Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 036 The Devil Duke
When Prosecutor Sena saw that Emiya was unmoved by her pressure, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Could it be that what the other party said was true?
She had some doubts, but wasn't sure.
"Do you have any evidence to prove that the lord is colluding with the devil?" asked prosecutor Sena. She needed evidence.
"We have evidence!" Emiya dragged Darkness over and placed her in front of Prosecutor Sena. "She is the evidence. A living proof?"
“Hey, hey?!!!” Darkness was confused. When did she become evidence? She had no idea that the lord was colluding with the devil. So, did the lord really collude with the devil?
Could it be that Emiya made it up in order to save Satou Kazuma?
Prosecutor Sena's face turned red with anger, "What kind of evidence is this woman? Don't think I don't know that she and Sato Kazuma are in the same team."
Emiya nodded, "She is indeed in the same team as us, but this is just a superficial phenomenon."
Prosecutor Sena was stunned.
Darkness was confused.
Emiya raised his chin and said, "Now it's time to reveal your true identity, Darkness."
"Real identity?" Prosecutor Sena couldn't help but be surprised and looked Darkness up and down. Could it be that this useless female knight had some amazing identity?
Darkness said guiltily: "I am just a Crusader."
Emiya patted her shoulder, "For Satou's sake, now is not the time to hide your identity, Lalatina."
“Wait, wait!” Darkness panicked and waved her hands around frantically. Finally, she covered her face and cried out, “Why do you know this name, Emiya?”
Prosecutor Seona said, "So Darkness isn't her real name?"
Emiya nodded, "Yes, Darkness's real name is Dustinis Ford Lalatina!"
Prosecutor Sena's expression suddenly changed, and her voice rose several decibels, "Dustinis? Are you talking about that Dustinis?!!!"
“Yes, Darkness is actually the daughter of the noble family Dustiness, known as the Kingdom’s Sword.”
"How is this possible?"
As far as she knew, Darkness was just a good-looking but useless female knight. How come she had now transformed into the daughter of a noble family?
"Nothing is impossible." Emiya waved his hand and said calmly: "What you know is just Darkness's disguise."
"Is that so?" Prosecutor Sena was skeptical.
Emiya said firmly, "Believe me, Darkness actually came here just to investigate this lord. He colluded with the devil and used the devil's power to gain his current position. He has already attracted the attention of the Dustinis family."
"That's why Darkness showed up here, disguising herself as an adventurer, but secretly investigating this guy's every move. Finally, she found out the true identity of the demon this guy summoned not long ago."
"However, if people knew that this lord's current status was entirely due to the devil's contribution, it would easily lead to some lawless elements following suit."
“So Darkness plans to get rid of this guy secretly.”
Prosecutor Sena seemed to have thought of something, "Sato Kazuma."
Seeing that the other party was almost fooled by him, Emiya nodded seriously, "Yes, it is Sato Kazuma. If we use the power of the Corona Ore to send this lord directly into the sky, it will not arouse anyone's suspicion."
“But you failed.”
Emiya said, "Man proposes, God disposes. As a result, this guy escaped and bit us back. So now we can only rely on your power to secretly deal with this guy."
Although Prosecutor Sena felt that what Emiya said made sense, she was still a little skeptical. "After all, this is just your own words. I don't even know if this person... this person is real or fake."
Emiya turned to Darkness and said, "Show me something that proves your identity."
Darkness couldn't help but ask, "Is this really necessary?"
"Don't you want to save Sato?"
Darkness had no choice but to take out a badge and hand it to Prosecutor Sena.
Prosecutor Sena's face changed, and she immediately believed what Emiya said, because what Darkness took out was the emblem of the Dustinis family.
Outsiders cannot get this kind of badge.
"Excuse me." She checked it once, confirmed it was correct, and respectfully returned the badge to Darkness. Then she asked, "What should we do now?"
Now that Darkness's identity has been verified, what Emiya said is true. She certainly knows who to help, and it's better than the Dustinis family.
The Lord of Axel was just a country lord.
Emiya snapped his fingers, "Easy, take a team of knights and go find this lord."
Prosecutor Sena nodded, and immediately returned to the police station with a team of knights, heading straight for Axel's hotel. Since the mansion was bombed, the lord has been living in Axel's hotel.
On the way, Darkness said cautiously: "Is it true that the lord is colluding with the devil?"
If not, Emiya is completely slandering the nobles, and even she won't be able to save Emiya then.
"Leave it to me." Emiya said confidently.
Soon, everyone arrived at the hotel. Emiya asked Sena to give the order to seal off the hotel. Sena gave the order without hesitation.
Fortunately, since the lord checked into the inn, he drove away the other guests, and now only he and his servants live in the inn.
When the knights surrounded the inn, Emiya ordered the group not to act rashly and to wait for him to return.
After all, the person they are dealing with is a Duke of Hell.
So Emiya needs an insurance.
He opened a door, returned to the villa, found Aqua who was still like a salted fish, grabbed Aqua, and dragged her to the hotel.
"What are you doing?" Aqua struggled hard, but was still dragged over by Emiya.
Emiya pointed at the inn in front of him and said, "Perform a holy exorcism, and I'll give you a batch of super premium sparkling wine to make up for your loss."
Aqua, who was originally a little indifferent, brightened up her eyes when she heard this, as if she had been revived.
"Are you serious?" she said excitedly.
"Of course it's true."
“It’s just holy exorcism, hold on to me.” Aqua raised her hands and pointed them at the hotel. Layers of magic circles unfolded in an instant, surrounding the hotel.
"Sacred Exorcism"
The next second, accompanied by Aqua’s loud shout, a beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped the entire hotel.
As the goddess of water, Aqua's holy exorcism is absolutely of the highest level. Even a demon at the Duke of Hell level cannot survive Aqua's attack intact.
Ahhhhhh…
Sure enough, when the sacred light bombarded the hotel, a shrill wailing sounded from inside the hotel.
Seeing that the opportunity was not to be missed, Emiya immediately rushed into the hotel with a group of people.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw a tall, hairless, greasy-looking middle-aged man with a strong build and a lot of body hair, who looked at a loss.
This man is the Lord of Axel.
Next to him, there was a man rolling on the ground, smoking all over.
To be precise, it's a demon.
Emiya remembered that this guy seemed to be called Maxwell, one of the Dukes of Hell who led the demons, a great demon who could distort the truth of the world, and fed on despair and pain.
However, although this guy possesses great power, his intelligence is like that of a newborn baby, and he can't remember anything at all.
Ever since Axel's lord summoned him, he has been helping the other party, but since he has no memory of whether he has received any reward, he has been working for nothing.
Aqua rushed in and saw the demon rolling on the ground. She was immediately furious. “Well, you’re just a demon, but you dare to appear in front of me and choose me, goddess Aqua? I think you are just courting death. Go to hell, demon.”
"Sacred Exorcism!"
The holy light descended again and bombarded the Demon Duke's body. The Demon Duke Maxwell, who had not yet recovered from his breath, was once again severely shocked.
"Sacred Exorcism"
"Sacred Exorcism"
"Sacred Exorcism"
Aqua was completely unyielding this time, and her Holy Exorcism magic was unleashed as if it had no magic power at all, bombarding the Demon Duke Maxwell again and again.
When Emiya saw this, he glanced at the anxious lord and said loudly, "Just surrender. Your collusion with the devil has been exposed. If you surrender now, I can still spare your life."
Although the lord of Axel did not know Emiya, he knew Prosecutor Sena. When he saw her rushing in with a group of knights, he immediately killed the demon he had summoned.
After hearing what Emiya said, he actually thought he had been exposed for a moment and was terrified.
"Get up, you good-for-nothing." He yelled at Maxwell, "Get me out of here ."
Prosecutor Sena heard the lord's words with her own ears and realized that Emiya was not lying. "Alderp, colluding with the devil is a serious crime. I am arresting you as a prosecutor now."
However, the lord was in a panic and shouted, "Fight back quickly! If you don't fight back, we will be doomed."
Emiya sneered and would never give the demon duke a chance to fight back. He stretched out his hand and released the Greedy Dragon.
Amid the horrified or incredulous gazes of the crowd, the Greedy Dragon rushed forward, bit the Demon Duke who could not resist, and swallowed him into his stomach.
But Emiya did not feel relieved, instead he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Because this person is the Duke of Hell.
