Roughly Another World Tentacle 173

Chapter 173 – Reigning Monsters (2)

Unlike Nimuel, the creator of the world, who is often sought after.
This is because Premia is called the mother of all monsters, and she is regarded by everyone as something unpleasant.
At most, the Order of the Stars was allowed to keep the artworks dealing with Premia.

“It’s kind of hard to explain to someone you don’t know. So… There are cultists who worship evil gods.”
“Are you working on defeating those cultists?”
“Well. That’s right. We elves think we have to eliminate the cause of the demon lord. We’re assuming that the cause is Premia.”

The cause of the demon king.
I’ve never thought about it.
However, something like the ‘mother of all monsters’, which is unknown even if it exists,
There were people who really served…. Claire was the story of the unknown world.

“In a broad sense, it’s like fighting the demon lord.”
“Thank you for thinking that way. In fact, I think only the brave can directly fight the Demon King.”

Claire opened his eyes wide.
Maybe this elf… Have you ever seen the devil in person?
Claire thought so too. After receiving ‘Escalia’.

“I don’t even know if that black pillar is the Demon Lord.”
“Have you ever seen the Demon King?”
“Yes. Elves live a long time. Those who became demon lords in a human body are the generation of the King of Darkness.”

Chest King… ?
No matter how old the story is, Claire was dizzy as she reviewed the history studies she had learned as a child.
At least 500 years ago.

“I… Well…”
“… If you treat her like a grandmother, she will die?”
“……Yep.”
“Anyway, the demon lord’s unchanging characteristic is his overflowing destructive instinct. I don’t think it makes sense to stay calm like that.”
“Destructive instinct…”

It was similar to what I felt when I looked into Escalia’s eyes.
The will to destroy everything.
Incarnation of Destruction….

“It’s very different from that black one. It’s true that it’s evil on the level of a demon lord… But all the demon lords I’ve seen,
As if being born into this world was a curse, destroying everything was the default.”

Claire had a sudden realization while listening to Ellie’s story.
He knew that he felt the same way.

If that was the devil,

Or if it was a trigger.
Could it have come out in a different way?
It looks down on them like a strangely calm wave….

I don’t feel the will to harm humans.
Did Chokkai really break the pact?
If it’s awake, why doesn’t it attack?

Furnaul is not moving, as if it is stuck in an ambiguous time zone.
Same with Claire….

“Did you talk too much about me?”
“It was an interesting story. If it’s not the demon king, what is it?”
“Um~~ Well, I’m only interested in chasing Premia.”
“Maybe there’s a relationship.”
“Considering that it has something to do with Premia.”

Ellie pursed her lips slightly as if hesitant to speak.

“That might be more dangerous than we thought.”
“Do you have a corner for straw?”
“The term primitive evil. Have you heard of it?”

Primitive music?
Claire widened his eyes and shook his head.

“I’m hearing this for the first time.”
“It’s not a well-known concept.”

As if you want to teach.
As Claire opened her blue eyes wide open, Ellie smiled and continued her words.

“…〈 Primeval evil in the beginning 〉.”

The moment Ellie puts those words into her mouth as she waves her glass.
As if scolding who made such a disrespectful noise, her windows trembled with the wind….
Hear the sound of raindrops.

The room, on the contrary, became very quiet.

“They say it’s an old evil that existed even before the god of creation existed. I don’t know where the story came from.”
“Before the Creator existed…?”

I mean, it existed before this world existed.
It was a story in a realm that could not be measured with Claire’s imagination.
Who the hell saw that, and who told the story?

The story of an elf who has lived for hundreds of years….
It didn’t touch Claire’s reality.
He contained a reluctance somewhere that could not be ignored.

“The 〈 distant stars 〉 served by the Order of the Stars are also primitive evils of wisdom.”
“…Ah.”

I don’t know why
The moment he recalled the image of Captain Liana, who was always by her side, saying that let’s explore the wisdom of the distant stars together.
Claire found it a bit familiar.

“Then is the Holy Law the power of primitive evil?”
“〈 Distant Star 〉 In exchange for fulfilling their inquisitive spirit, we borrow the light of the stars. No one has ever come into contact with that entity.”
“…It was quite close to our daily lives.”
“Because it’s an alien being. No one knows what it really is.”

When it rains and the lightning strikes,
Ellie got up and closed the window and drew the curtains.
The secret space between the two of them became a little darker, and the candle light flickered dangerously.

“Are there other primitive music?”
“〈 Ugly Flesh〉….”

Profane words, one more time.
It leaked out of the pretty elf’s mouth.

“The incarnation of the lust for survival, the primordial evil of life… The mother of all monsters says that she gave birth to monsters with vitality overflowing with that power.”
“……Is that black pillar also the power of primitive evil?”
“What are you talking about?”

Ellie spoke in a bright voice, as if to refresh the atmosphere.

“I was just giving an example. What if it wasn’t the demon king? That was the story.”
“……Yes.”

Claire felt somehow guilty.
I feel like I’ve heard a story I shouldn’t have heard.

“How do you sleep when you think that something scary like that is in the middle of the city?”
“…I think so.”

To say that there is a being more fearful than the demon king in the world,
It was Claire who had never thought of it.
The perception of everyone in the world is similar.

The existence of a demon king who makes even a crying child stop crying,
If you think that something far beyond the old is lurking somewhere in this world, you suddenly get goosebumps.
If an unfathomable gigantic being from the outside world is watching them right now…….

Claire felt that even her confident sword skills were like a speck of dust.

‘What did Captain Liana say?’

We haven’t seen each other since I was captured by Chokkai.
However, if he takes that Liana as his wife, Chokgoe will suffer quite a bit.
Liana is not one of those lighthearted women who will never get anyone’s way.

When she thought of that, she smiled slightly.

“Who even came to mind?”
“It came up about the Church of the Star. It was among my acquaintances. He always told me to explore wisdom.”
“Hmm, you think you’re talented because of the size of your breasts?”
“……You say the same thing as Captain Liana.”
“It’s a joke. Please don’t take it seriously.”

The night was deep.
It’s 2:00 in the morning….
After putting down her drink, Claire put her hood on again and said.

“I’ll go now, Ellie.”
“Is it raining and lightning outside?”
“But we can’t sleep together. And…”

Claire touched the handle of the sword at his waist.
It is not 〈 White Dragon Sword 〉, a national treasure boasting fantastic sharpness.
It was just the best of the common quality swords that could be obtained anywhere.

“I can’t sleep unless I take care of this sword.”

It was the sword that Sirocco gave to her when she was young.

“Okay.”

Ellie said as she let her go.

“May the wisdom of 〈 distant stars 〉 be with you.”

When the door closes,
Claire is left in the dark.
Dark clouds cover the moonlight at night. Whenever lightning strikes, it regains its color as if the surroundings are burning brightly.
Claire moved to move to the inn.

‘Let’s hurry up.’

It rained more than expected, so the hood got wet quickly.
Claire, not wanting to get his armor wet in the rain, hastened his steps.
It was the time when thunder and lightning struck the tall spire of the distant castle, and the sky brightened for a moment.

“…”

Claire stopped abruptly.
It was because I could see a fearful figure behind the dark clouds.
The first time I didn’t know what it was, I looked into it, and the second time I saw it, I didn’t know what it was, so I kept staring blankly.

“Dragon…….”

Behind the dark clouds, the shape of a dragon appeared and disappeared like a shadow.
The dragon spreads its wings and flies, hovering over the castle and opening its mouth wide.
Numerous tentacles sprouted from the giant dragon’s mouth, wriggling as if beckoning to hell.

“……Turning!!”

〈 Demon King 〉 appeared.
Everyone goes into the house, locks the door, turns off the lights, and holds their breath.
Sounds of uneasiness seemed to linger in Claire’s ears, gathering together with the hum of the rain.

Everyone saw
The most odious dragon in the world, floating in the sky.

「Notice to all kingdom subjects」

“Ugh!!”

Soon, threatening tactile sensations penetrated Claire’s brain as well.

‘No way. Are you sending a message to the entire city…… ?’

「I am a tactile monster」

Claire gripped her sword tightly.
However, right now, it is impossible to capture the Chokkai as a target.
You have to run a fair distance to get that flying dragon into attack range.
In the meantime, I could fly and change location.

Claire bit his lip and waited for the chokkai’s voice to follow.

“I think the demon king is your biggest fear.”

“…?”

What are you talking about?
The voice injected directly into his head is annoying, but he is clearly asserting himself.

「Not from now on」

‘Are you talking while riding a dragon? It’s hard to know the echo because it’s not a voice. Perhaps….’

Claire looked around him.
You may already be nearby.
Wasn’t Chokkai good at deception? Claire was already in combat readiness.

“What you really have to fear are monsters.”

…… What is this
It was too bold a statement for a monster’s crime statement.
All monsters are beings under the devil, but now that monster has reversed it.

Above the Demon King, there is a monster!

A monstrous creature ejected from the tentacle dragon’s mouth and fell to the floor.

[Evil Lv.2112]
[Evil Lv.2233]
[Evil Type 2 Lv.3284]

‘These are… !’

A monster that appears near the black wavelength.
The tentacle dragon flies in a circle and sprays a wide range of black monsters.
In an instant, the city’s defenses were shaken.

Screams and battle sounds are everywhere.

“Kyaaaaagh!”
“What are these!”
“Damn it, wake up the sleepers!”

It was like then.
The assault on the capital of Chokkai has begun.
