263-257 Cloud

The moment the demons approached and touched the sanctuary circle to kill me for letting it go, I heard a sound as if I had been touched by a high-voltage electric current, as if I was escaping from the sanctuary circle.

The nature of the sanctuary circle is the same as that of the sanctuary circle.

Therefore, the demon race would cause damage by touching it.

If that happens, we will be able to fight with a favorable development.

Buying time and fighting in an advantageous situation was the purpose of this time.

It was that light.

However, the demon race burns any part it touches at the mere touch of the sanctuary warding.

It was as if the miasma was burning up like flammable fuel.

''When we fought the evil gods, it was just enough to not allow them to enter, but they've gotten much stronger,''

''........Luciel-sama, do you intend to purify everything?''

''Well it looks like he's going to win on his own, even if he's not, right?

Are you going to wipe them out?

''If we can absolutely win, I'm going to activate the purification wave and charge in. Lionel will have Cloud, and everyone else will fight their own demon race. Is that all right?

''As a warrior, I will strike down anyone who has sold their soul to the demon race. If it's someone who cheated on my name, all the more so.

Where is everyone?

I want to fight.

"I will abide by Master Luciel's decision.

'I want to fight, too, because I may know about the slavers and about the ancestors.

Luciel.

It seems that all of them can fight the demon race, they must have decided to do so.

Well, there's no stopping them.

"Keffin, I want you to focus on the traps.

Ha!

Ketty and Esther are on a rampage, protecting Kefin.

Yes, sir.

"Paula is preparing a giant golem.

Okay.

"Lionel, cut the root of the problem.

Ha!

After hearing Lionel's words, he activated the purification wave and everyone rushed out in unison.

It was that time. The purifying wave burned the demon race that had been burning with pale flames at once, and the pale flames spread out.

Lionel and the others stopped just before they entered the ward.

Then they looked back at us.

''Luciel-sama........''

It was Lionel who muttered that, but everyone else was looking at us with the same indescribable look.

''?　What's going on?

I walked closer to the ward where everyone was, and I understood the situation.

Five Evil Flowers were burning vigorously, and as far as the demon race was concerned, all of them had disappeared from existence.

''..............Too much?''

...Yes.

Feeling sorry for Lionel, who nodded in annoyance, he went into the ward.

Then a wait came from Kefin.

'Luciel-sama, there is a large pit in the center. Please wait until I release it.''

Kefin said, and began to examine the area.

'Do you think there was a Cloud in here?'

'No, you weren't there. And I believe that behind that door will be the Demon Institute.

'I guess. I don't know if it's the demon race, but I'm sensing three hints of it.

'Yes. Master Luciel, would you lend me a magic tool to expand my voice?

Okay, but what are you doing?

Lionel laughed as he asked while handing over the magic tool, and Lionel laughed and asked, "The Institute?　He started shouting at the door of the

'Gladys, I know you're there. Stop resisting in vain and come out. And did you say Cloud, I'm here to slaughter you playing my imposter. Now, come out of there. If you don't come out, I'll have the whole laboratory destroyed in a heartbeat.

I don't know who it was that called Gladys.

Still, Lionel seemed to be sure of something.

'He crushes every single human soldier, and even though he was prepared to die, he finally poisoned them into slavery, and yet he's still alive, he's really a monster, father-daddy.

'So that's our country's natural enemy, the S-class healer. And there are rumors that he's one of the reincarnated ones. Let's see, if we're from the same town, let's get along.

..........

Within a minute after Lionel called out to them, three of the human race showed up.

To my surprise, the man named Gladys, who had called out to Lionel, called Lionel his old man.

And the man, who I believe to be Cloud, is trying to draw me in by taking a hit on me as a reincarnate.

The third and final person surprised me the most.

Because that person was Mr. Bazak, who had been with me earlier.

I felt bad for Lionel, but I decided to prioritize what I wanted to hear.

''Cloud-dono, first of all, I know that there is someone who is a reincarnation. I've already fought with him. So what did you reincarnate to accomplish there?

"....fought, you know. The empire is already in my hands. Money, status, honor, even women, I can have it all. That's how much power I got from God.

''........God? You must have made a lot of effort. You have traveled through various countries and have mastered the magic that allows you to imitate the appearance of a person. But why did you borrow the appearance of a person to do a lot of evil deeds?　Doesn't that prove that you are nothing?

Not only do they use their strength, they also use their brains. They can even create demons and rule this continent.

With technology stolen from the Duchy?　After all, you've got nothing to show for it, do you?　That's why you haven't turned into a demon, right?　Mr. Impostor in Human Skin.

''You're the one who pissed me off. I don't need to be turned into a demon. I have the power to control it.

Cloud said, and the magic stone?　When you hit the ground with an object like the following, a magic circle is created and a demon race appears from it.

''........Can I have one last thing to say?''

What?　Do you want to be my man?

''Well it's fine until you were sent by the Principality to depose Lionel. Why did you turn into a demon?　That would be inhumane.

"This world is far less civilized than the one I've been living in. And there are demonic beasts and demons, and the value of life is completely different. So I had to rule the continent, even if it meant getting my hands dirty.

That's enough. Lionel, son?　And you have something to talk about?

"How could you betray the Empire? I forgive you for poisoning me, but why did you have to poison me during the war? But why did you need to poison me during the war?

You know...

''I'm a war demon general. I've been in the position of being in the imperial capital all my life, so I at least know what my subordinates do. I've never been a fatherly figure at all, though...''

....

Lionel's spilled words would have shocked Gladys.

Naturally, that shock was also received by me.

The fact that Lionel's son was the executor of Lionel's assassination.

Naturally, there was no doubt that Cloud was an accomplice, but the relationship was more complicated than I had thought.

Well, there was no doubt that the emperor who punished Lionel was the worst, but still, Lionel hadn't told me that.

That was the biggest shock to me.

I listened to Lionel and the others' words while preparing the sanctuary wards.
