Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~ Chapter 138.1: Gods of Nargol

Dark Knight; Kuroki

I walked along the corridor of the Demon Kings castle, led by a court lady from the Empusa race.

The corridor was huge, enough for a giant to walk in.

Maybe this corridor was made while taking into consideration giant-sized creatures.

Anyhow, Modes did have so friends whose height surpassed ten ters.

That might be the real reason why the corridor was made so big.

Finally, we arrived in front of a huge gate.

That gate was also made in accordance with a giant's size.

Co in, Your Excellency. His Majesty is waiting inside.

The Empusa court lady opened the gate and bowed at while showing the way to go in.

Naturally, on the other side of the door was also an extrely spacious hall, possibly the biggest room in the Demon Kings castle.

The hall was really bright thanks to the multi-coloured gems inside.

I walked into that spacious hall.

Welco, Kuroki. Now everyone is finally present.

Demon King Modes greeted as soon as I entered the hall.

Other than Modes, there was the leader of the Chivalric Order of Dark Knights Runfeld, the Blacksmith God Heibos, the Archwitch Heqat, and pri minister Loughas.

There were other grotesque-looking people too.

Those grotesque-looking people were of a divine race. They were the Gods of Nargol who allied themselves with Demon King Modes.

The eting of the Gods was about to begin.

That's why there was only the divine race in this hall, or those with a power that rivaled that of the divine race.

That's why Heibos who affiliated himself with both Nargol and Elios was also attending this eting.

Runfeld wasn't a mber of the divine race but he had power comparable to that of the divine race.

And these people were mbers of the divine race but they were more considered as Modes' comrades.

Except for Loughas, everyone wasn't Modes' subordinate.

That's why Modes couldn't order them either.

Heqat was a pri example of that. Being his nanny, Modes could never bring himself to order Heqat.

Modes was only the leader of the alliance, he had no control over them, the only thing he could do was call them for a eting.

This seems to be the sa case as Elios, Oudith only led Elios but he had no full authority over it.

Long ti no see~, master Kuroki!

A short ti later, Polen, the princess of Nargol, rushed at as soon as she entered the hall.

It seems she has yet to master her transformation ability.

Long ti no see, Your Highness. Are you going to attend the eting too?

Yes, master. Dear Father said that it's about the ti for to attend the eting, he also said that I can co as the representative of Dear Mother.

Co to think of it, I didn't see Mona's figure in this hall.

It seems she didn't attend this eting.

Well, I think I could understand the reason though.

Polen was looking around restlessly as if looking for soone who might be hiding around .

Master, is Kuna-shishou not going to attend this eting?

Asked Polen while cocking her head.

Yeah, Kuna won't co.

Kuna was also considered a part of the divine race who belonged to Nargol.

aning that she could attend this eting too.

But, maybe because she didn't feel like it, she chose to stay in the sweet castle.

I see. Too bad. It's been quite a while since Ive seen her after all.

Said Polen with a rather dejected voice.

For so reason, Polen held Kuna in high regard. Alas, Kuna didnt seem to care about that.

Not that I could tell Polen about that fact.

While I was talking to Polen, a giant figure suddenly cast a shadow upon .

When I looked up, there was a figure of a giant rman over six ters tall.

That rman was fat and his belly was protruding.

The rman was laughing while looking down at us.

This is our second eting, Dark Knight. Do you rember ? I'm Draugon.

The Sea God Draugon.

That was the na of the giant rman before . And yes, this was our second eting.

He was one of Modes' friends.

Draugon was looking at us while scratching his stomach.

He didnt live in Nargol, he lived in the Saird inlet, in the far west.

It seems he ca all the way to Nargol to attend the eting.

And then, Draugon also started looking around as if trying to find soone hiding nearby.

What's wrong I wonder?

Yes, long ti no see Draugon-dono. Is sothing the matter? Why are you looking around too?

Well, I was just wondering where the beauty that always cos with you is.

I see, so the real reason he ca to greet was to see Kuna.

A~h. I see Kuna can't co this ti.

Hearing that, Draugon looked up while covering his face with his hand.

Kuha~! I see! Too bad then! Mona isn't attending the eting too! There's not enough flowers here!

Said Draugon with a dejected voice.

Polen was glaring at him from the side.

I'm surprised to see that most male Gods were also making the sa dejected face as Draugon.

In fact, these male Gods were the main reason why Kuna didn't want to attend the eting. The sa reason might be applied to Mona.

But of course, not that I could tell them about this matter.

That's a rude statent, Draugon-sama. If you're talking about flowers, there's Heqat-sama and .

The Empusa court lady interrupted us upon hearing our conversation.

The Empusa empress, otherwise known as Enshema, was none other than this chief court lady, who was also the subordinate of the Archwitch Heqat.

Though she wasn't exactly a mber of the divine race, she attended the eting with the sa reason as Runfeld.

Eh? Ah, you're right. My bad, lady Enshema.

Draugon's attitude suddenly turned 180.

No matter how I looked at it, he was clearly glossing over it.

Though Enshema did appear to be a beautiful woman, I heard that her real form was that of a bronze legged, giant female praying mantis.

I had yet to see her real appearance, but I guess it was truly terrifying.

Despite calling herself a flower, her thorns contained extrely deadly poison.

But still, most Gods here were male.

To begin with, the Goddesses who affiliated themselves with Modes were already small in number.

In fact, Gypseal's side had a lot more Goddesses than Nargol.

Well that matter aside, the only won who attended this eting were Polen, Heqat, and Enshema.

There was also the Goddess of the valley, Mumy, the daughter of the Goddess of Mountains and the God of Trolls.

Mumy was the Goddess who was revered by the trolls, she was called the green lady due to the moss that covered her body.

She was truly a gentle lady, and many of her troll subordinates were gentle by nature.

Well, not that I care about it though.

Enshema turned around as she spoke as if she wasn't interested in the first place.

Seeing her attitude, I guess she only wanted to tease Draugon and wasn't really angry about his statent.

According to Polen, Enshema seems to like pretty boys.

Which then reminded that Draugon, who looked like a middle aged man with a beer-belly was definitely not her type.

That matter aside, I guess everyone has already co. Let's start the eting. Is that fine with you, Your Excellency, Your Highness?

Polen and I nodded at Enshema.

Since the Gods who participated in the eting were of various sizes, there was no particular seat arrangent.

That's why they either sat on the floor or stood where they were.

I stood along with Polen.

Well then, it seems everyone has arrived. Now let's start the eting. Today's agenda is the topic that everyone is already aware of, the matter of Zarxis who regained his power. Enshema, tell everyone about the latest information known about Zarxis.

The other Gods gasped when they heard their leader, Modes' statent.

I guess that's just how infamous Zarxis was in the past.

Enshema stepped forward.

Yes Your Majesty. That reaper is currently in the Ruvania region. Maybe he's going to return to Modegal, his own capital. What should we do about him?

Enshema looked around as she spoke.

So of the Gods had their own personal residence.

For example, Labrys with his labyrinth city Labyrinthos, Sekhtra with her golden city Arnak.

And according to what I heard, the city of death, Modegal, was Zarxis' residence.

It seems that he deliberately didn't go back to his capital after he survived, he only returned after he regained his power back.

Ruvania? That region was originally ruled by Zarxis. Nothing strange about him going back there.

Said Loughas while combing his beard.

To be honest, I've never heard about the Ruvania region. Maybe I should do so research about that place later.

The possibility is quite high indeed. So, what are we going to do?

Said Modes while pondering by himself.

Zarxis and Modes were mortal enemies.

In the first place, the reason why Zarxis lost his power was because he lost in a fight against Modes.

Now that he regained his power, he might try to get his revenge on Modes.

Alas, since his whereabouts was already known, it ans that we could ambush him.
