The Magic Sword Hero Is Defeated; The Adventurers Guild Calls for Help / An Xiu: "How Can Mere Demons Compare to My Companions' Hard Work and Sweat?" ...

"It's smaller, the layout is smaller."

Meli waved his hand without hesitation.

"It's just a mere bounty. It's not worth paying attention to at all. What we really need to do is to use this superior demon to build momentum for our team and An Xiu, who is Braver."

"Building momentum?"

"That's right, although I originally released a prophecy about Braver, one prophecy alone is not enough to convince everyone of our team and Mr. An Xiu who is Braver. If we want to convince more people who don't know us, we must show a good enough record."

"Although you can gain fame by searching for the demon king/military cadres and crusading against them all the way, but now you cannot let go of this superior demon, and you should make good use of it."

"I plan to reveal the news about the appearance of the superior demon Axel, so that the Adventurer guild can seek support from outsiders with enough weight."

"It would be best if the people who come to support can defeat the superior demon, and it will save us the trouble of taking action. And if the people who come to support are defeated by the superior demon, we can also attack and kill the superior demon after it proves its strength."

Of course, that's what they say, but in fact Meli knows that those who come to support Axel will definitely be defeated by that superior demon.

On the one hand, this is what is written in the original work. Mitsurugi Kyouya, who came to support Axel, was indeed defeated. At this moment, Axel is outside Axel, looking for Evil God Wolbach. On the other hand, Vanir, who is wandering in half-body form, is a superior demon whose strength is comparable to that of a demon king/military cadre. Even if one does not know the original story, there are very few beings in this world who can defeat the superior demon.

Therefore, as long as the plan goes smoothly, in the end their team can still make Kingdom of Belzerg famous even if her and Artoria's existence is not exposed.

Chapter 222: Demon Sword Braver is defeated, Adventurer Guild asks for help

Meli's plan went very smoothly. After it was revealed that a superior demon was wandering outside the city of Axel, the Adventurer guild of Axel immediately sought help from the outside.

This request for assistance was quickly responded to.

"Is it a superior demon? I feel like it will be a very powerful opponent."

"But don't worry, leave it to me. I will attack them before they attack the city."

Kingdom of Belzerg Adventurer ranked third. Mitsurugi Kyouya, known as the Demon Sword User, stood at the front desk of Axel's Adventurer guild and accepted the crusade commission.

Since the information given by Meli was very detailed, including not only the appearance characteristics of the superior demon, but also the scope of the other party's recent activities, after accepting the commission, Mitsurugi Kyouya set out outside the city without hesitation.

"Will this Mr. Demon Swordsman succeed?"

Sitting in a seat in a corner of the Adventurer guild, Yunyun witnessed this scene and asked in a low voice to the companions beside him.

"In terms of strength alone, this demon sword user is capable of defeating superior demons, but the most difficult thing about demons is that they are extremely intelligent and cunning."

"If there is no precaution in advance and the superior demon is simply regarded as a powerful monster, the magic sword user will probably suffer a big loss."

I just listened to Chris analyze it and then made a judgment.

It can only be said that it is indeed the trumpet account opened by Eris in the human world. Even without knowing the plot in advance like An Xiu, Meli and Artoria, the judgment made is basically consistent with the actual situation.

In the KonoSuba side story, which is the original plot of offering explosive fire to a beautiful world, Mitsurugi Kyouya was indeed seriously injured by a careless blow after encountering Vanir.

Even though he was seriously injured by the first striker, Mitsurugi Kyouya still cut off the wings of Vanir before losing his combat ability. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, he is absolutely capable of defeating superior demons if he is not careful.

It's a pity that reality has no ifs. Without An Xiu and others warning them in advance, the other party's outcome was basically doomed.

Outside the Axel city, Mitsurugi Kyouya, who was holding a magic sword, led the way to the area where the superior demon wandered in the intelligence. Some distance behind Mitsurugi Kyouya was followed by a group of ordinary Adventurer who volunteered to follow them out of the city, intending to provide assistance in the crusade against the superior demon at the critical moment.

"This is it."

Arriving at the area where the superior demon was found according to the information provided by the Adventurer guild, looking at the forest in front of him, Mitsurugi Kyouya immediately prepared for battle.

At the same time, Vanir, who was wandering around looking for the half body of Evil God Wolbach, also noticed that many people were approaching the area where it was located.

"What's going on? Are these guys... here to attack me?"

Adventurer and Vanir don't care about those ordinary Adventurer who have followed here. With the exaggerated physical attributes of the superior demon, even if it stands still, a group of ordinary Adventurer can't possibly hurt it.

But Mitsurugi Kyouya and Vanir, who are the leaders, are somewhat cautious. After all, the opponent does have the ability to threaten it, and more importantly, Mitsurugi Kyouya itself has a bounty on the Demon King/Army, so Vanir, knowing that the opponent is the enemy, chose to take action without hesitation.

Whoosh!!!

A harsh sound broke through the air, and Mitsurugi Kyouya, who was looking for enemies in the forest, immediately felt the extreme danger. With the hairs all over his body exploding, he immediately turned around and waved his sword to face the enemy.

However, when he turned around and swung his magic sword, the attack fell into the air. Vanir's huge figure belonging to the devil appeared beside Mitsurugi Kyouya and hit the opponent with one blow.

Rumble!!!

In an instant, Mitsurugi Kyouya's body flew out, broke countless trees, and fell to the ground.

Facing Vanir who still wanted to take advantage of the victory, Mitsurugi Kyouya endured his injuries to activate the power of the magic sword, and then swung the sword.

With the powerful power of the magic sword, this blow successfully forced Vanir back. Adventurer and Mitsurugi Kyouya's companions in the rear immediately rushed into the battlefield and evacuated with Mitsurugi Kyouya.

The Kingdom's third Adventurer, who had high hopes, failed to defeat the superior demon with the magic sword user Mitsurugi Kyouya and was seriously injured. This incident undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Adventurer who withdrew Axel. Many Adventurer still had expressions of disbelief on their faces when they evacuated the battlefield and returned to Axel.

"How could this happen? The Demon Sword user was defeated with one strike?"

"It's too powerful. Such an enemy is definitely at the level of a demon king/military cadre."

"Even the Demon Sword User is no match for us. How can we defeat such an enemy?"

Since the main purpose of Vanir was just to find the half body of Evil God Wolbach, they did not choose to pursue and kill them. Only then could these Adventurers who went out to help defeat the superior demons return to the city safely.

Fortunately, since Mitsurugi Kyouya chose to go deep alone at the beginning, only Mitsurugi Kyouya suffered heavy losses in this crusade, while the other Adventurer suffered no casualties.

However, this was not enough to dispel the gloom that enveloped everyone in the city.

After all, even the demon sword's Braver was defeated. Once the superior demon chooses to attack the city, who can they expect to defeat him?

"Speaking of which, although Braver of the Demon Sword was defeated, if I remember correctly, the team formed by Braver in the prophecy should still be among Axel, right?"

At this time, someone remembered the An Xiu team that recruited team members in the Adventurer guild not long ago.

Unlike Sword Kyouya's Demonic Sword Hero, which is a nickname that is only passed down by word of mouth among adventurers, with the royal endorsement represented by Merry and Artoria, who are the chief court magicians of the kingdom, Anxiu's brave name is far more valuable than any Demonic Sword Hero.

"It's just that even the prophesied Braver has just formed his own adventure team. Can he really defeat the superior demon at a low level?"

Some Adventurer questioned it. In fact, this was the reason why no one came to the An Xiu team to defeat the superior demon before.

Even if Braver in the prophecy can be recognized by the royal family, how can it be possible to defeat a powerful superior demon without experiencing any growth?

But now, with the defeat of Demon Sword's Braver, Adventurer of Axel who can't wait for other support, including the Adventurer guild, seems to have the only option of trusting Miracle.

Chapter 223: An Xiu: How can a mere devil compare to the efforts and sweat of his companions?

"That's what happened. Now due to the threat from the superior demon, Axel has fallen into a very dangerous situation and has to seek help from Master Braver."

"We also know that this may be a bit overwhelming, but if Master Braver and all of you are really capable of solving that powerful superior demon, please be sure to help us. We have no other way at the moment."

In the Adventurer guild, Luna, a guild staff member, asked An Xiu and others with an apologetic look. Not far away were other Adventurer who looked equally nervous.

After all, the Braver team in front of us is Axel's last hope to defeat the superior demon.

Seeing this scene, Artoria and An Xiu in the An Xiu team looked at each other and then stood up.

"We will go to fight against the superior demon wandering outside the city. Before that, please ask the guild to organize the residents not to leave the city to avoid being harmed."

"Really, is there really no problem? Please don't force yourself. The superior demon is not only powerful, but also very cunning. Even the team of Lord Braver..."

Luna, who was standing in front of An Xiu and others, was hesitant to speak. Now that the guild came to seek help from An Xiu's team, it was actually treating a dead horse as a living doctor. Normally, it was natural for them to be rejected due to lack of strength.

After all, everyone knows that it is purely whimsical to allow a newly formed Adventurer team to defeat a superior demon that is comparable to the Demon King/Army Cadres.

However, looking at Artoria who spoke in front of him, although he did not know the other party's true identity, the other party's calm attitude and calm and slightly majestic tone made Luna unconsciously swallow the subsequent words of persuasion. Even the Adventurer guild hall, which was supposed to be noisy, seemed to become quiet now as Artoria opened his mouth.

Noticing the change in the atmosphere at the scene, Artoria stopped talking. An Xiu also stood up at the right moment and walked to Artoria, looking at the guild front desk lady with an outstanding figure in front of her.

"Don't worry. Since we are willing to accept this crusade commission, it naturally means that we have our own confidence."

"Besides, although the team has just been established, I believe that with the hard work and sweat that my companions and I have put in day after day, we will be able to defeat the superior demon."

An Xiu's words fell in the hall of Adventurer Guild, awakening all the ordinary Adventurers who were still immersed in the momentum that Artoria had unintentionally revealed before.

After listening to An Xiu's words, these Adventurers all seemed to be encouraged by the words and looked excited.

"Yes, how could all the hard work and sweat accumulated in daily life be lost to a demon so easily?"

"We thought wrong before. If we choose not to fight because of fear, wouldn't all our past efforts be in vain?"

"I believe in my companions, and at the same time I believe in the sweat and efforts that I and my companions have put in in the past. I am truly worthy of Braver..."

Although I don't know why the meaning of my words was inexplicably misinterpreted, the effect was pretty good anyway, and An Xiu did not correct it.

However, in response to what he said, Chris and others behind An Xiu had strange expressions on their faces.

Did they remember it wrong? Why don't they remember what efforts and sweat they put in after joining this team? It seems that they haven't received a single commission since the team was first established, right?

But looking at An Xiu's determined look, could it be that they have really worked hard without their knowledge?

The non-existent Remembrance was added.

In this way, An Xiu's team accepted the subjugation commission.

The next day, outside the forest where the superior demon had previously haunted, a large group of Adventurer had gathered.

"I feel a little nervous."

He was about to fight a powerful superior demon. Yunyun in An Xiu's team was taking deep breaths to cheer himself up.

"Well, actually don't worry too much. With Miss Artoria and Miss Meli here, it's very easy to defeat a superior demon. We just need to perform normally."

Chris, who was standing aside, spoke to comfort him.

Unlike those Adventurer who don't know the truth, these team members all know the true identities of Artoria and Meli.

With Artoria's previous record and Meli's name as the chief palace master of the kingdom True Magic, wouldn't it be easy to capture a mere high-level demon?

However, just as everyone nodded, Meli expressed a different opinion.

"No, no, no, Yunyun's idea is right. In this battle, Liya, I and Master An Xiu will not take action directly."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Meli's words, everyone except An Xiu, Meli, and Artoria were startled.

"Isn't it strange? This is normal, right? We are in the same team. If the battle depends entirely on me and Liya, wouldn't the establishment of this team be completely meaningless?"

"But, anyway, without the help of Miss Meli and Miss Artoria, it would be a bit... too difficult for us to defeat the superior demon like this?"

"Moreover, forget about Miss Meli and Miss Artoria, why won't even Mr. An Xiu take action?"

"As you said, as the captain of this Adventurer team, isn't it normal for me to leave the battle and other matters to you team members?"

Just listen to An Xiu speak naturally.

"How on earth do you think it's so natural to exploit your companions?"

Darkness, who was in the front row of the team, gritted his teeth, but considering the existence of Artoria, he could only swallow the next words.

So why would His Highness Artoria be loyal to such a guy who is completely unworthy of the name Braver? It is obvious that this guy's behavior is something that even she, who is usually in a serious state because she stays with His Highness Artoria, can't stand.

Chris did not continue to speak at this time. She was considering the chances of her team's victory against the superior demon after removing An Xiu, Meli and Artoria.

In the frontal battle, Darkness can hold up the front, and Yunyun can be used as the main output in the rear. At the critical moment, Megumin can use Explosion Magic to hit the key blow, plus his own...

Well, although this configuration is already considered a super model for the newly established Adventurer team, even under the most ideal circumstances, their chances of winning against superior demons are still very slim.

Fortunately, although Meli was very mean-spirited and told everyone the news before the battle, she did not mean to deliberately embarrass everyone.

I saw Meli waving the staff in his hand, and suddenly the sky full of petals formed by the magic power fell from Sky Manipulation, slowly falling on everyone.

"So beautiful..."

As mages, Yunyun and Megumin did not react to this scene. They only felt that their magic power seemed to have increased.

As for Darkness and Chris, who are melee professionals, the feeling is very obvious. While these petals are falling, all the attributes of their bodies have been greatly improved.

Chapter 224: The defeat of the superior demon, the strength of An Xiu team

"Do you feel it? This is a special enhanced service for True Magic girl☆Meli-chan. Do you feel that power is continuously emerging from your body?"

Meli, who used the enhanced True Magic to temporarily improve everyone's attributes, took back the staff and looked at everyone's amazed expressions with pride.

Of course, except for An Xiu and Artoria.

Trivia: Although Meli, the female version of Merlin, has almost the same abilities as Merlin in terms of setting, there are still some differences between the two in terms of individual abilities.

For example, in the setting, the [Hero Creation] level on the Servant panel of the male version Merlin is A, while the [Hero Creation] skill level of Meli is only C.

In a way, it also corresponds to Meli's own character. After all, you can't expect a less humane person than Merlin to be able to do his best to help others.

However, the skill level on the Servant panel does not represent the real strength, especially for an existence like Meli whose main body is still alive in the original settings. The temporarily fabricated Servant clone panel is just like a picture. The real Meli's attainments in Reinforcement Magecraft are still very impressive.

At least for everyone in the current An Xiu team, the effect of Meli's Reinforcement Magecraft can be said to be immediate. Now, they only feel that they are terrifyingly strong.
