The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero

Book 10: Chapter 7

Thus, a ray of hope was fired. Fufufu, the Staff Demon did a good job.

Dimensional Castle Avaldia. Within its Throne Room, the Alva Queen laughed.

The brilliance of Ratil Rail entirely destroyed Elarcs enemies, and undoubtedly brought about peace.

Most likely, if given a bit more time, a declaration of the end of the war would be made.

The end of the civil war should give comfort and joy to the fatigued citizens.

There was no one in the current Elarc that would obstruct that.

And so, let us thrust them down into hell. Come on, come on! Lets go to the party with everyone! Lets offer a bouquet of despair to the banquet of joy! And then, utter chaos to the world! Anyone and everyone should be suspicious and go crazy against one another!

Ha, our new Demon King-sama is going mad.

Isnt it the same as usual? Itll be fine if we just do things as needed.

While watching the dancing Alva Queen, the Sword Demon and the Bow Demon whispered to each other.

The Staff Demon had perished due to Ratil Rail, and the Spear Demons whereabouts were unknown.

Their new master was insanity itself that desired the disorder and chaos of mankinds society, and their new companions were creepy organisms that could fuse with other living creatures and take control of them. 

Thats right, even from their eyes, the Alva were abnormal. Although there were some that had intelligence, there were actually much more that didnt. However, even those lacking intelligence would obtain intelligence by taking over their opponent.

The Alva, who seemed as if they were created with that as their objective to begin with, split the Canal Kingdom in two by following that design, and caused a large-scale civil war.

But, no one knew how doing that would connect to the Alva Queens benefit.

The Staff Demon seemed to have schemed world domination in a similar manner in the time of the previous Demon King butthe Alva Queen showed no indication of that sort of thing.

No, rather, she acted as if to say that the world should just be destroyed.

The number of Alva that gathered to attack Elarc continued to increase, and they only awaited the Alva Queens latest order.

No matter how many Alva vanished, as long as they had the Alva Queen, new ones would be born.

Even for the Mazoku that werent Alva, since they would be able to revive if given enough time, like the Sword Demon and the Bow Demon, the Staff Demon would surely revive as well if given some time, and their former master was no exception.

The Elarc attack, just as the Alva Queen had said, was nothing more than a party.

The advantage would grow the more time had passedsince that is how the Alva did things.

When the dancing Alva Queen brought her moves to a complete stop, she turned her gaze to the outside.

It was the moment that the Sword Demon and Bow Demon corrected their postures thinking that the order had finally come.

What was spun out from the Alva Queens mouthwas not an order, but words of bewilderment.

The Alva are vanishing? Why, no, who? Who has come into this Dimensional Gap?

Hearing those words, the Sword Demon and the Bow Demon also reacted.

Ha!? C, could it be an enemyIs it him, is it the Demon King! Could it be that hes attacking!

Theres no way that could happen! Entering the Dimensional Gap is completely different from something like Continental Movement, you know!?

I am terribly sorry to not meet your expectations but.

As if to interrupt their conversation. Or, as if to cut up the tumult.

While making footsteps that went *katsun katsun*, a single man appeared.

He had slightly long black hair that wasnt arranged in any way.

His somewhat long facial hair made the mans appearance look somewhat aged, but at the same time, it also gave him a dignified atmosphere.

His black eyes had a somewhat philosophic look, and had a mysterious feeling that didnt make it clear on whether he was looking at the other party or not.

The armor that he wore was ancient-looking, yet it was an article that emitted an unusual amount of magical power.

That man, who held a two-handed sword with a pitch-black sword blade, had black hair but was not Vermudol.

Who might you be. Are you the one who killed my Alva?

In response to the Alva Queens question, the man made a small laugh with a Hmph.

Dont mind the small things. Next is you all.

While saying that, the man slowly moved his sword.

WIth just that loose movement, he defended against the Sword Demons attack that closed the distance with a speed that couldnt be caught with the naked eye.

YouI dont really get it, but you piss me off. Your atmosphere is the same as that shitty Demon King, aint it.

You areIf I remember correctly, the Sword Demon, werent you. That damned Philia, did she bring out even things like this?

Ahh? Why is the God of Lifes name coming out here?

Even as their swords continued to be locked and making a *giri giri* sound, the mans expression was the image of tranquility itself.

His eyes that didnt reflect his emotions gazed into the depths of the Sword Demons hollow helmet, however, a faint look of pity dwelled within them.

So you know nothing. Manipulated by Philia, then to have those strings cutas things are now, youre just a puppet thats been abandoned.

Spouting out things that I dont get. It seems that you really want to die.

The Sword Demon is a swordsman killer. What he wore was not simply armor, and if carelessness was induced from being brought into a sword lock, countless blades would shoot out from his armor and he would be able to pierce his opponent.

Just like how he killed the Maid Knight that was among the Heros companions in the past, this man would fall as well.

Its unfortunate but. The one to die is you.

Ah?

When he realized it, there was something that looked like a black puddle that was made at the Sword Demons feet.

It was a mysterious puddle that didnt make a sound nor splash water.

NoRather than water, it seemed like darkness had collected.

The instant the Sword Demon had that sort of thought.

The Sword Demons body was brought into the stretched out darknessand just like that, he was swallowed and vanished into nothing.

Darkness Magic!? YouI dont know anyone like you!? I didnt hear that there was a guy like you in the Mazoku country!

The Bow Demon huh.

With just a swing of his sword, the man intercepted the countless magical power arrows that were fired from the Bow Demon.

To bring down the Bow Demons arrows, which could pierce through a Human along with their shield in a single attack, with a sword, that man wasnt normal.

In that case, this man wasnt Human.

A Mazoku, or a Majin. But, there werent any reports saying that there was a Majin like this in the Zadark Kingdom. 

There were reports regarding guys like the ones called the Cardinal Generals.

However, this man wasnt one of them.

I have an understanding of the immortality that you all have. Youre all special Mazoku that manifest half magical power bodies with weapons as the main body. Therefore, as long as the weapon itself is not destroyed, you can revive over and overbut.

Dont come nearDont come near me!

What was fired from the Bow Demon, was an intense attack that resembled Fainells Voltenix.

However, that was also cut up and extinguished by the mans sword.

Sorry. Against foes like you all, Darkness Magic, which attacks magical power itself, is extraordinarily compatible.

Going *zoburi*.

The darkness that rose up swallowed the Bow Demon and vanished.

How overwhelming. Its like youre a God.

Its because I am a God. The one called the God of Darkness Dagulas. But, you dont really need to remember that.

The Alva Queen, who stood in front of her throne, and Dagulas glared at each otherAnd the Alva Queen who was staring at that Dagulas expressed a smile filled with affection.

I see, the God of Darkness. I know about you. Youre the pitiful God that had the race that he protected taken from him due to Philia. Isnt that right?

Youre well informed.

Thats right, thanks to Philias blunder in the past, the Elements, who the God of Darkness Dagulas protected, had perished from the world.

Philias plan of creating a small enemy in order to let mankind let out some steam before they committed a fatal mistake had lead to the destruction of the Elements due to her being unable to see through the degree that mankinds recklessness was at.

The Demon King that Philia sent in that had been born ever since then was an outside enemy that Philia created as her own way of reflecting on it, and was an existence only meant to be destroyed by mankind.

By having mankind band together to defeat that which brought about chaos to the world, it would convey the foolishness of fellow members of mankind quarreling and disputing against each otherThat was Philias aim, and the true nature of the system known as the Demon King and the Hero, as well as the Holy Sword that was completed by going around the world.

To Dagulas, he didnt care about something like that butFor the time being, he lent only his power.

As a result of that, he was surprised at how the Hero that Philia had prepared had defeated not only the Demon King Shuklous that Philia had created, but even Gramfia who was the real Demon King of that time, butafter following things a bit, he immediately understood that Philia had lead the Hero to that.

Like that, peace was restored in the world, and just as Philia calculated, mankind formed a bond.

However, that bond unravelled as time passed, and once again, discord was created within mankind, and even a new Demon King was birthed.

Feeling a sense of impending crisis from that, what Philia prepared this time was the Alva Queen.

However, it seemed that this Alva Queen had surpassed Philias calculations and went too far.

Most likely, Philia intended for her to bring about some chaos to mankind, and using the Mazoku called Alva, which could possess people, as a common enemy, it would lead the people to unify.

Even the nonsense called the Demi-Human Argument that was born from within mankind, it would be fine if the responsibility of it was pushed onto the Alva and buried as evil.

And then, after the Alva Queen was buried, she should have been thinking that she wanted the true Demon King to perish to the newly prepared Hero. Of course, it seemed that Philia had directly sent assassins as well though.

However, going by the results, her plans were off the mark.

The Hero that Philia called feared that power, sealed it away on his own, and lived as a normal Human.

And during that time, the Alva Queen strengthened her power, and deviated from the mission that Philia had established for her.

The Alva Queen, who dropped all of mankind into a sea of disorder through suspicion and schemed to toy with them, could no longer become a sacrifice meant to amend mankind.

On the other hand, even Philias other aim of the erasure of Demon King Vermudol, after looking at the current world situation, it became impossible to overlook that.

Therefore, Dagulas came.

Settling on the fact that the Canal Kingdoms chaos would be dangerous in the hands of the people living in the world, even Raidolg moved to match up with that.

An intervention of the Gods was already unavoidable.

Philias plan had completely failedThat was the conclusion of all of the Gods.

Hey, why are you allied with Philiawith mankind? Dont you hate them? You should destroy them together with me. If you come together with me, you can see the spectacle of them suspecting and destroying each other, you know?

Not interested.

He didnt know how the other Gods felt, but Dagulas already had no interest in mankind.

Ever since the day the Elements died, the only thing that could move Dagulass body was his sense of duty as a God.

If anything, right now, he had an interest in the Mazoku more than mankind butat any rate, he didnt have any reason whatsoever to side with the Alva Queen.

I see. Then I dont need you. Ill kill you thenlets see, Ill put some random Alva in you.

No, that is impossible.

Darkness rose up from Dagulass feet.

It took the figure of what looked like black knights, and they flew towards what was at the end of where Dagulass sword was pointed at, towards the Alva Queen.

As for why, it is because you will die.

Ahaha, thats unlikely! Since Im going to kill you!

Countless Alva gushed forth from the Alva Queens body, and flew to intercept the knights of darkness that Dagulas sent out.

The knights of darkness and the Alva collided, and they annihilated each other.

Creating a black halberd from empty space, the Alva Queen attacked Dagulas who had a sword in his hand.

This is perfect! Before I kill Philia, I will kill you andlets see. It might be good to throw you at Philia to fight!

I see. It does seem like it would be fun to do something about that woman though.

Dagulass sword cut up the Alva Queens halberd.

But still, it really is impossible for you.

And then.

Dagulass sword was driven very deeply into the Alva Queenand encroached darkness into her body.

Ah, ah, ahh

Farewell. O pitiful one. About Philia, I shall hate her enough for your portion as well.

After he lightly swung his sword in place of a funeral in the place that the Alva Queen was swallowed into the darkness as if melting into it, Dagulas turned around and left the Throne Room.

There were still Alva left in the Dimensional Gap. Cleaning those up was Dagulass next job.
