Chapter 45 – The Devil, Boual (2)
“…”
“…”
Silence for a while.
I saw the princess smiling awkwardly and felt her backbone tighten.
I’m sure he just told me to bring someone who should be in Chepeshu’s mainland, but why did the princess follow me?
“… What are you doing here, Her Highness Iris?”
“Oh, that, over there. The demons…”
The princess, like the princess, is gibberish.
Since she was there on the day of her duel, there was no way that her hero, she, would not recognize her demonic power…
Anyway, from Iris’ point of view, I didn’t know that she was a hero.
So she has to hide from me that she is a hero.
In the meantime, as a warrior, she ran after the word devil, but she couldn’t reveal that she was a warrior, so she couldn’t come up with a proper excuse…
“I won’t ask more since you seem to have circumstances that you can’t tell, but can we say that Your Highness’s visit and the imperial family’s intentions are separate?”
“Yeah, yes. Yes… It’s my opinion…”
Grass is dead
It’s just a guess, but it seems the goddess has tipped me off about my fight with the demon lord before I lost my memory.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the bizarre kindness shown to me.
Actually, I don’t even know how I fought the demon lord or what state the demon lord is in.
In any case, hearing the words that seemed to be guarded against the object of her favor for not drawing a line, made a girl in her prime die.
It’s not a matter of just passing through.
“Queen.”
“… Yes, Scarlett.”
When I called the queen who was standing by her side, she quickly called me Lady Scarlett instead of Her Majesty.
Only at this level can you say that you are the unified monarch of the great forest. I was satisfied on the inside, and calm on the outside.
“Can you give me a room? I think I need to talk to Her Highness for a while.”
“Yes?”
“I will prepare.”
The queen withdrew, leaving the flustered Iris behind.
I don’t know what misunderstanding the princess, whose pupils tremble, thought of pampering her once she came to her feet.
My “Grant” Is almost all-powerful, but there are no attributes that cannot be “Granted” At all.
First of all, things like “Sunlight” And “Divine”, Which are almost incompatible with me as a vampire.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m still immature or if it’s impossible at all, but the important thing is that it’s impossible right now.
Of course, since the best way to completely annihilate demons is to attack with [Divinity].
“Majesty.”
“Yes yes?”
“There are a lot of eyes to see here. Please change your seat.”
Farr.
The corner of the princess’s mouth trembled.
“What, what——”
“I think I need divine power.”
Back.
He continued before a high-pitched, screaming cry erupted.
Pop. The princess’s mouth was closed. She stiffened, and she wondered if she had heard it wrong.
However, before Iris was a princess, she was a warrior.
She regained her composure in an instant and nodded her head.
“… Shall we talk in detail, just the two of us?”
“Yes.”
If they failed to extinguish Bial, they tried to make it impossible to regenerate and seal it, but if the princess helped them well, she would be able to extinguish it altogether.
I smiled softly, not even hiding the corner of her mouth that was about to go up on its own.
Two dozen boals.
You’re dead.
The only good devil is a dead devil.
I was thinking of making Boual into a good devil today.
When Iris and I were left alone in the room the queen had guided me to, Iris pushed me against the wall.
Should I say it feels like a wall knock?
As they got closer, the smell of the princess’s body wafted up. As the name suggests, the scent is close to that of flowers, so I involuntarily winked at the tip of her nose.
“Gong Chepesch.”
“… Oh, sorry.”
The princess took a step away from her blushing face.
“Hmm. … So, what happened?”
“Are you asking how I know that Her Highness, the princess, knows how to handle her holy power?”
“What else is there?”
“No, but.”
Iris looked at me carefully with her arms crossed. In her eyes, she had no hostility toward me.
However, there was a glimpse of her wariness, but I don’t know if it was wariness that he might know her identity, or shame for smelling the body odor of a woman in her prime right in front of her nose.
“Well. Wouldn’t it be a revelation?”
“… Do you think that makes sense, Prince Chepes?”
Hmm.
She’s been flirting, but it doesn’t work either. Well, it’s strange that there’s a goddess who gives revelations on the other side, so it’s strange that she wants to communicate with her.
I sighed.
I’m going to give you a little bit of honesty here.
“There is no hero who cannot handle divine power.”
“Are you noticing?”
Iris entered as if she had been waiting for it. I nodded her head. But here, how far do you show my information?
“I thought you were still holding on to a revelation from long ago… !”
… What?
“Gong Chepesch. I am the princess of the empire, but as a warrior who was bestowed with her holy sword by the goddess before that, she is truly grateful to Prince Chepes, who made countless sacrifices to save the continent.”
… Uh?
“Even the goddess is sad that Prince Chepeshu didn’t pray these days and we couldn’t talk for a long time, but that’s all for a reason, right?”
“… Ah yes.”
“Also… Can I ask what happened, if you don’t mind?”
I’m in trouble.
There is so much new information coming in than I thought.
First. It became clear that there was some kind of connection between me and the goddess before I lost my memory.
I knew that the way was done through my prayers. I don’t know exactly what kind of connection it was, but first of all, the goddess had a good character, so she wouldn’t have to worry about me being taken advantage of.
And…
Perhaps even the goddess didn’t know that I fought the demon king. If he had known, the goddess would have informed the princess right away.
They don’t seem to know that I’ve lost my memory…
Should I hide it a bit more?
Contemplating, I shook my head.
“I will tell you when the time is right.”
“Ah yes. Please tell me anytime. Prince Chepes.”
“Instead…”
“Yes?”
My choice was half and half.
It was not necessary to tell him everything, but he decided to give an appropriate amount of information in order to receive the princess’s help.
But before that. I decided to tease Iris a little.
“For details, let’s talk about it after we defeat the devil.”
“Oh. No. Yes…”
There’s no reason why it’s any different. Just.
It’s nice to see a pretty girl fret, why?
*
The first thing he did after leaving Iris and her room was to incinerate the sacrifices he had made to the devil.
Since those sacrifices are the medium that connects the present world and the devil, I “Sever” The connection between the devil and the sacrifices through “Blessing”, And Iris incinerates the remains of the demons with divine power.
When she met Magi, her divine power, which burned Magi like a pure white flame, lit up the backyard of the palace.
“It’s nice.”
“That means that the demonic spirit has deeply rooted.”
It was as Iris said.
Just as the more things to burn, the stronger the fire, and since the amount of magic that Boal sown through the prince is enormous, the divine power can burn the demonic energy endlessly.
“After annihilating it, I need to go around the great forest and purify it a bit.”
“Iknow, right…”
Magi, which is determined and sown, contaminates the forest.
It is highly likely that the forest has already been contaminated. The prince had already signed a contract with Boual for a long time, and there was no way that the guy who tried to turn the entire forest into a demonic world wouldn’t have polluted the forest.
“There must be a lot to do.”
“Whoa.”
Iris let out a sigh as if she was losing her strength at my words, but quickly regained her stance.
“I have to do it anyway.”
“Are you a warrior?”
“Yes. Because you are a warrior.”
“Awesome. I will help.”
“It’s very encouraging to hear that someone you admire is helping you.”
I don’t remember.
I laughed haha and passed Iris’s words.
I should start by saying that I don’t remember when I finish my work.
*
After everything is ready.
The prince, who looked nothing like a rag, was dragged in.
The face of Queen Skadi, who had been watching, became confused, but that was all.
I also thought, no matter how much I hated my son, I must still be upset that my son ended up like that.
There was no way she would betray him now. Because of her right now, her son, everything she had done for her almost disappeared overnight.
Furthermore.
“Mother… ! Mother, please save me… Mother… !”
He tried desperately and squeezed as hard as he could to call Queen Skadi, but she averted her eyes.
A red pattern embroidered on the pure white nape of the neck. It was just her short form because time was running out and she was hastily engraving it, but it was proof of the oath that she belonged to me.
With her mission to defend her own kingdom, she was determined to give me everything else.
And it was her son who brought her to that point.
Queen Skadi looked down with her young eyes in contempt at her son, who seemed to have wavered when she did.
“How can a sinner dare to be a child of the queen?”
“… !”
It was a declaration of isolation, uttered in an angry voice.
Perhaps it was his mother who he believed in until the end, but the prince who had been abandoned by his mother was devastated and hung his head.
“Let’s start.”
“Yes.”
Of course, I didn’t care if his mentality was broken or not, so I decided to start working right away.
If the demons had descended into the present world through the dimensional gate, such complicated work would not have been necessary. In the first place, annihilating the devil at this point in itself was an expedient that was only possible because of the princess and me.
I unfolded a total of five “Lines”.
Summons, Separation, Binding, Weakening, Critical.
Lines, each endowed with five attributes, pierced the prince.
Summons.
A dirty black mist rose from his body.
It is the main body of the demon that contracted with him, Bual.
Originally, Boal, who would have only imparted power from the dimension beyond through a contract, was forcibly dragged into the present world with my own hands.
Separation.
Since it was summoned through the medium of the contract, the body of Boual, which only dwells in the body of the prince, is separated from him.
“Quaaaaagh!”
I don’t know if it was the scream of the prince being separated, or the scream of Boual being forced out, but it didn’t sound very good.
Third, bondage.
The line wrapped around the demon’s gigantic body before the separated Bual went into a riot.
It was a line thinner than a rope, but once restrained, the body could not resist.
Fourth, weakness and fatality.
It is a preparation that makes it possible to fully annihilate the body with the divine power of Iris, which has not yet fully bloomed as a hero.
It weakened its durability and regenerative power, and made it fatal even with Iris’s blow.
At this point, Boual also seemed to feel uneasy.
While bound by the law of “Bondage”, She forcibly twists her body.
“These guys! These insignificant bastards! I know who this body is!”
Pood deude deuk.
His body is torn apart The more he resists, the stronger the power of the “Bondage” Becomes and restrains him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break a single pile of stones properly.
I watched him for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“Majesty.”
There was no answer.
However, I felt a dazzling group of lights that were brighter than the pure white flames that had been rising while burning demonic spirits earlier.
─.
“Your majesty! Your majesty! Please save me! This boal! Please look down on this boal of your faithfulness——!”
The guy who felt death intuition cried out to the demon lord.
I smiled.
“Why are you looking for someone who will be busy taking care of himself right now?”
“────!”
Last minute.
He must have heard my muttering, but Bial, who opened his eyes, looked at me and seemed to be shouting something.
Well.
I couldn’t hear if it was buried by the blow of the holy sword.
