Doug dies with a true expression under the choppy thin cloud sky.

But, the Lesser Demon and his genus do not move at all.

No, wait.

It ’s so full of self that control has failed!

That's strange? Are you sick? Dougl taps the demon summoning jar while tilting his head.

Maybe, but that won't fix it.

"Hey demons? Neat? I can't afford to make them neat."

Doug calls out to the demons, sweating his forehead as you can see from a distance. If it is seriously out of order, the demons who are waiting for the summoner to strip their fangs are waiting. It is dangerous because it attacks indiscriminately.

What's going on?

"No, that doesn't mean it won't attack. I can't attack."

Anna, who floats side by side with me, explained with her arms folded.

I don't understand more and more.

In short, why?

"They are confused. A sign of me in you. I feel the sign of the Ark Demon. "

Ah, maybe I've come to understand what I mean. In other words, you are afraid of Anna (me), who is a superior demon than ourselves.

"Then, maybe you don't have to fight?"

Anna shakes his head and shatters my sweet illusion.

"Those guys are stupid. I think it's because of such a sign and I'll attack immediately. "

"... Then who is the lesser?"

"He's also confused. I'll attack you directly. "

Why?

"Because it's smarter than the genus. I immediately understand that you are not an arc demon. "

"No!"

Nodding Anna makes it look a little bad.

I was going to fight from the beginning, and I don't care so much, but now ... In the end, someone had to get rid of the foreign matter called into this world. I'm the only one who can play the role.

As Anna says, the Lesser Demon and his genus suddenly began to move as if they had come back to life. With the two genus as the avant-garde, they came to me to form a V shape.

Well, it seems that it's time to get hungry.

I look down on my left arm. A glimpse of jade color can be seen between the leather gloves and the sleeves. I don't know how far I can go with this prosthetic hand--

"No, Florry."

Anna talked to me as if it had changed.

"What. I'm busy, can you talk later?"

Anna stood in front of me softly and looked straight at me with a serious expression.

"Run away"

Who would have imagined such a word?

"Huh?"

I inadvertently asked back.

"Don't you forget the level drain on you?"

As Anna says, my current fighting ability is far short of the heyday.

Due to the curse that the Ark Demon cast on the verge of perishing, his arm as a warrior is average or less. In other words, it is not strong enough to fight one-on-one with the genus. Especially if you are a lesser partner. However, even though it is self-proclaimed, is that what the person in question says?

"You have nothing to do with this village. No one will complain when they run away. "

It is a hallucination that says something strange.

"Then, if you say that much, release it. Then everything will fit in a circle."

Of course, the purpose was to go to my church city.

Anna looks like she has bitten a few bitter worms together and tells her to moan.

"Then it's impossible."

"Are you not spared your life?"

Anna tells me to stay still.

Involuntarily, a dry laugh came out.

"At this time, I'll tell you, the self-proclaimed Ark Demon Hallucination."

I point out the approaching demon and the dark priest with a mace.

"There are no two letters of retreat in the temple knight in the face of wickedness. Besides, even if you are not a temple knight, you will not run away. Human beings are ruthless enough to abandon those who beg for help. will not separate"

The words I heard a long time ago flowed many times in me.

I took a step forward. Profile of Anna passing by.

"The essence of a person is to fight to protect someone. That's why you can do what you can't do. That's why you can defeat the Ark Demon. Did you forget?"

Light extends from the break in the clouds. My shadow stretched straight toward the demons. And today-it's a dazzling full moon.

Anna had his eyes rounded, as if dismayed.

Gradually, Anna's well-shaped lips leaked a laugh similar to sighing.

"... That's right, that's right. It seems that if you live for a long time, you will have a lot of forgetfulness. Stupid human beings, show me the strength and stuff of that feeling. "

Why do people who are not in this world lick humans like this? I wonder if I can't tell unless I hit it with a stick.

In the first place, I can't help myself. So I'll show you.

"Why do you mumble alone. Do you even beg for life?"

Doug has a lowly laugh on the edge of his mouth.

"Joke. I was laughing at your lack of luck."

I threw the mace. Next, remove the metal fittings of the shield fixed to his left arm and drop it on the spot.

Doug turns a suspicious expression. I don't seem to know what I mean by throwing away weapons one after another.

I spread my hands and carry the moonlight on my whole body.

"Dark priest wouldn't forget. On a full moon night, the magic of the demon weakens."

That is--the same is true for level drain.

I pointed to the sky.

Doug is hung and moves his gaze. A glimpse of the round moon shining brightly through the gaps in the clouds. There is no chip in it. For a moment, a shadow was reflected on Doug's expression.

"What's the matter? You need the magic of a demon to tear a little girl? You can't even send an army to a wolf opponent."

"Oh, sorry. A temple knight would move the entire army of the Order of Religion against one evil spirit."

The sound disappeared from the world for a moment. And dissonance.

The sound of squeaking that is not in the world.

My left arm bounced. All ball-jointed dolls started to move by themselves like crazy.

Doug is scared, then turns his eyes to his left arm as if he were looking at something creepy.

I took off the cramped leather gloves. Roughly roll up the sleeves. The jade-colored inorganic prosthesis is exposed in the moonlight. The prosthesis itself emits a faint light, not by the moonlight. The dry magical power fills up.

Tonight is the full moon. The curse of the Ark Demon was weakened, so there was no chain to warn me. Now, I am out of the influence of level drain!

"I will make you regret having met me on this day today."

When I brought the magical greatsword on my back to the front, I pulled it out of the sheath at once. The thrown scabbard bounced off the ground. What appeared was a jet-black sword. The runes are engraved on it, giving off a terrifying magical light that is suitable for being called a magic sword. A sword that controlled chaos by law.

People call this sword the magic sword Stormbringer that cannot be pulled out.
