Of course, I thought that I might mess up something anonymously. But actually, I’m not that worried.

You might wonder why I suddenly changed my words, but really, what can you do about something like that?

To briefly explain why… .

Believing in anonymity is one thing, but what kind of accident would happen if you had an accident here?

Well, no matter how big the accident is, it’s only going to be killing demons, so what’s wrong with that?

That would be the case. I don’t know exactly what the circumstances are with the demons here, but… wouldn’t they try to attack humans?

First of all, I am also human, so psychologically, I would feel more guilt about killing humans than demons.

If you think about it, killing could also be a method.

If you say something like, ‘The demons are alive too!’ then I have nothing to say.

“Um… .”

As for me, no matter how much I try to feel guilty about killing demons, it’s only like killing insects that are harmful to humans.

of course.

If the nameless kills the demon tribe, there will be nothing left to say to Lily, who has become somewhat close to him, but if it comes down to it, he can just turn his back on the demon king and go back to living in the hut.

Besides, if I think about it a little selfishly, in my case, I think it was more comfortable and fun for me to live in a cabin with just the nameless person rather than wandering around outside.

“Ah… .”

Now that I think about it, there is just one thing. There is something better about being outside.

Strawberries taste better when eaten outside.

I feel like the conversation has gone off on a tangent for a moment… .

anyway.

Now is not the time to think like that.

He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and turned his head to look at Elia.

Obviously, you asked me to protect Elia, who has no fighting ability.

I wondered if I was being too worried, since the one who would face the demons was my disciple, the nameless one, and the warrior chosen by the world, Lucius.

“…”

I recalled Lucius’ expression when he asked me to do it, and with a short sigh I moved to Elia’s side.

Slightly- I raised my head and looked at Elia. She was looking at Nameless and Lucius with a worried expression, wondering what was so worrying her.

“Hmm.”

It seems that they are worried about the fact that they will have to fight the demons who defeated Camilla’s Knights.

As for me, I have had a brief encounter with that demon, and I know he is nothing special… .

Elia wouldn’t be like that. But you can’t say to Elia, ‘I know that demon, and he’s weak!’

With a small sigh, he patted Elia on the shoulder to comfort her.

“Elia, don’t worry too much.”

“Ah… Harang.”

Elia flinched, perhaps startled by the sudden physical contact, and lowered her head to look at me.

‘I wonder if I’m being overly surprised?’ But soon, that thought disappeared when I saw Elia’s relaxed expression and slightly raised the corners of her lips.

If you were too nervous, you might get surprised like that.

He nodded slightly and opened his mouth to Elia to follow Lucius and the nameless man who were going ahead.

“Let’s go soon too.”

“… Yes.”

Perhaps it was her mood that made Elia’s smile look awkward.

…

How long has it been since I started chasing after the unpleasant feeling on my skin?

The deepest part of the cave.

There, a demon tribe greeted us warmly as if they had been waiting for us.

“Nice to meet you, humans.”

A pair of dried horns. A pointed tail. Small fangs that show whenever he speaks. And a uselessly gentlemanly way of speaking.

As expected. Should I say that?

It seems that the demon in front of us is the one I encountered in the hut when I showed my optimism to the nameless.

…Why is it that my hunch is only right at times like this? How nice it would be if things always went as I expected.

The demon lowered his head slightly, smiled faintly, and opened his mouth.

“Briefly introduce my name-”

“Jackal!”

It was drowned out by Lucius’s tearing, rage-filled scream.

The demon called Jackal by Lucius tilted his head slightly and opened his mouth with a questioning expression.

“Huh? Do you know me?”

Lucius frowned at the jackal’s calm question, then raised his sword and aimed it at the jackal.

“I know!”

“… This is my first time seeing you.”

Like a jackal with a puzzled expression, I also looked at Lucius with a dumbfounded expression.

…Why is it like that?

The thought occurred to me, ‘Have Lucius and the Jackal ever met?’, but judging from the Jackal’s questioning expression, it seems that it was not.

Lucius looked at the jackal with a look of disgust, as if he were looking at a cockroach.

“How many… because of you!”

The words of resentment that followed.

I let it go in one ear and squinted my eyes, looking at the jackal.

As time passes, the familiar patterns drawn around him begin to take on a brighter red hue, as if something is rising from them.

Hmm, I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere… .

“Where have I seen it… .”

“Yes?”

“Hmm, nothing.”

I waved my hand slightly to Elia, who seemed to be concerned about my muttering and expressed her doubts, telling her not to worry about it.

I clearly remember seeing something similar to that pattern whenever Lily suddenly appeared or when she returned after finishing her business.

… Is there a Lily nearby? I don’t feel any movement.

As I tilt my head like that, I am pondering the source.

As soon as the conversation ended, Lucius was already leaping at the jackal, spreading golden waves of energy in all directions.

-bang!

“Has it already started?”

“… Yes?”

Okay, it can’t end too quickly.

I just hoped that the demons would escape safely.

…

The dark cave.

Illuminated by Lucius’s brilliant light.

“Anonymous! To the left!”

Lucius shouted and leaped at the jackal.

At the same time.

Nameless glanced at Lucius and jumped together with him at the right time.

The jackal closed his eyes at Lucius’ words.

It seems that his idea of trying to buy time through conversation was too complacent.

“I don’t know why you’re so angry, but… .”

Jackal let out a small sigh and looked at the two inspectors rushing towards him as if they were exploding.

and.

At the same time he put on his clothes.

Numerous magic circles around the area began to emit red light.

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Chains with a gloomy glow crawled out, making a rattling sound.

He ran straight towards Lucius and the nameless one.

-bang!

At the numerous chains approaching him, Myeong-un rolled his eyes here and there.

There are too many of them to cause any harm.

then.

“Sigh!”

The nameless man stared straight at the chains without blinking for a moment.

Swing your sword in a semicircle.

He threw away the chains that were pouring down on him.

‘Just harvest them and reduce their number.’

The sound of iron clashing with iron continued explosively.

-visor!

On the other hand, unlike this anonymity.

Lucius was avoiding the chains with just small movements.

This is through Lucius’s future poem.

Why is the movement of the chain visible?

“Jackal!!”

like that.

Lucius approached the jackal before Anonymous.

-Hung!

I swung my sword with all my might without stopping.

-Jjaeng!

It was blocked by a chain that rose up like a jackal.

“… You have good eyes.”

With a little exclamation from the jackal.

A figure appeared on his right.

“Ugh!”

Containing an anonymous crimson wave.

Numerous sword strikes followed.

…

As I watched the battle between the two, I became increasingly anxious.

Why, why is our breathing so fucking bad… .

To begin with, weren’t the two’s dark personalities very different?

Lucius swings his sword with overwhelming force, and the nameless sword quickly shoots as if not giving him time to react.

I never would have guessed that our breathing would be so in sync.

Cold sweat kept running down my cheeks due to anxiety.

Of course, it is amazing that Jackal can stand up to Lucius and Anonymous with such composure.

“It’ll be over in 3 minutes… .”

Perhaps, that leisurely moment when a jackal is seen will disappear in an instant.

That would be the case.

Even though only Nameless and Lucius approached once, the numerous patterns surrounding the jackal were noticeably disappearing.

I bit my lip in nervousness.

What should I do… Should I interfere with those two right now?

No, it would be obvious that Elia next to him would notice his movements.

Elia is also a saint, even though her fighting ability is lacking.

It’s not like he’s that squinty.

…then what should we do?

I turned my head here and there, looking for a way.

Then suddenly.

“That’s….”

A pattern that I had felt a sense of foreboding from earlier caught my eye. It was clearly emitting only a faint light, but it had become brighter than before.

Could it be… that that is a magic circle that moves through space?

Well then, if you spill a little bit of your history there.

Could it be possible to shorten the time it takes for the jackal to escape even a little?

The thoughts were short and the actions were quick.
