The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World's Aristocrat

The Demon Clan appeared. It will be my first job as a holy knight.

Tart and Dia, we're both headed to the ground.

... Again, the carriage is slow.

Shall we make it in primitive automobiles next time? That's about all I have to make.

It's just a question of what to do with a bad road run.

Whoa, let's think about it.

"That's your first job. I definitely want to succeed."

"I feel the same way. Just remember that if the Demon Killer junction fails, it's a loss at that point. If you fail, you will escape."

Only the brave can kill the demons.

That's the kind of creature.

It created the magic of twisting and bending that dish. That's the only chance we have, and if that chance is overturned, we're done.

At that time, withdraw.

Of course, we're not just running back. I'm going to take back the ingredients that explore why it didn't work.

"Oh, yeah. That's it, though. I can do that in 30 seconds."

"Is that true?

"Oh, it's terrible to doubt. I'll show you later."

Whether it's thirty seconds, it's huge that anyone but me can use the Demon Killer's Ceremony.

Anyway, while using the Demon Killer junction, the magic consumption is too intense and the fighting power is drastically reduced.

If Dia can handle the activation, we can focus on the attack.

Besides, if you can entrust me with the role of field, I can assassinate you, not fight.

"It's amazing. Well, I couldn't do it at all."

"Tart is in charge of fleshshell warfare, and I'm in charge of magic. My specialty is different. Usually, because I can't do it all like Lug. No matter how much you put up, you have these arms."

That's what Dia says, makes a force kobu but its arms are too thin. Plus, my arms look puffy and soft.

He's working out, but he's a tough guy to muscle.

"And then I loaded the demon killing ritual, and this demon killing, I think I can fly it."

"Fly?"

Dia says if she puts her hand in the shape of a gun. Lovely.

"Yeah, now it expands the field around the operator, right? But it feels like releasing a bullet like this, flying a compressed field, responding to a landing and widening the field. That's what I can do. However, in that case, the effect time will be shorter. Maybe, like, two seconds with me. Even Lug feels like ten seconds is the limit."

... I can't imagine how altering the surgical ceremony would do that.

But if Dia can do it, she can.

Thirty seconds turned into two because, unlike continuing to release itself as a starting point, it would be more of an instantaneous release request than a bullet to release.

"Then please. There seems to be a lot of use. Get it done by the time we get there."

"I'll just try. But don't expect it."

To put it that way, Dia spread the paperwork and started calculating somehow.

I expect it even if they tell me not to expect it.

In the meantime, I'll figure out a way to kill off the Demons in two seconds.

... assassination has a better chance of success.

However, if there is a problem, there is too little information about the demon tribe that has emerged this time. The material handed over by the state is subtle.

I can't make a plan with this. The missing information will have to be compensated locally.

◇

Over the course of a few days the carriage proceeded and reached its destination.

It is on the border with neighbouring countries and is a relatively large town among the local cities.

From the land, it flourishes as a trading base.

It is also a stone attraction and the beautiful stone city is famous as a tourist attraction.

Such a city......

"This is like a jungle."

"Not a single person."

It was covered in green.

A twat is entwined in the houses made of stone, and trees are disturbed in the middle of the street.

Yet there are no signs of life.

Animals are grated, not even worms.

We were staring at the difference from the city entrance.

I'll revise the materials.

At first, they were just one tree, which spread with tremendous momentum and swallowed everything.

The people who fled before they were completely green eroded were helpful.

But after the green erosion, there was no one out of here, and the army went to the rescue, but not even one of those troops came back.

Then I gathered the parasitic plants in the city and tried to burn them down, but I hear that also failed.

The trees don't burn with coarse firepower. Plus, even when it caught fire, it had a powerful regenerative capability and seemed to have little effect.

The operation failed, and there was not one soldier left in the operation, 'eaten green'.

And when the incineration failed, he asked me that it was likely the work of the Demons.

"Hey, Lug. Are we going in here? If it's true that it was eaten green, it's full of enemies."

"I have something to do before I go into the city. Tart and Dia are behind me."

... made one confirmation when accepting this request.

Do we need to help people imprisoned by green erosion?

The response is that the survivors are hopeless and do not care by any means. So I can be a little rough.

Of course, I want to help whatever I can.

But I'm not willing to rush into it helplessly when they say who's not coming home alone, without even knowing the qualities of this forest.

So here, we need an experiment from the outside before we can step in.

"Dia would see it. There's one of these plants."

"Yeah, we live in magic, and they're all so disgusting together. Unless it's all one."

"I have the same opinion. So I'll follow. Watch their magic flow."

Experiment, part one.

First throw warm meat into the city on human skin.

But there's no response whatsoever.

Next, release the livestock pigs bought on their way here towards the city.

It was when the pig entered the city and approached the trees.

"No, no, no!"

The pigs are entangled by the spreads that have stretched from somewhere, and the branches pierce a number of them, squeezing like some kind of joke, eventually only skin and bone.

"Eggs. Is this how the people of the city disappeared?"

"I can't believe trees eat creatures... if there are such dangerous trees all over the city, they're already eaten"

Tart keeps his mouth down.

Eaten by a tree.

And as Tart put it, if all these guys were spreading all over the city, no one would be alive anymore.

I can do the next experiment without thinking about it.

"Dia, why don't you look me in the eye?"

Dia was right about me, watching closely. With the eyes of Towahade obtained in the treatment.

"When I ate the meat, my magic swelled. It's slowly swelling, probably converting nutrition into magic."

In other words, we should assume that these trees were released, by someone, to accumulate magic.

"Okay, the first experiment is good. I found out two things. Next."

Throw a tar in the city with plenty of prepared oil.

It rolls by the way and hits a tree that stood blocking the street.

There's no response at that point.

With that tare on his face, he unleashed a fire arrow.

The barrel cracked, the oil smashed and ignited.

It's a special oil formulated to burn. I can do a giant firepillar.

"I heard you have a powerful playback capability, but not so much"

"But it's normal regeneration. I don't think it's the same unreasonable restoration that Rugg said was specific to the Demons. I'm not immortal at all, because I use a lot of magic."

Restored from the burning end.

But it is on the enhancement of the tree's regenerative power, its extension.

After a while the flames disappear and the trees stand as if nothing had happened.

"If you figure that out, you're good. I'll do it more flashy next time, I'm gonna burn it down."

Remove the foul stone from the porch.

This foul stone was also prepared for today.

Usually, a certain percentage includes the magic power of fire attributes, the magic power of wind attributes, and the magic power of earthly attributes.

As a result, a large amount of wind was blowing into the flames, increasing the explosive power and operating as an extremely powerful bomb that scattered iron pieces.

But the only thing this time is flame and wind. Something that focuses on explosive flames rather than explosions and specializes solely in burning them.

This guy can produce a purgatory that spreads super high temperatures that can't be compared to a glass of tar.

Anyway, it contains three hundred magical powers of general magic.

Magic into the foul stone, it reaches criticality, and the crack begins to enter.

Throw it.

Explosion in the city.

The flames of the Red Lotus spread all at once, swallowing the corner of the city, and purgatory manifests itself.

"Scary, but beautiful"

Tart stared at the flame with a blurred face.

After the flames are extinguished, the trees in the heart of the flames are burned down without any ashes, and the surrounding houses barely leave their prototypes, thanks to the fact that they are made of stone, with the black shadows creeping in.

The shadows are remnants of the trees that were intertwined.

"These aren't the demons themselves."

"Yeah, maybe something created it with that ability."

What I suspected was that all of these trees were part of the Demon clan.

But it's not.

It is nothing but an extremely regenerative tree monster. Probably has an ever-increasing nature in a tangential tree-like way. So all the same magic was flowing.

This fact has a gratifying aspect and a mesmerizing aspect.

If you are part of the Demon Nation, you will not reduce the number no matter what, but you will reduce the number if you are just a demon with powerful regenerative abilities because you use super firepower to play it infinitely where you burn it.

If the trouble was connected to the Demons, they would have tracked it down and found it, but more than not, we have to find the Demons who would be in this wide city.

"Both of you, let's go into the city. I'm looking for the Demons."

"Yes! But isn't it dangerous"

"That's right. I burned a pretty wide area, but it's still full of dangerous trees."

"I'm fine. Not as long as you're near me."

I move forward fearlessly and Tart and Dia stick together with an anxious face.

If you go into the city, you won't be attacked.

That didn't change past the compartment I burned down.

The trees do not move even through close distances.

"What the hell is this all about?

"From earlier on, Lug uses magic, but is it because of that?

"That's right. I would have experimented before entering the city. First, throwing just meat didn't react to the trees. But I reacted to the next pig. Trees don't have eyes, they don't rely on sight to find their prey. Suspicious things are vibration, heat, sound, and breath. With regard to vibrations and sounds, excluded because the meat fell nearby but was not noticed. Excluded because it was warming the first meat to human skin, even with regard to heat. Then all I can breathe. More specifically, the carbon dioxide we emit, that's their sensor."

What I tried in my first experiment was how I was finding prey.

The result is the carbon dioxide that creatures spit out.

"That's why Lug is winding up the surrounding wind and flying it up"

"Oh, that way the trees won't notice, even if they're so close"

Dilute your breath and fly to heaven.

With this degree of magic, the automatic restoration of magic does not catch up with bitterness.

If you do anything to find the Devil's Clan while countless trees attack you, you'll be exhausted before you fight the Devil's Clan.

Plus it's possible that the trees share their senses with the Demons.

To get ahead, you can't do a dong patch with the trees.

First, find the enemy. Best of all, too, before they notice it over there.

That way we can take the lead.

Let's move on.

Fortunately, the trump cards we have available seem highly effective to the Lord here.
