Early in the morning, the city of Santor is filled with fog, and many migrant workers are hurrying past to take their places in the market. The old town, away from the hustle and bustle of the morning.
　In the land behind the church, the owner of a newly built house was looking at the machine in front of him with a serious expression.
　It is a relic of the old days and the most recent magic tool, made from the materials of the black dragon and its close relatives. It was a full-scale activation of the Air Rider.
　It was the first time for the Air Rider to travel long distances, although it had been successfully tested many times in moving parts. Of course, it could be used as a motorcycle, but this time it was also a full-scale operation of the 【Azi Daqaha】, which incorporated devices from the old days.
　The black box installed in the Air Rider of the old days had a built-in altimeter and a system for measuring the amount of magic power remaining, and all of the meters that were linked to it had to be transplanted.
　In the first place, it is nearly impossible for a civilization of medieval Europe to create a measuring instrument that transcends the civilization of the present Earth. No matter how good the condition was, it was hard to believe that a magic machine from long ago would work properly.
　It's true that there are still some concerns.

　However, Xelloss casually accepted the request again.
　Moreover, this time it was also a preliminary investigation, since the demon might run amok. If the worst should happen, he would inform the mercenary guild and the guards.
　This procedure was carried out by Creston, but the fact that it was already in place before Xellos received the request suggests that he had intended to take on this task from the start.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a common practice.

　It's not just Zeroth's problem that demons are running amok.
　It's a disaster that could devastate the country in some cases.
　As for Xellos, who wanted to live a leisurely life, he wanted to end the troublesome commotion as soon as possible.

"Well then, shall we go? Hmm?

　Before he knew it, the three birds, including Wu Kei, were on the [Azi Daqaha].

"Oro?　Are you guys going too?
You're going too?　We'll accompany you. Master.
Koke, Koke. I want to test my strength.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo! (We also want to test our strength.) (We also want to test our strength. ......)
"Well, that's fine. In moderation. ......

　The three wild cockerel mutants, Grapple Master Cockerel, Samurai Master Cockerel, and Ninja Master Cockerel. The three wild cockerels, Grapple Master Cocker, Samurai Master Cocker, and Ninja Master Cocker, have mutated and evolved in such a unique way that they are ready to fight.
　They are more dependable than a bad mercenary, and their strength is perfect. Including the old man, they are overpowered, but since we don't know what will happen, there is no problem in bringing them along.
　Shiro, red, silver, and black cockatoos are no different from wild cockatoos in appearance. They would not be outdone by wild monsters.
　They are very reliable for scouting alone.

I'm not sure what to make of this, but where are these coccoons headed?　I'm sure they're already close to the Demon Lord class.

　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.
　It depends on the race, but its power is capable of destroying an entire country single-handedly. For example, the twenty-meter class Givlion that we encountered in the Great Dark Green Zone of Farflan is a fortress-class creature.
　The gibbons seen in and around the Solistear Magical Kingdom are in the five-meter class, and are generally referred to as general class. Its strength is equal to that of an Orc General.
　Because of the extreme evolution of individuals in different environments and levels, it is impossible to determine a class in general, but in the realm where people live, this is common knowledge.
　Common sense can be quickly rewritten, but since we have never confirmed the existence of a marvelous being, we cannot rank evolving demons.
　It is impossible for any scientist to predict the process of evolution.

"Well then, let's go to ...... huh, I'm sleepy .......

　Xelloss astride the [Azi Daqaha] and inserted the instruction key.
　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.
The shield weapons attached to both sides of the [Aji Dakha] fall to the left and right, and the exterior cover slides to reveal the built-in crystal ball.
　Then, the magic formula inside the black box deploys, and a force field against gravity is formed.

Aero-thrusters engaged!　Is ...... northwest the correct direction?

　Checking the directional magnet, the [Azi Daqaha] changed direction and slowly rose into the air.
"Pash! "Pash! In the event that you've got any questions regarding the way to use the site, you can contact us at our own web site.

"Oh, ......, this is a spectacular view. It's impressive.

　The sight of the fortified city in the light mist was truly a fantastic sight.
　I twisted the throttle with a sense of regret, savoring the inexpressible emotion.
　High pressure air was expelled from the thrusters, accelerating the【Azi Daqaha】through the skies of another world. It's a great world ......," he muttered.
　It's a privilege to be able to fly, Zeroth realized once again. The romance outweighed the hassle of the request, and the old man was immersed in a sense of superiority as he flew through the sky.

　The following is a list of the most important things that a living thing needs to eat to survive.

　Living things need to eat to survive.
　All living things, including humans, cannot escape this truth.
　Even plants live by taking in nutrients from their roots and performing photosynthesis. Even the undead need to obtain magic power from outside to exist, so living is directly related to eating.
　But what will happen if we deviate from this logic?

　The Great Givellion, which continues to move, cannot escape from this logic and is starving.


　Their overly large bodies demanded a great deal of food, but there was no satisfying food in this realm that Givellion was overrunning. All the food was so small that the corpses of his family could barely keep up with his constant hunger. It was only natural that they would be hungry, since they would need more nutrition as they moved.
　And there were no large creatures in the land that could satisfy that hunger.
　Many of the demons fled when they sensed Givellion's presence, and their dependents who pursued them also gradually dropped out due to hunger.
　Animals are loyal to their instincts and sensitive to danger. It is natural for them to run away as fast as they can from an existence that they cannot win. Escape is a survival strategy. 　

　However, Givellion was moving according to his instincts, but at some point, he sensed that something was wrong with himself. His movement speed slows down, and his movements become slower and slower.
　However, this is not death. He realizes that it is a modulation that changes into something new.
"How can I satisfy this hunger? Where should I go? . These questions were constantly bouncing back and forth in my thoughts, but I also knew that the time of release was near.
"Soon, this suffering will be fulfilled. ......". The starving behemoth followed its instincts and quietly waited for the time to change itself.
　The hungry behemoths follow their instincts and quietly wait for the time to change themselves, feeding on their dependents who lay dead in the field.

　I'll be back.

　Livarde frontier county. It is a key point of defense for the magical kingdom of Solistair, bordering the Holy Goddess Kingdom of Metis.
　It was about three weeks ago that something strange happened in this area.
　Several demons, which normally have the habit of having their own territories, appeared and began to ravage the neighboring villages and towns.
　The Counts of Rivard began to take action, sending mercenaries and knights, but the situation gradually worsened.
　The fact that they were able to deal with the situation so quickly was admirable. However, due to the threat of the increasing number of demons, he ordered the temporary evacuation of the nearby residents.
　As expected, there was no way to deal with the increasing number of demons.

"Captain Aref, the evacuation of the villagers is complete!
Thank you. So, how are the demons?
They're not too bad, but there's still too many of them. It's as if they're running away from something.
Well, ....... This may not be just a ...... runaway.

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. His former subordinates had also been hired to join his ranks, and now they had risen through the ranks to become the Special Service Rangers.
　After returning from the ridiculous Hell of the weak and the strong, their abilities easily overpowered the other knights, and they became famous for their harsh training of the new knights who became their subordinates because of their experience in Hell.
　He became famous for his harsh training of his new subordinates. However, thanks to the intense training of his subordinates, none of them have been injured in their missions. The attrition rate of his troops was much lower than other battalions.
　He had now become one of the leading generals of the Order.

"If it's not a [runaway], is there some powerful demon that has appeared?
I can only assume so. Moreover, the country that lies ahead is .......
"Metis Holy Law Kingdom ....... What did they do to deserve this?　I can only think that the demons from over there are flowing over here.
Now, our country is being looked down upon by that country. You know why?
Well, it's because they started selling ...... recovery magic. The mercenaries are already selling lower level recovery magic, and it would diminish the value of sacred magic.
"They're old-fashioned people who can't accept technological advances. They want to pull your leg in any way they can.

　In terms of improving the quality of magic tools and potions, as well as developing magic, the Solstice Magic Kingdom and the Metis Holy Goddess Kingdom were in direct conflict.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. On the other hand, you can't develop without the advancement of technology!　The priestly uniform you are wearing is also a product of magical technology! I countered.
　After much discussion, the result was...

You're going against the will of God!　You evil mages!
You evil mages! d*mn it, why do I have to ask your country for your opinion!　It's only natural for you to devote yourself to the development of your country, but don't interfere in our internal affairs!
What a bunch of apostates who mislead people with dubious medicines!　Why don't you understand that people are happier when they are left in their natural state!
Why don't you understand that people are happier in nature?　It's your country that benefits from this! Don't play dumb with us when you protect such evil creatures as fairies!
Fairies are the purest race!　Fairies are the purest race! They are innocent and free of any impurities!　You are the ones who are interfering in our internal affairs!
You are interfering in our affairs!　What do you mean, "pure race"? That pure race is laughing at the dismemberment of humans and animals.　The priests protect them because they are pure?　You don't care how many people are sacrificed, do you?　That's some god-fearing people.
"You, you!　You blaspheme against God's family, get out!


"Fine, I'll be your opponent!

　--This was a head-on confrontation. Already, trade with Metis had been severed, and on the contrary, cooperation with neighboring countries had been strengthened.
　In addition, behind the scenes of this quarrelsome diplomacy, the construction of the old dwarven underground ruins was steadily progressing. Thinking that it would be Solstice that would be troubled if trade was cut off, the Holy Priesthood of Metis was the first to halt trade as a form of economic sanction.
　However, it was only after receiving the news of the completion of the underground passage that they realized that this was a trap.
　This connects the mineral resources (Kingdom of Isaras), the troublesome divine enemy (Imperial Kingdom of Atorum), and the apostate (Magical Kingdom of Solistea). The economic sanctions have backfired.
　Since we broke off diplomacy with our strong stance, we couldn't just bow down and ask them to reopen trade with us.
　We thought we were imposing economic sanctions, but we ended up receiving economic sanctions in return.
　Furthermore, due to the unprecedented earthquake that struck the country and the unidentified attack that collapsed the country's center, the Metis Holy Law Divine Kingdom will not be able to receive aid from the outside.
　Due to the strong diplomacy caused by the difference in national power, the country has fallen into a situation where it is unable to bow down.

Well, since that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to harass us in some way.
"Is that country stupid?　Do you think they're stupid? They've got no respect for diplomacy.
Sacred magic has always been important in our country. We don't want mages to be able to use recovery magic. But now that it's been done in other countries, there's nothing we can do about it.
"And we announced it at almost the same time. It's so obvious that it was a setup. ......
It seems that they lost the war against the beastmen, and now they have no power. It would not be surprising if they were trying to turn the demons against them.
That's a hell of a way to harass someone.
Either that, or there's a monster out there that needs to be forced on ...... other countries.

　We can speculate about many things, but at this point, we don't know anything.
　It was all I could do to keep this mess under control.

"Captain Arleph, there's a report that the refugees' wagons are being attacked by demons!　The platoon leader is calling for help!
Merton's platoon is on its way!　Don't let anyone die!
Copy that.　I'll send word to Platoon Leader Merton.
Hurry up, we can't afford to lose any more men!　We are the shield and the sword of our people. Do not forget that!
Copy that.

　The first priority is to evacuate the people.
　Aleph's battalion has been trained with the experience of the Great Dark Green Zone of Furan, and they have been trained with even greater intensity. If necessary, they would go to the Demon Forest again.
　There were several fierce warriors who could easily defeat a half-hearted demon, and most of them were in the rank of platoon leader. Their training has earned them a disgraceful name, but they are all capable of living up to the results.
　It is no exaggeration to say that they are an elite unit.

...... Let's see how much damage we can do.
"You can't save everything," he said. You will feel the lack of power.

　There is a limit to the number of knights.
　No matter how swiftly we act, we will never have the strength to make up for everything. There will be some casualties.
　It is our job to limit the number of casualties, but Aleph is disgusted by the fact that we see people as numbers. And he couldn't help but hope that the number of victims would be small if at all possible.

　...

　There was a shadow peering out of the forest at the people being attacked by the demon.
　People who had evacuated from various villages or towns were currently being attacked by demons, and they were watching from the shadows.
　It was the knights who were guarding the demons, but they looked a little strange.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to say.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. I'm not sure what to say.
I'm not sure what to do. Kukekeke!

　What a crazy ...... thing to do.
　For them, all of the demons that attacked them were food for them to become stronger.
　The reason why they became such knights is because of the military reform of Aref and others.

　In response to the request of the Dukes of Solistea, Arleph and his men went to the Great Dark Green Zone of Furan, survived in the providence of the weak and the strong, and realized their powerlessness.
　And more than that, they became stronger.
　Their strength overwhelmed the other knights and they were envied and admired by many, but they were not proud and focused on training themselves.
　They knew firsthand that the current Knights would be no match for the demons that would emerge from the Great Dark Green Zone in packs. And so he headed for the land again.
　Learning from their previous experience, they fought against the demons without letting their guard down. Of course, they learned magic as a means of attack.
　They also dabbled in pharmacy and alchemy to gain the means to heal in the harsh environment, and by the time they had survived two weeks, they had successfully raised their personal level to 500.
　When they came back again, they were all promoted due to their overwhelming strength, and they took care of many of their subordinates.
　In order to train their men, they were sent out to the Great Deep Green Zone again. The new knights will be subjected to a harsh baptism of nature.
　You already know. Every time they return from the Farflan Deep Green, the knights realize their inexperience, so they devour various knowledge to train themselves, learn magic, and head back to the land.


　By repeating this, the number of knights who have become ridiculously strong will increase.
　And the demons that live around here are no better than small fry. They are no longer their enemies.
　For them, the demons that attacked them when they ran amok were also meat to try out to train their occupational skills. It's no different from a duck carrying an onion on its back.

"Oi!　It's headed your way, don't let it get away!
Who are you talking to? I wouldn't do something like that!
Who are you talking to? I wouldn't do something like that! - Just move your hands!

　He shouted, but made sure to reap the demon and swung his sword down towards his next prey.
　He took one look at the demon that had been sliced in half and swung his sword at the next one. There is no gap at all there.

I'm not sure what's going on here. They're so strong!

　The secret agent who was lurking in the shadows. I'm not sure what to do.
　Even the Holy Order is not this reckless. Even the Holy Order is not this reckless. They do not have the ability to reap all the benefits of the demons that are attacking them in force.
　However, the Holy Knights of Solistea were able to crush several demons with a single cleave, overwhelming them while protecting the people.
　The original plan was to impose the Hell's Legion on the magical kingdom of Solstair, while they themselves were to get drunk on the carnage of coveting money and the Inquisition.
　But the Inquisitors were wrong, and the Holy Knights acted swiftly, fighting the good fight while protecting their people. No, they had enough time to talk lightly.
　If they fought head on, it would be impossible for even Shallanra to win.

"That's not good. ....... You'll be able to get a lot more out of this one than you might have expected. ......

　You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. Not wanting to die, she seeks out Xellos and seeks an antidote to counteract the effects of the potion.
　But there is no antidote to this potion. Or, more accurately, there are ways to do it that are not recommended.
　Xellos did not want to show mercy to his sister, and there were reasons why he did not want to use this method even if it were someone else, but let's put that aside for now.
　Shallanra had to get the antidote, no matter what.

"Hmm?
What's up?
No. ...... I thought I saw someone watching me. ....... No, I'm pretty sure I'm being watched.
There might be a demon hiding in there somewhere. I don't think it's possible to reason in a runaway state. ......
"Oh no!　I'm not sure what to make of this.　

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　She is a threat to the inhabitants of this world, but to the knights of Solistair, she is no better than a small fish. If it came to a fight, she would surely be defeated.
　Most importantly, she's wanted in this country. She can't be seen without permission.

We'd better run to ....... What a nasty country!

　Swearing, Sharanra walked away from the scene.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the future.

　I'm not sure what to say.

　Sharanra came back to the base of the Inquisition with a desperate thought.
　She is now wearing the vestments of a priestess, though she is also a wanted criminal.
　It is possible to distract others by simply erasing their presence, but if they see her white priestly robe, the effect will be lost. Then, there is no escape.
　Moreover, he was not running away, but was watching the knights' battle from the shadows. No one could be more suspicious than that.
　The main reason is that priests who are missionaries in other countries do not go out to fight, even if they are in the Holy Priesthood of Metis.
　If she was a true priestess, she could lie and say, "I'm here to heal the knights fighting on the front lines," but unfortunately, Sharanra can't use recovery magic. Even if she learned recovery magic, the effect would be minimal.

"Huh. ...... That's really nasty. This is no way to make a buck. I don't even know where that idiot is. ......
"Sharanra, you're back. How did the front line look?　How much damage did you do to the knights?

　Joss Falk, who was at her side, was the first to ask about the state of the war.
　Their role was to push the Hell's Legion to other countries, but the situation was not looking good.
　According to the reports, the Great Givellion is slowly slowing down, and the other families are starting to disperse on their own. We've succeeded in attracting the main body, but it's useless if the lower Gs spread here.

The situation sucks. We're taking out every demon that gets out of control. The knights in this country are too powerful.
No wonder the knights are so strong." "Nonsense. ...... No, the entrance to the Great Dark Green Zone of Furan is near the country. It's no wonder the knights are so strong. The same as the Atrum Empire.


'That's not a normal way to win, is it?　Let's just say you succeeded in pushing me?
I'm not kidding. We're not having fun yet!　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience.
But you see, the ...... knight is insane. It's crazy.

　Most of the inquisitors are pleasure killers. If they return to their country without doing anything, they will be sent to a small room for a while to take care of business.
　As their official title is priest, they are usually in a position to be used as scavengers. Even if they enjoy torturing people, the rebels have been quiet lately, and the Inquisition has no place to play.

I have no choice. Let's widen the scope of this rampage. ......
"Well, there are plenty of pawns willing to die. If we're going to take over, we might as well do it in one of the villages.
The priests in this country are also traitors back home. It's good to give them a bit of a head start. It won't hurt us.
Oh, you poor thing. You're a terrible priest for an earnest missionary.
They're heretics. Then why don't you blame the heretics?

　Most of the priests who are touring and proselytizing in other countries are priests who may be dissatisfied with the current Metis Holy Priesthood.
They were not "punish the unsuspecting", but they were a hindrance to the general sense of decency and justice. For those who are addicted to power, they are the ones who need to disappear.
　If they are a hindrance to us, we can let other countries take care of them. The political rival will disappear, and more importantly, it will be a source of blame for the Solstice Magic Kingdom.
　The current Metis Holy God Kingdom was in a politically difficult position.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. I'd rather be a criminal than this.
"It's just easier to move freely, isn't it? Well, if you get caught, you're an idiot.
Yeah!　I'm not that stupid. The idiot who got caught left too much evidence. It's like he's stupid.
I agree with you. I'm gonna go tell those pious idiots what to do. "We can't make God's majesty known at this rate. I'm going to tearfully beg you to entrust your lives to me.
"You're a terrible woman, too. Killing others for your own gain?
"Oh, I'm only asking a favor.　It's their choice to die. You don't just want to kill people, do you?
No, I don't. We're just sending sinners to God. This is the will of the four gods.

　There is no better justification for murder than that of the pleasure killers.
　It's a great country with political pressure on its side, but for a mad criminal, it's a worthwhile card to play.
The Inquisition will be able to justify their actions with this cause, "the condemnation of those who avenge God.
　Even if they were caught, they were willing to put all the blame on the Pope. In other words, "if you die, you die. He is even prepared to be cut down.
　Although there are individual differences, those who engage in pleasure killing have a unique sense of values and enjoy even their own death as a form of pleasure. They were vicious because of their beliefs.
　In a sense, Shallanra, who is able to talk with such people on equal terms, is one of them.

You can get money by killing, but you can't control your life span. Wait and see, Satoshi ........ I'll find you.

　The word "discipline" does not exist in her dictionary.
　She is always dreaming her own good dreams and can't imagine the worst.
　That's why she doesn't realize it. She doesn't realize that this fantasy world is the worst possible match for her.
　She completely forgot that the common sense of modern Japan does not apply to this world. Even the painful experience she had before...
