Hopkins trapped in the ice while he lay down depressed.

However, the ice that had been trapped entered and shattered from the inside.

"Ko, you bastard......!

My whole body is flabby because I was forced to crush the ice from the inside out.

Still, Hopkins had gained enough toughness to stand up with the Devil's Sword in his hand.

And when I closed my eyes and concentrated my consciousness, my muscles raised and blocked my wound.

"That's the Devil's Sword. It's amazing."

The end of the Devil's Sword is directed toward Ira.

"Crush Temehe et al."

"... you don't like what we've been so vain about?

"Naturally. I can't tell my men I'm being ridiculed by a woman. I tried to dive into the labyrinth for as many weapons as I could defeat Temehe and the others, but I was lucky enough to get the Devil's Sword."

I don't know what drives Hopkins that far, but he dived into the labyrinth looking for a weapon that could take us down.

But I'm too lucky to have got the Devil's Sword right away.

"If it's about taking us down, you don't have to kill the others."

"Oh? You got in my way. That's what I deserve."

He doesn't really care.

"The exaltation when you have the Devil's Sword. And the strange skill of Temé's father attacking people one after the other."

Everyone's gaze mucks at the words.

Of course, that included Mr Marcella.

It is true that the Devil's Sword ruled me and went at people exalting me, but there is no way I could be flat out being told that way about a man I know or know.

- Kacha.

A small metal noise echoes.

"I'll kill all of Temehe and the others."

I'm not interested anymore.

"Am I?"

Ira turns her back on Hopkins.

"What are you going to do?

"You came with the Devil's Sword in your hand, just like my father, and then waved it as you wanted. If you say that the process is the same as your father's at first, it should end the same way again."

"... what are you talking about?

Hopkins frowns suspiciously.

At the next moment, Hopkins' torso splits up and down, and his uneven upper body falls to the ground.

"Crusade by the highly-ranked adventurers who happen to be in the city."

"- That's how it goes until we crusade Hopkins, who acquired the Devil's Sword."

After crusading Hopkins, he was visiting the Adventurer's Guild to make a report.

"You crusaded me so easily."

The person you are reporting to is the Alliance Master.

An adventurer who has long been an avant-garde in Palento, he has a background in becoming an Alliance Master after being told by the previous Alliance Master to succeed him in recognition of his achievements. I'm only proud of my combat skills, so I'm scarce when it comes to administrative skills, but trust from adventurers is thick just because I was an ex-high ranked adventurer.

He was also close to Ira's father, who was an adventurer for that reason, and when he was ruled by the Devil's Sword, he took the initiative to take command. The only thing I cared about was the remaining Ira, but there were many victims among the adventurers, and there was no way I could personally be the person in command when I thought about them.

I'm holding my head in a forged flesh listening to our report.

"Firstly, two guild officials were seriously injured in front of the labyrinth because they were slashed by the Devil's Sword. Next of the soldiers reported in front of the city gates, three have been seriously wounded and four have suffered minor injuries - one has died."

I've lost my word to more damage than I could have imagined.

"Plus the whole city alone is slaughtering and killing the people in front of us one after the other. Because of the lack of commonalities in the subject, it was determined that they really killed the people they saw one after another."

In fact, he was targeting revenge on us.

As for the victims, I guess it's just a simple reason because they really get in the way in achieving their goals.

"It doesn't make sense where I turned a few people to stop Hopkins. You crusaded me while I was investigating enough power to make sure I could stop you."

"What's the exact number of people?

"At least fifty. In fact, thanks to a mandatory request, we were able to quickly gather the required number of people."

Some adventurers go from pin to kiri.

Was it possible to crusade demon swordsmen with only fifty men collected?

"Who are you people?

I wanted to avoid crusading demon swordsmen because they would be noticed like this.

But there can be no choice not to help Mr. Marcella in that situation.

"Exploring the qualities of adventurers is a violation of manners, not to mention guild masters."

Some adventurers don't want others to know what skills they have. There are those who do not want the past to be explored because they can register as adventurers no matter what the circumstances are in the past.

For this reason, we are not looking for identity as an implicit understanding.

"Sorry, but I can't ignore the power you guys have as the side that mediates the request"

"Well, you don't have to mediate the request,"

The Adventurer Guild has information such as the characteristics and skills of the adventurer who registers the city as a base, and makes sure that those adventurers who possess exploratory skills are given priority in mediating requests that require the ability to collect and explore.

It was necessary to grasp the skills of the adventurer from that point of view.

However, the Alliance Master of the Alliance of Allister Adventurers, for whom we usually mediate requests, knows that I am the Lord of the Labyrinth. If you go back to Alistair, you'll be able to mediate the request, and you won't have to worry about leaking thanks to the fact that you're on a contract.

"Ma, wait...!

The Alliance Master stands up in a hurry as he tries to walk away.

"Something?

The only reason we're reporting on Hopkins is because of our good intentions as adventurers, and there's no obligation.

It shouldn't be a problem to finish properly and go home.

"There were three B-rank adventurers in this city."

As close as there is a labyrinth, there is no such thing as a dangerous demonic realm, so it was considered sufficient as a force of war.

"But an earlier commotion killed one man."

Some of them were chronic and Hopkins crushed them.

Even when confronted with Hopkins, he made a scattered fool of himself for being D-ranked, and he seems to have bought his opponent's anger.

"At present, the power gathered to crusade Hopkins the Devil's Sword has been dissolved. So apart from the compulsory request, a request was usually made to investigate whether there were any demon swords left in the labyrinth."

It appears that not only the Alliance but also the Lords of the City are chewing on this request, and a broken reward was to be offered.

"You want us to take that request, too?

The Alliance Master snorts at my words.

"This is absolutely necessary for the city's request. I want you to accept."

As the guild responsible for the safety of the city, there's no way that we won't check on the Devil's Sword to prevent any further damage.

However, there is no reason why we should send more people.

Even D-rank adventurers with little strength will gain as much strength as they can easily defeat B-rank adventurers by simply acquiring the Devil's Sword.

If there were a large number of demon swords, they would become untouchable.

"Of course I'll reward you"

More than asking us to take on a request, it should be a regular request, not a mandatory one.

Naturally, it's not cheap.

- You're dismissed.
