Shinka no Mi

Chapter 112

“Is it okay?”

“…… Yes . After all, I was finally able to make a difference . In a place like this, I won’t let it end . “

“…… . Is that so . Then, I beg you . ”

“…… . Un . Zeros, Zorua, Rieya, Urs, Rialetta”

『Hah! 』

“…… . With the soldiers of this country, subjugate the monsters . Perhaps, we can communicate with some of them……”

『Please leave it to me! 』

“…… Jade, please be my escort . ”

“I respectfully accept . Please leave it to me . Zeros-chan and Zorua-chan . Don’t fight alright?”

“… …… do a good job” (Zeros-chan)

“Ha…… Temee, Protect Luthia-sama . ” (Zorua-chan)

“I’ll do my best . ”

From the Demon Army, everyone except Jade went to subdue the monsters .

Lester, who looked at the situation with a grin, opened his mouth as if to boast .

“Oi oi, is the number of people enough? Unlike last time, I collected only S-Class monsters now . And, the same apostles as me are holding it . ”

“! Was the previous large invasion caused by you …!”

“Tha~ts ri~ght! Well, everything was killed and the plan went out of order . ”

In addition to Lester who says so with a little bit sulky, the S-class adventurers also began to move .

“Your Majesty . We’re going to subjugate the monsters, too . After all, we’re used to dealing with monsters . ”

“It would be better for me to hit that creepy bastard over there . Well, this time, it seems to be dangerous, so I’ll go out there and subjugate too . ”

“That’s right . But if everyone goes to subjugation, then I’ll be here to protect your Majesty and deal with him . ”

Eust casually turned his sharp gaze to Lester, who was still smiling frivolously .

Looking at such Eust, Oval nodded

“It’ll be fine if Eust remains . I’ll take care of the rest, got it?”

“Yes! Oval-san, please do your best! …… your companion . ”

Oval realizes that Eust is looking at the S-class adventurers with distant eyes, and in the same manner, he looked at the S-class adventurers as well .

“……… . I don’t want to go after all…… . ”

“Tha, that’s okay! Please do your best!”

“……Ah, I understand! It seems that the demons and humans are likely to get along, I’ll do it too! Ora, Nem! You’ll fight over here!”

“……Nn? I-ya-, do-n’t wa-n-na…… Zzz”

“Don’t sleep while being dragged!”

“Ah, please pick up Elemina-sama and Afros-san on the way!”

When Eust called out over his back, Oval fluttered his arms and went out .

Who remained in the room were, only Ranze and Luthia, and Jade and Eust who were entrusted to be their escort .

“Oi oi, it surprisingly decreased . Is it okay? That’s…”

“Ara? You’re thinking this isn’t enough? On the contrary, I don’t have any problem with it at all . ”

“That’s right . I think that’s enough . Rather, do you think you can win with two-on-one?”

“……I don’t mean that . ”

In response to the two of them, Lester had a ferocious smile for the first time .

And, an ominous aura overflows from Lester’s body .

“Well then . Let’s do it right away…… let’s kill each other!”

The moment he said that, Lester’s body became two .

“Wha!?”

In that sight, Ranze and the others gasped .

““Gyahahahahahaha! Isn’t that a good expression! So, why don’t we increase a little more? ““

From there, four people, eight people… . . As he said, Lester’s body increased with momentum as he filled the room .

『Come now, you can’t say that this is two-on-one!? 』

In the end, Lester became 30 . (TN: Not his age)

And then――――

“Is it fine now? Then I’ll take care of you by myself . ”

『Ah? 』

Jade said he would take care of him alone .

“Are you alright being alone?”

When Eust says so, Jade turns a feverish gaze .

“Ara, no, Are you worried about me? I’m glad! But it’s okay . I can handle this alone . ”

“Is, is that so…”

Eust felt danger from Jade, not from Lester . (TN: Danger for his chastity that is!!)

Surely, Lester, who didn’t think that there was no reaction so far, exudes his anger .

『…… Oi oi, Don’t you understand the situation? Far from 30 on 2, you’re saying that 30 on 1 is okay to you? 』

“Of course, I understand it, right?…… . You’re ready, aren’t you?”

『Ah? 』

Suddenly, Jade’s atmosphere changed .

From Jade’s body, a mysterious magical power began to flow .

It was, also a signal for Jade to reveal his whole power .

Jade asks Luthia in his usual soft tone .

“Luthia-sama . I will release my powers . ”

“……Un . Good luck . ”

“―――― your will . ”

At that moment, the mysterious magic enveloped the entire room .

◆ ◇ ◆

“――――【Demon God’s Cult】, right… . . ”

“Do you know them?”

Oval dragged Nem who was still asleep, and joined both Elemina and Afros along the way after separating with Eust .

There are now S-class adventurers and also the members of the Demon Army, who were talking in front of the castle to share information .

Elemina, who heard the end of the story, frowns her eyebrows for a moment, but she immediately returned to her original expression and began to speak .

“Eh . I, think you know I’m the Queen of this country, but I love adventures . Me and my husband…… my encounter with Ranze was also as an adventurer . The very reason I was able to work not as a queen, but as an adventurer, it’s all thanks to Ranze . That’s why, I wanted to be Ranze’s power at least a little, and I studied a lot of things from other countries alongside my adventures . Among them, there was always a word that could be heard in any country . And that’s――――”

“The 【Demon God’s Cult】?”

“Yes . The details of their members were unknown, and nothing was known except that their purpose was the revival of the Demon God*……” (TN: Evil God)

“Something like that exists ……”

“Yes, they seem to be moving very actively recently, and gradually, the reality of that organization came into view . Their purpose is still the resurrection of the Demon God, but the way to do that is…… by collecting 【Negative】 emotions . ”

“……That guy certainly said that too……”

Zeros remembered Lester’s words .

“Sadness, anger, hatred …… By collecting 【Negative】 feelings like they said, the Demon God will be resurrected . “ (TN: Demon God = Evil God, I’m going to use this terms interchangeably)

“In the first place, what is that Demon God? Even we, demons, have never heard of it . Does it have anything to do with us?”

When Zorua asks, Elemina shakes her head .

“No, it has nothing to do with the demons . Certainly, the king who leads the demons is called the Demon King, but the Evil God is completely different from that . ”

“So, what the hell is that?”

“A God . ”

“What?”

In those words that were simply told, not only Zorua but also everyone else has an amazed expression in their faces .

“God? Is it like the Black Dragon God (TN: Kuro Ryujiin) who is also in the demon army?”

“No, it’s not . I’ve read the story of Black Dragon God in literatures, but it’s just that they’re superior to humans and other races, and is not really a God in a true meaning . “

“The true…… meaning …?”

In the middle of becoming increasingly confused, Elemina continues without concern .

“Even before the literature on which the Black Dragon God appeared…… The story of this star before is that it was abandoned by the gods . Speaking so far, Don’t you guys understand?”

“Wa, wait a minute! In other words, the Evil God is…”

“That’s right, once defeated by the battle of ancient gods, one pillar of God―――― That’s the god that the 【Demon God’s Cult】 worships . ”

『……』

To the large scale of the situation, including the S class adventurer as expected, all of them had no choice but remain silent .

“We need to be more careful this time . A group that worships a real god? I don’t think the power of the Apostles is to be reckoned with . In that sense, don’t you have to go to your lord’s escort?”

When Elemina asks the members of the Demon Army, Reiya opened her mouth .

“Zorua and Zeros are certainly powerful enough to be an escort . I, Urs, and Rialetta are not strong enough to completely protect Luthia-sama . Compared to that, the one who remained, Jade, is the strongest of us along with Zorua …… I don’t have to worry . ” (TN: so that guy really is the strongest among the demons!?)

“That’s right . That guy can do it, and even if we’re there, the results will be the same . Besides, this one looks more dangerous . ”

“…… I agree . ”

“Yes . Then it looks okay . ”

When they’re talking about that, suddenly, outside the city walls, a terrible sound rang out .

When they look in that direction, from the top of the wall that exceeds 50 meters, they saw a jet-black flame rising .

“It was nice that this Terviel was a walled city . You can see the final line of defense . …… Well, it seems that the 『Black Holy Knight』 is doing his best, I’m going over there . Everyone should split up and scatter in all directions . ―――― Everyone, should return safely, okay?”

『Yes! 』

When Elemina was satisfied with everyone’s reply, she chanted a certain magic .

“『True Thunder God’s Attire』”

Then, an armor made up of lightning with a sharp impression was worn throughout her body .

This is Ranze’s wife and Roberto’s mother, with the figure of an S-class adventurer called [Thunder Empress] .

“Well then, I’ll go first . ”

As Elemina said those words, she literally flew over the surrounding roof at the speed of lightning .

When they see her off, Reiya asks as she suddenly remembered .

“Now that you mention it…… We would be fine because Jade is guarding, but what about you?”

『Eh? 』

In Reiya’s words, all of the S-class adventurers tilted their heads .

“Look…… It might be rude to say this, but he who remained as a guard doesn’t look strong …… “

“Aah, Certainly…… He doesn’t look strong, is it okay for him to be alone?”

Listening to the words of Reiya and Zorua which seems a little difficult to say, the S-class adventurers finally figured out what they were worried about .

And――――

『Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! 』

They began to laugh all at once .

“Eh? Eh?”

To Reiya and the other demon troops who don’t know the reason why they laughed, Oval informs them while suppressing his laughter .

“Isn’t it useless to worry about him? Anyhow――――”

Listening to Oval’s words, the demons were amazed .

◆ ◇ ◆

“Stu… . Stupid…… . !”

Lester was crawling on the ground .

“Ara, Is it over already? That’s too bad . ”

In front of such Lester, was Jade’s figure standing unharmed .

While being stunned, Lester shouted .

“Tha, that’s impossible…… How many clones do you think I have created since then!? Thousands!? Moreover, it’s not just simple clones . It is my alter ego infused with the power of the Demon God-sama!”

When they saw the one-sided violence that had unfolded earlier, Luthia didn’t feel anything in particular because she knew it, but Ranze, who knew nothing, had a dry smile .

“Our Louise and the 『Black Holy Knight』 are also strong, but your vassals are also something else …… that’s, I’ve never seen a guy fighting using 『Magic Power』 itself …… “

“…… Zeros and Zorua are just as strong . ”

“Ha ha …… that’s why even if a large country attacks you guys… . . ”

Jade can materialize and manipulate magic power .

If you listen to it, it sounds like it’s not a big deal, but in fact, it was really outrageous

First of all, let alone his own magic power, even the magic that drifts all over the world is manipulated and materialized .

Also, if he uses the magic that drifts around the world, because it is a magic power that flows in the world, he doesn’t even consume his own magic power .

As a result, Jade was able to attack in all directions without blind spots .

Of course, there are restrictions such as it’s effective range, but it had nothing to do with wiping out Lester’s alter ego .

“That’s amazing…… This is the first time I’ve seen anyone who materializes magic . It seems convenient . ”

Unlike Ranze, after all, as an S-class adventurer, having fought against various crises and difficult enemies, Eust just had such a light impression .

“Well …… Now then, what will you do with this guy……?”

“…… I have a lot of questions to ask, we need to keep him alive . ”

As Ranze and Luthia are discussing Lester’s treatment, Lester began to laugh unexpectedly .

“Ku …… Kukuku …… Gyahahahahahaha!”

“! …… What is wrong with you?”

When Luthia asks so, Lester turns his eyes and grins .

“The last ones to laugh … . . are us . That’s why!”

“What!?”

Suddenly, a 『Shadow』 appeared behind Luthia .

And, one man appears from among it .

“――――On Kreis’s plot, he wanted the Demons side to have a grudge against the humans . And that will happen if I kill you . ”

The one who came out while saying so, was a man with an unkempt hair and a shabby clothes, and he was a scruffy guy with a stubble beard .

But since there was no sign of him suddenly appearing from behind, you can guess that he is an unusual user .

Without any hesitation, such a man swung down the knife at Luthia .

“Luthia-sama!”

Jade tries to make magic materialize right away, but he won’t make it .

Ranze also stiffened to the appearance of the mysterious man and everyone was convinced of Luthia’s death .

――――Except for one person .

“That’s hard to say . ”

Eust pulls the one-handed sword he had on his waist at a speed that can be said to be a god speed, and the man’s knife was blown off in an instant .

“Ha!?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t let you do it, can I?”

Further, with a flowing movement, the distance between the man and himself became close in an instant, the man got screwed down on the spot, and he puts his sword around the man’s neck .

“Yes, let’s be obedient, alright?”

――――S-class adventurer Eust Horazu* (TN: Horrors?)

He usually holds the reins of the perverts around him, and he’s the struggling conscience who’s trying to somehow control the Guild Headquarters .

He has a certain nickname .

【Unparalleled】 (TN: Musou = Unparalleled or peerless, I’m going to use unparalleled in this case)

He was the S-class adventurer who was called the strongest . (TN: Yikes! So the sanest man in the guild is also the strongest… . !)

TN: And that’s it for this week, on the third week of this month is my FINAL DEFENSE so NO UPDATE!! And please wish me luck!!
