Chapter 04: An Appearance for the Best (Undead) Girl!
CAPTURE QUEST!
Defeat the Necromancer in the Graveyard!
Status: In Progress
On a hill 500 meters away from town, there was a public graveyard for those unfortunate in their lives' financial aspect, basically a resting ground for those who had been poor and homeless in life.
This was where Kazuma Satou and his Party were supposed to visit late in the night, but Aqua and Megumin had gotten delayed for different reasons. Megumin had wanted to buy a new staff with her huge reward from the cabbage quest while Aqua had been stuck trying to repay a huge tab she'd somehow racked up when Kazuma wasn't looking.
Kazuma had instantly paid it off (He didn't want to, but even he could tell that those shady guys she was owing were most likely the type to increase the debt with interest if payment got delayed), using his rising reputation with the guild staff to no longer indulge Aqua's drinking habits unless he said so as the goddess's punishment.
Now Aqua was wailing alone at the Starstruck Inn, leaving Kazuma alone with Darkness, whose armor was undergoing repairs and forced her to be dressed differently at the moment.
Darkness was dressed in a simple dark dress shirt, a pencil skirt of matching colors, with even pantyhose to complete the look. The only thing that could mark her a true denizen of Belzerg instead of a pretty foreigner from Kazuma's home was the sword she still had hanging from her shoulder.
Now that sword was elsewhere, as it's owner was laid on her back onto the forest floor, her clothes askew while Kazuma fucked her with great intensity.
Even if it was her first time, Kazuma had shown no mercy after finally given in, granting the masochist exactly what she'd always wanted. Despite her STR being higher than his, it had been laughably easy to push the woman down and start off with a rough blowjob that Darkness made zero attempt to escape from.
Now, she was on her back with her exposed breasts heaving as Kazuma looked down on her, his hips pistoning against her thighs.
"Aren't you happy with yourself, Darkness?" Kazuma grunted as he grabbed Darkness by her neck while his cock claimed her virginal depths. "You just had to push me with this outfit. You just had to stretch your arms up. You just had to bend over at that time."
''Gh-!'' Even as he gripped her throat, a happy grin remained on Darkness's face. ''K-Kh... keheh...!''
Growling, Kazuma slammed his hips forth harder, driving his sensitive shaft balls-deep into the knight, knocking her cervix with every thrust. Her walls squeezed him tight, the smothering grip enticing him to fuck Darkness rougher, as if trying to ram his cock into her until she wailed either an apology or a plea to stop.
No such wail would come from the smiling Crusader.
On the contrary, she seemed to be getting off on him roughly fucking her, as Kazuma fulfilled her secret fantasies even beyond what she had imagined he could do.
Something that tempted Kazuma to squeeze her throat more, finding a strange thrill in choking her out, watching as Darkness rasped and coughed, her body buckling as he slammed his dick into her with wet slapping sounds.
His other hand went down to her other breast, roughly groping it as he pounded the knight into the grassy earth, growling as pleasure crept up in his cock again. As if sensing that, Darkness wrapped her legs around his from his front, preventing Kazuma from pulling out, and intentionally making him thrust into her faster.
''Fuck, hah...!'' Kazuma cursed, pressure rising up his cock until with a guttural growl, he slammed himself balls-deep into Darkness, blowing his load once more.
Hot ropes of cum splattered inside Darkness and with a hot moan of her own, she got another climax, her legs wrapping tighter around him and her nails digging into his forearms, shuddering powerfully as she orgasmed beneath him.
Kazuma rasped heavily, still thrusting sluggishly and spurting more of his cum into her.
His hand loosened around Darkness's neck, eliciting a rough cough from the knight as she could finally breathe freely again, her bruised breasts heaving with every labored breath. Still she grinned up at him, aroused... and gleeful.
"Tch!"
Darkness squeaked as her skirt was fully removed while being turned onto her front. Then she felt the slick, hot cock rub against her other hole. "W-W-Wait, KazumaaAAAAAAAAA~!"
Kazuma gave no acknowledgement as he slid into the immensely tight ass, leaving Darkness with no other choice to take it. Which didn't mean that she was really opposed to what was happening or anything, of course. Darkness grunted as the hot shaft pressed deep into her before slowly withdrawing and pushing back in, taking more and more territory with each push.
Kazuma's fingers dug painfully tight into Darkness's breasts as his thrusting slowly grew into a near frantic pace. Propped on her elbows and knees, the knight whined into the grassy earth as her master's cock claimed an opening she never thought could be claimed, pushing deep into her with every wet stroke, which in turn made Darkness push back against Kazuma while her climax slowly approached again.
When Kazuma finally yanked her head aside and bit down on the exposed shoulder, Darkness screamed as she climaxed once more, her muscles nearly crushing Kazuma's cock as he filled her up with cum again, with some of it even leaking out her ass.
Darkness looked over her shoulder as Kazuma straightened up, a still hungry look in his eyes as he grabbed her by the hair and held her up so that her face was level with his semi-hard cock, which was slick with a mixture of their fluids.
"Lick it clean."
And then she did, Darkness easily deciding this to be the best day of her life.
"It's getting colder, now."
Two hours later, Kazuma and Darkness approached where Kazuma's {Enemy Detection} guided them towards a particular cluster of graves where he could actually see zombies moving about. "One zombie... two zombies... six in total? That's pretty small..."
In the center of it all, there was a hooded figure standing in the middle of a large sky blue glyph that glowed ethereally in the night. Strangely enough, Kazuma wasn't getting that feeling of dread he thought he would've expected from a necromantic ritual.
"Follow me." Without waiting for her response, Kazuma flew high up into the air before descending right before the hooded figure and spinning around to hook their ankles and jerk them off balance.
All of a sudden, in an instant, there was a sure fact in the world that 'KAZUMA SATOU YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE IF YOU DON'T MOVE'
Almost- no, precisely on instinct, Kazuma dodged to the side just as a blast of weirdly glowing ice smashed into where he'd been crouching a second ago.
"W-Wait!" The figure hastily gestured, raising their still glowing hands up in a surrendering motion just as Darkness arrived. "I'm sorry! That was an accident!"
Despite that, Kazuma was already moving, slamming a hand against their shoulder and forcing them down to the ground. Kneeling on their arms, Kazuma raised his fist, allowing wind to spiral around it menacingly as he glared down at...
"Wow, you're gorgeous."
The words slipped out before Kazuma could stop them, but the brown-haired woman with the most amazing rack beneath him was at least flattered if the blush on her extremely pale face was an indication. "What's your intention with all these zombies, necromancer?"
"I-I'm not a necromancer!" The woman pleaded. "I just made this magic glyph so that I could send the wandering spirits to the afterlife! L-Look, please!"
"...Kazuma-sama, I think she's telling the truth." Darkness murmured as she watched the spirit of an old man serenely fade away as he floated upwards.
"...fine, then." Kazuma got off the woman and helped her up. "Finish it up so that we can talk."
"Th-Thank you." The woman returned to her work, her nervous expression solidifying into something more solemn as she resumed chanting in an undecipherable language and made the glyph glow brighter.
After a few more minutes of exorcism, the woman lowered her arms, a satisfied expression on her face as she turned to the adventurers. "Thank you so much for allowing me to finish the ritual. I'm a lich called Wiz."
"Wiz... Well, I'm Kazuma and this is my bitch, Darkness." Kazuma nonchalantly thumbed at Darkness, ignoring the moan she made. "So what were you doing in the graveyard?"
"Um... The souls of this public graveyard, having not received enough memorial service due to lack of money and being unable to pass on, were forced to wander around every night..." Wiz began her explanation. "As a lich, I'm very sensitive to death-related energy and felt some pity for them. That's why I've been coming here every night to exorcise them."
"That's really noble of you, Wiz." Kazuma honestly commended. "But isn't a job like this for the priests in Axel to do?"
"It really is, but they don't do so." Wiz visibly saddened, which picked at the tiny compassion inside of Kazuma. "For those priests, money comes first and is made a priority. Most of the people here were too poor to receive a proper burial. Now they drift among the graves every night, unable to reach the afterlife. Since they are under my authority, I come here regularly to at least help all the ones who wish to pass on."
"So the priests don't do a memorial service for those unfortunate souls without money...?" Darkness looked visibly struck by this for some reason.
Kazuma himself wasn't as surprised, for he knew a goddess who was just as money-hungry. "I understand better now. So anyway, could you at least stop reanimating these zombies? We're here on a Quest specifically to deal with the necromancer responsible."
"I-I'm so sorry about that!" Wiz apologized again. "It's just that my energy just leaks out and makes them reanimate on their own. I always make sure to purify them but..."
"Yeah, this all fits now. If you kept killing them as soon as they formed, that explains how Axel hasn't become ground zero of a zombie apocalypse." Kazuma crossed his arms as several confusing facts about the quest finally fitted together comprehensively. "But what do about these unfortunate spirits now?"
"Do not worry." Darkness spoke up. "I will personally speak to the priests and have them do their jobs properly."
"Eh? Really?" Wiz looked hopeful.
"How will you get a bunch of greedy priests to listen to you?" Kazuma was just as curious.
"Don't worry, Kazuma-sama." Darkness gave a weird smile which did little to hide that she was furious about something. "I have my ways."
"...well, I'll leave that you, then." Kazuma turned to face Wiz, only to be surprised when the woman launched herself at them and drew the two into a tight hug. To his surprise, neither of them were able to break away no matter how much they wanted to.
Well, Darkness wasn't able to break away. Kazuma himself hugged back the woman who's mature and cool body was pressed well against him. Wiz seemed even more stacked than Darkness was but possessed little muscle as well, just leaving even more softness for him to indulge in.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Wiz squealed in gratitude. "How can I ever repay you two?"
"Interesting choice of words." Darkness frowned. "What does this make of our quest?"
"Well, I'm not capturing or killing someone as cute and reliable as Wiz." Kazuma answered as he started to pat the taller woman's head, smiling as the lich started blushing and fidgeting without actually pulling away. "Let's just put this as a fail. First time for everything."
CAPTURE QUEST!
Defeat the Necromancer in the Graveyard!
Status: Abandoned!
"I-I see. I wish I could do something to make it worth your while, though." Wiz hummed before fishing in her robes and bringing out a small piece of paper. "If either of you ever visit my shop, I'll be willing to grant you half-off discounts."
"You live in Axel?" Kazuma asked as he memorized the address. "Don't liches usually live in dungeons and the like?"
"Eh? Why would I do that?" Wiz looked genuinely confused at the idea. "That's so inconvenient. I'd be so lonely, with nobody to talk to but monsters and zombies. Not to mention, I'd be practically inviting adventurers to come and kill me if I stayed in one."
"I see." Kazuma hummed before suddenly dragging Wiz in close and pressing his lips against her cold cheek. "And that's for you."
"E-Eh?!" Wiz's face turned into an adorable shade of red.
"Other than wanting to kiss a cutie like you, I just want you to know that someone appreciates the stuff you're doing." Kazuma started to walk away, prompting Darkness to follow. "Let's meet again and have some drinks, Wiz."
Touching where she'd been pecked, Wiz blinked at the brazen young man before smiling and waving him away. "You too, Kazuma-san. I'd love to drink with a man who didn't feel anything from touching my bare skin."
"A lich, you say?! Why didn't you call me, Kazuma?! I would've passed judgement and exterminated her from this world!"
Kazuma balked at the sheer vitriol Aqua gave off, now very glad he had memorized and physically gotten rid of the paper detailing Wiz's shop address. "Yeah, that attitude makes me glad you two never met. Wiz is a really nice girl."
Kazuma paused as he remembered her curves. "Woman. Very nice woman."
"Those damn liches and the like are not to be trusted, Kazuma!" Aqua slammed her hand down on the wooden table hard enough to shake their drinks. "There's no 'good' type of lich unless it's a 'dead' one!"
"If anything, I'm rather surprised that you entered a good relationship with a lich." Megumin added.
"Eh? Why?"
"A lich is a great magician who has mastered magic to the limits, especially when they defy death in pursuit of eternal life and knowledge." Megumin explained. "With their tremendous power, normal weapons can't even inflict a single injury on them. Moreover, their very essence is saturated with necromantic mana. Just touching them will steal bits of your vitality away."
"That babe was a Last Boss character?!" Kazuma exclaimed as he thought of Wiz's smile. 'Come to think of it, back then when she accidentally fired ice at me, I actually felt my old instinctual urge to dodge. There's literally nothing else in this world that's put that feeling of primal terror in me ever since I got my Devil Fruit except the Rookie Killer. Did that mean I instinctually sensed something that would've hurt me regardless of my logia powers?! But I still kissed her fine... And Darkness and I didn't feel anything when she hugged us. Maybe Wiz was concentrating on holding back that necro stuff from hurting us...'
Kazuma suddenly yawned. 'Well, I'll think on that later. It's not like I'm wanting for cash so I guess I can relax for the day.'
The next day, it was easy to find the results of how each member of {Phantasmal} had spent their abundant rewards from the cabbage quest.
Kazuma had gone around bribing his fellow adventurers with bits of his excess money in exchange for more Spells and Skills.
Darkness, having been granted a lot of cabbages from admirers which included the people she had shielded while indulging in her masochism, had used her money to upgrade her destroyed armor completely.
Megumin had splurged to get a brand new staff which was not only sturdier, but had a crimson orb of manatite.
The less said about Aqua's misfortune, the better.
"Irresistible~! Irresistible~!" Megumin moaned as she rubbed against her staff, just shy of actually grinding her crotch along it. "The luster of this manatite staff brimming with explosive magical power-"
"[Steal.]"
"-that just... huh?" Megumin blinked as she stared at her empty hands before glaring at Kazuma who nonchalantly placed the staff on the table before him.
"Knock it off, Megumin." Kazuma deadpanned as he thumbed at Darkness. "She and I are supposed to be the only blatant perverts in this Party."
"Noooo! Gimme back my staff!" Megumin dived for it in an instant, only to be snatched out of the air by Kazuma and bent over his laps with her skirt flipped up and panties yanked down. "Wait. N-No-"
*SMACK!*
Kazuma's palm mercilessly got reacquainted with Megumin's butt, causing some nice jiggling. Thanks to the rapid levelling she had undergone with her Party, her teenage body had grown to accommodate for her stats.
*SMACK!*
Therefore, Megumin's body had gone from having an underdeveloped body to acquiring a lithe and slender physique with actual flesh in the proper places.
*SMACK!*
Which meant that for every spank Kazuma gave Megumin, Kazuma enjoyed the ripples he made on her reddening flesh.
"Wh-What is he doing?!"
*SMACK!*
"Woah, Kazuma-san's so bold!"
*SMACK!*
"How could he do such a thing to her in public?!"
*SMACK!*
"You're our hero, Kazuma-san! An inspiration, even!"
*SMACK!*
"There." Kazuma eased up, pulling up Megumin's panties to cover up her sore ass. "Are you going to behave with your new staff, Megumin?"
"Y-Yes." Megumin sniffed, feeling a unfamiliar mix of shame and arousal. Retrieving her staff, the witch gingerly took her seat.
"Such savagery!" Darkness gushed. "Why couldn't you punish me like that, Kazuma-sama?!"
"Shut up, Darkness."
"Huh?" Kazuma blinked at the sparse appearance of the Quest Board. "What happened to all the quest flyers? There're only super dangerous ones left."
"I am very sorry." Luna apologized as she approached the Party. "The truth is, one of the Demon Generals moved in near town recently."
Kazuma frowned. "How does that affect the quests like this? Wouldn't the usual monsters be excited and show an increase in activity?"
"On the contrary, the weak monsters are too intimidated to want the Demon General's attention and have gone into hiding." Luna explained to Kazuma. "The only possible monsters that would have gotten excited are powerful ones like Rookie Killer or the Black Fang, with the former no longer active thanks to Kazuma-sama."
"What do we do?!" Aqua wailed in despair as she fell to her knees. "Kazuma just lifted my beer ban, but I have no money!"
Kazuma crossed his arms. "Our only choice would be to take one of these Quests then-"
He blinked as Darkness almost blurred as she snatched up a flyer and returned, excitedly hopping in place. "Let's do this one! It's a Kill Quest for the Black Fang Luna-san just mentioned!"
"...I guess we could handle it." Kazuma murmured. "We'll need to travel pretty far though-"
"Yes!" Luna squealed in joy as she actually glomped Kazuma, accidentally forcing his face into her cleavage before quickly stepping back and recomposing herself. "Forgive me. I thought you'd never get to taking on the harder quests. Of all the adventurers in Axel, you're one of the four most powerful ones. Those quests still refer to monsters who are currently terrorizing people, you know?"
"Well, when you put it like that, I feel kinda bad." Kazuma muttered, his eyes fixed on Luna's cleavage.
"Good, you should!" Luna beamed. "Let me just register this quickly, and you'll be on your way!"
Kazuma hummed as Luna walked away, his eyes fixed on her swaying hips before a sudden thought occured to him. "Darkness."
Darkness turned to face Kazuma only to freeze at the false smile he was giving her. "Y-Yes, Kazuma-sama?"
"I know that you've gotten some new points." Kazuma looked away as he pulled out his {Adventurer's Map} to learn of the best routes for the quest. "If you want to come along, dump them all into your {Skill: Two-Handed Sword}. Now."
KILL QUEST!
Defeat the Black Fang!
Reward: 4,800,000 Eris
The Black Fang lived in a cave a couple of kilometers away from Axel, but rarely ventured far from its habitat, other than to get it's food.
Which obviously happened to include people.
The monster had the head of a panda but with teeth that jutted far out of its mouth, kinda like an angler fish. The rest of its body was a cross between a black bear and a gorilla, with it's arms being unproportionably long, ending in gargantuan paws that had razor sharp claws nearly as long as Darkness's sword. Its feet were remarkably human-like, and had round, untrimmed nails.
It should also be mentioned that this monster was almost twice the size of an elephant.
But there was a terrifying factor of the Black Fang that Kazuma hadn't anticipated. It's epithet as the 'Black Fang' referred to the metallic black shine of it's fangs and claws, which Kazuma hadn't thought much of...
Until it scored a long gash across Kazuma's intangible back.
"Aqua..." Kazuma growled as he watched Darkness push against the Black Fang with the Crusader gripping it's hands and thankfully not indulging in her habits, hissing as the Archpriest healed him. "Why in the name of Thoth does that monster have Busoshoku Haki?! And one that's perfected enough to earn that shitty title?!"
"I don't know!" Aqua panicked. "You think I have any control or idea about the monsters here?! You saw how I fared with the frogs!"
No, the problem was that the world didn't make sense and the Black Fang was never given an onscreen appearance, therefore allowing the Forces That Be to make it whatever they want.
After trying and failing to do away with Darkness, the Black Fang opened it's maw wide at her face, a strange orange light shining from the throat-
"Breath attack!" Kazuma roared in warning. "Darkness, get away from it!"
*FWOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!*
For the first time, Darkness obeyed Kazuma's order to avoid danger, grimacing at the large blast of fire that incinerated where she'd been two seconds ago.
'On top of having claws that can hurt me and almost being stronger than Darkness, it can breathe fire. Of course, it can fucking breathe fire. However, Darkness did manage to break it's rib earlier which means that it's haki is only concentrated in it's teeth and claws.' Kazuma did a quick summary of the monster's abilities, along with a plan to kill it. "I think we can pull this off!"
"GRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA!"
The Black Fang let loose a bloodcurdling roar, flames surging out of it's maws to condense into a massive fireball, ready to be launched. Just as it launched, Kazuma flew forward and created a tornado that caught the massive firebomb within.
"OH NO, YOU DON'T!"
Kazuma roared as he sent back the attack, smashing it into the Black Fang's face and causing it some damage as it flew backwards onto it's back.
"All of you, get ready!" Kazuma ordered as he gave his orders. "Darkness, you and Aqua are going to destroy that monster's legs! I'll handle the arms! When it's down and unable to move, Megumin will finish it off! Understood?!"
Kazuma's eyes widened at the sight of the Black Fang already getting up. "We can't afford to waste any time! I'll start it off!"
Charging forward and gathering a supercompressed orb of air into his hand, Kazuma aimed and shot it at the Black Fang's right forearm just as it tried to swing at him. The result was that the compressed air bomb burst apart at contact and obliterated the monster's elbow, leaving it armless as the Black Fang roared in pain.
"And now for the other one!" Kazuma took the chance while the Black Fang was distracted, manifesting a sharpened disk of wind that he flung as soon as he could, severing the Black Fang's left arm completely. "Alright! Now, it's your turn, girls!"
The Black Fang thrashed about, flames leaking out it's roaring maw in blind rage.
"You're a fool to bare your flaming fangs to the Crusader of {Phantasmal}." Darkness smirked as she hefted her sword. "I would normally love nothing more than to feel your flames and fangs tearing into my body, but Kazuma-sama threatened that he'd never touch me again if I willingly allowed it!"
"GRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA!"
Even without it's arms, the Black Fang charged at Darkness, flames suddenly bursting off it's entire body. Darkness herself didn't slow down her own charge, relishing the searing heat of the flames as she stabbed her sword into the monster's left knee and abandoned it there, making the monster roar as it was unwillingly brought down to a knee.
"Waaaaaah! You stupid monster!" Aqua wailed as she charged at the Black Fang, cocking back her fist to prepare her special move. "Why did I have to fight something as scary as you?!"
"[God Blow!]"
Again, the concept of monster weaknesses came into play, but in Aqua's favor for once. After all, a monster that wielded fire could never hope to survive a clash against a deity who commanded it's elemental opposite.
The Black Fang screamed as both of it's entire lower half was promptly blasted away from the punch, leaving almost nothing left of both it's legs. The Black Fang could do little more than constantly roaring in pain-filled rage as it thrashed about.
Unfortunately, it had forgotten about the smallest human of the group that had come to kill it.
"Crimson blaze of the black, king of myriad worlds, though I promulgate the laws of nature, I am the alias of destruction incarnate in accordance to the principles of all creation!"
The familiar dark energy started to swirl above the dismembered Black Fang, who could only roar defiantly at it's impending demise and try to crawl towards Megumin.
"Let the hammer of eternity descend unto my target!"
"Down, teddy!" Suddenly, the Black Fang's head was stomped into the dirt by Kazuma, where the massive burning glyphs manifested both above and below as rainbow sparkles blazed into existence within the dark energy.
"[EXPLOOOOOOOSION!]"
First came the light, a haunting white which became yellowish red with a blinding black center.
Then followed the sound and shockwave.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!*
The earth itself trembled and burst apart into molten slag as the force of the spell sent a shockwave that blew them all away, excepting Kazuma who was unharmed right at ground zero.
When the smoke cleared away, Kazuma reformed from the air and glared down at the horribly burned Black Fang. Just as he had suspected, it had somehow survived Megumin's attack due to it's {Fire Resistance}.
It couldn't move or attack in any matter, but was still undeniably alive.
"You're just as monstrous as that Rookie Killer... Okay, you're probably worse." Without giving it a chance to recover, Kazuma's hand made a claw shape and summoned wind to shred through the Black Fang's neck, silencing its pained bellows.

Reward: 4,800,000 Eris
"Well done, Kazuma-san!" Luna congratulated when she and every single member of the Adventurer Guild member present saw the massive head of the Black Fang outside the building's door. "I knew I could count on you!"
"Has anyone ever told you that you're a seductress with an angelic smile and a demonic soul?" Kazuma deadpanned.
Luna's smile didn't falter in the slightest as another wild party revved into gear in the guildhall. "As the second highest authority in this guild, I find your honest words flattering~"
"Cool." Kazuma gave a weary smile before grabbing her close to kiss her cheek and taking his reward away.
"Huh." Luna tilted her head in curiosity and mild disappointment. "I almost thought he'd at least steal a full kiss from me."
"Beldia-sama, a call for you." An undead knight bowed before his master, stretching out it's arms and presenting a glowing crystal orb.
"Answer." Beldia, Dullahan of the Undead race and Demon General of his King's army, sat at attention while cradling his head when the orb glowed brighter to establish connection. "This is Beldia."
"Beldia, what are doing so close to Axel? The populace is quite unsettled and Wiz herself is getting agitated from sensing you."
"Forgive my impudence." Beldia immediately replied. "I only came to investigate the holy aura that had appeared a while ago. It may be that the deities might have sent another champion of theirs' to descend into this world."
"I'll confirm your suspicions, then. The owner of the holy aura is actually from a true goddess, albeit with part of her divinity sealed. She arrived with a new Hero some weeks back."
Beldia sat up instantly. This was tremendous news. Ominous, true enough, but still tremendous. "What can you tell me about them?"
"I know what you actually want to know. The Hero's name is Kazuma Satou and yes, he is significantly powerful. Despite choosing the lowest of all Adventurer classes, he is quite a remarkable mage with a talent for wind magic. The goddess herself is Aqua, patron deity of the Axis Order. If you're going to attack, you should make proper preparations."
Beldia already was. He wouldn't so much as get within Aqua's eyesight if he could, which meant that he'd need to leave her defeat to someone else just as strong as him while he would battle the Hero Kazuma Satou.
This meant that he'd have to contact a third Demon General.
Ah, he hadn't been this excited to battle a mage since Wiz- Wait.
"What about Kyouya Mitsurugi? I believe that he was a suspected Hero as well?"
"He isn't in Axel at the moment. How unfortunate. This now concludes my report. Hail to the Demon King for I shall instill deceit in his Name."
"Hail to the Demon King for I shall wreak havoc in his Name."
KingVessel: I just want to drop this tidbit before going... Wiz isn't the only Demon General in Axel. Just the only benevolent one.
