I heard a scream and noticed an undead that was attacking someone, I immediately went towards it and slashed the undead in the neck halfway from behind.
“—-“
The receptionist of the Adventurer’s Guild, whose neck had been ripped open, tears of blood streaming down her murky eyes, slashes away with her knife as if to shake off the outstretched hand, and stabs her dagger into the magic stone in her heart to finish her off.
“Noaaaah!”
I turned toward the voice and saw a bloody corpse that looked like a civilian attacking a child.
While running through the area at three times the speed of a normal person with his physical enhancements fully opened, he drew his weapon and decapitated the corpses of the attacking adventurers, and pierced the heart of the corpse that had attacked the child with a dagger from the back.
“–Don’t cry…”
A girl of about ten years old appears on the other side of the crumpled corpse with these words, staring in horror at the scene. …Probably her mother. Realizing that I was the one who killed my mother, she reflected my expressionless face in her eyes as she glared at me.
“Go back to your house.”
“…”
The girl didn’t even nod at my words, only understanding, she ran into a nearby house, gritting her teeth.
It doesn’t matter if you hate me…live for now. Her eyes reminded me of my own reflection in the water where I had just lost my parents.
But…it still doesn’t change what I do.
I swing the slashing pendulum with its threads stretched to their fullest, as if to swirl it around. The slashing pendulum is a weapon that “slashes” with centrifugal force, but if it is maximized, the slash becomes an “axe.
“-Go!”
Zash!
The neck of the adventurer who had been watching Jean and the others with cold eyes was sliced off with a single blow.
A heavy pendulum, also with its strings extended to increase its centrifugal force, swings down and crushes the head of a middle-aged man who was about to attack someone, sending it flying off.
The two pendulums are used to clear the undead in the vicinity, and the undead that were in proximity are intercepted with knives and daggers. There–!
HUNG!
“… — Abandoning me…”
“…”
Colette’s companion, the hunter Slay, fired an arrow. His shaking, cloudy eyes were filled with regret or hatred… but he still sold his soul to the devil out of “jealousy” toward Colette.
“Gah”
“You have run away from the truth… You are the ones who ran away from the truth.”
I quickly shot back, and my silver arrow pierced Slay’s right eye, clearing away the miasma, and Slay collapsed as a mute corpse.
“…Aria-san.”
After eradicating the surrounding undead, I was approached by Colette, who slumped to the ground and held Cara’s bloody head in her arms.
“Why…why could you kill them without hesitation to that extent!”
Colette looked around as if pointing at something, and there were several eyes of mixed fear and hatred staring at me from the windows of the surrounding houses. Among them was the girl. Colette looked at me with those same eyes and added a few more words.
“Why are you so unconcerned! Why don’t you just run away without killing me!”
“…”
I see, so this is the demon’s trick.
Normal people cannot kill what used to be a person, even if they attack someone. He makes them aware of the gaze of others, incites a sense of guilt, and nips the bud of resistance in the bud. It corrupts people and cages them.
It is because he is a demon who knows humans well that he can take such methods.
But–
“So… I am here…”
I am there in place of those who cannot fight. Then I turned my gaze, which was not even quietly Intimidation, and those who were looking at me looked away from themselves.
“If you want to die, I won’t stop you. I am there to defeat the enemy. If you stand in the way of that, whoever you are, you are my enemy.”
