“The true Demon King, huh? I didn’t know there was another Demon King besides Vila.”
I slowly approached them.
“Hey, don’t come closer… or rather, who the hell are you…?”
“Is this guy not a human…?”
The demons seemed to finally realize.
“That’s right. I am Sion, the hero. I am currently under the protection of the Demon King,”
I moved even closer.
Carefully closing the distance so as not to agitate the demons too much.
I have only one chance.
I glanced briefly at Vila, who was standing behind me.
She subtly nodded with a barely noticeable movement, subtle enough for others not to notice.
“The hero?”
“Why is a hero in the Demon King’s Realm…?”
The demons looked increasingly puzzled.
“The humans tried to sacrifice my life to kill the Demon King.”
I smiled maliciously.
So, I decided it would be better to join the side of the Demon King. Fortunately, it seems that the Demon King values me. Being here allows me to gain some interesting advantages.”
“…Hmph, humans really are cunning.”
“Yes. That’s why I thought we could get along.”
I continued to smile sinisterly and took a step closer, then another.
“I told you not to come closer. You know? I could make this explode.”
“Eh? If it explodes at this distance, won’t you be involved in the curse as well?”
I extended my right hand forward.
I called upon the sacred sword, Faryaleid.
I stared at them intently.
As I spoke, I directed my gaze towards Vila behind me.
She nodded slightly.
Good, the preparation is ready!
“If you keep approaching… you will regret it!”
“Hmph… Such things can be easily disposed of!”
The demon raised the orb in his hand.
Was he planning to throw it out the window and make it explode?
“Let’s get out of here!”
The demon said as he threw the orb. At that moment,
“Faria!”
With a buzz, Faria appeared next to the demon, grabbing the orb that had been thrown in the air.
The demons did not recognize Faria’s presence.
So, Vila applied her invisibility magic to him and stealthily approached the demons.
And now they threw the orb, she managed to snatch it away.
“W-What is this?”
“Aaaaaah!”
I lunged towards the bewildered demons.
The fact that I could get close so quickly was proof that my skills had improved since the last time.
*Swing*
“Gah…!”
I took down one of the demons, leaving only one…
“Don’t kill him, capture him, Sion!”
“Understood!”
Yes, we needed to gather information about this “true Demon King” from him.
I approached the last demon and immobilized him.
“Bind!”
Vila quickly cast a restraining spell and captured him entirely.
