Chapter 405 – After the Battle

Chel’s shimmering increased in brightness. I saw the head’s expression relax.

Even without touching them, Chel could send weaker undead straight to the heavens.

With stronger one, Chel would have to touch them directly.

After a bit, Chel’s shimmering weakened.

『Done.』

「Thanks, Chel.」

「PiggGi」

And then Chel jumped back on top of Femm again.

We saw the expression fade into a dead, blank look.

「What do we do now, Al?」

「Well…」

He was dead, so I guess we’d bury him.

Luckily the damage wasn’t so great due to Yureena’s abilities.

I don’t think anyone would complain if we gave him a proper burial.

「Maybe we should bury him next to the former Hero?」

「Yeah! I think that’s great.」

「Where is the former hero buried?」

「No idea. Maybe Luka knows.」

And saying that we left to see Luka and the others and clean up later.

Just then the barrier over Elkay disappeared.

「Ah, the barrier’s gone. It protected Elkay from the Lord of the Undead, right?」

「No. Maybe it protected the seal of the dungeon.」

「The deal of the Immortal Demon Lord?」

「Yeah.」

I noticed that Shiggy had been sleeping in my pocket.

Shiggy was a baby that slept nights. She was so cute when she slept.

While we were talking what had happened over, we met Luka. There were remains of stone statues everywhere.

Luka smiled when she saw us and Moofy happily ran up.

「Untouched? Well, Al…ra, I guess I didn’t need to worry.」「Moo moo」

「Yeah, pretty quickly taken care of. Were you okay?」

I petted Moofy and looked around. I didn’t see any injuries.

Of course, someone had to have been hurt in all this, but Yureena had already healed them.

「There were a lot of them but they were way weaker than the first one. No need for a hard fight.」

「Glad to hear.」

I told her about how the Lord of the Undead was the source and how we beat him.

Cruz and the other fighters all started looking for battle treasure.

Vi-Vi, Steff, the beasts, and I all helped Belda remove all the stones littered everywhere.

「This is hard labor. Not just flagstones and stone building pieces, but boulders as well.」

Belda had a lot of work ahead of her.

「Alra, what now?」

Vi-Vi was calling me Alra so Belda wouldn’t know who I was.

「I guess I should ignore the rest and lift the boulders with magic.」

「Are you okay, Alra? Didn’t you use too much magic?」

「Nah, I’m fine.」

Using the same method I blew away the stone statue with, I blew away the boulders one by one.

「I shot them all to one place outside town. Could use them later.」

「…wow.」

Belda was surprised, but then went back to giving orders.

With our help we cleared a lot of it away. I was glad the monsters attack an area with a lot of empty homes.

Night came and the clearing was pretty much done. I guess Elkay would get back to normal soon.

We had gotten rid of a demon and the Lord of the Undead. Nothing to threaten us again for a while.

And there was no need to go into the dungeon anytime soon, so we went to Tom’s for some rest.

「Belda, would you like an explanation of what happened later?」

「Yes. I guess there’s no danger anymore though.」

「For now.」

「Good.」

As we began to leave, Belda ran up to me and asked in a low voice,

「Uh, Alra…um…」

「What is it?」

「That gravity magic…it’s not normal magic. You’re no ordinary magician…are you…」

「No, that was just…right Cruz?」「Y…yeah! Nothing!」

Cruz and Vi-Vi responded nervously. They thought she’d find out I was Alfred.

It would be worse for her to find out Cruz’ identity than mine.

With that lion hat on she was hidden, but Vi-Vi had said Cruz’ name.

No, they probably called her name out quite a bit in battle.

Not just Vi-Vi, but everyone.

「Vi-Vi, what’s wrong with you! I told you her name was Claus!」

「Ah, Claus! Right!」

Yureena said quickly trying to cover for Cruz, but I think it’s too late.

「No, no need to hide, I know who you are Marquis…or Hero…」

「Ah, okay, yeah.」

Belda smiled at the clearly flummoxed Cruz.

「I know your situation, so don’t worry. But more than that.」

Belda now looked at me.

「Who is this wolf masked man, who I seem to remember during the dungeon collapse from a stone naga?」

「Ah!」「ryaa!」

Shiggy cried out. Maybe she woke up.

That reminded me of it…long time ago. Luka had introduced me as a follower of Cruz back then.

She watched my reaction and after checking, added,

「You were that person back then, right Mister Alra?」

For some reason she was calling me “Mister Alra”.

She bowed again to me…strange to see from a royal.

I looked around me to see if anyone had seen her bow…no one seemed to notice.

「I really, really thank you for that. I have no words enough to thank you.」

I had helped those new dragon knight recruits that were captured inside when the dungeon collapsed.

Now she was the vice head of the dragon knights. Must have been some of her soldiers.

「Don’t worry about it. It was Cruz’ request, you should thank her.」

「I was leading them and inside as well. I owe you my life.」

「It’s nothing.」

「It’s not nothing!」

She thanked me over and over and I went back to Tom’s.

They had come back to Elkay untouched, so I went to my room and slept.

If something happened, I could get up and take care of it. But nothing should happen for a while.

So Femm, Moofy, Chel, and Shiggy all surrounded me in sleep.
