"Asuka!! Birds!!!!! ”

Hearing Asukana's call, Asuka, who originally had a look of anxiety on his face, suddenly ran over with bright eyes after seeing Asuna and the black rabbit.

Flying Bird was followed by the maid Peste.

"Tomorrow! Black Rabbit! ”

Asuka and Pace ran up to the two of them, and when they noticed the black rabbit's injury, Asuka subconsciously wanted to tear off the hem of her skirt to bandage her, but when she looked down, she immediately laughed bitterly - she was wearing the bikini she had changed into earlier.

"What about the others?" Pace asked, looking up at Asukina.

"I don't know, Mo and Sixteen Nights are at war with that three-headed dragon, and we can't get involved in that kind of battle to take ......."

Asuna looked a little remorseful.

"In that case, it's best for us to get out of here first, if we let Yakumo and Sixteen Nights fall into passivity, then it will be impossible to atone for their sins."

Asuka's proposal was approved by everyone, and Asuka took out the gift card.

“DEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN——！！！”

Iron Giant Red has three Dean appearing in the light, and Pace and Asuka work together to lift the injured Black Rabbit onto Dean's shoulder, and then the two of them sit on it.

Asukina jumped on Dean's head, and Dean began to evacuate in stride.

◇

It's about seven miles outside the underground city.

Residents and members of the Dragonhorn Lion, as well as guests who have come to participate in the harvest festival, are taking refuge in the streets of the valley.

Although Sarah, who is the Speaker, is not there, the members of the coalition are doing their best to maintain order.

Having fought with the Demon King, these people know very well what is the best course of action in such a chaotic situation.

On the way to evacuate, Asuka and Asuka of [NoName] were assigned by the members of the alliance to protect the people at the back of the group, while Pace kept taking care of the black rabbit on Dean's shoulder.

"Asuka! Take a look!! ”

Asukina made a bright voice.

Follow the direction she pointed. Gryphon was flapping its wings, and on its back was a pale Kasugabe Flare.

After also spotting Asukina and Asuka, Gurley flew directly in front of the two and landed.

"She was already like that when I found my friend in the chaotic crowd." Gurry leaned down slightly, and Asuka and Asuka worked together to help Yao down.

"Thank you, Gurley." Although they couldn't understand what Gurry was saying, Asuka and Asukina still thanked the griffon, and Asukina looked at Yao carefully. "Yao, it's great that you're okay. Didn't get hurt."

“…… Well. ”

He nodded, and moved his mouth.

The unconscious action caused a trace of unease to rise in the hearts of Asuka and Asuka.

Although it is common for Yao to say less, the current appearance is even stranger. A feeling of fear flickered on her pale face.

[Did the three-headed dragon scare Yao?] 】

Tomorrow Na sighed worriedly.

"Woohoo......"

The black rabbit, who had been supported by Pester and half lying on Dean's shoulder, made a ** sound in a daze, and then opened his eyes.

"Black Rabbit! Are you awake? ”

When Asuka heard the sound of the black rabbit, he immediately motioned for Pace to help the black rabbit down.

Standing cautiously on the ground, the black rabbit looked around.

"That...... What about the others? ”

"It's a pity." "I only found my friend, and the others didn't know. ”

"Ink's words. Let's fight the Sixteen Nights Lord and the Demon King......"

"No! No way......!! ”

The black rabbit trembled and clutched Asukina tightly with his rabbit ears.

"That's it, Demon King Az. Dahaca ...... Not an ordinary demon king! That demon king is the LastEmbryo of humanity who has defeated many gods! Even Mr. Sixteen Nights and Lord Yakumo-sama have no chance of winning! ”

Falling to his knees weakly, the Black Rabbit remembered the previous scene.

He was in danger because he was caught in the memories of the past, and in order to save himself, Yakumo was killed by Az. Dahaka ran through his body, golden blood spilling everything in sight.

“…… Sorry, it's all because of me...... It's all because I ......."

Amid the black rabbit's wailing, Asukina clutched the Demon Slayer Sword, and Yao held the necklace in pain. Asuka bit her lower lip.

"Your Excellency, I can understand your anger - my jockey was killed in the chaos......" Gurley bowed his head. There was a glint of hatred in his eyes, "But it's because of existences like Yakumo-sama and Sixteen Night-Lords that we have time to evacuate everyone......"

Hearing Gurley say that his jockey had died, the atmosphere around him suddenly became heavier.

Taking a deep breath, Asukina said, "Okay, Black Rabbit, it's none of your business. Now that the situation is critical, Mo and Sixteen Nights don't mention it, Renjun and the others are still unknown, we should find everyone first. ”

Faced with such a situation, Asukina seems to have become in SAO again. The members of the strategy team continue to attack the boss of the flash Asuna.

"In addition to these, there is very little information about the Demon King, Black Rabbit, please let us know if you know anything."

"I see...... Black Rabbit nodded, "It's impossible for the ancients of the box court not to know that evil god." Do you know Zoroastrianism? ”

Everyone nodded.

"The evil gods of Zoroastrianism are demon kings who hold high the banner of 'Aksara' and cause chaos in the box court as enemies who do not share the same heaven. Even if it's ...... Even if it's ......"

A heavy pain flashed in the black rabbit's eyes.

"Even the Emperor Shakti, who is now regarded as the head of the good gods and favors the black rabbit, I heard that he was once the demon king of Zoroastrianism......

Shakti - the main god of the Black Rabbit who is the "aristocrat of the Hakota" and the god of war she worships.

Looking sideways at the dejected black rabbit, Asuka asked:

"So that dragon is the same as the Emperor?"

If it were, then the single-round combat power would be far superior to that of the dragon.

"It used to be ......"

“！！”

Hearing the unexpected answer, Asuna and the others looked at the black rabbit with strange faces.

"That three-headed dragon is no ordinary demon king. …… No, it's better to say that he is a demon king in the true sense, so it is correct. ”

"The Demon King is the trial itself that takes shape. Originally, the 'Organizer's Authority' was a mystery created in order to open up the inner universe and bring the oldest demon king into his spiritual personality. Generally, if the host's authority is used maliciously, it can be called a demon king, but the real demon king is a completely different trial. ”

"It was the greatest trial in history to exterminate humanity - the final trial of humanity (LastEmbryo)"

Seeing the confused appearance of Asukina, Asuka and Yao, Black Rabbit could only continue to explain:

"The Demon King is a natural disaster, like a thunderstorm, an earthquake, a plague, and so on. And the gods are actually mostly anthropomorphic of these natural disasters, which is a proof that the gods continue to bestow existential crises on mankind - of course, the laws of the celestial bodies are an exception. ”

It's like the Black Death Demon Lord Peste.

"So that three-headed dragon is also the demon king who has included natural disasters, chronicles, and celestial laws?" Asukina asked.

The Black Rabbit nodded, "I'm afraid that's the case, Az. Dahaka was not so powerful originally, but one day, several demon kings led by him made Lingge stronger, and each of them had the strength to repel a million gods. ”

Repelled...... Millions of gods!?

Asukina and the others forgot to breathe.

◇

"Back then, why did you let this guy sublimate his personality?"

Still in some inconspicuous corner.

Zi Wei closed her eyes and stared at the three-headed dragon in the sky with a cold gaze.

The storyteller laughed a little embarrassed, "It's just that I want to play a strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, of course, the tiger was not a tiger at that time, so I helped them, but I didn't expect to grow to this point......"

"So, I hate schemers like you the most." Zi Leng snorted.

The storyteller shrugged helplessly, then reached down and pulled the hood off his head a few points. (To be continued.) )
