Chapter 29 – The Most Powerful Demon King in History. Cleans up.
Lumiel was a little excited about defeating the Dragon Zombie.
“Oh, Master! I did it!”
“It was a brilliant feat.” 『Really. How terrifying!』
Lumiel looked simply delighted. The residents ran over with joy and surrounded Lumiel.
Those who had been stunned by the dragon’s roar seemed to be recovering now.
“Thank you, princess!” “You are a lifesaver.”
“You too, Mr, Hyrum. Thank you!”
Jessica thanked me politely. The other residents thanked me as well.
“Don’t mind me. The princess did great.”
I stood up for Lumiel.
Then, while looking at Lumiel, who was surrounded by her people and being thanked, I talked to Jorm.
『They summon the Orc Lord, and Lumiel goes to defeat it, bypassing the Lord’s restraint. And then…』
『As a result, the Dragon zombie goes on a rampage, Your Majesty. The enemy thinks of unpleasant things.』
The incompetent princess gets carried away and a catastrophe occurs.
Even though the Lord in charge had tried to stop her.
There can be no excuse for that.
She is royalty, so she won’t be imprisoned, but she should be prepared to be removed as a Knight Commander and placed under house arrest in the Royal Capital.
『However, the enemy’s agenda is completely off. This is what I call a schemer’s fallacy.』
She slayed the dragon and protected her people.
This is a great achievement both as a Knight Commander and as a member of the Royal Family.
『Rather than a matter of strategy, I believe it is just that the Hero is abnormal.』
Somewhere Jorm looked dissatisfied.
Then, the inhabitants began to dismantle the Orc King and the Dragon Zombie.
Jessica and the other children were also involved in the process.
“Jessica, not like that. This is how you do it.”
“This way!”
It is dismantled while she is being taught how to do it by an old man in the town.
“Dragons are tough, so I’ll cut it down.”
“For the princess to perform such a chore…”
“Don’t worry about it. Cleaning up afterwards is also an important job.”
Lumiel was also dismantling it together with the residents.
Knowing Lumiel. The proceeds from the sale of the dismantled materials will be distributed to the residents.
As long as Jessica and the others can eat their fill, that’s fine with me.
“…… Anyway.”
I saw the Lord, forgotten and neglected by everyone.
He was so good at hiding that none of the residents noticed him.
“Hekeeeeeemueeh!!
He moaned meaningless words in a small, whispering voice.
“Hey, Lord.”
“…… eeeeekeh…muueeeeh.”
『He has gone completely insane. The dragon’s roar rarely gets this severe.』
『…… This is too suspicious.』
『Is that so?』
Jorm is stunned.
Jorm, the ancient dragon, thinks that this is what naturally happens to people if they are hit by his roar.
However, while the dragon zombie was a powerful dragon, it was not an ancient dragon.
Its roar would not usually have this much power.
『Besides the fact that the dragon zombie was not an ancient dragon, the Lord was proficient at magic. It is normal for them to have high magic power, which means they have a high resistance to mental magic.』
『I see. It sounds strange now that you mention it.』
I examined the Lord.
『…… It’s cleverly hidden, but he’s cursed.』
The curse has lowered his resistance to mental magic to the extreme.
He was then hit by the roar, and his mind was completely broken.
Even with my healing magic, this is difficult to heal.
『What is the point of cursing the Lord?』
『I don’t know that much, but…』
However, if you think about it normally, would it be to silence him?
『Besides, this curse is under the magic system passed down by demons…』
『How do you know that?』
『I’m the man who was called the King of Magic.』
『As expected of Your Majesty!』
『However, we can’t leave him like this.』
I lift the Lord and carry him.
Then, from around the barricade, I threw the Lord to his aides, who were looking at us.
“His Excellency, take care of him.”
“…… You, lesser race.”
“Then what about you, who are weaker than someone from that lesser race?”
“Uh!”
His aides just glared at me.
I displayed my strength earlier, so they can’t touch me.
Lumiel then came running over.
“Master, thank you for waiting.”
“Are you finished?”
“Yes. The guild will take care of the materials and distribute them to the residents.”
“That’s a convenient guild.”
“Yes.”
And then, I walk home with Lumiel.
“Master, I am impressed.”
“Impressed with what?”
“I was asking for permission from the Lord, even though I couldn’t get through to him, even though he said he was doing it for the good of his people, even though his people were in danger.”
“Well, that’s normal. That’s what a man in his position would do.”
“But Master mowed down the Lord’s entourage and saved the people without any questions asked.”
“Because I have no position.”
“Your position doesn’t matter. Even if Master was a Knight Commander, you would have done the same.”
That may be so. I would have done that.
“…… At that time, the lives of the people were more important than the position, the law, or any of that.”
“That is true.”
“Master, I may have lost sight of what’s really important.”
“Lumiel, I am glad that you were able to realize something.”
However, Lumiel is unaware of the true nature of the situation.
I’m strong anyway. That’s why I can do it freely.
And Lumiel is still weak. It is inevitable that she couldn’t go on by herself.
“Yes, thank you. It’s all thanks to you, Master.”
“…… It’s not because of me. You realized it on your own.”
“Thank you.”
And Lumiel bowed her head deeply.
