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

The time spent on the eight floors was unexpectedly longer, but I want to reach the eleven floors before the day changes.

Five floors a day, ideally, I just want to move on as much as I can. I hope the pace of Labyrinth exploration will help us tackle it faster, but the more we advance, the stronger our enemies may be, and the more difficult the tricks may be.

Remove the tent and put it in Verlaine's magical storage basket. I thought I'd take care of the luggage, but she didn't seem particularly bitter. However, only the former Demon King is not half physically capable, so I don't have to worry about it.

"Fufu... the Lady First is still thorough. Your husband is so adorable."

"Nah, what... I'm not thinking about anything else?

"I can see it in your eyes, you tried to bring me my luggage. But don't worry, it's magically lightweight. I'm also a woman, so I don't hate being nice to you either... but I'd rather be thankful if you did that sometimes."

"If you say so, you can let me have it. They all did."

It was only at the beginning that Miralka and Yuma were carrying a large amount of leather napsack containing clothes, and I proposed not to leave anything extra, while the equipment and clothes of women increased even when entering the demonic kingdom. How many times have you tried to tell Miralka that it's a real journey that you can't even change your underwear all the time?

I can see why Cody didn't leave my luggage with me at the time. Eileen was the same wild type as me who didn't have to change, but she gradually became attracted to Miralka's influence. Yuma is a monk, so she has to take a bath every day - I think she often completed the journey of demon king crusade in three months.

"... why are you looking at us in the distance? You don't want to focus on me?

"I'm sure Dick is remembering something. This beautiful lake has a face that I think it has."

"Oh, well. I remember a lot."

"What happened to Dick... we don't know him very well. I need you to tell me more..."

"Onee-sama, let's focus on the labyrinth strategy now. We'll have plenty of time to talk when we get back to Earth."

Just because they both changed their minds about me doesn't mean they won't be distracted in battle. I would like to count them as fighters if possible, but don't forget the difference in rank. Even if we are easy opponents, we should avoid letting them bypass us.

"Master, there are no more threats on the eighth floor. But on the next level... it seems strange that Lord Cody has been scouting."

"Strange... in this labyrinth, I'm no longer surprised what happened. Cody, what was it like?

"That's why there's no sign of life at all. There were a lot of bony Demon Beast bones left around, but Yuma said that she couldn't find any dead spirits that would normally be left."

"Yes... I can assume that the dead spirit was purified for some reason. However, the demon spirit in the labyrinth is often possessed by the bodies of other monsters and moved. It's not normal to think of it without any."

An immortal monster is born when a dead spirit attaches itself to the corpse. Dragonbone Swordsmen (Drago Skeletons) and Ghoul (Ghoul), who fought in five levels, often had paralysis poison, but if they were not careful, they wouldn't have to struggle very much.

One of the Adventurers' parties is told that a monk is necessary because there is a possibility that enemies will increase later if the Dead Spirit is not cleansed. However, even though there are bones in the lower nine levels, there are no dead spirits.

In some places, a dead spirit may be purified without being present, but that is the most convenient idea. I've never moved on to be vigilant.

"In the meantime, let's get down. In fact, I want to see what's going on in my eyes."

Aiming for nine levels, we start walking. The Aquarians in the lake were chased and punished by Eileen, and they didn't show up until we left.

◆ ◇ ◆

The ninth floor was a cave of rock walls. A cave of blue and black stone walls runs ahead like a wave - the sound resonates well because it is wide, but there are no signs of enemies. Hyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Dragon Kimira should have passed through here, but there's no trace. However, if you look closely, there are traces of crushing on the wall. Here, not so far back, huge creatures fought each other - I can deduce that.

As Cody said, there are bones around that aren't weathered and retained in their original form, but they look like beasts. Old enough to collapse in the wind, it looks like white ash or something. It will be a long time ago that they became bones.

It seems Yuma purified it when she came here with Cody earlier, and there is no air in the area. Cody and I, who are strong against the immortals, walk forward, but think of no sign of the enemy.

After walking for a while, I heard the voice of someone like a beast coming from the end of the cave.

It seems like you can hear a lot of voices at the same time. Is it nine or ten levels?

Either way, something unusual is ahead. Lotte lost her words and blushed at the sound that even I could arouse anxiety.

But Shelley is calm. Having harbored the power of the Spirit of the Snake, she is stronger than ever - to know how powerful she is, it seems adventurous to use the Adventurer Strength Measurer, but now that she has recorded the Verlaine numbers, she returns to the ground and finishes her analysis.

― ― However, if we go further, Sherry and Lotte may also participate in the fight.

"... Dick, I'm fine. Don't pull your feet."

"Look, sister... if you can see that you can't reach it, you'd better refrain..."

"I'll protect Lotte too. I think I can do it now... because I'm your sister."

"Okay. If we can do something about it, we'll never get past it, but in an emergency, we'll protect ourselves. There's probably some weird monster up ahead."

"It could be more than a Dragon Kimira enemy... High monsters may have special abilities, so we need to determine what kind of abilities they have."

Everyone gets nervous. The way down slowly is wide, and I keep hearing voices that are hard to describe.

"Mr. Dick... there's something terrible on the next level. The lost soul is concentrated there...!

"Souls are the dead spirits of monsters in this hierarchy. That means it's gathered in the lower hierarchy...."

"You're collecting a wide range of dead spirits... with the same power as Beatrice...?

I also thought of Eileen, who was in that mansion. Beatrice of Lake Queen also summoned death spirits just to live in the Mansion, causing it to be called the Ghost Mansion.

There are other monsters with such abilities. She is a higher-ranking demon belonging to a house called Beatrice the Six Mages of Lake Queen, but it is not strange that there are monsters of equal ability in this labyrinth.

"Either way, I have to go... everyone, I'll put some reinforcement magic on it. I'll give you instructions when the battle starts....."

"It's okay, it's okay as usual. We're prepared for that."

"This time I want someone who is a little easy to fight, but this labyrinth is not going to be that easy ~..."

"Irene, it's okay. There's a party going on, so I don't get caught in trouble."

Miralka puts her hand on Eileen's shoulder and says. Eileen laughed at the ease of the tension.

"Miralka's got a lot of nerve when she's with everybody, don't you hate it?

"Well, I just... don't like to be surprised. With this team, the ambush is something Dick can handle."

"Dee-kun, you're very responsible. Don't shout when your enemies suddenly come out."

"I don't think so... well. Let's go."

I used to be in charge of everybody from behind, but it's not like I can't do it when I get out front. As she moves forward with Cody, she is really relying on her whole body to prepare for any situation.

"I never felt nervous before the battle. Now I can feel it on my skin... there's definitely a" monster "ahead."

"It's hard to get your liver cold from the front. Did you notice the walls around here?

"There are signs of burning. This was a battlefield... in this labyrinth, the monsters fought each other and the strongest would be sitting there."

Enemies are stronger than Dragon Kimira and have Defense against Kimira's Braces. And I'm gathering the dead.

What does that mean? After walking about thirty minutes and descending the downhill following the next level, I knew the answer.

"--Cody!"

"Nh...!

― ― Light Sword Light Blade Light Barrage Valet Curtain ―

When Cody called out the light sword, he threw a flare of light bombs at the darkness ahead, without saying anything.

Light runs through the space several times, and the whole of the vast hall pops up instantly. In the meantime, I use the magic of "Lighting" and throw the generated light bulb upwards to explode and make it light. That should keep the light on for fifteen minutes.

However, Cody and I lost our words for a moment when we saw the huge body above the dragon Kimira that was illuminated by the light while receiving Cody's light bullet.

"What... that's...?"

― ― Countless dead spirits float around the body of a skeleton-only corpse dragon (dragon zombie). Each of the dead spirits flew in response to Cody's light bullets, but the dead spirits appeared from the ground later to protect around the zombie dragon.

"Ohhhhhh..."

Bone-only dragons can't raise the male, they just shake the wind. That was in our ears.

A bony dragon the size of a mountain. Now, even if the light bomb arrives, we can only scrape some of it.

The empty orbit shines with nothing. And the corpse dragon opens his jaw and exhales the bracelet - not a flame, not any other attribute. What was fired at us was the Reaper - a massive compressed mass.

--Reaper Cannon (Fobidun Cannon) ---

"Quuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!

(Yuma, I need your help...!

I will deploy the Barrier Cage to avoid disturbing the members behind me. At the same time, I borrow the power of purification from Yuma - I can always borrow and use the power of the party partner. When the magic of the party members was depleted, it was a technology I learned to share my magic and help, but now it's useful.

--Magic Sword (Spirit Blade) · Evil Soul Purification (Isoscism) ---

"Uhhh....!

I cut the bracelet of the Reaper from the front with a magical sword created with the help of Yuma, with enough scope to get us all involved in the party.

An effective attack against a Death Spirit can certainly offset it - I'm sure of it, but before slashing to purify the Death Spirit's bracelet, it drains more magic than expected. The number of compressed Dead Spirits was much higher than predicted.

And because I prevented the brace, the zombie dragon relentlessly targets me. If not, other members will be targeted - then we can only alert and attract the Corpse Dragon while releasing the "Evil Soul Extinction" at all times.

"Everybody, get out of the way of the enemy attack! I'll divert the target!

I give instructions to everybody after I've beaten them. Eileen already ran away and tried a melee battle with the Dragon to help me at all.

Her body is already wrapped in red fighting spirit. From the beginning, I realized that I had to be a demon and challenge him to win.

"- Yaaaaa! Roxanne kicked Zangetsu!

The corpse dragon covers the bone-only forefoot with an armor of the dead spirit to catch Eileen's kick to the medulla oblongata, which was supposed to be a special blow. The dead spirit that was caught will explode, but the body's limb cannot be broken. Eileen immediately launched the "Shura Shadow Fist" and split into six people to start a fierce attack.

What Eileen is aiming for - of course, she's shredding the enemy's defenses, poking through gaps and shattering the skeleton of the body. But despite that, she kept attacking and tried to strip the Reaper of any armor.

"--Eileen, pull!

"Kh...!

A fierce cold runs and I scream. The corpse dragon is attempting to carry out an attack involving everything around him while preventing Eileen from attacking - as expected.

--Impure Isolation (Wired Reject) ---

"Nh... this, this...!"

Eileen couldn't help but raise her voice. At the foot of the corpse dragon, a collection of dead spirits, almost as powerful as the brace, thrust up like pillars in all directions.

If I kept attacking a little more closely, Eileen would have been involved. Surrounded by the fighting spirit of the Onigami, even if my Reinforcement Magic raises my defenses to the limit, I won't be able to do it if I eat them properly.

I have a hunch that the attack was' death 'itself. When the spirit touches the body, it is deprived of vitality, so if the collection is properly penetrated into the body, it will take vitality away.

Eileen pulls it once, but the Corpse Dragon shakes his arm and tries to turn a mass of the Dead into a blade to attack. Evaded Eileen keeps her counter-attack intent in her eyes while distracting the target - and so on.

"--Yuma, please!

"Here... let me calm you down... my lost soul, be summoned to heaven!

The purifying light emitted from Yuma's body. The corpse dragon reacted and tried to release the brace, but before that, the whole body of the corpse dragon was exposed to Yuma's light.

"Quuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!

The corpse dragon shouted in pain. However, even if the dead spirit that covered its surface as armor was purified and disappeared, the light did not reach the body of the corpse dragon - even the power of Yuma to purify the entire kingdom could not remove the armor of the corpse dragon at one time.

"--Quuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

(Dick, that bony dragon is gathering an incredible number of dead spirits in the ground underneath its feet... pulling them out and turning them into power. But to bring the power of purification to the dragon's feet, we need to defeat the dragon....)

I can hear Yuma's voice. Connected with all the parties by magic, I can read my intentions and give answers without using magic tools.

(Yuma keeps showering the purifying light and delays the regeneration of the dragon armor as much as possible. Miralka, can you deploy a destruction team at the foot of the dragon and dig through the ground?

(Yeah, I'll try. But while chanting, it becomes defenseless....)

(It's okay, I'm with you. Dee, we need to destroy the core of that dragon! It's in the thorax, in the heart!

The body of a monster that you got when you defeated the Nucleus - the giant slime. It also exists in this bony dragon.

A bony dragon that gathers vast numbers of dead spirits based on monsters who have died in nine and ten levels forever. An existence that uses innumerable dead spirits for attack and defense, and together has the same power as an army of immortals, deserves to be called a 'Spiritual Dragon'.

It's hard to get him out of there. Then the armor has to be sharpened, but the armor's regeneration speed is terribly better in the face of the storm of Cody's light bomb and the light of Yuma's purification.

(If we increase the intensity of the attack, regeneration will be interrupted... and at that moment I will have to destroy the armor of the thorax and destroy the core. But if I join the attack, everyone in the rear will be in the target of the brace...!

The power of that brace is off track. Cody may be able to prevent it, but he can't let another ally shoot the brace in "Maybe."

The corpse dragon fired a bone spear at Cody and Eileen from his wings, waved his arms, and kept swinging his tail to fight back. If defenses don't collapse, it's nothing but a threat.

I want to increase my trouble, but my master is focused on protecting Miralka and Yuma from bone spears that zodiac dragons occasionally fly towards the back guard.

Our other forces are Sherry and Lotte - can they help destroy the armor if they attack?

--if it's Sherry now, or... Her strong thoughts echo that thought.

(Dick... rely on me. I want a little help... 'Phantom Snake Whip'!

Seeing Shelley's moves, I doubt my eyes-when she shook the whip, the blow transcended the space and was directly hit by a corpse dragon.

─!

Shelley cuts her wrist back and shoots the corpse dragon in a row. The power of the Spirit of the "Snake" is transporting Shelly's whip strike closer to the corpse dragon's body to deliver an attack.

Shelley cuts her wrist back, shakes her whip like an animal, and starts a rush against the zombie dragon. Cody and Eileen opened their eyes to the unknown attack, but soon they defeated Shelley and resumed the attack - the zombie dragon shouted and tried to target Shelley, but I put a bullet from the magic sword to draw attention and divert the target.

However, the Corpse Dragon also struck the next hand when he realized that it would be one of the defenses alone. From the ground around the corpse dragon, a wolf with bones - also known as Skeleton Wolf - appears, attacking all the defenders.

"If it's this many enemies... hah, hah! Windmill (Spiral Smash) !

It was Lotte who stepped forward courageously. Freil is compatible with bone-based monsters - neither an attack prevented by a corpse dragon nor the creation of a bone wolf. A metal sphere with centrifugal force crushes the opponent in pieces with a single hit.

This will make the fight antagonistic and buy you some time. The last push requires Verlaine's strength.

Miralka's faction magic is designed to purify the dead spirit at the foot of the Corpse Dragon at once, but to do so, we need to scare the Corpse Dragon for a moment. If only we could stop or delay armor generation.

"Verlaine, call her! She may be able to offset the Dragon's power!

I've been thinking about it since this battle began. The corpse dragon's power is rooted in the spirit of death - the power to gather it.

Then there is another one here who has the power to gather the spirit of death.

If she were here, with the power to gather death spirits from all over King's Landing, she would pierce the monster's defenses.

It seems that Verlaine was thinking of using lost magic, but on my instruction, she switched chants along the way.

"That's right... why didn't I notice? If you pull out the power of 'her'....!

She puts her hand forward and generates a magical formation. It was similar to the one used to summon the 'Unfilled', and it was a non-recall faction.

"Lace Queen, the family of my Lord, the Queen of the Dead. In the name of the demon Bardo, unleash its power for a moment and live in the world!

--Beatrice Silver.

She may be able to attract an infinite number of dead spirits to herself from the dragon's feet.

A silver-haired girl with white naked appeared from the recall team. But unlike the one I know - Verlaine's magic and the Demon King's Amulet that I always carry - the Summoners are drawing strength from her.

(Master, unfortunately I borrowed the help of the talisman... when I shared my magic, there were signs that I could pull it out of here. Don't worry, we just needed to regain the power of the Demon King in order to 'Summon Liberation')

Liberation Summon. It was a summoning magic that pulled the power of the Demon King to become the Demon King - the power of the Demon King's family.

She is not only good at spiritual magic. It means that the Summon Magic is as powerful as when you destroyed the Sandworm by calling "The Unfilled". And the summoning magic is equivalent to the lost technique - the lost magic.

Verlaine can summon herself or my master, the Demon Clan, who is my 'family'. At that time, with the help of the Demon King's talisman and in exchange for his magic, the summoned family is summoned in a temporarily strengthened state.

"Dead dragon... you've built up your strength in the dark. But I will not allow anyone to block my Lord's path... 'Pandemonium Form'!

Beatrice's unleashed power - the power to turn the dead into armor to defend themselves. It was the same power as the corpse dragon, but the phenomenon that occurred seemed quite different.

The Summoned Beatrice's naked body is gradually covered with armor transformed like a white petal or something. She was pulling a part of the Reaper called to regenerate her armor and converting it into her own.

Lace Queen - The Queen of the Dead is weaving her dress. But I can't see it through to the end, because it's the perfect machine Beatrice made for me now.

Let's go, guys! If you attack with all your might, regeneration will definitely stop!

"Got it....!

"Don't think you can't attack unless you get close..."

"'Phantom Snake'!

Cody fires a light bomb, Eileen builds up a red fighting spirit and shoots it as an air bomb, and Shelley knocks in countless lashes - the Dragon's armor explodes, starts flying, and regeneration begins. At the same time, I was fleshy from the front to the corpse dragon. If you move in a straight track, you will be targeted with a brace, but it is not impossible to offset. I've always loved him because I needed to get ready to pierce his armor.

To target the nucleus in the thorax at the shortest distance, you have to enter your pocket. If regeneration can't keep up with a total attack, it will always arrive...!

"Uhhhh!

"Quuuuuuuuuuu...!

A bracelet that shoots out compressed dead spirits - I use Yuma's help to rip it apart and step on it even further.

Instead of a second brace, the Corpse dragon chooses to counterattack in all directions. But if you gave me a moment, it would have been the same as it had been done.

Instead of being a shadow, I transform myself - wearing Yuma's purifying intentions, turning myself into a bullet and wearing a corpse dragon.

"--Penetrate!

― ― Evil Soul Purification (Isoscism) Transfer Breakthrough (Warp Drive) ―

Regenerating the Dragon's Armor is finally too late. I certainly saw that moment in my eyes.

After the blink of an eye, accelerated by the magic of metastasis, I penetrated the corpse dragon's torso and threw a slash over the sky ahead.

A blue pulsating heart jewel, the nucleus (core) of the corpse dragon's chest, is held in his hand. And as I landed, the atmosphere trembled.

"Coraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The corpse dragon raises the demon. At that moment, the liberated spirit of death is about to unravel - but now that the nucleus of the Corpse Dragon has been lost, the spirit of death who has lost control cannot endure Yuma's purification.

Yuma closes her eyes and starts emitting a sparkling purifying light. Master protects Beatrice from impact. And finally, Miralka activates faction magic to purify even all the dead spirits buried in the ground.

"Once cleansed, it's time for you to sleep forever... good night"

― ― Wide-area extermination type 10 Ground cracking rock formation ―

The ground beneath the Dragon's feet is shattered. The bones of the wound monster are purified without Yuma's power.

The corpse dragon can no longer hold on to its original form, and it collapses and disappears. I had no idea what the dragon looked like, but I must have had to take it down.

"--Quhhhh... uhh... uhh..."

Prevent dust from rolling up with a magical barrier and wait until it completely settles. After finally calming down, I looked at everybody again.

"That was a nasty opponent... wow...!

"Dear Dick... oh, I missed you... when I heard you were lurking in the labyrinth, I didn't feel alive in the Mansion... if anything had happened to you..."

Beatrice is hugging me - that's fine, but when the battle is over, she looks like she'll be able to undo the Magic Death Suit.

"I'm sorry... you gave me the magic tool to contact me, right? I think that's why I knew we were safe....."

"Do you think you can be reassured by the fact that you're fighting so hard...?

"... that's right. Thank you, Beatrice. Thank God you're here. It was someone we couldn't defeat without all of them."

There was also a hand to keep attacking the Dragon until it could no longer regenerate its armor, but from the bones buried in the ground that Miralka had crushed, it would not have been too soon for the spirit to run out.

A spiritual dragon (Legion Dragon) born from the life of all the monsters in the ninth and tenth levels. It also resembles the principle of putting poisonous insects and snakes in a pot so that the surviving organism will have the strongest poison.

"It's been a long time since I summoned you for liberation, so I guess it was a hassle... I lost my clothes when I summoned you. It may be because I summoned you to activate the" Magic Death Suit, "but you should wear my apron for now."

"Ha, yes... thank you."

"In a situation like the one I saw somewhere... Beatrice, watch your back. Ahhh, when I think about it, I can't stand it either!"

Eileen is in agony with her head in her arms. I was used to it, and when I let Beatrice's body feel remnants, everyone worked together to cover Beatrice and put on an apron.

"... Beatrice, is your hair growing?

"I think it was influenced by the help of the Demon King when he was summoned."

"How long does it take to reach your knees... I'll give you the ribbon, so keep it tied"

Miralka pulls out the white ribbon and ties the hair of the bare tris. It's too far from what it usually looks like and it's so fresh. I haven't seen it for a long time, but it still looks like a doll.

"I'm sorry, but it's been a long time since I've seen you...."

Beatrice puts her hands on my cheeks to shame about hugging me. Looking at him like that, he remembers what happened yesterday when he slept in the bed together to give him magic.

"Onee-sama, you've taken something delicious with you."

"... I can't help it. We're still immature."

"Well done, both of you. Lotte played her part, and I think if we get a rating on Shelley's technique, we'll already have an SS rank."

"Ah... ah, thank you, Mr. Dick."

"... I'm glad... it helps me a little."

I knew they wanted to help me, so I'm glad we all had a place.

"It's slime, it's hard to get close, and it's going to be hard for me ~... hah. I wonder if I should change from a militant to another profession."

"I can't help it because it was a special enemy. I realized my weaknesses... a single blow is not enough to kill a highly regenerated opponent."

"I don't like monsters like that because I can only destroy surfaces if I'm an unknown monster... but I don't think I should worry too much because I'm partying for them."

It's a party to make up for what's missing. Even though the Master had the strength to go around attacking, he was able to take it to the last packing because he was escorted by the back guard.

"Dee-kun, I have nothing, but the core is also very precious. Dee, if you use it, you can be stronger, and I think Bear can draw strength even if she uses it."

"No, no... I just got a call from you on this occasion. I should have waited in that mansion for you to come home."

- That's right. That's what I realized, but I had something to ask Beatrice.

"Beatrice, I need a favor. Once I'm back on the ground, I want to invite guests to that mansion."

"Ha, yes... yes. Who is invited?

The Stolen family summoned Beatrice and left him in that mansion. I'd like to ask the young master something.

Primiere Støren. We need to talk to her about Beatrice and Clive. And if you can, I'd like to make an apology... for Shelley and the sisters.

It's not like we're going to fight from the beginning. All I try is entertainment. Delicious liquor and food, and how much my hospitality will open her heart.

As long as it's a plot, you'd better find out what you're aiming for and be on your side. My experience of responding to every customer's request through the work of the Alliance was coming here to be tested.
