“The Heroes Cemetery, right? It’s an impressive place to have as a base.”
“Yes. It seems that because of that, access to that place is prohibited. It appears that the families of the deceased are concerned.”
“…We have to do something about it, don’t we?”
“We really have to do something about it. It’s dangerous to have that as a base, and besides, there are deaths. If we leave it like this, the damage will undoubtedly spread to the capital.”
What Gian is doing is not justified.
In addition to the goal of the Demon King’s Army, the most important thing is that there are deaths.
Demons killing people are enemies of humanity.
We have to act immediately.
“Are you ready to go?”
I move my body as I sway in the carriage and look out through the small window.
There, a large number of tombstones were lined up.
It could be described as a meadow formed in a cemetery.
It is truly impressive that there are so many heroes commemorated there; it seems to be really extensive.
“Kyle-sama, this is as far as I can take you.”
“Yes…”
Just as I was about to respond to the coachman’s voice, my body was violently shaken.
“What is happening?!”
No, that’s not it.
It’s not my body that is shaking, but the carriage is being tossed around.
“Kyaa!!”
“T-This is dangerous!”
I heard Elisa and Yui scream.
I tried to reach out instantly to help, but another particularly strong shake occurred.
“Damn… This is a serious problem!”
Just as I shouted, my body was thrown into the air.
With a crash, I was thrown to where the roof had been before.
“Are you okay?”
“We’re fine. Somehow, we managed to deploy a defensive spell.”
“Thanks to Elisa, I’m also okay.”
It seems that both of them are safe.
Hanging from the now inverted carriage, I look towards the coachman’s seat.
This is not good, the coachman is not there.
“We were discovered first. This is the worst.”
It seems that the enemy was the first to realize the attack.
“Elisa, Yui, can you move?”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
After nodding, I forcefully hit the door of the shattered carriage.
I smashed the door and managed to get out.
I took a deep breath and looked around.
A meadow full of crosses.
An unusually macabre scene that left me breathless.
“Let’s prepare for battle. This place is dangerous…”
Just as I was about to say that, a strong impact shook my body.
I might have withstood a normal attack, but I was forcefully thrown, leaving me unable to resist and being thrown back.
“Agh!”
As I destroy the crosses, I am thrown.
“Kyle!”
“Kyle-san!!”
Somehow, I draw my sword and stab it into the ground to forcefully stop myself.
“Whew… That was close.”
Despite staggering, I managed to stand up.
“The power is truly incredible. Despite everything, I don’t have a scratch on me.”
“You’re truly amazing. Not even a scratch after taking my attack.”
“Ah!”
I hear a voice behind me and feel someone grabbing my shoulder.
With fear, I turn slowly and see a young man with two large horns.
“Humans are simply inferior creatures in the end. Even though I am an officer of the Demon King’s Army, you will never be able to defeat me.”
Instinctively, I break free from his grip and assume a defensive stance.
“Eh? Do you really think you can defeat me with that weak fist?”
“Are you… the demon who has his base here?”
“That’s right, and so what?”
“Did you kill those humans?”
“Did I kill them? Yes, I just killed them.”
“Do you have something to say?”
“Even though I only killed insignificant humans, are you so angry? You are pathetic… or aren’t you?”
I clench my fist tightly and look at Gian.
“Elisa, Yui, get ready.”
“Understood!”
“Yes!”
I fix my gaze on my opponent and tighten my lips.
“I’m going to defeat Gian.”
