Chapter 137 Steady Advance

It felt like I’m on a jet coaster. Or maybe surfing? Moving up and down violently, riding on the surfing board that is the demonfolks, sweeping away all the ogre demons that came close to us.

“Outta the waaay!”

“Strike them down!”

“As your will! Make way for Demon King Velt-sama!”

“Be prepared, you ogres! How dare you! How dare you tricked us all!”

I knew too well of the demonfolks’ tenacity and magic power. The ogres are indeed boasting physical strength way stronger than the humans but when compared to the demonfolks that difference isn’t that big anymore.

Moreover, the ogres were now in disorder. While the demonfolks were in their highest morale. They can’t be stopped that easily.

“Wha, what the hell are these guys!”

“Co, commander! We can’t stop them!”

“Bastards! Why! Why are the demonfolks supporting the humans!”

Aah, my condolences to those ogres. Heck, I wanna ask what the hell is happening right now too.

“Come, kick their asses! My brethrens!” (Rumba)

“We shall dedicate the mountains of ogre dead bodies for our previous Demon King, Sharkryuu-sama nari!” (Bardo)

“Let’s advance together with our new Demon King ain’t it!” (Jonga)

Don’t go fan them uuuuuuuup!

“ “ “ “ “ UUUOOOOOOOOHHHHHH “ “ “ “ “

Don’t get fanned uuuuuuup!

These guys are done for, I need to do something quick now or…

Aah, look, not only the ogres even the humans are at a loss.

“Corps commander! They, those demonfolks, are they helping us?”

“I do not understand. However, they shouted it themselves. Princess Forna’s lover, Velt-dono is the Demon King Velt!”

“It can’t be! Hey, could it be he is from the demon race? Ship! If I’m not mistaken, you’re from the same town as him right? Is he really from demon race?”

“No, he really isn’t or… rather, I don’t really understand him anymore now.”

Ship, people will misunderstand you like that so just deny it with more confidence!

I mean, no matter how you see it I’m just being dragged into this!

“In any case, we won’t miss this opportunity! The enemies are currently in chaos!”

“All troops, follow after the demonfolks!”

The Great Human Alliance Army’s morale was rising back up.

This small confusion can be said a once in a lifetime chance, everyone was able to understand that and stood once again to face against the ogres.

The war situations has now changed.

“Are you stupid?”

“Nuooh!”

At that moment, someone came to the sand golem at vanguard of these troops that’s currently breaking through enemies like surging waves. Howe has come chasing here by herself.

“Howe! You did well coming here.” (Velt)

“Don’t look down on me. Though not as good as Princess Forna, I’m still good at physique and speed enhancement myself.” (Howe)

Despite her face looking tired after running with all her strength all the way here, Howe managed to chase after the sand golem. She was glaring at me as she drank from the water canteen from her waist and steadying her breathing.

“It’s an order from the Princess. I have no choice but to look after you in this war alright.” (Howe)

“Oh, ooh, I see, my bad.” (Velt)

“Yea, that’s how you should be. Moreover, what’s happening? What is this situation? Since when did you become a Demon King?” (Howe)

I wanna ask that myself.

“Hey, you human over there, you shouldn’t talk with Velt-sama so impudently like that.” (Rumba)

“Yea yea, I got it. Just let me accompany him. If something were to happen to him, things back home would be in a mess.” (Howe)

I’m truly sorry for that.

Somehow it felt like as if Howe had become stupid, she spread both of her legs and sat on the sand golem looking as if sulking.

Is she angry? As her hair was being swept by the head wind, her expression as she look to the front was hard to see.

And then it happened at that time.

“What the hell are you dooooing, you demon folks! Have you forgotten of what I said!”

There was that geezer on the front, above in the sky. It’s that guy named Sudou.

“If you lend us your strength in the war, we will rescue Princess Ura who is being imprisoned in the Human Continent, do you intend to trample over that agreement!” (Sudou)

Sudou’s face was reddened by anger. But it’s unfortunate.

“SUDOOOOOOOOOOU!” (Rumba)

“I won’t forgive you-nari!” (Bardo)

“I’ll start this off with killing you ain’t it!” (Jonga)

As their faces became red with anger, the faces of other demonfolks also became incredibly scary.

“Eeeeeeh, wha, what the heeeeeeellll!”

And so they kept cursing each other…

“Ba, bastards! Fine then! You shall be destroyed along with humans! Come forward! Mad Ogre Corps!” (Sudou)

Ooh, finally they came out. The earth was rumbling caused by the evidently deviant giant ogres. Their numbers were approximately fifty. Even with just fifty, they can easily thrashed thousands of humans.

Their drools were dripping and their eyes bulging out.

As expected we can’t beat them with just spirit or vigor right?

However,

“Fuh, ogre bastards, we will now show you our powers! Here I go! Magical Burst Shot!” (Rumba)

She condensed mana and shot it out as a magic canon, in just one shot a giant ogre’s head was blown off.

“O thousands of demon birds. Now dance in the skies once again and devour all of your preys-nari! Summon Dark Crow!” (Bardo)

The flock of crows from the evil shrouded Demon Continent were summoned and swarmed over the giant ogres.

“Ogres? Laughable! Know that it is my mentor’s fist and spirit that was the true embodiment of ogre god ain’t it! Makyoku Karate Secret Fist ・Demonic Hand Fist!” (Jonga)

Note: 鬼神 means fierce god in dictionary but we can also translate it as ogre god word by word. It can be read as Kishin and onigami. And here the kanji for the technique魔極神カラーテ秘拳・魔手拳

Along with his yell, his simple knifehand strike chopped a ten meter class giant mad ogre and split it into two.

The heck,

“uuUOOOAA, se, seriooouslyyyy!” (Velt)

That was close, I almost got into a fight with them. If I were to get cornered I’d be dead for sure.

“Uoooh, follow after the Royal Guards!”

“Ogres are nothing!”

“You big idiots, here I come!”

“Alright, demonfolks don’t lose! We humans will also show you our strength!”

“Righteousness is courage!”

Haha, amazing. Their vigor seems limitless. It’s already went beyond ogre hunt and more like bullying them.

“Yo, you, bastards! You cockroaches demonfolks! Fine then, I myself will take care of you! With this very ogre’s incredible magic!” (Sudou)

The wriggling geezer floating mid air was screaming as his face dyed red.

“Huh, be careful!” (Rumba)

“Velt-sama, please step back-nari” (Bardo)

“Phantom Ogre Sudou, though he usually known for his resourcefulness as a general, he is originally a rippin’ battle mage ain’t he!”

Well, even you say so… but… isn’t he seems full of openings?

He suddenly just went and made a speech you know?

Can we just take of advantage of that opening?

“The earth will roar! The skies shall rampage! The world will tremble! I shall show you! I, the one who was called the wizard of ogres, the one who has won through the fierce competitions in the Hell Demon Kingdom, the one who has his name thundered aloud in the Demon Continent, even the world, the strongest magic that I who has engraved his name into the annals of history has developed myself! Normally I keep it sealed with this specially made robe because it is a tremendously enormous magic, but the moment I take off this robe, I will regain back all of my strength! The world itself will become hell, you shall bear witness to this hell of a magic--------“ (Sudou)

“Fuwa Fuwa Merry Go Round!” (Velt)

“Hebwaoa! Uboooo, my, my eyes, spinniiiiiiing!”

He has too much gaps, this geezer. Since he said he would become strong after taking off his robe so I tried to beat him before he took it off. And so despite being an ogre, his physical strength is just the same as an old man.

“Reroooooooooon, obeeeeeeeee” (Sudou)

I pulled Sudou who has fainted and almost fallen down while vomiting closer to me with Fuwa Fuwa magic. Somehow, making an old man so shocked that he was spasming making my heart a bit pained, anyway for now I need to do just that.

“Eh uhm, did I done wrong?” (Velt)

I tried to look at Rumba and her group for a test, somehow their eyes were amazingly sparkling and looked so deeply moved.

“This, this is unbelievable! Velt-sama not only got the acknowledgement of our previous Demon King and Ura-sama… but also, with his own strength defeated that Sudou from the Six Great Ogre Generals without even touching him!” (Rumba)

And then, as if that emotion got exploded around, those three raised up their fist in excitement.

“One of the Six Great Ogre Generals, Sudou! Velt Jeeha-sama has defeated him!” (Rumba)

“ “ “ “ “ UOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH “ “ “ “ “

“No well, he isn’t dead alright! Hey, stop this! I feel absolutely like I won’t be able to step back anymore after this you know!” (Velt)

“You, really… you’re making my head hurt.” (Howe)

Beside the Howe who was hugging her head while crouching Rumba was raising up the demon folks spirit, their morale is now raising up over and over.

“ “ “ “ “ Velt-sama! Velt-sama! Velt- sama! Velt-sama! “ “ “ “ “

“ “ “ “ “To Demon King Velt-sama, banzai! To Princess Ura, banzai! To Demon King Velt-sama, banzai! To Princess Ura, banzai!” “ “ “ “

The demonfolks was singing loudly.

“Gen, General Sudou!”

“Im, Impossible! What is this, who the hell are these people!”

“Hey, report this to General [Togeni] who is fighting against the Roaring Flames Barts and his group! We need to fall back at once and reform our ranks!”

“All troops, fall back! Fall back!”

Either way, despite Sudou himself is as geezer he is something like one of the gigantic pillars for the ogres. And now one of that pillar has collapsed, the ogres immediately pulled back with their faces pale, stopping their attacks.

As the humans looked at that situation, they pursuit them relentlessly with faces full of hope.

“A, amazing! We, we made the ogres retreat!”

“This, this is something big! It’s just yesterday we were completely defeated by the ogres, but now the ogres are afraid against us!”

It’s not only hope. It’s plain to see that they’re also regaining their confidence.

We can also do it. We can win. We can defeat them.

That feeling spread around the Great Human Alliance Army, rising up their morale.

“O, ooooh, it’s like, I did something amazing.” (Velt)

“It is your strength Velt-sama.” (Rumba)

I’d like to deny that but, well that is indeed what happened, can I think of it like that?

As I watched the fleeing ogres with complicated feelings, some people ran up to the sand golem.

“Velt! Are you alright?”

“Velt, Howe, what have you done!”

“Hey! You, how the hell did this happen!”

“Please explain it.”

The ones who have climbed up the golem were a group of four, Shout, Barts, Doremifa, and Solasido.

“Hey, you guys. Aren’t you guys supposed to fight against that cheeky ogre. That one that looks like needle pin holder, that spiky thorny ogre.”

“Spiky thorny? Ah, one of the Six Great Ogre Demon General, the [Hell Thorn Ogre Togeni], you mean. We four managed to corner him but he has already retreated.”

“We were very close alright! But, this too is already very amazing!”

“But still, what the heck did you do? When we met at the Empire I thought you were already someone I can’t understand, but now a Demon King? Why the heck you a Demon King?”

“It’s incomprehensible isn’t it.”

It looks like these guys also made it safe. And so was the same with the Great Human Alliance Army, they’re being elated with the current morale and war situation.

It seems like things are going fine isn’t it. This is good.

“Velt-sama, are they your comrades?” (Rumba)

“Yea, something like that.” (Velt)

“Velt, who are they?”

“They’re the ones who served Ura in the past. Their kingdom got destroyed then they got caught by the ogres, they got deceived and were being used by them.” (Velt)

For now, I explained that Rumba and co aren’t our enemies.

Of course, while Doremifa and Solasido were Ayase’s subordinate so they weren’t that much related to this but Shout and Barts were different.

They were shocked as they made a bitter smile.

“So they’re Princess Ura’s. I see, so it can’t be helped that you assume the name of a king huh.”

“Ah. Don’t make yourself got blown away by Princess Forna later alright.”

“No well, how come you agreed to be a Demon King. It is weird no matter how I think about it, right? So why do you became a Demon King?”

“Give it up. If we deny it here, we will lose their support and be in a predicament instead.”

And then, at such a time Doremifa realized something.

“Hm? Oi Velt, is this vomit splattered dirty old man alright… hey, he is him! Isn’t he Sudou from Six Great Ogre Demon Generals!” (Doremifa)

“ “ “EEEEEEHHHHH!” “ “

The faces of Shouts and others who was wryly smiling took a complete change.

“Aaah, he was full of openings so I made a quick one on him, he became like this after that.” (Velt)

And what happened next? Doremifa got so faint that he was staggering while showing the white of his eyes, as he was like that he held both of my shoulders and then cried away.

“We, we as, as the Ten Heroes of Light, even we as the champions of the world… acknowledged him, that Sudou who had made his name resounded out far and wide… that Sudou whom we can’t even defeat even after so many sacrifices… somehow got done in quick and was beaten out, what the hell are you on about dammiiiiiiit!” (Doremifa)

And following that, Shout and Barts no longer able to hold themselves back they hold onto my collars and swinging them wildly.

“I, we, don’t you know how much we’ve went through! Velt, you really! I don’t know whether I should praise you or not, what the hell are you!”

“We made ourselves looked stupid! You not only become a Demon King but also beaten one of the Six Great Ogre Demon Generals, what is up with you!”

“You… you… now I can well understand why someone like you can throw Princess Arusha out of her pace.”

“Stop getting violent on Velt-sama!” (Rumba)

“Even though he is your friend he is also our king-nari!” (Bardo)

“You should know your position ain’t it!” (Jonga)

Still, the steady advance of humans proceeded on.

“Velt! Hehe, bastard, the hell you’ve done!”

“Velt-kun!”

“I knew it, Velt-kun isn’t someone who’d just sit by.”

“Demon King? We won’t let it. You are the one who is going to become the king of our Elfarshia Kingdom isn’t it?”

Seemingly realizing the situation, Ship, Chet, Sanne, and Hawk climbed up the sand golem and gathered around us.

The situation felt like we’re in a class reunion again. However having come this far it can’t be helped. After passing through all of this Forna would be just right ahead.

“Yareyare, actually I was thinking to just trust that she will come back and wait but no choice. Let’s just go and meet her ourselves, shall we?” (Velt)

Shall I just go with the flow? To the palace of ogres.

Note: what Velt said was 鬼ヶ島 (Onigashima) but I changed it to match the context. It means Island of Ogres/Demons.

Having forced to do high five by my friends, I was able to pump up a bit of spirit. Really it can’t be helped.

And so…

“Hmh……”

As I was only looking up front while being in that atmosphere I was able to realize something though only a little. In a place a bit separated from our circle, Howe was murmuring something.

“This is intelligence operative・007. An emergency situation has occurred. Reporting to Vice President, General Tyler.” (Howe)

I wasn’t able to hear what she was saying and wasn’t interested in it either. My gaze was only locked to the ogres’ headquarters.
