Part 3
The Fort Bridge Ulg had a visage of two box-shaped buildings linked together with stone arches. At a sudden look, it resembled a castle gate.
Those box-shaped buildings were spacious, and many of the guards usually lived there.
However, right now, because they readied their equipnt and ca down to the first floor, it was cramped.
The soldiers thought of their hotowns, encouraged themselves, shed tears over their nearing deaths......In front of the opponent they felt hopeless against, they showed the manifestation of various emotions.
Since Shera had handed the Grape Wine over to Boris, the quest was already achieved.
It would be fine if they just went back to town but......
——If I leave things as they are now, this place will probably be annihilated.
And then, before long, the Demonic Beings will probably invade up until the town.
It was a strange story.
Faltra City had a barrier. Even if the Demonic Beings were to attack, if the gates are closed, they shouldn’t be able to enter.
Would the Demonic Beings assemble more than a hundred-sothing beings for the sake of a aningless expedition?
Next to him, Shera was trembling.
「Diablo, have you seen a Demonic Being before?」
「Naturally.」
「You are a Demon King after all!」
「Well, pretty much......」
「Are they strong?」
「If it’s one-to-one, it wouldn’t be a problem but......Just in case, there’s sothing I want to confirm. ——In this world, existences that harm the races are called Monsters, right?」
「Yup. Like wild animals that attack people, and also Demonic Beings and Demonic Beasts.」
「Putting Demonic Beasts aside for now, the ones called Demonic Beings have appearances similar to the races but are completely different living things. Is that correct?」
For sothing like this, as expected of the royalty of the Elves, it seed that Shera also knew about this very well.
「That’s right, the Demonic Beings are the Demon King’s kin. And then, the Races are the Divine Beings’ descendants. That’s why they say we’re completely different living things. The current Demonic Beings seem to moving around doing this and that in order to revive the Demon King.」
「Fumu......」
So that much is the sa as the ga.
In that case, it’s very likely that the Demonic Beings’ aim is Rem.
Just where did the secret leak out from?
Or maybe, did they perceive the magical power?
Like sensing not specifically Rem herself, but the fact that the Demon King Krebskrem’s soul was in Faltra City. It might be to that degree.
He needed to be careful so as not to carelessly reveal her information.
——Still, a hundred-sothing of them, huh. Even if I’m level 150, it’ll be tough if I fight them squarely.
Should he just hurry up and return to town?
After all, the Demonic Beings can’t enter the town.
Boris, who had left holding the Grape Wine that was a refreshnt from the Magician’s Guild, ca back holding a letter for so reason.
「Um, here! It’s a reply of gratitude. I believe it will be proof we received it.」
「Are you normal? Even though a hundred-sothing Demonic Beings are coming at any mont, you’re giving thanks for the Grape Wine?」
「Haha......You’re right. You might say that I’m not feeling nervous but......If today is going to be my last day, I believe that I want to live it properly.」
「Fumu.」
「Diablo-san, please have your group hurry and go back to town.」
「Are you people not going to withdraw? If you’re in Faltra, since there’s the barrier, wouldn’t the Demonic Beings not be able to enter?」
「No, if we were to withdraw, the field workers outside of the town and the slow-footed travellers would probably be troubled......Buying ti so that everyone can escape into the town is our job.」
So those guards were preparing to fight with those feelings.
Shera was moved to tears.
「Diablo......Can’t you do sothing?」
——I guess I can’t help it.
With 《The Staff of Tenma》, *Kashin!*, he struck the stone pavent.
「Youngster, it’s unfortunate but your resolution will beco useless. After all, today will not be your last!」
「Eh!? Wh, what are you......Diablo-san?」
And then, Demonic Beings appeared.
The guards of Fort Bridge Ulg raised voices that resembled screams.
Diablo turned his eyes to the point across the stone bridge.
There was a black group.
They were calmly approaching.
That lot was a group that possessed features that were in so respects similar to beasts.
For example, so would have faces like that of an ox.
So would have hooves in place of hands.
So would be unbelievably huge.
So would have a skin color that was dark blue.
That group, despite all of them having disconnected appearances, they shared the common point of having an atypical appearance.
Would the one at the lead be the commander?
It looked like a knight that had his whole body fortified with pitch black armor. In its hand, it held a large, cone-shaped jousting lance.
It was riding alone on a Demonic Beast. It was a Demonic Beast that resembled a dragon whose size was about that of a horse.
——So it’s a Dragon Knight.
In the ga, there seed to be unique tamable Demonic Beasts that even Players could ride.
Since Diablo didn’t reach out to the Mount skill, he didn’t have experience with it, but it was said that among the Players, there were so that rode Wyverns.
There wasn’t a ti where he didn’t think that he wanted to try riding one at least once.
——For the ti being, right now, I need to overco this situation.
Since he unintentionally said sothing great, there’s no way he could just escape now.
The Demonic Beings had drawn close enough that they were at a distance that bows and arrows could reach them.
The guards of Fort Bridge Ulg, ineptly fired arrows.
However, it looked like those arrows didn’t give any damage to the Demonic Beings.
「Guooohhhhh!」
The Demonic Beings howled.
As a counterattack, they hurled fireballs.
An explosion occurred.
A portion of Fort Bridge Ulg collapsed from the enemy’s attack.
The guards that nocked their bows and arrows tried to get out of the way before they would get caught up in it but......
Diablo said this to Shera.
「You stay here. If you’re nearby, it will be hard to use my magic.」
「G, got it! Um......!」
「What is it?」
「Diablo, be careful out there.」
Sothing like being worried about by soone right before heading out to battle, this was a first for him.
Mysteriously enough, his chest beca hot.
His face had beco hot and he couldn’t even reply to her.
He turned his back to her.
Right now, he felt like he wouldn’t lose even to the Demon King.
