62 6 魔王軍の残党




"No.

 I told Franjulas in no uncertain terms.

"I'm an enemy of the brave Yunos. But I will not join the demons.
I'm sorry.

 The beautiful vampire princess sighed with a sorrowful face.
 I'm not going to join the demons.

How about we work together where our interests coincide?
He's persistent.
...... Would you like me to disappear?

 Franjulas took a step back.

 But he's still eight meters away from me.
That's within range of the fixed damage.

 If I identify him as an enemy, the skill will be activated at that moment.
 No matter how much of a vampire true ancestor you are, you can't withstand 9999 damage.
 I'll have to find some way to withstand it, and even if he decides to strike back, Shea and Yurin will protect me.

The effect of the [Fixed Damage] skill is that it will continue to deal 9999 damage the moment the enemy enters the area, and every three seconds thereafter.
 Even if you can withstand it once or twice, it won't last long.

 Franjulous won't stand a chance.

 Let's kill him.
 At the very moment I was thinking of declaring Franjulous an enemy.

"Skill [Hexenbiest].

 Her whole body was enveloped in a black blur.
 At the same time, her body transformed into countless bats.

 The swarm of bats moved away from me with a super-fast flap of their wings.
The effect of the [Fixed Damage] was momentarily slow, and it seemed to be beyond the reach of Frangulus.

 The countless bats gathered in midair and returned to their original beautiful forms.
 As expected of the true ancestor of vampires, she has a wide variety of abilities.

You think you got away with it?

 I extended a black chain from my right hand.

There is a man in our hiding place that you are looking for. Would you like to meet him?

 Frangoulas lands on the ground.

"And... some tips on how to further hone your powers.

 His smile deepened.

 ...... This guy.

 I reached out with my chains to restrain him... and stopped him.

 I have to admit, I'm a little fascinated.

 Now what to do.
 I thought about it.

 Of course I'm not going to work with the demons against humanity.

 I just need the power to make sure I get my revenge.
 I can beat Margot and Fara no problem, but not Juno.

 Even though he was overwhelmed in the last confrontation, he still defeated the Demon King and has the [Light].
 There's no guarantee that he won't awaken to some kind of power at the last minute, and we don't know what kind of secret technique he has in the first place.

 You should be prepared for anything.

...... All right, show us the way.
"Master Chrom?

 Shea and Yurin shouted at the same time.

Don't worry. Don't worry. We're not taking sides with the demons.

 We're just trying to find out.
 We just need to find out if they have any use for us or not.



 The remnants of the Demon Lord's army have hideouts all over the world.

 I'm not going to let them get away with it.
 I heard that the high ranking demon Ragios guarding it was defeated.

 We're being led to another hideout.
 It's a few kilometers away from where we were, in the middle of a mountain.
 There is a hidden door at the end of a natural cave, and on the other side is a vast dungeon.

 The deepest part...

"Welcome to our base.

 In a huge hall-like room, Franjulas smiled.

 There are two chairs that resemble thrones.
 The two chairs are probably those of Ragios and Franjulas, the two leaders of the remnants of the Demon King's army.

 ...... Ragios is a huge dragon, so he can't sit on these chairs.
 It seems to have been set up as a mere decoration.
 And

"Humans: ......
No, there are demons in the mix. ......
It smells just like us. ......

 A myriad of red lights in the darkness.
 The eyes of the demons.

But that doesn't mean that humans should be allowed in here!

 One of them was coming at us.
 One of them came at us. It was a wolf-shaped demon, about five meters long.

It's about five meters long and looks like a wolf.

 The moment it got within ten meters of me, it sprayed blood and died.

"I'm sorry. I think it's killing him.

 A roar echoed from above me.
 A huge dragon was standing there.



"You are...

 Ragios, the Blue Dragon.
 I'm not sure what to make of that.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

 I said, pushing aside my inner doubts.

"I'm sorry.

 A sincere apology from Ragios.

"Our organization is still in the process of restructuring. Our personnel are a mixed bag.

 Well, Juno and the others have defeated most of the Demon Lord's army.

"You brought him here successfully? Is that the host of the Darkness to oppose Yuno?

 With the voice came the sound of footsteps approaching.
 A knight clad in full body armor appears from the darkness.

"You...

 I widened my eyes in surprise.

 Why are you in this place?
 Why are you, a member of the heroic party, in the stronghold of the demon race...

"Margot ......!
"Chrome-......?

 Margot was also looking at me with a look of surprise.
