Chapter 443 - Moko’s StoryChapter 443 – Moko’s Story
Timi seemed quite satisfied with Moko’s story and nodded,
「Yes, well, it seems we have an undead demon! Good! We have something worth defeating!」
「…Madam Timisoara. I understand that you have matchless power from that statement…」
「You do? I am happy that a great magical wolf would say so.」
「However, this demon is not defeatable. It was shut in here because of that fact.」
「Oh?」
「I won’t mince words. You should probably turn back from here.」
I didn’t sense that Moko was worried about us either.
If you could put it one way, I guess that he was more scared that the demon would be set free in case we couldn’t destroy it.
「Is the demon really that scary?」
「He is very strong. No human could match it.」
「What makes him so hard to defeat?」
Cruz asked.
Cruz was getting really excited by an enemy that strong.
It was a bad habit of hers.
「It’s not just the unbelievable magical and physical strength, but regeneration. And his battle experience is abnormally strong.」
「I see. The regeneration is annoying, but it’s not really different from anyone else we’ve fought.」

「Well, who do you think could beat it, Moko-chan?」
「…Moko-chan?」
Hearing himself called Moko-chan, Moko’s ears stood straight up.
Not out of anger, but more of a loss of what to say.
「Yes…the thing that could beat that demon…」
Moko said, thinking it over.
「Even if a Magic Lord and Hero combined strength, it might not be enough.」
「What about with a Dragon Lord, Destruction Lord, and Death Lord?」
「…that’s nonsense. A hypothetical like that? Well I guess they might…」
「Then we’re okay!」
「Cruz, what do you mean?」
「I’m the hero…and Alra here is a Magic Lord.」
And Cruz proceeded to name all the other lords present here as well.
「…I see. You really did well to come together.」
「And the oracle of the destruction god said that all of these people would be here together at the right time…maybe.」
Cruz said, with Shiggy saying, 「ryaaa」from my pouch.
「I see…the gods…well, I guess it might be time.」
It seemed that Moko said so with a far-away look.
I noticed that Moko looked quite different and asked,
「Moko, I have something…」
「What is it, Master of Femm?」
「You were forced by that zombie armor to live and attack whatever came in here, right?」
「Correct.」
「I was thinking that the dungeon maker was the one that forced you to be here, but…」
I said, while Moko wagged his tail softly.
「Master of Femm, you are correct. I myself wanted to be here.」
「What does that mean?」
「In order to understand, you must hear the story of that undead demon and my master. It is long, but…」
「I don’t mind. Please tell us.」
「I see. I was wondering, how much do you know about me?」
「Not much. I just know there was a wolf king 300 years ago near Mulg, who did what the hero back then asked him.」
After the hero defeated the Demon King 300 years ago, he was received coldly by other regions and so decided to create Mulg for him and other run-aways.
At that time, he took the nearby magical wolf pack under his wing.
「As you say.」
「And after the hero died, the wolf left Mulg, that’s all I know.」
A heavenly magical wolf was the highest position of the magical wolves.
After Cruz had touched Femm for a while, she had become a heavenly magical wolf.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMoko had probably become the same after being around the previous hero for so long.
「I see. Seems like the same thing happened today.」
「I think it’s different though?」
「Master of Femm. Have you seen the hero’s grave?」
「I guess I haven’t, now that you mention it.」
「Do you not think it is strange? He created that village after all. He should have been buried there.」
Moko said, and Yureena responded,
「You’re right…」
「I thought that he was just buried with the other villagers…」
Luka said, while Vi-Vi nodded in agreement.
I thought the same as Luka as well.
I guess after the fellow died he didn’t really want to stand out as special.
「He certainly was a humble man, but not, it’s not so…」
「Which means?」
「He didn’t die in Mulg. He left Mulg with me.」
「Did something bad happen to him at Mulg?」
「No. His life was quite relaxed at Mulg, but there was somewhere else that needed him.」
「And that place happened to be Elkay?」
「Yes. After he defeated the Demon Lord, the devils in the town were harassed mercilessly. He tried to do something about it.」
Seems that 300 years ago and today, history has repeated itself.
