Ho.....

Drake, protect them.

Ha. As soon as it makes a move, we'll take care of it. "Demon Transformation (Metamorphic Beast), Race (Mode) Zombie Grappler.

　Drake changes from his clear water body to his normal form.
　It's easy to reveal the seed. I had also given Drake a "Demon Fusion" and fused the slime into him. And Drake is also a 'Chimera', a profession that allows him to change into a variety of demons.
　Since he is the highest level, he is usually a fixed zombie grappler. But this time, in order to hide and get close to Hemmel, he changed into a viscous slime. I thought he had gone away because of the transfer, but in fact he had changed into a thin body of water and was slowly approaching Hemmel.
　I was stalling for time so that he wouldn't see it through - that's how it was.



What, are you going to bring my mother or my brother next?　I won't let you go back in there. If you try to go back there, I'll kill you immediately.

d*mn it...!

Noah....

Back up, Dad. Stay close to Drake.

　I smile as I look at my dad, somewhat relieved.
　The worst thing I could do is to sacrifice my dad. I could have done my best to protect my brother and mother as soon as my father was hit with the blade.
　But I couldn't do it.
　I couldn't sacrifice my family.

"Hmmm, do you defy me, demon hunter?

I don't believe we can negotiate a deal right off the bat. But let me make a suggestion.

"Law.

"Release my mother and brother right now. And don't come after us until we leave the Imperial City. If you do that, I'll spare your lives.

　As long as I could free my family, there was no reason for me to be here.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to expect when you're in the marketplace.

Hmm........then we have no choice but to use our trump card.

What?

Well there was that huge dragon that invaded your country earlier, wasn't there?

Is this about Hydra?

　King Hydra - I say that while thinking of the image of King, the Onee Dragon now, the King.
　Come to think of it, I think Silmeria said that Hydra is the guardian of the Mullerian religion or something like that. Something like 'Saint Muller-sama's sent guardian'.
　To be honest, I've always wondered how anyone other than me could control the demons.

"That's not the only guardian that follows St. Muller-sama.

What?

The oracle has passed. The current Demon King should be put to death. And there's no better time to do it than now.

Oh. So you don't want me to help you anymore?

"No.

　Cooing, the Archbishop sneers across the cloth.
　His laughter is terribly unpleasant, as if he is overwhelmingly looking down on us.

'Fall before me, demonslayer. And cry out and beg for mercy. Prostrate yourself before the overwhelming force. If you beg for your life well, I will save it.

You tell me.

Come on, guardian--

　With a creak, a deafening sound echoes, and the Archbishop's right hand glows.
　The light burns my retinas for a moment, and my vision is blurred. But the light disappears in an instant.
　And the next moment.
　And the next moment... something appears in front of my eyes, dressed in jet-black full-body armor.

...

....

"Our great father, St. Muller, has sent his most suitable guardian to execute the slaughter of the current Demon King.

　It's a good thing that the miasma is so strong.
　The miasma that emanates from his body is not that of a human being, by any stretch of the imagination. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it in the future.
　This is the guardian--.

''As Saint Muller-sama wills, slaughter the Demon King of this generation. Guardian Goldbird!

Goldbird, you say?

　I've heard that name before.
　It was one of a string of names that Puppy had laid out at some point in time. As I recall, it's one of the 'Ancient Dragon Kings' (Ancient Dragon) as Puppy calls them.
The only one I know is Hiryu Crimson Fang, I guess, is what I know.
　I remember them because they had all these cool names in vain.
　One of them - that's the High Dragon Gold Bird of the Sky.

''Master Left. Bow down to your will, Master St. Muller. Demonslayer.

Analyze!

　Without a moment's hesitation, I activate the Analysis (Analyze) towards the full body armor.
　King Hydra was strong. It was so strong that I don't think I could have defeated it on my own. If this guy is that strong--.

　Name: Goldova.
　Occupation : Goldbird Level 99
　skill
　Full blown weapon, level 99.
　Weirdness level 99.
　Ironclad level 90.
　Defensive Breakdown Level 90
　Physical resistance level 60.
　Magic resistance level 40

....

　No way.
　That's what I thought after looking at the pure skills.
　First of all, 'Full Body Weapon' level 99 is a high level skill of 'Body Technique'. Even the enhanced Drake was a skill that was only level 33. Furthermore, "Weapon of Massive Force" level 99 is a skill that further increases the strength of one's muscles. I had seen Chappie activate it one day, and when he activated the skill, he had broken a huge rock with a single blow.
　Furthermore, the 'Iron Wall' is one that neutralizes most physical attacks when activated. The disadvantage is that you can't move from the spot as soon as you activate it, but it's the kind of thing that makes you almost invincible while it's active. When it reaches level 90, it's difficult to break. Normally, in order to break the iron wall, a higher level of "Defensive Breakdown" is needed, but unfortunately I haven't mastered it.
　However, there is one thing that is even more interesting to me.

　That is - the name of the guardian goldbird.

"Gordova.........

Well you see, my dear demon boy. The guardian Goldbird was once known as Goldova.

That's the name of the hero who defeated the Demon King Lil'kara!

'No matter. Rilkara was afraid of the guardian Hydra and ran back into the ruins. The one who pursued her and put her to death was this guardian, Goldbird.

Shh....

'Ooooh!

　Goldbirds--Goldova bellowed.
　I'm sure you'll be able to hear a flattening sound from behind that voice. Probably, Jessica has buckled down. Even from Drake, I can hear him swallowing in shivers.
　And I can't look back. If I show even the slightest opening, this guy is going to attack me at that moment.
　I draw my sword from my waist and prepare myself.
　If I let my guard down even a little bit - I'm going to die. That's how you feel about its overwhelming power.

"Now, do it. Your guardian, Goldbeard!

'Koloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskoloskolosk!'

d*mn it...!

　Gordova kicks the earth, and in an instant, he's between me and me.
　And then Goldova's fist and my sword.
　They collided.
