Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~-Novel

Chapter 139: Demon Warrior

Goddess of Wisdom and Victory; Rena

I returned from Eld to my own palace in Elios.

The reason I went to Eld wasn't to meet Reiji and co, rather it was to entrust Kouki to my temple over there.

Kouki of course kept crying when I left him in their custody, but he was a strong child. That's why he knew that he couldn't keep crying.

Not to mention that I could meet him anytI wanted to.

That's why there was no problem at all.

Where have you been, Rena?

Suddenly, I heard someone's voice.

When I turned around, I saw my big brother, Alphos, had already stood behind me.

He was fully armed with his knight armor, something that I had rarely seen these days.

It's none of your business. Rather, it's rare to see you wearing your armor nowadays. What are you going to do?

There was only one reason I could think of for this frivolous brother of mine to wear his Holy Knight armor today.

I knew but decided to ask him.

Zarxis has revived. That's why I'll go to investigate the northland. The other Holy Knights have already gone first.

I frowned upon hearing that.

To the north? Are you going to Modegal?

Zarxis' stronghold, Modegal, was located in the north of Elios.

Since that land was filled with miasma, it was an extremely dangerous land for us.

Well, we won't step into his territory of course. The miasma seems to have beceven thicker than before now that its master returned.

At least, he wasn't stupid enough to step into that land.

Wise choice. Zarxis' power gets enhanced in that land after all. Maybe only the Demon King Modes can win against Zarxis in that land.

Agreed. That's why we have no choice but to observe the situation from the outside. Oh right, how about letting your Hero of Light-kun slip into that land? If it's him, he should be able to see the situation inside right?

Ha~h, what are you talking about, Alphos? They're way too conspicuous. Well, Nao might be able to infiltrate into that land, but her comrades won't allow her to do that. Not to mention that Reiji is simply a bad match against Zarxis. He'll only get himself killed if they fight.

Alphos wantedto use Reiji and his party as disposable pawns.

But considering the aftermath, that was by no means a good plan.

That's why I didn't tell Chiyuki about this matter.

Moreover, their current main job was to protect Kouki.

I see. Hero-kun is no match for Zarxis, huh. I guess we can't do anything about tha Wait a minute What about him?

Alphos suddenly paused as if recalling something.

Him? Who are you talking about?

The Dark Knight of course. What if it's him? He defeated me, right?

The Dark Knight.

Well, there was no need to ask him who he was talking about.

What if it was Kuroki who infiltrated that land?

Kuroki might be able to fight on par against Zarxis even in Modegal.

But still, it didn't change the fact that fighting in the capital of death was dangerous.

That's why I had no idea what would happen.

Like hell I know about that.

I turned around and spoke angrily at Alphos.

Alphos' remark crossed my mind as I walked.

I couldn't help but feel anxious about what would happen if Kuroki went to Modegal.

Maybe I wouldn't be able to save him when he was in danger.

But, what if I entrusted that matter to that girl?

If it was that girl, who caught the son of the reaper, she might be a better choice to save Kuroki if he ever fell into a dangerous situation in Modegal.

If Kuroki really went to Modegal, she might be the best choice to accompany him.

That was what I thought.

Faithful Apprentice Knight of Oudith

The Blue Forest spread in the nothern land near the border with Nargol.

Before, an ogre witch who ate anyone who was stranded in the forest was said to be living in the center of this forest.

But, that ogre witch had already gone.

She was gone and replaced with a beautiful silver-haired witch.

The silver witch turned the blue forest into an even more terrifying place.

Now, the monsters that only appeared in Nargol were also wandering in the forest.

The ogre witch alone had already made the forest into a terrifying place, alas, the silver witch turned the already terrifying place into a literal hellish place.

In fact, the people surrounding us, who were headed toward the center of the forest, were donned in heavy armor.

Every single one of them was wearing armor of a different color.

But, there was a common point among them, namely the thorns protruding from their armor.

These people were none other than the Evil Warriors who I had only heard about in legends.

Despite wearing such heavy armor, their movement was fast and nimble.

My comrades, the warrior priests, were defeated one after another.

Foolish humans. Treat this as our warning for you people. We will show no mercy next time.

Said one of the Evil Warriors as he pointed his sword toward me.

Just a glance of red glowing eyes between the gap of the visor of his helmet had sentinto the depth of despair.

Am I going to die in this place?

Death wasn't supposed to be this scary.

Fighting for God King-sama was an honor for us.

That was what I thought when I beca warrior priest.

And yet, I was trembling like a newborn fawn when I stood before death itself.

We were on the second expedition toward the center of the blue forest.

The first expedition was sponsored by the Velos Kingdom alas, ever since the failure of the 1st expedition, the Velos Kingdom decided to wash their hands from this matter.

That change of policy angered the priests of Oudith-sama in Velos kingdom.

According to them, there was a danger that the monsters from the Blue Forest would leave the forest and wreak havoc in the countries of this region, thus they decided to dispatch their warrior priests.

They sent everyone, including apprentice warriors like me.

And then, we defeated the bug monsters and advanced into the deep part of the forest.

The moment we stepped into the deep part of the forest, we were suddenly surrounded by a group of Evil Warriors.

They warned us that our lives would be forfeit if we advanced any further.

Naturally, none of my comrades gave a sh*t about their warning, which resulted in a battle between the two sides.

And I saw my comrades being slaughtered like pigs in front of me.

The sword used by the Evil Warriors was glowing red after sucking the blood of my comrades.

It was as if the sword was delighted.

WARRIORS! DO NOT FALTER! GOD KING-SAMA'S DIVINE PROTECTION IS WITH US!

The priest-sama, who wielded a giant mace, encouraged us.

It was a warrior priest, Old-sama. Our commander.

Even after he passed the age of fifty, he still played an active role as a warrior.

We regripped our weapons upon hearing Old-sama's encouragement.

But, we were still too scared to fight right now.

The only one who charged bravely was Old-sama.

Old-sama who received the divine protection of angel-sama could fight on par against the Evil Warriors.

Not bad! This Ward shall becyour opponent!

Suddenly, the Evil Warrior who fought Old-sama backed down, and another Evil Warrior with dark crimson armor and riding a horse cout from the depth of the forest.

The Evil Warrior called Ward seemed to be stronger than the other Evil Warriors.

His mount was also by no means a normal horse.

His horse was way bigger than normal horses and had fangs that shouldn't exist in normal horses.

That might be the demonic horse mentioned in legends.

The Evil Warrior called Ward got down from his horse and then pointed his sword toward Old-sama.

Though I couldn't see his face since his head was covered with a helmet, I got this feeling that he was smiling beneath that helmet.

Old-sama clenched his teeth in rage upon seeing this situation.

DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME, YOU DEMONFOLK! TAKE THIS HAMMER OF JUDGMENT!

When Old-sama raised his mace, the mace shone brightly.

This was the power of his divine protection.

The mace that gained the holy attribute could even smash that heavy armor.

Can this mace defeat that Evil Warrior?

I regained a bit of my courage amidst this despair.

Old-sama rushed toward his opponent while shouting the nof God King-sama.

His movement was fast.

FOOL!

But, Ward parried the blow so easily as he sneered at Old-sama.

What the?

And then, when Old-sama still had no idea what had just happened,

Ward's sword had already pierced Old-sama.

Seeing that, the rest of my comrades despaired even more than before.

Old-sama spat blood from his mouth and fell on the ground.

Well then, I've taken care of your commander. Still, feel like trying?

After saying that, Ward pointed his sword toward us.

My comrades and I were trembling in fear.

We were still dazed by the sight of how easily he defeated that Old-sama.

What shall we do with these survivors, Ward-sama? They seem to be losing their fighting spirit.

Leave them be, there's no worth in killing people who lost their fighting spirit. Not that they're stupid enough to enter any further either. Spare anyone who didn't go any further.

Said Ward as he climbed back on the back of his demonic horse.

We were powerless before the Evil Warriors who seemingly cfrom the bottom of hell.

They were too terrifying.

Though they spared my life, my heart wasn't at ease.

They existed to spread fear in this world.

Well then, gentlemen ofAdorable Kuna-sama's Fan Club. Let's go back to our princess.

Silver Witch; Kuna

Throne Room of The Sweet Castle.

Tibel, the dark fairy, suddenly appeared inside out of nowhere.

Tibel had a similar ability to Bushkey the butterfly, she could move between spaces easily.

That's why doors were meaningless before her.

Kuna-sama~. Ward and co have returne~d.

Tibel reported happily.

I see, let them in.

After I said so, the insect warrior opened the door.

Then warriors clad in heavy armor entered the room.

They were the Evil Warriors led by Ward.

Ward and co walked until they arrived before the throne Kuna sat in, and kneeled in deep reverence at once.

We've expelled the intruders, Kuna-sama.

I see, thanks for the hard work.

Ward and Co looked really delighted when I praised them.

Ward and Co were originally the human warriors who worshiped the Demon King.

And the daemons rewarded the people who worshiped and fought for the Demon King. One of those rewards was the evil armor.

It was an enchanted armor that struck fear in anyone who saw it and becthe standard armor for the evil armor.

The armor might look heavy but, since it elevated the physical ability of its wearer, the weight wasn't a big deal.

Maybe because it was inconvenient if there were only insect warriors in the sweet castle, the daemons sent them to Kuna as a gift.

At first, Kuna thought they were spies.

But, Ward and co's loyalty was the real deal.

Though I had no idea where their loyalty cfrom, it was a fact that they're handy.

Well then, Ward. Kuna has to leave the castle after this. Make sure you protect this castle during Kuna's absence.

HAH!

After saying so, I stood up from my throne and headed toward the private room of the lord of the sweet castle along with Tibel.

Kuroki contactedjust a while ago.

It seems he had to infiltrate into the land ruled by the reaper.

If that was the case, Kuna would be useful to him. That's why Kuna will go with him.

Clown, cout.

The next moment, someone with the figure of a clown appeared from the shadows.

As you wish, Kuna-sama~

Clown replied to Kuna's call with his usual creepy voice.

But, Kuna was too lazy to punch his face.

And Tibel.

Ye~s. Kuna-sama~

When I called her name, Tibel replied while fluttering in the air.

Let's go. I'll make full use of your ability on this occasion.
