LV999 Villager

I have never seen nor heard of sucha Monster.

The books that recorded the Monsters discovered by humans until now were kept in the Royal Library. The biggest one on record, worthy of mentioning since it was 18 meters in length, would surely be the existence known as the Dark Dragon.

Despite that, this illusive existence from who knows where was bigger than all the other approaching Monsters.

What is that? I dont know, I toohave never seen such a Monster. No, is that even a Monster in the first place?

Originally, only Menou, who had naturally recognized it, was surprised upon noticing this giant warrior. Its presence, though, was capable of inducing Menou to tremble in fear, but he wasnt the only one.

Everyone felt weak in the knees just by looking at it, and although they had been fighting while repressing the instinct to run away until now, they were sure to fail this time around.

Just as Menou had said, they didnt know whether or not it was a Monster. The bipedal Monster that was covered in blacksteel armor glared at them sharply. Its body was wrapped in a black aura, and in its eyes was a golden glitter. The ground trembled as it advanced slowly, step by step.

Lets retreat. As expected, theres nothing else we can do against that thing.

Although surprised by the giant enemy in front of her, Takako muttered that while keeping her composure.

KuhWeve endured until now, why should we run away!? Dont be foolishI-I wont give up!

After he had said that, Rex took out the sword that had been stabbed into the ground and held it before him. In this situation, Takakos judgement had been correct.

However, since an opportunity to meet his goal of overcoming an opponent several times stronger than him had finally arrived, Rex did not want to give it up so easily.

Face realityWhat can you do against that with your strength? Although I dont know what that giant Monster is, thisthis isnt a situation you can easily solve. This is a genuinelyunprecedented and dangerous situation.

Even without Takakos words, everyone could understand it. Even if they retreated for the time being, they would still have to fight that thing, because there were still humans gathered in Salumeria. It was clearly an opponent they could not oppose.

In other words, they had to face this opponent in this country, before it could affect the survival of humanity on a global scale.

Originally, humans and demons had both possessed overwhelming power, shown through their ability to control what was known as a Country. However, the humans may have been one-sidedly sending Heroes as assassins to the Demon Kings Castle to this day, in order to avoid challenging them in the open. Not once had the Demons ever come to attack them.

Kagami-chanretreat from here at once! Although its regrettablearent you the one that doesnt get it!?

In spite of the approaching blacksteel armor giant, Takako yelled out at Kagami, who stood there staring at the foe that approached with his hands on his hips.

So huge.

Kagami used just those words to describe it.

Immediately after, he cracked his neck with a kokikoki and began to run towards the blacksteel armor giant with a slightly worried look, ignoring Tatakos warning.

HeyKagami-chan!?

Except for Takoko, everyone else was speechless. They couldnt understand this person, who had already surprised them several times during this battle. They did know that he had no fear of death. Yet, why was he challenging the overwhelming enemies before him without fearing defeat, even though he stood no chance against them?

This man, as of this moment, had decided that he would now witness the outcome of his future actions with his own eyes, without looking away. With this resolve, he had gained a sense of duty.

Fall back everyoneeeeee! Run away! This is no longer an opponent we can handle!

Hey! Butthat bastard is still there!

What can we do about it!? Run away! Weve already decided that we will live!

The Salumerian Adventurers, who had continued to fight against the remaining group of several hundred Monsters, began to retreat one after another. This was a natural action, a natural decision. Yet, an unexpected gale appeared and accelerated past the dry wasteland, heading towards the Adventurers who had disappeared towards Salumeria.

HYAAAAAAAAA!

This gale flew up into the air from the dry wasteland, and just before it collided with the blacksteel armor giant, Kagami let out a roar that could be heard by everyone. Then, at that moment,

Ka-Kagami-san?

Kagami had been knocked towards a large rock near Takakos group, far away from the blacksteel armor giant.

The large three meter rock was blown to bits from the collision with Kagami, and its debris rolled around the feet of the group.

This all happened in a moment. When Kagami had tried to punch it, Kagamis entire body had been struck by the blacksteel armor giants immense fist.

R-Run awayits useless! We cant win! Its the end for Salumeria!

UwahUWAAAAAAAAAH!

The Adventurers who had held on to the hope that Kagami would be able to defeat it somehow began to retreat one after another after witnessing his defeat. If you thought about it, the only ones left were the several hundred Monsters, the blacksteel armor giant, and Rexs group.

Its the endeven if its Kagami, it cant be helped. Its useless no matter what, with only the Adventurers here.

Rather than that, Kagami-san is-!

Although Krul tried to rush towards Kagami as she said this, a cloud of dust quickly swept over Kagamis body, and Alice appeared carrying a potion in her mouth.

Kagami-sanKagami-san! Hang in there!

Alice. Its dangerousI told youto stand down, didnt I?

If I compared it to Kagamis dangers, this much is enough for me. Although everyone else ended up running awayyou should be relieved since I wont. Ill be with you until the very end.

As if she was trying to assuage him, Alice smiled at the weakened Kagami, who could barely keep his eyes half-open. However, Kagami understood that the hands supporting him were trembling.

Dont push yourself. Youre trembling, right?

The moment he said that, he placed his hand on Alices head as if to soothe her. Then Krul, who had arrived late, forcibly pushed the Potion into Kagamis mouth.

Its not, Youre trembling, right? Alice-chan is trembling in fear, worried that Kagami is being unreasonable. Why dont you understand this?

Krul muttered that worriedly, and at those unexpected words, Kagamis gaze froze upon her. Immediately after, his gaze turned grim, and he looked in a particular direction.

Such an amazing healing ability. Youre already capable of moving even though you took so much damage. Your endurance, speed, and power are amazing too. Now I understand why things werent going according to schedule. I finally understand why Salumerias Adventurers were able to resist until now. In the beginningAlthough I had thought it was the Hero resistingIt was your power, huh?

A tall man that looked similar to Menou, fully dressed in a Nobles surcoat-like garment, was floating in the air. He flew lower to be next to Kagami and looked at him.

He had pea green hair that covered his asymmetrical right eye. Using human standards, he appeared to be around 20 years old. His proof of being a Demon, horns, firmly sprouted from his head.

Estellarsama?

At this moment, upon seeing the Demon floating in the sky, the surprised Menou trembled.
