A Wild Last Boss Appeared! (野生のラスボスが現れた!)

My name is Minamijuuji Sei.

I was your typical, average high school boy about to turn seventeen.

Save us.

Huh?

- Please save us. - A voice?

If you can hear me, then please answer!

- What's going on? - If you can hear me, then please answer!

Where are you?

I'll do anything I can to help!

I'll call an ambulance if you need one!

Oh!

Did we...?

W-We did it!

We did it, Your Majesty!

The Hero Summoning Ritual!

It succeeded this time!

Where...

am I?

...So there you have it.

Uh...

So this world is called Mizgarz,

and you want me to defeat the devilfolk

led by the Devil King as well as the conqueror, Lufas?

Yes.

You're the only one we can turn to now! Please!

Please!

Please!

Father!

When I grow up,

I'm going to be a police officer like you!

Hey, what do I have to do to become a police officer?

Well...

You should become the kind of person

who always extends a helping hand when people are in trouble.

Honestly,

I don't think I can handle the idea of killing others.

However,

I doubt I can achieve the future I long for if I abandon people seeking my aid.

Besides, I doubt my father

would abandon these people from another world!

I'll...

do it!

Thank you, Hero.

- Now our nation is secure! - Thank you so much!

- We'll be counting on your aid! - Thank you so much!

Right!

SEVERAL WEEKS LATER— - I hyped myself up in that moment, but...

my actual ability

isn't measuring up at all!

I yield, Mr. Friedrich.

This is Mr. Friedrich,

a master of the sword who is known as the Sword Saint.

I'm sorry.

I lost so quickly.

I don't have any complaints with the special treatment of getting to train

under the world's most powerful swordsman.

Except for one thing.

He won't speak the human language.

I've been told that beastfolk are capable of speaking our language, though.

Mr. Friedrich, umm...

About the way I'm handling this sword...

It's a little hard for me to use.

Is there some technique?

Thank you very much!

I still haven't ever heard Mr. Friedrich speak.

The captain is angry with you for getting distracted during your sparring match.

Vice Captain!

The Vice Captain has been translating Mr. Friedrich's words for me.

He's basically just a giant cat at this point.

I don't get it.

Sir Sei!

What's the matter, Mr. Kross?

We've finally gathered together the party for your journey!

Minamijuuji Sei.

- It's time for your journey to begin. - Yes, sir!

Equipment, talented men...

We've prepared the best in everything we can offer.

Now, allow me to introduce your team.

The first is the pride of our nation, the Sword Saint Friedrich.

THE SWORD SAINT FRIEDRICH

You'll also have the Vice Captain to assist Friedrich.

VICE CAPTAIN - Understood!

Then there's the master of the divine arts,

Kross the Acolyte.

THE KING'S ADVISOR / KROSS NOZAN - I vow to aid you, even if it costs me my life.

Next is the rising star who graduated top of her class from Svel's Magic Academy:

Alfie.

It's an honor to have been chosen for this, Your Majesty.

I've heard she's been taught swordsmanship by her father, the mercenary Gantz.

I'm sure she'll prove quite useful.

We've also received steel golems from Svel's Wise King Megrez.

Plus, you'll constantly...

...have a covert squad of ten Rangers to support your journey from the shadows.

When did they get there?

Amazing.

So these people are going to be my party.

Now, Hero,

the time to set out has come!

Oh, so I'm already heading out.

Go forth and strike down the evil Devil King and the revived conqueror

to bring light to these dark times!

Yay!

This is the beginning...

of my adventure to save the world.

Frankly, I don't think I'm the best pick for this,

and I think there's someone more suitable,

but even so, right now...

I'm the Hero!

Okay, so to keep everyone from worrying,

I'll take the lead!

No way!

Is that?!

Impossible!

That... That can't be...

Everyone?

THE CONQUEROR, LUFAS MAPHAAHL

THE DEVIL KING, ORM

W-W-Why are the Devil King and Lufas Maphaahl here?!

A WILD LUFAS MAPHAAHL

AND A WILD DEVIL KING

HAVE APPEARED AT THE SAME TIME!!!

EPISODE 11 / A WILD LUFAS MAPHAAHL AND A WILD DEVIL KING HAVE APPEARED AT THE SAME TIME!!!

SOMETIME EARLIER...

Laevateinn succeeded in summoning the Hero.

Apparently, they did summon a proper Hero.

In the game, no one knew about that until Alioth discovered it.

And as far as I knew, there were no other players aside from Alioth

who obtained that Class.

Taking the Hero Class made Alioth's abilities grow

so incredibly fast that it left his prior classes in the dust,

and he rapidly became the highest-ranking player.

This is bad.

The devilfolk know about the Hero Summoning.

At this rate, said Hero will be killed.

Precisely.

The devilfolk will likely send one of their Seven Luminaries to attack

when the Hero starts his journey.

That's true...

Although that country has the barrier created by the Sword King Alioth,

so the likes of the Seven Luminaries would just be beaten back.

- Barrier? - A Hero Skill, Soul Succession.

You should remember its effect, Mistress Lufas.

Soul Succession.

An AOE Barrier Skill that buffs allies' abilities within the area

while simultaneously severely lowering the abilities of enemies.

The nasty part about that Skill

is that the effect lasts until combat ends.

However, the price for that

is that the user then dies

and gets warped back to town without any chance for resurrection magic to be used.

In this world, its use must equal death.

I heard the Sword King Alioth was sent to an eternal slumber

after erecting the barrier to protect his entire nation.

So even now, Alioth continues to protect his nation?

At least that means it's safe there.

Even Aigo and I would struggle within it.

So it should be safe so long as the Devil King and his son don't show up.

The flip side of that is if the devil king or his son do show up,

then they could risk facing potential ruin.

After all, they're free to attack anything outside of the barrier.

Yeah, that'd be checkmate.

Though it's also a perfect opportunity to defeat the Seven Luminaries.

Understood!
