Short story 9 Each movement

　While Luciel was falling asleep on Rumina's lap, changes began to appear in the huge magic circles that were appearing in the sky in various places.

　From the moment the magic circle emitted a dark red light, demons began to appear one after another.

　Seeing this, Luciel's servants and those who were proud to be his friends all started to move.

　--Yenis---　

　Cresia was given the command of the defense of Yenis, who was watching a huge magic circle, but when she saw that the magic circle momentarily glowed blue-white, she immediately decided to take command of the city's defense with the adventurer's guild run by the Dragon Brothers. , I left it to Naria and the others who were the key members of the Luciel Company, and jumped on the battle horse I had prepared and flew out of Yennis.

　Chasing Cresia from behind was the figure of Hattori and Alice clinging to two battle horses.

“The two of you were supposed to stay behind to defend Yennis, right?”

"It's not something a gentleman should do to send a girl he's in love to die alone."

"I can't hesitate when the bonus stage is rolling in front of me."

　Cresia judged that the two men's wills were very strong, and even if she could persuade them, it would take a considerable amount of time.

"I have been entrusted with the defense of Yenis by Luciel-sama. Therefore, I will prioritize defeating as many enemies as possible than protecting the two of you."

"That's the kind of behavior that befits the name of a beautiful bow princess. I'm really appalled by this dezaru."

"I'll have Schwartz with me in case of an emergency, so it won't be a problem."

"I see...then let's hurry."　

　Cresia said that with a slight smile and started running the battle horse.

　In fact, Crecia was also feeling anxious and anxious about heading to the magic circle alone.

　However, it was very strange to see Hattori, who remained unwavering in this situation and said something a little disgusting as usual, and was relieved of the unnecessary tension.

　When the three of them arrived near the huge magic circle, the huge magic circle began to glow red and black again.

　--Rockford--　　　

　Ever since the huge magic circle appeared, Paula and Rician have been waiting for monsters and demons to appear.

　When they finally saw the magic circle glowing red and black, they were convinced that it was the turn of the giant golem group "Lucielns" and tried to activate it...

　However, something that looked like a monster came out of the magic circle and immediately began to burn pale and white, and I had no choice but to wait as I watched the magic stones fall.

"Hmm... I told Luciel too soon that the magic circle was formed."

"It can't be helped. If the monsters and demons were to scatter from the magic circle, it would cause extraordinary damage."

"I want to try Lucien's soon..."

"One of these days, it'll be your turn. Besides, I don't see many magic stones falling like rain."

"Indeed... If you have that much, you can make many magical tools of your choice."

"I'd like to say that it's up to Luciel-sama, but basically they say you can make anything other than magic tools specialized for destruction..."

　While watching the sight of magic stones raining down, the two each came up with a plan for a new magic tool.

　Then, when the giant magic circle began to shine again, the two of them saw a giant arm grab the magic circle and try to come out, and the two began to shift the giant golem to its activated state. .

　--Ruburg Kingdom--

　Lord Wisdom, who rose to the rank of commander of the kingdom's army after marrying Lunoir, the third princess of the Kingdom of Louburg, immediately runs away from any monsters or demons that appear in each town or village as soon as a huge magic circle appears. I sent a message with strict orders to prevent this from happening.

　Ketty and Kefin were exchanging opinions about how to deal with the two magic circles that had appeared in the Kingdom of Ruburg.

“Then, is that giant magic circle floating in the sky told not to do anything until Sage Luciel-sama orders it?”

"That's not true. I'm saying that if you move the army poorly, it will only cause more damage and become more troublesome."

　Lord Wisdom spoke with Luciel through telepathy and immediately summoned Ketty and Kefin, and told them that he wanted to dispatch the kingdom's army to one of the huge magic circles and ask Ketty and Kefin to handle the other.

　However, the two immediately dismissed it.

　Especially from Ketty, his ignorant thoughts that did not know the horror of the evil god caused a murderous spirit to leak out from him.

“I understand that Lord Wisdom has his own position.However, I don’t think Luciel-sama should undo the efforts he has made to prevent any damage in the past few months since he found out that the evil god was coming.” …”

“Then all we can do is wait?”

"We'll go to the huge magic circle in the west. The magic circle in the south is in Grundle's territory, so Grundle has someone to deal with."

"Well, that's the way it is. It is most desirable for Lord Wisdom to take action to relieve the people's anxiety as much as possible."

“I see…but that’s probably the correct answer…”

"That's fine"

"Let me take care of that"

　Ketty nodded with satisfaction, and Kefin was relieved, but with the determination to never let Ketty die, he set off toward the magic circle to the west.

　--A labyrinth of intrigue--

　At the entrance to the Labyrinth of Plots along the border between Louburg and Glandre, Bazak, who was once feared and nicknamed the Abyss, burns magic grass in his pipe and emits purple smoke while gazing at a gigantic magic circle floating in the sky. I spat out.

"I did hear that something was happening in the labyrinth, but I never expected it to be outside...Is it a sign of trust that you're handling this place by yourself? Or..."

　At that moment, a huge magic circle glowed red and black, and a monster came out of the magic circle, but it disappeared as it was consumed by pale blue flames.

"Well, I guess he's just a good-natured person...Anyway, it seems a little interesting to analyze that magic circle."

　While he was doing this, Bazak saw the magic circle glowing red and black again and began chanting the newly developed magic as his level had increased.

　--Irmasia Empire--

　While deftly manipulating the airship, Doran fired the main cannon imbued with holy attribute magic towards the magic circle.

　Then, the main gun, which was further amplified by Luciel's sacred barrier, was sucked into the magic circle.

"I thought I was definitely capturing the magic circle, but what's going on?"

"It's certain that it hit that magic circle itself. But if it didn't interfere with the magic circle, then it probably jumped out from where the magic circle was connected... That's my guess."

"I agree with Nanya's opinion. Maybe it was a pre-emptive attack on the demon country."

　Doran tilts his head at the main gun that didn't interfere with the magic circle, and Nanya and Lina give him that opinion.

　Dolan thought that if that was true, it might have been a little early.

“Anyway, aim the secondary gun so that it can fire at any time, and refill the main gun with holy attribute magic.”

""yes""

　While the two of them were busy moving around on the ship, Doran looked at the magic circle and decided to think about the worst case scenario.

　Then, when the magic circle began to glow red and black again, Doran fired his main gun and four secondary guns at the same time and watched what happened.

　--Blange--

　Brodo and Lionel are still unable to defeat the only remaining knight covered in miasma.

　It wasn't just that he was struggling. The knight simply fled at an incredible speed.

　What's more, the place they ran to was inside the royal palace, where people who were covered in miasma and turned into demons or undead appeared one after another, so they completely lost sight of them.　　　

"Wow, that's annoying..."

“It’s only natural that there will be obstacles where you are being guided, but…”

“Do you want to erase the entire castle?”

“I wish you would have suggested that before I was led underground like this.”

　Since the two possess enemy search skills, it was easy for them to chase down the fleeing knight.

　However, as if this were not expected, he was lured into the royal palace and then led underground.

　Furthermore, the two thought that Luciel might be able to cure those who had turned into demons or undead, so they fought to refrain from killing non-combatants as much as possible through their attire.

　As a result, he was under a lot of stress, and Brodo lost his emotions and Lionel lost his polite way of speaking.

　When they finally cornered them, a huge door awaited them, but the two of them hesitated to proceed forward.

“Senki… if I’m not mistaken…”

"Ah... there is an evil god. There are also ten people who have the same power as the knight from earlier..."

　Sweat dripped from their foreheads.

"I see...I finally understand...the reason I was kept alive..."

"You're not saying you're here to fight, are you?"

“Ah?”

"In that case, that's fine... Even this is just a passing point for me. As for Luciel-sama, I'm sure he'll get involved in something interesting again soon. Leave the rest to me."

"...That's not true! Even for me, this is a passing point. Even though I've become younger, I have no intention of making this my final destination! But I just thought that this would be a break, and that I could finally repay my debt."
