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

◆ Black Knight Young Crook

"Lord Dihart, that is the magic of flying."

Lugas says to herself floating in the middle of the room.

It is the afternoon of the next day after the battle against Reiji. I was in a room in the castle of the Magic King where I received a magic lecture from Lugas.

After the battle with Reiji, I received a great deal of gratitude from Modes.

I am now in Nargor's second place to Modes.

I appreciate your gratitude, but I wanted you to give me a break for hugging me with "my dear friend ~".

It's about the reward, but I put it on hold. Because if I go home, I won't be able to get paid.

According to Modes, summoning cannot return to the original world, but rather go to a different world or become lost in space-time. That's why they need a magic spell called homecoming.

Unfortunately, Modes was not familiar with such magic and was finally able to summon himself.

Modes promised to find a way back.

I wonder if Ellios has a comeback?

I doubt it.

Modes says it's unlikely.

I don't know where that confidence comes from, but it must be pretty reliable information.

Except if Modes is lying. The truth is, there are retribution techniques, and they try not to let themselves go back and fight the brave.

But I don't think I'm lying. There will be better lies if you go too far and fight the brave above all else.

Besides, it seems that Modes is a type of attitude where what he thinks comes out.

I think so after seeing the derailed attitude of Modes when I was talking to Morna.

Sometimes Morna is honest with the two couples.

So why are they fighting?

I was forced into this world, and there was no way back.

I think Reggie was bewitched by the scent of the goddess, but I don't know why they're fighting except for Reggie.

I also wanted information about Reggie and the others.

By the way, I heard before noon that Reiji had taken his life.

I was relieved to hear that. I knew Raj would kill me, but I didn't mean to. Reggie doesn't look bad enough to have to kill.

I was relieved to learn about Nargol, the world and magic from Lugas.

Whatever you do, you need information.

The old man who had grown horns in front of him and lost his ears was the prime minister of Nargor and the wisest man. Originally, I had to do Nargor's administration without being a teacher, but instead of that, I seem to be well treated as my own teacher.

And now I'm being taught about magic.

"It seems that the magic of flying can be used without any problems. However, be careful, while using the magic of flying, you will not be able to use another magic and become defenseless. It won't feed the Archers....."

As I float, I draw a magical little black flame from my index finger.

"... I really need to be careful, but there was nothing to worry about for Sir Dihart."

Lugus tells me to open it.

Looking at Lugus's mouth, it seems quite difficult to use two magic powers simultaneously.

"A brave man is a mystery. Even if it were one of the magic of flying, humans would need a long training... My fellow brave men used high magic in the same way, and so did Sir Dihart."

According to Lugus, Raige and the others had to train for a long time to use the high magic that appeared in this world and could be used immediately.

And it seems that I can use high magic as well. I don't even know why I can use it.

Stop using the magic of flying and get off the ground.

"And that black flame. Only His Majesty and Sir Runfeld could use it in this world, but Sir Dihart could. But that's interesting. Lord Dihart can't use ordinary magical flames, but he can use black flames... It should be the other way around."

Lugus shakes his head like he can't believe it.

"But it would be inconvenient not to be able to use ordinary fire with your own magic. Now let's use the Spirit of Fire."

Lugus murmurs when he tells him to think. Then a book suddenly appeared in Lugas's hand.

"Now let's try spiritual magic. Please be careful, the system is completely different from the previous magic."

I remember what Lugas learned a while ago.

It seems that there are two kinds of magic, whether you use magic with your own magic or do it with the help of something other than yourself. It seems that flying magic is the former and spiritual magic is the latter.

Spirit magic is the magic of communicating with invisible spirits and getting their wishes or demands heard. However, as a prerequisite for using spiritual magic, the ability to communicate by magic must be high.

The ability to communicate by magic is like a kind of telepathy, meaning that people who do not understand the original words communicate with each other by magical power. It seems that I was able to converse with Modes who did not understand Japanese because I was unconsciously using this magical communication ability. It wasn't really a conversation in words, it was a conversation triggered by magic.

This magical communication of will seems easy for those with the intelligence to speak words, but it seems that a fairly high ability is required to communicate with spirits and beasts without words. Even those with high magic can not use spiritual magic unless the ability to communicate will by magic is high.

"Spirit of fire in the atmosphere, hear my voice!!

Then Lugus raises his index finger and there is a fire.

Keep your fingers off me. Even with your fingers off, a small fire remains in the air.

And Lugus lights a fire in the air. Stop whining about ten lights and the fire will go out.

"Try the same."

I murmur just like Lugas.

"Um... Spirit of fire in the atmosphere, listen to my voice!!

Lift your index finger and murmur like Lucas. Then, when the fire comes out of my index finger, I suddenly fly around the room away from my finger.

"Damn!!

Avoid yourself in haste. Fire falls into the wall when it storms the room as it is.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lugas!!

I lowered my head to Lugas.

"No, it would have been a mess if I hadn't put a magic defense on the room. Looks like spiritual magic doesn't work."

Lugus says interestingly.

After that, I tried to manipulate the Spirit of Fire several times, but he didn't listen to me.

Lugus says the Spirit of Fire can't be used well, but it seems that some people can use the Spirit of Water well, so I will try other spirits as well.

However, I tried to use the Spirit of Water and the Spirit of the Wind, but I could not manipulate the room by simply flooding it with water or sprinkling paper.

It seems convenient to remember the Spirit of Water, so Undine of the Lower Spirit practiced a little so that she could use it, but she was quite tired. With this, it will be difficult even to summon the upper spirits.

It seemed like I couldn't communicate well with a spiritual opponent who couldn't speak with my ability.

I recall Rino Sasaki using something like a superior spirit of fire in the battle against Reiji.

I'm sure she has a good ability to communicate by magic.

And even though spirits can't, I haven't tried communicating with beasts who can't speak the same language. I think I'll try it again.

"That's enough for today."

Lugus closes the book and it disappears from Lugus' hands.

"Sir Lugas... I have a question for you."

"What is it?

"Lord Lugas has been spreading the book since he used magic, but what does that mean?

Oh, I see. I was curious about the Wizard Book.

Lugas murmured something and suddenly a book appeared in his hand.

I nod.

"Sir Dihart, as a matter of fact, this Lugus can't use spiritual magic by nature."

I bend my neck.

"Um... it looks like Lord Lugas was using spiritual magic earlier."

I question myself.

Earlier, Lucas was using spiritual magic. Why can't I use it?

"That's because I had the power of this Wizard Book. By opening an item to use the Spirit of Fire in this Magic Book, I could also use the Spirit Magic that I couldn't use."

"Well, can you use the spell book yourself to use spiritual magic?

I honestly want you to tell me sooner if you have such a useful tool.

Would you like to try it?

"Eh? Is that good?!

I nodded to Lugus's words and borrowed the Magic Book.

I opened it and tried to use it, but the Magic Book didn't react.

"When Lord Lugas was here, the Magic Book was glowing...."

"Phofofofofo, the magic book is specially made and can only be used by me, the owner."

Lugus laughs.

"Really... That's a bit unfortunate."

I say softly.

According to Lugas, Lugas has magic books of all kinds and can use healing and spiritual magic that cannot be used in the first place. It seems that the number of magic that can be used exceeds the Modes.

The reason Lugas didn't fight the hero was because he had to change the Magic Book every time he used the magic of a different system, so it took longer than those who could use the magic of that system, and because he used nearly twice as much magic as those who normally used that magic when summoning the Magic Book, he wasn't ready for battle.

"I envy Sir Dihart, who can use the black flame. That black flame can't be used with the power of the Wizard Book."

Lucas says unfortunately.

And Lugus murmurs when he gets his book back. Then the book disappears from Lugus's hand.

"The power is also convenient. Was it magic to summon or undo something far away?"

"Ah, the magic of object movement. Special magic tools are surprisingly easy to use. Like Lord Dihart's Magic Sword."

"Really?

I remember the magic sword given to me by Modes. Needless to say, the sword that slashed Reggie.

"Remember that sword once in a while. Call it."

I think of the Magic Sword with my hands crossed.

Come on!!

A few seconds later, there was a sword in my hand.

"It seems that the Magic Sword has recognized you as the owner. These special magical weapons and armor will be on your husband's side. It's easy to call."

I see the Magic Sword. A Magic Sword with a red crest on its black sword will make a terrible impression on those who see it.

"The magic sword is called the black blood magic sword. Those who have been cut by the magic sword will gradually erode their magic by pouring black power into them. The hero slain with the magic sword will be devoured by magic and will be on the verge of death by now."

Lugus laughs with joy.

My heart groans at the words.

"Um... I heard the brave man took his life....."

At least that's what I heard. I was relieved to hear that Raige was saved...

"For now, it seems that the power of the Virgin is connecting life. But how long will it last?"

Lugus laughs as he comes

Reggie is an enemy to Lugus and his enemies are dying, so he must be happy.

But I wasn't.

Whatever you do, I've never wanted to kill Raj.

I don't like him very much, but Reggie isn't bad enough to have to kill. I don't think I can hurt myself because I don't like it.

Honestly, I'm worried.

After all, I think we should go and see how things are going.

I didn't really care about Reggie, but about them.

Above all, I am worried about the condition of Shirone.

I was uncomfortable when Shirone went missing in the original world.

That sirone is in this world. I wonder what happened.

I open my mouth when I think for a while.

"Um... Master Lugas. I need to talk to you."

◆ Kuroki to see the demon king

"I see, I'm worried about the brave. Okay, let's get you the tools you need for your trip."

Modes nods.

I feel refreshed by the fact that I got an understanding.

During the sighting of the Demon King Castle, he appealed to Modes to see the hero.

At first, I thought they might say no, but Modes was happy to accept. Maybe because Modes thought he was going to stab a brave man because he didn't say why he was going to see him.

But I was relieved to get Modes' help. I don't know anything about this world. It would be the difference between clouds and clouds if we didn't have help.

Lugas, get Lord Dihart what he needs for his journey.

Lugus comes forward with a moaning of Modeth.

"Yes, I was consulted yesterday, so I've already prepared it. Sir Dihart will not know anything about the human realm, so let me be your guide. It's a nut. Come on out."

A small animal appears at Lugus's feet in Lugus's voice.

An animal like a squirrel or a mouse with red hair. The little animal comes to his feet.

"Dear Dihart, at first, Jans is called the Nut of the Fire Rat Nation."

A rat named Nut greets his head in a flash.

Normally, mice talk!! That is surprising, but I see a lot of creatures that are already impossible. I wouldn't be surprised now.

"It's Dihart. Nice to meet you, Nut."

I return the greeting.

The nut looks surprised when he greets him. Of course, I'm not really surprised because it's a mouse face.

"... no, don't get along with the rumors, Jans. I hear you're scarier, Jance."

The nut shook his neck with both hands up.

I laugh bitterly when it is said that I was thought to be afraid.

Apparently, I'm afraid of Modes.

Except for the demons who are relatively similar in appearance to humans under Modes, they are all monster-like people. I think it is strange to be scared by such people.

But I don't think it's a good thing to be scared if you have to live here for a while.

It is said that I am afraid of eyesight in the original world, and I remember stretching my forehair and hiding my eyes. I think that has resulted in a slightly gentle look.

But we don't seem to be afraid of what looks like in this world, so we need another way.

So what do we do?

Next time, let's dance and say, "I'm not scared, I'm not scared."

When I think about such stupid things, Modes and others look strange.

"Sir Dihart....?

"No, nothing. Thank you for taking the lead."

"Now we have something else that you may need to see."

Describe all the magical tools brought by Lugus's men.

A map of the world. Magic cloak with hood to eliminate presence. A stone that makes warriors with magic. Stone that seals the magic of metastasis. It is a kind of jewelry that may replace the currency of the human world.

If there's anything else I can do, can I have it?

"No, I think that's enough."

I say thank you. In fact, I don't know anything about this world, so I don't even realize what I need.

"Lord Dihart, outside this Nargor lies the realm of the gods of Ellios. If they think it's dangerous, they'll turn back with a stone of metastasis."

Modes says.

The magic of metastasis is the magic of setting the place you want to metastasize and moving there. The Stone of Transformation is a magical tool that can only be used once by people who cannot use that magic.

"Thank you."

I thank Modeth.

You must be courteous to those who worry about you. This will be common sense in any world.

And then he left the room for a while.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

"Where are we?

The magic of metastasis moved nobody in the dark.

"This is Jans, one of the defensive strongholds in the Akelon Mountains. If it's true, there were resident knights, and Jans was killed and wounded in battle with the brave, so Jans couldn't afford to deploy knights from Jans to this base...."

The nut on my shoulder explained to me.

The Akeron Mountains are the boundary between Nargor and the human world.

This mountain is guarded by the Dark Knights flying dragons to prevent intrusion from the sky. It appears to be one of the bases of the defense.

It was here that I set up my journey and traveled magically all at once from the castle of the Demon King.

Down this mountain is supposed to be the human world.

"It's strange, Jans, the dragon rider who will take you here to the foot of the mountain should be waiting for you, and Jans...."

I actually got off faster with the magic of flying, but I was interested in flying dragons, so I decided to have them sent by flying dragons.

There is a noise coming from outside the stone building.

Outside, there was a lizard-like creature with huge wings.

A monster called a flying dragon (Wyburn). There was a dark knight on the back of the dragon.

The dark knight drops the dragon near the building and he descends from the back of the dragon.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Dihart! My name is Knight Gneid!

The Dark Knight grabs a helmet and thanks himself.

It is a demonic youth from the late teens to the early twenties, according to human age.

Lugus told me about the demons.

The Demons are the top species in this Nargor. The appearance is the same as that of a human with brown skin, but it is characterized by the presence of two horns on his head. They are superior to magic and far superior to humans physically.

However, in terms of weaknesses, the number is very small, and only one in twentieth of the Orcs, the largest species in Nargor, are there.

However, the Dark Knights, still made up of Demon Warriors, were Nargol's strongest.

I wonder if that dark knight Gneid is nervous or scared of his face.

"Nice to meet you, Sir Gneid. Don't be so sure."

To be honest, my lord, my back is kind of itchy when I call it honest. I'm not that human. At the age you look, you shouldn't be that different from yourself, I want you to talk more easily.

But I notice Sir Gneid trembling a little.

Are you afraid?

It would be a shock.

"No! Your Majesty is second only to this Nargor!!

Honestly, I don't know if I'm nervous or afraid.

However, it seems impossible for you to speak with ease.

"I will send you to the foot of the mountain!!

Gneid says, riding on the back of the flying dragon, asking him to take the back seat.

"Best regards, Sir Gneid....."

"I understand!!

When he gets on, Gneid flies the flying dragon.

When the dragon flies its wings, it feels the wind.

Oops, I hear a voice in that sensation.

It feels good inside.

As soon as the dragon flies over the sky, its defense base will be smaller.

The feeling of flying was very good. I think I want a flying dragon for myself.

However, the altitude drops suddenly where it came from.

"What's the matter, Sir Gunned?

The sky is ruined by low-altitude flight.

"The surveillance is tight from here on out, so I'll fly at low altitude!!

What does surveillance mean?

"Dear Dihart, This area is already under surveillance by the Knights of Ellios. Fly high and you'll be watched, Jance."

The nut in the pocket of the clothes explains it.

In Nut's description, Elliots' Knight of the Holy Knight was an elite unit of human heroes and angel tribes who pledged allegiance to the god Oedis. And because Ellios and Nargor are hostile, the Holy Knights are hostile to the Dark Knights.

The Knights have often repeated air violations since the Dark Knights were destroyed by the Reggies. That's why they have to fly at low altitude so they don't find us.

Gneid quickly manipulates the flying dragon. It was dangerous from the side.

"It seems that Sir Gneid has been riding a dragon for a long time, and it's been a shallow day since then....."

The Dark Knights are currently understaffed. There are not many skilled dragon riders, and it seems that Gneido has not been long since he became a dragon rider.

"But if you're flying like this, you might be targeted by some goblins around here, Jans...."

"What, from Goblin?

When I got my magic lecture from Lugus, I was taught some things about monsters. A goblin is an ugly monster with a green body about 140 cm tall on average. In Lugas' lecture, their heads are harder than iron and they don't like music.

But isn't Goblin under Modeth, the Demon King, more than a monster?

When you talk about a question,

"Goblins around here are not under Your Majesty's control, Jans."

According to Nut, Modes is sometimes called the monster's ruler, but just because people don't live and monsters control a large number of Nargos, it seems that monsters outside Nargos are not under Modes' control separately, and do not listen to Modes' orders.

The goblins around here don't listen to Modes. Rather, there are fewer monsters who listen to Modeth.

To be honest, the title of the Demon King is false.

Modes has the power to dominate monsters all over the world, but Modes doesn't seem to have much desire to dominate and doesn't attack the human world from Nargor.

Most likely, when monsters outside Nargor attack humans, they think Modes is causing them to attack, but the reality is completely different.

In other words, if you leave Nargor, it is out of the control of Modes, so you have to solve the problem on your own when it happens.

I touch the magic sword on my hips, and it takes time to call, so I'm wearing a sword. It might have been possible to pull the sword from the monster on the road.

When I was thinking about that, suddenly an arrow came flying down.

"Go, Jance in Goblin!!

The nut made a hasty noise.

Looking at them, people like the green short-haired ones are pointing arrows at us.

The flying dragon burst out excited by being shot with an arrow.

In a hurry, I cling to the dragon.

"Calm down!! Calm down!!!

Gneid tried to calm down the dragon, but it didn't work.

Gneido raises the flying dragon rapidly to avoid arrows.

"Uh-oh!!

There was an unexpected voice.

The arrows could not reach because they rose rapidly.

"Calm down!! Calm down!!"

The flying dragon managed to calm down by running away from the arrow.

"Now you seem to be relieved..."

With peace of mind, Gneido makes a hasty voice.

"Ahh! Found!

Looking in the direction Gneid pointed, there was a rapidly approaching human with wings. The number is ten.

The winged man was wearing golden armor, holding a bow in his hand and pointing towards us.

"That's an angel knight, Jans! Sir Gneid, don't run, Jance!

The Angels are the kind of people who look like winged humans living in Ellios.

The Angels, a species with wings, do not fly in the sky with the magic of flying, so they can use magic while flying and also use swords.

Usually you can't fight using the magic of flying, so if you don't ride flying creatures such as flying dragons or sky horses, you won't be able to compete with them.

Even though Gneido is riding a flying dragon, he is only riding one horse, and Gneido is not riding a flying dragon for long. If we fight like this, we will be shot down.

Needless to say, the nut tries to turn the flying dragon, but it doesn't work.

I think I have no choice but to sing the magic of flying.

"My lord!?

"Sir Gneid, stay in control of the dragon. I'll take care of it myself."

When I said so, I headed straight for the angels.

Angels throw arrows at themselves.

The arrow looked very late.

"Ha!!

He pulls out his sword and knocks down his arrow.

"Stupid!!

The screams of the angels.

"Black flame!!

While flying through the sky, he brings out huge black flames in the air.

"Hellflame!!

A mass of black flames spreads towards the angels.

I'm not going to hit you. It's just a threat.

However, the effect is enormous, and you can see the opponent rushing back and forth.

"That black flame is Runfeld, run!!

The angels ran away thinking he didn't know his face because he was wearing a cape hood.

When I returned to Gneid's flying dragon, I sat back.

"Wow...."

I can hear Gneid murmuring.

"Sir Gneid, the angel has been driven away. Fly like this."

I laugh at Gneid.

"Roger, I'll see you later!!

Gneid chews himself up and flies the flying dragon.

The dragon flies high and slashes the wind.

I thought it felt good.

If you fly with the magic of flying, you have to concentrate some magic, and you can't enjoy the view. If you want to fly in the sky, you'd better ride something back.

I thought if I came back, I would like a flying dragon for myself.

Eventually we reach the edge of the Akelon Mountains.

Thank you, Lord Gneid.

I thanked Gneid for getting him off the dragon to the ground.

"I'm sorry!!

Gneid remained nervous from start to finish.

But I also feel that my attitude is a little more relaxed than when I first met you.

"I wish you all the best on your way!!

Thank you, Lord Gneid.

Gneid flies the dragon when he says so.

Well, it was a walk from here.

According to Nut, Reggie and the others are in the Republic of St. Lenaria.

If you can use the magic of transfer, it will be quick, but it can only be moved to a pre-set location, so it cannot be set outside of Nargor, so naturally it cannot be used.

It is a short distance to the Republic of St. Lenaria, but it seems that I am superhuman in this world and can travel faster than in the previous world. It won't take that long.

Okay, let's go, Nut.

I took a step forward into the human world.
