I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Especially the prime minister, who was stared at by Nero, felt like he was being targeted by the whole world.

It made his face look slightly gloomy.

"Self-directed and self-acted? I'm sorry, I don't know what you just said..."

"Shut up."

The pressure on his shoulders increased again, and the prime minister was bent over by this pressure.

Nero looked at the prime minister with disdain, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

"There's no point in playing dumb about something that both Ru and Yu already know, right?"

"Ragglecliff, a spy sent to Elrod by the Demon King's army."

Nero's words were like a bomb dropped into everyone's heart, completely shattering their calmness and causing a thousand waves.

The prime minister, who had been calm and composed until now, finally wavered, clenched his teeth and opened his mouth.

"you……"

However, just as he uttered a word, the pressure around him intensified again.

When he looked up, he saw Nero standing in front of him.

The words that cannot be disobeyed and cannot be questioned are ringing in my ears.

"When the emperor speaks, all the people should bow their heads and listen."

Their words are the Dharma.

Its status is supreme and its weight is unmatched.

In an instant, the prime minister was deprived of the power to speak.

Panic piled up in my heart and fear overflowed on my face.

【king】.

The one with supreme power rules the world.

So clearly... it was presented before the prime minister.

Its majesty is so powerful that even tens of thousands of tigers and thousands of dragons cannot compare to it.

His status is so high that even the gods in heaven and the creatures outside the realm have to bow their heads in submission.

Faced with this majesty, even the soul would be crushed by the supreme majesty.

The prime minister could only shut his mouth and keep his head down in silence.

"With so many monsters, it's impossible for outsiders to bring them in quietly. Telling such a lie that will be easily exposed will only make you look stupid."

"You'll guide the prince of this country to establish friendly relations with the Demon King's army, preventing them from providing aid to Belzec. Then, after learning that we won a large sum of money gambling and defeated a dragon, you'll send monsters to attack us... Is this your plan?"

Nero's eyes slowly narrowed.

"I know you're still trying to struggle, and everyone else has their doubts, but I'm too lazy to waste time with you... I'll just show you the evidence."

Then Nero raised his hand.

The prime minister's pupils shrank when he witnessed Nero's actions, and he felt more and more that something was wrong.

But under the heavy pressure, he couldn't even move a finger.

"I just need to use magic to reveal your monster identity."

The pure white sacred light gathered in Nero's palm, and the sacred aura that was about to overflow seemed very dangerous to the prime minister!

"you you……!"

"Damn it——!"

The prime minister's eyes were bloodshot.

Then, the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a chimera with a lion's head, a goat's head, bear's claws, deer's hooves, and a snake's tail slowly emerged.

The Prime Minister was standing on the back of the Chimera.

Although he did not let the prime minister reveal his true identity, Nero no longer needed to prove it.

This chimera is the biggest evidence.

"how come……"

Levi was deeply shocked by the reality before him. The person he trusted most turned out to be a spy for the Demon King's army...

"Damn it... I, the captain of the Demon King's intelligence unit, have fallen here!"

Standing on the back of the Chimera, Prime Minister Ragcliff trembled slightly with unwillingness and anger, and raised his hands to cover his distorted face.

"It's really the Demon King's Army!"

"He admitted it himself!"

"Elrod's chancellor turned out to be a spy for the Demon King's army..."

"Hey! Were you the one who schemed to harm this goddess? Come down now! I promise I won't beat you to death!"

Ragcliff ignored what Kazuma and the others said, and he looked at Nero who was standing with a sword.

"How on earth did you know that?"

"Hmm... guess what."

You can't say... I read the plot beforehand, right?

Originally, because the memory was too old, I couldn't remember it for a while. Speaking of this, it was thanks to Aqua's reminder during the previous meeting.

"...no matter how you knew."

Ragcliffe scowled, and with a desperate look on his face, he declared, "Now that my identity has been revealed, I won't pretend anymore! That's right! I am the captain of the Demon King's intelligence unit—Ragcliffe!"

As he spoke, the color on Ragcliffe's body began to disappear and his shape began to change. Finally, he turned into a black figure in the shape of a human without any facial features.

"That is……!"

“It’s actually a shapeshifter!”

Megumin and Darkness exclaimed at the same time.

"Good on you, you demon! You're a shapeshifter! No wonder I always thought you were weird!"

Aqua even jumped up.

The Shapeshifter has the ability to change its appearance at will and is an extremely rare monster.

"You despicable demon! How dare you impersonate Prime Minister Elrod, attempting to control Elrod and block its economic support to our country!" Darkness drew his sword and roared, "Before the goddess Eris witnesses, I will slay you right here!"

However, Darkness's words completely infuriated Ragcliff.

"Impersonation... You actually said I was an impersonator?!"

Grievance, anger, and resentment almost overflowed from his voice.

Everyone present shuddered subconsciously... because they sensed from Ragcliffe a resentment similar to that of a 007 worker.

"More than thirty years... Do you know how I've been through these thirty years?!"

As if he were crying, Ragcliff roared, "After sneaking into the Kingdom of Elrod, I began to apply for the position of internal affairs officer of this country. Because I had no interest in gambling, I gained the trust of the royal family."

"But! It wasn't until I became the Interior Minister that I realized this country's internal affairs were a complete mess! Everyone was addicted to gambling and didn't care about anything else, just leaving the work to me!"

"I originally thought I'd finish the work I had and then go on to complete the mission the Demon King gave me, but the work kept piling up. I've been busy like this for over thirty years, climbing from the bottom to my current position as Prime Minister!"

"Then I suddenly realized... I don't seem to need to do this?"

"Thinking back on my mission, I feel like the time has finally come for me to serve the Demon King! With my current position, I can easily destroy this country! But..."

Could not bear.

The prosperity of this country today is all built by my own hard work.

Faced with this gambling giant that he had spent thirty years to build up, Ragcliffe simply couldn't bear to destroy it.

Therefore, he decided to use a different approach, encouraging Elrod to establish friendly relations with the Demon King's army, and use this method to protect Elrod.

Then, Ragcliff glared fiercely at Darkness, who didn't know what to say.

"I worked tirelessly to finally achieve my current position and status, and I have dedicated myself wholeheartedly to this country for so many years..."

His anger reached its peak and he shouted in a trembling voice.

"You actually said I was a fake?!"

"I just want to protect this country that has become prosperous because of my efforts! What have I done wrong—?!"

Chapter 348 Have I killed enough Chimeras?

Even Nero didn't know how to answer Ragcliff's question for a moment.

The tense atmosphere was completely destroyed by Ragcliff's crying. Kazuma and the others looked at each other, feeling that this man was a bit pitiful.

"Um... thank you for your hard work..."

"Isn't this...good? People who work hard are definitely better than those who don't work at all, right? My NEET is always saying he's a loser who stays at home and doesn't work."

"Right...right! How about I hire you to my house? The Dustinis family would definitely welcome someone like you who works hard with your own hands."

Alice, Megumin, and Darkness offered such kind words of advice one after another.

Even Levi started to hesitate.

"Um... so you're having such a hard time? I'll make sure those nobles reform themselves in the future, and I'll work hard too... So, I'm truly sorry, Ragcliff."

Everyone made moves to sympathize with Ragcliffe.

Only...

"Puff puff puff! Are you an idiot? You're definitely an idiot, right? How dumb can you be to be a member of the Demon King's army and work diligently in someone else's kingdom for over thirty years? I might as well just use your name as my nickname for "idiot" from now on. This is ridiculous, wahahahaha!"

Aqua was there to add insult to injury.

This is probably Aqua's way of revenge.

It was also because of Aqua's ridicule that Ragcliff completely lost his temper.

"Very good! Now that it has come to this, I don't care anymore! All of you humans who wantonly exploit the value of my labor, disappear!"

The monster army appeared again.

I didn’t expect that this guy still had stock?

The ground began to tremble violently, and eight of the giant earthworms that had eaten Aqua before appeared at once this time!

Standing on the Chimera's back, Ragcliffe opened his arms and declared loudly.

"Let this Elrod become the dust of history!"

Nero stood with his sword in hand and looked around.

Hmm... there are quite a lot of monsters.

If we cut them one by one, how long will it take?

But it’s not enough…

The monsters haven't all gathered yet. If Ragcliff is killed now, the monster army will go crazy due to the loss of their commander and will be difficult to deal with.

Therefore, the number of monsters must be reduced to a certain level first.

Thinking of this, Nero pulled the greatsword out of the ground, waved his hand, and a red wave of flames appeared, burning the attacking monsters into ashes.

Unable to use magic at will, Nero could only attach flames to his greatsword to increase the range of his attack.

At this moment, a scream filled with fear attracted Nero's attention.

With Yunyun and Alice around, Aqua and Megumin's safety was guaranteed to a certain extent. Kazuma's outstanding observation skills and luck also played a role, so Darkness didn't need to worry at all.

However, Prince Levi was different.

Without Ragcliff, there was no one around Levi.

Just then, a giant earthworm appeared beside him and was hit by the huge rock it brought out. The huge shadow covered a large area near Levi.
