<h1 class="has-text-align-center">Episode 29: No damage even if taken hostage</h1>
“Don’t look down on demons! Right now, was just a small check. I’ll show you how I fight seriously”
Probably true.
No matter how I think about it, that cannot have been serious.
The demon took out something like a stone from its chest and swallowed it.
Immediately, its eyes begin to bleed and the muscles become hypertrophied.
“Human, what is your name?”
“… Yuki Matsuzaki?”
“Matsusaki Yuki … You have caused me to burn my life!”
The demon threw six fireballs at a speed incomparable to before and followed behind them.
It’s speed and power are certainly stronger.
But ——
Bam Bam Bam!
They collided with the barrier and scattered.\n
</ins>\n“Guhe!”
It was also a bad move to rush in.
Crashing into the barrier, the demons let out a pitiful voice.
“Did you think I wouldn’t do anything while you were powering up?”
In fact, when we got off Sui and jumped into the royal castle, the barrier couldn’t make it in time for the attack, so I parried it with my sword but I was able to build it while the demon was spending time strengthening.
If I didn’t have a such a card, I would have attacked with full force
Don’t you know that …?
“No! This is impossible … You’re human, and comparable to us demons … no, it’s even more than that…!?”
“Seeing is believing right?”
Now it’s my turn to attack.
I put strength into the hand holding Berserk.
“Damn it, damn it… if that’s the case!”
The demon grins.
It rushed toward King Cerbèr, grabbed his neck, and held him out to me.
“Gahaha! If you can’t do it with power, you use wisdom. That’s how we demons fight!”
“… I wonder what you mean?”\n</ins>\nTo grab that guy’s neck and push him out. …… What’s fighting style is this?
It just looks defenseless.
“No matter how strong you are, it will be difficult to fight while protecting someone. Hmm, Matsuzaki Yuki, if you attack me, this king will die. What will you do?”
Ah, I see.
He’s taking him hostage?
Certainly, it may be an effective method “normally”.
“You came to help the king! Then you can’t attack in a situation where the king might die! I win!”
Haha.
“What are you laughing at …? Do you still have something you can do?”
“No, there is no such thing”
“Right, so Kneel there. The king won’t die while I’m still alive.”
“Rejected”
“Huh!? Why !? Didn’t you come to help the king !?”
I approach the demon with speed strengthened by “God’s Blessing”.
“When did I say I came to help the king?”
“… What !?”
“You made a mistake choosing the hostage. If you chose Aleria, you might have won–no, you couldn’t. For me, if, Cerber dies It wouldn’t matter, whether he lives or dies there’s no damage. “
“Ku, shit!”
The demon flies away leaving Cerber
But it’s too late.\n</ins>\n“Guaaaaaaa!”
I pierced its heart with my sword.
With a lot of bleeding, the demon loses power.
“I didn’t think a human could have such a strong body and spirit … you’re probably invincible with nothing to protect … But I’m one of the weakest of the four heavenly kings …”
Four heavenly kings …? Does this mean that there are still three people? Well, I’m not surprised that he’s the weakest …
“… legion who respects Kerkas-sama …”
So you’re not one! So misleading.
“Well, it’s surprising that you could speak so long.”
I swing my sword and end the demon.
The last story was a little worrisome, but I couldn’t keep help hearing it because It couldn’t speak anymore. I don’t know if it’s worth listening to in the first place.
The demon has perished. With this, the monsters attacking the royal capital will leave. However, there is another problem left by the demons.
“Matsusaki Yuki … you saved me! Well, I didn’t think you’d help me …! I apologize for the rudeness I’ve shown thus far. Let’s me compensate you! I’ll give as much money as I can!”
Yes, King Cerber has survived.
The demons probably didn’t intend to kill Cerber at least while fighting me, from the beginning.
The hostage loses its function at the time of death. It’s the same reasoning that a robber keeps a hostage alive. Better yet, would have been nice if he died by some mistake.\n</ins>\n“I don’t want your apology or compensation, do you think I’ll receive the dirty money rolled up by heavy taxes?”
“Oh, I know you have a grudge against me! Anyone can make a mistake? At first, I didn’t the wise man was so strong! Forgive me.”
“I might have forgiven you before but Cerber. The biggest mistake you made was targeting Aleria. Knowing You planned for her I …… that’s it “
I had a good idea.
It’s an epoch-making ending where everything fits perfectly.
“Cerber, look forward to tomorrow.”
I threw Cerber into an underground prison and left the royal castle.\n
