Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

◆ Dark Knight Croki

Fly through the Akeron Mountains in Glorious. There is a large horizontal hole in the slightly steeper part of the mountain.

There's a goblin nest in this hole. Goblins are not nocturnal, but dark. As a result, they often live in caves, etc. so that no light enters.

Drop Glorious at the entrance to the Goblin's residence.

Get down first and drop the couna behind you.

"Croki, is this the kingdom of Karon?

Kuna looks at the horizontal hole and says. I nod to the question.

"I'm sure of it... I've never been here before."

The kingdom of Karon is the kingdom of Goblin on the northern side of the Akelon Mountains, or Nargor.

And it is the kingdom of Goblin under the control of the Modes. This goblin nest is also known as the Kingdom of Karon. I don't know how many goblins there are, but it seems to be the biggest tribe of goblins on Nargor's side.

When I stood at the entrance, five goblins approached me.

The goblin standing in the middle is fascinating to my eyes. Goblins grow only as tall as human children between the ages of 10 and 12. But the middle goblin is larger than the surrounding goblin.

"I've been expecting you, Lord Dihart Gob. My name is Kenyeo, and I'm Gob."

The big goblin in the middle lowers his head to himself.

Gob?

The word of Goblin is often hard to hear, but this Keneo word sounds good. But is it because of the strange words at the end of the phrase?

The big goblin lowered his head and glanced at his side. Of course there is Kuna there.

"And your wife, Gob."

Lower your head to Kuna. Then it seems that the strange tail is not the fault of the mind.

"Wife... I have eyes to see."

Kuna murmurs. Why is that? Kuna seems a little happy.

The queen is waiting for you, Gob.

Keneo guides us.

Guided through Goblin's nest. Only the lantern of the dark leader in the goblin's nest is lit with light bugs. Even if I don't have a light, I can use night vision, but Kuna will be saved.

Walking crosses a lot of goblins.

The Goblins are only the same size as human children between the ages of 10 and 12, but have the same power as human adults. Their heads are as hard as stones and their blades cannot stand with regular weapons. When attacking, we have to target somewhere other than the head. But if you just want to fight, you can sing. Because they don't like beautiful singing.

And in Goblin life, basically, they hide in caves and forests during the day. The level of civilization is almost the same as that of primitives taught in textbooks.

That is the ecology of the goblins taught by Lugas. In fact, the goblins I've seen so far were exactly what they told me.

But the Goblins of the Karon kingdom seem to be different from the ordinary Goblins. Their standard of living is high, and the clothes they wear are no less than the ones they met in the Kingdom of Rocks. The cave walls were not just dug, they were well maintained and flat.

Keneo's equipment is no better than that of a human knight.

Eventually, I'll go to a big place. The room was bright and lit with light bugs everywhere.

There is a giant goblin sitting in the back of the room. I was about the same size as myself, but it seemed very fat and difficult to move. This fat goblin has long hair compared to the baldness of other goblins. And I can feel the magic of this goblin. The magic is strong and doesn't appeal to the Demons.

"Ouch...."

Kuna murmurs. I don't know if this is a goblin, but is this the queen of the kingdom of Karon?

"My lord, this is our queen, Gob the Datier."

Keneo points to a giant goblin. I'm sure this fat goblin is the queen. To be honest, you don't look like a goblin or a woman, but let's not say that.

Welcome to the kingdom of Karon, My Lord Dihart.

Datier lowers his head.

I take my helmet off and hold it by my side. I am a superior, but it would be rude to talk with my helmet on.

"It's Dihart. Looks like there was a problem. What happened?

But Datier looked at us without saying anything. When exposed to that gaze, a cold sweat flows to the spine somehow.

"What does Kuroki say when he's listening and he doesn't answer anything? If it's boring, Kuna won't forgive me!!

Couna casts an aggressive magic spell.

"Hey, Kuna!

I panic.

The Goblins in this room, such as Datier and Keneo, were frightened by Kuna's sword curtain.

For some reason, I don't think I care about Datie.

"I'm sorry, sir."

Datier apologizes.

"No, no. Coona, calm down. What happened?

When I forgive Kuna, I urge Datie.

"Yes, actually. Recently, humans have invaded the Akeron Mountains."

"Eh...."

Datie's words made an unexpected voice. That was important.

"Ma... no way, Raige and the others?

Just in case, a guard, including a nut, should be monitoring the movement. I hear they're going west of the continent now. When did you get here?

"No, sir. It wasn't the Light Warrior who attacked us. It might not be enough to tell you... just in case..."

They called me because it was difficult for them to judge themselves.

If Raige and the others attack, this Karon kingdom will be the first to fight. Last time I resisted, it seems I passed quickly.

At that time, there was no communication network with Nargor, and even if Raige and the others hadn't noticed it for a while, they turned around.

The lesson is that in an emergency, Nargor will be notified with a magic alarm. In addition, even if it is not urgent, I am supposed to be informed when there is an abnormality.

And I didn't use that alarm this time. It is abnormal but it is not urgent.

"At first, some of the tribes on the south began to cross the peak and enter Karon. At first I thought there might have been a dispute between the tribes on the south side... It seemed very different, so I sent the user south."

"So you realized the humans were attacking us?

Datie nods.

"They're not coming over the peak, but they're attacking the southern side of Akelon many times. I don't know what I want to do... Very scary, my lord."

Datier rolls her arms and shakes her body. It was creepy.

And for sure, what is the purpose? Is it simply a Goblin crusade?

"You said it wasn't Raige, do you know who they are?

I don't know if they can tell the difference between humans and goblins, but I'll ask them.

"A good man like the Brave of Light will soon know, my lord. If you attack me again, I beg you not to attack Nargor with my devotion....."

I can't believe what Datier said. The humanoid race in this world somehow forgot that its aesthetic senses are the same as humans.

And I think Raige is pathetic.

"Depending on the investigation, it's a man called Argoa's hero Pulsis who's attacking us. I had a master painter bring me a likeness. You are definitely not a brave man. The pulses seem like a good man, but they're quite inferior to the Light Warrior."

As usual, Datier shook her body creepily.

I think that Datier's words contained a noun that I had heard before.

"Algoa... the country where Rijena was"

Remember in Kuna's words.

Yes, it's the country where Rijena was.

The Kingdom of Argoa must have been ruled by Rijena's father.

Rijena forgot because she didn't talk much about what happened before she came to Nargor.

Why would that Argoan hero attack the Goblins on the southern side of the Argoa Mountains?

You might know by asking Rijena, but she didn't want to hear it. The Rijena family was killed by those who now rule Argoa. Listening might have evoked painful memories.

It is also possible that the hero is involved in the banishment of the Rijena clan. I can't ask about it.

Does Rijena want revenge on them? Rijena won't say anything, and I don't know because she won't listen.

I didn't mean to resent you, but I didn't want to help you get revenge.

I don't know what to do with her. I didn't think it would be okay to keep her in Nargor, the land of monsters, for long. Someday we will have to find a good reception somewhere in the human country.

I think about it.

I can feel my gaze there. Datie looked up at us.

"Anything?

"No, sir, I thought you were just as good a man as the Light Warrior. Ufufufufu"

Datie nods her tongue and laughs. The gaze caught on to me.

Something cold runs on my spine.

"Stop looking at me! Queen of Goblins! Kuroki is Kuna's!!

Kuna is angry at Datier's gaze.

"No, it's okay, Kuna! Ok! I'll take care of that Argoan hero! Let's go, Kuna!

When he forgives Kuna, he leaves this place early enough.

Datier tries to retain it, but it doesn't matter.

It's dangerous here if we don't retreat quickly.

I left the kingdom of Karon in a hurry.

◆ Prince Omiros of Algoa

"Flash!!!

"Gyaaaa!!

"Guaa"

The magic of the flash of the pulse explodes.

The goblins who received that intense light held their eyes and suffered. Dark acting goblins are vulnerable to strong light. You won't be able to see for a while.

"Now! Kill them before they regain their sight!!

This is seven people, but there are more than twenty goblins. My eyesight recovers and I get pushed out in a few minutes.

Together with the command, he raised his sword and entered the Goblins.

"Don't aim because your head is hard! Aim for the torso!!

"I didn't know that!!

Speak out and exchange swords with the Goblins. The Goblins are rampaging around trying to thwart their attack.

The head of the goblin is as hard as a stone, so the sword cannot pass. That's why we have to aim down from the neck. Humans are taller than goblins, so it's hard to aim, but if you're a somewhat skilled warrior, it's no problem.

And they are Argoan warriors. A goblin of this magnitude will help.

Strong things are important in Algoa, close to Nargor and under constant threat from monsters. Argoa's boys are destined to live as warriors from birth.

All the men of Argoa are warriors and powerful. And Argoa's warrior means the strongest in the region.

So even this number of goblins won't lose.

The war is advancing in our favor. However, because of the large number of goblins, they can't be defeated.

"Gaaaaah!!

Finally, a goblin who has regained his eyesight shook his club and attacked.

When he blocks a Goblin stick with his shield, he turns his body and tears it apart.

Kick off a chopped goblin, hit another goblin, and stab and kill a goblin that comes from the side.

"Don't you, Prince Omyros?"

Pulsis laughs.

I often think of myself. This man is defeating far more Goblins than he is.

Parsis is not originally of Algoa. Someone from another country who was expected to be my father's diner.

That arm is incredible, no one will beat the pulse if it were one-on-one.

Recently, the name sounded in other countries until it was called the hero of Argoa.

I didn't like this man called Pulsis very much. She is a pussy with a kiss. This man seems to be dealing not only with women in our country, but also with women in other countries.

Unlike his predecessors, he was sent to the neighboring countries by his father's policy of establishing friendly relations with the neighboring countries. And this man came along as a confession. At that time, it seemed to have hit the ladies of other countries.

Parsis is so beautiful that it doesn't seem like a man. I don't suppose you leave women alone either.

"Then this pulse won't be defeated by the prince either. Let's go!!

That said, the parsis is heading towards a herd of goblins. And one after the other, the goblins are slashed and torn apart.

The movement was just a wind.

"Wow...."

"That's Mr. Pulsis!!

Everyone who was there complimented Pulsis individually.

Parsis is really strong just because it's said to be a hero. Rumor has it that weak augers can cross each other alone.

I wrap my tongue around it. Her face is also good and strong. As if he were a hero of light.

Eventually, as a result of the work of the pulses, there will be no one working on the Goblins.

"It's over, but are you still moving on? Prince Omilos?"

Parsis looks back and asks himself.

"Yes, I would like to go a little further"

I hear dissatisfaction when I say so.

"Young man... let's go back. If you stay here any longer, you'll die."

Balthazar, who has been with us, proposes to withdraw. He is his own escort under his father's command.

"Sorry, Balthazar. Just hang out a little longer."

"That's enough, Omiros. The whereabouts of Princess Cupidus. Goblins are already killing us."

"Maxis!!

I grab Maxis' breasts. He's my cousin. He came all this way to talk to me.

"Goblins don't necessarily kill humans! Sometimes I keep him alive!!

"Hey, that's worse than living... I can't believe you're giving birth to a Goblin child...."

There is only one reason Goblin should live without killing a human woman. I feel like crying at the words of McCussis.

"Still... Rijena..."

It didn't end in words.

"Master McCussis. I don't mean to bully the prince that much."

When Pulsis says so, Maxis sighs.

"I'm sorry, Omiros. Too much."

Maxis apologizes.

"There was a hole on the way out. Let's rest there."

Everyone agrees with the Pulsis proposal. It is selfish of me to be here.

They turned back.

When he reached the hole and went out, the sky was cloudy.

Put out the fire in Cantella and sit there each.

"Prince Omyros. Not Master McCussis, but how long do you intend to continue?

The question of pulses bothers me.

"I'm sorry, Master Parsis... I want to know what happened to Regina at least...."

Everyone shuts up when they say so.

You don't have to tell me. Probably imagining the worst part of a woman captured by a goblin.

"But, Omiros, you've already mowed the goblins around here."

Nod at Maxis's words.

"Oh, so I think we should go a little further."

When I say so, the warriors raise their voices against me.

"Don't do that! If we go any further, we're going north of the mountain!!

"Forgive me, Prince, the northern goblin is much stronger than the southern goblin. That's dangerous!!

The subordinate was right.

The northern goblin is strong. Whereas the southern goblins can only be equipped with sticks, the northern goblins have the technology to make iron weapons and armor. With the exception of Parsis, you will surely die if you go.

The handlers complain indiscriminately. I didn't say anything about Balthazar or McCussis, but I was dissatisfied.

I don't say anything about pulses.

"Don't complain so much, folks. I know how the prince feels. Princess Rijena? She was certainly a beautiful princess. I know you're stubborn."

The pulses embarrass everyone.

But I felt the blood flowing back into the pulse.

"Master Pulsis! If so, why didn't you help Rijena?! To the nest of the goblin....."

"It was your father, the king, who decided it. What can I do?"

I have no choice but to keep quiet when they say so.

Parsis was right. It was my father who banished Rijena to the nest in Goblin.

Originally, Argoa had an internal dispute.

The cause of the dispute dates back to the time of the founding of the country.

What happened in Argoa was a fortress that served as a base for the Knights and Warriors of the Eastern Continent, gathered 400 years ago to carry out the Demon King crusade.

At first, temporary fortifications until the time of Nargor's invasion gained their time and became a nation.

The commander became king, and the knights and warriors of each country became their own clan.

Initially, the family from St. Lenaria was king, but other families became dissatisfied and contested. As a result of the discussion, it was decided that the chief of each clan would become king in ten years of alternation.

However, the decision was gradually lost, and a family that was particularly powerful began to monopolize the throne. That is the family of Rijena.

Some were dissatisfied, but the clan was powerful, and the dispute was never superficial.

But then something went wrong.

Cupius, the king of time, fell in love with the prince's fiancée during his stay in the great Veros and ran off to take him back to Argoa.

Naturally, the kingdom of Veros was angry and demanded that the prince's fiancée be returned.

But Cupidus and the others did not return it.

Other clans were dissatisfied. This is all the more true because I was originally dissatisfied with the royal family.

The other clans persuaded him to return to Cupidus, but were not heard.

As a result, Argoa had to contend with the great Veros, and the surrounding countries had to distance themselves from Argoa.

As a result, merchants stopped coming to Argoa and lived in isolation and hardship. As a result, other clans became even more dissatisfied with the royal family.

And the dissatisfied gathered themselves unto their father, Montas, the chief of the mighty clan that was in conflict, to seek refuge with Cupidus the king.

Of course Cupidus won't listen.

The royal family was powerful and no other clan could compete from the front. The royal family did not have the power to destroy other clans, and there was no conflict on the surface. However, dissatisfaction accumulated.

And it came to pass that the moon and the sun were running away, and the woman that ran away begat a princess with King Cupidus. That's Rijena.

Rijena met when she was five years old. It was when my father brought me to a meeting of clan leaders at the royal palace.

At that time, I walked around on my own excited about my first visit to the royal palace. At that time, I happened to walk through the royal palace and meet Rijena.

There were no children of the same age around Rijena, and they quickly got along.

Adults were fighting, but that had nothing to do with Rijena, who was a child.

They sometimes stole their parents' eyes and played together.

And I grew up with Rijena.

Rijena, who grew up, became very beautiful. I couldn't say it in front of Rijena, but I wanted to protect her.

So I left Argoa for about a year with Machus and Balthazar and went on a samurai training trip.

But that was a failure.

Then he returned to his homeland, Argoa, and rose to heaven. Soon his father, Montas, became king of Argoa, and banished Rijena and the others.

It seems that King Cupidus tried to kill all his fathers.

The father who eventually succeeded in the counterattack prevailed, and he became king.

I doubted my ears when I was first asked about it. There was certainly a struggle, but King Cupidus didn't think he was the kind of man who would go to such an outrage.

But I was betrayed.

Surely King Cupidus deserves it, but shouldn't he be banished to Rijena, who did nothing?

I blamed my father, but nothing happened.

I want to know what happened to Regina at least. That's right, I'm borrowing a hero pulsis from my father and searching the Akelon Mountains.

I don't know if Rijena is alive. I want to help you if you're alive. If he's dead, I'd like to take the artifact home. It's too pathetic to be trapped in a dark goblin den.

"Prince, I know how sad you feel, but it's time to go back or the night will come. Let's stop today."

Nod at the words. You can't let Balthazar or McCussis die on your own.

The break is over and everyone gets up.

"Is the break over?

I suddenly hear a voice. It's a woman's voice.

Everyone sees the voice at the same time.

There stood a beautiful girl.

Silver hair was very beautiful on clear white skin.

He was dressed like a black dress with a giant scythe in his hand.

I've never met such a beautiful girl. Just where she is, it's like a different world.

Everyone here falls in love with a girl.

"Miss, what can I do for you? I don't think he's the only one."

The only thing that could move was the pulse, which no one could move.

Parsis is right, this girl will not be alone.

"Are you guys from Argoa okay?

The girl asks herself.

"Yes, but...."

I nod.

"Yes... who's Herpes?

Face to face the girl's words. There are no friends named Herpes.

"You're not here? I hear you're the hero of Argoa...."

The words finally converge.

If Algoa's a hero, he's not a herpet, he's a parsi, young lady.

Corrected by Maxis.

"Yes... then who is that Pulpez?

I don't think I remember his name.

"I am the parsis, my lady."

The pulses come out kissing and touching the long hair.

"Goblin face... You're Herpes?

The name comes back first, but the pulsis nods whether it is troublesome to correct it.

Even so, Goblin's face is a strange thing. The parsis is beautiful from a man's point of view. I don't think it resembles an ugly goblin.

"Then fight Kuna. I want to see the results of my training."

That way, the girl holds a scythe. Everyone is surprised at the attitude. Is this girl our enemy?

"Why do I have to fight you?

"Because Kuna wants to see the results of her training."

I wonder why. Then it's just a fighter freak.

"I don't know... Are you from Nargor?

The girl nods at Parsis's words.

"Yes, Kuna lives in Nargor."

Once again, everyone is surprised at the words.

"You live in Nargor... aren't you human?

Nargor is a country where monsters live, not a land where humans can live. I wonder if this girl is not human either. It is certainly a beauty that does not seem human.

"Maybe the legendary demon tribe... A witch?"

"I hear that the demonic woman is terrifying. But it's beautiful....."

Speak up about the girl. If the girl is Nargolian, she is a human enemy. Is that why you're attacking us?

"That's strange, isn't it? This is even more of a demonic woman... Are you sure you're a demon?

I think it's good for the pulse. Has Parsis ever seen a demon race?

"Kuna is not a demon. Kuna is Kuna."

The look on the girl's face hasn't changed. Looks like he's in a lot of a hurry.

"Take the sword. If you're not coming, we're coming."

The girl is about to attack.

"I don't want to fight women... I can't help it."

Pulsis pulls out his sword and holds his shield.

"Sorry, I'm strong."

The pulse is strong. But the girl in front of you is not alone.

"Here we go!!

A girl comes poking at me with a sickle.

"Fufu, to that extent...."

Pulsis took the girl's sickle with a smile and a shield....

"... gobwwwwwwww!!

... I can't believe it. They just keep playing and flying.

Pulsis is thrown away with a strange scream and collides with the rock behind him.

Everyone gets caught up in that state.

"Master Pulsis!!

"Master Parsis!!

After a while, they returned to me and rushed to the parsis.

"Gob... what a force..."

I hit the rocks, but the pulses seemed to be fine.

"You're kidding... that Pulsi-sama..."

"With such a small body....."

The girl's arms seem thin but incredibly powerful. No number of Argoan warriors can beat him.

"What was that? Kuna just poked it lightly."

Everyone feels afraid of the words.

The poke I just made didn't seem serious.

"Unlike what it looks like, it seems like a force inside... But it's not over yet."

While the pulse fluctuates. Reassemble the shield and sword.

"It seems strong, but how about this! Fire!!!

Fireballs are thrown out of Parsis's hands.

The ball of fire hits the girl's feet and raises the soot. Apparently, he deliberately blocked his sight.

"Acceleration (Haste)!!!

When the soil and smoke rise, the pulse screams as it moves. The pulses move faster. The movement seems to be windy.

The accelerated pulses stood behind her as she bypassed the girl, pointing a sword at her back.

"You have a match. If you surrender, I will save your life."

Parsis laughs and says to the girl.

"What are you talking about? So do your best?"

When a girl says so, she suddenly disappears.

"Eh!!

The astonishing voice of Pulsis.

The disappearing girl was behind the parsis.

"No, when!!

The pulse looked back and was stunned.

"Now it's our turn."

The girl shakes the sickle.

"What!!

Everyone is surprised, not just by the pulses.

Several of the girl's sickles split and hit the pulse.

"Wowaaaahhhh!!!

Pulsis can't do anything by screaming. Many sickles pass through the body of the pulse.

A few seconds later. The sickle disappears.

What?

The surprised face of Pulsis. The sickle seemed to have passed too many pulses, but it wasn't dead.

"Rest assured, I will not take my life. I just slashed my armor."

The girl says the parsis armor falls off her body and onto the ground.

The girl's sickle seemed to have targeted the armor part precisely, without slashing the body of the parsis. All of Parsis's armor has been removed.

But it wasn't just the armor that was removed. The clothes under Parsis's armor ripped and fell.

"Failure... a little crazy at hand. We need to practice more."

The moment the girl said so, the parsis pants fell off.

From here, I can see the whole Pulsis ass.

"Small... Beans?"

The girl lowers her gaze and mutters.

This attack hurts. I sympathize with the pulses.

"Ugh... this is a retreat! I'm coming! Gentlemen!!!

Pulsis grabbed his crotch and ran away. Very ugly.

"A monster!!!

"Witch! A silver witch!!

"Run!!

The men also escape.

"Omiros! We're getting away too!!

Maxis inspires himself.

"Ok!!

Turn your back and run.

Turn around running away.

The girl won't come after me. I felt that there was someone else beside the girl.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

"Too weak. I don't know if this has improved."

Kuna complains.

"I can't help it. Kuna is strong....."

I slap Kuna's head. Then Kuna's expression eased slightly.

"They escaped. What do we do, Croki?

Kuna asks herself.

"Really... I don't know what to do..."

When I was flying on Glorious, I saw a human coming out of the Goblin nest.

I thought maybe one of them was a hero pulse, so I decided to make contact.

I thought that if I approached Glorious, I could escape to the nest, so I dropped Glorious a little farther away and turned off the signs and approached.

Now, what should we do? Why are they here? Should I ask why?

But they may be the ones who banished Rijena to the Goblin lair. They may not be the reason. Then it would be better not to ask.

So let me promise you that I won't come to this land again with a little bit of pain in my eyes.

When she tried to go like that, Kuna said she wanted to do it. Apparently, he wants to see the results of the scythe practice.

The scythe is as difficult a weapon as it looks. It is certainly better to see the results of the practice in action.

But I was hesitant to let Kuna fight. But I couldn't say I couldn't do Kuna any favors.

It's inaccurate, but I have the ability to measure my opponent's strength to some extent. The power they feel is weak. There won't be a problem with Kuna either.

That's why I understand that Kuna is going.

And he came near them, and one Kuna came near them.

Of course, he hid so that he could go to help whenever he was in danger. But they were weaker than expected and escaped easily.

After all, I couldn't make you promise not to come here.

Should we go after him?

"Speaking of which, it looks like they were talking about something, but did you hear what they were talking about?

My ears have improved since I came to this world. But their voices did not reach the place where they were waiting.

"Sure... li..."

Li?

Kuna tried to stop. And think about something.

"Yeah, it's nothing. I'm sorry, Croki. Kuna couldn't hear them."

That's what Kuna replies.

"I can't help it, Kuna. If you didn't hear me."

I couldn't help it if I didn't hear you.

Besides, I don't really want to know.

If you ask me why, I'll do it next time. I don't think you'll be honest with me, but Kuna can use the magic of domination and charm, as well as the magic of false discrimination.

Their magic will not be able to resist, so we will soon know why.

Well then, let's go back to the Demon King Castle.

I slap Kuna's head. Kuna looks happy again.

Okay, Croki.

Me and Kuna will return to Glorious.

"Kuroki...."

Kuna, walking right behind her, calls out her name.

"What is it, Kuna?

"Kuroki is huge...."

"I see...."

Does Kuna see a big back?

I returned to the Magic Royal Castle with such an exchange.
