Chapter 228 – 11-in Fact, the Kingdom of Zent Is a Demonic Realm.(4)
I woke up with a refreshed expression.
On the bed, Asuna and the bitches lay naked, as if passing out.
Artina had gone first, but she was nowhere to be seen.
“Oh, it hurts a little because I moved my body in a small space.”
He moved his body around and twisted his joints.
I heard a cool sound and felt my body relax.
“Now I’m feeling a little better. Let’s go out now.”
[Is it over now? Let’s take it out later and have some fun. The fort is built up!]
[Aaaaa, how could you do such a shameless thing!]
“Don’t fuck with me. Darkness, you’re a succubus, so I’m going to say that, but Claus Solas, you’ve mixed bodies with me, so what’s the shame?”
After wearing Claus Solas and Darkness, they each talked to me according to their personalities.
I responded briefly to those words, covered the children who were still not awake with a blanket, and came out of the tent.
Outside the tent, Bernage was waiting.
Bernage hadn’t touched it yet, and someone had to make an excuse if they found us, so I didn’t call them.
The same goes for Reisen, but she waits in my tent.
“Kuh, keuh! It’s finally here. Prince Artel.”
Bernage was glancing at me with her blushing face.
I felt a strong desire as I looked at the lower part of my body, as if I had heard a sound outside.
At this, I laughed.
Truly, she was a pervert female knight who did not change at all.
“Bernage, hasn’t anything happened so far?”
“No. His Majesty’s orders haven’t come down yet, so you can rest in moderation.”
“Yeah, got it.”
I answered briefly and left.
There was nothing to do, so I decided to look around the area.
Outside, especially in forests and previously abandoned danger zones, poison and curses abound, but that much poses no threat to me.
So, confidently, I stepped into the woods.
This is an opportunity to check the unique aura felt in the Gent Kingdom.
One is here in the forest, the other is in the capital of Zent Kingdom, and the other one is hard to detect even for me, so I gave up a long time ago.
One of them is presumed to be a demon, but its power is the strongest among the demons I have ever seen.
No, to be precise, it was getting stronger.
As if the spirits of all life were gathering in that forest, it was getting stronger little by little, but quickly.
So it was well worth checking out.

“It’s shit.”
The decaying trees and flowers, and the polluted land without even a shape remaining.
It was a forest so messed up that it could only be said that a disaster had struck.
I don’t know what kind of forest it was originally, but it will take a lot of resources and manpower to revive it.
“Aaaaa~”
“Oh shit, there are those bastards again.”
The undead appeared again as I cut off my leisurely feelings.
I took out the club I had brought beforehand at the appearance of the undead, who were just zombies, slamming their mouths against each other with their rotting skin.
It’s a luxury to use magic against such people.
“Uuuuu!!”
“Look around.”
Quick!
I smashed the head of the undead that was running towards me.
At the same time, rotten blood splattered, but before it could reach me, I backed away and avoided the blood.
“Search, search, search.”
Quick! Quick! Quick!
As if they were waiting for a living, warm creature to come, the undead constantly popped out, I wielded a club in a dry way, and occasionally I saw a skeleton or beastly undead, but they broke the earthenware pot fairly.
At this level, it was surprising how the demons stayed among so many undead.
“Tsk! It bothers me.”
Quick! Quick!
Watching the thick blood on the club, I threw it away.
“Write it… It really bothers me.”
Pajijijik!!!
Thunderbolts were generated from my body and wrapped around me, and my mana fluctuated and ran amok at random, creating a small storm.
The undead were blown away by the storm or burned by lightning strikes, but soon other undead filled them.
So far, I’ve killed quite a few undead, but only here was overflowing with undead.
It was too cumbersome to hit them with clubs, and there were a lot of them.
That’s why it caused a thunderbolt and swept the surroundings.
Powerful thunderbolts flashed in the forest, burning the surrounding area.
The undead could not last even for a few seconds and were turned into ashes and scattered.
“As expected, strength breath doesn’t suit me.”
Looking at the cleared forest, he smiled with satisfaction.
Then, after feeling the presence of demons, he pointed at Darkness and asked.
“So… Who are you?”
Behind me stood a demon with red eyes shining.
The entire body was wrapped in a black robe, so the gender was unknown, but the demonic energy felt in the body was extremely powerful.
That’s why I was a little wary and gradually raised my magic power.
But the demons saw me like that and smiled contentedly before suddenly disappearing.
The transcendental power that had filled this forest was also neatly removed.
I was puzzled by this and withdrew my sword…
Koo Goo Goo Goo Palace-
“What is this again!”
I was caught up in the collapse of the ground and fell down.
I hurriedly kicked off the ground and tried to jump, but the energy I felt from below restrained me.
Looking down, there was a huge building below.
The black building, reminiscent of a temple of a god in Greece, was giving off an ominous aura just by looking at it.
I realized while watching this.
One of the episodes related to the Kingdom of Gent in the original work, a story about demons sealed in an underground temple.
And he was able to recall the fact that the underground temple was a relic that was activated when all the royalty of the Zent kingdom died.
I blamed myself for being too careless.
I never expected that all the royal family would have already died, and that there would be a temple like this under this forest.
It was all my mistake.
“Sheesh!”
I clicked my tongue lightly and hit the floor.
Quaang!
I felt pain all over my body, but it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t move.
But the current situation was the worst.
I squeezed my hand, and I could feel it.
The fact that my current physical ability has been reduced by something.
And at the same time, I thought of the demons that appeared in the episode and the demonic relics displayed in this temple.
The demon’s name is Baal, an ancient demon and one of the strongest demon kings. The holy relic equipped in this temple is the demon’s mirror.
It is a tool that connects the demon world and the other world, and a holy relic that emits a special wavelength to eat away the energy of the strong.
And looking at the current situation, I also got a sense of why I fell here.
In the original story, Baal hunted using the demon mirror to supplement his weakened power.
After dazzling people with fairly strong powers through illusions and alter egos, they lured them away in the name of treasure and ate all their power.
And he was cut to death while fighting without recovering all his strength from the last fallen warrior.
That was Baal’s futile end.
For a strong person above a certain level, even if it was a demon’s mirror, it was at the peak of its weakening.
However, in reality, it is a troublesome ability even if it is just that.
“Darkness, Claus Solas. Do you think there is a way out of here?”
I looked up at the sky.
The collapsed land was restored at some point, and the roots of trees grew and firmly fixed it.
It made me feel bad, as if they were telling me to abandon the idea of leaving here.
“Huuu… This is what happened. I have no choice but to go inside.”
Originally, it would have been a different color, but now I moved forward as I saw the temple dyed black.
I felt kind of ominous.
And the premonition soon became a reality.
“Fuck, I said why there are so many undead here.”
A large amount of corpses stretched out on the floor, they were already dead, but there was no movement, but the tower made of corpses was disgusting.
But I could see why Baal had regained his strength so quickly.
In the original story, Baal was cautious about his prudence even when he kidnapped one person, fearing that his location would be known.
This allowed them to take a small number of fresh game for a long time without being noticed.
But now, in wartime, the Gent Kingdom was destroyed.
That’s why they hunted without paying attention.
The quality is inferior, but the undead.
“It grows so fast because it ate so many undead.”
I clicked my tongue and had a thunderstorm.
And set fire to the mountain of corpses.
It was not done in the sense of mourning the death or resting in peace.
It was just because it was annoying to move when there were a lot of corpses.
I thought so while watching the hotly burning corpse.
“Whoa, Claus Solas. If you kill the demons here, you can get out, right?”
[…I’m asking quite late. First of all, yes to the question. If you kill the demons here, you should be able to get out. Of course, if it’s Artel, you don’t have to wear it, but you can go outside, right?]
It’s definitely what it says.
With my skills and strength, breaking through the ceiling is easy.
However, I became interested in the holy relics here.
“The Devil’s Mirror. It’s worth bringing.”
I smiled and went further inside.
My goal is the Demon God’s Mirror.
And for this I will kill Baal.
