Happy Reading~

===========

For a moment, this demon, he decided to stop continuing the sentence he was saying.

If he continued any further than this, the voice inside his head would not forgive him.

No matter what, this voice was none other than one of the 72 Demonic Pillars.

’Father… I understand. This child of yours will not disappoint you.’

Not long after, this demon, he decided to leave the place where the hero group was.

Unfortunately, before he could get away from the hero group.

Eric, he once again couldn’t stop himself from berating this demon.

“Why are you silent? Are you afraid? Could it be that you are a low-level demon? Little Demon?~”

*Grab!-*

“Heh~ So demons can feel emotions too?”

“Last warning, I want you to cover that foul mouth of yours. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to destroy your defenses.”

Still, initially Eric just wanted to play with this demon.

But really, he didn’t expect this demon to react like this.

If he had known this earlier, he might have been more careful in choosing the pronunciations he spoke.

But well, what he expected couldn’t possibly happen.

“Well… Since you say so, I understand. But don’t think I’m retreating from my place, you are a demon and I am a human. One day we will definitely be found again.”

“…You better remember, on the next battlefield I won’t be the same as now.”

Finally, the figure of this demon, suddenly floated from where he was.

For now, this demon’s plan is to return to the original place where he performed the ritual.

Don’t know what the reason is, but what is certain is that this demon is planning to get out of this place.

After all, among the demons on this island, he was the only one with a physical form.

If asked whether the demon named Vell is in physical form, the answer is yes.

But he is different, he is a Greater Devil.

That said, it was impossible for him to be killed in this place.

Think about it, he’s not like Vell, he’s a weak demon.

If he is killed, his soul will automatically be destroyed.

Normally, when a demon reached the Greater Demon stage, they no longer needed to fear being killed.

In essence, only those in the form of souls can destroy themselves.

For Greater Demon rank demons, something like a physical body was no longer necessary.

“Sigh- Thank goodness he’s gone. Otherwise, I don’t know what to do.” without realizing it, Eric, he couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.

It must be admitted, the pressure from this demon is no joke at all.

Maybe it’s true, they and this demon are not that different.

But what? Skill-wise, he believed this demon was far above them.

Just look, the barrier in front of them is slightly cracked.

But fortunately, Alicia, she quickly covered the gaps of these cracks.

Otherwise, he was afraid that this pass would be destroyed by the demons.

“Is it finished? You almost dragged us into your troubles. Can you be a little serious?” Eris asked, unable to help but feel irritated.

If it wasn’t for Alicia, they didn’t know whether they could have avoided fighting this demon or not.

In the worst case scenario, they would inevitably have to fight this demon to the death.

“Forgive me…”

“Never mind you two. We have to focus. Do you want Ash to lose in this place?”

“Of course not!”

“Therefore, let’s calm down first. That way-”

Suddenly, they heard an explosion right near them.

*BOOM!-*

A moment after this explosion disappeared, they saw Ash’s figure lying on the ground.

“Ash! What happened-”

Unfortunately, before the hero group could get close to Ash.

A demon named Vell, he suddenly appeared near Ash.

Not long after, Ash’s neck couldn’t be lifted up.

“You are a disaster for us, the demon race. Are you sure you are the hero?”

*Crack-*

“…”

“Why are you silent? Answer me… Hey, Hero!”

*Snatch-*

For some reason, judging by the way Ash was acting, things had turned a bit strange.

Just look, when Ash was about to take Vell’s hand, something unexpected happened.

“You talk a lot, damn demon…”

*Shring!-*

Within moments, Ash’s entire body, was suddenly enveloped in golden light.

“Ugh…! This is bad. I need to get away from this human.” don’t know what the reason is, but this time Vell felt a little bad feeling.

In reality, Vell’s current strength was not much different from the True Knight stage.

With that alone, it was enough to prove that he was very strong.

But why? Why did he have a bad feeling?

As if, the man in front of him, he was doing something big.

“He’s angry… Is he going to throw a tantrum again?” Eric asked, couldn’t help but ask about Ash’s condition.

Every time they were together, it was rare for him to see Ash serious.

And now, they saw Ash in the form of true hero strength.

If he used hero power, it would be impossible for Ash to lose to the Warrior stage.

*Slash!-*

Suddenly, the cliff behind them, without realizing it, split into two parts.

Because had no choice, Vell, he was forced to remember his words.

’This is the strength of a hero… Have I underestimated this human too much?’

Really, like it or not, he had to take back everything he said.

For now, he had to admit that the hero in front of him was not a weak hero.

“Well… The Demon Emperor’s prediction was correct. I have no choice but to exterminate you. Come here… Let me show you what the power of a Greater Demon is.”

*Fyush!-*

“Hah!!!”

In a split second, Vell’s entire body, involuntarily emitted various purple lights.

Just look, this purple light is enough to create a terrifying pressure around the area they are in.

Even Eric and the others, they couldn’t believe what was happening.

As this purple light disappeared, they could see Vell’s figure changing.

It could say, Vell’s current form looks like it is covered in Magic Armor.

But unlike humanity’s Magic Armor, this was a spiritual entity within them.

Purple eyes, something that endlessly continued to give off an unimaginable aura.

Followed by his hair, which continued to flow endlessly as if defying gravity.

“Come and fight me, human. You won’t be able to destroy me…”

*Bam!-*

For a moment, the people hiding in the surrounding forest, couldn’t help but fall where they were.

Just look, the expressions of all the students from class A, subconsciously showed their fear.

With this demon’s aura, it was enough to make them feel helpless.

“…” still, Ash, he didn’t care about what happened at all.

For Ash, what this demon did was something stupid.

“Hm? Do you think I don’t know? I’ve read your attack.”

It was true, in terms of experience, this demon, he was far above the Warriors.

But what? Ash, he couldn’t possibly be defeated in a place like this.

“Huh? You…”

*Buk!-*

Really, hero are still hero.

In the end, Ash’s strength continued to be improved endlessly.

If Ash was given more time, he wouldn’t need much effort to defeat this demon.

“Cuih-” but still, Vell, he wasn’t thrown from where he was at all.

In contrast, Vell, he only had a little blood coming out of his mouth.

“Good… I admit what I thought was wrong. Show me, show me whether you are worthy of being called a hero or not!”

*BOOM!-*

…

Far from the depths of the forest, where I am.

Without realizing it, I felt something unpleasant around where I was.

I felt, as if I smelled something like the smell of death.

*Thak!-*

“Who’s that?!” I asked, without showing the slightest panic on my face.

Deep in my heart, I want to know who this creature is.

For a moment, my gaze was subconsciously fixed somewhere.

“P-Please stop. I am a victim of that demon.”

“Eh? You’re… Fairy?” I don’t know why, but I felt so disbelieving of what I saw.

If I remember further, the Fairy race is the rarest race on this continent.

But why? Why would a creature like this appear on this island?

Supposedly, it was impossible for creatures of the Fairy race to enter the imperial territory.

“You’re smaller than I thought…” I commented, realizing the size of this creature was only the size of my index finger.

“Eh? Stop! Did I tell you to come closer?” for a moment, I couldn’t help but show my panic.

Even though he is from the Fairy race, do I need to lower my guard?

Of course not, right?

Just look, if see this fairy’s behavior, it’s enough to make me a little curious.

“Ah! Sorry! I don’t know what happened. I thought you were a good person. If it’s okay, can you tell me what your name is?”

“Name… You can call me Noah. Just Noah.”

“Noah… Alright. My name is Bellu Wood. I have been trapped by this demon named Vell for 100 years and couldn’t get out. And now, this is my chance to escape from this demon’s guard.”

“100 years? How old are you?” as if realizing what was happening, I actually asked about the age of this fairy.

If I could restrain myself, there would be no need for me to provoke this fairy.

“Age… Do you think I will tell you my real age?”

“Oh… No. I just misspoke. Forget what I said before.” because I didn’t know what else to do, I chose to forget what happened.
