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

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

"Chiyuki! I went that way!!

Lino yells at me.

"I know!!

Hits the ratman who attacked me with his magic hand.

"Ghh!!

I can beat you with my honest cane, but I don't want to touch it if possible.

Ratman uses weapons for ex-humans.

The actual beaten ratman was carrying a dagger (short sword) and wrapped his body in leather armor.

That's why Shizufe and the others are struggling.

Besides, it's getting faster because I've become a mouse. Fortunately, because he became a beast, he could no longer use his flying gear.

A ratman on a giant mouse raids with a spear.

"Watch out, Shizufe!!

Rage fires a Rat Man Rider that hits Shizufe with a Light Bomb.

Thank you, Mr. Reggie.

Shizufe thanked.

"Hmm!!

Novis' grumpy voice beside him.

It's completely easy to understand.

With that in mind, I hit Ratman with my magic hand.

It was when we went deep into the underground waterway.

I met a group of monsters who were ambushing me on the way and got into battle.

Besides, Ratman wasn't the only one who came out.

The lower body of the snake Lamia and the lower body of the spider Arkenny also appeared.

It's Syrone and Dekius fighting back.

Anyway, let Shirone take care of Dekius.

Lamia is a species that inhabits much of the west from here.

It is a species with only women, and its lower body is a snake. It is the same as Strigues to inhale the living blood of other species.

I don't know where he went after he ran away from the arena, but he was here.

Lamia and Arkeni are more magical than humans, but they are not enemies of Shirone.

They are now defeated one after another.

The battle will advance to our advantage, and eventually we will defeat all monsters.

"Mr. DeKius, are you okay?

Silone is worried about Dekius.

"It's okay. I was just a little poisoned."

Dekius' face is blue. It doesn't look okay.

Lamia uses poison or snake for her lower body. The poison seems to have hit me.

"Sahoko-san. Detoxify."

"Okay."

When Sahoko uses magic, Dekius's expression is restored.

Let's take a break. Shizufe and the others must be tired, right?

Raige suggests a break.

There were more enemies than I thought.

That's why we're fine, but Shizufe and the others should get some rest.

Lino and Sahoko cleanse the area with the magic of cleansing. Looks like Ratman has some kind of germ.

We'll be fine, but the Shizufe will be in danger.

"Nevertheless, I didn't expect so many enemies."

I said it with a sloppy face.

That's true. According to Gould's information, the number seems to be small, but that was not the case.

Are the Freedom Fighters safely entering the groundwater from elsewhere?

Some teams may be wiped out if they fail.

I would have to say that the outlook was sweet.

"Hey, Nao-san. Do you have any idea how many enemies there are in this underground waterway?

I ask Nao.

"I can't. There are boundaries everywhere, and I can't sense them."

"Wow, there might still be rats."

I don't like Lino's face.

"But we have to move on. We need to figure out what she's up to."

Reggie said that, and Sahoko and Reno looked disgusted.

I do wonder what she's trying to do, but somehow I don't like it.

I look at Ratman when I exhale.

Ratman is an ex-human, so he fainted without killing.

Speaking of which, can't you undo it?

"Speaking of which, hey, Sahoko-san. Can you put this ratman back on?

"If it's a curse, I think I can undo it... I'll try."

Sahoko chants magic.

Then Ratman's face returns to that of a middle-aged man.

"That's Sahoko-san! I'm back to being human!!

Nao gets excited.

Looks like it can be undone. This is a great harvest.

"But you can't take him like this."

Reiji looks at the man and says.

That's true. There may be a big battle ahead. Do not take those who cannot fight.

"That's true. What am I supposed to do? Yes, Sir De Kius. I'm sorry, but could you escort this man with Shizufe and the others?

I look at Dekius and say.

To be honest, Dekius is a tight man. As long as the number of enemies is small, powerful enemies await us from now on.

Information from the monster revealed that there was a high-ranking Damon behind the canal.

It is difficult to fight while protecting them.

"But, Lord Chiyuki. I care about Shenna. And we need to see what the Moonlight Goddess is up to."

But Dekius lays his neck down.

"But you're right. Lord De Kius....."

Reggie stops trying to convince me to do something.

"Let me be clear. Get your feet together!!

Rage said clearly.

"It's going very slowly. If the Moonlight Goddess is in trouble, it may be too late. Is that all right?

Dekius shuts up about Reggie's words.

A few seconds later. Dekius shakes his head vertically.

"... I see. Retreat with this man. But what about the other rat men?

Dekius looks at the fallen ratman and says.

"He's not back, so he probably won't be attacked. Don't worry, I'll keep my boundaries together."

Well, thank you very much for your sister.

Dekius lowers his head and puts the man back on his shoulder.

Shizufe-san. Give my regards to Sir De Kius. And keep an eye on Ainoe. "

"I see. Leave it to me."

Shizufe followed Dekius. Of course Ainoe is with us.

I thought it might help, but the enemy's attacks are getting more intense. I can't take you any more.

That's why I'm letting you go.

Shizufe and the others go back the way they came.

Now it's just us.

I think that was a little too much.

Reggie tells me.

"No, there's nothing I can do about it. And if you think about the possibility that Mr. Shenna might have been turned into a ratman, you'd better go home."

Everyone nods when I say so.

"Now that you're light, let's move on, guys."

We move on to the underground waterway.

◆ Water Brave Nephim

You've managed.

We've just escaped the Ratman raid.

"Without Lord Nephim, we would have been destroyed. That's the water hero."

One of the freedom fighters praises me.

"How many people are left to fight?

"Put in Lord Nephim. Four of you."

"Really, it's tough....."

Our team consists of twelve.

The Light Warrior entered the groundwater from a different location.

Then, moving on, he met Giant Slug and encountered a large number of Ratman.

We fought back, but there were many. So I retreated, but the return route was blocked, so I decided to go through a different channel.

I don't know where I am now because of this.

Still, there are a lot of rats. 200 Freedom Warriors is not enough. We need more manpower.

I don't think he hid the information intentionally.

Perhaps the general didn't expect so many monsters.

A lot of damage has been done.

Perhaps the other squads have seen the same thing.

I feel signs of approaching there and hold my spear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take your weapons. Someone's coming."

I look behind the canal.

Eventually, you can see the light of pine light from the back of the waterway. It is humans that come close.

"I saw the light of the pine lights, so I thought it was someone, but it's Nephim the Water Brave."

"You are Gordon, the brave man of the earth."

It was Gordon and his companions, the brave men of the earth, who approached us.

"You've had a rough time, too."

"Yeah, you too."

"Looks like there's a lot of rats."

"That's right. There's no escape."

We have dark expressions.

"I'm counting on the Light Warrior."

Gordon's right. We're doomed as it is.

If there is a chance of survival, the Light Warrior will do something about it.

I think of a hero of light. A jealous man surrounded by beautiful women.

They are strong. So you'll have to believe it.

That's how we looked up to heaven.

◆ War Maiden Shizufe

"Hey, Novis! You carry it on behalf of Master Dekius!!

Returning to the path of the underground waterway. I tell Novis.

Novis is more powerful than Dekius.

That's why Novis should carry a man back from Ratman.

"Yeah, why, Shizufe. If you're a cute girl, I don't want to carry a son of a bitch."

Novis says with a disgusting face to me.

"It's good, Lord Shizufe. Lord Novis is stronger than I am. I may encounter a monster on my way back. Therefore, we should not deplete Lord Novis' health."

When Dekius said so, Novis looked proud.

"Look at that! Shizufe! That's what Dekius's husband said!!

"Mhh!!"

I regret Novis' attitude.

"Both of you, please stop fighting. I can't be alarmed yet."

Reilia shouted in amazement.

"Hmm, what are you talking about? Let go of me!!

Ainoe looks at us and makes a moody voice.

"Sorry, Ainoe. Hey. I can't let you go."

Kaina's sister said while pulling the rope that tied Ainoe.

"Can I say such a thing? I think it's better to let me go."

Ainoe smiles invincibly.

"Stop, everybody!!

Nora screams.

"What's the matter, Mr. Nora?

Nora is looking carefully ahead.

The only lights are the magical lights that lit up above Maddie's wand. This is what Chiyuki said he would need when he came back.

However, unlike the magic of the light strip, this magical lighting only brightens the surroundings.

Now I don't know what's in the back.

"You're an elf to me."

Shadows appear from the darkness.

Shadows alone look human.

But the head of those who appear is not man.

It is a large black goat's head from the neck to the top of a body that is muscular and bigger than a human.

That's why you'll have to say it, not people.

"Shh... Lesser Damon"

I shake my head when Maddy doesn't believe me.

Lesser Damon is a demon, albeit subordinate. It is much stronger than man.

That is hindering our way home.

"Surrender. If you do, I'll keep her alive."

Lesser Damon points his sword at us like a big sword.

"What do we do, Shizufe?

Kaina asks anxiously.

"I'll fight. It's the only way."

I pull out the sword. We have no choice but to. Even if you say you won't take a woman's life, you can't surrender even though you don't know what you're going to do.

"That's definitely the only way. I can't surrender to the devil."

Master Dekius lowers the man in charge, makes him sit with his back against the wall, and then pulls out his weapon.

Each one of my friends gets a weapon.

"Wait, Damon! I don't care what happens to her life!!

Keena's sister leans forward with the spear tip facing Ainoe.

A cowardly hand. But I can't say that.

"Dear Zeal, I was sure you would come and help me. Haah!!"

Suddenly the rope tied to Ainoe fell to the ground. And Kaina's sister jumps sideways.

"Uhh...."

Kaina's sister is holding her hand with her spear down.

"Kaina sister!!

I come to see my sister, Kaina. Keena is bleeding from her sister's arm.

Ainoe has a jazzy sword in her hand.

"This sword is called a belt sword. I can carry it around my waist. From now on, you'll have a good physical examination."

Ainoe stood beside Lesser Damon laughing.

"Now the hostages are gone. Now what do you do, people?"

Lesser Damon laughs.

"Shizufe! They're coming from behind!!

Turning around, a lot of Ratman comes out with a weapon.

I got pinched.

They won't attack soon or they won't move.

They're probably going to catch us alive.

I saw multiple rat mans coming out from behind Lesser Damon.

"Shizufe. I'll open the breach. Run for it."

Novis holds a big sword he loves.

"Hey, Novis. Are you going to use that?

"Of course. What if we don't use the beast's inspiration here?

Novis says with a serious face.

Novis is a veterinary warrior serving Lord Toles, the god of power and battle.

"Thou shalt not be a beast." That's what Thors taught me.

The warriors who serve Master Toles do not like living in the walls of the castle. It is good to live in the outdoors where there are many monsters.

Warriors fight with beasts and beast furs without wearing armor. From there we call ourselves Beast Warriors.

As a result, few countries have a Temple of Thors. Basically, churches are often outdoors.

The Beast Warriors form a church around the Beast Priests in the open air. Then, they move around in search of places with many monsters.

The beast warriors are very thankful to the countries that have suffered a lot from monsters.

After all, the Beast Warriors don't ask for money. They say countries with low monetary revenues are saved thanks to them.

There is beast inspiration in the secret magic used only by such beast warriors.

Draw a dye made from the blood of a vicious beast on your body as a tattoo. Then you will be able to gain the power of that beast. That's the beast's inspiration.

It seems that it is difficult to get inspiration from this beast, and it seems that he may die as a result of his tattoos. As a result, you can tape your body little by little. However, talented people will get all tattoos in a short period of time.

There are several kinds of beast inspiration, such as bear inspiration, wolf and lion.

And if you use your ability to zoom in to maximize the inspiration of the beast, your power will multiply and become a powerful warrior.

However, the problem is that if you use beautification, it can sometimes run wild.

Running away loses sight and attacks allies. For this reason, they are sometimes called Mad Warriors rather than Beast Warriors.

Novis has joined the Beast Warriors in the past to inspire beasts. Novis was talented, and usually took nine years to inspire the beast.

The beast Novis got inspired by pigs. A powerful charge is gained by beautifying.

Novis was called a red pig before he got the title of Warrior of Fire.

Novis is about to activate it.

"Uuuuu!!

Novis' tattoos pulsate like blood.

Your body muscles swell up and fangs come out of your mouth.

"Please, don't run away...."

I told Novis, but he didn't hear me.

"What are you doing? Surrender or not!!

Lester Damon panicked to see how Novis was doing.

"Haaaahhhhh!!!

Novis raises his sword and pushes it into Lesser Damon.

"What the hell!!

Lesser Damon blows when Novis attacks him.

"Dear Zeal!!

Einoye brings Ratman with her.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one you're dealing with."

Mr De Kius confronts Mr Einoye.

"I'm sorry, but I won't let you go."

Kaina's sister, who was cured by Reilia, stood beside her.

"Everybody, behind me, please! I'll cover Novis!!

Novis is a defenseless samurai. If you don't cover me, I'll die soon.

"Please, goddess Reina. Protect Novis."

I use the magic given to me by Reina. The Goddess' Shield protects the subject from all attacks.

The goddess Reina is the same martial arts god as Thors.

Unlike Thors, however, he is the god of protection. Rena-sacred symbols are carved on the walls of every country.

That's why I pray to Lady Lana. Protect Novis.

Novis' body is wrapped in light.

Prevent Ratman from attacking when Light attempts to attack Novis. Meanwhile, Novis wields out the Ratman with a great sword.

The blown Lesser Damon also rose and headed for Novis.

Behind you is the sound of a fierce battle.

It's a pretty tough fight. But I won't give up until the end.

"Goddess!! Give them courage!!

I use the magic of courage. You should be able to face any difficulties without fear.

We have the protection of the Goddess. Are you sure you'll lose?

◆ Dark Knight Croki

"Is this the house of the witches, Croki?

Coona listens cutely next to her.

"I think so, Kuna. This must be Alima's house."

After hearing from Urim, he waited for Kuna to wake up and looked for Alima's house.

The house seemed to have been hidden by illusion, but I could find it quickly.

After dropping Glorious off, he walked with Kuna to the witch's house.

In front of them is a house with a wooden straw roof. This must be the house of the witch Alima.

This house is very lonely in the woods.

Usually living in a house like this would be eaten by monsters and beasts.

However, the witch who lived here was powered by Damon.

According to Urim, the witch Alima is not such a bad person.

However, because she is a witch, she has to live in a remote place.

However, it seems to be known to be good, and people from nearby countries may come hiding in the Orthodox and Feria communities.

It seems that Urim has been taken care of several times about Effa.

I look at the talismans around the house.

The talisman has two squares overlapping. This is the holy seal of the Demon King Modes.

In other words, the person who made the contract with this witch must have a connection to Demon King Modes.

Confirm that and you will become the Dark Knight. Because I thought this figure was easier to talk to.

The door suddenly opens as we approach.

An old woman comes out of the door.

Perhaps if someone had come, they would have known. Well, they didn't come hiding, of course.

Wearing a black robe, it looks like a witch.

Tilt your neck there.

The old woman kneels when she sees herself.

"Great Demon King, what can I do for you?"

"No, please raise your face. This is where I came all of a sudden. Are you Arima?

The old woman looks up when she asks.

"Yes, I'm Alima."

"I'm sorry for the unexpected visit. Actually, I need to ask you something."

I greet politely.

"Yes, what is it? Great Dark Knight!!

Alima answers with her eyes wide open.

I think it is a little too much force.

"Witch Alima. In fact, I want to know the name of Damon who signed the contract with you."

When she asks politely, Alima makes it difficult to say.

I don't know what to say.

"Hey woman. Why don't you answer Croki's question? You want to die?

Kuna puts the sickle on Alima's neck.

"Hey!!!

Alima draws her face with fear.

It's a little too much. Trying to stop Kuna.

But Kuna won't stop.

"Hey woman. Look into Kuna's eyes."

Kuna uses magic.

Alima's eyes became empty.

I exhale. Maybe this is faster after all.

"I signed a contract with Master Mansaid....."

Alima murmurs small.

Mansaids.

I knew the name. It must have been Damon, close to Wolverdo.

Mansaid is a Demon sorcerer. I hear that he occasionally carries out intelligence work outside Nargor on orders from Wolverd.

It may have been then that I made a deal with her.

But if we know where Ulbald is, we may know where Ulbald is.

Don't you know where he is?

"Well.... Do you know where Lord Mansaid is?

"Yes, it's been thirty years since I broke up with Mr. Mansaid. The connection has also become thinner. But I still know where he is. Mr. Mansaid is in the Republic of Ariadia."

Answer clearly.

"Don't you know where the Republic of Ariadia is more specifically because it is large?

"Underground... I think it's probably in the basement."

I was surprised to hear Alima's words.

The groundwater? Why are you in the groundwater?

I get confused.

What do you mean? There must be Raige and the others in the groundwater now.

"Oh, is Wolverd in the groundwater? This is bad luck. Maybe a brave man can do it."

Kuna laughs.

But it's not funny. I don't know why I'm here, but I should go and help.

"Kuna! Hurry back to Ariadia!!
