Of the five magic bags, three had reached their limit amount. All of them were filled with ant demon carcasses.
　Considering all of this, it was clear that they had destroyed an impossible number of them, an impossible number.

　The only reason we were able to defeat all the demons in one hit was because of our weapons and our excellent followers.
　Why did we have to go through this in the first place?
　I was angry at King Rockwell, who was looking deathly blue next to me.

'The dwarves will have to deal with the remaining demons in the future.
I told King Rockwell that.
"...I understand. I'll give you instructions when I return.
　You can tell from their expressions and words that they are indeed remorseful.
　It's not only that, but also that he's not satisfied with the fact that he's the only one who has fallen ill.
　It's because only one person hadn't put on the aura coat, but he was suffering from miasma sickness and was still unable to stand up.
　Then Lionel and Keti raised the issue of the Dwarf Kingdom.

It's a good thing that we've got to take care of this problem for the Dwarf Kingdom or else it will cause a lot of problems.
In the end, if those two take over the Dwarven Kingdom, I have a feeling that there is no future for the Dwarven Kingdom.
I nod at that and tell King Rockwell.
'Is that why you're not going to involve us in that sort of thing in the future?
　King Rockwell bit his lip and pushed it shut.

　I had no choice but to speak to Estia.
'Estia must be pretty strong.
I'm still getting help from the spirits.
Well....
　Apparently, when you see Esther, you feel rejected? comes out.
　I didn't know if this was because I didn't trust Estia, or if there was something else going on.

　I didn't want to stay here forever as expected, so I looked up at the hole in the ceiling to go back the way we came and realized that the distance was about ten meters.
''........As expected, it's not far enough to fly.''
　I was just about to dispense to King Rockwell when Lionel called out to me.
'Master Luciel, there was a rope, wasn't there?'
Yeah. Do you need it?
　I took out the rope and handed it to Ketty, not Lionel.
　Because Ketty reached for it.
'Ketty, check your surroundings,'
Hello? Master Lionel.
　The next moment, Lionel placed Ketty on the flat of the greatsword without the flames and swung it upwards.
　Ketty kicked the flat of the great sword away and went over the hole in the ceiling.
''I'll go too.''
　Lionel nodded as Kefin told him this, and as he repeated the same action, Kefin disappeared through the hole as well. At the same time, the rope came down.
'Whoa, you're fast. So, King Rockwell, can you move, then?
Are you sure you want to be my first?
Yeah. You know that if you try to lock me up, my neck and torso will separate.
'Humph, I've heard it's sweet, but it's not that sweet, is it?
Because they're so good at what they do.
　I smile and walk up with my face turned away.
'Once we get up there, Esther will go up next, followed by Lionel and me.
As you can see, I'm not going to put Master Luciel last.
'I have an idea. Even if they tried to lock me in or if some demon came out here, Lionel and the others could fly in and rescue me, right?
　I showed him a scare, and Lionel reluctantly agreed.
　Esther climbed up, Lionel climbed up, and as I put my hand on the rope, the rope was pulled up with great force.
'Kuh.'
　I had a firm grip on the rope, but I was thrown into the air as soon as the uncommon pain in my shoulder hit me from the pull.

　And what I saw was King Rockwell's men, the dwarves who had been in his entourage, the former slaves who had refused my advances, and the wounded Kettys, and King Rockwell pulling up the rope.
　When I landed, I poured a high heel on all of them with a magic formation chant and recovered them all at once, and I saw the surprised faces of the dwarves and former slaves.
''........What's the situation?''
"As soon as King Rockwell came up, these guys came in and unleashed their magic.
"...King Rockwell?
I'm sorry. I'll take care of this. I'm sorry, but the slaves are yours.

King Rockwell's son, Glaios, spoke up.
"Father," he said. You are an old man. I know that hundreds of years ago a single man destroyed that Rockford with magic. But in the three hundred years and more since then, no such monster has appeared.
　We will kill your father and his human race and rule them from underground.
"...Glaios, are you going to turn on me, too?
　King Rockwell's voice was squeezed out, and Glaios's shoulders shook at the words of King Rockwell's voice... and he started to laugh.

'Huh. Aresley was me, and I was slowly distorting it. Your father didn't seem to notice, though.
You! When did you start? 'How long have you been thinking about this?' said King Rockwell, angrily closing in on Gryos.
'It's been a few years now. We were going to let the ants lead us around a bit more and dig underground~'
You're not going to...
'Yes. I raised those ants myself. It was a bit of a struggle, though, because there were so many of them.

Wait a minute. Why did you try to destroy your own country?
　I couldn't hold back, I couldn't speak out.
'What's the point of telling you guys who are about to die? Hey, kill these guys. Don't kill them because your father still has some things for you to do.
As Glaios said this, the dwarves rushed forward and the slaves spun out a chant.

'Keti, Kefin and Estia, let the slaves deal with them. Lionel will stand by.
　In the next moment, Ketty and the other three scrape off to disable the slaves.
　I had one question.
　Aside from the slaves, why didn't the dwarves have a look of impatience on their faces, knowing what Lionel and the others were capable of?
　That was the only thing that bothered me.

　The slave didn't stop chanting despite the screaming pain of being poked in the tendons and arms of his legs.
'I wonder what orders they gave him?'
　As soon as I muttered that, I tried to dispel the slaves with a magic circle chant. Then the dwarves attacked us.
Knock him out! Lionel, please.
"Yes," Lionel said, blowing the dwarves away as he had in his audience.

'Gryos, what have you done to these men!
Well, it's not working, so I'm just giving it to you.
　Despite the use of recovers and dispels, the dwarves' miasma did not return.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. No matter what you do, it's useless. I'll kill you and your father! Go after that man in the robe.
　As Glaios said this, the dwarves tried to come towards us like ghosts. However, as Lionel readied his great sword of fire and waved it, I felt that the dwarves' progress was somewhat frightened. I cast Purification Magic, Purification Magic, just to be sure, and they fell down from one side to the other.

'What did you do,' Glaios asked me.
"That's my line. "That's what I'm talking about," he said, "turning my friends into the undead.
I said to Glaios, who had turned the dwarves of the same species genus into undead.

''Undead?!'' Then King Rockwell could not hide his surprise.
'Father, what surprises you? They are my servants, so it doesn't matter what happens to them.
I won't allow it. Luciel and the others will take care of them.
　King Rockwell shook his fist with a pale face, and the next moment the ground rose up and skewered Glaios' stomach.

''.........You fool!
'Huh? Was your father this weak?
　Glaios grinned and touched the blade of dirt that had been thrust into his chest, and the blade of dirt crumbled away without a trace.
''? What the hell?
Father, you're being too lenient. If that's the best you can do... huh?
　In the next moment, Glaios is engulfed in light.
'I have no mercy when it comes to the undead, and I'm not asking for anything.
　I was chanting the Sanctuary Circle (Sanctuary Circle) with no chanting after I had cast Dispel and Purification on the slaves from one side to the other.
And when the light that had enveloped Glaios stopped, there was Glaios, who had fallen.
　I looked at the slaves and saw that they were still alive and freed the slaves, except for the infiltrators of the Empire.

'Why, why didn't you consult the eagle?'
　King Rockwell walks up to Gryos and touches his body.
''Don't ... touch me! Why? Because I have a grudge against your father, you see. And always will be, and always will be.
　Glaios' body collapsed like sand as he told him that.
''I didn't think there was anyone who could stop me from eating the magic stone and turning into a demon.............not lucky.

　Shortly after Glaios disappeared, leaving behind the magic stone, a few slaves who had been infiltrated from the empire died in convulsions.

''Glaios, Glaios--!
　King Rockwell continued to call Glaios' name with tears in his eyes.
　And so, with a rut in our hearts, we removed the threat of the dwarven kingdom and Rockford.
