From Mightiest Hero to Demon King

The Great River that separates the former kingdom of demons from the kingdom.

Gallius and the others, who came right in front of them, parked the carriage one line.

Quite inland, but with a river width of over three hundred metres. The magnificent flow was gentle, overwhelming as dyeing red in the sunset, but only in a few moments.

While sparing time to fall in love with the beautiful landscape, Gallius and the others were discussing the future.

Three people, Miguel and Lilianea, are spreading a large piece of paper in a carriage. It was in the luggage taken from the mercenary regiment, and Miguel was painting sarcastically with a pen.

A map.

"This is where we were captured last night. From there, we'll go northeast, and now we'll be around here."

They, the people of the woods, observed the stars as they did every night and now determined their position. That's how I continued my journey.

"If you cross the river, forests, wilderness and meadows will continue for a while, and eventually you'll hit the mountains."

"Can you even cross a carriage?

"What? Oh, no. It's pretty steep, so it must be hard. I think it's quicker to get to the same place than to walk over the mountains for a carriage ride if you bypass the north......"

"No, you should throw away the carriage there. Around the north, the Royal Army is in danger of finding us."

Gallius knows where the Royal Army was based and how it attacked the territory during the invasion of the Land of Demons.

On the northbound route, there was one base not far away, which could have caught on to the alert network.

Once you have entered the realm of the Land of the Old Devil, you must continue along a path that does not meet the Royal Army as far as possible.

Because if it comes down to battle, Gallius's burden will increase, and if it comes down to a series of fights, he will do his best.

"Um, Mr. Gallius..."

"What's up?

Lilianea asks, finally, on behalf of Miguel, who has previously refrained from speaking.

"We're still talking on the assumption that we'll be traveling by carriage after we cross the river, but how do we get it to the other shore?

"Right," Miguel nods.

"The Great River flows slowly, so we and the horses can swim across it, but the luggage part doesn't have the structure to pull over the water."

"It's a waste of food, but I'll just have to take as much as I can handle"

I don't know what that is, Gallius says all the time.

"I'll take the carriage. I'm thinking of a way to do that."

"" Huh?

"Instead of pulling the luggage car, I put it on. You can just pull (...)"

"How about... you make? On this occasion?

"That's right. Fortunately, there was a tree stand along the river. Cut the trees there."

I see, and it was Miguel who hit me in the hand.

"There was a rope in the load you took."

"But how about four cars? Is there enough rope?

"If it's not enough, we can substitute it at the root of the tree"

"Dig!? The ground around here, it seemed solid to you along the river? It's pretty deep in the roots to replace the rope, and the shovel they had was kind of on the line..."

"Well, we'll figure it out."

The next morning.

Gallius took a sword out of his luggage. Used, but not so much blade spill.

"No way, a tree with a sword? Whatever it takes, it's impotent."

Miguel, Lilianea and the other elves look anxiously at Gallius.

Only Lippi looked good.

Hold the sword with both hands and drop your hips.

Shubba!

"It really did kill me!" Lilianea can't hide her surprise. The same goes for the other elves.

But Gallius looked at the sword with dissatisfaction.

(That's just how powerful you are. Careful or it will break)

There are several swords, but if something unforeseen happens, the elves will use them as weapons. I didn't want to reduce the number.

You can do it faster with Sylphide Dagger, but I don't want to use my mental powers as much as possible.

At least until one sword goes bad.

Gallius carefully, then boldly chops down the tree and cuts it to the right length. The branches were also cut off, and some round-tails were formed.

Next, Gallius brings a shovel and digs around the cut tree. The ground is solid, as Lilianea said, but [item master] could have dug it without so much bitterness.

The lippies and elves pull through the roots, stringing them together and tying the whole thickness together. After combining several round-tails, the procedure was more or less clear.

"That's pretty much what you're working for!

I'm the only one who can cut trees and dig dirt.

If they proceed to some extent, they can be transferred to the division of labour.

"You have other things to do. Can you help me with my meal?"

"Oh, the food is a bit... If you just cut a tree, I can do it."

Lilianea closed her eyes quietly and something began to snap.

"Hear the Spirit of the Forest, the Spirit of Fire, my voice. Lilianea of Ellen Feel wishes here-"

(Magic chant...? Was this guy a wizard?)

But as far as that spell is concerned, I only have a bad feeling.

"I don't think so, but it wouldn't be flame-based magic, would it? Are you willing to burn it?

"Hih!? Hey, hey, don't be surprised you're concentrating!

If concentration is disturbed to this extent, there is nothing but anxiety.

As Lilianea happened to be in the chant, Gallius gripped Sylphide Dagger to be able to handle whatever happened.

"- Flame, cleave!

From the hand that protruded with the scream, the flame burst into a disc shape. It was accompanied by a shock sound that destroyed the roots of the tree, and another tree was also swept down and disappeared.

The smell of burning will stand, but it will not burn.

"What do you say?

"Surprised. It's abusive, but great power and precision."

Distract your chest well with a hunch. I hadn't paid attention to it before, but it wasn't big or small.

It's just...

"You sweat amazing, huh?

"Why, I'm fine at all! I can afford five or six more shots!

Power is an advanced magic that is difficult to apply and subtract. Even that helps.

"Don't push me too hard, okay?

"That's why I'm fine!

With a touch of anxiety in mind, the work goes well -.

"" Done -!

Lilianea and Lippi hi-touch to raise their joy. Other faces made me laugh zero.

The carriage rose once and reassembled the part connecting the horse. This will make it easier for the horse to pull.

We decided to cross it even if it was somewhat dangerous because it was already sunset, but while it was bright we could be discovered by someone even from a distance.

Float the river and sail away quietly.

The flow is slow, so it was going well for a while.

"Hmm? One, you're flushed"

The last one out. Gallius noticed how he rode.

Lilianea's on board.

Out of the three heads I'm pulling, one looks strange. He stretched his neck long from the water and shook it left and right.

Gallius winds up at Sylphide Dagger and moves over there.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Even as Lilianea spoke to the horse, there was no sign of quiet. I get distracted by the two remaining heads, and I can't get them cleaned up.

says the elf man who was on board.

"We have to disconnect him."

"But can you pull just two heads? In the worst case scenario, we'll have to throw this away. Let's swim and move on to the rest."

Gallius enters into a serious conversation between the two.

"Lilia, are you good with horses?

"It's Lilianea. Don't call me casual."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Let's be careful. So? What do you think?

Lilianea does well. I answer with my chest stretched all the time that you asked.

"Hmm, I'm better at horseback riding than your brother."

"Then disconnect the rampant horse and let me swim you to shore somehow. The two remaining heads. I want someone else on board to let me swim to shore"

"... you give up loading. I can't help it."

No, I'll take you to the other shore.

"What? I can't believe it's such a big thing, human power. - Ah! Could it be..."

Liliane saw the dagger Gallius was holding.

Gallius makes me laugh more.

"That's right. Carry it with this guy's power. I just can't lift it, but if I let it slide over the water, I can handle it."

In fact, I managed.

Rather, it was Gallius who reached the shore the earliest.

The detached horse also manages to calm down and arrive on the shore.

"Really, it's convenient enough."

"Whatever. It's a national treasure sword."

"I'm not... you are. A lot, the... thank you. Thanks to you."

She has a crush on me, but I don't forget to thank her, and I think Galius wants to apprentice that it's always in words to tell them.

"Ma, good luck for now. Get some rest."

"Oh, let me..."

Gallius, quite shredded of mental strength, was there for dinner too, to sleep.

One line was safe, and we succeeded in crossing the Great River...
