding something.
“You… are getting weak.”
I realized that the bloody aura that the demon exuded was gradually diminishing.
A demon who makes fun of my words.
“Heh, it’s your misunderstanding.”
“It’s an illusion…”
I thought it was easier to receive the demon’s sword attack because I wrapped the thread.
From nob le mt l. co m
No, the demon was getting weaker and weaker.
Apparently, before returning, the demon killed everyone and gradually lost its power, eventually returning to the Demon Realm or disappearing.
“Heh, it looks like you can’t afford it anymore?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Now, the devil is having a hard time with my sword. The threads scattered around were gradually narrowing to the devil.
A demon with a displeased expression.
“Tch, you useless bastards. It must have put restrictions on summoning me.”
There was a reason why the red-haired man came back. It was probably because there was a restriction placed on that demon.
I didn’t expect to die in vain like this.
“… it won’t be any more difficult.”
“Are you thinking of running away!”
A huge portal appeared behind the devil’s back. Clearly, that place must have been the Demon Realm.
A place where ominous energy gathers to make you goosebumps.
I was in a hurry.
“The portal has already been opened. I’ll have to get rid of you and go back.”
“You think you can get away with me!”
I swung my sword at the demon more violently than before.
Maybe it was because he opened the portal with his remaining strength, but the demon was getting weaker.
Prepared a secret attack by attacking the devil. I was thinking of ending it in one shot.
“Gathering mana in one place… You’ve created something new again.”
I pierced the demon’s defenses with my big sword and thrust the sword into my chest.
The devil was hit by my big shot and pushed back. An additional X-shaped scar was formed on the chest.
angry demon.
“Aagh! I can’t forgive you guys for hurting me!”
I nervously pointed my sword at the demon again.
Because I felt an unusual energy.
But it was different from what I thought.
“Let’s see!”
It was the moment when the devil was about to be sucked into the portal.
I had a smile on my face. The devil confirmed my smile and made an expression that he didn’t understand.
And I made sure the demon was shattered.
“What if I left the portal open like that?”
I tightened the thread from the exorcist sword in front of the portal.
It was a trap for a demon who didn’t know when to run away.
And he caught the devil beautifully.
“It’s just a little disappointing.”
The demon’s corpse was shattered and sucked into the portal.
It turned out that there were no corpses left.
“No, are you happy?”
From nob le mt l. co m
No one will believe that I defeated a demon without leaving a corpse behind.
After holding on for a while, it would be enough to say that the devil returned by itself.
I walked out with a tired body.
What greeted me outside the cave were terrified and armed members of the investigation team.
“What happened to the demons?”
Sir Deor seemed nervous.
I smiled. Like you don’t have to worry.
“The devil’s power gradually weakened and he fled to the demon realm.”
“Is that true?”
“Really.”
At my words, all the members of the investigation team collapsed on the spot.
Patrick came over to me and examined my body.
“You confronted the devil, but you look pretty good. After all, Master.”
“It’s okay, what’s okay? I’m going to die hard.”
My head hurt, and my whole body ached.
That’s how strong the devil was.
If the devil’s power had been maintained as it was at the beginning, he wouldn’t have survived like this.
‘Should I be thankful?’
Red-haired Otris. He lived because he put restrictions on him when he summoned the devil.
However, one concern arose.
If that demon had accepted Otris’ proposal…
‘How did that organization intend to use the demons?’
Fortunately, it was only fortunate that the demon did not like being manipulated by humans.
