80 Those who bring the golden dawn (1/2)

Shenna the dancer

I walk down the underground canal with Novis on my shoulder.

'Hey Novis!　You don't have to be so attached to Miss Shenna!　Step back a little more!

Sizfe, walking warily behind him, complained to Novis.

Novis was so worn out from the battle that he couldn't even walk properly anymore.

Siszfe and his companions are also worn out, though not as much as Novis. His brother Decius is also worn out and is carrying a man who doesn't know who he is.

That's why I, who have the most energy left in me, have decided to lend him a shoulder.

Novis certainly gets in the throes and touches his chest in the midst of the hustle and bustle. But I can say that his hard work has saved my brother's life.

So, I'll forgive you a little touch.

''I don't mind, Mr. Sisyphe. I heard he did his best. It seems to be wearing out. It's nothing to worry about.

I defend Novice.

'As expected of you, Shenna, you're so kind! Or maybe it's Siszfe. Are you jealous?''

Novis leans over to hug me and laughs at Siszfe.

'Huh?　That can't be true!

It's a funny exchange.

And don't get your ass in the middle of the maelstrom.

Sisyphe is a warrior maiden consecrated by the goddess Raina. She's a very beautiful girl, so if you're interested in theater, I'd love to introduce her to Commander Midas.

And from her attitude, Novis seems to like Sizfe. He's happy to think that she's jealous of him.

But no matter how you look at it, it's counterproductive. If you want to make her jealous, if you flatter me, Sisyphe will leave you.

But Sisyphe doesn't seem to have any feelings for Novice, though.

From the tone of her voice, she's just worried about me.

'Shenna. Would you like me to trade him for Lord Novis?　He's lighter than me, you know.

I suggest that you trade Novice for the man your brother has been lending a shoulder to.

I don't know who the man your brother has on his shoulders is.

This man is awake but his eyes are empty. He hardly seems to be able to walk on his own.

Perhaps his mind is broken. I don't know who he is, but it would be better to take him to the temple of Lady Phanakea, the goddess of medicine and herbs.

'It's fine, brother. I'm not going to trade my brother for something that's too hard to do. ”No, he's a famous fire hero. I'm rather pleased to make his acquaintance.

I make a sales face and point it at Novis.

Compared to the muscular Novis, the man my brother has on his shoulders is very skinny. It's probably easier to carry than Novice.

But my brother is also worn out, even if not as much as Novice, so I can't replace him.

'Oh, Mr. Shenna!　I'd like to get to know you too, Shenna.

Novis looks happy with a smirk on his face. It's silly.

Probably Sisyphe behind me will have a dumbfounded look on his face.

I conclude that this is no good.

''I'm finally back~''

A sorceress girl named Maddy calls out. We were back at the entrance to the underground canal.

'Yeah?　There's something wrong with you.

A female warrior named Kayna says, coming up from the underground canal.

We follow.

'What is the meaning of this?　It was sunny when we came in!

The female priest, Leiria, is surprised to see the sky.

It was definitely sunny when I entered the underground canal. And now the sky is black and overcast, with wind blowing and thunderstorms.

Strange weather.

Besides, people are making some kind of noise.

'Guys!　Look at that!

We look in the direction that Nora the Elf pointed in.

'Lie ....... 'What the hell is that?'

It's very far from where we are, but we can see it clearly.

There are a lot of demons flying in the sky to the north. It's the end of the world.

That's why people are screaming.

Some are running around in a panic.

Some are crying out.

Some are praying to God.

Those who make their way to the city walls with swords at the ready.

People's reactions are different.

But no matter what you do, I don't think this is a situation that humans can do anything about.

''Are you saying that a demon is attacking us?''

Laylia looks up at the sky with an angry gaze. But her face is pale.

''It's a bit of a mess, isn't it?

Kayna says, trembling.

I know the feeling. It's probably the most realistic idea.

'Oh!'　But look at that!　Master Rage is here!

In the direction that Sisyphe pointed, someone shiny is flying in the sky.

That glowing person is confronting this country as if protecting it from demons.

''Indeed, it's the Lord Brave of Light, isn't it?''

My brother is right. That would be the Man of Light. I've met him once before.

I can see him clearly for some reason even though he's flying so far from this place.

''I don't know what it is, but let's go!

All of them nodded at Sizfe's words.

◆Chiyuki, the black-haired sage

That's what I'm talking about, Chiyuki-san. You've got him under control so easily.

Sahoko says to me as she flies over.

There's a badon below, stuck under my magical spell.

A huge, long, thin-bodied insect. That's Badon.

This Badon was defeated long ago by Alfos, the evil god and god of music who attacked the Republic of Ariadia.

However, Badon has been resurrected by possessing the body of the sorcerer Tarabos and is now ready to harm the land again.

I should have erased all of that when I defeated him before, but there's no point in saying that now. This time I'll make it go away properly.

Badon has awakened again and is about to go on a rampage. If I hadn't bound him with magic, he would have been in trouble.

People are panicking and running for cover when they see Badon.

I'll use my Disappearance Magic to make Badon invisible.

Now, this will make Badon's presence invisible to those with weak magical powers. The people around me will be calmed down.

It's good that you've made him immobile, but what shall we do now? I'd like to erase it completely so I can't revive it this time. But I can't use magic with a lot of firepower in the city. ......

Badon is quite a huge body. If we try to make it disappear completely, it's going to affect the surroundings.

We'll have to move it to a bigger place?

'Yes, Sirone. Reno, I'd like to carry you to the ocean, can you do that?

I ask Reno.

'Yeah, I'll try to figure it out,'

Badon floats in the air as Reno calls the wind spirit. Of course it rages, but my magic bindings can't be broken by that.

It seems that the god Alfoss couldn't use his firepower magic, but Reno and I can. I'll carry it to the ocean and use it as charcoal.

'Chiyuki-san!　Oh, my God!　I'm going to look at that!

Nao says, pointing to the north.

I can see quite a few demons in the direction that Nao pointed.

Among them you can also see the Dark Knight.

'Could it be that Kroki is coming?'

Shirone says as she glares at the crowd of demons.

''No, it looks like Sirone doesn't have a boyfriend.

I'm not your boyfriend. ......

Cyrone denies Nao's words in a whisper.

'Come to think of it, where is the Goddess of Moonlight? You don't seem to be here.

Sahoko is right. Come to think of it, he wasn't at the altar of Badon. Where is he?

'I wouldn't be interested if Kroki wasn't around either. I think I could handle that much on my own, Rage-kun.

Cyrone says, looking at the crowd of demons.

''Indeed it is. I think it's safe to leave it to one person, Rage-kun. ...... But there could be some damage to the citizens.

I'm not. Maybe I should be the one to go. Can I take care of this part?

You can see that the appearance of the demon is causing panic among the citizens of the entire Ariadia Republic.

Even if the demon doesn't attack, the confusion is likely to cause damage.

''I understand, Chiyuki-san. Reno-chan and I will take care of this place, please reassure the people of the citizens.

Cyrone and Reno nodded.

The two of them then carried the badon in the air towards Ariad Bay.

On the ocean, they would be able to erase it without causing any damage to the surroundings.

Would Mr. Sahoko please go to the Temple of Phanakea, just in case?

I said and Sahoko nodded.

The Temple of Phanakea is the hospital of this world. Sahoko, who is good at healing magic, will have to go there.

'Will you come with me, Nao-san?'

Okay.

Me and Nao head over to Reiji's place.

'What's the situation, Rage-kun?'

I come over to Reige's side and ask.

'Chiyuki and Nao?'　I was chasing after Ulvald when I got a side note. And I'm just pausing for a moment.

Rage says, pointing his sword at his opponent.

There is a dark knight at the end of the sword.

It is not the dark knight of Cyrone's childhood friend.

He is not wearing a helmet, so I can see his face. I've met him once in Nargol. As I recall, it's a guy called Lanfeld or something like that.

Lanfeld is standing on top of the thunder dragon and staring at me.

''What does he want?''

I don't know, but he's on the move. But he's gonna do it, so back off, both of you.

'There are so many of them. Don't you need help?

He wants a one-man battle. We'll be fine.

Rage is right. The demons behind me step back, leaving Lanfeld behind.

'Looks like it. Let's move back, Nao-san. But if the demons are coming towards Ariadia, we'll move.'

Yeah, I'll let you know.

Rage's face has a spare look on it.

I'm not particularly worried about it either. Rage has gotten stronger since then.

I remind myself that Rage and Shirone were practicing their swords.

A genius who didn't make an effort is making an effort. Perhaps no one can match Rage anymore.

So I'm not worried about Rage.

I'm more worried that the demons won't turn on Ariadia.

I'm not sure if I should kick them off with magic first, but in the end I decide to back off.

Nao and I leave Rage and head to the outermost ramparts of the Ariadia Republic.

When I look over the city walls, I see General Krasus and his men there. They must have rushed there in a hurry because of the demon's arrival.

And it looks like Kyouka and Kaya have Regina with them there as well. The girls must have heard the commotion and rushed over too.

Me and Nao go down there.

''Um, Chiyuki-dono. Is our country safe?''

General Krasz asks anxiously.

''I think it will be fine. I don't think you'll lose that much, Rage. And we'll be there for you. Isn't that right, Kyouka-san and Kaya-san?

I look at them.

'Yes, we'll make a move if we have to. Isn't that right Kaya?

Yes, Miss.

Kyouka says with her heart and Kaya agrees.

Kaya, as well as Kyouka, will be able to rely on him as his magic is improving.

'General Krasus!　What kind of situation is this?!

Where we are, there will be someone coming for us. It's Decius. With Sisyphe and the others in the back. And then they have a woman in the form of a dancer.

I believe she's Miss Shenna? Why are you here?

'This is Lord Decius. A demon has attacked us. However, the brave men of light are taking care of it, so there is no need to worry about it. Isn't that right, Chiyuki-dono?

Krasz looks at me.

'Yes, it will be fine. And it's not like he's gone.

”He?

It was Sisyphe who said that.

I realize that I slipped up.

''With him, I mean the Dark Knight who defeated Rage-sama before. If it was anyone other than that dark knight, he wouldn't be an enemy of Rage-sama.

Kaya responds for me.

'Is there someone like that?'

Sisyphe says with concern.

'Yes, I believe you have already met them, gentlemen.

What?

All of Sizefe and the others make strange faces.

''Chiyuki-san!　It's starting!

Nao suddenly speaks up.
