Chapter 232 – 11-in Fact, the Kingdom of Zent Is a Demonic Realm.(8)
“Fuck. It’s fucking fucking.”
I gritted my teeth and looked up at the sky.
In the sky dyed in darkness, black magic trembled, and in the distance, King Hargedon could be seen slowly moving.
However, most of our forces are currently undergoing treatment, and Darkness and Clausolas are self-repairing.
“Whoa, at least it’s a relief that Darkness, Reisen, Rubel, and Russell woke up.”
Rubel’s side defended the aftermath of King Hargedon’s resurrection with magic, so there was little damage, and Russell was quickly healed and woke up thanks to his top-notch durability.
It’s not until full recovery, but Russell, who calmly says that the battle is possible, can be used as a reliable bait… Big! Was a colleague
[Look at Russell changing his words to say he’s looking]
“Shut up, I never said it out loud.”
[But I can read your thoughts!]
Darkness, who had recovered after absorbing my mana, giggled.
Darkness, who ravenously consumed magic with Claus Solas, who was slow to recover with my magic, perhaps because it was the holy sword, was restored to the same level as usual.
Thanks to that, about half of his mana was consumed, but Darkness was a useful weapon, so it was worth it.
Rather, it’s a question of how to kill that damn bone.
I didn’t expect that he would completely summon King Hargedon by offering himself as a sacrifice.
“This is why crazy people are the problem. I can’t predict what they’ll do.”
I felt bad because I thought of the old man who was staring at me for no reason.
I sighed and got up from my seat.
Behind me, soldiers and knights were retreating, and those who still had the strength to fight prepared for battle.
His Majesty has also fallen into the rear, and from now on, a battle like a real disaster will take place.
I looked up at King Hargedon one last time, then turned and approached one of the priests in the midst of retreat.
The priests were constantly pouring healing while moving the wounded.
Next to him were the rising Pope and Asuna.
I didn’t expect this, but the power increased more.
“Pope, Asuna. You’re awake.”
“Kuhmm… Prince Artel, welcome back. The recovery of the two of you has just been completed.”
“We poured all our divine power into restoring the Pope and Princess Asuna.”
The priests answered my words.
They heard of the current situation shortly after their recovery and bowed to me as they assisted the two sharpening their weapons.
I congratulated them for their work.
“Good job. Instead of simply restoring everyone, you focused your healing on a few to maximize the power you need now.”
I’m sorry to those who haven’t recovered, but I hope you understand the dangerous situation now.
In fact, the Pope and Asuna are a great force.
“But is everyone else’s recovery going well?”
Still, I was worried about other people, so I asked while looking around the wounded being transported.
Oh, of course, the saintess and the hero are excluded.
They’re not people, they’re bastards.
Anyway, at my question, the priests nodded and said,
“Once we got over the hurdle. Everyone was so strong and strong, so they recovered quickly and had excellent spirits.”
“They’re strong, but I’m glad they’re all right.”
“From now on, we will start intensive treatment. The priority is to put people who can be put in as soon as recovery is over… And, Princess Asuka is coming.”
The priest, who was talking about the priority of treatment, looked at me and brought up the story of Asuka’s coming.
At first glance, these words had nothing to do with the current situation, but I just laughed and said I knew.
Then, with a breath, he turned back to King Hargedon.
Behind me, the Pope and Asuna were following after finishing their arms.
A new order given to His Majesty the Emperor was to stop King Hargedon.
“But damn, how do I stop that big guy?
King Hargedon was incredibly gigantic.
Its size was not enough to be called a giant, and it was like a living mountain.
The huge sword and spear in their hands added one more factor to consider just by their existence.
If I accidentally get hit by a weapon wielded by that giant, my country won’t end safely.
That’s why I was worried
How to stop that giant, no, how to stop it.
“Ugh~”
I sighed and took out the darkness.
In any case, it seemed that I would have a sense of what to do with the engagement.
In particular, since I’m not doing anything like now, I can give you a fatal wound if I do well.
“I’ll wait here for now, and when His Majesty arrives at the safe rear, I’ll give you a signal, but as soon as I receive the signal, I’ll charge. Rubel and the Pope, while recovering from minor wounds, preserve your holy power and magical power as much as possible.”
“Okay. I can’t lose to anyone when it comes to divine power, so leave it to me.”
“…I haven’t fully recovered my mana, but I’ll try!”
According to my instructions, divine and magical powers enveloped us, and I checked Darkness’ condition once more.
The ship was more meticulous than usual in case there was any damage.
“Okay, it’s safe.”
I put the sword back in, looking at the undamaged Darkness with satisfaction.
Then something fell through the armor.
Concentrating on darkness, I forgot that my armor was damaged.
I looked at the damaged armor and saw the floor.
There was a black hand mirror, a demon mirror.
“Uh?”
I stooped down to pick it up and came up with the best idea.
Yeah, if it’s hard to block, I’d rather send it elsewhere.
I grinned at myself for thinking of something so simple.
Send King Hargedon to the Demon Realm.
It was in an instant that it became my strategy.
This was the moment when the so-called Operation: Gift from the Empire to the Demon World began.
[Wow, an evil expression came out. How to do toughness this time]
“Your personality means, don’t bring up stories that others might misunderstand.”
Grabbing the Devil’s mirror makes me smile.
Taking this holy relic was truly a godsend.
“Asuna, Pope, Rubel. Everyone gather around me. It’s a change of strategy. We’re sending him to another place from now on.”
I didn’t care about the people who were taken aback by my words, I drew my weapon and took a posture to attack.
Asuna must have read that I meant it, and pulled out her greatsword, while Reisen and Russell each took up their own weapons.
Rubel hastily buffed us.
The pope was also taken aback, but he consumed a large amount of his holy power and began to prepare for his huge blow.
Divine power wrapped around the Pope’s body and began to glow in golden light, reacting with the magic power spreading in the air and crackling.
It took an instant for the divine power to become a huge golden lightning spear.
And the pope’s lightning spear seemed to be dangerous even to King Hargedon, so King Hargedon, who had been quiet until now, began to move.
The horse-like lower body moved and slowly stepped forward. King Hargedon approached. Every step he took made the ground thump-thump-huge sound.
The sword and spear in both hands were ready to swing at us at any moment.
Watching this, I quietly announced the start of the battle.
“Now…”
“Huh.!”
At my words, the pope’s lightning spear flew in an instant.
The lightning spear, which was similar in size to the spear King Hargedon was holding, was poised to pierce King Hargedon’s body.
However, King Hargedon moved agilely, not befitting his gigantic size.
He struck the lightning spear with his own sword.
But it was a handshake.
Pajijijijik!!!
“Aaaaa!!!!!”
The lightning spear was a kind of energy weapon made up of divine power, and it could not be blocked with a simple knife, and the divine power of thunderbolt instantly spread through King Hargedon’s body.
King Hargedon was quite distressed by the golden sparks.
At the same time, we also ran.
“Asuna, aim for the legs! Rubel, restrain your movements as much as possible!”
Asuna silently raised her greatsword and severely cut King Hargedon’s foot.
A brief contest of strength ensued as the great sword collided with the solid bone, but Rubel’s appropriate support magic broke the bone and pushed his leg back.
Rubel held up his staff and used gravity magic as it was, and King Hargedon’s body leaned greatly as he was large.
As a result, Reisen wrapped herself in the wind and jumped over King Hargedon’s body.
She quickly ran and jumped near King Hargedon’s forehead, took out her hammer, which she didn’t know when she got it, wrapped it in the wind, and hit it hard.
A small storm erupted from his forehead and pushed King Hargedon further.
But King Hargedon tried to hold on without going over to the legs behind him.
The ground was crushed by the tremendous force, but the body stood firm.
The situation was enough to make me feel hopeless, but I laughed.
“As expected, that guy wasn’t in perfect condition!”
King Hargedon is the strongest undead, and it is said that his power splits the sea and cuts down mountains.
Even in the original work, with only fragments of that power, the low-class demons showed off a force equal to that of the Four Heavenly Kings, so the power could be said to be truly thrilling.
In any case, it is based on the state of full recovery.
The current King Hargedon was lacking somewhere by 2%.
And I’ll stick to that part.
“Let’s go, let’s finish him off!”
I laughed and took out the Darkness and ran.
For some reason, it seemed like I could see a scene in which the hero was upset that he had lost the ball again.
