Chapter 29 Devil

“A Devil, is it?”

Called by the Guild’s leader Rio to listen to the matter, as expected, this time was also a request for a special subjugation .

“Oh, the sighting place is a Class D Dungeon [The Hermit’s Diving] . An adventurer was exploring this dungeon accidentally discovered a hidden room . He said that a devil was there . ”

A Devil, it is a cornerstone of this world that is in line with dragons and angels . Melfina says that it is a pair with God . She says that there have been several times in the history that a superior being becomes a demon king . Although the degree of danger is high, it is rare to discover one, so there are a lot of unknown points in their ecology . There are various theories such as the fact that the Demon Lord sent them from the Makai as scouts .

By any chance, is the devil of the topic in the streets?

“The appearance conditions of a devil are various, due to the evolution of monsters, a rise of madness, a transferred person from another world . Whatever the reason, It will have the power to destroy the world, and those who intend to make it will be called the demon king . ”

I see . In fantasy RPG, a Demon King is common, but it is not such a thing .

“Well . So, I do not know how the next demon king appears . What one knows is that even if you defeat the demon king, it will appear periodically in due time . ”

Does it resurrect… … cannot get rid of that cycle?

“This is the providence of this world; it is a phenomenon that cannot be changed”

The event, eh…… Melfina feels bad about this . Well, let’s go back to the story .

“He was able to come back alive . ”

“It seems that the devil has been sealed in a hidden room, but strangely it will not attack and solve the seal . ”

Rio shakes his head lightly . Well, it will be heavy for Class D adventurers . It’s like a dragon sleeping in front of you .

“That’s why you brought the request to us . ”

“To be honest, Kelvin, I was at a loss as to whether I should ask you this time . The power of this demon is unknown; it may become a subjugation class S . If you decline I am thinking to convince an S – class adventurer . ”

It is rare for Rio to worry so much . Even though, he was sending me with a cool face at the time of the suppression of the dark purple forest . Is it such a dangerous opponent?

“The devils are a race with individual differences . Is it a place like B class even by the lower level?” (Melfina)

Even a weak devil has that strength? Well, I should accept this or refuse……

“By the way Kelvin, you saw Prince Tabla of Trisen the other day?”

“Giku!” [SFX shock, surprise . ]

“Eh, yes . It’s not like I met him . ”

“Is that true? Well, I do not know who it was but it seems there was an unknown and outrageous person who put his hand on the prince . After that, the post-processing is serious . The guild’s people are all working and exhausted . ”

“Was that so? It was serious . ”

This development is……

“It was almost a matter of trust with Tisen . I did a lot of support as well .  In terms of money, it’s going to be… Oops, the story is off . So, do you accept the request?”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

“That guy is a devil……”

Eventually, I got overwhelmed by Rio and we received the request . Now we are in a strategy conference at an exclusive smiting workshop in the guild .

“It cannot be helped what has passed . Let’s take countermeasures against the devil better than that . ” (Melfina)

“I have never seen a devil but, is it a tough monster?” (Kelvin)

“Yes, it is . It appeared in the lesser demon’s territory . Although it was the lowest devil, it was finally able to beat with the elite of the best of the knights . Now I won my self alone, but I can’t imagine how strong he’s evolved . ” (Gerard)

“Would it be possible for us to win…?” (Efil)

“Don’t be too excited . Fortunately, the devil is sealed if I look at the status with my appraisal eyes, we can retreat immediately if we can’t win, Melfina, what is the information of the devil?” (Kelvin)

I have never met a devil before . In order to be thorough, I am limited to listen to Melfina at such time .

“The shape of the devil depends on the individual . There are those who have the appearance of a classic demon, and there is the devil of the appearance near a man . The closer it is to a human, the higher the devil . ”

“The devil that my self-fought was purple in skin and wings were growing, it was a face closer to an oak than a human being . ” (Gerard)

“It was a typical lesser demon . There are various appearance differences, but their characteristics are also diverse . As a race is blessed with a robust body and abundant magical power, it can adapt to any skill . The coping method will also vary depending on individuals . ” (Melfina)

Is there no theory as a countermeasure? It is a really annoying monster .

“Even further, I have to prepare for anything to happen . First, let’s check the equipment . Gerard, I’ve got your gear done . ”

“Oh, it’s true, I was waiting!”

Clothe takes out the black shield from storage . At the moment he put it out, it stuck to the ground .

“Damn heavy as usual . I can’t use it with my strength, but Gerard can handle it . ”

The name of the shield is Dreadnought . It is a class A product which is struck to the limit and strengthened . Incidentally, I did not name it . The name is attached without permission by the blacksmith skill . It is not a name I gave .

“Ho … … . ! I wonder it feels familiar with the hand… Further, I shall give you a deed of arms as all shields!”

It’s because a sword and armor look like a body in case of Gerard . There is nothing to do with smiting skills there . Then it is a translation of saying a new shield .

“Mr . Gérard, I also have a gift . ”

Efil hands a bright red fabric to Gerard .

“This is… It’s a cloak! Efil made this, it’s great!”

“This is the Crimson Cloak . Because Gerard is fighting at the forefront, I hope it helps you a little . ”

Hmm, a cloak that combines a resistance attributes . Efil’s sewing skills have improved considerably, too . Especially, it has a half-effect for the fire attribute . It would be tougher if Gerard equipped it will have resistance against physical attacks . This sage black robe I’m equipped with is actually created by Efil . It has special effects such as automatic micro-recovery of MP and enhancement of magic . Same as that Crimson Cloak is class B .

“Same as the sewing skill rank, but because Efil usually practices without fail . The technical power done without a skill is also a considerable one . ” (Melfina)

Oh, I cannot lose .

“The next is Clotho . In case of Clotho, it’s a storage–“
