Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Veritas, between the thrones.

That place, once seated by those at the apex of this country, was completely desolate.

Because I was spared the hassle of cleaning it up and was left alone, but my footsteps accidentally echoed to the place where people had never come in more than the last three days.

It's not supposed to look like anyone, but only the footsteps sound, and gradually the shadows start to appear thin.

It was even as if it were an influencer, but eventually the shadow took the form of a solid man.

He's short, looks like a boy at first glance, but he's not.

I should have walked away from this place once, it was the devil.

The demon, who looked like a boy, smiles when he glances around as slightly as he looks for something.

Then, heading straight to a certain point...

'Apparently, you've been screwed a long time, haven't you?

The words were directed to the ground.

The boy's demon gaze is also directed to the ground, but naturally no one is there.

There can't be a response from where I spoke - a response that shouldn't have, I returned shortly afterwards.

'Hmm... an extra favor. Quickly, help me.'

'It's the mountains that want to do that, but you don't know exactly where you are, even though you know which neighborhood you're in somehow. I need you to untie that hallucination.'

"Shit... well, I can't help it, can I?"

The moment I said that, in a space where nothing was supposed to happen, the sole appeared to seep.

That face is undoubtedly the demon that should have been defeated by Soma earlier.

However, that appearance existed only from the neck to the top.

"It's not pitiful that you've just turned out like this."

'I already told you it was an extra favor?

'Oh yeah, I'm sorry about this'

Apologizing, the man leaked his tongue to the boy who remained smiling.

Still, I guess I had nothing more to say than that because I understand that a man is in a lower position in this situation.

There's nothing a man can do about it.

The men are demons, i.e. not ordinary creatures.

That's why I don't die trying to be just my neck, but that's also simply to say I won't die.

No matter how many demons you are, you can't just move around your neck.

Three days have already elapsed, in fact with only the neck, because you will never remember to starve or die of hunger, so you will still not die where you have been left alone.

With a hundred more years to go like this, a man won't die the same, but that's all at the same time.

If you can't do anything, there's no big difference between dying and dying.

The devil is not a normal organism, but he is also not ecological enough to grow on his own if his limbs are missing.

To fix it, we need the right means.

And the boy has the means to do it together.

'Hmm...... okay. More than that, have we got treatment yet?' Cause I don't think it's a good idea for me to be left alone with my neck any longer. '

'Well, I guess that is. And so am I.'

'Then fix it quickly. And when it's fixed... Well, how can you? That human being has humiliated me so much that I don't have any more. I'll multiply it back and dye that face in despair. Kuck......!

'Hmm, you seem to enjoy it and most importantly... By the way, I've actually been wanting to ask you something for a long time now?

"What? No, more than that, you need to treat me first. '

'No, it's about that, isn't it? - I wondered why I had to fix you. "

'... what? What the hell are you...'

The man stopped halfway through the words, I guess, because that's where he finally realized what was floating in the boy's face.

The boy had a long grin on his face... but only his eyes, he wasn't laughing.

And what is in its eyes is contempt and ridicule.

It seems convenient to forget, but you've already failed, haven't you? Where is the need to fix you for failing?

'Eh... you help me...!

'Yeah, I did say it. I told you, that's only until you fail. Of course, right? I have no taste in mud boats. [M] Well, I'm the one who turned your ship into a mud boat.'

'What...? What the hell are you talking about...?

"Your unique ability... to show that hallucination was a real pain in the ass. Besides, it went too well with him, so I applauded the annoyance. I never thought a contract would amplify each other's power. Whatever he is, fighting him in advance will have added to your troubles. For the first time only, or depending on how you do it, you may have killed the Demon King."

When a man looked at a boy who kept talking by himself with the kind of eyes he only saw strange things.

No, or... maybe I just didn't want to notice.

I've already...

'In that sense, it was a real shame that you left it to me. Because thanks to you, I was able to teach a variety of things and make them look at them. Well, it was a little hard to keep it down. I thought you were going to kill me for a while. Was it worth it? This is how it unfolded the way I wanted it to. Nevertheless, should I thank the Demon King for this? Because this is how you kept your promise properly. By making sure I can't resist without killing you in a critical place.'

'Eh... you, are you kidding me...!?

'No way, nothing... I think this is a prescribed route? You didn't think I wouldn't betray you, did you? In fact, I betrayed her. [M] Well, if that's the case, I don't have a choice. Oh, not this time, is it? Yes, of my own accord.'

Saying, the boy's hand extended to the man's head and grabbed it.

Until earlier, the man would have wondered if he would finally start treatment with it, whether it was now or not.

"You, don't... don't...!

'Hate and you have no reason to ask. There are many reasons not to ask. Do you mean, if you say you don't like it, why don't you just resist?

"Oh, you......!

The technique had already been lost from the man, even as he resisted.

There is no arm to release the slash, and that much power is not left to release the light bullet.

The last time I solved my best illusion was earlier.

'Not resisting means you don't hate it. That was fortunate. I didn't want to be forced to absorb my reluctant ex-companions. "

"You, stop -"

- Okay, I'll take it.

The moment I said it, the man's head blew up.

But soon, something that should have splashed to regenerate backwards gathers into the boy's hand and is absorbed into the boy's hand, but disappears as if.

You don't need that much time until everything disappears... the boy deepened his grin when he opened and closed his palms a few times to confirm something.

"Yeah, this looks okay"

To be honest, there was only a small amount of power left over from the man, so it was not sufficient as a replenishment of power.

But it's not the power itself that matters to the devil, it's the quality of power.

And now it's not just the man who absorbs it, it's the two of us, including her share.

If you fit yourself in, it's for three.

From what the boy was trying to do, it was enough.

'Well, shall I finally move, too? To fulfill my purpose. "

When he muttered so, the boy disappeared from the spot and went to the place where he intended.
