Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku (WN) - Volume 13 - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: 32

13-32 . Demon Lord Shin (2)

◇

Now then, how do I take off the Demon Lord Orb's influence from Shin boy?

While I'm thinking that in my mind, a fool comes intruding in .

"Your highness, I've come to save you with my followers zamasu!"

Smashing through the sub-space's wall, the green demon in green dragon form and mid and lower demons in various forms surge forward .

Looking at the mid demon with drill arms, that one probably has the ability to break through barrier .

"G-good work--"

Shin boy was going to say something, but that voice was erased by the thunderous roar of my advanced magic [Photon Laser] purging the demons .

As expected of an advanced magic .

The demons pleasantly pop off .

It's a bit too noisy, and the surrounding temperature increases greatly, but I guess it can't be helped with this firepower .

Only one mid demon that has Light Resistance skill remains, but I quickly exterminate it with a single magic-power-overloaded Holy Bolt .

"Gugaaagagaga"

I thought that the excessive one-sided battle had a bad influence on Shin boy's mental, so I turn toward him in a hurry--

"Usurpation zamasu . With the power to rule over magic, me can be a demon lord too zamasu!"

<TLN: That 'me' is in the raw . >

I saw the green demon possessing Shin boy just for an instant .

Shin boy's state becomes [Posessed] . He was easily posessed even though he's a demon lord, I wonder if it's because of the difference in levels?

Still, a falling out between friends huh . . . . In a sense, it's very like demons .

Oops, it'll be too late if I'm too carefree .

I have to do something .

It'll be simple if I use the forbidden spell of light magic [Divine Exorcism], but I haven't registered that in the Magic Column .

--This is bad .

Shin boy would fuse with the green demon if I chant too long .

--It was in a POP-ed treasure chest .

Suddenly, Arisa's voice floated in my mind .

"That's right! I have that . "

While unintentionally talking to myself, I take out the [Magic Sealing Bell] from the Storage and ring it .

Ding, the calm sound of the bell spreads in the air like a ripple .

ZWAAAMMMMAASWUUUUUUU .

While letting out a loud scream, the green demon who had merged with Shin boy comes off him .

I get close to it with Ground Shrink, catch the semi-transparent ethereal body of the green demon, and tear it off Shin boy completely .

I cut the demon into pieces with a holy sword while it's still in the air .

Just before the green demon disappears, I track the magic essence line that connects the green demon's avatar to its main body .

Judging from its behavior, the green demon's avatar should not be a stand-alone but a remote-controlled one .

Feeling like trying to find a sinking fishing line in a vast ocean, I extend the magic essence detection .

--Found it!

The next moment, I spring out in the base of the green demon beyond .

I don't know myself how I moved here .

Is it magic or skill--I'll think about it later .

I stitch the main body of the green demon who's zamasuzamasu-ing with the space magic [<<Dimension Pile>>] so that it can't escape, and finish it off with a holy sword .

Oops, I can't let my guard down here .

This kind of guy won't be completely annihilated with just this much .

I use [All Map Exploration] magic after a long while and investigate this area thoroughly .

I thought it'd be an area without map, but it turned out to be [Rotted Abyss Labyrinth: Remains] .

Apparently, this is one of the withered labyrinths .

I found a red dot in the area .

It seems to be a split body of the green demon that has possessed a rat .

Good grief, just how hard to die are these demon guys .

Since there won't be any victim in a withered labyrinth anyway, I use the [Photon Laser] from earlier once again, completely annihilating the last fragment of the green demon through the labyrinth wall .

With this, I don't have to worry about the zamasu zamasu and the green demon again .

Auto Loot of the booty begins, my Log is flowing at great speed .

Sorting the room that's full of junks, there are only several green colored globes that remain in the corner of the room .

--What's that?

I go closer to them and the AR reading tells me what they are .

Apparently, they're specimens the green demon had used to make its mock bodies (avatars) .

The green globe breaks when I touch it with my hand, and the creature inside shows itself .

--KYEWWROUUUN .

The green infant dragon tilts its head .

Unlike the green demon's mock body, it's really adorable .

While feeding the truck-sized infant dragon with some whale meat, I open a space magic's [Gate] and let it out of here .

After the infant dragon, I also help the other mythical beasts and animals from the globes and let them out of here .

Sorry for the discrimination, but I exterminate the ones that are monsters like wyverns quickly .

The problem is the humans .

For now, after helping them out of the globes, I make them sleep with water magic's [Anesthetic Sleep], and then send them to Echigoya Firm with Unit Arrangement .

I've ordered one of the executive girls to take care of them, so leaving them should be fine .

Of course I send people who have felony on their Reward and Punishments to the Royal Capital's prison with Unit Arrangement .

This isn't the first time I sent people there forcibly, and the wardens there are flexible, so there's no doubt that they'll be taken care of properly .

◇

I come back to the sub-space where I left Shin boy behind .

Even though he's in critical condition, the demon lord's life force ties him to the living .

I thought he'd fine since he's a demon lord, but it seems my estimation is a bit off .

Shin boy would have died if I were to liken him with Wild Boar King and Dog-head .

I stop Shin boy's bleeding with intermediate healing magic .

It'll be troubling if I completely heal him, I'm thinking of releasing Shin boy's demon lord-fication now .

Perhaps the green demon's fusion earlier affects him adversely, violet colored aura begins to ooze out of Shin boy's body .

I try to extend my hand once again, but my hand really does pass through the violet aura .

I take out the Divine Sword from the Storage, and touch it on the violet aura .

The aura is sucked at the point where the Divine Sword touches it, while the surrounding aura is scattered like oil spilled on water .

It doesn't seem good, so I quickly put the Divine Sword back into the Storage .

Now then, what should I do . . . .

I can't be too leisurely at this .

That said, besides the Divine Sword, there's probably nothing that can meddle with the [God's Fragment]--

. . . no, there's one .

I choose that among the list of item in the Storage .

I don't like showing my failure, but I can't say that either .

I push out the jet black lump toward the violet aura, it feels like touching a thin vinyil membrane .

--I can do it .

Moving like I'm making a cotton candy, I twine the violet aura using the jet black lump--my black arm that I had to cut after being taken by divinity .

As expected of Easy Mode .

Even though I did it myself, I didn't think it'd really work .

Before long, some heavy response came .

While being careful not to sever the thread created by the violet aura, I pull the thread out like I'm fishing, and then a violet light jumps out of Shin boy's chest .

『S-stop with the violence』

The dark violet light grumbles while flickering .

『Geez, just when I was taken out, I got put into some imatture child . 』

While swinging left and right, the light grumbles continously .

『Gotta complain to God when I go back』

I don't intend to let it go, so I take out and immediately draw the Divine Sword from the Storage, cutting the [God's Fragment] .

Like before, the dark violet light is sucked to the Divine Sword .

Now then, the fragment's disposal is over with this .

I put the Divine Sword back into the storage, and then heal Shin boy who's bloodied all over because the dark violet light jumped out .

His two-meter big figure of man gradually shrinks, returning to his original frail looking boy .

The horn has fallen out and his hair and body color have also returned, but it seems he doesn't completely turn back into his original figure .

His forelock and sideburns are still in violet color among his white hair, his right hand remains in claw shape .

His race has become [Human(Fiend)], and his state is [Miasma Poisoning] .

I feel that his race would become Fiend if I left him alone .

His title has also changed to [Fallen Hero], and hidden titles [Former Demon Lord], and [Half Demon] have appeared .

His Unique Skill is gone, and his level falls to 20 from 50, but it's still higher than his original level .

[Composite Magic], [Magic Knowledge], [Magic Resistance: Composite] have also appeared on his skill column . They're some quite enviable skills .

The last one in particular, I want our girls to have it .

Shin boy groans painfully .

His eyes opened for an instant, one of it was red, the other was violet .

It's probablyl an influence from [Miasma Poisoning] .

I have to do something fast . . . .

I have a hunch that the [Miasma Poisoning] can be healed if I make him drink the Nectar, but I'm afraid that he'll turn into some godlike High Human being .

While thinking like that, the [Miasma Poisoning] is cured when I use the earth-elemental abnormal status recovery magic .

"Easier to do something than worrying about it huh--hm?"

Shin boy's state jumps into my view who feels anticlimatic .

The [Miasma Poisoning] that should have been cured reappears .

While feeling puzzled, I tried using abnormal status recovery magic from water, light, and other elements, but the result was the same .

Once it's been cured, it reapppears again if I wait for a bit .

Moreover, everytime I cure him, Shin boy's condition becomes worse, a condition called [Weakening] is even added to his state now .

Perhaps he can't be cured unless it's temple type recovery magic .

Although, if I bring Shin boy in his state right now there, they'll likely eliminate him without question .

Hikaru uses force magic, so she should be not that different from me, as for other people . . . .

After thinking that far, I remember a person of exceptional talent .
