XXVIII.

The knight, whose face had doubled in size and was swollen only on one side, looking red and blue and deformed, checked the things surrounding him and dropped his body like a trembling aspen tree.

As soon as that stupid knight came to his senses, what he saw was an old man cupping his cheek.

So, someone said to the old man who was about to get angry, ‘It looks like he’s woken up. The moment he called ‘Dean,’ the guy’s eyes grew so big that they couldn’t get any bigger.

As he looked around, he saw a colleague who had died with his head cut off or a hole in his chest or neck, and he let out a strange scream of ‘Hi!’. He then saw the professors and academy students who were looking at him as if he were a monster caught in a cage. started shaking so hard that his teeth chattered.

“Hey.”

“Heek?!”

Wow!

The knight’s head turns to the side. Anyway, that old man is really toxic. I keep hitting only where I hit him. Just one cheek.

“This bastard?”

“Sa, please save me!”

“Do not kill. Not yet. Why is it like that?”

“… What, what?”

“That guy over there. That guy may be a little crazy, but he’s still a so-called candidate. What did he trust? ”

“Well, a fair duel… … Quack!”

After talking bullshit, he got slapped again and screamed ‘Please help me!’

“What was that?”

“… Sobbing. Yes, I received instructions. Argh! Please save me.”

Afterwards, the dean pretended to turn his shoulders once, but he covered his face with both hands and whined.

To summarize what he explained after whining for a while, it is roughly as follows.

The guys with the funny name of the Gold Knights are the knights of Viscount Raymond’s family. Those who used to be mercenaries were transformed into knights, and for a knight, they are good at handling all kinds of dirty work?

It is said that as soon as the Viscount received a call from the Evergreen Academy to take the body of Puchot de Raymond – today I learned the name and surname of the man I killed for the first time – the Viscount repeatedly blacked out and woke up for a while.

And as soon as he came to his senses, the order he gave was to kill me?

Are you crazy?

It’s not even new anymore. Because there is no one in their right mind among nobles.

the problem is,

“How dare you!!”

I don’t know when I arrived, but behind the dean, in the middle of the crowd, was the Caligo Inquisitor wearing pure white clothes and a hood.

“Heee!!”

I screamed and struggled to get away from the Inquisitor, as if the Garbage Knight had confirmed the presence of the three people, but I had no idea where I could go.

The Inquisitor, who grabbed the screaming man by the collar, turned his indifferent gaze to Dean Hu and said,

“This trash is ours.”

It was unilaterally notified.

According to what I have learned so far, Dean Hu has taken a stance of making some concessions to the Caligo Church, and that was the case this time as well.

In some ways, Dean Hu responded by nodding his head despite the words being rude to a superhuman.

And just as the Heretic Judge Caligo was about to leave the scene, looking furious.

Huuu!

Suddenly, my vision turned pure white and I closed my eyes. By itself.

And in front of me, the man I had seen before, the man who was said to be the God of Magic, was standing there smiling.

“Welcome. Is this your first time being unconscious?”

◈ ◈ ◈

A desert where you can see rough and ferocious divine power shaking and tearing through the red sand as if it were a daily occurrence. In this place where the black sun never sets, a huge presence was felt again in Pandemonium, a black castle that has been gradually increasing in size.

After the meeting that day, the beings gathered again for the first time in a long time. The time they gathered was exactly fifteen days before Gray was attacked by the Gold Knights.

“Why! why! Do we get together at my Manma Battle every time? Expansion construction is in full swing right now! And if you want to use my last name, please excuse me next time! Don’t unilaterally notify!”

“In the first place, preparations for all events are the responsibility of those below, so why are they making such a fuss? Isn’t it natural to gather at your house below?”

Even today, greed and envy, Mammon and Levidon growl as soon as they meet. As always. And as always, there is someone who intervenes by belittling both of them at the same time.

“Oh, stop it. It looks like it doesn’t exist. This is why I don’t interact with animals.”

“Do you want to die?”

“… On the subject of perverted bastards.”

It’s Asmodeus. His previously overweight appearance had returned to that of a young, handsome nobleman.

That doesn’t mean he has the kind of appearance that people here would recognize, but he certainly looks attractive enough that human women can’t take their eyes off him. There may be some men who can’t take their eyes off them.

At this point, Lucifer steps in to sort things out… … .

“Stop it.”

no. This time, unexpectedly, it is Satan.

Unlike usual, instead of taking a step back, he opened his mouth first. As if there was something busy going on. He continued speaking as if he wanted to rule out any flirtatious emotional fights in the first place.

“You are probably aware that the divine realm has issued an unusual oracle this time, right? It seemed like they were doing something to the candidates. That too, the magic god himself.”

The remnants each fell into thought at his words. Actually, it’s a bit strange to say it this way, but the gods of the divine world were truly a cruel people. Among them, the god of magic is really… … !

I can’t even guess what kind of evil thing he’s planning.

All of the gathered remnants realized that this was the reason why Satan, who always stayed away like a bystander, had summoned them. Also, the seriousness of the situation.

“What is the status of the demon lords under each person?”

“Greed is the desire that represents humans. No problem at all.”

Starting with the words of Mamon, the master of Ten Thousand Demons,

“This is a dragon that took a long time to lure for this purpose. I’m really sure about this this time.”

Not to be outdone, Levidon continued speaking,

“My baby is doing really well. During the day and at night.”

Asmodeus answers like that with eyes filled with lust, wondering what he’s imagining.

And there the competitive words stopped.

When Satan turned his head, Lucifer answered his question by nodding. Satan also had no doubt that Lucifer would do well.

Because he is that kind of being. Lucifer of thoroughness and arrogance was his nickname.

And the two remaining silent beings. Among them, an unknown fish that was about to enter Beelzebub’s mouth disappeared at the gesture of Satan’s hand.

“What?! Do you want to die? Satan?”

Only then did Beelzebub roll his eyes and look at Satan. He was full of energy in the form of a child, as if he was not afraid of the Satan of Wrath, the potential leader of the remnants.

“Everyone is busy, so you should hurry up and talk and then go back and eat to your heart’s content. What about the devil?”

“… Sheesh! I managed to gain weight. Now I can destroy a drake with my fingers. Good to eat. Okay? Don’t disturb me. These are the wings of Seraphim that I found with great difficulty. If you disturb me again, I won’t tolerate it either. Satan.”

But Satan did not listen to his warning. Instead, he immediately turned his head and glared at the being who had not said anything until now.

As always, the woman was sleeping with a thick blanket wrapped around her body. Satan looked at her and realized that she was really sleeping, and with a sigh he rubbed his fingers together.

Exactly!

Then, the blanket surrounding the woman disappears, and the temperature drops around her. Still, the woman did not wake up.

With a long sigh, Satan, who stopped Lucifer from getting up and shouting, snaps his fingers again, and a loud ‘Rumbling!’ sound is heard from above the still sleeping woman’s head.

Pachick—!

As the abyss appears, reminiscent of a black black hole, the air around it becomes crazy. The moment you start the engine, it sounds like the growl of a wild beast in front of its prey.

“… I woke up.”

A woman grumbles as she wakes up and shakes the ice off her body.

“Belphegor. No time to joke around. Because we are all busy.”

“Ha… . Satan. I’m a sloth. sloth! If you want me to be diligent, you’re a language idiot. Me sleeping is no different from you getting angry!”

“I don’t know about others, but I don’t expect you to be diligent. I just hope I’m not stupid. So under your command?”

“Fact… . It’s serious.”

At Belphegor’s words, the faces of the other six who had been slacking off, playing around, or arguing with each other with their eyes turned serious. Even though Sloth looked so thoughtless, it was one of the ‘remnants.’

Something happened that she said was serious?

“This bastard… . well… . So diligent.”

However, with Belphegor’s subsequent remarks, the heavy atmosphere becomes cloudy and relaxed, and anger takes its place.

“The devil of sloth! That guy is the most diligent in the world. Anyone who sees him will think that he is the devil of diligence and sincerity. In a way, I almost understood what the magic god said to me the other day… huh? What’s wrong with you?”

“Should I kill him? okay. Let’s kill it. die! Just die!”

“Hey. Satan! If you blow that thing, the whole battle will collapse! If you’re going to rebuild it, you can blow it up.”

“Oh! Battle Fight!”

“Don’t do it. Blow away the dust.”

“Death, Satan! Be patient.”

“That’s right. Don’t let dust get on Seraphim’s wings. Go over there and fight.”

After listening to the reviews of Mammon, Levidon, Asmodeus, Lucifer, and Beelzebub in that order, Satan suddenly experienced a loss of strength. Fortunately, the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons was successful and the battle between Satan and Belphegor did not take place.

After the chaos was resolved, the meeting, which concluded that there were no problems, was about to be canceled.

“But… Wow! The devil… Sigh! When will it be released?”

Beelzebub asks while sucking on his finger. At that question, a look of bewilderment appeared on the slothful Belphegor’s face.

Isn’t this something that has already been done several times? But now that Beelzebub is asking that question and doesn’t know it yet, it’s just ridiculous.

“Once we are ready, we will notify the divine realm. Then, they will make a decision on approval or rejection within a month. But until now, I have never once rejected it. Rejecting means that the gods think they will lose, and that hurts their pride, which they hate as much as death. If they accept our challenge, the game will begin exactly one year later.”

As Satan finished his explanation, I thought that there seemed to be a lot of sighing today.

“I see~. But what about demons?”

“Huh? What are demons?”

“When will the demons go out?”

“The demons will go out when the demon king calls them!!”

Belphegor, nicknamed ‘Sloth’, was so frustrated that he screamed.

“um. I guess it won’t work… … . Sheesh, if you can go out without having to contact the divine world, I was going to tell you to get some ice drake meat, which is rare on this continent… ? why why why? ah! why! Again!!”

Seeing that everyone’s eyes were focused on him, Beelzebub must have remembered the previous time with Belphegor, so he took a step back and raised a lot of thorns.

however,

“Cheer, you’re a genius?”

Starting with Lucifer’s exclamation,

“Definitely.”

“If you are a mid to upper level demon, you may not need to contact the divine world.”

“Okay. Moreover, did you make an oracle?”

“If you’re at an intermediate level, it’s easier to make a board than using a human, right?”

“What a glutton?”

Everyone sees Beelzebub with new eyes.

“Cha, let’s fight instead! Hey guys .. hey guys! More, come at me!”

After realizing his existence, it was Beelzebub’s response to the gazes of his colleagues and competitors, filled with admiration that he had never received in his life.
