Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

"... it's me. I want to make a happy world, like this picture book."

I can't make a world like that.

There is no way to visit peace or anything.

Demons and humans are incompatible and can only kill each other.

You should know that, but that's what she said.

――――

The side of it seems sad without any help.

"... I'll make it"

"Huh?"

- I saw her laughing when I couldn't.

Lose your loved ones, scratched, sad.

Still, make her laugh when she can't.

I wonder how good it would be to make that sad smile a real smile.

Yes, because I thought so.

- I'll make it.

He took an oath.

Trying to create a world where you can make her smile.

Trying to be a hero and make a happy world.

That was his (...) and her (...) promise.

◆

Give the reluctant Elfi the eye drops and go on through the labyrinth.

Things are going well.

Climb up a passageway that is stretched like a slope and up to a two-tier.

Shortly after entering the second level, the room was the Thunder Emperor's Great Spider's Nest.

There are nests of thunderous spiders everywhere, and a large number of Thunder Emperor Great Spiders are waiting.

As I entered the room, the Thunder Emperor Spider, who noticed the lights, began to move.

To a boulder, it's a hassle to deal with this number.

Faster than the spiders attacked, I set fire to magic from a distance.

"-" Flamethrower (Flame Barrett) ""

The fire burns the spider's nest, and so does the great spiders of the Thunder Emperor who were on it.

Not a demon dying to this extent on a boulder, but the burning nest caused panic.

In the meantime, we'll pass through the room.

Only individuals blocking the road were double-breached with emerald machetes.

It would have been easier to defeat all individuals now, but wasted fighting should be avoided.

Even after you leave the room, a demon comes drawn to the floating light.

Yellow liquid seeped out of the gaps in the walls and the ground.

Bolt slime.

"Slime looks delicious somewhere, don't you think?

"Why don't you sip and see. It could be shrewd and delicious."

…………

"Don't think."

Tapping lightly against the slime blocking the road.

Bolt Slime, which deactivates blows and slaughters and thunder through more weapons, is a nasty demon.

But it's not hard to deal with that if you don't get stuck by surprise.

It can be said in common for all slimes, but if you crush the nucleus that floats in the liquid, you can easily defeat it.

"" Stone Barrett ""

Quicker than the slime hits, I'll shoot out that nucleus with a rock bullet.

Slime, who lost his nucleus, went back to beshari and just liquid.

"That's a lot of precision."

"Thank you. I didn't like the sniping in action."

To survive, I had to learn swordsmanship and sorcery.

It didn't take you long to master whether it was because your life was at stake or because of The Testimony of the Brave.

Ever since I got to the ground, I've even continued to want it in action.

Sometimes they taught me on my journey.

"Hmm. How's the magic?

"We still have a lot of room. For this matter, you don't have to use the array you brought."

When I thought of the second summons, the total amount of magic increased considerably.

Somewhat more than the mage's average amount of magic would be.

"Good then. Don't push it."

"... oh"

Snipe the slime, break through the Great Spider of the Thunder Empire and climb to the three tiers.

So far, Elfi has never used the Devil's Eye for Attack.

Demon King punch, Demon King kick, bare hands alone are able to deal with demons.

With my power back somewhat, Elfi is less burdensome than ever before in the labyrinth.

So far so good.

"It's not weird when the top demons come out. Be careful."

Such arrowheads, the labyrinth, emitted light.

As always, it's a terrible amount of light.

Because I first saw the painful eyes, or Elfi was freaking my body out.

Eventually the luminescence weakens and the labyrinth is covered in darkness again.

The light goes out completely, just before that.

"Coming, Io!

Unlike the floating light, another light appeared illuminating the darkness.

A rock giant approaching with his whole body shining.

Shine golem.

There's another demon in the rear.

Behind the shine golem, a thunderous bird is winging.

Light thunderbird.

Shine golem stands as an avant-garde, and lightning thunderbirds cover it as a rear guard.

It's a nasty combination.

Shine golems look dull but, conversely, move fast.

Plus, he hits me with a body like a fistfighter.

In a half-breed attack, you'll be stunned.

"QUEE!!"

Sliding through the shine golem, thunderbird thunder flies in.

"- Huh."

Elfi, who stepped forward, wiped out the thunder with just a kick wrapped in magic.

Shine golem hits me for there.

Interrupt between them and flush your fists with a "soft sword".

With a blade to return at the same time, he slashed and skipped the lower body of the shine golem.

A golem of considerable hardness, but the jade knife was chopped and torn like paper clay.

the upper body falling like a sloth,

"Demon King Kiwik!!"

To the rear thunderbird, Elfi kicked it.

"Grr!!"

Crushed by a flying mass of rock, the thunderbird crumbled.

It would be instant death.

"That was a good collaboration."

Hammer Elphi, who seems to be good at it, and move on.

More than ten times since then, I have met demons who work together, but I have been able to defeat them without risk.

Again, Elphi is not only out of sorcery and physical abilities, but also out of skill.

The same is true of previous labyrinths, but it would be thanks to Elfi's strength to make things easier this way.

It was nice of you to move when you wanted it.

From the four tiers, the number of demons that come out further increases.

Called by the floating light, a large crowd pushes over.

Most of the demons that come out are collaborative and highly skilled.

The church nations that have so far challenged the labyrinth have mostly not advanced above the four tiers.

Looks great, up to five levels.

Those who have risen to the fifth tier are also destroyed by Thunder Dragon (Lightning Dragon).

Hundreds of elites, apparently, only a few left.

If I had come here at an adventurer's party, as I did during the Purgatory Labyrinth, I probably wouldn't have been able to move up four levels.

From here, I unlocked Elphi's demonic eye.

Elphi's Devil's Eye is effective because of the number of opponents.

"Heavy crushing", "Ashes explosion" breaks the demon collaboration and slashes it there.

With minimal strain on each other, the four tiers were able to break through.

Go up to the fifth level.

Probably get to the top floor in about two floors.

When I tried before, the Abomination Labyrinth was only available up to six levels.

Considering the labyrinth so far, the structure of the labyrinth would not have changed that much.

However, only four levels of information have been collected.

Five tiers of information are scarce.

More than ever, we need to be vigilant.

"... this is"

As soon as I walked into the room, I got into my eyes.

We went up to the fifth floor, waiting for us.

"Oohhhhhh -!!"

It was a bunch of thunder dragons.

On a golden scale, yellow eyes, wings protruding from his back emitting bees and thunder.

There were six giants waiting to look down on us.

"... the people who tried will perish."

Because of the lights, I can't even kill the signs and move on.

If we have to deal with all this demons from the front... then we deserve to be devastated by a half-breed force.

If there was someone as powerful as Leo who could use mindset magic, it would have changed the story.

"When you come out with all this at once, don't get more tense!

"I'm not going up"

Well.

Is this the primary gateway?

"... we're gonna push through."

"Whatever!

Enough leeway.

After that, it's a battle about how much we can move forward without spending.

…………

During the battle, I remembered fu.

Thirty years ago, when I came to the Patriarchate.

Even then, you were surrounded by powerful demons.

◆

Thirty years ago, the first labyrinth to crusade was the Narrow Labyrinth of the Kingdom.

Crusaded the demons and demons that were nesting in the land, and after I could fight, I challenged the Nara Labyrinth.

And the next thing I knew, it was the Patriarchate.

It seems that the "brave man" is a man of the other world chosen by the Holy Light God Melt.

With religious connections, the Church country must have been chosen.

Luzas, Dionis, and Lucifina.

The three of us at the party were on our way to the Patriarchate.

After the three of us were together, a lot of things happened before we reached the Patriarchate.

The first battle with the Four Heavens "Thousand Weirds" was also on the way to the Patriarchate.

- I just want to go back to the original world.

It was around this time that I started to change my mind like that.

"... brave man! Please, save Famina!

Waiting for us to come to the Patriarchate was a plea for rescue.

One of the holy capitals, Famina, was being attacked by demons.

People in the city are resisting, but quite a few people have already been sacrificed.

"Oh no..."

I remember Lucifina holding her mouth down and laying her eyes down sadly.

We were on our way to save Famina.

――――

There was a misery spreading in the famina.

Everywhere, people's bodies were rolling.

There are children crying in the wreckage of their parents.

There was a knight who was chasing a fatal wound and asking for help without being able to die instantly.

- A lot, I saw a crying face.

――――

I saw Lucifina desperately trying to help the wounded.

I saw Luisas trying to help the crying child.

I saw the suffering knight, Dionis, intervening while hiding his expression.

――――

I wanted to help.

I thought I had to save you.

I wanted to make grieving people smile.

Maybe it was at this time that I had a mind.

"Gu...... uhh"

Dionis bleeds and falls to the ground.

A blow from the demon boss who took over the city broke through Dionis' defense.

"Dionysu!?"

The moment I was distracted by you,

"Shit..."

Another demon strike was unleashed.

Dealing with it is delayed and cannot be avoided.

"-"

Lucifina took refuge in me and attacked the Demons.

Let the blood erupt from your chest and Lucifina sinks into the blood.

"Lucifina!? Damn, what can I do..."

I might lose my people.

Dionis or Lucifina, which one should I help?

When all kinds of emotions got mixed up and I couldn't move.

"- Are you stupid?"

The magic unleashed stirred up the surrounding demons and blew them up, and the flames cleared the way.

"Lewsas......"

"While you're at it, get those guys down to safety. I'll take this place."

"Nah...... You want me to leave you alone!?"

"That's right. Come on, Lucifina's gonna die."

Lewsas cold words, like breaking my grid.

I felt my confused head calmly return.

"... will be back soon"

"Ah."

Are you going to let your people die?

At that heart, I carried Lucifina and Dionys.

So, I guess.

"You have to be alone."

I didn't care what Lewsas said then and the distorted grin.

"Nah..."

I left Lucifina and Dionis with the city people, and when I got back to the battlefield, the battle was almost over.

There are tons of demons rolling around.

The Demon Clan had two left, too.

"Luzas......!

At the center of it stood a troubled Lewsas.

With all this scratching, Lewsas was holding out to protect us.

That's what I thought then.

"... thanks, Luisas"

As a token of gratitude, I went right into the helper knife, too.

The remaining demons were also worn out by the magic of Lewsas.

I defeat the demon that comes by, and in the meantime, Luisas chants.

Eventually, Lewsas' magic wiped out the demon boss.

"I won..."

"Ku, ha. Yay! Yay! Yay!

Lewsas grips his fist and laughs happily as he bleeds from all over his body.

For some reason, I remember that smile well.

Thus, we saved Famina, who had been attacked by demons.

It was an avid call waiting for us back in Schmeltz from Famina.

"The brave men are here!

"The hero who defeated all those demons..."

"Hero Amatsu!"

A lot of people called me a hero.

... Heroes are crap.

I thought that was me.

"... Not really."

…… Did you say something?

"No. If everyone smiles like this, don't be a bad hero."

I said that to Lucifina as Kyoton, and it lit up quickly.

Lucifina was laughing happily when she saw me out of her face.

"That's right. Because you have the power to make everyone smile."

The word was probably one of the factors that shaped my mind (Ritsu) after that.

Soon afterwards, the Pope of the Melt Church came to express his gratitude.

"Dear Amatsu. Thank you very much."

"No......"

"This, too, is your guide, Master Melt."

He has heard me laugh bitterly at the pope trying to tangle anything in the melt.

I wonder why you're fighting.

"I'm a ghost."

"Oh, are you a ghost?"

"Yeah. It would be no choice now to be so surprised. But sooner or later, I want to create a world where ghosts and people can live with their hands."

That's what Dionis said.

"So, what about Lord Lucifina?

"I, too, look a little like Mr. Dionys. I want to create a world where all races can take their hands and live with a smile on their faces. That's why we're fighting."

That's what Lucifina replied.

It's already been over six months since I started fighting as a brave man.

In it, I saw a lot of crying faces.

Even in the fight at the Famina, yes.

So, I guess.

"I want to create a world where all races can live with a smile on their faces".

This word burned in my heart.

"So, what about Lord Amatsu?

To the Pope I asked, I answered.

"Me, too."

"And?

At this time.

I made up my mind.

"- I want to make a world where everyone can laugh."

Deception, hypocrisy, lies.

Thirty years ago, when it was full of falsehoods, it was the mind I did have.

"So... hmm? Where's Lord Luzas?

"Ah. He would have just changed his blood phase and left the room. Didn't you even break it in your stomach?

Soon Lewsas had disappeared and replied so as Dionis tilted his neck.

"When I got back to Schmeltz, I didn't seem to feel good... Will you be all right?"

"... after all that fighting. If you don't seem to be coming back, I'll go check it out."

"... Yes, please"

afterwards.

After I broke up with the Pope, I had a chance to be alone with Lucifina.

"Hey, Mr. Amatsu....... Iwo,"

I was only teaching her, the real name.

With hesitation, Lucifina called my name.

"What's going on?

"... is that true just now?

"Earlier...?

It looked like the kind of uneasy, uneasy look you'd expect.

"Really... Mr. Io, the... Everyone has a funny world..."

"... oh"

To Lucifina's words, I nodded.

- I'll make it.

That day thirty years ago.

That's what I promised Lucifina.

- Beyond that, without knowing the crappy ending.

◆

"-" Demon Arm/Broken Claw ""

Elphi's five claws determine the thunderous dragon.

Fifteen minutes wanted to pass since the battle began.

Now the last one has been killed by Elphi's blow.

"... ugh"

In the dragon's blood buildup, exhale.

It was quite a hassle to call it a bouldering dragon species.

I didn't know you were going to let Elfi's demon arm out.

Nevertheless, fortunately, magic consumption is only within assumed limits.

I can fight enough of this.

"Kufu."

"... what the hell"

Assuming future battles, Elfi leaked a small, unpleasant grin.

"Ugh, in the end, you're the shark I'm gonna hug, huh?

…………

"But compared to before, you've been somewhat successful. Hmm, a little more muscle would be my thing, wouldn't it?

During the battle, there were occasions when I could not avoid the braces on my own.

I could have prevented it if I had used "Demonic Seizure (Il Atalaxia)," but I didn't want to consume as much magic as I could.

... so I asked this guy to dodge it.

"Don't be so flimsy."

"There will be no illuminating elements."

"Kufu. Good. It's an honor to have this former Demon King Taru hold me, ahhh!?"

"What's a Demon King hug? Let's go."

"Ugh..."

Step over the dragon's carcass and head to the next room.

I also ran into another thunderous dragon, but now I knocked him out without Elfi's hand.

Other demons kick and go up to the six tiers.

"... Hmm. From the thickness of the magic vegetables, I'm pretty sure this is the top tier."

Magnets dancing in the air are bouncing like bees and static electricity.

It's about the same amount of magic as the deepest part of the labyrinth.

Continue along the six tiers with increased vigilance.

And a few minutes later, we got to the far end.

"... that room"

"Be there (...)"

From inside the room, I feel the magic that sting my skin.

Without a doubt, existence far beyond the Thunder Dragon is withheld.

"Second gate. I'll be careful."

"... um"

It's the moment you step into the deepest room.

……

Multiple purple thunder shoots at us from the front.

Dodged and put the opponent in sight who had launched the attack.

There he was, a giant skeleton.

He wraps a red cloak around a giant nearly three metres away.

The eye hole is lit with red light, staring at us.

"The Skeleton King."

A monster at the top of a bone demon.

It has powerful magic and physical abilities, as well as a high level of intelligence.

It is classified as a demon from the outside, but it is not strange to be called the Demon Nation.

Is this the Thunder Demon General?

"lamentable"

Where is the vocal cord, Thunder Demon General snapped so.

At the same time as the statement, bees and purple thunder run around.

"Oh, my God! Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty! Humans and traitors must not step into our castle with earthfoot!! '

... Shut up.

A demon with no intelligence is the easiest way to deal with it, like a flaming demon general.

"- I have one Great Five Demon General," Thunder Demon General "Zelat!

Together with the daunting tricks, the Thunder Demon General gives you a name.

First name, I don't care.

Okay, second gate.

Let's just say I hit a lot of cloth stones in case (...) after this.

"Come on, let's destroy you."

The battle against the Thunder Demon General began, along with the purple electricity that licks the earth.
