　And the battle in the city has begun.

　If I had not been a maid of honor, I would have fled to my parents' house.

　The Demon Lord, buried underground, lights up the darkened castle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I, who was serving by his side, could only be stunned by the unrealistic scene that had just occurred before my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, ah, ah ...... the castle has been buried in the ground ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Using the spell of earth-shifting, the structure of the earth, the castle ...... and the city buildings were simply changed and placed underground. It's nothing to panic about."

　You say such a thing with such a casual manner, but please don't talk about things with the common sense of the Demon Lord.

　In the first place, he is truly an insane being when he can easily pull off something of such a large scale.

Now, what do you think?

　The Demon Lord, sitting on his throne, deploys his magic in the space.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, something is projected on the black magic pattern.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Something is colliding with each other at an incredible speed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can see someone moving amidst the raging flames and gusts of wind, but as a non-combatant, I don't think I can follow it with my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Demon Lord, is this ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is a magic to project in space the view seen by the demon's eyes. Right now it shows the current battle of the First Commander.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The First Commander is the strongest swordsman in the demon army.

　Although we cannot follow the battle with our eyes, we can see the massive destruction of nature that is taking place in the battle.

"Kannagi are a nuisance. This is where we had to send Nero in to stop them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kannagi, you know, the one that was in those ruins: ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, the partner of the hero, the first Princess of Time. It was Kannagi's sister who left her blood until now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A healing magician at the ruins---an animal woman who had put Usato in danger and proposed suspicious plans to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She had somehow become one of them, but I had not expected her to be so extraordinary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"While Nero was restraining Kannagi, I used the scrolls I had created to transfer the heroes, but it seems that ...... we missed one."

　The Demon Lord moves his hand to the side, and the magic changes the scene projected on the screen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next image projected on the screen was that of a hero flying a ball of light at high speed through the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, he's flying very easily. ...... And he's avoiding our attacks very easily. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The soldiers are desperately attacking the heroes who are flying freely in the sky without riding the flying dragon, but they are not getting anywhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is obviously faster and more agile than the flying dragon. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......Was that the light we saw before the castle sank the attack the heroes were about to unleash?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is to be expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, is that so?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seeing my panic, the Demon Lord, who seemed to be taken aback, leaned back against the back of his throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There is nothing unusual about flying. The scrolls were originally intended to divide the brave men and women. Whether they fly in the sky or hide in the ground is a trivial matter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Demon King, who muttered so, put his hand on his chin and looked at the heroes flying in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You seem to be good at manipulating magic. It is possible that he is better than his predecessors at manipulating magic and annihilating it. ...... next."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He moves his hand again and switches to another scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next scene is the arena where many soldiers of the demon clans are gathered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was tilting my head, thinking that it was just a gathering of soldiers, something golden and shiny suddenly crossed the projected scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is it?　What light?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We've lost this one."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... what?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It seems that I was able to capture it for a moment, but ...... it is indeed called the hero of thunder. He left as soon as he was surrounded. I'm not sure if there's another wizard with the same prediction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The soldiers in the magic circle look puzzled because they can't see the heroes who are supposed to attack them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But this is to be expected. If we narrow the passage, position the soldiers, and activate the trap, we will be able to block the fast movement of the lightning heroes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Since the other side has a precognition wizard, traps are pointless ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The demon king himself said so a while ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If it were Kannagi, there's no way a young precognition wizard could keep up with the thinking speed of someone who moves at the speed of lightning."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, indeed, ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, the heroes who are moving at high speed are also doing something strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people fighting in this city right now are all monsters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Humans are scary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since the healing wizard, who is supposed to be a non-hero, was like that, I wonder if other humans are like that too .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was thinking this and feeling fearful, the Demon Lord switches to the next scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next image was a human woman holding a spear clad in cold air in an arena like the one shown earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A brave warrior of Mialak?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A blonde woman who looks familiar among the ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She seems to be the eldest of the group of heroes. She floats a sword made of ice around her and moves it in all directions, kicking away the soldiers who attack her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She is the bearer of the armor of Farga, the divine dragon. She is inferior to the other two heroes in terms of talent, but she is superior in skill and battle experience. It will be troublesome if they are teamed up with ...... others."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Beautiful, isn't it? Beautiful.　The ...... way you fight!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mearrak's hero, with his spear at the ready, fends off and deals with the demon soldiers who come at him one after another, sending out a powerful blast of cold air to block their movements.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unlike the battle between the First Commander and Kannagi, his movements themselves are not fast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He just seemed to be making the most appropriate move in the right place at the right time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Suddenly, a Mialak hero thrusts the tip of his spear into the ground, creating a large wall of ice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the next instant, a glowing stake-like object crashed into the ice wall, shattering its surface.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, you have good judgment. It's a good magic that can be applied ...... easily to prevent magic weapons."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Looking in the direction from which the piles of light flew, I saw soldiers above the arena, who were putting magic power into crossbow-type magic tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The brave man who was pointed at a number of crossbows held up his spear as if he were throwing a projectile without flinching.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was about to throw his spear at the crossbow, --- at that moment, something like a pitch-black rope grabbed a big block of ice lying around the brave man and disappeared off the screen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now, it seems as if a block of ice at the edge of the screen was pulled away by something black. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Demon Lord seems to have noticed this, and tilts his head quizzically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the next voice coming from outside the screen---I could guess who was trying to do what.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

<<<< Wow! >>>>

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

""......""

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a voice that my head refuses to comprehend, I hear the sound of something crashing and breaking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Something extraordinary is happening outside the projected scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The hero of Mearrach, who is reflected in the magic, is looking in one direction and his face is drawn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... hmm."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nodding his head, the Demon Lord flips his hand and switches from one magic scene to another.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next one was..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

<--- WOOOOOOO!!!! >>

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The scene switches to that of NANIKA, spreading her hands and wings and screaming in an inhuman manner---and is instantly rewound to the scene of the heroes of Mearak from earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked at the Demon Lord and saw that he was bewildered, which he usually does not show.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It seems that I have projected the wrong scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, ......, maybe I'm not wrong."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the view switches back to the original scene, there is Usato, the healer magician, swinging his right arm widely in front of the multiple piles of light from his crossbow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He hit the light pile head-on and shattered ...... it into pieces?　He then turned his black right arm into a cannon-like shape and pointed it at the crossbow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A green magic bullet shot out at high speed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When it hit one of the crossbows, it blew up the crossbow and the soldiers around it, scattering a powerful shockwave and healing magic light.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......What is healing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He leaps with his wings spread wide.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Both arms gush out magic power.　He glides with his wings, spewing magic power from his arms, and plunges his right arm into the barrel of the crossbow, which is about to launch a stake of light.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moment he shouted that, the barrel of the crossbow was crumpled as if it burst from the inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... What is healing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usato pulled his fist out of the barrel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Behind him, he saw a soldier attack, his face contorted with fear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The soldier tries to rush toward Usato while releasing fire magic from both hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He squints at the attack, moves his wings on his back, grabs the soldier's arms without using his hands, and lifts him up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usato spoke to me in a quiet voice that chilled me to the bone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have worked with Usato for a short time, but I know a little bit about his personality.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He protected me even though he and Kira, a demon, were enemies, and I am sure that he is not a bad person at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess he was just trying to warn the soldier who made a desperate charge...,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

<--- Kyu>>

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

<<......>>

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure the people who think they are demons hear it differently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After seeing the soldier who had fainted with white eyes with a subtle look on his face, Usato lowers the soldier to the ground and then turns his attention to the frightened soldiers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, he suddenly raises his right arm..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a yell, he punches the ground, and a shadowy shadow spreads out from his fist, from which a blue bear, a blue grizzly bear, leaps out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With his wings spread wide, he and Usato leap toward the demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Soldiers who have been through the ordeal of the previous battle are screaming in fear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wow, it's a hellscape. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought he was a normal human boy when I met him at the ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it looks like the devil is in the mix. It's been a long time since I've seen one."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, I'm not. ...... are you really here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm just kidding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm extremely curious as to which one of us is joking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is the devil real?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or is it a joke to believe in the devil?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're a funny guy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Looking at the way he looks now, I doubt he's even human. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even in his current form, with wings sprouting from his back, he is hardly human, to say the least.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Coga and your report of his assimilation with the dark wizard. It has never happened before that a dark wizard, whose abilities are altered by emotion, could wish for an emotion that would lead him to assimilate with a human."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Even before ...... being sealed?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, the time when humans and demons hated each other the most. To those who know those times, that healing wizard who fights alongside other races must seem very different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even now, humans and demons are at war.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, dark wizards are feared even by our own kind, and it would be rare for one to grow up to be a nouveau riche like Mr. Koga.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A healing wizard like him but different. That makes him all the more interesting."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the Demon Lord saw Usato reflected in the magic, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The battle with the heroes has just begun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So far things seem to be going as he had expected, but I can't predict what will happen from now on.
