45 Episode 45 Trump Cards and Endings

I am the culminator of the demons.

Now I was hunting alone away from the Lord.

If the Lord is with us, he will hunt for his prey first.

Then you'd better give up the big guy and take a different course of action, so you can eat whatever you want.

And now the land was filled with demons that made it smell so appetizing.

If I were to say so, it would resemble the act of humans adding various things to food to change the taste.

Once again, it is understandable what it feels like to rot in the act of deliberately taking the trouble to change the taste.

"Gawwww!!"

Moreover, these things are very easy to fight.

I don't even know what I'm thinking because I'm going to be attacked calling for something I don't know why, but the way I fought it didn't use my powers as if I were a human being.

It is truly foolish to imitate humans until we have abandoned our own way of fighting.

Well, it's just to the extent that it's easy for me to eat, so it's easier.

◆

Seeing the demons crusade one after the other, I finally made up my mind.

"If this happens, ignore the adventurers and send the demons to the king's capital!

Yes, we need to speed up the coup.

"Oh no!? It's too soon, Captain! Didn't the coup plan to start after you were fully prepared!

My men will give me their opinion, but the situation is already moving.

"Fool! Our trump card, the Legion of Demons, is becoming powerless! If we don't move now, we'll only lose power! Even if you don't, there's been a lot of demons lately because of the demon shelter potion."

I have no idea who it is, but the fact that that potion started flowing into the market has also become an obstacle to our collection of demons.

"But if a demon below the B rank is also a horn, the A-rank demon is the opponent, and the rule requires careful control. The S-rank demon is still out of complete control, and if it runs wild, the people are in danger of being harmed."

Well, there's something wrong with civilians being somewhat damaged.

"What's more, isn't it pointless to attack now than to have already been crusaded the top demons in the S, A ranks?

"The other way around. You should think the opposite way."

"And say?

"Okay? Demons like S-rank and A-rank are dangerous things that cannot be defeated unless the Knights come together. Sure, it's laudable to have been able to crusade those demons in this short time, but how long do you think such imitation will last?

"That means..."

"Uhm, the enemy should continue to use something trump card to crusade the superior demons. Perhaps the first time an S-rank demon has been crusaded in a row is a threat that even an S-rank demon has the means to defeat it easily, no, it should be seen as a hatchet."

Yes, it's haphazard.

Because there's no way that such bullshit silo stuff can be used indefinitely.

"Perhaps it was the Lost Items that were kept secret by the top noblemen, or… would be a national treasure"

"" "National Treasure!?" "

My men run upset.

The national treasure Ravelaine, the treasure of our country that no one has ever seen its power wield.

Says it is told with the holy sword wielded by the first king who crusaded the mighty evil dragon who once ruled the land and built the country.

Only the reign ceremony of generations of kings appears on the table.

If the power of that sword is no longer legendary, it will also be possible to crusade the demons of S-rank.

"But if the national treasure possessed such tremendous power, it would have brought more prosperity to our country. In other words, we should assume that some kind of price is needed to use it. Magic, or a price for your life."

So the enemy wants us to retreat from ourselves.

But you were quick to use the trump card.

"… it is true that if a national treasure is such a thing, it cannot be easily used."

"Um, so we march demons to the King's Capital. If the highest-ranked demons attack the Wang Capital in unison, they will be very handy even if they are users of the Lost Items!

"" "Ha ha!!" "

My men, convinced by my explanation, nod.

"Use the demons of the lower ranks to stop the adventurers. It's disposable anyway."

"Yes, I did!

"Tell the whole army. We crusade a bunch of demons headed to the King's Capital! Tell the Alliance to crusade the Adventurers for Miscellaneous Fish!

"" "Ha" "

This will make it difficult for the adventurer-dressed enemy's hands to follow us.

Well, the demon moves fast, and a lot of sacrifices may be made before we get to the scene.

Come on, now is the time for the rulers of this country to take their place!

◆

"Phew, now I think we're done crusading the S, A-rank demons around here."

When I store the demons I defeated in a magic bag, I explore the signs of new demons with exploratory magic.

"Is that it? This is... yummy!?"

Oh, my God, a bunch of demons are on their way to the King's Capital!

The reaction of the group, possibly the Knights, is following from the rear of the demons, but we can't make it like this.

"Yeah, I don't want to face the Knights, but I can't help it!

Yes, a lot of people will be sacrificed if you leave them alone.

As an adventurer, you can't let that happen!

"Let's go!

I fly by magic to the king's capital.

If I can fly as hard as I can, it won't take long to get to Wang Du.

While doing so, I saw the main entrance of the king's capital and a herd of demons approaching it.

Although the entire Wang capital is surrounded by walls, it is unlikely that this much demon will hold against them.

"You risk breaking the walls, so let's start with a big demon! Lightning Rain!!"

Lightning rain pours down from the blue sky with no clouds and blows up the herd of demons.

Lightning Rain, an outdoor attack magic designed to reduce a wide range of enemies before they reach each other.

"All right, the first batch was powerless!

I rush to the main entrance of the capital and speak to the knight who was on the wall.

"There are still demons to follow! Quickly close the gates and evacuate the citizens to the centre of the King's capital!

"Ki, what the hell are you!?"

A knight asks me what I am, but I don't want to answer that, so I ignore it.

"Once the demons have destroyed the walls, they will be invaded from there into the king's capital. I will take down the big demons as a priority, so you can crusade the small demons from the top of the wall. Because the Knights who were immediately on the crusade will come to reinforce us."

"Wow, okay! I don't know who it is, but thank you for the knife!

Come on, we're not letting the King's Landing near demons!

◆

"Oh my God, Captain! An incredible number of demons are on their way to the King's Capital!

"What!?"

Having received a report from my men, I hurried to the observation deck on the wall surrounding the King's capital.

And I saw it. Look at the demons coming this way.

Demons of different sizes and races are coming this way in large numbers.

I don't know the exact number, but being able to see it from so far away is quite a number.

"Come on, this is gonna be a hell of a thing! Seal the gates! Bring back the men who came out of the king's capital! You can use a horse! And report to the castle! Tell him a bunch of demons are on their way to the King's Capital!

"... Ha!

My men rush into action.

"But how far can you keep me in this situation? It's an ombolo wall that hasn't even been repaired in a hurry, though it's got walls, right?

This wall was built not long after the King's capital was created.

Unlike the walls that protect the castle, they have been abandoned since they were built, so they are just about to collapse.

Very unlikely to withstand those demons' raids.

"Besides, all I'm here for are recruits who don't have real combat experience. We don't have a lot of war experience."

Whatever you think can only result in desperate results.

But still, I didn't have a choice to run.

Because it is our mission and our pride to protect this place.

So are my men. That's why they're moving according to my orders.

Everyone will want to see that sight and escape.

Well, there are times when running away isn't going to be very much in time.

"The young guys missed for a reason, I wonder if the old guys alone will manage to buy some time"

But that was the time.

All of a sudden a blinking flash ran into the blue sky without a single cloud.

Then the roar scratches out all the noise so much that I wonder if my ears will break.

"Hey, what happened!?"

Surprised I look around in a hurry.

That's when I saw an incredible sight.

"The demons are wiped out!?"

Yes, the hordes of demons that were about to drive us to the bottom of despair were disappearing beautifully!

Something even more surprising happened.

There's nothing. A boy came down from the sky.

"There are still demons to follow! Quickly close the gates and evacuate the citizens to the centre of the King's capital!

This boy defeated a bunch of demons!?

"Ki, what the hell are you!?"

But the boy didn't answer my question, and when I told him only that the Knights of Reinforcement were coming, he vanished into the sky without a sound.

And again, when the earlier roar sounded several times, smoke stood in many places, where it was flooded with demons' carcasses, just like earlier.

"It's like the legend of Wardrum, the founding hero..."

He appeared fluttered in this land of demons swirling, instantly exorcising the demons and defeating the ruler of the land, His Majesty King Wardrum the First King of the Nation, King of Founding Kings and Swords.

I guess that battle was such a sight.

I was saluting a boy who disappeared into the sky without my knowledge.

◆

"It's tough! The demons we sent to King's Landing have been wiped out!

"How does that happen? Ah!!"

Why is that happening?

No way, did the enemy predict that we would move like this, preserving the trump card in the king's capital beforehand!?

"When this happens, it's me! We're gonna use that!

"Arr?...... are you going to use him!? I'm impotent! It's a silly thing that you can't even control!?"

My men blues their faces and screams.

"I don't mind! If this happens, it puts the arr in and gives them true despair!

Goddamn it, my enemy, it's your fault.

You watered my ambitions!

"Awaken our true trump card, the Dragon!

◆

"Is that it? The Knights suddenly changed their direction!?"

For some reason, the Knights, who were heading to the Wang capital, suddenly changed course and headed in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

"Sure it's the direction of the wilderness over there...... is something wrong?

I was concerned about the Knights' suspicious moves, and I decided to go after them.

Fortunately, a group of enemies coming to the King's Capital has been overthrown, and the rest of the sporadic demons' raids will be managed by the King's Capital's Guards and Adventurers.

"Okay, then I'm coming too!

◆

Coming to a secret facility hidden in the wilderness, we launched an action to awaken the trump card, the Dragon.

In front of you is the figure of a dragon trapped in a large cage.

"Please rethink, Captain! Dragons are just letting you sleep with powerful sleeping pills based on demonic grass. There's no guarantee you'll be able to manipulate me when I wake up!

But over the course of this period, my men say that they are weak.

"What are you so weak about? I thought you studied the art of manipulating demons."

"But dragons are not like ordinary demons. Its presence is also different from the demons of S-rank, which are powerful beings. So there's a good chance you won't be able to control it by manipulating demons."

"Then if it fails, you'll just have to put it to sleep with medicine. Just do it!

"... I understand"

Finally, the men who accepted the order begin to prepare the dragon to awaken more than sleep.

Well, the dragon is a huge lizard.

It doesn't matter if you can't manipulate it completely, if you can give a lot of orders.

The point is, I wish I hadn't been attacked.

"I gave the dragon a potion to break his sleep. You'll wake up soon."

"Do the dominance at the same time as the dragon awakens! The conjunctivist, do everything in his power to conjunct!

And the dragon sleeping on the floor of the facility opens its eyes with a small roar.

"Dominance activated!

"" "" Dominance activated!

Dragon the technique of the surgeons taking control of the demons.

At that moment, the surgeons scratched out.

"What?"

And Besha, I can hear it coming from the corner of the room.

Everyone on the spot looked in the direction of the sound, and there were bloody and falling surgeons there.

And the sound of Gashan rang, and when I looked back, the cage that was trapping the dragon was pulling and caught on its tail.

"Become!?"

"Ku, it's medicine! Feed them with sleeping pills!

My men rush to order me to use the medicine.

The freshly awakened dragon blinks several times and is devoured by the bait carried in front of him.

"All right! Let me sleep again like this..."

But instead of falling asleep, the dragon spits out the flesh that he should have eaten, and he opens his eyes wide and rises and widens his wings.

Then he broke through the ceiling and rose to high altitude.

"Gwwwwww!!"

"Stupid!? I spit out the medicated meat!?... the medication isn't working? No, you didn't fail to purify the medicine!?"

"Hey, what's going on!? Why did you spit out the medicated meat?!?"

Grab my men's chest barn and let them explain the situation.

"Oh, probably, but they said the quality of the magic grass they purchased was poor, and they failed to purify the medicine..."

"Then what happens to that dragon?

"I was able to capture someone by accident when I experimented with sleeping pills using magic grass, so I thought it would be impossible to capture them again."

"I mean..."

To my words, my men nod with a blue face.

"Beyond waking up for a long time, they think we'll be eating until we're full next"

"What is that feed..."

"We'll be the first, and the next closest, most human, King's Capital."

"Get out of here! Everybody out!

We chose to flee immediately.

But the moment I made that decision, the ceiling blew up.

The dragon paid his tail to find us, the bait.

In the mood to pay for something a little intrusive.

"Aww."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

The dragon is looking at this one.

Definitely looking at us as bait.

"Gahhhhh......"

The dragon's mouth slowly opens, and whoever drips down.

"Wow, I'm not delicious..."

"I thought it would be useless to say that to a dragon opponent."

"Then you'll be eaten first! In the meantime, I'm getting away!

"How can you not escape in a place like this! It's just the difference between which dies first!

"Gawow!!"

The dragon yelled at us arguing.

"" Hino!? "

And when the dragon turned his neck slightly back, he opened his mouth wide towards us and attacked us.

Oh, he's dead.

We can't even start a coup, and we're dead.

What a miserable life it was.

"Tera!

It was then, a sudden appearance of the disease hit the dragon's body.

Then the body of the dragon strikes the universe and blows away as it destroys the walls of the lair.

"" Become!? "

"Are you okay!?"

It was one boy who showed up there.

◆

It was dangerous, a stranger knight almost got attacked by a dragon.

I don't have very good memories with the Knights, but you still can't overlook people whose lives are in danger.

And that's the Knights.

I can't believe you noticed a dragon hiding in here.

But I don't think the dragon will hide from himself in this place.

So, did someone bring you here to manipulate the dragon?

Oh, maybe the Knights were searching when they realized this demonic anomaly was in this building.

I see, I'll do it. Knights of this era.

When it came to the Knights, I imagined corruption and corruption, but that's the Knights of the Future Age! I've reviewed it!

"Whatever, let's just knock it down!

The opponent is a green dragon again, do you want to knock him down?

"Huh!

When I made a big leap, I hunted the neck of a dragon that was pounding and flirting on the ground with one blow.

"Yeah, that's a sword made of a mutant blade. Better cut than a regular iron sword."

If it's this sharp, the buying price could be higher than the green dragon I've hunted before!

When I store the defeated Green Dragon in a magic bag, I turn to the knight.

"Thank you for your service! I will return to the surrounding demon crusade, so you can safely continue your search for this facility!

"Oh, oh."

That's all I told the knights, and I hurried back to crusade against the demons.

◆

The dragon was defeated by a boy who suddenly appeared.

That's in one blow too.

"Hey......"

I speak to my men.

"Yes, what is it"

"Turn yourself in."

"Right."

Yeah, not very much, but murky, like, to rule a country with this kind of monster in a coup.
