Demon King
We dealt with them, we dealt with them, we dealt with them
"Are they still there?"
"How many Holy Kingdom soldiers have entered?"
I stopped counting after 300 people.
"Accurately, the number of people we dealt with is 357."
The soldiers Yukikaze trained are very good.
"What about ammunition?"
"There's still plenty."
"The gunners say they're still in good shape. Let's get rid of them quickly!"
As I said that, a small light appeared in front of my eyes.
"Did you see that just now?"
"Was there a communication facility in that position?"
The light went out quickly
"What was that...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the ship shook violently.
"Whoaaa!!"
Many sailors fall to the floor.
The ship is tilting.
It's almost at a 20-degree angle.
"What's the damage?"
"The hull is intact! The magic stone barrier has been breached!"
There's another flash of light from the same spot.
"Increase altitude! Captain! The glass will break!"
"Eh!"
I throw a spear-shaped nail in the direction of the light.
It breaks through the glass of the bridge and flies away with a sound.
I noticed the abnormality when I felt a slight connection to the nail.
"It's been repelled!"
I don't know whether it was magic or physical.
I don't know which, but my attack was neutralized.
"The culprit has arrived, Captain!"
"Leave the observation, analysis and reporting to me. I'll do it without a second thought!"
"I'm off!"
I jumped to the one who shot it down.
---------------
There was a person waiting there.
"Were you the one who targeted the ship?"
I pointed the tip of my sword at the person
"Indeed... How very good of you to shoot down my bow."
"Good? I don't even know you, though?"
"Excuse me, my name is Olbraith. Olbraith Yetaris, a vassal of the hero Yuta-sama of the Holy Kingdom of Lucilias."
"I didn't ask for your name. Answer the question."
"I have heard about you from Yuta-sama and his assistant Iznareva-sama. Demon King-dono."
Demon King?
Since when did I become such a scary being?
"Yuta-sama says that you are a being called [Last boss]."
"Huh? Last boss?"
"Therefore, you will die here."
With that said, he jumped forward and fired his bow at a tremendous speed.
I jumped backward and while dodging the first one, and two more was shot.
He's aiming precisely at my head.
"It was a surefire attack, but…"
"Until now, right? This set a precedent. Isn't it a good learning experience?"
It was actually dangerous
If I had concentrated too much on the first shot, it would have definitely gone through my head.
Above all, the arrow that flowed behind me was so powerful that it crushed the rock behind me.
If it hits, there will be no trace left.
I honestly don't like the idea of killing people.
Even at this age, I still can't let go of such naive thoughts.
"You can say whatever you want about the Demon King or the last boss."
"Isn't it true?"
"There is only one fact. You, the Holy Kingdom, have invaded, right?"
"That's a funny thing to say, isn't it?"
"What part of it?"
"This is not an invasion or anything like that."
The man expresses it as if it were natural.
"This is a purification. There is nothing wrong with destroying the wicked."
I have to admit I don't like the idea of killing people.
But it's too late for that now.
There is no way to make peace with these people.
"Now then, I'll crush your head."
"If you can do it, why don't you try it?"
I have finished preparing
"I'll tell you one thing... the moment you release the arrow, you'll lose an eye."
The magic is already in effect.
"That’s a boring bluff."
The man releases the arrow.
It happened in a moment
The moment when the arrow moves just a little after being struck by the string
"Gwaaaaaaaaa!"
The arrow explodes.
The bow was poised right next to the man's face, as he was aiming for a clean hit.
So the fragments of the exploded arrow ended up tearing the man's face to shreds.
"It's a kind of spatial magic, where you can freely generate phenomena from the place where you pour mana with your fingers."
"W-when did you..."
"Before you leapt forward, young man."
"Y-you weren't a swordsman. You were a mage...?"
"I can use both. We can do both. People in the Empire can do both."
"W-what…"
I stab him between his eyes with my sword.
And the man, Olbraith Yetaris, dies.
"Demon King? Last boss? Me?..."
Hero Yuta?
If I'm right about the last boss being the last boss I know...
"Does he have knowledge of Earth?"
That would mean we're dealing with a synthetic dragon.
