60-Cleaning up




 
 The night of the day Apristos invaded Alheim and was driven back by Hurt.

'd*mn it! Why!

 On a mountain by the side of the prairie overlooking the royal capital of Alheim, a demon was beating something.

 At the side of that demon lay the body of a former general of Alheim's army, which was reduced to rags.

 The demon beating something was Amon, who had made a contract with the former general.

 The former general had been drained of his soul when he made a contract with Amon, and Amon was in his body.

 However, the former general's body became useless, and thus, with the body of a demon, he is beating something that traps him.

''Why can't I get out! What's going on with this ward!''

 What trapped Amon was a spherical ward with a radius of about three meters.

 Even with the power of Amon, a demon, this was impossible to destroy.

 No matter how much Amon attacked it, the warding didn't budge.

''d*mn it!

 It wasn't supposed to be like this.

 Originally, he should have been able to bring down Alheimers by now and plunge the elves into the depths of despair and fear.

 And the enormous amount of negative energy that could be gained would have been the food for the evil gods, the Lord of Amon.

 But he was stopped by just one of the human race.

"That race of people, Harut or whatever it is you call them. Remember you will be the first to die when you get out of here.

 There was a figure approaching Amon, who was muttering such things.


'Hmmm, you're killing me.'

?

 Halt came to check on Amon.

But that doesn't mean you have to get out of there. Come on, get out of there and kill me.

You are! I knew these wards were your...
'Yes. I didn't expect the demon to die like that. When I hit you, I put a ward on you that would deploy if you hit something.

 The wards that were placed on Amon were wards that fixed his position and rejected attacks from within.

 When Amon was hit by Hurt and slammed into this mountain, the wards unfolded and Amon was unable to move from this place.

 The warding was created by weaving in various inhibiting magic to keep Amon, a demon, from escaping.

 You can't even concoct magic inside the ward, and Amon had to try to destroy the ward with his bare hands.

''I don't like killing anything humanoid, but if I let you go, some country might be unhappy.

 Saying that, Hurt held his hand to the sky.

"──What's that magic power? Wait, wait, wait! I'll do anything! I swear to you that I will never interfere in this world again. Yeah, so please forgive me.

 Amon felt that the current Hurt was more of a demon than he was a demon.

 That's because such an enormous amount of magical power was directed at him.

 For the first time in his life, he made a heartfelt plea.


 But...

 Hurt's hand swung down.

'Holy Lance!'

 A supermassive spear, far from the original one, pierced through Amon with its warding.

"So...

 Amon was completely purified by the Holy Attribute Magic. The former general's body also disappeared at the same time.


''I was able to defeat the demon for now. I was able to confirm that the warding was also effective against the demon.

 Hurt, alone, puts the situation in perspective.

 Hurt's ultimate goal was to get a shot at the evil god who killed him.

 For that purpose, Amon was used as a test case to confirm Hurt's abilities.

 Without being proud of his current situation, Hurt reiterated his decision to continue to hone his power for the sake of the evil gods in the future.


 Then, Halt was transferred to his two wives, who were waiting for his return.
