He Didn't Want to Be the Center of Attention, Hence, after Defeating the Demon Lord, He Became

After finishing his conversation with Eileen and breaking up with her, Cody Brannage secretly left King's Landing for the southwest border.

Silver Bottle Pavilion has several bases throughout the Kingdom of Albain as well as King Alvinas. Between those nodes, you can interact with each other through the Transfer Magic Team.

A Magic Crystal containing the Magic of Metastasis is required to install the Magic of Metastasis. This magical crystal uses what was excavated from ancient ruins, etc., but even if it can be used, the principle has not been elucidated.

Therefore, the magic crystal of Transfer Magic has a high rarity value and cannot be traded with gold. Silver water bottle pavilions were vigorously investigating ruins and ancient labyrinths at some point, and possessed eight of them, including those already installed.

One of them was located in a post town near the southwest border, which helped Cody take action at the request of the Silver Bottle Pavilion.

Only the deputy commander, Marlo, knows that Cody has left King's Landing. But Cody told the maid who served his house, "I'm sick and I'm late for the Knights. I only gave him an envelope saying," I'll be back by noon the next day. "I never told Marlo where I was going or what I was going to do. It was a bet to get back before he got suspicious, but it was an act of faith in the information from Larg that" Velvekia will attack tomorrow ".

As Eileen taught him, Cody went to the silver water bottle pavilion and led Verlaine down to the brewery underneath the shop. Verlaine looked at the shelves of the famous wine bottles lined up and removed one bottle and pushed the trick behind it.

In the back of the room, a wall decorated with a painting of a woman with a bottle slowly spins - a hidden door.

"I see... I was told to go in and out the back door. I didn't know there was such a secret."

"When your husband is in the shop, he's like a gatekeeper here, so there's nothing to worry about. Even though I retired, I'm an ex-Demonic King. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't lose if someone came after the metamorphosis crystal."

"Once upon a time, your dark magic made me struggle. This is the first time I've been bleeding."

"You didn't try to kill me, even though it was bloody. If I'd waved my sword with all my might, I'd have been cut into eight pieces."

It was the first time the two of us had talked about the battles of the past. Verlaine was the owner, Cody was the customer, and always kept that distance.

"Dick had been thinking before he fought you, after the Demon King Crusade. If I kill you, the Demons will never stop hating Albain until the end. After entering the kingdom of the devil, he saw and heard everywhere, and he made that decision."

"... three months into the demon kingdom. I thought the goal was to make the defenses of the Demon King Castle less chaotic, but your husband was looking at my country. What people are and what thoughts they have."

"He said it was time to move the token to you, but all four of them, except Dick, wondered why they weren't heading for the Demon King Castle, and there was a collision. But he convinced us that we needed to be prepared to do our part with minimal effort."

I find it hard to believe that Verlaine reached the age of thirteen for the idea. Although Dark Elves lived a long time, Verlaine was also called premature, gaining talent from his twenties and assuming the throne in a manner that accelerated the departure of the former king. From her point of view, it seemed to me that Dick had lived longer than himself.

"It's only natural for your husband. It is the shortest for him to go far from his surroundings, and it has never been the case. That's why I wonder... why I don't know who Lord Cody is."

"The ladies of nobility were waiting for me to go to the party..." You're a bad person too. "

"There are no men or women who are really attractive. It is not uncommon for a brave woman to get involved with a woman in the court. Some of those who served me were only interested in homosexuality."

"I'm sure Dick suspects me, too. Maybe it would be just right if we didn't have to meet."

"Master is admired by guild members, but few people can talk with forgiveness. Master Cody is one of them, so I'd appreciate it if you could come through. He looks like he's 18 years old when Lord Cody arrives... well, let's not have a chat."

Verlaine invites Cody into the room beyond the hidden door. There was a large metamorphosis crystal floating in the air, and a complex pattern - a magical formation - was depicted on the floor below it.

"This is the magic of transfer… can anyone use it?

"It's a rough guide, but you can't start a magic team unless you have more than 20,000 magic ratings in this country. Master is conditioning it."

"Until then, Dick...."

"Master can draw a magical formation that cannot be activated without a certain amount of magic. It performs the opposite effect of Reinforcement Magic and sets the" Gate (Limiter) "that narrows the magic of the magician to one hundredth. If we can get through it, we can activate it. Master Cody also meets all the requirements for magic."

"No, I'll leave the magic to everyone else. There's only one magic I can use, and trying to learn other magic won't work. [M] The magic of metastasis is best activated by you."

Verlaine understands that Cody is not modest, but really doesn't use anything but 'one magic'. There was only one sign of spirits from Cody, and there was no trace of using magic to summon elemental spirits such as fire or water.

Yes - there is only one Spirit Cody has contracted. Prior to that, Verlaine fell on her knees.

"The destination is inside the border, but is that okay? We can't let the Velveteens in the border."

"Climb the border wall and end the battle where the Velveteens are visible. That's what I specialize in. [M] Only demon kings like you can take a hit if you don't get in time."

"Can I say it's an honor… Should I be happy to survive a melee battle with the Light Sword brave? No, I suppose you should be ashamed of being a pain in the ass."

"That's not true. We're the five of us, and we finally got you down."

Cody smiled refreshingly and asked Verlaine to shake hands. Verlaine took off her right glove and grabbed back the brave man's hand.

"Good luck. When your husband returns, please report his success."

Verlaine activates the Magic Faction. Cody's vision is wrapped in light and dyed white.

And after the light faded, the view in front of Cody changed. In front of him stands a mage of age. Cody decided that he was a member of the Silver Bottle Pavilion.

"The Alliance Master has contacted us. Is there anything we can do to help, Your Highness?"

"I need to ask you something. And... here's what you call me." The Masked Savior. "

"I'm so sorry about this... but that person and his people are in a ruined state of thinking."

Cody wears a red coat and a yellow mask to keep silver armor out of sight. The male wizard smiled with his wrinkled eyes as he disguised himself as flashy and eye-catching.

◆ ◇ ◆

Cody moved to the post town near the border, a few moments later.

A flashy masked figure appeared near the border fort before dawn. Asked by the guards, he did not answer anything, and repeatedly jumped up the outer wall of the fort using his fearsome body skills, and in an instant he reached its summit.

"No, what are you doing! Get out of there!

"This is a good place for irrelevant people to come... wow! Attack, attack, attack!

"To the west, the army... ah, the Velveteen army...!

As the guards on the Velveteen side began to make noise, Cody admitted the presence of the Velveteen army from the roof of the guard tower at the fort to the plains of the still dim west.

An army of approximately 50,000 cavalry, infantry, and siege weapons. Berbecchia intended to attack Albain without the help of Vincent.

With vast prints in the northern part of the continent and rich mineral resources and barn areas, Albain was fascinated by the land conditions of a large river running north-south through the country and abundant groundwater.

Water was precious to the people of Berbekia, and it was a cause of strife and strife. Currently, there are nine nationalities united and named a republic, but the fact is that the Galava, with their powerful horsemen, merged with the other tribes one by one to form a state, essentially a military dictatorship.

But the military state, Berbeccia, succumbed to more force and has long been exploited by other countries.

To the further west of Velvekia lies the territory ruled by the S-ranked Demon King. The Demon King once entered the territory of Velvekia and returned a village to the ashes. It was an event that prepared the people of Berbekia for the demise of the country.

The Demon King did not invade any further and demanded a tribute. He attacked the village not to destroy it, but to take it.

The long-suffering Velveteens nevertheless poured their national power into the military and formed the Black Cavalry. He thought that the human kingdom still had a better chance of winning than challenging the demon king's kingdom to a decisive battle.

Belvekian generals and soldiers had entrusted hope to this war. I believed that Galava, who once pacified nine peoples, could not have succeeded in swallowing another nation, the kingdom of Albain.

However, they were not informed.

That Albain's peace was gained by crushing SSS-ranked Demon Kings.

Vincent didn't tell them. I only listened to what was convenient for Belbeccia, and Belbeccia also did not believe in Vincent, an exotic people.

So, how did you think you could win? Cody was not angry, he was in pity.

At the same time, the soldiers marching forward hoped that none of them would waste their lives.

"--Guards of Albain, don't move!

With the effect of the mask, Cody's voice was changing like someone else. The low voices overwhelmed the guards.

"What are you talking about... the enemy is attacking us! In that army..."

"Come on, run! Drop the fort and run, and we'll be saved!

A few soldiers fleeing out loud. Cody had instructed the Guild members of the Silver Jar Pavilion who had been brought to the fort to hold them captive.

The Knights of Albain have no escape in front of their enemies. As a Knight Commander, Cody regretted that a rebel had appeared among his men, but that was also a reflection that would lead to the future.

"Velvechia... this time, I'm going home. Eventually, the time will come for you to be saved."

That Dick Silver can't be left alone knowing the existence of a demon king that threatens his neighbors.

He will be able to defeat the Demon King in a distant place without moving a step from the tavern.

He would take it for granted, as he has done so far. Cody doesn't doubt it.

As dawn approaches, the sun begins to rise from far behind Cody.

Shizukuishi shined on the white cheeks under the mask.

Cody didn't even know why.

"Can I be a token for you... Dick?"

Speaking with an unreachable voice, Cody was exposed to the sun on his back and held his hand in front of him.

Silent chanting - I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't learned it as a child.

(I'm sure I couldn't fool you, but I was... thought to be a 'strange woman'.)

He may have disbelieved in men, disbelieved in Dick, behaved worse than Miralka, and hated him.

Or, no matter what happens, I think Dick will open his heart.

(When I think about that, I feel kind of ridiculous. You're really....)

Cody spoke the real name given to him by his parents, who kept him in captivity for a long time without worrying about the tears flowing.

"Petition in the name of Cordelia Brannage. Swordsman Ragna, give me the Sword of Light...!

Cody was a pseudonym from when Cordelia was measured in adventurer strength and became an SSS-ranked adventurer.

On the journey of demon king crusade, I did not name the true name, but called the light sword with a silent chant. It's just to fool Dick.

The Sword Spirit is called the "Specific Spirit", and unlike the Elemental Spirit, it is said to exist only in the world. Cody - When Cordelia first made a covenant with the Spirit, she was chosen by the Swordsman and became a contractor.

One of the magical swords brought about by the power of the sword spirit is the Light Sword (Light Blade).

It also has the side of a sword with a blade of light attributes, which was used in that way in the battle against Verlaine.

However, the true appearance of Cordelia's light sword is "light itself."

Use it in the form of a sword in Melee Combat to maximize its power, but you don't necessarily have to focus on that form. What happens when you use it as a weapon with the nature of light itself?

― ― Light Sword Light Blade Ultra Long-Range Light Bullet Horizon Barrett ―

After the shape of the light sword changes and converges into the shape of two light bullets, the light bullets disappear.

Almost simultaneously, the Velveteen flag was ejected, and the Commander-in-Chief's helmet nearby flew with a strange noise.

Reaching the enemy at the speed of light, the two projectiles ejected almost simultaneously at the exact target location.

With the help of the Sword Spirit, Cordelia is able to see and target precisely from where she is to where the light reaches. In other words, the range is theoretically infinite as long as the light reaches. The light created by the power of the Spirit does not refract like normal light.

"What... the Velveteens are confused...!?

The army that kept marching ran upset. We will reach the border in half an hour and have enough troops to break through the fort. But they stopped walking.

"That army stopped... did the masked one do something...?

"Stupid, what can you do at this distance?"

"But it looks like I did something... * giggle *, the sun is dazzling."

Knowledge of the use of the Light Sword will lead to identification. Cordelia was listening nervously to Albaijan soldiers while watching the Velveteen army move. It is possible that they will not lose their battle simply by shooting through the Commander-in-Chief's helmet.

- But the Velveteens were far less resistant to unknown fears than Cordelia thought.

"Running away..."

"The whole Velveteen army... what do you mean...?

An army that risked everything to attack loses its war. Cordelia doesn't remember how to reprimand her.

My powers have always been feared. When he contracted with the swordsman and was made aware of his power, even his strong brother looked afraid of Cordelia. An SS-ranked adventurer was afraid of a five-year-old girl.

Cordelia breathed in to the soldiers confused by the unexpected, thinking of the line that Dick would say.

"I just shot through the helmet of the enemy General Commander! All right, soldiers! We, the Masked Saviors, don't expect to save our lives again and again! Brace yourself, prepare your enemies, and continue your daily training!

Cordelia jumps from the roof of the sentry tower to the bottom of the fort, worrying about the tone of her knighthood.

"The savior of the mask... wow... who the hell are you...?!

"You just shot through the helmet, at this distance... look! Their flag is torn!

"Did he do that too... or was it divinity...?!

The Velveteen flag is torn and is no longer just a large piece of cloth. It was a bet for Cordelia whether that alone would reinforce her remarks, but to some extent she went along with her prospects.

"Guys, if I don't coach you personally later... just because you haven't had enemies for a long time, it's not good to be slack. This is going to have to be a tough training plan."

Cordelia left the fort behind, looking back on herself. With a cool smile on his mouth.

And as he entered the streets some distance from the fort, Cordelia rendezvous with the guild. A male wizard, who was in charge of the magic squad, had taken his men and captured the soldiers who had been bought by Larg.

"Congratulations. No, I don't see what's going on here at all. The enemy retreated from the fort."

"Yeah, thanks. Dick's guild is still full of good people. Is that all the rebels?

"There may be people who are in trouble and didn't escape. We'll have to do it later."

"No, I'm going to put a lot of training on all those fort soldiers later. I'm sure you won't betray me anymore if you join. My mentoring and that of my direct reports is a little tough."

Hearing Cordelia's words, the guild members imagined the severity of the training and felt compelled to sympathize with the soldiers. Her enthusiasm - everyone thinks it's "him" - was such that even a group of male adventurers above rank B was robbed of their warfare.

While thinking about taking the captive soldiers to King's Landing, Cordelia used the Transformation Magic Force again and returned to King's Landing. It was about a few hours between the time she left her mansion and dawn.
