A flood of demons that occurred near the village of Dayton.

The cause has not yet been determined, but there is no doubt that demons are approaching Alistair.

So the Adventurer Guild decided to issue a compulsory request.

If a compulsory request is made, adventurers based in that city may not refuse it. I must definitely participate.

The demons you deal with are so quantitative that even high-ranking adventurers are in danger of life.

It is possible to refuse a compulsory request, but in that case the majority are to be crusaded by the hands of the adventurer by surrendering themselves to bandits because they will no longer be able to act as adventurers and will also lose their social credibility.

All the risks don't raise the morale of adventurers either.

So, the reward was also to be played. You get paid just to crusade. Yeah, the stronger the opponent, the higher the amount. More crusaded demons have ownership over crusaded adventurers.

Low-ranked adventurers who are not part of the Demon Crusade were invited to participate in the collection of demons. Recovery of material, for some reason, but more than that, leaving the demon body unattended attracted by the smell of blood to call in other demons, which also meant preventing the battlefield from becoming chaotic.

"Bad, missed"

Heath, an A-rank adventurer who wounded himself all over his body when he came to a place with a gate, was returning supported by his companions.

"What happened?

"I got hit by a hippogriff."

"Oh, but..."

Look behind Mr. Heath.

His party is bringing in young people who have decided they have sights and raising the next generation of strong people throughout the actual battle. If you ask me, I'm like a disciple.

Two of them were carrying hippoglyphs as they pulled over.

It's impeccable material with little damage.

However, the fact that there are hippoglyphs' bodies thus means that they have been successfully crusaded.

Exactly. Hippogriff crusades are difficult in the disciples.

"Oh, you're the hippogriff I strangled."

"Strangled!?

He continued to aim for the moment when he jumped from behind to his neck while fighting with Hippogriff, and seemed to crusade by compressing his neck the moment he had a gap.

A rough way to crusade for a long time, but I succeeded in getting a hippogriff in that worthwhile and beautiful condition.

But shortly after that, the crisis came.

"There's another hippogriff coming at me."

You sensed your buddy was hit. Hippogriff attacked Mr. Heath, who was distracted.

The ambush wounded me.

Still, it would be something like an A-rank adventurer's eye-catching because he succeeded in crusading his second hippogriff with even more damage.

"This guy could have crusaded beautifully. I was forced to carry it to prevent it from being vandalized by other demons."

If I leave it on the spot, it will be devoured like food.

If you bring it back to Alistair this way, you won't be vandalized either.

"So you threw away the second hippogriff because it was rough."

Rough attacks became central because they made crusading a priority.

As a result of comparing the effort taken back to the crusade reward, he chose to throw it away on the spot. Compensation was also important, but safety was made a priority because he was an adventurer who was constantly in danger of his life. In fact, interception is difficult with injuries.

"However, if I could, I would have liked the hippogriff to end properly."

I found my buddy's body and mad hippogriff.

More death fights have left Mr. Heath and his family smelling on the spot. A demon wouldn't be hard to follow.

"You won't have a choice. I couldn't afford it."

"But there's a villager on this spot who's been evacuated. And I didn't want you to do anything that would put Alistair at risk."

Look at the training ground with the villagers.

The training ground is left open so if you want to see what's going on outside, you can see the demons.

"Hih!"

"Again, demons!

"We need to get somewhere...!

Demons are not uncommon on the border.

But the fact that many of my acquaintances have been killed in a short time has made my fear too great.

Bring demons to places where there are many such people.

I can't help being told it's insane.

"Then it won't be a problem... because I have you"

Niya, and Mr. Heath with a grin.

That's when a hippogriff popped out of the woods. It won't take that long to get here because of the considerable speed.

"Let me take a look at your arrangement."

What Mr. Heath wants to see is how beautifully I can finish the first hippogriff.

The prettier the demonic material, the more expensive it can be sold.

The better the condition, the better the quality of the weapons and tools used as materials. If we could get the whole body with even fewer scratches, it would be stripped and the aristocracy would be traded at a high price. If a demon is as strong as a hippogriff, the price jumps.

"Well, what shall we do?"

I'd like to personally try.

When I intercepted near Dayton Village, I didn't know as much about the use of power as I thought because I had been a labyrinth lord for a few months, making crusading a priority.

I want to crusade in the prettiest possible condition.

"Yeah. Let's stop the heart"

"No, what are you talking about..."

Mr. Heath says something nearby but flushes it appropriately.

That's just dangerous, so Sierra deposits it with Ira.

"Shall I kill you?

"That would be two things."

Keep the scratches to a minimum.

If you leave it to Ira, you'll be able to crusade without causing damage, but as for the material, it gets worse.

Point your finger at the impending hippogriff.

Shortly after, the electric shock was bated at my fingertips! and blow up.

And three seconds later - the hippogriff fell.

"All right!"

I accidentally hold my fist for doing better than I expected.

I think it's the prettiest crusade I've ever had.

"Hey, what did you do!?

It didn't seem to show in Mr. Heath's eyes what he had done.

As far as the other adventurers go, they don't even realize I did something.

"You should take a look"

Adventurers approaching the dreaded hippogriff.

……

"How did you crusade it?

But checking the state of the hippogriff doesn't tell the cause that led to death.

"Right here."

Remove the hair that was covering my chest as I said it.

There was a hole there earlier in the needle.

"No way......"

Mr. Heath is aware of what I've done.

"That's right. I condensed the electric shock to about this size and let it eject. It was very difficult to stabilize the needle when it was just about the size of a needle."

It's an attack that was possible because it was an electric shock created by labyrinth magic.

It's more overwhelming that if you normally tried to activate similar magic, it would have just ended up erupting without stability and spreading electric shocks all around you.

Hippogriff, who was electrocuted by the heart, stopped the heart because the trauma itself had been subjected to a small but powerful electric shock.

"You'll be able to buy this high."

"Indeed... the wound is about as small as a needle, and only about as small as the wound left when we pulled out the demon stone from each other"

It is impossible not to take out demonic stones that are traded at the highest price, either when stripping or among demonic materials. You'll have enough holes to stick your hands in.

Mr. Heath was convinced that it was a draw to set up the battle on his own.

Most importantly, in my case, I'm going to have the demon stone recovered without scratching it [through the wall]. So, the scratches are minimized.

"I'm sorry that I'm happy, but what do you do over there?

"Over there?"

Point to the back of the woods.

Still only about the size of a dot, but a new demon flying in the sky was approaching.

"Gru!"

I could hear the chirping from afar.

I am clearly angry that they defeated my people.
