I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"That's why I asked you to change into your everyday clothes. I want your protection to be carried out in secret. Later, I might not only patrol the Branch of Disaster, but also the surrounding towns. Being too conspicuous will ruin my plans."

This was of course a lie mixed with facts. Although it was possible that he had gone to other places in the Demon Clan, it was purely to see things he had never seen before. The so-called inspection was just to make Linglan understand better.

Linglan's purple eyes widened in an instant.

"I-I see. The Demon King wants to secretly observe the people's sentiments. I see. In that case, should the sword be replaced with a more concealable weapon?"

"No, just use the weapons you're good at. Also, unless you're in a particularly dangerous place, I hope you can do your own things and not focus on me all the time."

"but……"

Linglan obviously wanted to say something, but Grace interrupted the conversation at this time, with a surprised expression on his handsome face.

"Indeed, guards cannot disturb the normal lives of those they protect. The previous head of the family also told me this."

"Yeah, that's about it."

As expected of someone who had worked as a bodyguard, she quickly understood what she wanted to express. Ella applauded Grace's assistance in her heart.

"I'm going to the labyrinth next—I'm going there to level up, so I don't need you to fight for me."

"Leveling up?... The Demon King is already at the heroic level, yet he's still working hard. Compared to him, I'm really..."

"Eh? Heroes' territory? Me?"

He completely couldn't understand why Lingran had such a misunderstanding. Although he had a conversation with Lingran in the audience hall of the Western Demon Lord before, he had never mentioned anything related to strength at that time.

Seeing the puzzled look on Ella's face, Linglan immediately made a "Oh no" expression, as if she had let something slip, and immediately changed her words.

"I-I'm sorry, Demon Lord, I misremembered."

“Is that so…”

Although I think Linglan's personality would not make mistakes in remembering things about the Demon King, since she said she made a mistake, I don't want to ask her any further.

It didn't take long for Ella and her group to arrive at the maze. Their hunting ground was in a corner of the 21st floor of the maze. Although they encountered many monster attacks along the way, they were all eliminated by Linglan and Grace. Even an outsider like Ella could see that the two had extremely superb swordsmanship. Linglan was the type who used gorgeous swordsmanship to eliminate enemies, while Grace focused on practicality. They each had their own characteristics.

When they reached a three-meter-high cave, Ella, who was in charge of showing the way, stopped.

"Wait for me here. The hunting ground is inside—well, no, if you want to level up as well, you can go in together."

"We wouldn't dare, Demon Lord. Our mission is to protect your safety."

"Is that so? I think it's okay if you don't worry so much about your status."

However, it was too difficult to get the other party to put down their status at the beginning, so Ella had to give up persuading Linglan.

"Demon Lord, won't you change into armor? The monsters in the labyrinth are very dangerous. With your current equipment, I'm afraid—"

Grace's advice came from the side.

"Armor? No... I have other ways to deal with it. Besides, I'm just the healer. The rest of the team is responsible for the attack."

[I'm unexpectedly concerned about the person I'm protecting. I thought he'd be the type who hates me.]

"Well, anyway, there's no danger, don't worry."

After explaining the precautions to Grace and Linglan, Ella walked into the cave. Since the monsters nearby had been eliminated by Mao, there was no need to worry about them being attacked by monsters even if they were left here.

"Come to think of it, the coronation ceremony is less than a week away... It just doesn't feel real enough."

Knocking her head in distress, Ella began to frown at the declaration at the coronation ceremony. According to Camisia, the declaration at the coronation ceremony only needed to state her true thoughts on the future of the demon race, but that was precisely why it was tricky. If she was asked to express her true thoughts, of course she would keep it as it is now, and let Camisia and Dean, who had the ability, take charge of everything. But that would inevitably make her look very incompetent - even though she didn't do anything, it was really shameless to read it out in front of so many demons.

So Ella could only refer to the speeches of the big figures in the previous world when they took office as president. However, because she had not paid special attention to these, her memory was a little vague, and she felt like she had forgotten something particularly important.

"Anyway, just say some meaningless, polite talk... Just don't go too far."

"Don't let it burrow into the ground!"

Mitis's somewhat anxious shout came from the front.

"Hmm...are you in trouble?"

On the "Terrain Search", everyone seemed to be working together to defeat a big guy.

Chapter 32 Needle-stabbed Demonic Pig

"--"hardening"."

“Roar!”

Due to the hardening magic used by Eve, the monster called the Needle Pig just crashed into the rocky ground and failed to burrow into the ground.

"Don't even think about escaping! Slash!"

Mitis swooped down from the sky using vampire wings and swung the umbrella blade at the needle-piercing demon pig, but before the umbrella blade hit it, the fallen needle-piercing demon pig stood up its black and gray hair that was like steel needles all over its body.

"Tsk, you're doing this again?"

With a quick flap of her wings, Mitis retreated, opening her parasol to shield herself.

Immediately afterwards, the hair originally growing on the Thorny Pig flew towards Mitis - the hair on the Thorny Pig was not only a weapon of self-defense, but also a means of attacking the enemy.

Clang clang clang.

Powerful metal collision sounds rang out one after another. Judging from the scattered sparks, that level of attack was probably comparable to a full-strength blow from a fully drawn bow.

"[Power Up]."

After quickly casting a magic to increase Mitis's strength, Ella, who had just arrived at the cave, stood back in her position - in the back row like Eve.

Although it was only a temporary arrangement, the team's composition was roughly as follows: Ella, Eve, and Iris in the back row, who were mainly responsible for support and main attack, while Angelica, Tifarian, and Mitis were the main three in the front row, responsible for distracting the enemy's attention and weakening their physical strength. The remaining Lotte and Fukagan were on standby, with the task of delivering a fatal blow at the critical moment. Because the weapons used by the two were very different, if a detailed classification was to be made, the two should also be classified in different categories.

Seeing Ella coming, Angeline, who was resting in the back, stood up with a trace of blood on her shoulder and waved to Ella. From her painful expression, it can be seen that she was reluctant to use the recovery medicine given by Ella.

"Little Ella, you're finally here! Hurry up, use some healing magic! I can't wait to teach that guy a lesson."

As she spoke, Angeline lowered one of the straps of her dress, revealing the shallow wound underneath - it felt like being scratched by a sharp object. Although it was not very deep, the pain it caused was enough to affect her combat ability.

Although she felt that Angeline was very attractive when she let down the straps of her dress, she certainly would not say anything inappropriate at such a moment. After Angeline wiped off the blood, Ella softly recited the spell.

"'Basic Healing Technique'."

The shallow wounds that were visible to the naked eye healed in an instant.

After a long sigh of relief, Ella looked at Angeline who kept twisting her shoulders with a blaming look.

Since the space inside the cave is extremely large - approximately nearly a thousand square meters, and the ceiling is at least fifty or sixty meters high, the battle on Mitis's side will not affect here. In addition, because there are plants growing on the khaki walls here that can serve as light sources, the brightness is close to that of the sunset sun, so there is no need to worry about lighting problems.

"Don't we have a magic potion? Why doesn't it work for Angelina?"

"It's such a waste to use magic potion for such a minor injury. We'll be fine once Ella comes back or when Eve is free."

"No need to save money at a time like this."

"I'm used to it, ahaha."

Angeline scratched her brown ponytails and gave a perfunctory smile. Injuries like the one just now were common during adventures, and usually they would be fine after a few days of rest, so Angeline didn't take it to heart at all.

"Is this the monster that caused the wound?"

Ella looked at the Thorn Boar being attacked by a crowd in the distance. Its black and gray hair covered its huge body, which was as big as a medium-sized truck. Its ominous red eyes and the vicious aura it constantly exuded made people subconsciously want to stay away from it. Under the influence of its huge power, every movement would cause the soil on the ground to fly up. Coupled with its level of nearly 40, it would definitely be a monster that could cause disaster in the outside world.

"Hmm, I didn't expect its hair to be able to penetrate the protective gear made by Ella-chan. Luckily, Mittis blocked it in time with her umbrella."

Angelica said with lingering fear that if Mitis had not pushed Angelica away in time and opened her umbrella to block her, she would have become a hedgehog now.

"It can penetrate the third-tier magic 'Shield of Magic'. The attack of the projectile needles is close to fourth-tier magic, right? My rapier is completely useless at this time."

Tifarian, with her long pink hair tied into a single ponytail, came to Angelini's side. She was using a rapier and her compatibility with the Needle Boar was too bad, so she had no ability to fight at all.

"Fourth-tier magic?... Um, actually, that needle piercing isn't fourth-tier magic, you know? It just has the added effect of breaking magic, so it's fine if you defend yourself with physical means."

"You mean using a shield?"

"Yes, but with Lotte here, it's okay if we don't worry about it. Just hit the soft spots on the Stinging Pig's body when its hair stands up—like its eyes and abdomen—and the bouncing needles will stop."

Because Lotte was lying in ambush not far away, she would be able to hear him even if he said it here. As for why he knew the weakness of the Needle-Piercing Demon Pig, it was entirely because of the knowledge of "F.Wing". Although the Needle-Piercing Demon Pig in "F.Wing" was more troublesome than the Needle-Piercing Demon Pig in front of him, there was no difference in their characteristics. Of course, this was the conclusion he came to after confirming the Needle-Piercing Demon Pig's skills through "low-level identification".

"Well, as long as we don't have that needle attack, everything can be solved. Ella, use the strengthening magic quickly."

"Hmm, 'Power Up', 'Speed ​​Up', and 'Heavy Attack'."

"Thank you."

After saying this, Angelini jumped towards the needle-like demon pig that was being driven away by Mitis.

Looking at Angelique's receding figure, Tifarian looked a little lonely, probably worried about her own lack of strength. Ella felt that she had to go up and talk to her.

"Isn't Tifarian coming?"

"No, I only caused trouble for Mitis and Angeline in the past. Although I am only three levels lower than Angeline, the difference in talent is impossible to make up."

“Hmm… in that case…”

Seeing the helplessness in Tifarian's eyes, Ella put the Pestle of Heaven's Punishment into storage and replaced it with the Arrow of Fire that could increase the power of magic.

"[Attribute Enhancement], [Perception Enhancement], [Strength Enhancement], [Iron Wall Strengthening], [Speed ​​Up], [Mental Concentration]."

Blue, gold, gray, cyan and nearly transparent white, a total of several kinds of light covered Tifarian at the same time, and then slowly sank into Tifarian's body. In just a moment, Tifarian's aura changed.

Feeling the changes in her body, Tifarian raised an eyebrow.

"Does this mean... you can use this level of enhanced magic at will?"

"Eh? You can use it casually?"

Not understanding what Tifarian meant for a moment, Ella blinked in confusion.

"...When we faced that skeleton together earlier, didn't you, Elelaya, use this strengthening magic? Back then, I thought this kind of strengthening magic would come at a great cost, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to use... Elelaya, you're amazing."

For some reason, the complex expression on Tifarian's face gradually became clear, and she patted Ella's back hard.

"Lotte really has good taste. Well, I'll go first."

“Ah, ah…?”

By the time Ella reacted, Tifarian and Angeline had already started shaving the hair of the needle-pierced demon pig.

Chapter 33: The Rewards After the Crusade and the Ensuing Turmoil

"I didn't expect it to be this difficult. Among the Crimson Gold-level monsters, this must be the most difficult to defeat."

After drinking the magic potion, Ella focused her attention on the status bar of the Needle Demon Pig. Although its stamina was almost at the bottom, its HP still remained at 30%. Judging from the current speed of the attack, it would take at least another round of attacks to bring it down.

"But even so, all I can do is strengthen magic. The ability of hair to break defensive magic is simply too much."

Ella couldn't help but sigh. Although she could use the Fire Arrow to cast ice balls to restrict the movements of the Needle Demon Pig, doing so would defeat the purpose of the battle - just focusing on the level would not lead to much improvement, and combat skills are also part of strength, so now she has completely become a bystander.

"Leave it to me."

Someone patted her shoulder, and Ella sighed again without turning around.

"Even if Eve said so, I won't feel any better."

It’s better to say that the psychological burden is even heavier.

Ella's words made Eve, who was wearing the red and white priest's attire, pout.

"I, attack magic."

As Eve said this, she used a "light arrow" on the needle-piercing demon pig that was trapped in a corner not far away. The latter now looked quite miserable, with its hard hair shaved off and its body covered with scars left by weapons. Even so, it was still waiting for an opportunity to attack the vanguard, Mitis, Angelini and the other two.

After confirming that the Needle Demon Pig roared because of her attack, Eve nodded to Ella with satisfaction.

"Just like this."

“No… It’s because I leave everything to Eve that I feel useless…”

Although it looked leisurely, in reality only the defenders could chat like this, and the three forwards were on edge.

"Gungnir."

Mitis condensed the blood into a three-meter-long spear and threw it with all her might while flying in the air. Since Mitis with the ability to fly was the biggest threat, she also attracted most of the attention of the Needle Demon Pig. As a result, there were several scratches on Mitis's clothes, and her breath was disordered due to the long battle.
