"Oh my God, who would do this...."
The Holy Empire in the area of central and eastern Greece.
The woodland, which would normally be quiet without human traffic, was buzzing.
It wasn't for any other reason.
'All the criminals are like this.'
It's good that they came to find the kidnapped saint, but the kidnappers were all down. One was bleeding from his forehead, while the other two were stunned with bubbles in their mouths.
All of them, despite their class differences, were clearly formal paladins.
I thought it would be tricky to catch the kidnapper as a paladin, but who the hell is doing this?
"Taya."
"...."
The sight of an infant laughing alone among the fallen kidnappers is truly bizarre.
Soon, the eyes of the nervous search party turned to the military doctor.
"What do you think?"
"I need to investigate further, but two of the perpetrators are in disarray, and one has a complete skull. With this level of power, it must be the work of at least six level masters."
That stunned the search party.
A hero-level realm where you can turn a kingdom into a sagebrush by yourself if you are in the sixth order.
"Aren't you a high-level person in the sixth rank!"
"But who the hell...."
"Taya."
"...."
With another babble, the search party could only look at the Skeleton King.
All that's here are the fallen kidnappers and the infant child.
Finally, someone who swallowed carefully opened their mouth.
"Hey, maybe Confucius made the kidnappers like this..."
"Nong is overkill. No matter how much it makes sense...!"
But the military doctor said it might really be the case.
"Judging from their scars, it seems that they have been subjected to a powerful sexual law. But I can feel it in him."
"Then really Confucius?"
"Yes, it could be a saint. Maybe it's the sixth order
"Such a high-ranking sex law?"
At the military doctor's words, everyone swallowed and looked at the Skeleton King, but he was sweating.
'No, I've never used it.'
In the first place, this is not a sex law, it is just a first-order basic magic... yes, so it's the lighting magic you put in the wagon. Smashing the head is not a destructive technique, just smashing ....
Damn, I don't know.
Why the hell do you think magic is a sex law?
'Is the saint's sexual power too strong to cover the aura of magic?'
After all, the first-order lower art method does not have the power of the higher level art method.
I think I was mistaken about something, but it was good anyway.
For the current Skeleton King, the most important thing was survival for the first and survival for the second.
Because of the place where you can hide from the eyes of the gods. Once he felt comfortable> he had to collect magic to use magic his < stomach.
And it's good that the searchers quickly found him as he intended...
'Why did the Imperial Knights come looking for you?'
Although he wears a modest cloak, there is no way he does not know the uniform of the imperial knight of the Holy Empire.
Not even ordinary articles.
'Advanced paladins.'
Advanced paladins were those who had special combat abilities in the human camp. And that's probably an important weapon of the human camp.
Well, in other words,
'If it was a high magic level, I would have known what kind of bastards they were, even if they were far away.'
Others may have liked that they were advanced paladins who killed demons, but the Skeleton King hated them.
For what? Because it's a natural enemy?
No, the Skeleton King was the leader of the Demon Faction, where humans were terrified. He wasn't just to fear the Paladins.
But.
'The naughty bastards who only summoned a skeleton for the Ziddle graduation exam.'
If you want to take the practical test with the
'Why are you calling me to the Ziddle area?'
And there are many of them who are better than skeletons, so why are they only killing helpless skeletons!
The priests still have a good conscience, or if they chase them, they run away.
The paladins only have muscles in their heads, so the muscleless skeleton looks formidable.
They were damn bastards who tried to destroy their very existence by somehow smashing the magic core.
After all, the Skeleton King survived every time he was kidnapped, so he was summoned to the graduation exam thousands of times.
'Do you know how long it takes to get home from the Holy Empire?'
It's up to me to summon them and walk thousands of miles back!
I even remember calling them out every time they evolved, trampling on the young shoots very evenly in return.
Had he actually become a demon lord once?
There was a time when young skeletons were whimpering and were so eager to resurrect them.
But I didn't get tired of it, and I summoned it again.
- Are bones so formidable, bastards!
As a result, he was annoyed and deliberately summoned to the graduation examination hall, turning the cadets' graduation examination hall into a hellish father.
Well, after I told the Pope at the time, "If our kids take the graduation exam, then everyone will pull out the skin," it seems that they were completely wiped out of the graduation exam, but that's all a thing of the past.
After all, the Skeleton King could not be very fond of the clergy.
And I originally hated these things, but now I just got a reason why I hated them.
Whoops! Whoops!
'Damn, how long are these bastards going to starve him?'
I was hungry.
I was so hungry that I felt like I was going to die.
In the end, the impatient Skeleton King put a blood pole around his neck, as if he was going to die.
"It's a precious camouflage that has been in hundreds of years! If it breaks through, you'll be responsible, you bastards!"
The Skeleton King flew a lion in anger.
"Taya! Taya!"
Then the quick-witted paladins nodded as if they knew right away.
"Understood, Confucius. You don't have to fuss like that, you'll see it soon."
Look at? What?
Bob? Meat? A dinner with a broken upper leg?
"Ugh! We've prepared a particularly rare rattle!"
"Come on! Look here, rattle!"
"Ah, Confucius. The corners of your mouth twitch. I think you like the rattle! Rumble peekaboo!"
The Skull King's cheeks twitched.
When he grew up, he thought he would get rid of them first.
* * *
The Skeleton King dreamed after hundreds of years.
It was a dream to grind all the damn priests and gods, and to eat this country as his own.
And it's good that I woke up enjoying the sleep I've wanted to sleep like that for hundreds of years.
"I'm sure. It was Confucius who handled the wizard."
Wizard?
What a.
When I woke up, I saw that the Imperial Knights were having a strange flirtation.
"I thought it was strange, but there were actually traces of the use of magic > the Seventh Order Aha. Apparently, the kidnapper was under investigation. And he seems to have reasoned that the wizard has finally appeared from his own spellings. Out of nowhere, I'd never used such advanced magic there, so I wondered what it sounded like. "Otherwise, the grass and trees wouldn't dry up that way." I said something. Had he mistaken magic exploitation for vampirism? Well, magic exploitation is a unique magic that only the Skeleton King has. Even the surrounding area was mistaken for a vampire. So I understand your confusion, but as a senior clergyman, I will quickly catch that much error... "If < vampire > magic, is it also Black Angel? The seventh rank mage of the Demon Empire." "Well, vampirism is that filthy bastard's specialty." No, you bastards. It's not magic, it's basic magic absorption, isn't it? Isn't that kind of advanced magic? "Still, the prophecy of the birth of a saint has spread throughout other countries. Obviously, the Madō Empire is the nemesis of the Holy Empire, so it must have targeted Confucius. Dirty bastards." "So Confucius expelled the kidnappers and even the mages of the Demon Empire?" No, whether it's a black angel or a black party, you've never been here? "Oh my God, I must tell Your Majesty right away. He even expelled the nemesis of the Holy Empire. He will be a great treasure to the nation." What the hell is that wizard guilty of! Well, it was good. "Confucius, you have arrived home!" Embraced by the paladins, they arrived at a luxurious mansion. Although it was a mansion in a nearby village, the gardens were gorgeous, and there was a subtle divine power everywhere. 'I don't think it's the main house. Is it a villa owned by Eshua?' Above all, the Skeleton King could find out a lot from the paladins' conversations. The first thing he wanted to know was his situation. - When is it now? 'I don't think it's been a long time since I was sealed.' Roughly, it is said that the Skeleton King, the worst demon king in the world of succession, fought against the gods and lost, and peace came to the gods. It was said that the Demon Clan faction was in a state of confusion due to the absence of the Demon King. The Pope is also closely watching the movements of the demon tribe. In such a situation, Well, if it is a demon king, there are many guys who will chase after him, but... 'Once you find out who the Pope is, it's really annoying.' The Skeleton King and the popes were originally close friends, but the Pope was the only one connected to God above all else. And what if you get caught by a bastard? 'They are extinguished by personal grudges or, at worst, taken away by the gods. Then it's over.' Of course, it won't be easy. This time, I got a body that could overwhelm them. If he were himself, he could grow this body to his liking and surpass even the supreme gods. So much so that when the gods realize this, they think it's ruined. The problem is that this side, which is still an infant, is the absolute weak until it builds strength. But even that will be solved if the original power is restored. 'Let's call out our subordinates first.' If you received the magic core through your subordinates, it was a piece of cake to raise the magic level. Moreover, in this lifetime, he had no intention of mastering magic. 'Magic and sexual law are mutually exclusive forces that can never coexist.' By analogy, it was the strongest spear and the strongest shield. But what if you could use both powers? 'Even the absolute defensive wall that they are smug about can just come and go freely.' Why would the Skeleton King be beaten by the gods? It was partly because they were undead vulnerable to divine powers, but above all because of the divine system that made the divine realm impregnable. The entry condition for the divine realm is those who have divine power. In the first place, no matter how strong it was, it could not even approach it, so it was a problem. But what if it's the body of a saint? 'You can enter and exit the master bedroom of the gods without any inspection.' But what if he even had magical powers in him that could kill the gods instantly? 'Somewhere's the angel in the family, come down, I'll assassinate you!' The corners of the Skull King's mouth giggled. 'I'll get rid of this country of clergy from within.' What kind of expression will he look like when he sees that Jiddle is playing and eating thanks to Jiddle and using the power of the God Realm! 'Well, you just have to watch out for the temple for the time being.' It's the home of dirty clergy. The temple was where the most sensitive people were gathered, and all kinds of killing tools were available to dispose of the demon tribe. So be careful. No matter how much he was reincarnated in the body of a saint, he was mentally distressed. Therefore, the eyes of the Skeleton King entering the luxurious mansion satisfactorily drew a crescent moon. 'This place smells rich, it's the best.' Here, he would be able to summon his subordinates leisurely without the risk of being caught. He was the Skeleton King who hated the Paladins to death, but he was still the one who brought him here. In this lifetime, you don't have to hate them. 'Yes. This is enough for paladins to use, and pretty guys....' Guys who will corrupt them in the future and turn them into meat shields.... However, soon the skeleton king's expression changed when he realized the identity of the mansion. '! Why is it a temple and not a house?!' Did. The mansion where the paladins arrived was not a villa but a temple! The garden was luxurious, so I thought it was a nobleman's mansion, but it turned out to be a private shrine built by a nobleman. Indeed, as we passed through the garden, the luxurious but familiar architecture of the temple was revealed. Because of this, the Skeleton King shuddered at the sight of the paladins dying in delight with him. It's home! 'Are these paladins trying to assassinate me?' < camouflage> dragged me to the temple before I could use magic! After the assassin nanny, is it an assassination room this time! "If it is a temple, it will be of great help to Confucius, who already uses the Holy Law." "You will be recognized as a saint." The saint is good, but the temple is good?! 'Damn it. The temple is still a bit dangerous.' Of course, he was going to become a saint in the future and take revenge. As such, the temple is a place where you must get to know each other, but the problem is that you can't get to know each other. After all, the temple is a place where magic cannot exist. 'Divine power rejects magic.' And the load? Without magic in the first place, how could it be summoned! 'Damn, even if there were only magic in the temple, I wouldn't worry about this.' But that was then. "!" I felt a familiar power around me. 'Horsepower?' The Skeleton King had a twinkle in his eye. Does having magic change the story?
