It seems that Shera was evaluated to be level 40 as an Archer even when she was a child. So they are people strong enough to take someone like her away by force.
Are they really level 60 or higher?
In order to not be aimed at by the Elves from now on, it would probably be better to hand Shera over to them.
Rather, he might be able to get the Greenwood Royal Family to owe him.
Even if he were to demand a reward that would allow him to live without discomfort even in this other world, they would most likely pay it.
Diablo smiled.
——Well, that kind of solution would be too boring!
「You damned clowns.」
「Wh,what!? Were we just called clowns!? By a lowly slave trader!」
「You people have committed three mistakes. I shall correct them one-by-one. First, I am not a slave trader, I am a Magician.」
「Mu……!? It couldn’t be, that rain of fire just now was……」
「Next, Shera is not powerless. Because, right now, I……am lending her a hand.」
It wasn’t only Shera, even Rem looked hard at Diablo.
「Diablo! You decided to become mine!?」
「……No way.」
「Do not misunderstand. This just means that right now, my interest is towards you——Didn’t I say this before? That, depending on your objective, I would lend you a hand.」
「Yeah! You said that!」
「I shall show a bit of my true strength to this youngster that prattled that he would “take you back by force” in front of me.」
「Th, thank……you……!!」
Shera made a face that looked like she would cry at any moment.
She had firmly talked back to them, but in reality, she was probably insecure. Rem placed a hand on her shoulder.
「……Everything is going to be alright.」
「Yeah.」
With a tearful voice, she nodded.
Diablo expressed an arrogant and cruel smile just like a Demon King would.
「Clowns, your third error is, that you made an enemy of me……you had better learn of your own powerlessness and despair!」
If they were to know how big their level difference was, they probably wouldn’t come back after recovering over and over again.
Though, frightening them enough without killing them would be pretty difficult……
He faced Selsio’s group and made a declaration.
「I will annihilate you!」
「If you are going to resist, then you will fall prey to our bows!」
All of the Elves nocked their bows.
「Fire all at once!」
They were considerably proficient.
Together with Selsio’s command, ten arrows had truly drawn near Diablo simultaneously.
Since Shera and Rem were at his back, there was no way he could avoid them.
——Well, I won’t be avoiding them though.
Right before the arrows hit him, they radically lost speed.
This was due to the defensive barrier caused by magic and the half physical damage effect of his equipped 《Hollow of Jet Black》.
For the most part, the attacks didn’t reach him.
Selsio’s group was shocked.
「What in the world!?」
「Hmph……And here I thought you’d do a bit better than that.」
It would seem that in this world, even the “strongest” and the “elite” were around level 50.
Selsio raised a confused voice.
「Impossible……having received our arrows, is he really unharmed!?」
——Was this not just because of the level difference?
It seemed like the quality of their equipment was also low.
If it were the game, bow-users would carry bows strengthened with magic. If it were a magically enhanced bow, even with the physical damage was halved, it probably would have reached Diablo.
He looked at the arrows that had fallen to the ground.
In regards to Cross Reverie, arrows were items that would be consumed. In exchange for being able to fire powerful attacks from long distance, there was a chance that Archers would run out of ammo. It was required that they either buy more from a store or manufacture some with a Subclass skill.
And then, while this is natural, depending on the arrow’s quality, the offensive ability would drastically change.
The arrowhead was a triangle, and it was made of wood with length of about one meter. The tail end had flight feathers.
——This is the graphic of store bought good.
In order to reign as a Demon King, he needed to be able to differentiate the effects of the arrows that his opponent used just by looking at the graphics.
To put it plainly, this was a normal arrow.
「You fools, just what are you always fighting against? With these arrows, just what can you defeat?」
「Kuh……Are you mocking us……!?」
「I asked you a question. Do you only hunt beasts of the forest with these? Is that why you don’t fight against the Demonic Beings or the Demonic Beasts?」
「Th, that’s……Isn’t that natural……」
Selsio and the others felt ashamed.
Diablo nodded his head with an “I see”.
——So that’s why the people of this world have such low levels.
