I don't want to be a heroic spirit

I'm...looking forward to it?

Alice was stunned.

Nero didn't explain much and stepped on the window frame.

Then, holding Alice, whose eyes were gradually widening, with a little force on her calves, she jumped into the embrace of the night.

Above your head are the bright stars, surrounded by the quiet night, and underneath you are the warm lights.

Alice, who was curled up in Nero's arms, had a very bright smile on her face.

Chapter 239 The big devil with no cards

The location of the battlefield is in the south of the royal capital.

Although the Demon King's Army was particularly active tonight for some reason and launched two waves of attacks in succession, the experienced knights and adventurers quickly organized a defense line and started a battle with the Demon King's Army.

Although it is a demon king's army, most of them are imps and kobolds who are not even lower-level demons. It can be said that they are the most standard miscellaneous soldiers. They have no advantages except their large number.

Even in the original work, even Kazuma, the weakest adventurer with low attribute values ​​except for his luck value, looked down upon these soldiers...and then Kazuma was killed by these "miscellaneous soldiers" I went to the goddess once to report it.

These miscellaneous soldiers are not threatening, and there is no weak warrior that can be summoned by the royal capital. It can be said that it is easy to deal with these monsters in the novice village.

However, there is a place on this battlefield that many adventurers and even knights are avoiding.

"Who the hell is that guy?"

"What a terrifying appearance...it must be a big devil, right?"

"Are the Demon King's Army finally serious this time? They even sent out the big demon..."

Such words were everywhere, and a heavy atmosphere permeated the battlefield.

The reason why many knights and adventurers are avoiding that small battlefield is because there is a very huge figure there.

Horns, bat-like wings, a snake's tail, sheep's hooves, and eight scarlet eyes like a spider.

"Ants! Tremble under my majesty! I am the demon who leads the demon king's army to attack the royal capital - Balzac!"

As he spoke, the horned demon swung his muscular arm and slapped the wall in front of him composed of a row of knights holding tower shields.

"Bang!"

Several knights failed to withstand the impact and were knocked away. Several other tower shield knights also didn't look good.

"Knights quickly take up positions! Magicians! Prepare to attack with magic!"

Claire's voice sounded from behind the knights, her tone equally solemn.

"Listen to my command! Aim at the big devil! Fire!"

The next moment, several fireballs, ice picks, and lightsabers gathered together and collided with the body of the horned demon Balzac.

"Wow——!!"

Such screams sounded from the explosion.

"Did you defeat him?"

"How is that possible? Look at that ghost-like body. He must be a cadre-level figure in the Demon King's army. Even if you say he is the Demon King, I believe it. How could such a terrible guy be eliminated by a few magics?"

"Yeah...too? Then what should we do?"

"We can only delay. Demon Swordsman Kyoya Kyoya is already rushing here as much as possible. If it is him, it should be possible to defeat this big demon, right?"

"Sword-sword Xiangye? Is he the legendary demon swordsman who slaughtered the ancient dragon? Indeed, he may be the only one who can fight this great demon."

Claire, who was standing behind the knights, also didn't think that the horned demon could die so easily. Her eyes were fixed on the big pit filled with smoke and dust.

When the figure of the horned devil emerged from the smoke, Claire's expression became more solemn.

"Are you unscathed? When did such a powerful guy appear in the Demon King's army? We don't have any news at all..."

And in the smoke and dust, Balzac, the bull-horned demon, also had an idea.

"Fuck nmd! It hurts! It hurts so much! That old bitch of the Demon King actually asked me to do such a dangerous thing! Damn it... I just want to show off and fish!"

"My family, who knows! I'm not actually a big devil at all, I'm just a noob. I don't like fighting and killing. My hobbies are just fishing and feeding cats. But in order to appear less easy to bully me Use all your strength on your domineering side The body and the momentum were strengthened, and I even thought that the original name was not domineering enough, so I called out a name like "Balzac". Who knew that these guys were not intimidated at all? No, no, I'm really going to keep fighting! He’s going to die! He needs to oil his feet and get out immediately!”

"But... wouldn't it be too embarrassing to just run away? And that old devil lamp will definitely use this as an excuse to deduct bonuses! I heard that a super handsome fishing rod appeared in Axel City, I've been craving for it for a long time Oh! Even for that fishing rod, I can’t let that old guy just steal my bonus!”

"Hmm... Then, just say a few cruel words, and then use summoning magic to summon a few monsters to come to my rear, eh! Perfect!"

Having made up his mind, the horned demon cleared his throat and shouted in a majestic voice: "Ants! Despair! Under my black wings! The dawn will never rise!"

Um! This line is so cool... the horned devil couldn't help but think so.

"I want to crush you to death! Like an ant! You can't even get me excited! So, let me find you a worthy opponent! Show up! My minions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, magic arrays appeared next to the horned demon.

"It's a summoning magic circle! Everyone, be careful!"

When the light of the magic circle dissipated, several more monsters appeared, making many people's faces become even more ugly.

"Damn it...has another monster appeared?"

"Think on the bright side...at least the big demon won't do it himself anymore, right? We just need to deal with the new monsters that appear."

"It's so irritating! That big devil... actually looks down on us!"

"That's not looking down upon, right? He's just telling the truth. We are no match for him at all. Probably only Mr. Edgeworth can fight against him, right?"

After using the remaining magic power to summon several monsters, the horned demon thought about retreating.

"Hmm... let these summoned monsters attract attention when the time comes, and I will take the opportunity to run away, so these monsters cannot be too weak, the plan is perfect! Where can I go to fish and relax after I successfully escape... "

The horned devil has already begun to plan for the future, feeling very happy.

At this moment, the people around started commotion again.

"Huh? Did something fly over?"

"It seems so...meteor?"

"It doesn't look like it...it seems like a person?"

"No, I look like two people."

"Wait a minute? It seems to be flying this way?"

What the hell? It's both a meteor and a human being...

The horned demon raised his head curiously, and then...

His body was cut in half by an incoming sword light.

What flew out from the fracture was not blood, but pieces of bright red rose petals.

Hundreds of bright red petals ride on the breeze, voluntarily serving as the background image to highlight the girl's beauty.

The skirt is fluttering and she stands with a sword. Two contradictory temperaments, delicate and heroic, appear simultaneously on a young girl.

"Yu—appears! Mmm!"

Chapter 240 Leadership Temperament

The battlefield that was originally filled with shouts of killing suddenly became much quieter.

It was entirely because of that little girl who suddenly broke into the battlefield.

Nero hugged Alice with one hand, put down the red-black sword with the other hand, reached out to grab a handful of flying petals, and then waved it out, his whole person confident and dazzling.

"Yu—appears! Mmm!"

Nero's appearance shocked everyone... just because behind her lay the body of the horned demon.

A few people were so frightened that they forgot that they were still fighting and put down their weapons in a daze.

There was even a magician. After chanting the spell, his attention was completely attracted by Nero. As a result, the magic he cast blasted away his own people.

Claire was naturally shocked by the scene in front of her... But what shocked her was not Nero's appearance and the big demon who was hacked to death by her sword, but...

"Your Highness Alice——!!!"

The voice was shrill, the face was pale, and the eyes were bloodshot...it looked like Claire was quite frightened.

"Hmm?"

Nero looked towards the source of the sound, and then he saw the furious Claire, and his eyes lit up.

"Isn't this the very appetizing female knight? What a coincidence that you are here too?"

Saying these words, Nero stepped dozens of meters in one step and came to Claire.

"You guy! You are really interested in Your Highness Alice..."

"It just so happens that I still have some things to do. Your loyalty to the princess is visible to Yu. It deserves praise! It must be safe enough for her to stay with you. The future emperor of this country, please wait a moment for Yu. Yu is very Come back soon."

The following words were naturally meant for Alice, and immediately, Nero's legs slightly bent, and he jumped into the sky under the shocked gazes of several people.

Although her height was more like "flying" than "jumping".

"...What on earth is she here for?" Claire asked the doubt in her heart.

When she saw the other party appearing with Alice in his arms, Claire originally thought that the other party was a thief trying to kidnap Alice. However, the other party killed the very powerful demon as soon as he appeared, and now let Her Royal Highness Alice Stay here.

Thinking about the strength Nero showed when she killed the big demon, although it was very annoying... But Claire also had to admit that if the other party really insisted on kidnapping Alice, they might not be able to stop her. live?

"Your Highness Alice, why did Nero bring you out?"

Claire asked Alice directly.

"Uh...this...is actually because..."

"I want to come to the battlefield but don't know where it is, so I want you, Alice, to show her the way?"

After listening to Alice's explanation, Claire's expression became extremely weird, similar to the expression you would have when you wake up in the morning and find that your waistband is missing after having a very real dream about eating noodles.

"There are so many people in the castle, but she just asks her about you, the princess? Even if she is going to the street, can anyone on the street give her directions? And why does she have to bring you out, the princess?" ! Doesn’t she know that the battlefield is dangerous?”

Alice didn't tell Claire everything, just like...what Nero said.

"But your charming eyes, which are as beautiful as gems, are shining... You are obviously looking forward to it."

No one noticed that there was a very slight movement on the body of the horned demon.

"Wuwuwu... I spent a lot of energy to create this body, what exactly is that woman? A demon?"

A very petite figure crawled out of the body of the bull-horned demon, looking like she was about to cry.

"I... I... I just wanted to raise money to buy a fishing rod... Why did I have to go through such a terrible thing... Wuwawawa!"

"Damn... that woman, I will remember this grudge!"

"Don't think you've won just like that!"

With a bit of crying, the petite figure with two small black wings on her back disappeared from the battlefield.

After leaving Alice and Claire, Nero jumped directly onto the high wall.

From here, Nero can see the entire battlefield.

"Warriors!"

The cold wind blew up Nero's skirt, and Nero raised his head and chest, and his voice was carried far away by the wind.

Everyone on the battlefield heard Nero's shout clearly.

"My name is Nero! Nero Claudius! I am the emperor of Rome!"

"Brave warriors! I am attracted by your figures, and I am so moved that I can't take my eyes off you!"

Nero raised his hand.

"You all stand on this battlefield with your own wishes and desires! Those who are greedy for wealth! Those who are honing their skills! Those who are seeking status! Those who protect others! Now let your wishes become a stream!"

The light particles gathered in Nero's hands and turned into a red and black sword that was held in his hands and raised high.

The name of the sword is "Original Fire", which is a weapon forged by Nero himself.

In a Holy Grail War, Nero even used this sword to cut off Gawain's Holy Sword of the Sun.

"I stand here as an emperor! I will take in all the shining figures of you fighting bravely! So——!"
