Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

- Let's conclude.

There is no way to beat Elphiszark Gildegard.

Because there is an insurmountable wall between her and Orteguia Van Zarefeld.

No matter how you scratch, it is impossible to defeat Orteguia in Elphiszark today.

The strength of Elphiszark lies in its overwhelming amount of magic.

Naturally, she is not comparable to the other demons.

But more than that, she was able to become a demon king because she had demon eyes, demon arms, and demon legs that would release overwhelming magic as destructive as it was.

Magic Furnace - Currently losing heart, Elphiszark's attack power is halved.

With that half-attack, it's impossible to beat Orteguia's attack and pierce that defense no matter what.

"-" Demon Arm/Broken ”Huh!

A huge five-claw close to a dragon species object, appearing from the tip of Elphiszark's claw.

Left and right together, a total of ten demon claws are relentlessly waved down toward Orteguia.

I thought you were a wise woman, except for the fact that you wanted to live with other people.

In contrast, Orteguia's behavior is simple.

Slash up with the sword you hold upwards.

That's all, the ten demon claws were shattered.

"Have you spooked me in the last thirty years?"

Orteguia catches up with a breath to Elphiszark, who tries to escape in time with his demonic legs.

And toward his defenseless abdomen, he slammed a strong kick in.

"- Or have you clouded your eyes with hatred?

"but ha"

On the toe pierced by his abdomen, Elphiszark is slapped to the ground as he bounces the wall.

Spitting blood and remaining breathless, Elphiszark scattered a "grey blast” all over his sight.

Tearing apart the hell of the Red Lotus, which is born innumerable, Orteghia naturally appears intact.

"What's the point of your actions now? Melee battles are also sloppy, just scattering demonic eyes without darkness. Too reckless to beat me, too forward to buy time"

Elphiszark manages to get up with his hands on the ground without answering the surprise Orteguia.

My whole body was chopped up by an unprotected slaughter, and there are fewer places that are not bleeding now.

The breath is now constant compared to Ortegia, which is intact and has not even found breath.

The difference in strength was historical, and it was clear that there was no eye for victory.

And Tianjing Yiwei can't make it to this occasion.

Because right now, Rain "Refese is doing a simultaneous sweep of magic from outside the castle.

In an attack that doesn't even call for the destruction of Demon King's Castle, Iori is eating a foothold.

It'll still be a while before we get to this spot.

That 'while' was enough time for Elphiszark to defeat.

Every demonic eye is slashed under one sword.

Every demonic arm does not lead to breaking through the armor of magic.

Every demon leg can be stopped the moment it steps into time.

All its causes lay in the sword of Orteguia.

Itsuki's handling of “soft sword” delicacy or “ghost sword” technology is different.

There was a “beast” sword there, like it was just to slash and lay down the opponent.

――――

Elphiszark's eyes shine and the light emitted overshadows Orteguia's vision.

Continuously, an extra-large "ash blast” was released.

Orteguia did not rely on his sight, but doubled the “ash blast” as he meditated on his eyes.

"- Stupid"

Dossss, I heard a blunt noise.

Elphiszark, who was distracted by the ash explosion and turned behind Orteguia, had his abdomen pierced by a great sword.

"Or, fu"

"... stupid"

Without even looking back, Ortegia repeats itself again.

"Shut up, shut up...... ugh!

With his abdomen pierced, Elphiszark slapped his fist against the back of Orteguia's head.

It was a fragile fist that had no great power and had no need to activate and prevent armor.

Remaining silent, Orteghia sheds her magic on the great sword she holds.

An intense wave of magic burst through the blade into the body of Elphiszark.

"- Eh."

Make a big hole in your upper body and Elphiszark rolls down the ground without force.

His arms are shaken and his legs are bent in an unexpected direction.

The magic was not exhausted yet, but Elphiszark was so full of creativity that he could not keep up with his recovery.

"... were you really challenging me to remain helpless?

Orteguia quietly asks the bloody elfiszark that leads to the wall.

Elphiszark does not answer.

However, there is an unspeakable flame of hatred in those eyes.

"Because I'm disappointed, Elphiszark. You were the only demon I've ever met. That's not the end of it."

…………

Orteguia glanced down slightly at the silent elfiszark.

"If I let you go wild, it will always be my obstacle. So I erase it here. If you have the magic you've been accumulating for thirty years, you can kill even you. Even if we were able to come back to life, that would be thousands of years later. This is the end of your battle with me."

…………

- Is there anything left to say?

Before pointing to Todome, Orteghia asked quietly.

Elphiszark does not answer.

"... right"

After meditating his eyes on the figure and exhaling.

"- Goodbye. Elphiszark Gildegardo"

A blow was fired killing Elphiszark Gildegard.

◆

- Let's talk about Elphis Zark.

She didn't have a blood connected family.

I don't know if my parents abandoned me or lost my parents in the war.

From the moment she was conceived, she lived in a village under the protection of the Demon King's Army.

"Kill man, kill subman. Demons are the finest species'

All adults living in the village, starting with their father and mother, the parents of their upbringing, said so orally.

Sometimes it was during the war, and there was a keen education to join the Demon King's Army.

With that in mind, the children of the village did not doubt it was true.

Except elphiszark.

Demons have a higher power than humans.

There is also a high magical propriety, which would be superior to humans and subhumans in terms of combat.

But can you say that it is better than any other species by fulfilling it?

No one, including adults, he or she (...), is inferior to himself or herself (...), who is a child (...).

Even when I saw the demonic warrior that he had worked out for decades, I only thought Elphiszark was “weak".

That would be the case, too.

Because there was a demon in her body that no one else had.

As long as you take the time to shoot the magic, you better shoot the Devil's Eye.

If you're going to play melee, you'd better lay low with your demon arms.

If you're going to pack your time, you better get close with your demon legs.

Seeing them overwhelmingly inferior to themselves, Elphiszark was skeptical of the adults' words.

In the first place, if only the Demon Nation is superior, then war should move on to more Demon King Army superiority.

Nowadays, the Demon King's army is being put at a slight disadvantage by the magic, tools and tactics used by humans.

It's inferior because it's human, it's superior because it's demonic - isn't this way of thinking, wrong?

The suspicion grows.

Adults who just scream that the Demons are superior, and children who believe it and don't doubt it, looked terribly funny.

Then, gradually, Elphiszark's question moves to another place.

In other words, about the existence of myself.

Demons are proud of their power - their own. That outweighs even adults.

Humans pride themselves on witchcraft - their own. That even outweighs magicians.

The idiosyncrasies that subpeople are proud of - their own. That even outweighs warriors.

What the hell is a different self than anyone else?

Why are you the only one who is superior and different from the others?

What the hell was I born for with this special power?

In this village, you won't find the answer to that.

"Leaving the village and coming around to see what's going on in the world"

Elfiszark popped out of the village, tickling the 'disguised bracelet' of turning his figure into that of a person, which was kept in the village.

◆

As soon as I got out of the village, I knew that I was still excellent.

Several times he was to contend with wild demons and humans who had been attacking the Demon King's realm, but Elphiszark did not struggle in all its battles.

Just shoot in the demon eye before the enemy approaches and the battle is over, so naturally.

Without knowing what the poison was and what the edible part was, Elphiszark ate the nuts and the flesh of the beast.

Naturally, it didn't taste good.

It didn't fit my tongue enough that something called a meal felt painful.

The food that came out of the village was also simple and tasteless, but it still seems that eating is an act just to get nutrients.

This is what happened the next time I left the village.

He wandered through the Blah Blah and Demon King territories and went to see other villages and cities.

But everywhere I look, I'm unlikely to find the answer I was looking for.

Continue walking in the northeast direction for a while with no destination.

For the first time, Elfiszark met a struggling opponent.

They say they belong to the Patriarchate, the Knights of the Diocese.

I could have been deluded in The Fake Bracelet, but it was a mistake to approach it with interest.

You can tell by the Demons. No, the Cathedral Knights attack with horrible momentum.

In an attempt to blow them away with demonic eyes, they came towards us fearlessly.

Not to mention the beginning and end of the coming out of those who are called captains.

Even if their aversion points and they run, they'll always come after them.

I didn't feel my life was in danger, but I had trouble with the boulders.

Breaking troublesome sorcery such as elephant sorcery, there was a great valley ahead where he managed to escape.

"... persevered"

Elphiszark exhales and eats proper nuts.

Up to this point, it was bound to be a battle with the humans we met without using the 'disguised bracelet'.

The demons and the humans are the same.

We hate each other, we kill each other.

Just because the opponent is a human, a demonic, is subject to killing.

No longer, that's common sense in this world.

But how is this status quo taken for granted?

I wonder why we hate each other and are fighting over it.

Because we're trying to prove each other's strengths and weaknesses with the outcome of the battle?

But there seemed to be more cause for other parts to see their shapes fighting.

With a sinister face on his face, he was an elphiszark sinking into his thoughts, but he returned to me.

If you noticed, there was a “nanica” in front of you.

――――

It was black.

From the oval body, four legs grow.

There are no eyes in the facial area, just holes in the mouth and thoughts.

Elphiszark's Know, a different form from any demon.

――――

As Elphiszark breathed, the monster came under attack.

He kicks the ground with four legs and beats the devil's eye in reflexively against the compound that has jumped.

"Become"

Even when the ash explosion hit directly, the compound did not stop the movement.

Spread out the black muddy stuff, approaching the eyes of Elphiszark.

Even trying to intercept him with his demonic arm, the monster was quicker.

"- Ah, but"

Two legs of the compound pierced the elphis zark.

One chooses his left eye, the other his abdomen big.

――――

The carbide arms pulse freaking out and take in Elphiszark's flesh into the body.

When this is not enough, he opens his mouth wide and the chemicals follow him.

At that moment, Elphiszark slapped the ash explosion into the face of the monster.

"Ugh."

Involved in an explosion at close range, Elphiszark dances the universe.

Beyond that was the deep valley.

Unable to even move into the pain that had determined his body, Elphiszark fell to the bottom of the valley.

- This was Elphiszark's first defeat.
