Chapter 96 - Red and Jet-Black Silver Demons

Shamil hides in the bushes beside the cliff and stares at the two silver demons in the central square of the city of Lingen, the silver demon named with red horn and the silver demon with the jet-black horn.

Souya uses one of the Familiar’s abilities, visual sharing, to monitor the two in the same way with Shamil’s line of sight, standing beside the large cedar tree a short distance from the cliff, ready to use his magic at any time.

“…… Master. That Red Horn’s body color …… that’s a really dangerous one.”

The red-horned demon was projected by sharing a vision with Shamil. I could see that its silvery-white frame had a faint golden glow to it.

“This is bad. A Silver with a hint of Gold …… The Demonization Electrum is in progress.”

Demonization Electrum. This is a phenomenon in which the body color of a silver demon becomes closer to the color of gold.

It’s also a sign that the Silver Demon is one of the strongest of the Silver Demons, and according to some scholars, it will become a Gold Demon at the end of the Demonization Electrum process.

“Can you win if there is only Silver Rei, one of the six heroes, even if it is a Silver Demon with Demonization Electrum in progress?”

“Almost alone …… If that’s the case, I have defeated one progressed form of the Demonizing Electrum. But we are talking about a situation where we have no choice but to do so, which could be called a bad joke. I’m not so naive as to believe that I can win. So there’s no way I can win against two silver demons at the same time ……”

While muttering, Souya remembered Fiine, the white saint, the strongest of the six heroes. She has the absolute power to overcome our current desperate situation by her own strength. 

(The white saint, Fiine, would be able to face this situation and win. Or if it’s that ill-natured goddess …… In any case, it’s not me. This is irritating.)

Souya endured the feelings of anger and kept his neat face slightly distorted, then lightly held his black glasses with his fingers. He glared viciously at the two silver demons in the shared vision and continued his surveillance. 

“Shamil. The God of Destruction Ragnus’ formation in the central square. It may be that he used it to summon the demons.”

Souya recalled the deadly battle between the Windbreakers, led by the Hero Randy, and the Silver Demon at the old fortress. The Dark Priest of the God of Destruction Ragnus was also responsible for that incident. 

“I see. So the dark priest of the God of Destruction Ragnus may be hiding nearby.”

“But in order to summon a Colored, you need a strong soul. It’s not easy. In a recent case I faced, the Dark Priest was able to summon the Silver Demon in exchange for his own life.”

“…… sacrificing himself. He’s quite the fanatic.”

While the two of them were analyzing what appeared to be the magic formation of the God of Destruction Ragnus, there was movement again in the central square. A group of bronze demons gathered around the two silver demons.

There were six of them. All of them were armed with red swords that had triggers to cause explosions.

“…… The two Silvers, and one of them, the Red Horn one is showing signs of the Demonization Electrum. In addition, there are six bronze bronzes armed with red swords …… It’s two against eight as far as we can see.”

After Shamil briefly informed him of the strength situation, he broke off his words.

“…… Master. I think we should just wait for help. If the Grasswalker boy can make it to Ilstadt safely, it might not take another half day.”

Shamil continued with a reluctant suggestion. Perhaps it was the fear of the crowd of demons in front of him that made Souya feel a little shaky in his telepathy. It may be that his concentration is disturbed.

“It can’t be helped.”

Souya received the blessing of returning to death from the goddess Eris, and was accustomed to the struggle with the advanced demon, “Colored,” so he was able to analyze the situation relatively calmly. And he judged that it would be reckless to challenge the battle at this stage.

To enter the city of Lingen now, beneath the ashes of the cliffs, would be like swimming in a lake inhabited by schools of sabertooth fish.

There seemed to be no other choice but to wait for reinforcement.

(…… I believe there are five platinum adventurers in Ilstadt that I know of. Louise-san and Seran-kun.)

The two platinum-grade adventurers that Souya has met are Louise, a receptionist who is an expert with dual-wielding, and Seran, a demon slayer. He had seen a part of their abilities during a sudden request, and had confirmed that they were perfectly capable.

In addition, I had heard about the existence of the three adventurers when I was drinking with Seran at the blacksmith Doga’s workshop.

(Priest Siren, priest of the supreme god Luminous. Phyllis, the half-elf …… After that, he said it was the vice guild leader, old Rand ……That’s such a nostalgic name. If it’s that Rand, he’s over seventy. Is he still active?).

Souya had met a man named Rand twenty years ago, when he was working as Rei. He was a middle-aged, lively magician who preferred hand-to-hand combat, and I remember that he was already a platinum-ranked adventurer at the time. In the sense of being a magic warrior, his style could be said to be the same as Souya’s, but he was so well endowed that it was hard to believe he was a magician, and he used a huge war hammer as his weapon. Souya recalled that when he first saw him, he had mistaken him for a priest warrior of the war god Ragacia.

(…… Anyway, if the platinum-class adventurers that Seran-kun mentioned were all in Ilstadt and rushing to this place …… there’s still a way in this situation.)

It is a convenient calculation. Souya was aware of this.

However, if the reinforcement members are not highly skilled, it is not a good time to enter the city anyway. Souya continued to monitor the demons while thinking tactically again.

The six red bronze demons that appeared in the central square formed a circle around the two silver demons. Within the circle, there was a Silver Demon with red horns and a Silver Demon with jet black horns. The two seemed to be arguing about something.

“…… A quarrel? Shamil, can you hear them?”

“No, it’s a little too far away. Do you want me to approach them? Or use magic.”

“Don’t overdo it. It’s not good if they notice you …… Also, there’s something wrong.”

It was an instantaneous event, just as Souya, who felt uncomfortable, finished admonishing Shamil for trying to move from the bushes on the cliff.

The Red Horn suddenly raises his fist at the Silver Demon with jet-black horns, and hits him in the face. 

In the wake of that surprise, the jet-black horned Silver Demon, lost its balance with a dull sound, like something was crushed, and collapsed to the ground.

“Wha- …… an internal conflict!?”

Shamil is astonished. This action was unexpected even for Souya.

There is basically no such thing as a “colored” of the same rank going against each other. This is because it is against the doctrine of the Platinum Lord, the absolute monarch of the demon race. However, in the projected image, the battle between the silver demons has begun.

The face of the two Silver Demons was in stark contrast.

The Silver Demon with the jet-black horn staggered to his feet and let out a loud, ear-splitting roar, seemingly furious at the surprise attack.

The Red Horn, on the other hand, saw the situation and distorted its face in an amusing manner, showing a fearless and evil smile.

“…… that Red Horn. Don’t tell me…”

There were two possibilities that popped into Souya’s head.
