Act 5-6: Raising The Curtain of the Tale of Glory and Ruin

East End―― Neo City-Ket Guy

The party went on till evening, Somni and Tetle, who returned to Neo City-Ket Guy with Asta’s strange power were brought out of Ket-Guy again by long nosed monster called Girimekhala early in the morning.

「Eh？」

「Eh?」

The moment they stepped outside of the city, the space before them warped and they entered wasteland.

Many otherworldy being had been waiting for them in there. They surrounded Somni and Tetle, looking at them with solemn faces.

「Uhm, excuse me…」

When Somni tried to ask Girimekhala about the situation, the latter suddenly spread his arms, raised his face as he said,

『WE RECEIVED DIVINE ORDER DIRECTLY FROM OUR SUPREME RULE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~R!

WE ARE ORDERED TO TRAIN THEM TILL THEY BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO ENDURE THE TRAINING FROM OUR SUPREME RULER! AND IT MUSTN’T LITTLE TRICK SUCH AS OUR DIVINE PROTECTION, IT’S TRUE STRENGTH OF THEIR OWN!』

With voice loud enough to shake the atmosphere.

The otherworldy beings stirred at once upon hearing Girimekhala’s words. Every single one of them look like they’re shocked beyond reason.

『Girimekhala, does Supreme Ruler-sama truly gave such instruction?』

Hearing the man with intimidating look on his face and pair of horns growing from his forehead asked with bewildered look on his face, Girimekhala turned toward him and,

『Of course! Supreme Ruler-sama himself said that we have to train them so thoroughly without any compromise until they became strong enough to endure Supreme Ruler-sama’s personal training!』

Once again, Girimekhala shouted with voice that could literally ruptured eardrums.

『Thorough training, huh. This is the first time he gave such instruction.』

The man with dragon head, clad in foreign golden attire said so while crossing his arms.

『So? What do you think the reason is for that terrifying Personage to give such absurd instruction to us?』

Responding to the question of the red-haired youth with pair of wings on his back, Girimekhala’s face formed an extremely wicked smile and,

『I received a report from our scout saying that the race called demon race who live in the north of this place is undergoing some sort of ritual.』

The moment Girimekhala spun such words as if he sung them,

""

『Enough with that roundabout! Can you get to the point already!?』

The man with dragon head asked, with irritated voice.

『In short, it’s the ritual to summon one of the six evil army’s general.』

Another commotion incomparable to before broke out.

『SIX GENERALS OF EVIL ARMY!? NO WAY, DOES THAT MEAN THIS LAND IS THE CHESSBOARD OF HEAVENLY DEMON GAME!?』

Girimekhala nodded to the man with dragon head, his three eyes were bloodshot.

『Yes, no doubt about it! They tried to turn this land into the chessboard for that extremely wicked game! Yes, it’s none other than this land, the land governed by Our Supreme Ruler! Soon, this land will turn into sea of flame due to the collission between heavenly army and evil army! ARE YOU GOING TO LET THEM TO DO THAT!?』

The rage of the otherworldy beings exploded at once the moment Girimekhala finished his words.

『UNFORGIVEABLE! ANYONE WHO DARES TO BARE THEIR FANGS TOWARD SUPREME RULER-SAMA SHALL BE SMASHED TO PIECES BY ME! WHERE ARE THEY!? WHERE ARE THOSE BAST*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS!?』

When the man with dragon head shouted like that,

『They really underestimate us huh… Sure enough, we’re far too weak compared to Supreme Ruler-sama. But still―― So what if they’re evil army or heavenly army? The current us can literally trash them with ease!』

The horned man with an intimidating face was really angry, blue veins throbbing nonstop on his forehead.

Amidst the rage of those otherworldly being, Girimekhala gestured with his hands, telling them to call them.

『THAT’S RIGHT! WE WON’T FORGIVE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT DISPLEASE OUR SUPREME RULER! THAT’S THE COMMON GROUND BETWEEN ALL OF US! OUR COLLISION WITH THEM IS IMMINENT! BUT, OUR SUPREME RULER HAS ALREADY TAKEN OUR MEASLY INDIGNATION INTO HIS PLAN. THE PLAN TO DRIVE THEM TO THE ABYSS OF DESPAIR HAS ALREADY BEEN DEPLOYED EVEN AS WE SPEAK RIGHT NOW. AND THEN――』

Girimekhala then lookign at Somni and Tetle. The other otherworldy being’s line of sight was also focused on the two.

Somni and Tetle couldn’t help but to feel like a frog being stared by snake.

『We have to train these two human to smash those evil army’s pride to pieces. Is that the plan of Supreme Ruler-sama?』

The moment the horned man with an intimidating look on his face asked so,

『EXACTLY!! SUPREME RULER SAMA WANTS TO SEE THEM BEING TOYED AROUND BY BUGS(HUMAN)!』

It was met with exploded excitement and delight. That was the only thing that Somni could express with his limited vocabulary.

The otherworldy beings were jumping happily, dancing around, shouting to the sky.

And then amidst such abnormal situation,

『Then, let’s appoint them as the subordinate for Oboro and co, Lucas, or Supreme Ruler-sama’s best disciple, Zack!』

『We’ve to give special training to Deimos who would teach them sorcery too. Let him to see the abyss of sorcery, no, let’s make him to step into the abyss!』

『I can teach them a good reinforcement training!』

『Yes, the passing bar is to let them gain their own divinity, as for how to surpass that, it’s up to their own resilience!』

『In the first place, their current state is way too feeble. Let’s not force them to break their body.』

The otherworldy beings were starting to throw one ominous remark after another while let out steam from their excited face.

「W-WAIT A MINUTE!」

Somni’s loud voice who shouted to stop them was,

『You two hear me out, you only have half year in real life! During that time, we will make the full use of Norn’s power to make a monster of you!』

swallowed by Girimekhala’s bestial roar.

That moment, the worst monsters from worst dungeon were completely misunderstood their Supreme Ruler’s intention. As a result, the human, demon, monster, and evil army―― Those poor lambs were forced to come into the same train as the most terrifying monster in this world. And the destination of that train was hell, or heaven. The tale of glory and ruin had finally entered its first phase.
