Volume 1 Chapter 32 Defeating the Demonkin and the Informant
"But where are the Demonkin?"
Lis and the others walk through the forest, staying alert.
"Who was the original requester for this investigation?"
"It was a request from the country... By the way, I don't know about any witnesses."
Meanwhile, from a distance, the mage Zacomono mutters, "...Just wait and see. Lisbette is mine."
"Even the weak monsters in the forest aren't attacking, so it looks like we might finish this investigation without any problems."
Then, at that moment.
"Get back!"
A huge rock fell right in front of us.
"What!? Is it an enemy!?"
After that, large rocks continued to fall.
I clenched my fist and shattered them all.
"W-wow...! To break such a big rock with bare hands! As expected of Mr. Zeke!"
In front of us, a strange monster appeared.
It was about 2 meters tall.
It had horns on its forehead and 4 muscular arms.
"Hahaha! For a lowly human (monkey), there are some tough ones here...!"
"Who are you?"
"I am a [Superdemon]! I am one of the nobles of the Demonkin, a Baron-class Superdemon...!"
Lis and the others were completely intimidated by the Demonkin' appearance.
"Why are you scared? I heard that an S-rank party was coming, and I was really looking forward to it."
"Hey you. You sound like you knew Lis and the others were coming."
I stand in front of the demonkin with great strength to protect them.
"Where did you get that information?"
"Well, it doesn't matter to you if you die now, right? "
"That's what I should have said. I wanted to get the information first. Dead men tell no tales."
Twitch...!
The veins on the demon's forehead begin to pop out.
"...Don't get too cocky, you inferiors!"
The Superdemon pulls back his arm and punches at high speed.
"My deadly attack [Hundred-Fist Punches]! Be proud that you can die from it!"
"Wh-What's that? I see 100 arms!" "It's an afterimage!" "Mr. Zeke, run away...!"
"Hahaha! Die!"
Snap...!
"What?! What theeee?!"
I caught both arms of the Superdemon with my hands.
"W-What?! You took my hit head-on!"
"Your proud fists aren't that impressive."
"B-But I have 2 arms left! Die!"
I held onto the arms and activated Hand of God.
"[Erase Heal]"
Whoosh...!
And the Superdemon's arms vanished.
"What power is that!?"
Normally, Hand of God is a powerful technique that heals everything.
But against Demonkin, it becomes a force to destroy and kill the enemy.
"Aha, you're naive! Demonkin heal naturally much faster than humans! Losing an arm like that will heal quickly... Hmph! What!?"
The Superdemon's eyes widened as it looked at the lost arms.
"W-What!? It's not regenerating!? No way!?"
"I'm taking the remaining arms too."
I moved behind and touched the arm to activate Erase Heal.
Whoosh...!
And the arm flew away.
"D-Damn it! Hey, Zacomono! You didn't tell me there was such a monster here!"
The mage Zacomono said with a pale face.
"You idiot...! Shut up!"
"Y-you're the traitor?"
When I glared at him, Zacomono snorted and said,
"Yes! That's right! I'll have the Demonkin attack the party, and when they're in a state of complete annihilation, I'll rescue Lis. That's how I was going to get this woman's heart! But you're getting in the way!"
What a terrible plan.
I feel sick.
"Now let's join forces..."
"It's too late"
Bop...!
The Superdemon vanished from existence.
"What the heckkk?!"
"Wow...! He defeated the demon with one punch! " "As expected of Mr. Zeke!"
The party members are surprised.
"By adjusting the amount of magic, you can change the power of Hand of God."
I'm going to approach Zacomono.
"Eep...! Y-You-You! [Flame──"
"[Paralyze]"
Zacomono collapses on the spot with a thud.
"Zeke! You're doing great! You're truly my future darling♡"
Lis hugged me with a smile and kissed me on the cheek.
"...You lowlife. How dare you trick me!"
"N-No... It's your fault for not turning around!"
"Shut up, idiot! There's no way I'd like a worthless piece of trash like you!"
With a look of despair, Zacomono lowered his head.
