“Martial arts dance, “sword dance”.”
In a white and dark brown hakama, the prayer warrior danced leisurely in front of his enemy. He held one bronze sword in each hand.
‘Obviously, I have to get serious.’ thought the demon.
‘If I don’t kill him now, it will be irreversible!’
‘My reason and intuition told me that.’ The demon was unable to move against the strange atmosphere Kagura created.
It was a tremendous amount of mana – more than a raging Demon King.
“(Wh-Why is the Shrine of the God of Dance here? The wizard is one of yours? Is the God of Dance in cooperation with the Hero?)”
Priest of the God of Dance.
A characteristic kimono and two swords. They were a natural enemy of demons.
The biggest threat to the Demon King’s army were the heroes who frequently came to interfere with them. But the person they didn’t want to face the most was the God of Dance.
“If you see them, run away at once!”
‘I still remember the Demon King telling me that.’
‘Why would someone be afraid of him? Such a small person. He’s using a toy sword with a crushed blade! There’s no way someone could even get scratched with that.’
“Y-you. State your name! I am one of the four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s army. General of the Dragon Army, Guterres! I’m Guterres, the Duke of the Demon World!”
“Really? One of the Heavenly Kings. That’s why Yatagarasu cawed at the appearance of a demon.”
Kagura wished the Luna religion would do something about getting rid of demons so he didn’t have to.
He whispered, “Quick Steps.” in a small voice.
“Va- vanished …….”
“Ah, yes. I didn’t tell you my name. My name is Kagura, the name of the man who killed you, Guterres, the thirty-seventh head of the Maijin Grand Shrine.”
Suddenly, Kagura was standing near Guterre’s chest.
With the sword at his waist.
Guterres was a 3 meter tall giant. Eight arms thicker than logs and 120 tentacles growing out of his back. He could have used his arms and tentacles to kill the man in front of him, Kagura.
However, his body did not move at all.
“…..How come?”
‘Paralysis… no… I’ve already been cut.’
By the time he realized this, he had already been sliced into pieces. Guterres became a bloody splatter and collapsed.
Kagura cut Guterres’ tentacles and freed Lelia.
“Ka-Kagura… Th- thank you.”
“I’m sorry it took me so long to get here. I’m going to use a Prayer Kagura, “Healing Dance”.
With a bit of prayer dancing, I healed Lelia’s leg that was injured by Guterres.
“A- Amazing. A- ma- mana is flowing in, a lot of mana is flowing in.”
Lelia bit her lower lip, her face flushed and panting. Her front was open due to Guterres tearing her clothes. Needless to say, it was very seductive.
Kagura also felt embarrassed.
“Kagura-sama, and Lelia! Did you find the demon?”
“Oh, I just defeated it. “Kagura-san, behind you…””
◇
“Bastard, how dare you?
A voice with a hint of dread and menace, like the rotten vocal cords of a lifelong smoker.
I thought he was dead because I sliced him into tiny pieces with a sword that had holy attributes. I was lifted from behind by a firm grip on my head.
This position, where the entire weight of my body was concentrated on my neck, was somewhat painful.
I couldn’t do anything with Lelia in my arms.
“Catch!”
“Eh!? Wait- Kagura-kun!”
I threw Lelia to Seraphy and Teal.
They would be fine. After all, they were strong enough to be part of the Hero’s party. If they needed to fight their way out, they probably could.
Thump
What I expected didn’t happen. They let Lelia fall to the ground. It was as if I had thrown her away.
“Wh- why didn’t you catch me?”
“No matter what you say, being carried like a princess by Kagura-sama for a minor injury and even having him treat you… that’s so unnecessary.”
“That’s right. You got caught by that demon because you wanted Kagura to save you, right?”
“That’s fine. I’m sure you’ll be happy to know that it was me who found the demon.”
Eh, what? Why do I feel like Lelia is looking at me strangely?
When it comes to wizards and demons, it’s true that wizards are in a disadvantageous spot.. but when it comes to demons like that.. can’t they at least run away?
“And.. I’m kinda.. semi-naked. But Kagura-kun’s reaction was weak and I’m a little shocked that he threw me!?”
“I don’t care.”
I’m sorry.
It was a forced maneuver, because Guterres unexpectedly attacked me after I failed to kill him.
I clasped my hands together and made a gesture of apology to Lelia.
“So, is the charade over?”
“Oh, yes. Thank you for being so polite and waiting for me.”
If I were Guterres, I’d attack without mercy.
Well, if I were being attacked, I would deal with it as normal, so it wouldn’t make much difference.
With that in mind, I pulled out my sword from my waist.
“Prayer Kagura: Demon Dance.”
I threw my sword into the arm of Guterres, who was trying to crush my head, and he let go of me as if something very hot had touched him.
“…… I knew you were dangerous.”
Muttering, Guterres was a centipede-like monster. Much larger than the three meters he was previously – perhaps as large as 20 meters.
It grew something like human arms for legs and it was very unpleasant to look at.
Unpleasant to look at, unpleasant to cut and an unpleasant being.
That’s why I don’t like to deal with demons.
I poured divine energy into the sword which had been crushed.
This sword was not particularly strong, it wasn’t made of any special metal.
But God seems to like this ceremonial sword the best.
I could feel that God, who had never dwelt in me during my time as a holy knight, had poured his power into the sword.
Thank you very much.
“Damn it, I even transformed into the second form. I can’t win like this. I have to go back and report to the Demon Lord. ……”
“There’s no way I’m letting you go, is there?”
If he ran away from me here and rampaged through another city, Yatagarasu would never stop cawing at me.
“Quick Steps.”
It was difficult to support that ridiculously large figure with those arm-like legs. Guterres moved slowly.
“Na-….”
“Luna Swordsmanship: Saint Cross Saber!”
I cut Guterres with my blade.
At that moment, a huge cross of light emerged from where I had cut Guterres and he was absorbed by the light.
“W- why why!?”
“What is this? What sort of trickery is this?”
“Go back to hell, Guterres.”
Gyuuuu, bang.
The sound of the doors of hell opening rang. Shortly after, Guterres disappeared, as if he was being sucked into the ground.
He was dead. He disappeared without leaving a stench or a bad aftertaste.
“Seraphy, Lelia, Teal.. you traitors! Why are you in this city?”
I heard a familiar angry voice.
I turned around and the Hero was there.
