97 # 97 Sealed and sludge slime.






 I jumped over the city walls and shot out the legs of the soldiers who were attacking me one after another with my Brunhild while looking at the soldiers lying all over the courtyard with a sideways glance. Since "Paralyze" didn't work on these people, the paralyzing bullets wouldn't work on them either. Let's have them stay quiet for a while.
 The Demon's Lord turns around and shoots something like a heat ray from both eyes. Danger! When I quickly ducked, the ground was scorched by the heat. Is that really a hot wire?
 The heat rays were flying at me one after another. This guy....that's enough!
 With my accelerator-boosted speed, I ran up the castle wall and jumped straight to the top of the Demon's Lord's head as it floated in the air. He swings the great sword of Mithril and hits its head with a super-heavy attack.

''Lie down for a while.

 Gosh! and the Demon Lord falls from his head to the ground. It's probably magic nullification, but it doesn't matter with this one. It's only the sword that added the magic effect.
 Zsoon! And it was a giant demon that fell to the ground, but still tried to get up and grab his arms on the earth.

'Slip.'

 The demon's arm on the ground slipped sluggishly and fell off his shoulder again. Without missing the opportunity, he smashed the feathers that grew from his back with his great sword.

''Gyauaaaaa!

 Hearing the echoing demon's screams, he shot an infinite slip bullet into the demon's feet as a finishing touch.
 As a result, the demon continued to fall endlessly. Each time it did so, the huge body fell to the ground, and the ground rumbled with a thud, a thud. It was a nuisance to the neighborhood, this.
 Leaving the demon alone, I jump up to the large balcony with a great view of the Imperial Castle. There was a blue-faced General Bazur there.

''Well, it's time to punish you.
'Whoa, who are you? That's a senior demon! There's no way I could take it down by myself...!
That's not what I'm saying. It's a done deal.

 I answer as I look at the Demon's Lord who is still tumbling.

''Kook ... but I won't eat that hand on me. Physical attacks are pointless with the 'barrier bracelet', and magical attacks have 'magic nullification' as well. If you make me fall down, I'll immediately suck out the magic effect's magic power with the 'sucker's bracelet'!

 The general starts laughing high-pitched laughter to see what's funny. What do you call it, "Frog in the Well"? I think there was a better saying, but I don't know what it was....
 In order to silence the general, I take out the example tool from "storage".
 DON'T! and placed on the balcony is a cube three meters square. Except for the bottom, it was as transparent as glass, and you could see the whole inside.
 Inside, there is a box containing several poisonous colored slimes. They don't have any poison, despite their poisonous colors, and they seem to be mainly living in the water. Basically, they are harmless monsters. Yes, 'basically'.

'Wha, what's that?
To explain, it's called Hedroslime, and it's a grateful slime that cleans the water. However, it has one drawback. When it dies for an hour or so, it gives off an unbelievable stench. Well, it seems to disappear after about two hours. And the Hedroslime in there died about an hour ago, you know.

 While explaining, I look at the General with a sideways glance.

''Well, no way...''
The "Gate,

 A magic circle floated at the General's feet, and the figure disappeared with a stone, as if falling into a pit. This also doesn't target the general himself, so "magic nullification" doesn't work. It's magic that connects places to places. And the vanished general now appeared in the cube. At that moment.

'Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 The general screamed in the glass (or more accurately, the thing that made the steel plate transparent) and pinched his nose. Immediately, his face turned blue and sweat flowed like a waterfall.

''d*mn it! It stinks! What's that smell? Oh yeah!

 It must be really stinky. My face is turning purple. In my former world, there was something called "surströmming" that emitted a horrible smell, but I heard it was far worse than that. It's amazing that some people have fainted and suffered after-effects from the smell. Huh?
 The general began to concentrate his magic power to break this iron plate glass with his magic. But there's no way you can chant properly if you're holding your nose. He immediately gave up and eventually stopped moving while holding his nose in the corner of the box. They say he's enduring, but to no avail. I went around to the front of the general and gave him a funny face, and he erupted and breathed in the stench as hard as he could.

'Oggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!

 Oh, I'm getting weak. I can't stop sweating and tearing and sniffling and my face is a mess. There are several small "gate" air holes in the ceiling, so I shouldn't be choking. In the meantime, it's connected to the back of the mountain where it's not popular, but it's annoying to the animals that live there.
 Oh, I'm shaking. I couldn't focus on my eyes anymore. I fell to my knees and just fell limp. I'm completely white eyed. It looks like I've fainted.
 Well, even if I didn't do this, there was a way to do it, for example, by transporting him to the middle of the ocean....... I might be able to summon the demon again and rescue him out of there. I thought about burying him alive at the bottom of the ocean or in the ground, but I've never been to a place like that, so I wouldn't be able to open the "gate" in the first place.
 For now, I'll just transfer the motionless general to this side. Open the gate, and transfer him to this side just like before...

Kusaaaaahhhh?

 What the hell? It's like the smell of food waste concentrated hundreds of times...! Ew!
 I closed the "gate" right away, but this isn't coming from the "gate", the General stinks! Wow!
 Quickly removing the bracelets from the General's arms, he was asked to return to the box at the "gate" again. The arm bands also emitted that nauseating stench. The Hedroslime itself would stop emitting the smell after two hours of death, but the stench that had seeped into it would never go away. The smell was so fierce that I thought it would never disappear.
 The next thing I knew, all the demons in the Imperial City had disappeared. The Demon's Lords that had been tumbling have also disappeared. The supply of magic power must have been cut off.
 There will be no more problems regarding demons. All that's left is the soldiers.
 For now, I opened the Gate and called the emperor and his men over here.

''I didn't expect you to really take care of it all by yourself...''

 The emperor looked at the general in the box with a dumbfounded tone, his eyes white and unconscious.

''It smells something...''

 Rion-san frowns as he holds his nose.

'Excuse me, it's the smell of dead Hedroslime. You see, in there. It leaked out a bit.

 The wind has scattered a lot of them, but they still drift faintly from the bangles on which they were placed. Is it the "barrier bracelets" and "sucker bracelets"? It's useful, but I'm afraid that if I have these, I'll get some unwanted attention, so I'll have to get rid of them. It smells bad. The fingers that touched the bracelet also feel vaguely smelly....
 Since it's an arm band, the general inside must be in a hell of a lot of trouble....
 The knights of Belfast went to the castle's dungeons to release the imperial knights.
 In the meantime, they took His Majesty the Emperor out to the corner of the balcony and decided to show the footage again to let the people of the Imperial City know that the situation was over. This time it was live. He holds up his phone and cues the emperor.

'O imperial city people. We have caused you trouble. The mastermind of the rebellion has already been captured and the imperial city is now back in our hands. I hope you'll be relieved.''

 He pans the camera on his phone to show the general passed out in the box with his eyes white and snot and drooling. The other soldiers would probably surrender at the sight of this.

'I'll make sure that this will never happen again, and I'll straighten up my collar. I want to show my apologies once again. I'm sorry.''

 The Emperor bows his head in a small way. Heh, he apologizes. From what I heard, I thought he was more arrogant than that. I wonder if he's gotten sick and has become more rounded.
 After the relay, the emperor looks at the general in the box with a languid gaze.

''Is something wrong?''
Well..... I felt sorry for him. This guy joined the army because he saw me when I was young, striving for a strong empire and going forward without regard to sacrifice. In other words, this man is a mirror of my youth. If I hadn't gotten sick, I might have ended up the same way. If I hadn't become ill, I might have ended up the same way.
That doesn't absolve this man of his crimes, though, does it?

 That many demons had been summoned. If ten lives were sacrificed per one of them, a rough estimate of five hundred were sacrificed. I don't know if all of them were on death row, but it wouldn't be a good thing that they were on death row.

I'm aware of that. A crime is a crime. A crime is a crime, and you need to pay for it. I'm sure you owe me a lot of trouble for this. It's time to put an end to that.

 The Emperor smiles sadly. That's right, he's a victim too.

''Your Majesty!

 Slamming into the balcony, an avalanche of knights in black armor came crashing down. Ah, the knights of the Empire who were locked in the dungeons. A stern-faced, one-eyed, black-haired knight among them kneeled down before His Majesty the Emperor.

''Your Majesty I'm so glad you're safe! Moreover, your body seems to be getting better........what in the world is this.......?
Oh, it's the Knight Commander Gaspar. I'm grateful to Lord Fuyu. Not only did you make me healthy, but you also defeated General Bazur.
What...?

 With a look of surprise, the Imperial Knight Commander or something like that alternated between me and the unconscious general in the box beside him. I'm not sure if I'm the reason why His Majesty the Emperor has become healthy, though I'm not sure if it's because of me.
 Then Else and Yae arrived on the amber. Kuroshio and Coral also came in late, floating fluffily, but this one was in miniature mode.

''It's all taken care of, in case you were wondering. The soldiers in the army are almost out cold.

 Else reports as she gets out of the amber. It seems that the rest of the soldiers have been taken care of. I'm relieved that they seem to be safe too.

'Good, capture the fallen soldiers. Do not touch the soldiers who surrendered beforehand.
Ha!

 By order of the emperor, the knights, led by Knight Commander Gaspar, leave the balcony.
 So that's the end of this commotion for now. Well, I'm glad that nothing has happened. Let's leave the rest to the people of the Empire.
 Oh, we need to bring back the summoned beasts.
