Chapter 235

Struggling people (2)

(Guise)

(Haah)

When I send a thought transmission to Guise, with whom I share a strong soul connection, Guise, who had understood me just then, disappeared as if melting in the wind, taking Onza-kun with him.

I underestimated Ester a little. I didn’t think she’d go this far, so I had Guise and the others check to see if she was up to anything else. Guise and the others couldn’t stop a hero who became serious anyway, and they were the most suitable people for a different job.

But still, how could Esther manipulate the hero who was an apostle of light, no matter how much of an ability skill he had?

“Come on, hero-sama, that person is a bad guy who is nesting in this country. Defeat her!”

“…”

Well, I wouldn’t deny that. I was a demon, after all.

“You guys, stay back. And don’t let anyone else near here.”

“”Yes.””

I ordered my followers to step back and turned to Noel, his face contorted in pain as he looked at me, as if he wasn’t completely in control.

“…Ry…shi…”

“Noel, is it painful? Just bear with it for a little bit, okay?”

“……shi…”

When I put on a big smile, Noel’s face, which had been pained, twitched.

“[Be the penetrating light, the bright holy spear, Holy Lance]…”

A spear of light about five meters long was immediately shot out, and Noel dodged it with his super reaction, but both Noel and Ester’s cronies were blown away by the aftermath alone.

“Oh, oh, you, what are you doing! That’s dangerous!”

“I went easy on you, you know?”

Ester-chan, who had fallen on her butt behind me, protested, so I had to defend myself just in case.

No matter how much I was a demon, I would never indiscriminately fire an annihilation spell at my friend Noel.

Since Noel was a hero of light, he would resist light magic, and since the heat is suppressed, even an ordinary human should only be able to barely notice the aftermath.

“–[Light Go]–“

I tried to cast holy magic on Noel, who was losing his stance after avoiding the luminous holy spear, just to be sure.

“…Guh.”

“I guess that doesn’t work after all…”

I tried applying a spirit-based disarming magic, but it was really troublesome, as expected of a hero. The resist rate of light magic was too high. It was like attacking a flame spirit with a flame-based attack, and most of them resist anything other than offensive stuff, regardless of power.

I guess I should just stun him quickly, as I had originally planned. Then, I think I would prefer the [Night] series, which damages the spirit, rather than the [Bright Sacred] series. But that one was all black and really looked villainous, so I didn’t think it would make a good impression to use in the academy…

“…Ooooooh!”

“Oops!”

I lightly avoided Noel’s attack as he came slashing at me with his sword.

“Hang in there for me, hero-sama!”

“…Ester, you’re bothering me.”

I lightly released a magic-only shockwave at Ester, who was making fun of me from the side, and it was blocked by Noel, who moved in an instant.

The attack from earlier was too poor to be considered Noel, but he seemed to be able to move normally when it came to protection and evasion.

…Ah, this was a bit difficult to do. I wanted to stun Noel and hunt down Ester as soon as possible, but I couldn’t fire a powerful magic because I felt Noel’s kindness even though he was being manipulated like this.

It was a side effect of being immersed in human society and becoming more like a human than a demon….

On the other hand, if I let Noah or Fanny do it, I doubt they would take it easy on Noel who once pointed his sword at me, even if it was unwillingly.

I brought them because I thought they could read the air in various ways, but in terms of their loyalty to me, they were the two who would hold the most grudge.

Even now, the two of them remained standing by with seemingly calm expressions on their faces as I told them, putting up a barrier to prevent ordinary people from entering this place, but I could catch a glimpse of the black, dark demonic fire burning in the depths of their eyes.

I had no choice…

“I have no choice but to attack Ester, huh?”

“…What?”
