The past ... the magical world?

　I asked Stella in surprise.

'It's also more than a few hundred thousand years old - probably super-ancient, only told in mythology.
We've traveled through time, are you saying?
I'm detecting traces of a violent disturbance in the flow of space-time... perhaps the explosive energy from the destruction of Zegert's sealing device is affecting it.

　And Stella.
　She herself still looks stunned.

''Traveling through time is impossible with any kind of magic, and we don't know exactly why, but...''
A world past...

　I was still very confused.
　It's unbelievable that we would come to the age of mythology.

　Nevertheless, I have full faith in her 'eyes'.
　And of course, her own.

　That's why I'll believe Stella if she says, 'This is the magical world of the past.
　And based on that premise, we have to decide on our next course of action.

　The first thing we have to confirm is.

Are there other demons who have wandered into this world besides us?
I'll look into it.

　Stella's third eye sparkled.

'The reactions - two. The undead and the beastly type.

　Stella finishes detecting after a while and tells him.

　Is the undead a regal?
　In that case........the beastman type is Zegert?

It's a world where there's no right or wrong. Let's meet up with those two first.
Are you sure?　If it was Regal and Zeggert...

　Stella asked anxiously.

'As for Regal, I think he'll be fine. Zegart too - I've already destroyed his trump card, and even if it comes to a battle, it's unlikely that he'll be driven away.

　I said.

'I can't say it's unlikely they'll be enemies, but it's not too late to meet them in person and see how they react before deciding how to handle them. And it's not necessarily Regal or Zegert to begin with.
Yes, sir. As you wish, Master Freed.
Let's go.

　We began to move forward.

　In the age of mythology, in the land of demons.



　After a short time of advancing through the wilderness, a dazzling glow flooded in from ahead.

What is that...?

　It was a hemispherical dome that flickered in red, blue and green.
　It had a mechanical appearance, with pipes and tubes attached here and there.
　And.

"We have located the approaching party ... and have eliminated anyone who would disturb the master's ability to sleep comfortably ...

　An inorganic voice sounded.
　Thin mechanical arms extended from various parts of the device.
　The tips of the dozen or so mechanical arms were filled with a magical radiance all at once.

"Hey, this can't be...
"'Laguna Bomb'

　Explosive superlative magic!
　A dozen or so black magic bullets released at the same time.

'Lucifer's Shield,'

　I put up a magical barrier around myself and Stella and shrugged it off.

''A 'Ragnabomb' - how dare they shoot a magic of the Demon King class...''

　Stella looks surprised.

'What the hell is this device?'
Leave ... for the Master to rest in peace ...

　The device still shakes a dozen mechanical arms and sends out what seems to be a warning.
　The phrase "for a good night's sleep" is somewhat dumb, though.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time.

"Sorry, but we'll have to defend ourselves too.

　I stuck out my right hand.

"'Meteoblade,'

　Dozens of flaming swords are ejected together.
　They cut through all the mechanical arms of the device.

'There's someone inside?'

　I asked the device.

　I thought back to what the device told me earlier, 'For the master's rest.
　Then there must be someone sleeping inside the device.
　And.

"Oh dear, my 'Ultimate Magic Napping Device, Ultra Ultimate Bedroom' has been destroyed.

　A sighing voice came from behind me.

'This is a restricted area. Where did you guys come from?

　When I turned around, I saw a demon tribe there.

"You are...

　He has silver hair and a purple costume.
　A boy with an innocent-looking face.

''Judas...!

　So this guy had come to the past world too?
　It was impressive that he didn't even give me any sign of him and went behind me.

''Hmm, who are you?''

　Judah nodded his head with a scowling face.

''........I can sense a tremendous amount of magic power. In terms of the amount of magic power, I should be the best of the demon race, but you far exceed that. What in the world are you?

　His aloofness tightens.

''And... for some reason, there's even a hint of human presence.
Don't you understand me, Judas?

　I raise an eyebrow.

'I don't know any demons like you. Neither does the girl over there.

　Judah looked at me and Stella and assured me.

　Is she losing her memory or something?
　Or...

What's the matter, Judas?
Yeah, I've met some weird demons.

　Judah looked back at the newly appearing demon race.

　This one was a muscular and great man, in contrast to the slender Judas.
　He wore a luxurious armor decorated with gold and jade.
　I'm not sure I'll ever be able to find out what it is.

I'm sure you're interested in that, too, Velfer?　They could be as strong as you and me... or better.
Well, that's interesting.

　Growling warrior demon race.

　Wait.
　What did you just say?

　This guy's name is...

You're not suggesting...

　Next to her, Stella is also gulping.

'I see, I feel a tremendous amount of magic. I'm glad to know that there is still a fierce man like you in this land....... Kuhahahahahahaha!

　The warrior demon tribe laughed vigorously.

''I am Demon King Velfer. This is my aide and partner, Judas the mage. Let me hear your name.''

　Wölfer.

　That's the name of the - the demon king in the beginning.
