394 A proposal from Lord Leinster
While the evil god was transforming into its final form, he felt the eyes of his master and Lionel, who had been in a deadly battle just a moment ago, and for some reason the half-demon god that Lord Rainstar had helped.
Among them, the half-demon had a particularly confused look on his face, but perhaps because he gradually realized that he had been saved, the next moment he felt anger and murderous intent swell.
As if imitating my master's [Flash Motion Technique], he closed the distance between his attacks and attacked my body with six jet-black swords--but Lord Rainstar's attack was not that great. As if to say so, he lightly swung the sword in his hand in a semicircular motion, repelling all the attacks, and aimed the tip at the half-demon's throat.
The half-demon's eyes widened as his attack was repelled so easily.
"It's terrible to attack all of a sudden. Well, it looks like you've caused a lot of confusion, so let's have a little conversation. First of all, I have no intention of tarnishing that deadly battle in which you gave your whole body and soul. I think it was a truly wonderful battle."
"Then why did you let me live?"
"That's so that you, the demon race, can rule this dark continent."
"???"
The half-demon had a confused look on his face, but I also couldn't understand Lord Leinstar's thoughts.
"Monsters and demons will not obey the weak. On the contrary, all monsters and demons will be subordinate to you, the strongest of the Dark Continent. And the most important thing is that you are cruel and cruel, seeking pleasure and plotting. Among demons who like to plan, you are a rare warrior who hates the weak and desires to fight the strong."
"Do you think I would take on such trouble? It would be better if we destroyed the demons in the first place and ruled the Dark Continent."
"Unfortunately, the miasma of the Dark Continent is poisonous to other races. That's why they can't rule it. That's why, even if they are ruthless towards the weak, they are callous when it comes to anything other than fighting the strong, and yet they are firm in their judgment. I want you to rule as someone who can rule."
Master and Lionel showed a certain understanding of those words. Lord Leinstar probably thought that a half-demon could rule the Dark Continent. But to be honest, I'm just worried because I've seen the overwhelming strength of this half-demon god.
"No matter how many words of praise you say, my thoughts will not change. And you tainted the last battle!"
However, the half-demon's anger had not subsided, and Lord Leinster's proposal was rejected.
"I see. I was thinking about the opportunity to fight against them as many times as they're getting stronger..."
“What does that mean!?”
"It's just what you say. They have a lot of room to grow, and if you rule over the Dark Continent, there won't be a need for so many barriers on the Dark Continent. That way, they can fight regularly. It's possible to create opportunities."
Then, the anger that had been there subsided as if it had been a lie, and I found it interesting that the half-demon's heart was shaking.
Could it be that this half-demon god is also the same as his masters...?
Behind him, his master and Lionel were looking at him suspiciously. Maybe I'm just vaguely aware that I'm not me.
"If that proposal is true, I can't help but think about it... but the minimum condition is if you guys can defeat the evil god."
"That's something I've confirmed, so it won't be included in the conditions. Now, Luciel-kun's master and servant, you showed me a good fight that made my soul tremble."
"Isn't it Luciel after all? Who the hell is he?"
“What did you do with Luciel-sama?”
A smug atmosphere leaks out from his master and Lionel, but Lord Leinster doesn't care and begins to lightly introduce himself.
"My name is Rainstar Gastard. Is it okay if I'm the heroic spirit that Luciel summoned to defeat the evil god? I think it's strange to introduce yourself as a heroic spirit."
Then, the stern atmosphere disappeared from my master and Lionel, and I got the impression that they were somehow convinced.
"So why is Lord Leinster in Luciel's body?"
This is the first time I've ever heard my master use honorific language.
"That's because Luciel-kun was worried about whether he would be able to summon me, and in order to make sure he could defeat the evil god, he summoned me."
“Well then, Luciel-kun!”
After hearing Lord Leinster's words, I heard the voice of Rumina-san, who must have fainted a while ago, from below.
"You can rest assured. Luciel-kun's soul coexists with me, and I can clearly hear this conversation. Besides, once I defeat the evil god, I will return this body to Luciel-kun. I will not take away anyone I love. It won't happen.''
Lord Leinster winked at Rumina-san and replied, and Rumina-san smiled in relief.
If you think about it, it's my body, so it's no different than me talking... When I thought about it, I suddenly felt embarrassed.
“Were you the hero Rainstar who killed my father!?”
The half-demon gave a voice of surprise to Lord Leinstar with an indescribable expression, but he did not attack.
"That's right. Even if I had no choice, it is true that I dyed the Dark Continent with the blood of monsters and demons."
There was no sense of regret in those words.
"Did you really come in alone?"
“I had no choice but to do that.”
Did he really enter the Dark Continent by himself and fight demons and demons, including the Demon King?
"I see... We demons have always believed that the strong are the righteous, so I'm not going to complain. But why didn't we annihilate the demons?"
"Although there were very few among the demons, there were noble people who fought only to protect their families and friends who weren't like demons. So, by activating the barrier without annihilating them, the demons became dark. I made the choice to prevent the noble demons from leaving the continent and let them live.''
For me, who had always fought against demons thinking that they were all evil, this made me think about a lot of things. My salvation was that all the demons I had fought were cruel and belligerent.
"If you really want to defeat the evil god and create an opportunity to enjoy battles on a regular basis, I will listen to your proposal. In any case, there are only a handful of monsters and demons left on the dark continent due to the evil god."
"That's good. You can rest assured that this promise will be inherited by Luciel-kun, the owner of this body."
No, no, what are you deciding on your own? I raised my voice of protest many times, but Lord Leinster, who could hear my voice, just laughed and didn't fight.
"Well, time is running out. Let's talk about what happens after I defeat the evil god. With the collapse of the Dark Continent's barrier, the concentration of miasma has increased, and strengthened monsters have appeared in various places. It will be. MaybeMonster gang runawaystampedeThere is a high possibility that this will happen.”
“Father, I would like your cooperation.”
Lord Leinster approached the clinging Pope and gently patted his head.
"Fruna, this is something that you who are living now should solve. You all understand, right?"
The masters nodded at Lord Leinster's words.
"In the end, in order to subjugate the evil god with all my might, I will have to overwork Luciel-kun's body. I want you to recover somehow. If you do that, most of the problems will be solved."
Wait, what an ominous thing you're leaving at the very end?
Just then, they hear an explosion from above, and when they look up, they see that the evil god has truly transformed.
There didn't seem to be much of a change in the crimson horns on its head or the six pairs of jet black wings, but its lower body, which had become a dragon, had its legs back and a long, thick tail.
Moreover, there was a small barrier-like membrane made of red-black spheres. Could that be the final form of the evil god?
Even my master and Lionel, who had been talking normally until just now, were shaking, and somehow managed to stand by putting pressure on their legs.
I once again feel that this is an existence that is far outside the realm of humans.
"come!!"
Lord Rainstar raised a sharp voice, and the wings wrapped around the evil god spread out, and just when I thought they were glowing purple, the wings started falling at a tremendous speed.
Lord Leinstar swung his sword in response to the attack, annihilating all the falling feathers, and the membrane covering the evil god tore apart.
I was able to recognize that momentary event as I coexisted physically with Lord Rainstar, but I guess everyone, even that half-demon god, couldn't see it.
The reason was that we were once again entering a world where time stood still.
"Luciel-kun, I hope that what you're going to experience from now on will give you something to live on."
Lord Leinster said that and flew into the sky where the evil god was.
Thank you for reading.
