Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

660 Formerly The Strongest, Know Only A Little About The Devil

Soma, who defeated the Safe Demon, exhaled one breath.

Again, it's no big deal compared to Arre, plus Soma is more powerful than it was back then.

It was only natural that we never had to struggle.

Nevertheless, that is also because Soma was the opponent.

If it were normal, it would be a fuss.

I don't know what the power of the Holy Capital is... but it wouldn't have been strange if it hadn't been for Soma to have done so much damage.

Even though there are the Virgin and the Holy Knights, we do not know if we were able to respond immediately.

Why did such a thing suddenly appear here?

That would have been the best thing if I could ask him, but he didn't seem to have any kind of consciousness.

There is only such a thing as an impulse to destroy, and that's why we just defeated it.

"Hmm... don't you have to worry about the details though"

Anyway, there are people here who will get answers.

If you really care, you just have to ask later.

So far, I don't intend to.

Whatever this has to do with us, this is what happened in the Holy City.

Shouldn't go too deep.

Looking back at the Hildegards with that in mind, Ingrid looked at this one with an indescribable face for some reason.

It is a mixed expression of confusion, suspicion and various emotions, but Soma walks over to you tilting her neck without knowing why she is being seen with such a face.

"Hmm... what is wrong with you? I said something."

"... right, I do have a heap of things to say... let's stop it. You're rude enough to do that to your benefactor."

"Benefactor, is it?

"Well, if the array was raging like that, it wouldn't be what I found out how much damage was going on here. In that sense, you would certainly be a benefactor."

"That's the thing. As one of the Holy Knights who defends this city, I thank you. Thank you, thank you."

It's just a accomplishment, but if you look only at the facts, you're certainly right.

I thought a little and shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't remember doing so much... well, you're welcome."

"I guess I should really give you a solid thank you, but Hate and I are just one of the holy knights at heart. Know what I can do… No, let the Virgin know…"

"Uh, no, that's fine because it's really not a big deal. More than that... well, if you want to thank me, can I talk to you about that earlier? He said he was possessed by the devil?

I'm not going to fit deep, but I'm worried.

I know it's a problem to talk to you directly, but if you want to listen to me here for a little while, there's no problem.

"I don't mind that... is that enough?

"I'm sure it's about what I did."

"Exactly, I think that's too humble, but to be honest, I was wondering about that too."

"Hmmm... but we don't really know..."

What was said and told was something that I certainly don't think I understand very well.

But the information you get is at least better than not knowing anything.

"Hmm… a mighty being possessed by a person, who has appeared for about a year or two"

"I guess the fact that only the Virgin can handle it means literally, not in a warrior sense. From what I've seen, my soul was almost assimilated, and without special skills, I'd be able to handle it. Unless, of course, you consider the lives of the subjects you possess."

"... When demon possession had just appeared, I had to stop and did that. No... if there's still something like showing up in two places at the same time, one of them will have to."

"Well, we can't just leave it alone and scale up the damage. By the way, the devil possessor doesn't sound so rare from the way you say it. At least it's only been confirmed about once or twice before, isn't it?

"No, it's not uncommon, because it's like once a month. But it's true that it's been confirmed a few times already... what's wrong with that?

"Would you have been strangely surprised earlier? I wondered why."

Once a month, it is certainly rare, but it was hard to say how Ingrid looked earlier as if something impossible had happened.

But as far as listening, even rarely, shouldn't be that surprising.

"Oh...... I see. That's true... but the devil possesses never appeared in the Holy City before. No, on the contrary, it wasn't supposed to show up."

"It shouldn't show up, is it?

"Oh, because the Virgin said so."

"Hmm..."

Virgin is the fifth king - that is, it goes without saying now that Eleonora's alias is called, because she is the head of Holy Divinity and the spokesperson for God.

That's exactly what they say, but... the Somas have just confirmed with their own eyes that their God actually exists.

Then you should think you're actually right.

In other words, the word is the word of God, and it should be true.

And yet something happened that overshadowed it.

"Something unexpected happened... no, it's not"

"Um, I guess not. At least at that point, you were right."

But now it's not anymore.

It is natural to think so.

"... well, that's not what we think."

"Right. This is what we need to do. Until now, all demon possessions have appeared near the Holy City, and I have never heard of demon possessions appearing or anything similar happening elsewhere. Then there's a good chance that the Holy City is involved, and we'll have to do something about it."

Those eyes were looking straight ahead, telling him that he didn't need the help of the Somas.

That attitude is preferred and the mouth of the soma naturally looses.

"Hmm, well, I just wanted to say... Hildegard"

"Yeah? What is it?

"One thing I'd like to ask you... Was that really 'the devil' earlier?

"Oh, I see what you want to hear... well, you're probably right."

"Hmmm... is it still"

It is common that some places may be called by different names, even if they are the same.

That is… apparently what is called the devil and what Somas call the demon god are likely to be the same.

And Soma is somewhat but marginally connected to the existence of a demon god.

Well, I knocked things down then... but when this happens, I can't say enough that it has nothing to do with that time.

And if you're involved, you can't leave me alone.

Demon King... No, the former Demon King must have definitely destroyed it, but somehow it was something that Soma's body was involved in.

I may need to look into it somewhat.

"What is it though..."

"Well, you can't just ask me that. Candle. Whatever you think, they'll drag you straight in. Candlestick. Let's just go around the tunnel and talk a lot."

"I don't know what's bothering you... but I'd work with you if I were you? The earlier level of information would still be insufficient as a price."

"I appreciate that... no, surely the quickest way to hear from the Holy Knight? - So you're not coming, are you?

"- Oh, that's a shame. I was wondering if I could help you around the corner."

"-!?

To the voice I heard, Ingrid turned his gaze in dismay.

That's probably in a double sense.

That you didn't realize that the person showed up there.

And...

"Let, Virgin......!?

Its presence stood there with a grin as it responded to its astonishing voice.
