The first time I felt a sense of difference was two hours after I broke up with Neferti.

“… ?”

Deus, who felt some strange energy, immediately stood up.

Then, the search party that was just preparing for camping also reflexively stood up.

When that huge young man moved, it was something they did without realizing.

“Um.”

Deus’s eyes, which were moving back and forth, stopped at some point.

Then he turns his head to those who are looking confused.

“Everyone. Before taking a break, I’m really sorry, but can you move a little more?”

In “? uh. Now, now?”

“Yes. Right now.”

The Dukedom’s search party looked perplexed at Deus’ words.

This is an opinion that is originally difficult to accept. And there is no need to.

First of all, he is not from the duchy. Just a guest.

Even though the inviter is a princess, isn’t this a special situation?

Since we’ve already been moving for several hours, our stamina is slowly decreasing.

From any perspective, this is an unreasonable request.

There is no problem if you refuse. Rather, the other side should understand.

“Okay.”

“Let’s get ready right away.”

However, all the search team members stood up as if they had made a promise.

Then, they put the saddle on the horse again and even distributed something to chew on to keep them from drowsiness.

This is, I mean. okay. This is because it is an emergency situation.

I’m doing this because I believe he may have sensed something since he’s a student at the cradle.

never. I’m definitely not doing this because I’m afraid of that young man named Deus!

An hour after Deus and the search party started moving again.

“Wait! stop! Something is approaching from the side!”

“… Isn’t that Patrick? Where are we going with all the soldiers?”

“Why can’t I see the other noblemen? You can’t even see the princess!

The youngest of the knights in Neferti’s exploration party.

He was dragging all the soldiers who were supposed to be with the princess.

“Patrick!”

When these personnel call his name, a knight named Patrick approaches.

Then, as soon as he saw the knight in front, he got off his horse as if he was falling.

“Now! We must immediately join the people with special abilities sent from Lee Neungseong!”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Where did you leave the princess? Other articles!”

“The situation, the situation is not good! Come on!”

Patrick’s short and bold explanation follows.

An encounter with two unidentified men and women. And the princess’s urgent order to leave.

The soldiers who quickly retreated and the other knights who remained to take charge of the rearguard.

“This… .”

Knights also know well about Neferti’s skills.

If she was so nervous that she even gave an order to leave, it must have been a serious situation.

“Quickly, get in touch with the talented people sent by Lee Neungseong! If you run at full speed, you might be able to join them in an hour! Patrick! You can tell me where it is right away! Even if all the soldiers leave, we will unconditionally join the princess!”

She is the master’s daughter. She is the princess of the duchy. It must be followed unconditionally.

Whether the opponent is a wizard, a person with special abilities, or a monster. Even if it is a larger evil being.

‘Come to think of it.’

Among the group, there is a student who showed quite outstanding performance in the cradle.

They also heard news about him. Did you say you captured a new enemy, the devil?

The title of Cradle Hero can only be earned by a genius among geniuses.

Even though he is a student, in the current situation, he is like a thousand demons.

So I called Deus’s name to ask him for help… .

“… what. Where did that young man go?”

There was nothing where Deus was standing just moments ago.

*

‘also.’

Something bigger should have happened at the kennel, but it didn’t.

Originally, there was another devil there. There had to be a new boss.

The part where the monsters were filled with madness that had never been seen before.

There are parts where something that is by no means ordinary fire pours out of the gate.

But that didn’t happen. That was the end in the kennel.

Monsters run rampant, and the gate level rises. There was no devil there.

‘What if all of that was just a curtain to block intrusion from the other side?’

It is a hypothesis that has a lot of potential. Thinking this, Deus increased his speed.

A distance that would still take an hour on horseback was covered in just 10 minutes.

And before long, I was able to spot two men and women standing in front of me, as well as Neferti.

I had to pay more attention. I had to pay more attention.

I even received a request from parents who lost their child to help their daughter.

If the situation had gone awry, it would have already been too late.

‘I’ve seen too many damn sad endings. ‘I’m tired of seeing major characters leaving.’

Even the death of characters we only read through text is a terrible nightmare.

How much more so when it comes to real people who have a face-to-face conversation.

It seems that they took it a little lightly, thinking it was just a comedy genre.

I think I took it easy without realizing it because I thought I wouldn’t lose anyone.

‘Like an idiot, my thoughts were short.’

Deus’ body, which was rushing at an incredible speed, instantly leaps into the air.

The bullet turned into one huge bullet and flew towards the devil standing there.

‘Stop killing key characters, damn it!’

This is something I really wanted to say to the author of .

Stop killing well-made characters! Why are you so anxious that you can’t kill everyone?!

I want to throw a jet kick with all my might to kill everything you have created!!

―Kwaaang!!

A woman standing with a whip falls to the ground in a cloud of dust.

The man who reacted immediately ran to the end to take care of her.

Meanwhile, Deus came up next to Neferti and opened his mouth with a sigh.

“I have been asked a favor by the duke for a long time, so what should I do if I do this?”

“Whoa, junior?!”

“I almost got PTSD.”

Only those who have experienced this understand this. They say it’s just text, just text.

Still, it is a new world that I have been immersed in by investing my time, money, and passion.

That’s how shocking it is to lose a character there!

This isn’t even a novel, it’s the real world.

Regardless of the oath or anything else, I absolutely refuse to encounter such a situation.

―Suddenly! Crash!

Every time I lightly relax my body, an eerie sound comes out.

Neferti trembles slightly without realizing it.

Without any exaggeration, it’s scarier than when I just faced the devil!

“Chairman.”

“Ugh, ugh! Junior!”

“Go over there and sit quietly.”

Immediately after those words were finished, Deus’ elbow struck downward.

―Kwajik!!

Before I knew it, a man had approached the bottom of Deus and was about to make a surprise attack.

But what greeted him was Deus’s elbow, which looked like a club of some kind.

A man who was hit squarely falls to the floor.

“Ugh… .”

oh. A sincere admiration flows from between Deus’ lips.

It is an elbow attack struck precisely in the center of the temple.

Not a human, but a monster. Even if it were a devil, it would have been a huge shock.

You must have had a rare experience where your vision and brain were shaken at the same time.

Yet this man, who looked like a devil, was holding on to Deus’ arm.

“Good job! This is why I like you!”

A ray of red flame appears through the thick dust. No, the whip flies.

Astaroth appeared behind him with an eerie smile on his face.

“Hehehehe! It was you! It was you! It’s a trumpet that sounds at dawn or something! That lowly creature that went toe-to-toe with Jagan! Ahahaha!!”

sick. It hurts like hell, but it’s fun. Very fun! Interesting!!

He didn’t feel anything until that person kicked him.

Maybe the reason was that I was distracted by the bugs that were attacking me right in front of me.

Or is it just that the trumpet and other lower creatures are that great?

Whatever it is, it’s good. It’s just so good that it makes you laugh.

As if it were a curse. As if it had become the reason for existence.

Because it is something that can break this laziness that has bound oneself.

It’s been a long time since I was so excited that I couldn’t stop moving my body!

―Chrrr!!

A bright red whip wraps around Deus’ forearm like a vine.

The blazing flames also move along with it.

A normal person would find even the whip painful, let alone the flames.

It’s not just a whip, it has blade-like sharp fragments stuck in all directions.

My skin would tear if I just brushed against it, so I held on with my bare forearms.

“Heeheehee! I understand why Jagan struggled so much. You’re really strong, aren’t you?”

“… .”

“Yes. I’ll admit it. For a bug. For a lowly creature, it’s quite amazing. It’s hard to find someone this strong even around here. Everyone is busy running away whenever they see me!”

Another whip appears from Astaroth’s left hand with flames.

At the same time, the man who was thought to have fainted clings tenaciously to Deus’ forearm.

“Deus!”

Neferti, who was retreating, is startled by the sight and tries to help him.

However, it stopped immediately after hearing Deus’ words.

“I told you to step back.”

With one big swing of his hand, the man is pinned to the ground.

It was so horribly stuck that you can’t even see it from the neck down.

Then, he pulls back the forearm around which the whip was wrapped.

“Ugh?”

Astaroth, which had seemed to be holding on with ease until now, stumbles greatly.

‘under? ‘Look at this?’

I naturally thought that the one holding on was my opponent. That was the natural decision.

But now I see it’s not true. The person who was holding on was none other than himself.

Even now, if you make a mistake, you will be caught in those scary hands.

If you are held by that hand, no matter how much you are, you will feel a little anxious.

Astaroth quickly came to a conclusion and immediately let go of the whip.

At the same time, I roughly picked the man stuck on the floor and placed him in front of me.

“… It hurts a lot.”

“Right? So that’s it. It’s been a while since I thought I’d try it properly.”

“Are you serious? Also, you shouldn’t cancel just because it’s annoying.”

“I don’t do it. And even if you do, do you have a choice?”

That’s right. The man muttering like that grabs Astaroth’s hand.

For a moment, it seemed like a huge flame was consuming his body, and then its shape began to change.

After a while. The man suddenly disappeared.

All that remains is a huge ax in Astaroth’s hand.

“ character. Let’s do it right. Our trumpet Mr.”

The estimate has already been made. He is a guy who has nothing to boast about other than his strength.

In that case, you will win no matter what, so there will be no problem if you play as much as you want!!
