Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~ Chapter 425

Published at 1st of February 2023 09:59:08 AM

Three high-ranking demons ascend to the level where the Demon Lord is.

As the Demon Lord and Cubel and the others stare at them, they hear voices talking.

"Oh no, it's finally over...

Basque clasps his hands behind his head and speaks in a distracted voice.

"Bask has killed the fewest.

Virdiga, in the form of a metallic, shiny, bipedal beetle, states the truth plainly.

'What the hell?　You bug! I'll twist you into little pieces!

I'm just telling you the truth. I'm just telling you the truth. And what do you mean, "twist"?　I don't know. I want you to show me.

Oh, that's funny. You're the one who said that.

Bask unclasped his hands at the back of his head and put his hands on the large sword on his shoulder.

You're a demon lord. You guys, this is the place where the Demon Lord resides. Know your place!

Ramon Hamon, who has two faces and two sets of hands and feet, admonishes you not to fight in this place.

The male and female faces speak at the same time, so their voices always sound like they're talking at the same time.

"What?　You're the one who's always making the most noise.

Basque says that it's twice as loud with one person playing two roles.

"Huh?　You said it.

Ramon Hamon affirmed Basque's words, but his two faces were quietly furious.

"You're in the presence of the Demon Lord now, aren't you?

With Cubel's words, the three higher demon gods that came here kneeled in front of the Demon Lord.

The three higher demons that came here knelt before the Demon Lord.

Bildiga said that he had defeated all of the Insect A summons that Allen had summoned and which had multiplied into tens of thousands.

"I see. Thank you for your efforts. Allen's summoners. How did it go?"

It seems that the Demon Lord wants to know more about the situation than whether he won or lost.

He asked Bildiga to report on the battle.

The summoned beast was too weak to be a problem. If the summoned beast depends on the summoner's power, then the summoner is no match for it.

Virdiga said that they were too small to be analyzed.

If the movements of the summoners depend on Allen's status, then the summoner's power is not that great either.

"Oh, I see."

But you can never be too careful. I first met you in Rosenheim, but you're growing at an alarming rate. Perhaps he has a skill that increases the rate of growth.

I've been watching Rosenheim's battles with the infidels, and I analyze that they're getting stronger at an unbelievable rate even though it hasn't been many years yet.

The speed is probably unprecedented, even for Cubel, the primeval demon god.

'I'm not letting my guard down. I'm just reporting the situation.

Virdiga says he was just answering a question.

'Merus, the alleged summoner, was not there. Perhaps he did not want to expose his true intentions.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

"I'm not sure if I'm using my full strength. The new hero seems to be cautious.

"That's the general consensus, I guess.

Thank you all for your hard work.

In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, it's possible that you'll be able to find it in the marketplace.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you've heard of it. Now that the human world has invaded, it's time for us to show our strength. I suggest it is time for us to show our strength.

Ramon Hammon wants to know what to do next.

We've gone easy on them so far, but the northern part of the central continent has been almost completely lost to the humans.

Unable to leave it as it was, three higher-ranked demon gods destroyed the summoned beasts of Bug A that Allen had sent.

He said that it was better not to leave it at that and that this was the time to show the power of the Demon Lord's army.

"Hmm.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

If the summoned beast that Allen sent is such a small fish, we can invade and destroy the two cities.

There is no doubt that these two cities are currently important bases of operations for the human side.

Ramon Hamon asks for the Demon Lord's permission to attack these two strongholds.

"Now is the time to put the resurrection of the evil god above all else. General Ramon Hamon.

This is not the time to attack and destroy cities and strongholds.

"Yes, it is. We must not divide our forces. "We must not divide our forces. "We must fight with all our might against the resurrection of the demon."

I say you have a job to do.

"Demon Lord, do you need three higher-ranking demons?

"Yes.

"Yes.

The Demon Lord knows that Virdiga is not doubting, but only confirming.

The king is used to dealing with Bildiga, who is the only one in this group who doesn't get the joke.

And if that's what the Demon Lord has decided, then that's what he'll do.

There was an atmosphere among the Demon Lord that he had already decided what to do next.

"Demon Lord, I worked pretty hard on this plan, but...

"Huh?　What's wrong?"

What are you talking about?" The Demon Lord turns his gaze to Basque, who has a disgruntled look on his face.

Basuku has worked hard enough and apparently he wants a reward.

That's not true. Basque's work was the worst.

Virdiga says that Basque has killed the least number of summonses in the operation by Ramon Hamon, Virdiga and Basque's three higher demons.

The Demon Lord slowly looks at Cubel.

The king slowly looks at Cubel and asks him to listen to what he has to say.

"That's right. I'm not a beast. I'm not a beast. I don't think I'll be able to do much without my weapon.

It seems that Bildiga has been treated like a bug earlier and like a beast this time, but he doesn't say anything.

His emotions seem to be very low.

"You got something?　Yes. I think they took our weapons in the last battle."

The Demon Lord recalled that Bassuk had lost the Orichalcon Sword to Allen during the battle against the Evil Sect.

As if in pursuit, Allen took the weapon.

'I heard there's a great sword in the castle treasury. Give it to me!

Basque's eyes lit up and he held out his hands to the Demon Lord.

"A sword. There were some orichalcon swords.

There is a treasure room in the castle where the Demon Lord lives.

The Demon King's mind wanders to the treasures in the treasury, and to the great orichalcon swords that Basque can equip.

"That's crazy. I heard there's a magic sword!

"Basque. It's about time you got that out of your system.

Cubel chided Basque for his language.

"Oh, yeah.

I'm sure you're right, he didn't apologize for his bad language, but he just barely showed remorse.

"Onuba, the magic sword: ....... If you can equip it, you can use it."

"Oh, really?　I've got it!

And then, even though we're still in the middle of the story, Basque disappears from the Demon King's level at a great speed.

"Oh, dear. As usual. So Basu can equip the magic sword Onuba?　It's hard to handle, even for me."

The Demon Lord sighed at Bassuk's attitude, but checked with Cubel.

I'm not sure if he can handle it. He still has the full-featured blessing that Elmere gave him. There's a chance he'll be swallowed by the demon sword, though.

Cubel says that the blessing that Elmea gave him should still be in effect, even though it brought Basque to the side of the Demon King's army.

"Well, good. I'll give it to you if you want it too. But make sure you bring back the evil god. I want the God of Evil.

I'll do everything I can.

If you want the sword, I'll give it to you.

So I say to the demons in front of me, do what you have to do.

"Ha!

"Yes, sir.

"The time for humans to live is coming to an end. Kill anyone who gets in your way or is a nuisance. The next battle will be an all-out war."

He said to everyone again and sat down deeply in his chair.

The Demon Lord was staring up at the sky, his eyes filled with a desire that Basque's were not.

"It was this way, right? Is it around here?　You don't usually come here, do you? Oh?　This is the room, isn't it?

While the Demon Lord is thinking about it, Basque is running barefoot through the Demon Lord's castle.

Then, he arrives at a room with a huge door filled with jewels.

"This is Mr. Bask. I'm sorry. This is the Demon Lord's treasure room. Are you sure you have permission?

The body of the gatekeeper is made of stone statues and the gatekeeper guarding the treasury confirms that you have permission to enter.

What?　Of course you have permission!　Get out of the way!

"What?

I was in a good mood to come here, but then I kicked the gatekeeper in the face and Basque walked into the treasury.

There were gold and silver treasures and frightening items all over the place.

It was a very large treasury, and as he walked through it, he saw a jet-black greatsword stuck in a pedestal.

I'm going to try to pull it out of the pedestal with all my might.

What the hell?　What the hell is this?　I can't get it out!　It's stuck!

Basque's veins float and he puts all his strength into his hands, but they don't budge.

Get your hands off me!　Get your filthy hands off me!　What the hell are you doing touching me?

The sword curses Basque in a very foul language.

"Huh?

I'm gonna beat the shit out of you, b*tc*!　"Huh?" That's not it!　You're holding it too tight. You little shit!　Do you know who I am?　Do you know who I am?

You know who I am?

"You're Onuba, right?

Oh, you know who I am? If you know, then get lost. I want to sleep.

The Demon Sword says there's nothing to say.

Then he strained his hand to pull it off the pedestal, but it no longer faltered.

I'm sure the demon sword's demeanor is telling you to give up and get out.

"...... Hey, what are you doing sleeping? I'm listening to you. I heard that you lost your place to Gaia, the God of Earth, and cried out to the old lady of the Dark God.

Basuku decides to talk to the mute Demon Sword.

"Oh?

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one. That's really funny. What do you mean 'I want to sleep'? Aah!

He belly laughed so hard he rolled on the ground.

That's right. It's funny. Hahaha!　So go die!

The quiet tone of voice changed to an angry tone.

The moment you think the demon sword's tone has changed, the demon sword slips from its pedestal and the jet-black blade approaches Basque at once.

Gush!

In a split second of judgement, Basque put out his fist to defend his vital point, but the back of his hand was easily pierced, and the magic sword plunged even deeper.

It slowly dug into his chest, right at his heart, trying to kill him.

That's good. Nice. Nice. Hey, Onuba. Come with me.

Bassuk put more strength into his body, stopping the sword's progress.

"What?

I need a weapon. I'll be stronger with you, the magic sword. So come on!

You'll need a weapon.

It's a very one-sided request that offers no benefits.

"...... Do you want me? I want to kill Gaia, God of Earth. That's where I belong.

"What?

Instead of answering Basque's request, Maken says he wants to kill Gaia, the God of Earth, who is in the same position as him.

The Demon Sword seems to have a very one-sided personality.

"So I'll lend you my strength. You'll kill Gaia, right?

In exchange for his help, Maken wants to kill Gaia, the God of Earth.

"Oh!　Great, that's what I'm talking about.

Basque grasps the sword with his unpenetrated hand.

"My attributes are earth and dark. Handle it well. And don't ever call the Dark Lord a hag again.

The Demon Sword says he will not tolerate disrespect to the Dark Lord.

"Oh, so you have two attributes... or is it dark? I've finally got a weapon with dark properties!

The advice not to say "old lady" to Basque fell on deaf ears.

I'm so excited that I finally have a weapon with the dark attribute, which is said to be the strongest and most inviolable attribute in the world.

He seems to be impressed by the fact that he now has an overwhelming advantage over all other attributes except for a few such as the sacred attribute.

'Oh yeah, I can equip it. Hey, Bask. Equip that floating band over there, too.

He seemed to understand a little more about Basuku, who had grabbed the magic sword Onuba and equipped it as a matter of course.

"Huh?

The demon sword turned itself around and indicated with the tip of the sword a different pedestal.

Something spiky and thorny was floating, pulsating as if it were alive.

"That's a Gehenna band. It changes the durability attribute to dark. It also increases your durability. Equip it.

It changes the durability attribute to dark, the highest attribute.

He says I should bring it with me.

Seriously? Can't you make the durability attribute dark too?

I took my hand in Gehenna's band, which floated in the air like a wave with a nimble step that belied its massive size.

It's a good thing.

"Good.

I'm not sure what to do.

What good is that?　Gah!

I'm not sure.

The Gehenna band began to wrap itself around Basque's body.

The spikes of the band began to thrust deeply into Basque's body.

The Gehenna band tightened even tighter, and Basque's body couldn't take it anymore, and his whole body started to spurt out a lot of blood.

"You idiot. It's a gehenna band made from a costume worn by a dark god. You can't possibly equip it, can you?　With this, I can turn him into a Deku and I can control him. Good idea.

Crack! Crack!

The Gehenna Band clings to Basuku's entire body and begins to contract.

Basque's bones shattered here and there, and his massive body became smaller and smaller.

However, when he became somewhat smaller, the Gehenna band stopped tightening.

"...... Wow, that's amazing!

Basque shouted in excitement as his skin ripped open and his flesh gushed out.

The same sacred letters began to appear on Basque's body as when Kiel had cast the healing spell.

What the hell?　This is Elmea's!　You have Elmea's blessing?

The magic sword was astonished to learn the meaning of the sacred letters that appeared on Basque's body.

You have the blessing of Elmea?

'Oh, that's nice.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of these in the marketplace.

"......

You can find a lot more information on this topic on the web.

"Now that I have a new sword and armor... Did you get a dogora?　I'll turn you into soggy minced meat!　Aaahhhh!

After being slashed by Dogora, he touched the diagonal scars on his body that looked as if they were welded.

The memories of the fight with Dogora came back to Basque as he gained new strength.

It seems he has someone he wants to kill first.

With his newfound power, Basque smiles madly at the battle that is about to begin.
