From Mightiest Hero to Demon King

Near the snow melt.

An old man of the tribe dressed as a bent but miserable entered the endless woods.

After receiving such a report, Gallius went, and the person was bargaining liquor with the inhabitants in the town of the entrance. The sitting area is transformed into a ballroom.

"Whoa, Lord Gallius. Long time no see."

The old man is a familiar figure of Gallius. It was Danio, the Holy Knight of the Patriarchate.

"When I did it in Glausta, there was a report that a healthy old man was working... but it was still you"

"Well, that's just fast information. So you left me alone."

"Until I took into account the circumstances of those who use pseudonyms. Did you get your feelings sorted?

"... so that the snow can melt. That's why it doesn't suit your sexuality to keep getting lost for the short rest of your life ahead"

When Danio sat down, he put his hands on it.

"Lord Gallius, I would like you to lay low and let me work in this country. I want you to be my Lord."

"I will not reject those who favour this country. But I'm not going to be your lord. I just happen to be in a representative position right now, and the people, including me, are there for the country."

So there's no need for polite discourse either, Gallius continued.

Danio makes a more unyielding grin and wakes up his body.

"Hmm. To the country, huh? The eagle also has shallow to shallow edges for the subhuman. Let's just say it's a knight's honor to serve his country."

"... From the time you were in the Patriarchate, you seemed to have different feelings towards the subpeople than the general population?

"What, it's not even very funny. When I was younger, I took care of Asians."

Danio did not speak much. But I can see some sadness in the expression.

"Anyway, I'm an old man who can only wield his sword, but I don't mind if you use it. Oh, what else is civil work? I've learned a lot in the last few months."

"I can't say anything great because I can't do anything other than deal with items either... right, I'm thinking of doing a big operation soon. You might be in charge of that."

Scattered around the world, the temple's offense.

If we can approach the secrets of this world, we may be able to wipe away prejudice against the subhuman.

"It's painful to let you, the knight, imitate the adventurer..."

"No, no, it's fundamentally different from the treasure eaters. Let me take good care of that."

The two shake hands disappointingly.

That's how the day came...

Danio regretted it just a little bit when it was all sandy.

(No, well, I'm not dissatisfied with the mandate itself, but I didn't know this was a depressing environment...)

Open your mouth and there will be sand. You can manage to keep your eyes open if you keep them narrow, but you'll need goggles.

He wasn't the only one who was pioneering it, and so were the two people who accompanied him.

"Ugh, the sand stuck to my goggles and I can't see the front..."

I wear goggles and cover my mouth with cloth to hide it, so at first glance I don't know where who it is.

She carried a big load of baggage. She's Noet. Draw the blood of the Auga tribe, a girl who looks no different than a human race.

He was an employee and intelligence officer at the 'Kukurn Pavilion' in the city of Gram for a while, but was promoted to this member because it allowed subnationals to come and go to the city state group.

And the other is a young man with a scratch on his cheek.

"You're strongly influenced by the whirlwind as it hides the tower. Wouldn't it be better if we got closer to the tower already?

Remove the goggles, narrow your eyes, and point to the soaring tower. He was an Elf manos who had been an intelligence agent in the urban state group for a long time. The pointy ears that characterize the species have been cut with misfortune in the past.

It was these three men who were sent to the Temple of the Desert "Acadia".

The three approached the tower to escape the wind. The amount of sand grain that hits your face obviously decreases. Right on the side of the tower was windless.

Looking up, the top floor doesn't look sumptuous with smoke. It was dim even though it was daytime.

Danio looks to the front - the entrance to the tower.

(I see. You were as Lord Gallius expected (...))

I pulled the pendant out of my clothes. It is fitted with something like an elliptical crystal.

It is a small transfer device that transfers the slime puree.

I can't have a smooth conversation with my opponent because I go through the puwi. But it was very convenient to communicate the will in real time with far away lands.

When you connect exchanges and make them conversational.

"As your lord expected. The entrance to the tower was open (...)"

"Again? Then it's likely that the desert people and the others are challenging '

The opponent of the dialogue, Gallius tells pale.

Assuming someone had finished attacking another temple, someone would have transferred to "Ilua" or "Ibidilia" with a transfer device and tried to attack them.

For the same reason, Galius believes that the temple in the Rubiales country has not yet been fully attacked.

But so far there has been no way to know to whom other temples are being attacked.

Like this time in the Temple of Acadia, Gallius considered the possibility of 'others being attacked'.

According to information from Kera, a group of people who move and live in the desert are watching to keep the stranger away from them by consecrating the tower.

Are they the ones attacking Acadia or someone else? What's the purpose of that?

'Contact is the best way to explore them... Have you seen anyone, or are there any traces around?

"I haven't seen anyone yet. So far, the only trace of someone coming here is that the entrance is open? Nevertheless, it hasn't been as long since the eagles arrived either. If we get into the tower, there's a chance we'll run into each other.

Gallius thinks with his hands on his chin for a while.

'Right. Then there's the tower offense, and when you meet someone...'

I gave detailed instructions.

The basics are that I decided to visit in "Arm Trial" and I would like to cooperate with you because of the scarcity of supplies. In some cases you may give them all the treasures of the temple.

All we need is the deepest control room and master rights.

"Negotiations are as convenient as possible. They're bad."

"I wish I knew who I was talking to."

The reason why people and the same seemingly Danios were chosen was to assume this situation.

Because if they're human, they won't be trusted by the sub.

"Do you want to go into the tower first? Solemnly strive for the deepest if you do not meet anyone"

'Please. I'll send the supplies if I have to, so don't hesitate to say'

With the transfer device, we can send 'things' as well as people, although it is a one-way street. Confirmed.

"Depending on your offensive situation, the destination will be where you first showed up. I'm sorry I took the trouble to get back out of the tower."

"If that's how it works, it's until you obey. Okay, let's just say I'm coming."

At the end of the conversation, Danio pulled out two swords on his back.

From behind him, two companions follow.

"Bows are hard to use in the building, but I'll take care of the magic support"

"Luggage, I will guard you dead!

The motivated two are a human being by appearance, but the blood of the subhuman is thick and flowing.

(Causal. I didn't know the eagles were going to work for the subhuman kingdom)

Once Danio was saved by one sub-man.

But within the Church, which does not allow the presence of the subhuman, the benefactor was killed before Danio knew it.

I had no choice but to convince myself from that time until recently, but I meet Gallius and work with him in the reconstruction of the city in Grausta to make a difference in my mood.

I want to do something for the subhuman 'They'.

That's what I owe you.

Danio nodded loudly to both of them and turned forward.

One step, two steps and approaching the entrance to the tower, step through a door with a large mouth open.

In the middle of an attack, the guardian beast must be protecting the temple.

Whatever their opponent is, only thrust them with the two great swords they've accompanied for years.

Yes, with intent, a few meters.

……

On the front, there was a white flicker.

"Mr. Danio, that's..."

Manos shivers his voice. Noet sounded his throat in relief.

"Hmm. Apparently, the guardian beast here is ghostly."

"Mr. Danio, please step back! They can't get through a physical attack. For a moment, I magically..."

Danio blocked Manos from coming forward with a sword.

"Physical attacks don't work on them, indeed. But..."

Danio laughed as he did, slashing the ghost with the other sword.

Usually, the person returning to normal as soon as the water is turned off emits a sound like a cry of Warn and the Terminator, and mists.

"They keep their entities in magic. If we give him a state of 'no magic flowing' at its core, it will be."

A pure Adamantite sword with the highest hardness on earth and no magic at all.

"I'm still a former Saint Knight. The undead are my specialty."

Don, and stomped hard on the floor,

"Luckily, this seems to be a battlefield for the eagles. Manos will ask you to escort Noet!

Danio barked softly, pushing straight ahead...
