"We are novice adventurers from Axel! Now—face the divine power of Purification!" Aqua declared, seeing the Headless Knight's hesitation.
She unleashed another blast of Purification magic.
"Aaahhh!" The Headless Knight scread in pain, rolling on the ground. But he didn't seem to be disintegrating.
Aqua took a step back, fear creeping into her eyes. "Roy, my Purification magic isn't working on him!" she exclaid.
"..."
Roy's eye twitched. The Headless Knight was writhing in pain, yet she claid it wasn't working?
Was she serious?
But he didn't say anything and simply chuckled. "Let handle this."
He handed the unconscious gumin to Darkness, then walked towards the Headless Knight.
Darkness, gumin, and Aqua watched expectantly, curious to see how he would defeat the Demon King General.
The Headless Knight stopped rolling around.
Regardless of whether his power was weakened or not, he was still a weakling in Roy's eyes.
"Hahaha, human, your magic is useless against ! Don't waste your energy!" the Headless Knight taunted, pretending to be unhard.
"You're quite brave to fight alone. Then, as a knight, I shall accept your duel! Don't underestimate . I was a great knight in my life!"
Roy couldn't help but laugh. This Demon King General was trying to trick him into a duel?
Fine.
"Don't worry, they won't interfere," Roy assured him, reaching the Headless Knight and swinging his Average sword.
"Hahaha, Human—your weak attacks are useless against !" the Headless Knight laughed, not even bothering to dodge.
He would take this attack head-on.
But just as the sword was about to hit him, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.
He tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Roy's sword sliced through him effortlessly.
Slice!
The Headless Knight, along with the head he was holding, was cleaved in two.
"H-how...." he gasped before vanishing into dust.
"A-Amazing..." Darkness and gumin stared at Roy in shock.
He had slain a Demon King General in a single strike using nothing but an ordinary sword!
"I knew I didn't choose the wrong person! Roy will definitely defeat the Demon King!" Aqua exclaid, throwing her arms around him in a hug.
She was overjoyed. Once Roy defeated the Demon King, she could return to being a goddess.
Roy wrapped his arms around her waist and patted her bottom, but she didn't react.
"Alright, now that the Demon King General and his monsters are gone, let's go loot the castle," Roy said with a grin.
"Yes, there must be lots of treasures inside," gumin agreed, having recovered so of her magical energy and striking a dramatic pose.
Aqua, the greedy goddess, was the most excited.
"Let's go then!" she exclaid, struggling to break free from Roy's embrace.
But she couldn't escape his grasp.
And she didn't even seem to mind being groped. As expected of the useless goddess.
Roy chuckled inwardly.
Taking advantage of a goddess, even a useless one, was still quite satisfying.
"Let's go find so treasure!" Roy declared, leading the way towards the castle!!
The castle was massive, but since the Demon King General had only recently moved in, there wasn't much treasure inside.
Even so, they still found valuables worth over a hundred million Eris.
If the castle hadn't been occupied by monsters, Roy might have even considered making it their new ho.
But he wasn't short on money now. He would find a suitable place later.
They couldn't carry all the treasure with them, so they decided to return to the Adventurer's Guild and let them handle it.
——
By the ti they returned to Axel, it was already evening.
"Roy-sama, you're finally back!" Luna exclaid, her worried expression replaced by relief as she saw Roy.
She rushed over to him.
"Don't worry, the quest is complete," Roy reassured her with a smile.
"Even if you didn't complete it... What? It's complete?" Luna's eyes widened in surprise.
"Roy-sama, are you saying that you defeated the Demon King General?" she asked cautiously.
"Of course. If you don't believe , send soone to check the castle," Roy said with a shrug and a grin.
"No, no, I believe you..." Luna quickly explained.
But Roy interrupted her.
"No need to explain. Just prepare a feast for us. And have soone go to the castle and collect the valuables. They're our spoils of war," he instructed.
Luna nodded.
"Yes, Roy-sama, I'll arrange it right away."
She didn't question him any further and imdiately went to make the arrangents.
Roy was pleased with her efficiency.
——
After enjoying a delicious al, Luna returned, her face filled with excitent and shock.
"Roy-sama, we've confird that the Demon King General has indeed been defeated. The treasures in the castle have also been accounted for. The total value is two hundred million Eris. And with the reward for defeating the Demon King General, that's a total of five hundred million Eris!" she reported.
"What about the castle, Roy-sama? What would you like us to do with it?"
"Five hundred million Eris?!" Aqua squealed in delight.
She hadn't received much from the cabbage harvest since Roy had captured them all himself.
But this ti, she had contributed significantly. She deserved a share of the reward.
"As for the castle, do whatever you want with it," Roy said with a dismissive wave of his hand.
He didn't care about money. He had taken on the quest for the experience and to deepen his bonds with the girls.
"Yes, Roy-sama. I'll handle it," Luna replied and left to attend to her duties. She was quite busy now that the Demon King General was gone.
——
The news of their victory spread quickly through the Guild hall.
The other adventurers looked at them with a mixture of awe and envy.
"They're amazing!"
"They actually defeated a Demon King General!"
"Aren't they novice adventurers? How are they so strong?"
"You haven't heard? Roy-sama is the powerful mage who single-handedly captured all the cabbages."
"No, he's a swordsman, isn't he?"
——
Roy and the others ignored the gossip and enjoyed their after-dinner tea.
Now that the Demon King General was gone, they could finally take on so normal quests.
——
The next day, at the quest board...
"Roy! Roy! Let's take this quest to subjugate the White Wolves! The reward is one million Eris! And just imagine being ravaged by those wolves... It would be so blissful!" Darkness exclaid, her face flushed with excitent.
Roy sighed at her masochistic fantasies.
"Roy! Roy! How about this one?" gumin asked, tugging on his arm and pointing at a quest to defeat a one-hit bear.
"Let's see who can deliver the stronger blow, my Explosion or that bear's!" she declared with a dramatic pose.
"This quest to subjugate the Snow Sprites is good too! Ten thousand Eris per Snow Sprites!" Aqua chid in.
The three girls looked at Roy expectantly.
"Hmm... then let's take all three!" Roy declared.
After all, these quests were child's play for him.
"No problem!" the girls replied in unison.
——
They made so preparations and set off to hunt the White Wolves.
These wolves were stronger than the demon wolves they had faced before.
But Roy and the girls were also stronger now.
They had all reached level twenty or higher after defeating the Demon King General.
gumin's Explosion magic was also much more powerful now.
The quest to subjugate the White Wolves was a breeze. gumin's Explosion wiped out most of the pack, and Roy and Darkness finished off the rest.
They completed the quest in less than a day.
They then moved on to the next quest: defeating the one-hit bear.
The bear was massive, but since gumin had already used Explosion, Roy had to deal with it himself.
After easily completing the first two quests, they returned to the Adventurer's Guild.
The next day, they set off to complete the third quest: subjugating the Snow Sprites.
Bundled up in warm clothes, they arrived at a snow-covered region.
The air was filled with snowflakes, and small, fist-sized snowballs were flying around. These were the Snow Sprites.
"It's said that defeating a Snow Sprites brings spring closer," Darkness explained.
"This place is quite beautiful," Roy comnted, admiring the scenery.
The snow-covered landscape and the dancing snow spirits were indeed a sight to behold.
But they had a quest to complete.
"gumin, use Explosion to wipe them out," Roy instructed.
"Okay!"
gumin nodded and began her chuunibyou-esque chant.
But perhaps due to the cold, she cut it short and unleashed her Explosion magic.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!
The earth shook violently, and a large crater appeared where the Snow Sprites had been concentrated.
Countless Snow Sprites were instantly vaporized.
