"Don't let your mind go to ......?

　I repeat the words of the Rakshasa.
　I'm not going to believe everything the Demon Lord says, of course.

I'm not going to believe everything the demon lord says, of course, but he's much closer to the abyss than we are.

　Raksasa's voice is hard.
　The expression on his face was more stern than I've ever seen before.

"He's ...... no, they're the ones...
"Hold back.

　The Demon Lord said quietly.

"You're not authorized to tell me that, terminal 037.

　Rakhshasa's body convulsed with a jolt.
　It was as if she'd been struck by lightning.

"Are you going to disobey the will of the great [abyss]?
"Stick to .......

　Rakhshasa bites her lip and keeps silent.

"I'm far more powerful than that terminal there. If you want, you can make her disappear and I can help you control the darkness from now on.
"Are you saying you'll take the place of the Rakshasa?
"I was defeated by a hero, and I'm now an unstable residual thought. But with a regular supply of Darkness from you, I can easily materialize to a certain level. What do you think?　It's a quick way for you to strengthen your power, right?　And then go to the deepest part of the castle to get more power...
"I'm afraid I don't believe a word you're saying.

　I stared at the Demon Lord.

I'll take the initiative. You'll have to provide me with the information first.
"...... Hmm. "How dare a human speak so highly of this Demon Lord!

　The black skull growled.

　A red glint flickered in the back of his depressed eye socket.
　Our gazes clashed and sparks flew wildly.

　If the Demon Lord were to show hostility, my [Fixed Damage] would be triggered immediately.
　The Demon Lord's HP might be able to withstand at least one blow, but if I deal 9999 damage every three seconds, it will be settled within a dozen seconds at most.

　Even if he attacks you with magic, you can shoot down the attack itself with [Fixed Damage].
　Even if the opponent is the Demon Lord Virgalodomus, he should not be able to easily defeat my skills.

　In the first place, I don't even know what level of ability the guy in the residual thought state has....

"Hahahahahahaha!　That's the host of the Darkness. I like you more and more, Crom Walker.

　The Demon Lord suddenly laughed loudly.
　I thought I'd angered him, but he seems rather amused.
　And

"Master Crom!

　Shea got off the bed.
　The loud laughter must have woken him up.

　As for Yurin, he was rubbing his eyes carefree, saying, "Mwah mwah .......

"Yulin, wake up. It's the enemy!
"Enemies?
We have to protect Master Chrom!
"Yes, sir.

　The two of them lined up on either side of me, talking somewhat amicably.

I'm not sure what to do.

　The Demon King looked at Shea.

I'm not sure what to make of that. It seems that they are just starting out, but depending on their class evolution, they might turn into high-ranking demons.

　I'm not sure what to do.

I have no intention of antagonizing you, Crom Walker. Therefore, let's return to the question I asked you earlier.

　The Demon Lord looked back at me.

Do you want to go with me to the deepest part of the castle?　Maybe you'll change your mind once you get there.

　So, what do we do now?

　The Demon Lord's invitation... this could be a trap.
　But if I'm not careful, my fixed damage should be enough to kill it.

　There's also the Dark Knight Shea and the Demon Yuling, both of whom have two skills.
　If there is an unknown part of Margo and Yuno's abilities, it's best for me to strengthen my own power as well.

　Let's go for a ride.

All right. Lead the way, Demon Lord.
"My host.
I wouldn't put all my faith in him. But I think you might be able to get some useful information.

　I said to a worried Rakshasa.

"But... you should be on the lookout too, Rakshasa. If you feel anything unusual, tell me right away. Okay?
"...... Yes, sir.
Mr. Chrome- ......?
Is the Demon Lord ...... right now?



　I gave a small nod to the surprised faces of Shea and Yurin.

　After a minimal explanation, we began to proceed under the guidance of the Demon Lord, Virgalodomus.

　To the deepest part of the castle...
