I have a hero simulator

"What do you want a dungeon for?"

Noticing that Vanir was different from other demons, Darkness asked curiously.

"When the adventurers finally reached the final stage and reached the boss's room, they found the treasure chest empty, save for a note taunting them. Isn't that feeling of despair truly wonderful? As a demon, I feed on these human emotions, so I won't kill them, I'll only toy with them."

“So cruel!!”

Vanir's answer made Huihui and the others shudder. This was even more terrifying than encountering any danger.

Just thinking about it makes me feel despair.

"As expected, you have to..."

Just as Darkness and the others were preparing to fight.

Suddenly, a sound came from outside the lich's room.

"Hurry up, Aqua, it looks like someone has been here!"

Then the door opened, and a beautiful girl who looked about sixteen years old and full of wisdom and a boy named Sato Kazuma who looked stunned looked at them with wide eyes.

"what?"

"It's you!"

Sato Kazuma recognized Shen Yuan and his group at a glance, but before he could speak, Aqua recognized Vanir's identity as a demon.

"Holy Purification!!"

Aqua raised her hand, and a white flame filled with sacred aura fell on Vanir.

"You have no moral principles, you actually launched a sneak attack!"

Vanir said this, threw his mask aside, and then his body turned into mud and fell to the ground.

Yes.

His true form is the mask, and his body is made of magic and clay like a doll.

"I haven't even finished what I was saying! You new guy, can't you read the atmosphere? Do you know the first-come, first-served queue?! And you, aren't you worried about the boss being snatched away? Don't you want the rewards for clearing the level?"

"Clearance reward? Tsk..."

Huihui curled her lips, revealing a look of disgust.

"Tsk, there's nothing to say to a guy like you. Let's go."

After learning that Vanir is a demon that feeds on human emotions, Darkness has no intention of fighting him.

Chapter 72: The evil deeds of the Duke of Hell, Barnil!

"Wait a minute, my supernatural power hasn't been added yet... At least I can just attack a few times!"

Shen Yuan looked at the team members who had lost their fighting spirit due to the lack of rewards, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"That's right! Demons should be killed!"

Chris nodded vigorously, indicating that Shen Yuan was right.

"But, there are other adventurers here, won't it be dangerous?"

Darkness asked, feeling that fighting would affect innocent people.

"It should be fine. The girl with aqua blue hair seems to be a high priestess who can perform healing magic."

Huihui held her staff, ready to cast explosion magic.

"Let me do it!"

Youyou volunteered to stand in front: "Advanced magic - Sword of Light!"

"It seems like I can't communicate with you guys anymore."

At this moment, Vanir's mask suddenly flashed in front of Sato Kazuma, and stuck to his face as if possessed.

"Wait, it seems he's possessed someone else!"

As the astonished gazes of several people, the broken white mask appeared on Sato Kazuma's face as he stood up from the ground.

"Eh!!"

After seeing Satou Kazuma possessed by the mask, Aqua's face showed shock.

"Give him a knife!"

Darkness shouted and rushed forward.

"Wait, someone might die!"

"Then let's use Shield Bash!"

Darkness raised her one-handed holy shield and smashed it towards Sato Kazuma's face.

"boom!"

　"830" It sounded like bones breaking, or like a mask breaking.

Sato Kazuma, who was hit in the face by the shield, screamed in pain and rolled on the ground, twisting his body. Aqua also hurriedly cast a healing magic.

"Aqua, why are you two here?"

Hearing someone calling her, Aqua turned around. Although this was not the first time she saw Shen Yuan, it was the first time that he looked her in the eye.

“I discovered this place when I was adventuring with Kazuma and the Kingdom Prosecutor…”

After seeing Shen Yuan, an excited expression appeared on Aqua's face.

She stole a glance at Chris, then tried her best to act like a goddess, saying in a cold voice, "Did you guys take care of Beldia? Well done, you're worthy of being the chosen hero!"

The words are not finished yet.

A hand grabbed Aqua's ankle. Sato Kazuma looked at her with a hideous face and blood all over his face. He screamed, "If you don't treat me, I'm going to die!!"

"It's okay. I can revive him even if he dies. By the way, Mr. Brave, what do you think of me as the high priest?"

Aqua turned a blind eye, as if waiting for the other party to invite her to join the team.

He politely declined, saying that he would only agree to the membership of the Akusis Cult, tricking them into believing in the Water Goddess, and then having them 'reluctantly' join the team.

"Sorry, the team is full!"

Completely ignoring Aqua's thoughts, Shen Yuan looked at the shattered mask in front of Sato Kazuma, raised his hand and fired a ball of dark energy.

"Dark Sacrifice!"

A pitch-black energy ball the size of a head pierced through the ground, shattering the white mask along with it. It was unknown whether Vanir was destroyed or not, because the number of layers of extraordinary evil power only increased by 25, but Vanir's breath disappeared, as if he had slipped away.

Suddenly.

After sensing he was saved, Satou Kazuma changed from his prone position to a prostrate position and shouted:

"Thank you for not killing me!!!"

"Why do you want to thank me?"

Shen Yuan asked.

"Uh......"

Sato Kazuma originally wanted to say that he accidentally walked in front of a team that was defeating a BOSS, and caused them to fail in completing the defeat mission. In the end, he was possessed and almost killed.

If it were a group of bad-tempered and vicious adventurers, they would have slaughtered him several times over.

It’s also thanks to the other party’s good temper.

Of course, Sato Kazuma didn't know Vanir's identity, nor did he know that there were no rewards in this kind of dungeon, so his arrival did not affect any interests at all.

Is this the broad mind of a brave man?

It turns out that I am still far from it.

"Eh?!"

Aqua was shocked by Sato Kazuma's actions.

"Aqua, why don't you beg for mercy? You stole someone else's boss and let it escape... You must die to atone for your sin!"

Sato Kazuma whispered to Aqua beside him.

If he offended the strongest adventurer team in the town who could easily crush him, he would probably kill someone in the wild without anyone noticing.

"No, no, no, hurry up and get up!"

Hearing that Aqua had to kneel down and apologize, Chris panicked in shock.

If the senior knew that he watched her kneeling down to him, he would probably have a hard time in heaven.

"That's not necessary," Shen Yuan said, looking in the direction where Vanir had fled. "That guy is just a demon from hell who feeds on negative emotions and enjoys toying with the human mind. He won't kill easily. He's a great demon fighting with the gods for the future of the world. Rather than killing him, it's better to say that even if we blow the dungeon to pieces, he still won't die."

Drive the enemy away without fighting.

It's a good thing.

As for how strong Vanir really is, perhaps we can only find out when we meet next time.

"So strong... But if that's the case, why didn't he resist?"

Sato Kazuma asked seriously.

"There's no need to resist. Facing two women... facing so many of us, Vanir can just pretend to be killed by us. That way, he'll be able to escape from the Demon King's army. Then, he'll be resurrected and reappear in this world with a new identity. Maybe the next time we see him, he'll be the owner of a toy store or something. For him, every move in this other world is just a way to experience life."

"What a wicked demon!"

"But the title Duke of Hell is kind of cool!"

This time, not only Aqua and Sato Kazuma, but even Huihui and others were surprised that Shen Yuan could analyze so much about Vanir's psychology.

"Doesn't that mean Vanir is going to be cleared? He's clearly a demon, yet he actually betrayed the Demon King!"

"No, no, no, it's not betrayal. It's more like the Demon King isn't qualified to command the Duke of Hell. But this is also good news. Vanir will most likely show up at Wiz's magic item shop next time. Next time you run into him, just pretend you don't know him to avoid embarrassment."

"Of the eight Demon King Army leaders, excluding Beldia, Wiz, and Vanir, there are five left... and then there's the Demon King himself."

Shen Yuan said this, then reminded Chris to write it down in his notes: "Anyway, just announce to the public that the Demon King's Army General Vanir has been eliminated, and then go to the Adventurer's Guild to collect the money. If Vanir dares to appear as a Demon King's Army General again, we will go and kill him directly."

"What a domineering hero!"

"But what can I say? He's truly a demon, acting so recklessly!"

"How dare you say that about others?" Sato Kazuma glanced at Aqua with disdain, but then he came to his senses and looked at Shen Yuan and the others: "Well, no matter what, this time it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, if we had met Vanir, we would have been killed!"

"Who knows? But since you're here, I'll give you a share. As long as you don't reveal what's going on here, you can also receive a reward for helping to defeat the Demon King's army leaders."

"real or fake!"

Sato Kazuma's eyes widened, and Aqua's eyes also turned into the shape of money.

"I understand! Hush money, right? I understand! I understand!"

It seems that his desire to survive is still very strong.

"It seems that demons aren't all bad."

Yunyun muttered, putting away her wand and smiling softly.

"No, I think all demons must die!"

Darkness shook her head and said, as a member of the Eris Cult, we must destroy all demons.

"That's right!"

Chris, as the incarnation of the goddess, also thought so.

Heaven and hell are irreconcilable.

Regardless of their stance, they are all enemies.

"So, goodbye."

With that, Shen Yuan and his group began to pack up and go back home. On the way back, they did not forget to ask Huihui to use the explosion magic that she could use once a day to blow up the dungeon.

This also puts an end to this "crusade".

It's not so much a crusade.

It's more like an invitation from the Duke of Hell, Barnil, who wanted to meet this legendary adventurer team, but the method seemed a little unique.
