Chapter 172 – 8-Beast Flood (2)
It didn’t take long for me to reach the Shine family’s villa.
And as soon as I arrived, I shouted at everyone in the villa.
“Gather in the living room right now!”
After making the entire villa reverberate, I hurriedly went into my room.
In my room, the red armor and the demon king’s sword were stuck in the corner, and I hurriedly took these.
Unless you have an accurate understanding of what’s going on, it’s best to pack everything you can.
But there was one thing I forgot.
It means that the sword I brought is the sword of the Demon Lord and the black sword I newly acquired.
And of course, the holy sword, Claus Solas, roared like a cat and pursued me, and was awakened by the cry of the holy sword. Or have you been awake since the beginning? Darkness, the demon king sword, also strongly resisted.
[Kyaaaaa! A sword with the energy of a dirty demon! How did this happen! The energy of this demon king! I have Are you not satisfied with me!]
[Eh!? You brought me a new weapon when I already have great weapons!? That is unfair!]
[Eight! Shut up! Do you dare to compete with me for a weapon with the power of a dirty devil! I am a great weapon that creates heroes and guides them! As the first holy sword, he is the one who led the first hero!]
[Wow… Self-congratulatory. I don’t want to go out with a guy like that…]
[That’s what this side will do!]
It was truly a total mess.
Claus Solas immediately quarreled with Darkness and shouted to abandon Darkness, and Darkness ignored such Claus Solas and just said what he had to say.
[Hit! Artel! I ate that devil or something and my strength recovered even more! If this is enough, I think I will be able to show strong physical power in the present world soon!]
[For a moment! Artel! Are you helping this filthy demon! It’s not possible. It’s a no-no! I will definitely stop this!]
[Eight! Shut up! And Artel is my contractor and has been with me longer! If you don’t know, shut your mouth and stay calm!]
[Sounds not even funny!]
Looking at Claus Solas and Darkness, who were insulting each other and trying to fight, I sighed and at the same time destroyed them both with a thunderbolt.
[Kyaaaaah♥]
[Kyaaaaa!!!]
“Whoa… Do it in moderation, and everyone’s gills will grow. It’s not you guys who decide what’s next, it’s me. I’ll take care of this.”
Saying that, I went down to the living room with the Demon King Sword on my waist.
In the living room, the party was properly gathered.
Ruri and Rubel are beggars because the land has been completely blown away. There was nothing to do, so I was relaxing here. All the members gathered, including Russell, who had already been cured for a long time, and Senia and Mist, who had come armed to my calling.
“But what about Arnell?”
“Annel was taken away by her grandfather. Looking back, it seems that there is a problem with the manor in the manor. Oppa!”
“I see… Is it something that even the Shine family recognizes as a significant problem?”
I looked at the party and gave the order.
“You guys will move with me from now on. But you guys are neither soldiers nor knights, nor do you have the status of a magician like Rubel or Ruri, so you will accompany me as my servants.”
Too bad, wizard. Rubel, who has the title of a great wizard with tremendous skills, and Luri, who seems to be at least a senior, can rightfully join my army.
However, Senia, Mist, and Russell, girls whose skills have not been verified, cannot join my army as soldiers or knights, and the only way left is to take them as servants.
And, as if they understood the situation in their own way, they didn’t particularly object to what he said.
“Okay. Then I’ll meet His Majesty the Emperor and come. You guys, prepare thoroughly. And among the monsters you’ll be facing this time, you’ll have top-notch monsters, so you’ll have to be very nervous.”
At my words, Senia and Mist were very nervous and said, “Okay! Leave it to me!” I shouted proudly, and Russell glanced at me and said a small “Yes” With her face blushing.
And as soon as I finished my words, Rubel and Ruri were seen swallowing saliva and gripping their magic wands tightly.
Apparently, these two seemed to be well aware of the majesty of the top-notch Witchbeast.
On the other hand, he lightly warned Senia, Mist, and Russell, who were not familiar with the top-level magic beasts.
“A top-notch Witchbeast is like a living legend. Each individual is different, but it’s probably… Russell, it’s stronger than the Black Knight you fought against.”
“As expected, you must not be careless. Thanks for letting me know, oppa.”
At my words, the faces of the party hardened, but this kind of warning is absolutely necessary.
It’s because it’s funny as it is if you don’t know anything and run after it.
“Anyway, I warned you. I’ll go to His Majesty the Emperor!”
After saying that, I hurriedly left the villa and moved to the recruitment site.
————
Currently, the damage caused by the demons is devastating.
A flood of monsters that came at an unexpected time. In addition, the combination of top-notch magicians broke through the territory and castle and charged.
In this situation, Shine Artel, who was hastily summoned by the emperor, became confused.
There were so many factors to take care of.
As he had predicted, he thought that the flood of Demon Beasts was the work of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but even the Four Heavenly Kings could not control the highest level of Demonic Beasts.
If so, is there a separate black curtain? Or is there another reason why the highest-ranking Witchbeast joined the army of Witchbeasts? It was so complicated.
If you need to, you can destroy everything, but you know the extent of me, and I know that the difference in overwhelming power causes fear and fear as well as awe.
The reason why I didn’t do my best even though I was using my strength so far was to plant the perception that ‘I am a nobleman with great skills’ to knights and high-ranking officials such as the emperor.
If I exert all my might here, I will no longer be a capable nobleman.
It has overwhelming power and becomes a living disaster that cannot be resisted.
Of course, he is incredibly strong for his age, but there is a legend that says that the hero was the strongest among humans at the age of 10, so there is no problem.
In any case, there is insufficient information to understand this complex situation. In response to the emperor’s summons, he decided to obtain information.
He immediately ran to the meeting room of the imperial palace.
The conference room built in the imperial palace is a place where wars and policies are decided, and all remarks made here are a sacred place where they are recorded as official statements.
When I ran so quickly with Asuna, the emperor was wearing golden armor and leading a large number of knights.
The emperor looked at the high-ranking military officials gathering one after another. As soon as I entered, the high-ranking military officials seemed to have all gathered, and the emperor slowly opened his mouth.
“You must have heard the news, so let’s order quickly. The number of troops that can be used in the imperial capital is about 50,000 knights, and the strength is about 100. I will personally command the knights in the imperial palace.”
“Shin Pelex. Now, I will be in advance in the territory where the beasts will run past.”
“Shin Alet. I will lead 5,000 troops and block the influx of demons in the frontline area where demons constantly attack.”
“Okay. But Sir Allett’s forces alone will make it difficult to block the monsters and maintain the front line, so join with others to achieve at least 100,000 before advancing!”
The emperor and his military superiors were quick to assess the situation and either give instructions or try to find the location they needed to go on their own.
The Empire prioritizes everything related to the military above all else, so most military officials are filled with veterans who have experienced wars and beasts many times.
In the first place, for a young boy like me to become a high-ranking military officer was truly an innovation.
And finally, the Emperor gave me an order.
“Shine Artel. But as you might have guessed, strangely, all the magic beasts are now moving to the Lillit family’s territory. I think ‘something’ or ‘someone’ in the Lillit family caused this incident.”
“Me too. Your Majesty the Emperor. No matter how you look at it, this is proof that something happened inside the Lillit family estate. In fact, the Lillit family head even went so far as to intrude on this party, so it won’t be a normal thing.”
“That’s right. In the worst case… I think we should be suspicious of treason.”
“Quiet! I’m giving orders to Shine Artel now!”
All at once, the nobles shut their mouths at the emperor’s scolding.
The emperor silenced the people with one shout, then looked at me and gave the order.
“Shine Artel! From now on, you, along with my daughter and leader of the Silver Knights, Bubbleratio Asuna, break through the beasts and go to the Lilith family’s territory!”
At the Emperor’s words, Shine Artel couldn’t help but be surprised.
To be honest, it was because he was thinking about what excuse he would come up with to confront the Lillit family.
However, the emperor gave a truly appropriate order as if he had noticed Artel’s troubles.
It was the best news for me, who thought I was going to tinker with the brains of the emperor and the people here.
“Okay. Leave it to me. Your Majesty the Emperor!”
I smiled confidently.
All that remains is to go to the Lilith family and eat Lilith Belly and her sisters.
