359 - - Episode 23: The 11th master?

'The castle of the Witch Kingdoms is blown to bits before we can get our hands on it?'

Yes, sir. Almost as soon as the light went up into the sky, it was blown to pieces from the inside out. After that, a man who looked like a racial figure crawled out of the basement of the ruins of the royal castle, but he was uninjured and rampaging around. ......

As I wait for Ellie's report in her office on the lowest level of the "abyss," I receive a reminder from her.

I was inwardly thinking, "You are working much faster than expected," and she reported a telepathic message like the one I just received from her.

I also receive another telepathic report from Ellie.

The race crawls out of the underground rubble, its limbs covered in a black mist-like substance, and it begins to rampage like a beast without reason.

Judging that it is dangerous to approach the creature, we checked its name and occupation from a distance, and confirmed that its level is 9999, although it is unreadable due to a bug (madness).

The title is also misspelled like the others, and is displayed as "■Kami" or "■ri-kami". From his rampant behavior, Ellie adds that he might be labeled as a "mad god" or a "possessed god," if she had to guess.

(I can't believe there were level 9999s like us in the demon kingdom. ...... If he blew up the castle of the King of Majinkoku, is he the one who destroyed my hometown?)

I immediately shake my head at the thought.

From Ellie's words, I would guess that he is in a runaway state.

He is above level 9000, but if he is the one who destroyed my hometown, I don't understand why he has remained quiet until now.

Next comes the question, 'Is he a master too?

However, when I asked Miki before, she said, "Five people on the demon race side and five people on the dragon race side, ten people in total, killed Daigo, didn't they?　So as far as I know, there are only nine "masters" in this world? He mouthed the words.

It is possible that he is the "Master" on the dragon race side of the rampage. ......

There is too little information to make any kind of judgment.

'Ellie, do you have any information about him who is rampaging now that Gila and Doc don't remember him?

I am sorry. I didn't have much information on Doc the Great Sinner, who seemed to be interested only in his own research. There was some interesting information about Gila, but nothing about him.

Interesting information?

Yes, information about the 'C' word, which has nothing to do with the current situation.

Ellie briefly tells us what the "interesting information" is.

The information in Gila's possession was about "C".

The dragon people, "Master" and his group, see "C" as an enemy, but they understand that they will never win, so they have a plan called "Project A." The "Project A" is a plan to defeat "C" and its allies.

Project A" is a plan to escape from "C.

However, Gira, the "Master" on the Majin nation side, was thinking how good it would feel if he could cut through and defeat the mighty "C" with his own hands.

Gira himself was confident that he could kill even "C" by using his trump card, "Fool's Slope.

Therefore, if Gira himself killed "C," he was looking forward to seeing what kind of a fool the dragon people, who were trying to escape from "Master" and the others, would look like.

(Interesting information to be sure, but it's irrelevant right now. ......)

After hearing the information from Ellie, I have the same opinion as she does.

After listening to her story and thinking about it for a few seconds - I made a decision.

Ellie, stay out of his way and wait for a while. I'm going to go talk to Miki now. She might have some information. If the rampaging man attacks you, get out of there immediately. I don't want to challenge level 9999 without any information.

I am in awe of you. Then I will keep my distance and watch anyway.

Upon hearing my instructions, Ellie immediately understood her role.

Ellie would be in charge of the surveillance.

As soon as I hang up the telepath, I instruct the fairy maid to make an appointment with someone who might know - Miki - in order to find out the identity of the man who is currently rampaging in the capital of the demon kingdom.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

What a lie!　Is it true that level 9999 is rampaging through the capital of the Demon Nation?

From the way you talk, I'd say you know something.

As soon as he makes an appointment, he talks to Miki, a former "master" on the devil country side, over the cell at the bottom of the "abyss" where Miki is.

Normally, I would have liked to take him out of the cell as a matter of courtesy and let him talk to me in a proper setting, but I didn't even have time for that right now.

From Miki's demeanor, I immediately understood that she had some information.

She peeks out from the door of the cell, which is partially barred at the top, and begins to organize the information in her mind.

I never thought I'd be able to catch up with that first prince of Volos (the self-absorbed prince) until I got that thing out of there. ...... That means that, aside from Doc, he also defeated Gou (the leader) in a way that you can understand, right?　Hmmm...I never thought I would even beat that leader. Mikie, I think I may have estimated the value of Light-chan and the others too low. I'll have to revise my assessment. ......

"............"

Miki mumbles, understanding that we are listening.

When I finish organizing the information, Miki calls out to me, smiling.

You must be the level 9999 guy who is currently rampaging in the capital of the demon nation, right?　If I'm right, Miki, I know that guy.

If Miki knows, then is that level 9999 still 'Master'?　But Miki told you that before."

I speak up, remembering her statement.

She said, "'Five people on the demon race side and five people on the dragon race side, a total of ten people killed Daigo, didn't they?　So as far as Mikie knows, there are only nine "masters" in this world? And. Could that be the eleventh 'master' who shouldn't be here?"

Lighty, that's not accurate. That makes it sound like Miki was lying. But I said something to mislead you, too, didn't I? Hmmm...can we do without compensation this time?　Information is information, but it's a little too close for laughs.

Miki was convinced by one and made a nasty smile.

Mikie did indeed say, "Five on the demon race side and five on the dragon race side, for a total of ten people.　But then you also said, 'Unless there's another resurrection?

So, he's the newly resurrected "Master" after all!

Miki laughs at my surprise.

Pfffff...... to be more precise, it's the fake "C" master that the Majin Nation has been mistaking for "C" master all along and looking for a way to resurrect him."
