Chapter 83 - I feel that the folks from the Demon King Army are a bit frightening

Standing there with eyes wide open and staring at my huge body was Sheina, but after a while she turned her gaze to the Ikumen.

「Ah! It’s the demon that tried to kidnap the spirit! What’s this? You tried to defeat the Evil Dragon Lord while badly injured?

「No, it’s really not like that. This person suddenly came to pick a fight with me but I don’t want to involve myself with him.」

「Hmph, shut up human girl. Right now I am burning the last of my life in order to duel the Evil Dragon… If the likes of a human tries to intervene in such a high level fight, you’ll receive the consequences…」

Ei!! shouted Sheina as she fired magic from her hand.

It was the attack version of her specialty, sound magic. She also used it in the match against Rēko, it releases a strong sound within a narrow range to blast the opponent.

Of course, the already injured Ikumen was blown away like a trash rag.

I believe that originally that demon guy was meant to be a little bit stronger but he’s accumulated way too much damage right now.

「You didn’t want to be involved with him so I defeated him, is that okay?」

「Very well, I don’t mind. As I expected you’re very reliable.」

「Nono i’m not so great.」

Then the demon who was rolling on the ground tried to stand with his unsteady knees. It seems he avoided any fatal wounds, so I felt slightly less guilty.

「Why…? I’ve powered up enough to even be able to damage the Evil Dragon but I suffered such a hard blow from the likes of a little girl…?」

「You see, that wasn’t limited to one blow. That’s why you’ve lost all chances of victory, just give up and run wherever.」

「…Are you showing me mercy? From the atrocious and merciless Evil Dragon…?」

「I’m even called atrocious by the Demon King Army? Just what kind of treatment am I receiving?」

The Ikumen demon evaluated me with his purple eyes.

「From those acts that do not befit the Evil Dragon… It can’t be, but… is what the Saintess said…?」

「Wait, what did the Saintess say about me? That person is quite a careless person, you shouldn’t believe half of what she says okay?」

「No, I know now. That’s right, so that’s it. You, you’re Revendias body double right?」

Huh? I swallowed the words I was about to say.

「You left the journey to your kin and body-double while your real body lurks in the shadows in order to annihilate the Demon King Army. How treacherous…」

「Ah is that true, Lord Evil Dragon? If that’s the case, you should have said so sooner.」

「Wait a minute Sheina. Why did you so readily believe a demon? You can’t just swallow whatever deduction that guy makes up.」

「Eh, but, you know…?」

Sheina, with a spirit riding on her shoulder, looked up at me and showed a wry smile.

「In that case, I’ll do whatever possible to have you reveal the true location of the Evil Dragon, you fake Evil Dragon! If I just defeat that little girl over there, you’ll be powerless right…?」

「N-no, you’re wrong, I’m really strong okay? You’re not even my opponent!」

「It’s okay Lord Evil Dragon. Please stand back. For such a wounded opponent, it’ll take a second to clean up. Ah, can you just take care of the spirit though?」

Sheina then left the spirit next to my foot. I feared that it would start biting me again but Sheina dexterously blindfolded it with a handkerchief so that it couldn’t see its target for predation(me).

「Now, I’m fully prepared for battle. Come at me!」

「Kuh… From the likes of a human…」

No matter who sees it, it was a situation advantageous for Sheina.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time until the demon was defeated, or so I thought.

「Hey blockhead, is that the body double? Don’t be stupid. No matter from which angle you look at it, that’s one of our highest commanders “The fangs that devour heaven and earth,” Evil Dragon Revendia.」

From the moment someone’s voice reverberated around, suddenly four ribbons of purple light descended from the sky. The light strapped onto the Ikumen’s four limbs and gradually faded away.

「Wh-who was that right now? Is it your comrade?」

I tried to question the demon, but I saw that he seemed a bit strange.

His unsteady knees from a moment ago calmed down and in turn he raised his arms toward the horizon and started floating into the air.

That appearance was exactly like a marionette controlled by unseen strings.

Then, the voice that came out of his mouth was no longer the voice of the handsome demon from a moment ago.

「We’re sorry for the disrespect our blockhead caused, Revendia. Well, it’s fine right? You’ve also been extremely disrespectful. The Demon King was extremely disappointed, you know?」

Her words were light and sounded like a young girl’s voice.

Wait, enough about the change in voice, my eyes picked up danger!

「Sh-Sheina! Run away right now and go call Rēko! That demon is incomparably stronger than what he was before!」

「Eh? But, if I run, would Lord Evil Dragon be okay?」

「We-well it’ll work out if we talk it out…」

Ahahaha! The Ikumen laughed crazily… no, the person who has now turned into a wooden mannequin.

「Hey? Why are you pretending to be so weak? Of course I’m super strong but with your power, you shouldn’t be so afraid of this wooden doll, right?」

「Eh… ehh, lets first sort out this situation okay? Who are you? Do you know me?」

The mannequin suddenly twitched.

「You’re asking who I am…? Hey… isn’t that a bit too mean Revendia? Are you saying that even though we were both the highest commanders, you never had me in your sights? Ahh, no, now that I think about it, that’s right. The great Evil Dragon Lord always ignored the invitations to the gatherings of the commanders, yeah?」

「Yo-you’re mistaken, those invitations must have been miscarried to somewhere.」

「Don’t make excuses! It was definitely written and delivered. We even received the confirmation sign that came back with reviews!」

「Those are false accusations! I can’t even sign anything with my hands. Someone must have just carelessly signed it.」

It must have been delivered to someone with the same first and last name as Revendia, I’m 100% certain!

「Heh… So you’re still playing the fool huh? Well whatever. I’ll just have some light exercise and make you remember my name.」

The controlled wooden mannequin started clunkily laughing with a creepy smile.

「I’ll give you the final hint. My title is “Weaver of Creation.” Can you still not remember even after hearing this?」

Of course even after this hint, my thoughts on it would only be one.

Don’t know.
