With the Guardian Golem - Lobo as a companion, the huge door behind it slowly opens.
　This is the second time I've seen this view. It was just me back then, but I think the same thing happened back then, when I defeated the Guardian Golem and the door opened. It feels like it was a long time ago already, though.
　Well.
　And if I pass through this door, I'm at the end of the line.
　This is the place where I abandoned the abominable "hero" and was reborn as a "demon wielder".

".........

　The view beyond is memorable.
　It was like a temple of a defunct civilization, the ruins of which were spread out. There, lined with broken pillars and stone monuments, was the Book of Job Change that I had been searching for.
　At the time, I thought this was the place where Rilkara used to live, and that it had deteriorated after the battle with the brave Goldova.

''Is this the innermost one?　Master Noah.

'I've come so far, I've turned back. I don't know what happens next.

Oh, yeah. Well, let's do a little search.

Hey, Moonbeam, don't get ahead of yourself!

Your hands, your hands, your face, your hands, your face...

　I thought this place was the innermost part of the world. There was a rumor about the place where the Book of Changes exists that it was the "innermost part of the world's greatest labyrinth". I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
　But if Marin's words are to be believed, the Demon King is alive in this labyrinth. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one.
　I thought, and I glanced at the puppy.

"...hmm?　Pappy, what's wrong?

....

　Without responding to my words, Puppy was staring at a point. And it was the same for King, who was slightly behind Puppy.
　What in the world is wrong with the two of them?
　The other demons usually asked, "Is there a back there? And I'm looking for it.

'I shall.........destroy........!

....



Shut up, all of you!

　With a thump, he hit Puppy's head with a jumping kick. And then, caught up in Puppy who was blown away by it, King's body also shook slightly.
　Haha, King looks around as if he noticed something.

''Eh..............................What have you been doing?　　Oh, no, Puppy.......it's nice to feel that way, but I don't really like you.

"Aren't you being rude?　And don't say my name again!

Well yes. I'm willing to give you a chance to be a lover for a night.

I am the one who needs to be excused.

　They exchanged an awfully unimportant exchange.
　But I'm glad it seemed like it was just a moment of weirdness. Now, properly, it's Puppy and King as usual.
　King burbles and shakes his nine heads and looks again at the one point he was staring at.

'Well, I'm sure your master has noticed.

Yeah.

It's that way. There's a demon king in the temple. I thought I was going crazy.

Is there some kind of thing that only you guys know about?

Yes. Well, that's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?

　Uh-huh, laughs King.
　Well, I won't ask too much. I just want to know that the Demon King is there.

"Hmmm........I had no idea that I'd end up looking as ridiculous as I did.......

....

What's your problem, kid?

Nothing.

　His usual appearance was much more comical, but I won't tell you that.
　In fact, it was kind of cool to see Puppy staring at a single point and going on a killing spree. He was like a dragon that would go down in legend.
　Now, yeah. Well, I'm just a regular puppy.

Okay, I'm leaving. "Okay, let's go see this Demon Lord's face.

'Master Noah!　Is it that way!

Master, wait!

My Lord!

　We made our way towards the temple that Puppy and King were staring at.
　Although I couldn't see it from a distance, the closer I got to it, the more it seemed to be surrounded by a tingling atmosphere. Without a doubt, there is a hint of a strongman in there.
　Unintentionally and naturally, I felt the corners of my mouth rise.
　Even more intimidating than when I confronted the King, I could see it even through the physical walls of the temple.
　Is that why?
　As I stopped walking, the demons also stopped walking.
　None of them tried to speak at all.

"You're here....

　Slowly, I pull out my sword.
　The guardian Gold Bird--the sword was newly purchased by Silmeria because it was spilled on the blade when he fought the brave Goldova. It is a famous sword that is thirty percent more expensive than before.
　And then a fierce sound of a gong reached my ears and I felt the temple in front of me blow away.
　Gulping and swallowing spit.

".........

　What was there was the very incarnation of tyranny.
　There was the very embodiment of destruction.
　He was there, the very embodiment of despair.
　He was the very strongest demon king.

　The magic power that overflows from his body is not the kind of magic a human being can reach, no matter how hard he tries. Although he was only wearing a piece of cloth on his nude body, he had a huge presence that made you feel as if you were facing an iron giant.
　Although she has a pretty face like a girl's, her gaze alone might cause the weak-minded to die - a tremendous sense of intimidation that makes you think so.

　This is the Demon King.
　This is the Demon King.

''You've come so far.''

....

"Long has the Unu waited. Noah Whitefield.

....

　Nothing, I can't answer.
　How do you know my name? Why did he wait for me? Is he really alive? His presence is so overwhelming that even such questions are drowned out.
　Neither I nor my friends are able to say a single word due to its overpowering presence.

What is it? So it was you, the Demon King.

　Only Puppy was the only one of those who spoke.
　It was supposed to be the lowest level of all of them. It was as if it wasn't intimidated by its majesty, its presence, its intimidation, at all.
　Even I, a former brave man, had my legs trembling a bit.
　The demon king turns his slit eyes to the puppy.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. It's been a long time since I've seen you.

The woman who ran away from me with her tail between her legs has grown quite high and mighty.

"Blow me out of the water, dragon. You're nothing to me now, you're nothing but a pebble.

Oh. You are the one who would pull it off. Will you let me run away from you again?

Puppy...!

　That's how he interrupted the conversation between the Demon King and Puppy.
　The way he speaks as if they are acquainted, it's as if he doesn't feel any fear. Even Milo and Gilanka are trembling.
　It must be--'

''I told you. I've met a demon hunter in my time. You humans have grown quite sturdy over the last thousand years. Or perhaps you don't want to be a human anymore.

　Puppy tells the Demon King with a huff and a snort.
　Even though he is an opponent who should not be able to match him at all on the level, yet he is irreverent to all intents and purposes.

''Puppy has met, the demonslayer........''

　That's what the puppy told me when it happened.
　He said he had met a demon hunter once, about a thousand years ago. He said she had a weak kinsman with her.
　Her name was...

I'm the Demon King. I'm the Demon King, Lil' Cara.
