“Gooo!!”

Breath spurted out from the monster’s mouth.

Kugwagwagagagak!

Breath came quickly towards us, who were running away, smashing the stone floor of the square.

Fortunately, Shamir and James jumped away just before they were hit by the breath.

“Kaaa!!!”

When the breath with all its might failed, the monster scratched its head and screamed.

We took the gap and entered the alley.

“Once I evacuated…”

I looked at James holding Liz.

“How are you here?”

“I was looking for where Liz had gone when she disappeared, and then I saw her jumping into the fountain and later you jumped in too, so you followed her in.”

“You’re brave.”

Shamir, who was listening from the side, chuckled.

I looked at Liz’s face as James held her.

“Wasn’t that a bother for you?”

“It was annoying… But that doesn’t mean I don’t like it.”

James scratched his cheek.

“What… Is that how you feel?”

“There are things like that, but I think it’s more because we’ve known each other since we were kids.”

“Then you can escape on your own later.”

I peeked my head out through the alley and looked at the square in the distance.

The monster was randomly destroying buildings in the distance.

“We are here, why are you destroying the building over there?”

“So?”

As Shamir said, they were destroying the building and checking inside as if they were looking for something.

“Who the hell is that guy?”

James, who had been listening to our conversation from behind, spoke up.

“You take good care of your fallen bedroom friend.”

I waved my hand and bit James.

“No, you can’t let a woman fight alone.”

James leaned Liz against the wall and covered her with his coat.

Then he took out his gun and showed it to me.

“I will fight together too.”

“With your level of skill, you can’t take down something like that.”

James shook his head at my words.

“No, you won’t know until you try!”

At James’ words, I grabbed him by the collar and pressed him down.

“Gagging…!”

He must have been out of breath as he grabbed my wrist and tried to free my hand.

“Yeah, you won’t know until you try, but you know what?”

James looked up at me at my question.

“I’ve been rolling on the battlefield for nearly 10 years, and all the people who said things like that are dead.”

“Ugh!”

I let go of James’ collar.

“Instead, I’ll borrow this.”

“Oh…my gun…!”

I took the gun and ammunition out of James’ pocket.

“5 bullets… and about 7 gunpowder bags.”

I looked at the bullet closely.

“This bullet… I don’t think it’s lead?”

Shamir came up to me and picked up a bullet.

“is.”

“So it looks like it worked…”

I put bullets into guns filled with gunpowder.

“Use it well and return it.”

“…”

James glared at me with resentful eyes.

“It’s much better to live than to fall behind, so don’t open your eyes like that.”

I put the gun on my waist and walked back out to the square.

“Let’s go together.”

Shamir also summoned a sword with magic and followed me.

“Where are you…! Where are you…!”

The monster was still rummaging through the buildings, looking for something.

“Wow!!!”

The monster seemed to have found something and screamed as it picked something up from the building.

“That…!”

In the monster’s hands were three unconscious young ladies.

“It looks like it’s trying to suck blood.”

I quickly picked up the gun and aimed it at the monster’s forehead.

bang!

“Kaaak!”

The monster hit by a bullet in the forehead rolled around on the floor, clutching its forehead.

Kwajajajak! Kwakwak!

As the large body rolled on the floor, everything, whether it was a building or a stone floor, was being destroyed.

However, the monster said it was in pain and threw away the ladies it was holding in its hands.

“I will do it.”

Shamir raised his magic power and shot magic at the falling ladies.

Then the wind picked up and the ladies slowly came down to the ground.

“It’s an urgent situation, but can I ask you one question?”

“Any amount.”

“Why do you work as a spy?”

“You want to ask why you live as a spy rather than a wizard?”

“Yes, that’s right, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand it.”

“I don’t do things like wizards because I’m frustrated.”

“Is the wizard there a little different from here?”

“Originally, I wanted to become a magician, but when I tried to memorize the entire Bible, there were too many psalms, so I gave up and lived as a spy.”

“It’s a different species.”

“I usually hear things like that a lot.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at Shamir’s confident attitude.

“I will deal with that monster, and you have to evacuate the ladies in the building to another place.”

Shamir nodded and began to evacuate the ladies.

“How many times have you interrupted me!!! I will definitely kill you!!!”

The monster suddenly came to its senses and shouted at me.

“Do you know that?”

I pulled out my sword.

As I raised the sword, an aura as blue as cold moonlight surrounded the blade.

“I don’t know how many times you told me you were going to kill me, but you still couldn’t kill me.”

The monster gritted its teeth at my words.

“For sure this time! I firmly promise to kill you!”

The monster spread its wings wide and lunged at me at high speed.

It was sticking its head forward as if it was planning to hit me with the large horns on its head.

“You can’t beat me!”

I swung the knife towards the monster’s head.

Kaang!

Sparks flew as my sword and the monster’s horn clashed.

Teuong!

The horn, which was as hard as cast iron, broke.

“Keuuugh!!! My horn!!!”

When the monster saw its broken horn, it went crazy and screamed out evil.

I immediately took out another pistol and shot the monster.

bang!

“Aaagh!”

The monster that had been shot in the middle of its chest clutched its chest in pain.

“Don’t look away!”

I jumped onto the monster’s knee, stabbed it deeply with the knife, and jumped back up again.

“Goodbye!”

Phew!

I stabbed the knife deeply into the monster’s heart.

Blue auras fluttered in all directions like ribbons blowing in the wind.

“Keueoeook….!”

The monster made a boiling sound and its body began to gradually collapse.

Keep going!

He immediately pulled out the sword that was stuck up to the bridge of his nose and shook off the black blood.

The monster’s body turned black and faded to ash.

I felt strange looking at that.

Normally, when someone dies, a body is left behind, but it was very awkward to see them disappear completely, leaving behind only a pile of ashes.

“Well… it doesn’t matter.”

Suddenly, my body seemed to relax and lose all strength.

“Did I use too much force…”

I sheathed the knife and went to give the gun back to James.

“Take it.”

“…”

When I handed him the gun, James took it without saying a word.

“If the price of the bullet is an issue, I will compensate you.”

James shook his head at my words.

“If you go into the fountain you came in from here, you will be able to go outside again.”

“Thank you.”

James bowed his head to me and returned to the fountain with Liz on his back.

“You are truly amazing.”

When I returned, Shamir applauded me.

“Why the sudden applause?”

“You deserve applause for defeating such a monster all by yourself.”

“If you float it, nothing will come out, so don’t say that.”

“I will stop if you have dinner with me tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll combine it with the cost of clothes and eat it tomorrow.”

Shamir smiled at my words.

“But, I choose the place.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Anyway, how do we move these many ladies…”

I looked at the stunned ladies, scratching their heads.

I should have asked someone to call me on the way to James.

“I will be watching over you, so please come back.”

“I understand.”

I patted Shamir on the shoulder and headed to the fountain.

Flap!

As I was heading to the fountain, a man in a black cloak suddenly blocked my path.

“Who are you!”

“Marie de Rohan.”

He called my name and took off his hood.

Like Princess Shapril, she had dark blue hair and golden eyes.

“Are you the Duke of Orléans?”

“Yes, I am the Duke of Orleans.”

Cheaeng!

I pulled out my sword.

“You son of a bitch… Do you know how hard it was because of the Orange Sapphire you spread?!”

“I never targeted that area while making medicine, and that’s a shame.”

The Duke of Orleans looked at me and sneered.

“Do you think this writer is everything he says!”

“Then what, are you saying you’re going to kill me?”

“If I can kill you, I will. Since there is no one here at the moment, isn’t this a golden opportunity?”

“If you can, try it.”

The Duke of Orléans rushed towards me, flapping the hem of his cloak.

“What…?!”

I couldn’t deal with it because it was rushing at me at such a fast speed.

bang!

I was kicked in the stomach by him and I was thrown straight into the wall.

“Ugh…!”

The Duke of Orléans stomped hard on my back to prevent me from getting up and resisting.

He grabbed me by my hair as I fell to the floor and lifted me up.

“The effort I put in was shattered thanks to you killing Asmoden.”

“Hehe…!”

I lifted one corner of my mouth and laughed at him.

Sigh!

He hit my face hard on the stone floor.

“Laugh at me…?”

“I guess I accomplished what I did by being able to fuck you.”

“It’s not going to end with Asmoden anyway, and this space will soon collapse because four years have killed it.”

The Duke of Orleans looked at me for a moment and then let me go.

“If you go out alive and return, always watch your back.”

He left his words as if he were talking to himself and disappeared before my eyes.

I had to get up again and move quickly, but my body didn’t move easily.

In my increasingly blurred vision, I could see a flickering mana light, but it quickly went black.
