187-Episode 12: That Famous Dialogue
After defeating the necromancer, I was able to meet up with my dad and the others right away.
It seems that they had already reached the castle and were just purifying the undead in the castle.
'So it was Ark who defeated the necromancer?
Yes.
Good job.
Leila did a great job!
Good, good, good, Leila.
Apparently, his father had sensed the presence of the source of the problem too.
Or rather, did he know it all along?
Maybe that's why I told him to keep going for the castle.
'What's outside the castle?'
We're almost done.
Looking from the castle's balcony, it seemed that the battle was indeed all but over.
The dead were no longer turning into new undead, and the soldiers would take care of the rest.
The undead chimera in the courtyard has been defeated as well.
I don't know if it was my dad or if he destroyed himself because I defeated the necromancer.
The undead that were inside the castle were also swept away, and as I was about to leave the castle, the soldiers came running up to me.
They blocked our path, so we stopped in our tracks.
''Hm?''
A belatedly, a richly armed man came forward.
"Thanks for the help earlier. If it hadn't been for that, that chimera would have wiped us out.
What about you?
My name is Rahardt. I'm Rahardt, King of Edelheid.
He was the king.
Dad, I just said "you" or something like that.
I see. The necromancer who controlled the undead is defeated. I don't think there will be any more undead born in this world.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Even though it turns out he's a king, his father's attitude hasn't changed at all.
Well, it's just like him.
'Your Majesty, I have a report! Most of the troops have succeeded in subduing the enemy! If you ask, you'll be joined by a mysterious young man and a woman with red hair... oh.
Hmm, I'm not old enough to be a young man.
You're not...?
Then the king insisted on thanking him, but his father was adamant about it.
'I didn't do it for a reward, you know. Besides, I have to get to the Demon King's Castle as soon as possible.
What... are you trying to defeat the Demon King?
'Yeah. If there's someone else to beat me, that's fine.
The king seemed impressed.
'What a wonderful young man.... To be willing to risk everything to fight for humanity........
The main thing is training these two, though.
No, let's shut up about that........
'You're going to take a bunch of kids who aren't even that old!
Don't worry about it. Both of them are strong enough to take out the leaders of the Demon King's army.
But you haven't even given your blessing yet...
Don't worry about it, Grandpa! Leila, you're so strong!
Hey, Leila!
How can you call the king an uncle?
The people under my command only smiled bitterly and did not seem to blame me.
And so we left the country, receiving a grand sendoff from them.
........Speaking of which, is that girl ok?
After that, he left right away, leaving it to a woman nearby....
I should have worried about him a little more like a man... or maybe I'm just embarrassed when a younger boy does it to me.
I wish I could have at least seen his face one last time.
'What's wrong, Ark? Just zoned out?
Hey, it's nothing.
?
We've finally arrived at the Demon King's Castle.
........Normally, the defeat of the Demon King would be a challenge for the brave men and women to take on together with their friends who have overcome many ordeals together, right?
We're just one of those families that's in an awful lot of trouble.
Besides, me and Leila are only eight years old.
No, there's a Drue 5....
We're just twins, so I guess I should think of it like that....
Anyway, we rushed into the Demon King's Castle.
On the way, when we were surrounded by a horde of demons and monsters, my father summoned his followers.
Yes, it's really like Drue 5.
The lineup of those demons are Behemoth, Leviathan, Phoenix, Advanced Demon, Gratney Slime, and the demons that you can join at the end of the story, all raised to level 99.
They alone kicked off the horde, and we easily made it to the Demon King.
They are called demons, and are not that different from humans in appearance.
It's a bit like a large human body, and if your skin isn't red, you might not be able to distinguish it from a human.
Have we met somewhere?
No, it can't be!
When his father asked, the Demon King did his best to deny it, as if he was impatient for some reason.
''More importantly, I never thought you would show such power against my Demon King's army. You are too good to kill. What do you think? Why don't you come work for me? If you come under my command, I'll give you half the world.
Ooh, that famous line is out!
No, I don't want the world.
Dad's answer was immediate.
Wouldn't he normally be a little more worried...?
Oh, right. Then you will die here!
The Demon King shouted and released his power.
Normally, the Demon King isn't something you can defeat on your own, right?
Well, is there something wrong with the father who "altered" himself into twenty men?
It's not like Tenpyo, where the battle power is not split.
Anyway, this is how we succeeded in defeating the Demon King.
