It's not that I know much about Demon King Rilkara.
　Rather, although his name is famous, there are not many people who know much about him. There may be some detailed literature on the Great Temple of the Mullerian religion, but ordinary people like us know his name.
　However, in the depths of the great labyrinth known as the ruins of Rilkara, he was defeated by the brave Gordova at the time, a demon king whose name is engraved in history.

　According to him - that's the Demon King of Disasters.


''You know...''

....

Didn't you just say you were waiting for me?　What do you mean?

The word is true, Noah Whitefield. I have waited a long time for the arrival of the Unu.

Why me?

　Lil Cara doesn't answer, but raises her thin right arm.
　With that, a hole appeared in the temple that Lil Kara appeared in - a place that looked like the ruins of a decaying temple that was lined up on either side of it, as if it was connected to another dimension. From there, as if it were a distortion of the dimension, an odd-shaped face emerged.

　A lion with an eagle's head and wings.
　A kobold with a bloody sword.
　A rooster with a snake's tail.
　A little warrior with a dog's head.
　A spider dripping with acid.
　A doll with a golden body.
　A three-headed demon dog.
　A pack of shadowy wolves.

　It's as if they were summoned from the other world, and in this space where there was no sign of demons, the miasma filled the air.
　It was as if it was a manifestation of despair - and then it appeared.

''Nah........''

　Naturally, I was gathering magic power in my eyes and doing my best to "analyze" the enemy army.
　The swarm of demons existing in front of me is a horde whose number exceeds a hundred. And most importantly, the Demon King Lil Cara in the center of it all.
　The sheer volume of information is so much that it makes me feel like my head is going to explode.

''Demon King, level 99.''
"Gryphon Level 98
"Goblins level 95
"Basilisk Level 97
"Kobold Level 98
"Arachne, level 93.
"Golden Golem Level 94
"Cerberus Level 98
"Shadow Wolf Level 95
"Cyclops Level 94
"Ogre King, Level 96
"Pegasus Knight Level 94

　And many others.
　All of them in my line of sight are over level 90.
　In comparison, this one has Milo, Gilanka, Chappie, Bau, Drake, Angus, Amanda, and King - only eight of them are capable of fighting at level 99. Puppy is also low at level 66. The Guardian Golem that I just made a companion - Lobo is a slightly lower level of 91.
　None of the enemies have reached level 99, but most of them are as close to that as possible. As expected, I'm not smart enough to think that this is an easy win.

'This is my servant. I'll let you compete with your uncle's servant, Noah Whitefield.

'It would be nice if you fought a little more fairly.

I am the Demon King. I'm the Demon King, and he has a test to overcome. You'll get through it.

　With a grin, Lil Kara looks at me, her pretty face distorted.
　It's as if she knows everything, as if she knows everything.
　I told her my secret, which she couldn't possibly know.

''I'm brave.''

-What?

　That's what I wanted to do with myself that I wanted to get rid of with all my heart. When I was fifteen years old, I was given an abominable job from heaven.
　I've already changed my job to a demonslayer.
　And yet.
　And yet, you're still lingering on me like a curse, the brave man.

A brave man...?

Master Noah is a brave...?

You're a brave man, aren't you, sir? He's supposed to be strong.

"My master was a brave man...

I didn't know my master was a brave man.

Gosh, Goshujin, Yu, Sha...

"The boy, the hero...

I didn't know that Master Noah was a brave man.

I didn't think it was going to happen...

　The demons spout out a series of bewildering words.
　Just as the demon king is an abominable opponent for humans, the abominable opponent for demons is a brave man.
　Since ancient times, only the brave have the power to defeat the demon king. This is the common understanding of all living beings. In the eyes of the demons, a brave man is someone who will kill his mother.
　If this fact is known, my fellow demons might see me as an abomination. That's why I've been quiet for so long.
　I'm afraid of how my friends are looking at me. You can't look back because you're afraid of that.
　It's the natural enemy of demons to be brave.
　Glaring, I stare at Lil Cara.

I'm not going to be the only one who's been in the same situation. I am the magician Noah Whitefield. You can't be wrong.

No, you didn't do anything wrong. Only a brave man can put me to death. And only a demon hunter can succeed me.

What?

You're a brave man and a demon hunter. You are the best of both worlds.

What do you mean...

No more words are needed.

　Lil Kara, who had been floating in the air, slowly descends to the earth.
　Her long hair softly dominated, but her majesty was the demon king himself.
　To the more than a hundred servants behind her, she told them.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that. Destroy them.

'Oh, oh, my God!

　An enormous yell that made the entire labyrinth tremble.
　There was never a time when so many high-level demons would gather at once. Hence, the power contained in its roar is also like nothing I've ever experienced before.
　However, my companions slowly stepped forward.



Milo....

But it doesn't matter!　I am Milo!　Your master's first henchman!　If you don't want to mess with your husband, you'll have to deal with me first!

　Intuitively, Milo shouts, raising his axe.

'Even the big ones say good things sometimes.

Gilanka...

"My allegiance is already to my Lord!　I will only fight with my faith, even if the Creator is there!

　Calmly and calmly, Gilanka tells him with his sword at the ready.

''I, too, will obey my master!

Bow.....

'The master is our master!　It was the master who made us strong and fought with us!　I will repay my master for all he has done for me!

　Bau howled with force and fangs.

'Ooh, ooh, I don't know...'

"Chappie...

But I like your hands, my dear. That's why I love your hands, my dear.

　Chappie states with a horrified but determined look in his eyes.

'Hmm. Certainly for us, it doesn't matter if Master Noah is a brave man or not, does it?

Drake...

'I only offer this warrior to Master Noah. Now that I have a body that can live forever, I want to test how high I can go. For example, can this fist penetrate the Demon King?

　With a chuckle, Drake composed himself with a smile.

'I don't care if the boy is a brave man or not.

"Puppy...

I'm dying to slay you, Demon King. I don't know why. I can't stand the sight of you, and my blood is hot.

　Glaring at Lil Cara with a glare, Puppy snorted.

''Hmm. I've got to show you that I can be of some use too!

'My allegiance is to Master Noah alone. Prepare yourself, Demon King.

Oh, dear. Don't forget about me. I'm going to be useful, master!

Tex, nympha, nympha. Master.

　Angus, Amanda, King, and Lobo each show motivation.
　To them, it doesn't matter if I'm a demonslayer or a hero, it doesn't matter what I am. They just acknowledge me as the only master.
　Even if it was the power of the 'Chains of Slavery'.
　I was happy.

''Alright, you guys...!

　It roared and bellowed at the swarm of demons that were about to attack us.
　I laughed.

'Let's go!　I will defeat the Demon King with my own hands!

'Oh, oh, no!'
