“Why….how did this happen…”
Blonde haired hero inside the Cryload castle’s treasury showed a depressive expression as he stared at the treasury’s door.
“Blonde Haired Hero-dono we know you are in there. I wish for you to give in without having any resistance and follow us to the First Imperial Princess’s place.”
Guards and knights of sorts of from the castle flooded the gateway to the treasury. The sound of knocking and the attempts to lure out the Blonde Haired Hero resonated around the room.
Fortune in this misfortune for the Blonde Haired Hero was that the castle’s treasury is also used as an emergency evacuation shelter so you can lock the door from the inside and the door is made of a powerful material.
He who entered without obtaining any permission, and unsealed the sealed Devil, the one who rules over light and darkness, knows that the people outside won’t forgive him that easily, so he couldn’t help but stand there staring dumbly at the wall.
….Why….
My plan was perfect….
Where did my plan go wrong….I was supposed to become the savior of the world, after burrowing the power of the devil to kill that hateful Aapsho….now Furio and kill the demon lord.
It’s already been a few days since the devil left, and the devil still hadn’t delivered a message of the completion of subjugation on Furio. Even the black ring which was supposed to act as a compensation for the work disappeared.
Is it that man….was even able to defeat the devil….
Blonde haired hero’s mind was in chaos as he thought more and more, however, he wasn’t able to make any decisive decision as he played with his thoughts which made it more chaotic.
….Why….I was supposed to be chosen as a Hero…
But no matter how much I level up, my stats didn’t increase a bit from the early stage…. And with this stats at best I can kill A ranked beast with difficulty but….How can this compare to the Demon lord…. That’s why I gave him a chance to become my subordinate….that Furio man, he denied it while having a powerful ability…..It was a request from me the Hero!? The castle people are not much better, why didn’t they tell me when they had such thing as the devil’s power. And because they didn’t explain it to me properly this kind of situation happened. It’s you all’s fault…I’m not in the fault…. It’s all you all’s fault..I’ve done nothing wrong…If they just gave me the power…
That moment,
Inside the Blonde Haired Hero’s mind, a pitch black voice flooded inside
“Do you want power?”
…who are you?
“Such an information is not important. If you really want a power I can help you”
…Are you giving me power?
“Yes, A power strong enough to dominate everyone”
…price, what are your demand?
“Ara? I don’t need such thing…but if you insist, I would want you to completely obliterate the castle and kill every magician in the castle, and you can do whatever you want afterwards”
….I understand, I shall answer your wish. So give me the power now!
“Fufu…contract is made”
“Blo….Blonde Haired hero-sama?”
Even though every woman who came with the Blonde Haired hero ran away, Allure who stayed, saw Blonde Haired hero who was mumbling something to himself suddenly laughed wildly so she got surprised and asked
And inside the head of Allure
“Oh, there was such a perfect sacrifice here. I will burrow your body”
Suddenly, when she though a pitch black though was sent inside her head, in an instant her head was painted black as Allure’s conscious faded.
“Fuu….It’s been hundreds of years since I gained a physical body”
The one who took over the Allure’s body looked at Blonde Haired hero as if she was looking at a dumb mutt.
“Come, Let’s go, My Tamed Beast . Blonde Haired hero. Destroy this castle together. I Dark grand Magician Marisa shall bestow punishment for putting me into a confinement. ”
Toward the word from Allure who’s being controlled by Marissa, Blonde Haired Hero answered with a roar.
That appearance was no longer that of human, As his head is a goat with a blonde hair, the body that of a bear, a tail made of Orochi, he became a large magic beast.
………The First imperial princess despaired hearing the news.
“This time…Marissa….revived….”
Dark Grand Magician Marissa
She once reigned as the strongest magician in the world.
But because of her greed for power, she lost to the Demon’s temptation, she fell to the dark side. She whose power gone out of control, using the lives of all the magicians in the country to seal her in sealed stone, and placed her in the same place as the Devil’s sealed room, and was supposed to be stored in the most guarded place.
“Most likely…because of the Devil’s revival, the seal got weakened…”
The First imperial princess who was thinking thoughtfully, however
“First Imperial Princess sama, please escape from here as quick as possible! Marissa is heading toward this direction while destroying the castle.”
Hearing the guard’s word, First imperial Princess stood up from the seat and left the throne room.
…A few moments later
“..this place is?”
The First Imperial Princess who teleported here with a few guards and magicians looked around while feeling anxious.
“..It seems like the teleportation led us to this Houtarou town”
Listening to the Magician’s report, First imperial Princess looked around.
“For now, let’s enter the town. This place stands out too much”
Persuaded by the Guards, the party heads into the town.
“Found ya”
Inside of the party’s brain, a pitch black telepathy flooded in.
“I won’t let any survivors of the castle from running away”
In the sky, a ripple started forming and from there a Blonde haired hero who turned into a beast appeared with a Marissa on top of him.
“Now, you people, hand over your lives”
Saying so Marissa laughed hysterically.
“…you’re blocking the way”
To her surprise, a male’s voice was heard from behind the First imperial princess.
At the same time, the ripple in the air closed and Marissa and Blonde haired hero disappeared into the air.
“Lys, where should we go eat after we finish the business?”
“A food is nice but….I want to go to the inn for a rest”
Saying so the woman’s face turned bright red and looked at the man.
And in front of such glance
“I guess…A little alright?”
Saying so the man while laughing looked at the first imperial princess who couldn’t comprehend what was happening and
“Aa, Good Afternoon”
Greeted nonchalantly as he entered the town.
