376 - - Episode 36 Diablo's Confusion

How did this happen? ......

Diablo, a former member of the "Gathering of Tribes," sits in his office at his estate compound with his head in his hands.

Why does he have his head in his hands?

The reason is that the "Witch of the Giant Tower," who was supposed to be an enemy of the Demon Nation, has become the leader of the Demon Nation, albeit tentatively.

She has the golden sign, "A power of attorney written by the first prince of Volos," and she has also defeated the fake "C" (monster) that suddenly appeared in the capital city.

The fake "C" (monster) blew up the castle of the King of the Demon Kingdom and caused a fair amount of damage to the capital.

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" invested her personal fortune to provide support regardless of race or demon race.

Thanks to her support, not only among the races, but even among the demonic races, there were people who said, "Let's worship the Giant Tower Witch.

Their houses were destroyed, they were injured, and even the food they ate was lost.

At such a time, when someone takes the initiative to heal wounds, provide food and clothing, and restore buildings without compensation, it is inevitable that even a small portion of the population will go so far as to "worship the object of their salvation.

Furthermore, the witches, backed by a golden sign "a mandate written by the first prince of Volos" and armed forces, began to go around freeing racial slaves in the country one after another under the slogan of "absolute independence of race (human beings).

At first, some of the aristocrats in the Majinokuni rebelled, but .........

More than 100 dragons flew over the territory of the rebellious nobles and threatened them.

They pressured him, saying, "If you defy us, we will destroy you without hesitation.

The rebellious nobles were also at first skeptical, saying, "They can't be serious," but then the "Witch of the Giant Tower" made an example of them by sending a volley of dragon breath to obliterate the mansion of one of the rebellious demon noble families. ...

A crater formed where the mansion had been, and not even a piece of the corpse was found.

After literally blowing up one of the demon race nobles without leaving a shard, only the racial slaves existing in that territory were recovered in the "giant tower.

The remaining territory is beginning to fall into disrepair because of the death of the ruling aristocrat and the dispute over 'who will rule the territory from now on.

Normally, the king of the Majin Kingdom would add to the territory of other nobles or appoint a new lord, but as of ......, the king is dead and the first prince, Volos, seems to have fled somewhere after asking the "Witch of the Giant Tower" to exterminate the fake "C" (monster).

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" explained to those around her that Volos' power of attorney was officially granted by the First Prince Volos to temporarily take charge of the demon kingdom (power of attorney) in exchange for defeating the fake "C" (monster).

Later, he, the first prince, took his men and ran away, so even the witch is unaware of where he was headed.

The soldiers saw Volos fleeing the capital with some of his men while the fake "C" (monster) was on the rampage.

In fact, they are underground, deeper than the lowest level of the "abyss." ......

Back to the story.

The nobles who were opposed to the "Witch of the Giant Tower" are no longer willing to oppose her after the example she has set.

Everyone looks out for themselves.

Naturally, this information was actively spread to Diablo so that he could easily hear it.

Thanks to this, Diablo's head was in a lot of pain, as the lights and others had predicted.

I have no intention of forcibly contending with the "Witch of the Giant Tower," either. As far as I can tell from the information I have, there is a strong possibility that the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" is the worst thing that could ever happen to Me.

When Diablo attended the Sixth Conference, he suspected the masked boy was a 'light?

He then investigated, but could not find any evidence.

He also contacted former members of the "Gathering of Tribes" to see if Wright might still be alive.

I didn't give this information out of concern for the former members.

I was just trying to secure someone to take responsibility on my behalf in the event of an emergency.

However, I had received information that all the members had disappeared except for myself and Drago.

A "Light"-like being showed up at the Six Principality Council and everyone but Me and Drago had disappeared. ...... It's too much to be true. ......

Furthermore, the time when the Light-like adventurers began their activities was close to the time when the "Witch of the Giant Tower" appeared, and for some reason, Garou, Sasha, and Nano disappeared after that.

It seems to coincide with the time when the "Witch of the Giant Tower" crushed the Queen Elf Nation and the Beastmen United Nation, connected with the racial kingdoms, and spread "racial (human) absolutism." ......

Perhaps Light met the "Witch of the Giant Tower" in the "Abyss" and survived with nine lives. And now she's going around taking revenge on Mee and the others for her favor?"

It's easy to dismiss it as "ridiculous," but when you think about it that way, a lot of things make sense.

"They're going around crushing countries while taking revenge on the Garou and the others. ...... No, that's not possible indeed..."

The main mission is to get revenge on former "Gathering of Tribes" members, and overrunning countries is just a bonus - this idea is so ridiculous that Diablo himself shakes his head and forgets about it, no matter how much he wants to.

The problem is .......

'Such a "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" is coming to inspect Mee's territory!

It is that a witch, a representative of His Majesty the King, has been heralded as wanting to inspect Diablo's territory.

There is no refusal.

If they do not like it and refuse, Diablo will be blown away from the mansion by 100 dragons like the nobles who were made an example of.

Diablo's level is around 400.

There has been no change since he was an adventurer.

As a nobleman, he did not see the point in getting any stronger, so he did not try to raise his level.

Therefore, Diablo, who was around level 400, had no choice but to die when he was hit by 100 dragons' breath.

None of the soldiers I entrusted to him have returned, so there is no option but to fight him because of his lack of strength. ......

The soldiers of their own territory who were drafted via Volos, the first prince of the Majin Nation, were entrusted to Doc & Goh.

However, none of them have returned after the scheduled date, and since Volos has disappeared, they are in a state of limbo, not knowing who to question.

However, even if those soldiers were there, it would be meaningless against 100 dragons.

It's not like they're going to take revenge on Mee next, like Garou and the others, is it?

The idea that a Light-like adventurer is going around taking revenge on former members of the "Gathering of Tribes" in favor of the "Witch of the Giant Tower" is only an imagination based on the information Diablo gathered and spreading the wings of his imagination.

There is no proof at all.

In addition, there is no realistic possibility that a human (inferior species) Light would be injured and survive by shifting somewhere in the "abyss. In any case, the disappearance of Garu and the others must have been caused by their incompetence, their failure in wanting something that was not suitable for their stature, their loss of life on their own, or their disappearance. It must be so!

Diablo tells him as if to himself.

I have to welcome the 'Witch of the Gigantic Tower' who is coming to inspect us anyway, as best I can. Even though she is a witch, she is still a human (inferior species). It should be easy to put the witches in a good mood if we prepare drinks and food that humans (inferior species) can't usually eat, and gather together beautiful men who are no match for humans (inferior species). Should we also prepare women and children, just in case the witch has a taste for them?

Diablo thought of the best hospitality to put the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" in a good mood, and went to give instructions to carry out the hospitality.

He did not know that her visit would bring him face to face with his own past.
