　The ghost captain Francis Rosnay approaches the ship at a speed that does not match his huge body.

　The guards are surprised at his speed, but so are Jeanne and Toshizo.

　Rosnay crushes the open-mouthed guard.

　He grabs the guard by the neck and kisses him on the ground, cracking his skull.

　An octopus leg growing out of his back twists off his neck.

　They kick the guard in the gut.

　They do whatever they want, but Toshizo responds immediately.

　To save the guards, he steps between them and Rosnay, who is in a state of panic, and points his sword at them.

"The true nature of a pirate is not to bully the weak. You'll have to deal with me."

　Rosnay licks her lips at the unsuitable challenge.

"A samurai from the Orient. A samurai from the Orient, and a hero from another world. I'm sure I'm a worthy opponent."

　He reaches out a tentacle.

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

　A tentacle wriggles from Rosnay's back and attacks Toshizo. Toshizo cut them down with a single sword, but there was no end to the number of tentacles extending from his back.

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

　The tentacles that he had slashed attacked Toshizo as if they had a will of their own.

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

　Toshizo almost fell behind, but it was Jeanne who followed him. She swatted away the writhing tentacles with her holy sword.

　The tentacles finally disappear when they are purified by the holy power of the sword, but this has no effect on the main body.

　Jeanne swings the holy sword down at Rosnay.

"You said you have an invincible body.

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

　Marco had indeed said such a thing, but was it really true?

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

　I confirm this with a blow from Jeanne, but it seems that Marco's information was true.

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

　Jeanne's holy sword almost cuts Rosnay in two, but as soon as it does, the wound starts to foam and close up.

"It's true!　You monster!

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

　Jeanne scorns. She doesn't like creatures that go against the providence of God.

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

　So I do the same, and attack.

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

　I made a fireball in the palm of my hand, and threw it at Rosnay, who seemed unconcerned even though she was on fire.

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

　He was enduring the heat of the fire until one of his men, a half-fish, poured water on him.

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

　This is something that can never be defeated by means. I resolve to use the forbidden magic, but it is never unleashed.

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

　As I cast the forbidden magic, Rosnay gave the order to retreat.

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

　Did she sense my forbidden magic, or did she realize that she was at a disadvantage? I don't know which it was, but when I looked behind me, I saw reinforcements from the Maritime City side.

　I let out a sigh of relief, but it seems that the bloodthirsty saint has not fought hard enough yet.

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

"Don't let her get away!

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

　she said, running after Rosnay's back, but I stopped her.

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

"Wait, Jeanne! Rosnay seems to be running away. Don't bother chasing her.

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

But it would be a shame to let her go.

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

It wouldn't be a waste if we let him go. They took heavy losses in this battle. We'll call it a draw.

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

　I said and pushed Jeanne down.

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

　Jeanne was unusually flustered.

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

"Aww! The Demon King got excited. I'm in heat."

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

　She blushes, but I correct her, as she is mistaken.

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

　I show her where Jeanne was just now.

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

"Hey, there's a hole in the ground."　

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

　What is that?　Jeanne looks puzzled. I explain to her.

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

"It looks like he has a cannon in his hand. He may look like an octopus, but his hands are very high-tech.

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

　I look over and see Rosnay's left arm snap open and smoke is coming out of it.

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

　He gave a little click of his tongue. He seemed to be lamenting the fact that he had missed.

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

"That seems to be his secret," he said, "but now I know what else he's got up his sleeve.

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

"What do you mean?"

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

　Jeanne asked, but I knew that if I told her, she would just cut me down, so I just gave her the short version.

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

I've discovered the weak point of his immortal body.

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

"Oh, my God, that's amazing. Where is it?

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

Well, that's a secret. I'll tell you next time we fight.

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

　That's what I tell Jeanne, but I keep an eye on him. I didn't miss the reddening of his left eye as he aimed at Jeanne. When he regenerated his body in the previous battle, I didn't miss the light shining in his left eye.

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

　When he invokes his magic power, his eyes light up. That is the source of his magic power and his weak point, I conclude.

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

　If we fight him again, we may be able to hit that spot, but right now we can't afford it either.

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

　The wounded members of the security forces were in pain right in front of me. I could not abandon them.

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

　I let Rosnay retreat and cast a healing spell on the wounded guards.

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

　It is strange for a Demon Lord to cast restorative magic, but I was surprisingly good at it.

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

　The guards who had been dying recovered.

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

　However, there were still too many wounded for me to heal them all by myself. Jeanne, who is a saint, also turns into a saint mode and casts recovery magic.

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

　Jeanne and I, along with a priest who was among the reinforcements, worked hard to heal the wounded and save the lives of the men.

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

　Perhaps our efforts paid off, as the majority of the wounded survived.

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

　Now it was the doctor's turn. After the wounded are out of immediate danger and entrusted to the doctors, I return to Marco's house.

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

　What awaited me there was a word of thanks for my efforts in protecting the port.

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

"You have done a splendid job, my lord. All my conservative merchants are in awe of you. Now half of the city will follow you.

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

　Next, Ryoma made a proposal.

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

"My Lord, this means that we now have all the sponsors we need. We will hire some of your best mercenaries, and this time we will strike out on our own.

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

　I nod slowly as I hear those words.

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

　The ghost captain Rosnay must be defeated. If we let him go unchecked, the Maritime City will belong to the revolutionaries.

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

　I do not intend to seize the wealth of the maritime city, but I do want to gain the trust of the merchants who live there.

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

　I wanted to gain their trust, trade with them, and make the city of Ashtaroth more prosperous.

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

　For that purpose, I will defeat the pirates. When I expressed my determination, my men again praised me for it.

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

"I will spare my life for the sake of the Devil King."

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

　Eve concluded.
