The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

79 – The Wizard of Gale and Fury (8)

“What is this again?”

“Well, I guess a group of adventurers, including a wizard, visited.”

Hiding next to a wall with a gaping hole, I slightly stuck my head out and looked outside.

“Ac!”

However, the attack magic was flying so fast that I couldn’t even see it properly and had to hide again.

[Come out now! Come out!]

After that, a loudspeaker spells out.

“You must come out.”

But the devil just shrugged his shoulders.

I peeked my head out again and looked at the situation inside the castle.

All the orcs on the castle wall are crouching for cover, and the monsters working in the courtyard don’t appear to have evacuated either.

Judging by the speed with which they moved, it appears that this was not the first time this happened, just as the Demon King said.

“But you’re not going to fight back? “What if everyone hides?”

“The monsters don’t want to die or get hurt, so they don’t even respond in most cases. Then, after a few days of sit-in, most of them go home because they’re hungry.”

“I see. But I think it’ll be a little different this time. He’s a wizard.”

A typical adventurer party would not be able to overcome the walls of the Demon King’s Castle, but a wizard could only fire attack magic from afar all day long.

Moreover, looking at the shattered outer wall, it doesn’t seem like there are any barriers in the castle.

“Oh, you mean that? Before the Demon King of Sentai was kicked out, he completely disarmed me just to be in trouble. I don’t know how to make it again.”

“You didn’t hand over the handover and even formatted the computer? This is a close-knit predecessor.”

“I don’t know what it means, but I know roughly what it means.”

“So what are you going to do about that? Are there any dragons here or anything with magic resistance?”

The attack magic entered the hole that shattered the balcony and shattered the chandelier on the ceiling.

“If there was, I would have sent it away a long time ago.”

As the Demon King smiled while dodging the chandelier fragments, I burst into laughter out of bewilderment.

That bastard is not the devil, but the head of a real abandoned dog shelter.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“We need to send out something else with magic resistance.”

“Baby. I said there wasn’t one earlier.”

Then the Demon King still looked at me with that gentle smile.

When I pointed my finger at him with some hesitation, the Demon King nodded his head.

“Isn’t there something among the elixirs and oils you have that neutralizes magical power?”

I fumbled with my tactical belt and luckily, there was some magic resistance oil.

“There is, but… So this is also considered a request?”

“Of course. Can I have fifty gold coins?”

I hurriedly took care of my facial expression after receiving an unexpected amount of money.

I have heard something like that.

It is said that gold coins are literally piled up like a mountain in the basement of the Demon King’s Castle.

It seems that the rumor is actually true.

Anyway, Wizard George asked for fifty gold coins in exchange for a huge request, so I immediately poured magic resistance oil from head to head.

And I asked the devil for one favor.

“Bring Bart here? Hmm, okay.”

As the Demon King’s left eye glowed red, a moment later, the rock troll Bart entered the office with a thumping sound.

“Hey, Bart. Come help me.”

I instructed Bart to do simple movements, and the smart Bart learned them right away.

The Demon King who was listening next to him asked somewhat worriedly.

“Is that okay?”

“Of course, man. What are you thinking of me? Hurry! If you keep doing this, the whole castle will fall.”

Bart walked up to me and lifted me up.

Then, without giving me time to prepare, he suddenly threw me over the balcony.

The spire where the Demon King’s office is located is quite tall.

From there, it rose diagonally upward like a cannonball, and everything went down to the bottom.

It’s much higher than I thought.

I felt like my body would break if I fell like this, so I fumbled with my waist.

As soon as I took the elixir and did one shot, my body, which had reached the peak, began to quickly fall down.

Below, a small figure that appears to be a wizard is firing attack magic at the Demon Castle like a machine gun.

If you have that level of skill, you would at least be at the level of a magic university advisor.

A wizard like that suddenly appears here and attacks the Demon Castle without explaining any reason?

Is he by any chance a magician like Orleans?

The attack magic that was being fired at the Demon King’s Castle suddenly started flying towards me.

It seems the wizard found me falling from the sky relatedly.

I was hit directly by a blue attack spell, but the Qiratus armor blocked it and dispersed it.

The way Quiratus leather blocks magic is similar to the water-repellent coating on glass windows.

Minimizing damage to the wearer by breaking the magic into magic element units and sending them out as is.

After continuing to fall while scattering the attack magic, he landed on the ground a few meters away from the wizard.

I was just about to pull out the Nightrend when I saw the wizard’s face and shouted in surprise.

“Ornette?!”

As soon as our eyes met, Ornette’s face appeared extremely embarrassed.

“Sasa, sasasasa, sasa, secretary?!?!”

“Ornette? “What are you doing here?”

“Well, are you… Here… Huh… ?”

Ornette stuttered harshly, unlike usual.

I was also confused.

No matter how much I remember, there is no request for him to fulfill here.

And now I see that Ornette is carrying a bag.

There was nothing like that until we broke up earlier.

You couldn’t possibly have come on a picnic here when there is nothing but wasteland?

Really, what is that?

While observing closely, Ornette squealed.

“Why are you here?!”

“I have business to do in the Demon King’s Castle. The Demon King is my friend.”

“Chi, chichi, friend… ?”

“Okay. Explain it clearly. Why are you here and why did you attack the Demon Castle?”

“That can’t be possible… That human was in the Demon King’s Castle…? So, is that the human he was talking about?! No, that’s impossible… It can’t happen…”

However, Ornette did not answer my question and just muttered gibberish to herself like a crazy person.

“That was that person? Really? No no… Really don’t do this… You can’t do this… Why are you doing this to me… “

“Ornette. I don’t know what to say, but for now… Where are you going!!”

As I approached a few steps, Ornette opened a portal behind her and ran away.

I tried to follow him, but the portal disappeared in an instant.

Left alone, I could only stupidly scratch my head.

What is this situation?

At that time, another attack magic flew from somewhere and hit my chest hard.

As I stumbled and turned around, I saw five wizards on the other side pointing in my direction and shouting something excitedly among themselves.

What are those guys doing again?

As I paid attention to my hearing, I could gradually hear words like demon king and such.

Could it be that you mistook me for the devil?

“Hey! Stop shooting!”

But I could no longer approach the wizards.

This is because five wizards poured attack magic on me at the same time.

I already have a headache because of Ornette, but these things are really making me angry.

He pulled out the Nightrend and rushed towards the wizards.

* * * * *

A total of five wizards fell after being struck by the hilt of Nightrend’s sword.

There was one old man and the rest were all young.

It’s like an advisor and a graduate student.

Did you go on a northern tour with a group from some lab?

But what did these people do to come all the way here and catch the devil?

Wouldn’t it be great if it were an adventurer or someone like that, but why would a prosperous wizard be fooling around with a demon lord?

Let’s check it out.

“Wake up.”

He tapped the head of an old wizard who appeared to be a professor with his toe.

“Get up. I know you’re not dead. If you don’t get up, I’ll really kill you.”

“Ugh…”

At those words, the old wizard groaned and slowly raised his upper body.

I said as I held the nightrend to his neck.

“Blinking and moving through space is impossible. You will understand why without me saying it, right?”

The wizard, who had read the magic of the age trend, quickly nodded his head.

“From what you look like, you look like a professor somewhere?”

“I see, that’s right… He could be the Demon Lord… “

“Why did you come?”

He interrupted the wizard and asked another question.

The wizard looked at me and the Nightrend held around his neck, then opened his mouth in a whisper.

They are laboratory personnel at the University of Magic.

The person I stabbed at was my advisor and he had spent his entire life researching a mysterious substance that was said to be able to transmit the properties of all substances without any resistance at room temperature.

He seems like a crazy person. How could such a ridiculous substance exist in this world?

However, the professor did not give up and while traveling to the far north with his graduate students to search for clues, it is said that he happened to meet a wise man.

As soon as the wise man saw the professor, he asked him if he was looking for the mysterious substance, and he told him that an ancient document containing the recipe for the substance was stored right here in the basement of the Demon King’s Castle in Deser Arid.

Other graduate students doubted the statement, but for some reason the professor came this far, firmly believing the wise man’s words to be the immutable truth.

“A wise man? What kind of bullshit is that?”

“That’s not bullshit. He was a very wise, knowledgeable and respectable man I met in the city I stopped by before entering the wasteland.”

A wise man who met in the wilderness and spoke sweet words.

I think I saw something similar to this somewhere.

What is that, that… Isn’t it the temptation of the wilderness*?

If that’s the case, then that wise guy…

This smells very suspicious.
