125-Thirty-third episode, monsters, should be cut (ray perspective)
I -
The information that Magnus had given me had been so excruciating.
It seems that Eldora has betrayed humanity and sold her soul to the Magus General. Moreover, by killing both of your former party members, your Level has been raised to 36.
Magnus, who was going through his morning routine, told me in a clerical tone that dared to keep his emotions out of it.
In the mountains near the Tomb of the Dragon, we were cowering in the early morning chill. Cowering in the early morning chill, I left the tent and hit the fire, unable to put my head back on the ground.
''Eldora.......so what are you going to do...?''
'It hasn't been mentioned here yet, but it's not hard to imagine.
Magnus spoke in a voice that sounded more chilled than the cold air typical of the mountains.
'Eldora is a shallow man with a strong desire for power and upward mobility. Such a man has gained a level of power that cannot be easily stopped even by the army due to the Unique Skill of the Warrior of Light. There is only one way to go about this. Overthrow the state by force and rule through the politics of fear.
I never thought I'd think about such a big deal....
'You think that's impossible? I'm sure Ray, who was traveling with me, knows more about Eldora than I do about him. If you say that you don't, then I'll change my expectations too.
..........
I couldn't respond to it instantly.
It was so insane in scale that I reflexively chanted "no way", but... on second thought, Eldora might do that much.
He's the kind of guy who thought of Berry as nothing more than a tool for his own advancement, and was willing to use cowardly means and injure him in order to get ahead.
'It can't be like this, can it?'
Magnus closed the 'strategy book' and stood up.
If possible, I would have liked to raise the level to 35 here, but I couldn't say that anymore. As soon as Chocolat returns from fetching water, we'll make our move.
'I understand! You're taking the Towngate back to the capital, right?
We can't just go back. We need to be ready.
What do you mean?
''Eldora will probably sweet-talk the young knights into siding with him in the event of a rebellion. No matter how strong your personal valor is, you will still need the numbers to conquer and occupy the castle.
Yeah, I see.
So we're going to need a certain amount of help.
'I understand the logic, but do you have an ate for that?'
Of course I do.
We folded our tents and waited for Chocolat to return, preparing to pull up to the camp.
Then Magnus cast a spell and we moved through the Town Gate.
The destination was Kilomitsu.
He asked for a meeting with General Georg, and despite the fact that it was still early in the morning, he immediately let him through to the noble chamber. The wise general seemed to think that it must be an emergency, and he appeared before us in a vain attempt to take what he could.
"I've had a long talk with General Georg, and I've recalled--
Magnus explained on our behalf.
General Georg listened attentively.
But I was on edge and watched him with a sense of urgency. I wasn't in the mood for it.
I couldn't reveal the existence of the "strategy book," so I couldn't explain the source of the information.
Moreover, the content of the story is ridiculous.
Furthermore, the part about Eldora instigating the young knights to attack the capital's castle was just Magnus's speculation, not a confirmation--
Very well, Master Magnus. Take a third of the troops under your command.
-- but in spite of that, General Georg readily agreed.
'You believe me!
"Of course, of course, Warrior of Light. If it weren't for Lord Magnus, this town would have been overrun by an army of goblins long ago. If Lord Magnus has a devious plan against Kilomitsu, he wouldn't have helped us at that time.
That's theoretically true, but....
I thought that this man, who could make a bold move according to his own judgment, was a great general.
I'm sure he's a great general. I'm sure the standard of "ridiculousness" has been broken in my mind for a long time now. After all, the two of you have done a mess, dropping four forts and sending meteorites down from the sky just by yourselves. If you people tell me to prepare because the heavens and the earth will be overturned tomorrow, I will believe in you and prepare for you.
General Georg laughed at that and popped a few hundred of his elite to lend me a few hundred.
◇◆◆◆◆.
And so we returned to the capital.
With the use of the Town Gate, it doesn't matter how many hundreds of people are traveling, it won't take long.
Passing through the Transfer Gate, we found ourselves in one of the parks under the castle.
We immediately looked out over the castle in the distance and saw smoke rising from it.
''It looks like Magnus-sama's prediction was correct!
Frankly, I think it would have been a lot less funny if he'd missed.
Anyway, let's hurry up!
I was in too much of a hurry to get my feet in line, and I was the first to run.
I wondered if Berry was safe, and that was unbearable.
I wanted to rush into the castle as soon as possible, but--
About fifty young knights blocked off the front of the castle gate.
''How clever of you to come to the princess' plight, Knight of Beatrixine!
That's some serious doggie stuff, let's hear it for him.
But we're somewhat late to the party, aren't we!
We have just received word. The castle is now ninety percent complete.
'I've heard that the Grand Duke and Prince Ruizel have been beaten to death by Master Eldora.
I'm sure it won't be long before we hear the news of Princess Beatrixine's death.
"Hahahahahahahaha!
'Hyahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!'
They mocked me and laughed at me, probably because I was an eyesore, and because I had been embarrassed during my duel with Eldora.
I guess they're bitter about the fact that I've always been a pain in the ass, and that I've been embarrassed during my duel with Eldora.
'I don't have time to listen to your nonsense! Move it! Otherwise, you're going to get hurt!
I pull out my Black Claymore and hold it up with both hands.
I really don't have time to deal with these trivial people anymore. Time is running out.
I was in such a hurry that an unbelievable sight appeared before my eyes.
Now, which one of us is really going to get hurt?
"Don't think we're just knights now.
She's going to show me the power that the Lady Callicorn has given her!
"Hahahahahahahaha!
'Abba-baba-baba-baba-baba!
The sound of their laughter became distorted.
At the same time, their appearance was also distorted.
They stopped being human and turned into demons!
'This is what it means to sell your soul to a demon.
Magnus, who was leading his troops and catching up with me, said this to me, confused.
'Let's poke him a little and put him to sleep - that's sweet, Ray, if you're thinking like that.
Yeah, why not?
They're not people anymore. They're demons. They can't go back. Then we will destroy them. That's what we've been doing to all the demons.
But, you know, whatever the f*ck they are, they're human beings.
I'm gonna take this opportunity to tell you something, Ray.
Magnus said in a terribly solemn tone.
''No matter how high we rise in level, no matter how much everymanly power we gain, we are still human. We are not an omniscient, omnipotent god. If you misunderstand this and become conceited in trying to do what you can't, you will surely get hurt.
..........
I swallowed raw at the sheer force of Magnus' words.
'Do you understand? Give up on them. They got what they deserve.
........Yes. ...Okay.
Good answer. Then we're going to war.
Magnus began to chant the spell.
I also began to focus on the 《Renewal Qi Gong》.
Then, Magnus' Fire IV exploded, blasting away half of the demons in front of the castle gate at once.
''Giaaaaaaah!
'Wha, what is the power of this magic ah!
I quickly slash into the confused demons.
Without the need to use any particular skill, I slaughter one of them with a single sword.
.........This response, can't I reach level 15?
Yes, I was experienced enough to know that now as I traveled with Magnus and fought fiercely.
Less than level 15?
Only less than 15 feet?
That's the extent of selling my soul and quitting being a human!
That's what you guys want, isn't it?
f*ck you!
I couldn't help but yell at him.
I held back my tears and kept swinging my sword.
'Guaaaaaaaaaaaaa!'
No, no, no, no, no!
"I give up! I surrender!
So please spare my life!
'Dear Warrior of Light! Master Ray!
He held back tears and continued to swing his sword.
He slaughtered one of them with a single sword.
They believed that it was their salvation, as they could no longer return to being human - no, that was a deception.
'I will not forgive the demons! I will not allow you to go after Berry! Absolutely!
He held back a sob and kept swinging his sword.
Until the end, he did not relax his hand.
That's right, the demons who were formerly knights will all die out, until the end of their lives.
