## Story

### Summoned by the Demon King to Defeat the Hero

Hyllus was part of Lucullus' unit to investigate the Manticore.

When Kuroki invades Alrena Temple, he sent the Spartoi to preoccupy the Temple Knights, Hyllus was struggling against the Spartoi.

### The Horn of the Holy Dragon Lord

Hyllus was part of the escort unit for the Hero of Light's Party in Roch Kingdom.

Hyllus and four Temple Knights were near the red-light district, blocking the road. They stopped Kuroki and Rena, Hyllus noticed Rena's hidden presence. He is unaware of Rena's identity and assumed her to be a prostitute. He tries to get rid of Kuroki by driving him away like a dog. Hyllus tried to touch Rena, only for Kuroki to throw him away. The temple knights drew out their sword, and eventually they were knocked out by Kuroki.

Hyllus and the others was transferred to Orua's house to get treatment.

Hyllus used a powerful paralysis smoke-bomb against Lucullus and the other Temple Knights.

They would replace the guards of the country until the hero's party return to Holy Lenaria Republic, it would be a humiliation for the elites.

### The Order of the Swan Knights

He was waiting with Gylphos and Lucullus, while Lucrezia brought Kouki to Lucullus' room. Lucullus assigns him on a new mission with Gylphos and Kouki.

At the signal from Hyllus, Kouki and the others are called into action. The mission consists of the captain, the knight Hyllus, the esquires who serves the knights, Melinia the sibyl, the female knight who protects the sibyl and her female esquire.

Hyllus seemed to have arbitrarily divided the esquires into two groups, based on their social status. Hyllus leading the way on horseback, sensed something ominous like in Roch Kingdom incident. Hyllus is called by the sibyl and heads for the carriage. Hyllus listens as he advances the horses alongside the carriage. Melinia tells Hyllus that she foresaw something is watching them. Perhaps she sees something that Hyllus cannot see. But this means that Hyllus is not imagining that he has a bad feeling about it. Hyllus had an uneasy feeling about the destination of his journey.

Hyllus and his assistant Hoplon greeted the Sarellia's swan knight branch and leave their horses with them, and the sibyl's group also get off their carriages and enter the branch. Hyllus gave orders to Hoplon to take turns to stand guard. Hyllus and Furyon are accompanied by two knights, they planned to go drinking with the pretence of patrolling.

Hyllus looks at the fallen ones and surprised at them disappeared away. Hyllus grits his teeth and orders his men to return to the sibyl side.

The sibyl raises a crystal ball to the sky in front of Hyllus. Hyllus and the others quietly watch the sibyl do her thing. As the sibyl collapse, Hyllus and the others also rush to the sibyl. Hyllus commands Gylphos to get the sibyl to the carriage. Hyllus worried about the sibyl's word about the dark knight. Neckes exclaims of a fiend attack, and the knights are surprised. Hyllus stops Hoplon on a rescue mission to aid Kouki. It was a natural decision. He cannot put the priestess in danger for the sake of one esquire. In the first place, it is strange that esquire alone is strong enough to stop them. There could have been another fiend to attack. Hyllus orders his knights to be on alert and ignores Neckes' desperate eyes.

Hyllus, the captain, was cool-headed in his decision. He said that he could not devote his forces to rescue a mere esquire. He also decided to move quickly for the sake of the fallen sibyl. They called back all the esquire except Kouki, left the place and started to move. Captain Hyllus gives the order to continue on the main road.

Hyllus looks around and cusses. Hyllus and the others were supposed to be going straight down the street. They're been on the city road here many times.

The Swan Knights Order are in the middle of receiving the hospitality of Bihenna, Queen of the Snobihe Kingdom. Hyllus and his men are drinking. Dancers dance and drink, and the Swan Knights are entertained.
In the midst of all this, Hyllus, the Swan Knights' captain, looks unhappy. The captain looks around and says the enemy is not only wolves. Hyllus exclaims in amazement. Kouki was fighting on equal terms with an opponent that even Gylphos was no match for. It was an unbelievable sight for Hyllus, who knew the strength of Gylphos. Both dualists cross swords fiercely. Hyllus does not know who has the upper hand. Hyllus looks at the sibyl Melinia. Hyllus thinks she is like a mother rejoicing at the growth of her child. Hyllus shuddered in fear when he saw Dahāku. Hyllus sees Kouki fighting. Hyllus bows his head and steps back. Hyllus and the others are now inside a ward created by the sibyl.

## Abilities

Lucullus says he has talent with the sword and has the magic of quality. In a one-on-one fight against Lucullus, Hyllus would not lose to his boss.

Hyllus has the ability to see through invisibility and illusions. After the incident, he had become sensitive to people using deceptive magecraft.
