Volume 10, 49: What Do You Want?
“It seems you know about the Dagger of Death. According to that book, after that guy had been sealed in the dagger he was taken somewhere by that era’s Demon King. According to the book it was taken to a place where nobody could take it away.”
Sorry about that, I’m a bit unconventional and took not just the dagger away but the whole maze.
It seems that I got into some trouble with some equipment that I accidentally picked up. Back then there was no hint in the equipment prompt......
No, it seems that I just didn’t read it.
Well, that’s what happened. The equipment that the boss had dropped contained some strange properties. Because of that we’ve been carrying a time bomb for some time......
I might as well have just let it lie on the ground. Geez.
But then again, how did it manage to be unsealed?
As I was thinking that, Oyado took the Dagger of Death out.
“Ah. So it was like that.”
The Demon King looked over the dagger before looking back up to me.
“Just how much free time do you have? You went as far as to challenge the ancient labyrinth. You don’t know how to do anything but grinding your level, and practicing your skills so you went to play in the ancient labyrinth.

“You just think I do, I was forced to go in.”
“Really......Well, your luck really is bad. Most normal people would never go into that place in their entire lives.”
“I’m strange?”
The Demon King shrugged.
“Well, basically, you touched the Dagger of Death, his soul sensed the resemblance between you and his own body and stayed near you, waiting for you to loose control. When that happened he immediately took control of your body.”
“What can I do? I don’t have any soul magic.”
“The only way is in your hands.”
The Demon King pointed at the Dagger of Death in Oyado’s hand.
“In order to solve this: Stab the guy with the Dagger of Death and it will passively absorb his soul over three hours. In addition, he mustn’t get away from the dagger during those three hours.”
“Why do you know this so well......”
“Because I suspected that guy might have been the one that had been sealed, so I did a bit of research.”
The Demon King casually said.
You’re obviously the one with too much free time......
“So in other words, we sort of know how to deal with that guy. So what’s next? Kill him in a head on battle?”
“Hey. It’s not so simple. The guy controlling your body has a lot of people who are just as strong as you.”
The Demon King said with a smile.
“In addition, the demons don’t want to fight as long as their territories aren’t attacked. Because of that, only the owner and a militant are coming to help. I think they’ll be here soon.”
“Hey, this battle has been going on for so long, have they just been sitting on the sidelines and watching you fight?”
“Not at all. They were nervous in the beginning, but they went home when they saw the enemy had gotten stuck at our first line of defense.”
......
Truly a peace loving group. If everyone in the world loved peace just as much then there probably wouldn’t be any war.”
“Tell me, who are these peace loving people?”
“Maa, you know one of them.”
“I know them?”
“That’s right.”
The Demon King gave a smile.
You’ll be able to meet them soon.

......
Yes, I did know one of the two people that showed up that afternoon.
Speaking of which, the weapon I was using was given by him.
Well, it’s Blazing Horn.
That’s right, it was the demon that some fool summoned. The strongest ghost, Blazing Horn.
Back then my friendship with him got me a ghostly sword from him, but I haven’t used it that much since I became more skilled at magic. It’s a big sword after all, and very inconvenient to use.
But I remember doing something like stabbing a magic rod into his body and it’s gone now. Looking at his perfect appearance, it wasn’t a problem?
And the other person is......a long green haired......well......flat chested girl.
That’s right, the only drawback of this girl that seemed to have infinite allure is that she has no breasts. I almost thought she was a beautiful man.
If I didn’t look at her titles.
【Bluewater Beauty】Christina. Abyss’ Eighth Demon King. She controls the Night Demons, Nightmares and Succubi in the Abyss.
She’s also the lord of this territory.
“Eh~
Blazing Horn came over and leaned towards us.
“Isn’t this just a human? You said you wanted us to join forces with someone boss...... but it’s just them.”
“There’s nothing wrong with them.”
“There’s nothing wrong with it.”
Christina drifted over to us, the green fur she was wearing floating in the air.
“I like working with cute team members~”
I have to say......she’s worthy of being called the of being the person who commands the night demons......
“Don’t underestimate them Blazing Horn. Don’t you remember? One of them had a tie with you.”
“A tie? How’s that......”
He laughed. But after looking around at us he took something out and threw it on the ground!
“I remember! It was you guys! Back then there was the guy who had this magic wand! I want to fight with him!”
“That’s mine!”
I stood up, slapping the table.
“What do you want?”
