Huh...?

"--

　My fist strikes Drake's cheek, knocking him out again. That's two more shots.
　While thinking about this, I looked around and noticed that a swarm of demons was surrounding the village.
　It seems that they are only surrounding you, but they don't seem to be trying to attack you at all. But why did they come together at this time?
　The Bau barked loudly and loudly.

　Well, I can see why they aren't attacking us.
　All the demons in this forest are under my control. Specifically, under the command of Puppy. I heard that they are submissive to me, such a higher being than the Puppy.

''Hee!　Well, there are so many demons...!

What the hell is going on here?

　Shelly and Randy must be confused as well, fighting my people.
　That's just as well. The demons have appeared in such large numbers.

　By nature, demons do not have the propensity to swarm.
　There are not a few demons like goblins and wild dogs that act together as a species. But demons that are at least above a certain level never swarm. Rather, they are more likely to act alone.
　A look at the lower levels of the Lil'Cara Ruins will tell you a lot about it. In that labyrinth, powerful demons attacked the powerful demons individually one by one.
　That's why I was able to fight them too, though. It's a good thing that high level demons are attacking all at once, because even I would be in danger.

　Therefore, to them, this is a sight they've never seen before.
　Gorgons, centaurs, cyclops, unicorns, werewolves, lizardmen, wyverns, orcs, kobolds - all kinds and shapes of demons are gathered in one place, following my orders.
　Though I can't treat them as close friends like Milo and Gilanka.
　Maybe I should make sure to fit each one of them with a proper collar of servitude once they're settled in.

'Oh, hey, Shelly!　This situation is indeed too bad!

But...

What the hell is Drake doing in there?

I'm going to go over there and lie down!

Hey!　Don't turn a blind eye to it!

Ugh!

''f*ck it!　d*mn you, you bloody dragon!　Ice Break!

'Hahahahaha!　I cannot be attacked like that!

'So how many times do I have to tell you that it works for me on my back!　It's cold!　It's cold!

'The Son of Man is attacking us with all his might!　I can only meet it head on and block it!

'I only understand that we're not the best match, Mister Puppy!

　Puppy is taking Shelly's magic head on and bouncing it back, penetrating and neutralizing it as it is.
　I'm worried about Gilanka's safety on his back, but I'll leave that up to him. In fact, I wonder if Gilanka needs to ride on his back.
　Yup.
　I'll give him a more decent ride.
　And there are so many demons that surround this village. There are probably at least one or two demons that are compatible with Gilanka.

　But it's strange.
　I have absolutely no idea what they are. I don't remember ordering this many demons to gather together, and if they're going to come when I need them, why didn't they come when I was cutting down the wood?
　And it's even stranger.
　The density of the village is somewhat different, even though it is surrounded by the village. The road we've been on - that's where the demons seem to be concentrated.
　To put it more simply, the one at the center of that swarm - like a bau.

'Master!'

Hmm...?

'Here are 15,000 men for my master to follow!　I can collect them!

Heh...?

I developed those skills while following my master!

　I don't get it.
　I can understand that 15,000 troops are here, well, I can understand that. The truth is that there are so many demons.
　But what I don't understand is the next word.
　I don't understand the fact that Bau has the skill to gather the troops I follow.

　Somehow I was curious, so I tried to use "Analyze".

　Name: Bau.
　Occupation: wild dog level 25
　skill
　Bite Level 22.
　Claw Attack Level 10
　The howl of the demon call.
　chain of servitude

　Bau's level had risen all at once.
　I wonder what in the world caused his level to rise. And he's also learned a new attack skill called claw attack.
　And the problem is underneath - the barking of the demon call.

　The howl of the demon call.
　He gathers the demons that follow his master, the demonslayer, by howling.

　It's an ability that is completely true to the word.
　It's really useful, but how did Bau get this ability?
　I have no idea how it came to be, but it doesn't matter now because Bau is so cute, coming up to me all of a sudden and wagging his tail in praise and praise. He's really cute.

Bau, this is great.

'Eheheh!　I'll keep trying!

Yeah. So Bau is our second-in-command, then.

Wow!

　Since I'm the demonslayer who accompanies the demons, there's no doubt that I'm the captain.
　And Bau is the vice-captain because he can call up my demons like that. Great, I feel like it's a party all of a sudden.
　Until now Bau was only my healing, but I didn't expect it to be useful in this way.

　But to my words like that.
　Snappily, there were two shadows that stopped moving.

''What........what.......?''

　One stopped to pounce on Randy at any moment, Miro.

"What are you...?

"Mister Puppy!　What's wrong with you?

　The other one was about to launch a glide attack on Shelly at any moment, Puppy.
　The two that have stopped are definitely watching me and Bau.

　Wavering, Milo stops attacking Randy and turns around to look at us.
　Glitteringly, Puppy flaps his wings gliding towards Shelly and glares at us.

'Hey!　Master!　That would be me in this case!　I'm the oldest!

Of course I did!　I am the dragon!　The dragon would be the flowery one!

What are you guys talking about?

'Oh!　Don't be a cocky, cocky lizard that's just cowering in fear of your master!

"They can graze like cows.　Respect a higher being like me!

You've never even had a good run in the past.　You burned your husband's house to the ground, and you act like you're a big man!

Uggh...!　No way those who are afraid of heights are going to be in such a role!　I am the righteous one!

Gut....!　I don't care how high they are.　Order, order!　I'm the best!

It doesn't matter the order!　It is inevitable that those who are strongest will be recognized!

Come on!

He'll kill you!

　For some reason - like that, it turned into a fight between Milo and Puppy.
　Is this also because I created a new position like vice captain or something? I mean, even demons want something like that.
　But.
　As expected, aren't they too popular?

　Puppy is breathing fire and Milo is wielding an axe - at the moment when the mysterious battle starts.

''You guys need to calm down!''

Hey.

Puffer!

　One by one, they became docile when I gave them a chop to the brain.
　Totally, I don't want them to split up like that.
　Good grief, I thought, and looked at the Elf's hiding place again, thinking that my original goal - to hit the Drake three times - was to hit him.

''Shelly!　Enough!　We're getting away!

'Yeah!　Teleportation!

　I hit Drake, and Shelly, who had been forced to leave because of the fight between Milo and Puppy that had started, screamed out as she activated her magic.
　As it was, I saw Randy and Shelly's figures percolate away with it.

''........''

　Oh.
　He got away.
