7th in the Pecking Order
"Master! The dungeon destination is now visible to the naked eye!"
Shiro, who was standing at the bow of the Golden Skull and giving directions, tells me.
"I know! Then, I will take over the helm with Ori Hime!"
"What?! Why?"
"I have something to do!"
I took over the helm with Ori Hime, while Shiro was grumbling.
"Ori Hime! Act change to Ori Hime Morningstar!"
"Master! Are you planning on wiping out all the monsters that crawl out of the dungeon as soon as we appear?"
Shiro asks excitedly.
"It's a secret!"
I remain silent so that Shiro won't read my mind.
I'm surprisingly good at playing dumb.
After all, there were so many things in my life that I couldn't do without running away from reality and being mindless.
However, I know from experience that if I practice mindlessly or work mindlessly, my mind will get lost.
"Shiro, we're fighting in a melee between enemy and ally. Move to the front of the dungeon!"
"Roger!"
Shiro replied excitedly.
Shiro, who loves me too much, loves watching me do well, no matter what.
"There!"
I locked on to the prey I was looking for while spinning the Ori Hime Morningstar.
"Master! I have one question, but why isn't Ori Hime Morningstar showing off her thorns?"
Shiro asked.
"Well, it would be pitiful if Ori Hime was covered in blood!
Ori Hime Morningstar has high killing power even without the spikes!"
"Indeed."
Shiro agreed without any doubts.
"Then let’s do it in a flashy way!"
"Roger that!"
Shiro steers the ship as hard as she can, letting the Golden Skull drift and crash right in front of the dungeon.
"W... what!"
"Why is there a ship on land!"
"Hey! That's crazy!"
"I… it’s going to collide!"
"Gigyaa!"
Allies and enemy monsters are surprised and frightened by the sudden appearance of the Golden Skull, scattering dust and smoke.
Meanwhile, I calmly lock onto my prey and use Ori Hime Morningstar's maximum centrifugal force to slam into it as hard as I can.
"Dieーー!"
"What!? You're kidding, aren't you on our side!?"
Having met me before, the person must have been completely relieved, because the person seemed to have let its guard down.
That person was completely caught off guard and was hit by Ori Hime Morningstar directly, disappearing into the sky and becoming a star.
"Eh!? Ced-kun, what are you doing!"
Right next to the person, Anastasia, who was dealing with the monsters coming out of the dungeon, was saying something to me with a pale face.
"Eh? Wasn’t the person just now our enemy?
That person seemed pretty strong, so I used a surprise attack to eliminate that person, but was there a problem?"
I play dumb.
"Ced-kun! That girl is an ally! She was the greatest strength on this front, what did you do!"
Anastasia is furious.
"It’s okay! Look, Ori Hime isn’t showing off her thorns!
That person looks strong, so I'm sure she won't die!
However, I think it will take about half a year to come back here!"
"Master……"
Shiro also looked at me with an exasperated look on her face.
Yes, the one I blew away with the Ori Hime Morning Star was Joan of Arc.
She was the one who destroyed my stage of success in the last war.
Last time, when I returned from death and found Joan of Arc, I was determined to take revenge with my own hands.
After all, if I don't take revenge first, the witch Merlin might kill me again!
"Ced-kun. Jeanne said she's met you before."
Anastasia has a blue streak on her forehead, angry.
It's such a waste since she's such a beautiful woman.
"Master, this time, you should really apologize..."
"What’s wrong with it! I just took revenge on her!
Besides, she'll just die if she stays here anyway!
In fact, she was killed by the witch Merlin last time and the time before that!"
"Eh!? By any chance, Ced-kun, did you return from death?"
Suddenly, Anastasia bit into it.
"This is my third time coming here!"
"Is the newly born Demon King really that strong!?"
"Hmm? Demon King? I've never seen a Demon King yet, though?"
"Then who killed Jeanne?"
"Jeanne, or rather, everyone here was dead! Friends and enemies alike!"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Anastasia seems unable to understand that even the enemies are dead.
Well, normally, when a Demon King shows up, I think it’s their true form to lead the monsters into battle, so there’s nothing we can do about that.
"A devil from another world has appeared!
Moreover, there are two people!"
"What do you mean! The devil from another world is a devil on the same level as Amaimon-sama..."
Since Anastasia knows Amaimon, it seems that the contract they signed was true.
"It seems that Mephistopheles is inferior to Amaimon, but the Pied Piper of Hamelin, the Black Death, was said to be on the same level as Amaimon!"
Anastasia turned pale when she heard my words.
Well, anyone who knows Amaimon would be in despair if they heard that it was on the same level as Amaimon.
"Master! You're wrong! Father said that if he put his mind to it, he could beat the Pied Piper of Hamelin!"
"Is that so?"
"Master, aren’t you underestimating Father?
Sebastian, who lives with the princess. He rules over Asmodeus, one of the Seven Deadly Sins devil!
And Mammon from the Seven Deadly Sins,
There are rumors that he is the same person as Amon, who is ranked 7th in the demon hierarchy and appears in the grimoire [Goetia]!"
"He was that amazing..."
"If he wasn’t amazing, he wouldn’t be able to create the Amru Dungeon where we were born!"
"Certainly……"
I turned a little pale, in a different way.
(TN: According to Ars Goetia, Amon is the 2nd Marquis, and to the list of seventy-two demons, Amon is the 7th.)
