Chapter 55 – Episode 55 – A Female Demon Appeared!
The next morning.
Finally, the day dawned when the monster-sweeping operation was implemented. This is the first actual performance after returning.
“Daron. Did you pack everything?”
“Simple food and water. And I checked all the weapons last night.”
It wasn’t long before we had breakfast and the convocation. Each of the knights was doing final maintenance. It was clear that they had heard about the number of monsters, and they were nervous.
“Where are you uncomfortable or anything like that?”
“I am in great shape.”
“If you think you are in danger, don’t overdo it and run away. Okay?”
“Okay.”
Ray worried about me like a soldier’s lover going to war. Ah, going to the battlefield is right. It wasn’t just going to hunt witches. It was a life-and-death war. There is a high probability that even the demons will intervene… It could be said that it was the prelude to the war with the demon king.
Unlike the succubus Alice, this demon must be a bad kid. As long as they brought the demons here, there is no excuse.
Boo-!
“I have to go.”
Received by Ray, I moved her steps.
.
.
.
I belonged to the advance party that Ariana belonged to. The princess was right behind him. Beside her are her imperial knights escorting her. Looking back for a second, it felt like the princess and her eyes met for a moment. It seems that since yesterday, when he opened his mouth well, his interest in me has increased a lot.
Even if I were a princess, I would be a coveted person named Daron. Although she is her soldier, even a little spit out of her knowledge brought back to her return would be of great use to her.
“The Demonic Beast Appears! Demonic appearance! It is to the left!”
“Everyone ready for battle!! Be aware of the rear too!”
At Ariana’s command, her knights enter the battle. The giant snake, anaconda, was much bigger than normal, befitting a monster. However, a small number of individuals could not use their strength in front of the knights. Also the Gold Eagle Knights. As the knights representing the empire, they are fucking strong.
“Looks like I’ve gotten a little stronger too.”
In order to measure my strength, I also took the lead. There weren’t even a few snakes anyway, so I was able to step out without hesitation. One or two black anacondas were weak compared to other monsters, but I could easily deal with them now.
“Daron. As you told me, stab her in the back of the head and she will die right away.”
Ryze warmed up a bit and then approached me. Black Anaconda’s weakness that only I knew about. It was the back of the head. This was information that only I did not need to know, so I gave it to the entire guild. Thanks to that, it didn’t take long for the knights to subdue the Black Anacondas.
“Daron. As much as I knew the original weakness, you sent them all at once.”
“Isn’t it possible, Vice-captain?”
“It’s possible for Captain Ariana and me, but it’s difficult for other knights to aim for the back of the snake’s head at once. You have become really strong.”
“Are you okay?”
Ryze quietly answers my question.
“Of course.”
There was no woman who hated seeing the man she loved grow stronger. The stronger I get, the more proud Ryze becomes, and the charms I feel for him will come out of me other than dick. A man with a strong dick becomes a man with overall ability.
The knights head towards the center of the forest again.
Even after that, there were several clashes with the Witchbeasts. However, thanks to the knights’ skillful handling of the small rodents, their footsteps did not stop.
“A guy with red hair has appeared!”
“He is poisonous!”
And indeed, the appearance of a red-headed snake almost proved my sincerity. The monster’s characteristics, weaknesses, etc. Were exactly what I said. While the wizards created a shield around the knights to beware of the poison, Ariana quickly jumped out and slashed the red head with her single sword. Even if he’s a knight, he’s going to have a hard time, but he’s fucking strong.
Because Ariana had dealt with such a dangerous beast, the time it took to get to the center of the forest was shorter than expected.
After a few more hours, a huge snake began to appear in the distance.
“All stop.”
At Ariana’s command, all the knights stopped. At first glance, it really looked like the king of snakes, but since the wizards used magnification magic, it was clear that snakes were gathering.
“It’s disgusting.”
Princess Asabel clicked her tongue and checked the countless snakes in the distance again. Even one of them is disgusting, but with so many of them gathered together, you might think it’s a bit disgusting.
“Leader. Do you think things will go as planned?”
“Yes, Your Highness. It would be nice to proceed as we set it up yesterday.”
The first plan was to assume that the big snake was the king. I was going to use a strategy to prepare for the giant monsters, such as chains and heavy equipment. However, the plan was changed after I revealed the true nature of this trap.
Several strategies came out, but in the end, only one strategy was chosen.
The operation was simple.
Ariana commands her knights.
“Everyone prepare for firework!”
The moment we approach, those snakes are sure to jump right at us. So it was right to attack from a distance. Even if she was the strongest Ariana here, she would not be able to overcome hundreds or thousands of snakes.
“The 1st and 2nd platoons of the 3rd company of magic cast fire magic, and the rest create magic barriers. And all the remaining knights prepare flaming arrows!”
There is nothing better than a fiery arrow when expelling insects. It’s no different than a snake. If it’s a bigger fire, it can’t be helped even if it’s a witch beast. A swamp anaconda might be able to escape the flames, but… , Not here. It was just a dense forest with many trees, no swamps.
“Captain!”
“You noticed this attack.”
The shape of the huge snake collapsed at once. As if he had noticed the signs of the knights’ attack, he collapsed at once like a castle on a sandy beach and started heading this way.
They seem to have been waiting for us to get closer, but they are already ready.
“Shoot!”
As soon as Ariana runs out of words, she attacks all of them. First, the fireballs of the wizards and the fire arrows of the knights rained down on those snakes, creating a magic barrier to prevent the spread of the flames.
It was such a simple thing, but in the previous episode, I took a lot of damage as I got closer without knowing anything.
Sparks fall precisely on the waves of snakes.
Meeeee
A rumbling sound not like a snake was echoed through the forest by those snakes. It was an unpleasant sound that gave me goosebumps.
“You ride well! Do you dare to invade the empire’s territory?”
Asabel looked at the flames ahead and clenched his fists. Come to think of it, he made a big contribution that year as well. It’s a bit inconvenient, but it doesn’t matter since the Templars take very little damage? As far as I know, several knights of the Imperial Knights were also killed, but thanks to me, their lives were saved.
“Launch!”
Along with Ariana’s cry, the next attack also rained down on the snakes.
Mehhhhh!
No matter how many it was, the number had no meaning in front of the Knights’ firework. There were still many snakes coming through the flames, but the distance was not yet close. If the firearms were linked like this, only dozens of snakes would come right in front of me.
It was then.
Brilliant ♩
The sound of the flute, in the middle of the cries of the snakes, could be heard. It was so noisy that I was drowned out by the noise around me. But for a very short time, in that moment when it was empty, it stuck in my ear.
If it’s a flute…
“Snakeman.”
Among the demons, there is a separate race that can control demon beasts. I roughly expected that the culprit of this situation was the snake charmer, but I didn’t know that the medium of control was the flute.
“But, Captain!”
The movements of the snakes changed after the momentary sound of the flute. The guys who honestly came this way started to scatter.
“Launch! Increase your shooting speed!”
Ariana instructed the wizard to chant faster. Not only did the snakes increase in speed, but they spread widely and came this way. In addition, whenever an attack came, several of them jumped up to greet them in the air. Because of their sacrifice, the other snakes were able to travel unharmed.
“Make a fire before the snakes move!”
Also Ariana. As the enemy turned anomalous, Ariana sensibly went into a defensive posture. If she can’t hit the sparks properly, she just needs to lay them in front of them beforehand.
However, as soon as Ariana’s words ran out, the movements of the snakes changed again. After barely making a fire, the snakes gather and use each other to cross over the fire.
And in this tense situation, another variable arises.
“Knock!”
When one knight shrieked, most of the attention was focused on it. A man who was revealed when a knight with a pierced stomach collapsed.
“Eh, it’s a demon!”
“These lowly human things!”
The knights around him rushed at the demon all at once. The demon pierced the knight’s armor with sharp claws.
“Gagging.”
After a few knights were hit, the first one to give the demon a blow appeared.
“ぅ.”
The one who made the demons retreat for a while. It was Vice-captain Ryze.
Ariana had to take her command, and Ryze was closer to the demons. Ryze faced off with the demons on equal footing.
“You are strong for a human! But it’s soft Among the Demons, only the Four Heavenly Kings can defeat me!”
“It’s great.”
… It wasn’t a whistle.
The demon’s weapon is a blade clad in magical power. However, Ryze was gradually being pushed back by the demons. Because she was her, she was able to hold on without being immediately attacked. That demon was quite strong.
“Shit.”
I let my heart out and looked around. Due to the appearance of the Demons, part of the ranks of the fireworkers collapsed. Besides, the snakes kept complicating the situation at Ariana’s command.
I immediately made the following decision.
Beep ♩
Another flute sound heard in an instant. I turned my head in that direction and started running straight away. The longer the delay, the more likely the knights will be fucked.
“Where are you going?!”
I heard a sound that suddenly caught me leaving the battlefield, but I ignored it and ran in the direction of the pipe. Just catch the snake charmer and that’s it.
But that voice I heard.
I think it must have been a princess.
Oh, I don’t know, it’ll be all right if you catch the snake charmer!
“Oh, it’s a female.”
In my eyes, I see a demon running away with a back view. It was a female with long hair and looking at the silence followed.
