The Latest Game Is Too Amazing

A set of adventurer parties came to the Adventurer Guild in Maukt. The man of the guild official who was at the reception when he saw the party breaks his face. Havok, apparently a familiar face and the oldest man at the party, spoke with familiarity.

"Oh, it's been a long time."

"What is it, Havok? Are you back from the Commune?"

"Oh. I'm just here today to see how things are going because I'm still in charge of the job. I'm going back to the Commune as soon as I'm done here."

"Well, it's a good thing."

The guild clerk man gave him a look like he remembered something.

"No, I heard that. It worked great in the Commune, didn't it?"

"Is that information already out there?

Liam, a young man, reacts to the official's words at the party. Although not as well known as the heroes in the comune, their names, which worked with the heroes, are also widespread among ordinary people.

It is never a bad thing for an adventurer to be famous. Rather, the quest that nominated the party is more profitable.

But Liam was honestly not happy.

Because their acquaintance had become too famous before, Liam, who had been drank by a wave of enthusiastic crowds and was with them, was also caught in the wind and in terrible sight. I was a little cautious that it would become traumatic and if it were to descend on me as well.

"We haven't found out yet, but the guild staff and some adventurers have been notified by the Commune Adventurer Guild. And then there are the merchants from the Commune, so they might be spreading it to merchants. At one point, the information from the Commune was interrupted, so I didn't know what had happened to you guys who went to the Commune and I was not serious. When I finally got the information, I didn't think that Vixel was going to attack the Commune, that vampires were taking over, that a party I knew was fighting a giant rock doll demon like a mountain."

"It's a hell of a time to think about it again."

Cornelia, the elf girl, gives a bitter face with a way to reduce headaches.

Until six months ago, she was just a newbie adventurer, who would never have dreamed of fighting the giant monster that attacked the country. Rookies are not the first adventurers to experience this, not even veteran adventurers. Soon after that, the bard (Ginyushijin) sang and became a part of the story.

"I can't tell you there won't be any more."

Emilia, the party's magician, laughed bitterly.

The work we are currently undertaking is the escort of our comrade Kaios, who has fought with us many times. But in fact, it is not so much an escort as an acquaintance of Caios as a mere desire of the Queen of Communes to have them beside Caios. Substantial escort duties have almost turned into famous innocents, but if you're on his side, which is famous in the three countries, you can't inevitably end up with an easy escort mission.

He was always at the forefront of the commotion when the crisis of the country's survival came. It is the common understanding of all party members that there can be no problem if they are on his side.

There is no such thing as plague and contempt for Kaios. Cornelia's, you have a personal duty to save my fellow party's country, and the bond we've fought together.

"But that was a bad time. Even though I have a job. So I'm glad you guys are free, but I can't help but have a job."

"Are you getting a job? Aren't other parties going to undertake it? With that said, you don't have a couple of parties you've seen. On the other hand, there seem to be more faces that I don't see."

Emilia looked around strangely.

"I went to the Commune. They say a vampire makes a human being a family member and a demon, but sometimes blood sucking doesn't make him a family member. I hate to admit it, but humans are food for them. Apparently, vampires were rampaged on a wide range of communes. Many adventurers were harmed if they were working so extensively. That's why I got a request from the Commune Adventurers Guild to go to the arms-up guys. Well, I wish I had fewer parties to send than I expected. But with fewer skilled parties, I can get a job."

"Yeah, that's what you're saying."

Havok felt something and convinced himself with a bitter look on his face.

"Instead, it looks like the people who lost their place in the Commune are coming this way."

"Do you want to go as far as Maukt? It's a long way off."

"Adventurers are a dangerous job. If I don't have to be, I've never been over it. I suppose you think that if you come to a heavily populated capital, you can get it to work. But reality is hard to get to work without being a handover. If you simply need a workforce, gather more people in your job than you can spare. In the end, if you're not a criminal, you'll always have to be an adventurer who wants manpower."

"You don't have to come all the way to Maukt. You must want manpower to rebuild anywhere in the Commune."

"If you think calmly, you will. When you travel, it becomes more dangerous. I've never been over it if I had to go near it. But the demon attacked me. Some say they want to move to a little safe land, or if they lose everything and they're in their hometown, they'll remember that. People have their own reasons."

Alliance officials elbowed on the counter said in a melancholy tone.

"Actually, how bad is the Commune? You guys on the ground know better than I do."

"I was mostly in Clermont while I was in the Commune. I'm not so familiar with anything else."

"I don't mind. We don't have enough information. I'd appreciate it if you guys could give me the raw information you saw and heard."

"Right. Then we'll talk. The damage to the royalty and greats of the Commune was immense, but there was no noticeable damage to the general public. Rather, the damage to the walls and the city is so great when we reclaim Clermont from vampires or when the Weixel Empire attacked Clermont. I've been to the Elf settlement, Nell's hometown, and... oh, and I've been to deliver supplies to the town where the Weixel Empire is sheltering."

Havok remembered what happened in the Commune as he rubbed his chin.

"Right. The town was damaged when it was occupied by the Vixel Empire, but the vampire damage was worse than that. We only saw the injured, but there were many dead. You were doing whatever you wanted."

Cornelia glanced at her, wondering if it was a memory that would make her want to cover her eyes.

"Even when I went to deliver it, demons appeared all over the city. Vixel's soldiers are protecting the city, but they're still not ready for the demons."

"The walls were destroyed. I hope it's fixed."

Many of the injured were also experiencing a significant reduction in their workforce. Restoration of the castle walls is inconsolable. That was even the case in a large town in the Commune. Small villages and towns without even walls remain unsecured with insufficient manpower.

"Still, Vixel's soldiers are doing their best. Somehow there was no such thing around. He must have dealt with it as a matter of priority."

"What is that demon?

Liam leaned his neck and asked.

"It's, in a way, the most troublesome demon. Demons with strong resentment for being killed by demons, and soul-bound demons. Zombies, skeletons... so called undead."

Emilia did the trick of combining her hands and praying.

"It's a demon, but it's a dead person. Besides, if you're not dead and time has passed, you can be attacked by humans as if you were alive. Often times the undead that attacked me were acquainted. They may be human, but they may be demons, but they're coming at us indiscriminately."

"That is. When vampires murmured in the commune, they broke out, and many residents suffered damage. They didn't just give it to their families, they only looked at it as food. There seem to be many casualties. Human beings killed by demons will not be undead if they are treated not to retain the prototype of the body before it becomes undead, but it is not strange if undead appears in town if they do not do so. Formerly a resident of the town. No wonder you look familiar. If they're used to rough things, they're just ordinary people anyway. It's common for people to get attacked while they're confused and become undead again."

"Neither are you other people. The most likely killer by demons is an adventurer who often goes out of town. And the crusade of the undead is one of the adventurers' jobs. In other words, it can be enough to encounter a peer undead during a quest. If you're an adventurer, you have experience fighting demons, so you can feel better, but still fighting demons that look like best friends and deeply bonded people is not a pleasant thing to do. Maybe it's not a distant future. I don't even think about being on my end of the line. It must be a lot of work for a new adventurer."

"If you get to the point where you can't discern your original figure like Skeleton, even ordinary people might be able to break up with demons already. Rather, as much as the Church teaches that it is the priesthood's duty to defeat the undead and to save the souls of the lost, so it should be actively defeated. Still, I was human before I was a priest. Emotions are not that subdued."

Liam seemed to be finally good at explaining Havok, Alliance officials and Emilia.

"So some of the parties that were active in Maukt earlier went to the Commune to defeat the undead?

"I guess it also has the purpose of adding more manpower simply because the adventurer has also suffered damage and the crusade of the surrounding demons is indelible, but it also includes the beginning and end of the undead. Undead isn't indestructible either. I haven't been sitting anywhere near town forever. If you let adventurers from elsewhere do it, you don't have to hurt anything but nostalgia. If Liam and Cornelia continue to be adventurers, remember that there are also jobs like this. I don't like it, but it's a job someone has to do."

"Right. Something with more victims if we don't do it. If that happens, I don't want to, but I have to."

Cornelia nodded, but Liam didn't respond with a face that seemed difficult.

"Whoa, did you realize you were scared?

"No, you're not."

Liam denied it to the teasing guild officials.

"I treat undead as a demon, but sometimes other demons attack you, right? Of course, other demons may dispute with each other, but it is a territorial struggle to secure food and survive. But the undead, why are they attacking demons? It's not self-defense, and you don't have to eat it because you're dead. They're human or demonic, aren't they?"

"I don't think it's because I can't make those rational decisions, Liam, but what are you trying to say?

Emilia asks back at an unpredictable cut.

"You talk about demons being created by evil gods."

"Yeah, that's what they teach us in church."

"Even the undead are demonic, right? The fact that humans become undead by being killed by demons also means that evil gods created them to be so. Isn't that what the evil gods did when the undead started acting like that?"

"Will it...?

In this world, skeletons, zombies, etc. where a human body moves like a living creature are called undead and treated as demons. It is believed that the souls of those who were hit by demons and had strong resentments resided in bones and corpses.

The soul is not allowed to remain in this world. If you die, your soul will go to the post-mortem world, but your strong thoughts will wedge and bind your soul to this world. But the fact that the soul without the flesh that serves as the vessel continues to live in this world is contrary to the natural management, so the soul that loses the flesh and is exposed to the stripping is worn out and almost loses its natural memory and self when it stays in this world. As a result, it was said that the undead would be attacked by humans following intense remaining resentments.

Emilia follows her memories, but has never heard of an inheritance about the origins of the undead.

But it was not surprising that the Undead were more involved in the evil god, the birth parent of the demon than the demon. That's why I get an ambiguous response that I'm not sure about.

"Isn't it something to do with the fight against evil gods? See, evil gods and demons would have been put at a disadvantage by the gods. Many demons must have been defeated in a series of wars. Isn't that why you gave him the curse to undead humans while replenishing his power? If you look at it from a human perspective, the people you've fought with are quickly turned into enemies. I think it's the best kind of harassment you've ever had."

"Then again, did you need to make them attack the demons that were supposed to be on your side? If you think you've finally defeated the enemy, you might come back to the undead and attack them. We might even be in danger if we mistreat them. I feel like I'm falling for something, even though I can be amazing enough to tie the soul of someone who's dead and turn it into an undead."

Liam roars yeah yeah. The other party members opened their eyes. Liam asks strangely how his peers react.

"Somehow, those eyes are"

"I can't believe that Liam is using his head... ⁉"

"Was it so shocking? ⁉"

"There's something emotional going on. How dare you think of a newbie in such a good mood? You must be growing up."

Havok with smudges and tears. Liam sucks at such an attitude.

"Whatever it takes, it's awful!

"Sorry. Sorry."

"Vampires were able to make humans their relatives and obey. I knew it was weird not to be able to be an evil god, the natural parent of demons."

"For what it was a disadvantage, I sought a new power without letting my allies die. No, that's crazy. We're far from calling ourselves allies, and we're back on our feet."

"Then you mean you didn't dare?

Do I dare to make it an unreasonable demon? Everyone on the spot twists their heads.

"You don't know. I've never heard anything like it."

"It was a long time ago, and most importantly, it's what the Evil God thinks. We can't imagine. This is also just Liam's hypothesis in the first place. Sometimes the assumptions are wrong. No, I don't think the evil gods are out there, too. He's a demon god. It may have been difficult to control us by turning us into undead."

"Something is suddenly starting to seem like an evil god………"

The guild clerk laughed and showed them exactly if that wasn't there.

"Why don't you ask me about it? If it's Caios, you know it, don't you? He seems to know a lot of things we don't either."

"That might be a good idea. Or maybe I should ask her who lived in those days."

"Dude, no one's been alive since the mythological era, right?

Alliance officials laugh, but Havok and the others looked at each other. Something's wrong, and the laughing face of the guild staff catches me.

"No, you're not human."

"It's a dragon. Dragon."

"Dragon, no way you..."

The Alliance will shut up. When it comes to dragons that have something to do with them that were in the Commune, I no longer have but one idea.

He understands the dangers of his own dragon. But it is only the lowest ranking Lesser Dragon in the dragon. Still a threat to humans, but the dragon he imagines should be at its finest among dragons. As powerful as the dragon that destroyed the country long ago.

Alliance officials drink saliva with pleasure. Even the adventurers I know in front of me talk like I know them against the top dragons that are also horrible to be so close?

The faces of the party laughed bitterly when they noticed the change in guild staff.

"We had the same reaction in the beginning."

"I was surprised at the mischief when we first met, but it's amazing how intimate you are, so it's silly to be in your shoes."

"I was taken care of personally, including my father. Besides, we fought the Golem together. There's no reason to hate me."

"I'm afraid to look because I'm a dragon, but I'm usually just curious."

"You guys, your liver is rinsing too much. What really happened in the Commune?"

I ask people about what happened in the Commune, but how can I forgive my mind so much for wild dragons? Alliance officials stare at them with a face that sees something incredible.

"No, you've met that hero, Caios, too, haven't you? He's in the royal palace now."

"Yeah, sort of."

It was odd in the eyes of the Alliance staff that Havok kept saying.

"Mr. Kaios, I think the noblemen are wondering because I've been too involved in a major recent demonic incident. That's why I'm worried."

"They treat you like a demon's hand even though there's no evidence. No, it's a terrible argument for putting your life at risk and fighting demons."

Liam is outraged. He just came through the crisis with me, too, and didn't like what the nobles said.

"He seems fed up with it, but he doesn't seem to care much. That's what's holding you back again."

Cornelia also threw up with an irritating mixed voice.

"If you try them, they're suspicious demons, and they're either plotting something or trying to get into the king. Well, I know what they're trying to say."

"Hey Havok! You're not gonna listen to that! He said he looked like the kind of guy Kaios was up to that. ⁉"

Angry Cornelia raised a rough voice unlike earlier frustration.

"I don't think so. He's not the one who thinks about that. He must be the one who cares about his people. I know about that. But that's only because we acted together and understood that's what Kaios is all about."

Havok lightly tells the reason so as to calm Cornelia, who lifts her eyes.

"But nobility is different. Nobles only know about Kaios in the wind. It's like Alexia, who I know, or a favored Knights associate with Trent's exorcism, who's on Kaios' side to have an exchange. Besides, he yelled at a certain aristocratic mistress at Kaios at a prom the other day. He said he was a Vixel nobleman and Alexia was there, so he would be involved with Alexia. But more than the truth, there are widespread rumours that Kaios worked more disrespectful than his position against the noble lady. So you're calling for all kinds of speculation, and you're not trying to get too close to Kaios."

"The aristocrats don't know much about Kaios."

Havok nodded at Cornelia's words, which were somewhat calm.

"That's the thing. I get the impression that he's a mysterious person anyway if he finds out about Kaios just because of the weather. You know better around here, don't you?

"Sort of. The rumor that he's passing on runs out of strange words. When the crisis in the country abruptly appeared and resolved lightly, leaving. Rescue the princess who was driven into distress. Make a pact with the mythical era dragon. There is no way to ask for consideration after all that has been done. There's no such thing as a country as a passing adventurer. Brave and resolute. Clean and clean. You're such a hero of stories. You sound like you're lying."

From the perspective of the Adventurer Alliance staff, Kaios' actions go beyond the framework of goodwill. If you're an adventurer, it's natural to get paid for your quest. Especially the quest for a demon crusade should be adequately rewarded as a life-threatening consideration.

However, the Alliance staff was not as simple as honestly accepting Kaios' flair for not needing such a reward and for not knowing why he was doing all the superficial justice.

"Don't feel bad about it. If someone is out of line, it makes me feel frigid. If they were in the aristocracy, they'd think there was something behind it."

"If you have a visible ambition, you can understand his behavioral principles. If I don't know that, I think there's something behind it. But I don't have much information about him even if I look into him. Even we wouldn't know everything about him. Do you guys know where and what he's doing when he doesn't show up?

Kaios has a blank time that no one knows about. Especially during the night. Nobody knows how he spends the meantime.

"Humans are unconscious and wary of the unknown. It's creepy to be incomprehensible. If you give extreme examples, so will the demons who behave only disturbingly yesterday. I don't know what you're thinking, and I don't know what action you're going to take. I feel the creeps in Kaios, and the nobles are in danger."

I'm not convinced of everything, but I can't deny Havok's words. They were silent.

Where Havok's story separates him, Cornelia finally pinches his mouth.

"So if we're going to get rid of this quickly, why don't we let the nobles figure out what character Kaios is?

"Don't be. But that would be difficult, too. Kaios has a shallow connection to the nobility of the Kingdom of Castal. Anyway, we're the closest people in the relationship, Master Roslyne, Alexia. Master Rosline is difficult to hear in his position because he is a royal of another country. Alexia would be easier to talk to than Roslyne, but I don't know if I'd be biased if I saw her admiring Caios that far anyway. It's out of the question because we have no connection to the nobles. Is it Master Oliver who's in a close relationship? The Knights of the Kingdom of Castall is friendly but not so deeply amicable. It would be nice if the Knights Commander could treat me like one."

"I wonder about that. It's not necessarily a good idea for a nobleman to understand the nature of Kaios. It's only someone else who decides how to rate him. I think whether he's a good person or not is just one element of the book. For example, Lady Rafael, the Knights Commander, may not even be in conflict with nobility, but he is smoked."

Alliance officials expose the insistence of the Knights Commander and nobility.

"You're lying, you sound like a knight captain, right? You look like you're in a heavy position to defend your country, right? Why would that happen?

"He was originally a low-profile among the aristocrats, and he had a terrible temper around him. In the meantime, they were pursuing the responsibility for the damage done to me by the nobles. [M] While I was on hold for the disposition, there was a vampire commotion in the commune."

"If you say so, the nobles of the Commune have asked the Kingdom of Castal for help."

"Oh, so they sent crusaders or not and they did a lot of it. The army had lost its soldiers in the battle ahead. But at the king's discretion, the march was decided, and Lady Rafael was chosen as commander of the reinforcements."

"Nobles don't disagree. Do you?

"Of course there was opposition. He disappeared in no time. In the face of the question of who will take command instead of Master Rafael. It's an important role. Every faction seems to have taken advantage of it."

Cornelia said, turning her face bright red.

"I'm not stupid! I can't believe I can do that when things happen."

"Well that's ridiculous. Yeah, I didn't think it was going to be decided, so he ended up calming down because Lady Rafael cleared up the last stigma without being able to find the right one. So we cleared up the stigma and stayed in office with that credit. The nobles who have always defended Lafael are as noble as those involved in the Knights."

Listening to the story, Liam and the others were relieved.

"The one who really is our noble... I'm just ashamed of my hometown. I'd like to make you drink even the dirt from Roseline and the noble claws of the Commune."

"I can't even speak anymore."

Cornelia and the others synchronize to Liam's grumpy, mixed sigh. It's not that I don't know what it's like to be jealous, but nobles also want to think that wearing difficulty is a routine tea meal.

When they were in the royal palace of the Commune, they were seeing Rosline, who was vigorously in government every day, and the nobles of the Commune, who worked as civilians, albeit in a low capacity. Of course, we have heard of the conspiracy against Caios from Roslyne, and we know that the nobility of the Commune is a good place to be clean and innocent. But that's not all I know. I know I'm doing my part.

In contrast, the impression that the nobles of Castal are only fighting over power as far as they can hear comes to mind. I'm sure some of them are well-informed nobles, but they've never been in contact with a Castal nobleman immediately. No one makes a good impression if it's just hearsay. I was deeply disappointed in the appearance of the nobility of Castal.

"I don't have any pessimism. Conversely, noblemen would not interfere with it if they didn't stick their necks in it. Until the signing ceremony is over. Instead, I'd appreciate it if you ended up in a relationship like this."

If the signing ceremony continues safely, we have no choice but to return to the Commune. Then perhaps it would have been better to wait for a time without actively interacting than to make an effort to share with the aristocracy and get into trouble.

"When I'm with Kaios, I get caught up in a case. In a moment, there might be another case."

"Don't tell me you're not even connected, Baccariaam"

Liam meant to make a joke, but somehow they have a past where they have encountered every single incident involving Kaios. It's like every event can't be experienced by a co-adventurer. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen between the signing ceremonies? There was no one but Alliance officials who could joke and laugh at that.

The night club at the Royal Palace was also over and when he fell asleep, heavy rain came out in Maukt with thunder.

There is no change in security everywhere in case of rain. Especially in front of the VIP room, there was always a guard, and there was no loophole in the security.

However -.

A different sound than thunder tore apart the silence of late at night.

Someone's screaming. When the guard realizes it, he enters the room where he heard a scream.

There were two people in the room. The guard was dark in the room and not well visible, but one was lying on the ground and the other was standing beside him.

The lightning plunges through the window and illuminates the room. And the guard witnessed who the person was.

The fallen man is already out.

And beside the man...

He was a brunette boy wearing a black robe that melted in the dark.
