Hey, Seras.

Undress yourself right here.

Pardon?

The guys in Mills must have remembered your attire.

Sorry for the confusion.

It's true that I was upset...

W-Wait.

When did we agree on continuing the contract?

I have a proposal.

How about we negotiate with the Forbidden Witch to hide you?

The Forbidden Witch?

Nobody can confirm her whereabouts, right?

Correct.

To obtain information on the ancient spells,

I need to enter the Golden Demon Zone.

So I guess we can continue our contract.

Why go so far for me?

You remind me of her.

Your look and way of speaking differ from hers,

and neither does your personality...

But if I had to say, it's your aura...

To ditch you here would be like ditching my aunt and running away.

You really are kind, Sir Touka.

Well, I'm trying to be aware of this.

No EXP for me, huh.

All right.

If you answer our questions truthfully, I'll spare you.

You brat!

Don't you think you can survive

- I'm not lying. - after defying the Black Dragon Knights!

I'll just release the "Non-Lethal" setting and relieve him of his suffering.

Who is after my life?

F-Fine.

I, Gizun, am also interested in this.

How a former high elf princess, who raised her sword as a knight to the holy nation,

would react to the truth, that is!

Seras!

They're out of my range now.

But that's beside the point...

That guy...

Seras Ashrain.

White outfit, white hair...

And only his eyes are glaring red.

My name is Civit.

But many in the world seem to call me by another name.

That is, "Humanity's Strongest."

06. HUMANITY'S STRONGEST, CIVIT GARLAND

Hand it over.

Huh?

The most powerful being in your land...

Hand it over to me.

Civit Garland...

And the Five Dragon Knights too...

There are only four of them here.

FIVE DRAGON KNIGHTS - BLACK DRAGON KNIGHTS

FIVE DRAGON KNIGHTS - BLACK DRAGON KNIGHTS We're missing one.

I have silenced him, Oban.

(Oban) Hey, did we really have to kill him?

You've got to keep your habit of making easy money in check.

This is mostly instigated by Ortora, no?

Seras...

Everything about you made this old, withered king...

...into a vigorous male again.

I don't regret letting you go.

I do not.

When I imagine you getting defiled by other men...

Oh, Seras!

I'll give you all the money you want.

I'll also happily give you anything else you want!

Anything I can give!

So please...

Please begone from this world and die!

King Ortora thought of me like that?

Oh, look at her frozen solid.

Poor thing.

Gizun was a potential thorn in this stage.

Hence, I killed him.

But had he dodged, I would have spared him.

I rendered Gizun paralyzed,

but either way, he wouldn't have time to dodge.

How do we deal with Seras Ashrain?

What did the Emperor say?

SCHWEIZ He's leaving it all to us.

I have a suggestion.

What about rotating her to our men as a reward first and then getting rid of her?

Come on, we can't do that, Schweiz.

The former holy king wanted us to bring her corpse in a state of purity.

What nonsense are you talking about?!

As long as you're alive, that old man seems to not be able to die peacefully.

S-Such nonsense...

I shall bestow you the right to reclaim your life.

Right?

If you duel with Lord Civit and win, you will be forgiven, Miss Seras.

MITAMA The renowned leader of the Holy Knights,

hailing from the Holy Kingdom, with her Spirit Regalia...

You can fight me with your Spirit Regalia.

Or at least, that's what I thought earlier.

Lord Civit?

For some reason, I'm more interested in the boy than you now, Seras Ashrain.

CIVIT GARLAND - LEADER OF BLACK DRAGON KNIGHTS Who are you, boy?

I have a blade at my throat right now.

But he's still out of my range.

Humanity's Strongest, Civit Garland...

He's far more dangerous than the Soul Eater...

What are you smirking for?

Oh, yeah.

Why would I smile especially at times like this?

Hey, Civit Garland.

Let's chat for a bit.

I'll have to ask your name first.

Hati Skoll.

An alias, huh?

Well, yeah.

You need to keep your real name a secret...

Seems like you have your circumstances.

Lord Civit, why so interested in him?

Don't you find it strange?

Even before the Five Dragon Knights, he's not trembling.

He might be planning something if there's a chance.

Him? To you?

He understands that if he makes a bad move, I will kill him instantly.

Even amid the situation, he smirks and wishes to chat.

Huh...

What a perceptive guy.

It's still too early for the curtain to come down.

Don't rush it.

Make the wrong choice and it's over in a flash.

I have a question.

Very well. Speak.

I see you're looking for an enemy that can satisfy you, right?

You're not mistaken.

But if you're looking for a match so powerful beyond man,

there are plenty of them around, aren't there?

Like that goddess from Alion.

Bakuos Empire and Alion have a close relationship.

However,

I have great expectations for the heroes of the other world summoned by the goddess.

The heroes of the other world

are rapidly approaching the strongest position by the power of blessings.

They indeed are the befitting enemies of me,

- Civit Garland. - What's exuding from him is absolute pride.

- I truly expect the best. - What's exuding from him is absolute pride.

The only thing he craves is a battle with the strong.

The Humanity's Strongest has a lot to spare...

Seras Ashrain,

- The power, touted as the stronger... - I'm no longer interested in fighting you.

Let me at least present your head to Princess Cattleya of Neia.

You can't do that...

Silence, you conceding feeble woman!

Besides, the reason why Bakuos changed its policy and invaded Neia...

...is you, Seras Ashrain.

What...

Look at you, trying to act surprised.

You must have had a hunch, right?

Neia was destroyed by Bakuos,

because the former holy king refused the goddess' request...

...to give her the Holy Knight.

This is only a given.

No way...

There's no one more disheartening than one who doesn't struggle in the face of death.

Despite their vulnerability, as long as they face me...

It goes without saying,

I prefer above all that one who's powerful enough to kill me should come at me.

I've assembled it.

The path toward survival...

Civit Garland.

You want a match who may threaten your life, right?

You're not mistaken.

Then I'll be your opponent.

You mentioned rapidly reaching the strongest position through the power of blessings, right?

This card I'm dealing with might be a watershed.

My real name is Touka Mimori.

I'm a hero from the other world.

Hm?

What?

Wha...

You're from the other world?

I get the point.

So that's what was strange about you.

But what are you doing here?

He can detect lies.

I can't make something up here.

I'm in a unique position among the summoned heroes.

That's why I'm separating myself from the other heroes.

The very goddess made me do it.

There's no lie in what I just said.

All of it is the truth.

But the interpretation is up to him.

Why are you separating yourself from the others?

I seem to be of a different rank than the rest of them.

Oh...

Yes. I'm an E-Rank hero,

I'm of a different rank than the rest.

Because of that, I'm operating on my own.

The man considered special by the goddess, eh?

Yeah.

Apparently, to the goddess, I'm a hero of a different class.

Interesting.

So, what do you wish as a hero of the other world from me?

For a postponement.

You want me to let you go here?

What's in it for me?

I'll become stronger and kill you.

Kill me?

I'll become stronger than anyone.

I will gain enough power...

...to overpower everything in the extreme, even that goddess!

Then let me ask you this.

How do you intend to become stronger?

I'm heading toward the Golden Demon Zone.

She said she was trying to make me take a different path than the other heroes.

Which is why I'm now being granted freedom by the goddess.

If you manage to survive and come back above,

we will not bother with you, and give you the free right to live.

I plan on going back to the goddess someday.

So you don't intend on disappearing?

Of course not.

Yeah, I'll definitely return to her.

To get my revenge!

Very well.

I'd like to see it.

I want to see you improve, by all means.

Then I want us to have a death match.

Same here.

We'll settle it one day, once and for all, Civit Garland!

That fighting spirit and killing intent please me!

Very well, I'll let you go now, Touka Mimori!

We have a deal, then.

Feel free to leave this place.

We'll also leave after making sure Seras Ashrain is not breathing anymore.

I can't have that.

I still need Seras to get to the Golden Demon Zone.

You wish to carry her around without the goddess' permission?

That doesn't matter.

I want to use Seras to gain power.

That's all.

Fine, Touka Mimori!

I shall spare her as well, then!

H-Hey, Civit!

Touka said he needed her to gain power.

We can kill her after my battle with him.

But what if she goes hiding again...

Silence.

Or I'll kill you.

Sir Touka.

Sorry about this.

But this is the deal.

Schweiz, tell this to the Grimritter who's off on a bender somewhere.

Tell him to let these two go.

Understood.

The first act was far better than I had imagined.

Not a bad lead-in to the next act.

I look forward to the time when we meet again, Touka Mimori!

I succeeded.

I managed to have him let us go somehow.

I won the bet.

That means... they're in my range now!

Para...

Touka...

...lyze!

You little rascal!

Just as I expected, Humanity's Strongest.

Sorry, but I don't plan on getting involved with you for that long.

This isn't a noble story, Civit Garland.

For this is a story of revenge!

Logically speaking,

the current Black Dragon Knights are nothing but an unnecessary risk.

Hence, the next act will be your demise.

What did... you do... Touka?!

So I'm ending our thread, which was connected just now, right here!

Prepare yourselves, Black Dragon Knights!

Touka...

I told you.

My power is apparently of a different rank.

Poison.

Touka...

He's not Humanity's Strongest by name only...

This is the second time I've seen someone trying to move while paralyzed.

But that's just a suicidal act.

That was close.

No one's ever been able to move so much

after being hit with the Paralyze and Poison combo.

I'll just fully prepare myself to see it through to the end.

Calling for backup on standby somewhere else, huh.

Sir Touka.

I'll stay and see the Five Dragon Knights dead myself.

Feel free to run away.

I'll stay.

I'm your escort now, after all.

In exchange, I'll have your Blue Dragon Stone.

Yeah, got it.

Lord Schweiz!

Wh-What happened here?!

- Lord Civit?! - Aslan...

- Is he hurt?! - Kill them... from above!

Kill them from afar!

Don't carelessly approach them!

Kill them from a distance!

Kill them all... whatever it takes!

We're connected.

There are two problems with this ability.

What are you doing...

Hurry!

That it takes time to reach this state.

And that it eats up my MP at all times while it's activated.

In short, this newfound power obtained through the demon strengthening agent...

...is to be my very short finisher!

We're shooting them down, Piggymaru!

Let's settle this once and for all!

Assault Accel!

Paralyze!

When bound with me, I obtain Piggymaru's half as my own.

Hence, with him connected to me...

- Touka! - I can extend my range

- Sleep! - to the tip of his tentacles.

PARALYZE - POISON - SLEEP Your skill has leveled up.

FREEZE - DARK - BERSERK You have unlocked new skills.

Berserk.

My new Berserk skill seems to be able to instill violent impulses.

Combined with Paralyze, I can kill him faster.

Remove Paralyze and Sleep.

Dark.

M-My eyes...

I can't see!

So this skill shuts off their vision with darkness...

Oban tried to kill Seras for money.

Schweiz tried to use her to quench his men's lust.

It won't hurt my heart to use them as guinea pigs.

They're scumbags, just like me.

TOUKA MIMORI You have leveled up.

It's gotten quiet...

Paralyze.

Touka...

You're just in a different dimension, Civit Garland...

What are... you...

I'm not some noble hero trying to save the world.

I'm just an avenger now.

End of the line for Humanity's Strongest.

Now we can mask Seras Ashrain's whereabouts with this.

Thank you.

I should be thanking you instead.

I'm glad you decided to stay.

I can't afford to let you die.

If I let you die here,

I wouldn't be able to recover anymore.

You have that kind expression every now and then, I see.

Maybe it's because I'm thinking of someone kind.

Is it your aunt?

Hero Killer...

Also touted as someone who will surpass Humanity's Strongest one day.

He is belligerent with a penchant for blood.

What's wrong?

The dragons the five guys rode...

Are they different in size from the other black dragons?

Huh? Oh, yes.

Then, I guess... I've already dealt with him.

What?

That means you've defeated the Hero Killer so easily as well?

Seems like it.

I still haven't learned my unique skill...

Who's that?

NYANTAN KIKEEPAT - VICIOUS' APOSTLE

I came here on behalf of Goddess Vicious.

Henceforth, when the goddess is busy, I will be her proxy.

This little girl is supposed to be our mediator?

Are you even stronger than us?

So you are Mister Oyamada?

You certainly have a foul mouth that makes one frown.

Would you like to try me?

Dammit...

Unbelievable...

What's up with that speed?!

Was that enough to introduce myself?

We are heading back to the capital.

Seems like you people are about to enter the next phase.

I see.

It's not something I can brag to anyone, right?

However, obstacles to my vengeance will be laid waste at my discretion without mercy.

Nowadays, I myself don't feel comfortable with the goddess of Alion either.

So, please, use my power for your revenge.

I embark on this journey to indulge myself.

I don't think it's "correct" based on your beliefs or sense of righteousness.

After all, you risked your life only to save me, Sir Touka.

I want to repay you for that.

If it's right for you, I'm willing to be treated any way you want.

If you insist, then be my guest.

Thank you.

Can I rely on your power, Seras Ashrain?

I'll fulfill your expectations for sure.

Thanks, Seras.

Sir Touka?

I intend to repay you for the favor you have done me.

I'll pay it back.

For a favor...

Or even for a grudge.

Well done.

It was right to ask you to look after the heroes.

You are strong and intelligent.

Most of all, you are very loyal.

Are you, Nyantan?

Yes.

Oh, what happened?

Your mouth seems to have stopped.

Thank you for proving your continued loyalty.

The day the heroes and the Great Demon Emperor Army strike against each other...

...might actually be close by.
