The demon would never let anyone leave this town again.

“No! I am!”
One of the women who tried to escape from the undead Jean suddenly started attacking the people around her with blood spilling from her face. It wasn’t just that woman. Dozens of people, just by looking at them, turned into bloody corpses and began to attack those who were “running away”.
“Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go!”
“…”
Jean blocked the way to go there.
Does he have feelings even though he had become undead, or was it worth it for him to suffer because he made a contract with the devil?
I prepared myself for that moment. I expect the worst…
“–Please!”
Despite his words, Jean brandished the great sword not at me but at Collete.
I instantly let my emotions sink to the depths of my heart, slashing with my knife to block Jean’s line of sight, and piercing the undead’s vital point, the magic stone in the heart, with my black dagger.
“–This is it.”
“Jean….”
Jean, now just a corpse, rolled over, and Collete gasped shakily at the cursed appearance of that Someone who had called his name for the last time.
“Collete, please tell people who are still in their right mind to never leave their house.”
“…”
Collete looked at me in horror as I gave my instructions nonchalantly, then cutting off the heads of Jean and the surrounding undead.
“Go quickly.”
“…Yes.”
I was used to such looks, so I didn’t have to think about it now. All I could do was kill them, not save them.
But before Collete could start moving, I saw several figures approaching from across the street. Humans with weapons…but they were not our allies. Coming toward them were adventurers who had turned into bloody corpses.
“Cara…!”
At the sound of Collete’s trembling voice, Cara, with earthy skin and black blood pouring from her face, extended her bloody hand.
“–We…saved you…we made a pact…we’re going to be together…”
“No, Cara.”
I wondered if Cara was still conscious, and upon hearing her words, Collete covered her ears with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
When I heard her cry, I understood the negative emotion contained in the “”promise”.
Collete was a magician with two attributes, which was rare among commoners, and the overprotectiveness I felt from Cara toward Collete and the behavior of looking down towards me were all due to Cara’s “jealousy” towards Collete.
The reason why this town rejected people from the outside, not because it was closed, but because of “jealousy” toward those who could venture out from this closed place.
The demon took advantage of this feeling. A contract with the demon required a “wish” and a “price. Even though the price was the lives of those promised, I did not understand the wish, but I finally understood.
The “wish” of the dreamers was that no one would escape from this place from the beginning.
Collete looked at the adventurers and Cara, who were coming toward us with tears of blood, and turned to me pleadingly.
“Please, save Cara! She’s my friend!”
“…”
Collete turned her tear-stained eyes to me, as if she knew it was a corpse but couldn’t emotionally comprehend it.
Gashan!
With the sound of something being destroyed, I heard the screams of the inhabitants from far away.
Perhaps there were people in the building who had seen the dream. The undead, who saw them, started to attack the inhabitants – the living family members who were trying to escape.
“…”
I let my emotions sink to the back of my mind and quietly narrowed my eyes.
“…I’m going to save them.”
“…What?”
Collete raised her tear-stained face at the murmur I let out, and I took a large step toward Cara and the others who were approaching us…
“This is it…”
Stepping over the distance of several meters instantly, my knife sliced Cara’s neck with a single blow.
“Cara!!!”
A shrill scream echoed from Collete who saw it.
From the beginning, all I could do was this…
“…I’ll kill everyone and save them from their nightmare.”
