Chapter 22 (2/2)

I chanted the magic instinctively, and blocked the chop.

「Mu! You were a defense magic user huh. Then, how about this?」

Balthazar reaches out his hand. This time, magic flew. It was a beam-like, flame magic.

「Magic s.h.i.+eld!」

I used magic again and blocked it.

*Parin* the s.h.i.+eld shattered with a sound.

「You’re pretty good for a brat. Using magic freely on that age, and that courage」

「……」

「I’ve taken a liking on you. You brat, become my minion. If you do that, I’ll let you live and give you one kingdom」

「If I said no?」

「Kukuku」

Balthazar laughed, *Pachin* snapped his finger.

From his behind, various crawling things appeared. Dissolved like mud, something like a human.

And there was a lot of them, it wasn’t thousands, it was ten thousands of them.

「I will kill you, devour your blood and soul, and let you be a part of the undead」

「I won’t like that」

「Come now, tell me your answer」

「I don’t want to」

「I see, then DIE!!」

Balthazar attacked, and his undead minions also attacked.

I fought, using a thousand magic.

I returned from the different s.p.a.ce.

「I’m tired……if I didn’t learn Black Hole it might’ve been close」

I exhaustedly sat down to the chair.

Reincarnating and living a new life, today might be the day I was tired the most.

「A-re? It is Lucio-sama」

The room’s door opened, and Sylvia showed up.

「When did you come back, Lucio-sama, you were not around earlier」

「Earlier? Ohh, it’s already evening」

I looked outside, and got surprised a little. The sky had already reddened when I noticed it.

「Did you go somewhere?」

「Yeah, just a bit」

「? Is that so. Ah! It is almost time to eat, so please wash your hands」

Sylvia said that, and tried to go out of the room.

「Sylvia」

「Yes?」

「Do you know Balthazar?」

「Balthazar desu ka? ……ah!  The legendary demon king desu ne, the one who dominated the world for 300 years, and took a way all hope from human kind they said」

「He〜, that guy, he’s a tremendous guy after all」

「What is it with Balthazar?」

Sylvia made a blank look and tilted her head.

「No, it’s nothing. Rather than that, I’m hungry, so can you double the amount for dinner」

「I understand!」

Sylvia, this time for sure, went out.

I saw that off, and started at the Grimoire intently with the sunset.

It’s tiring, so something like a demon king, I don’t want to fight that again.
