"Meliá? Who told you that name?

Men who move to pinch me with their swords without hesitation. I put my hands on the sheath of the sword in the robe so that I could deal with them while holding them at the edge of my vision.

"She's my sister. Isn't it strange to know?

The moment I said it, the men just jumped in without asking questions. I don't feel a shred of hesitation. I mean it. It is an act of treating me completely as an adversary. An unparalleled step and speed of knights. Ordinary human beings die without knowing why, and even a skilled warrior is inevitably wounded. However, after completing my training, I didn't feel threatened enough.

"What!?

"What!?

The men's swords were evaded by me at a distance of just a few centimeters. It may be a coincidence once or twice, but if you avoid it the same way over and over again, you would have felt the difference in strength. The men shouted impatiently.

Enemy! Enemy! You guys, get out!

For a moment, several men jumped out of the hut in response to the scream. Five in all. Together with the two people who were already at war, there are a total of seven, and the Knights can form platoons. In addition to that, their strength. Being here alone does not seem to be their full power, and considering that there are multiple incubators, it would be quite a surprise for this country.

If they were enemies, they would be relentless and not ask who they were, and they had repeatedly sworn a special sword. I wanted to capture Mary as intact as possible and find out where she is, but I don't think she can afford a boulder like that.

I can't help it.

When I jumped up the robe and threw out the sword, I jumped up with their swords close to my eyes.

"No way!?

"Stupid!

They must have had a lot of confidence in their abilities. The men's faces were distorted in astonishment. Don't miss that gap, I'll knock sword blows into men's bodies.

"Huh!?

Ha!

Speaking of the belly of a sword, there is no such thing as a human being who is vigorously beaten with iron nuggets. One nodded with a stomach, one was hit by a foot and was incapacitated, and the other broke a bone in his dominant arm, or dropped his sword and retreated big behind him.

"Don't be alarmed! She's strong!

Objectively speaking, there is no chance of winning. But they didn't give up. The city's Gorotsuki will have already abandoned their weapons and fled, and even a decent army will be able to pull back. That said, there was no lethality in their eyes.

"... please surrender. You can't beat me."

If you believe me, they're trying to cause a massive disturbance in this country, but they're not doing anything at the moment. We should still be able to convince them or catch them before they commit serious crimes.

(If they believe they have been abandoned like Melia, it is not their responsibility alone. Because we also have a cause. We can still make it now. Please stop wasting resistance...)

Such a wish was futile, and my feelings didn't seem to go through with them. They stood up in a cage of lethality, hiding their injured bodies, and they tore their clothes at once.

Their exposed bodies... were embedded with jewels about the size of a human fist at their center. It sounded like a heart, and then intuitively made me feel dangerous.

"Is that...!?

"Sometimes a boulder just calls you a brave man. I can't believe we can't even stand our teeth right now... But how about this...?

The men's bodies - to be precise, the jewels embedded in their chests emitted light, and at the same time, the mood swelled up all at once.

"This is... no way!

There are only monsters and demon tribes in the world, such as the existence that releases energy. That's what empowered them! Surprisingly, I had a smile that one of the men was proud of.

"Have you noticed? Yes, this is the power given to us by the Demons. Thanks to this power, we can avenge you!

Some ecstatic men proudly turned their chests with jewels embedded to show their strength. In contrast to that jewel, which emits evil waves, they rejoice innocently, as if they were children. Scared of the drop, I tried my last persuasion.

"Don't be ridiculous! The Demons will not give you anything unconditionally! Their aim is to destroy the people. No matter how powerful you are, all you need is to dispose of the tools you no longer need!?

"I know a hundred of them!

They smiled darkly at me with an unexpected response.

"We're not stupid either. I know. I can't believe they're using us. It was only by chance that the demons reached out to us, who had been abandoned by everyone and driven away from this world. We were hunted to death. If you help me, I'll be on everyone's side."

"You won't understand. Brave Flair, how we feel about being bullied."

"We don't spare our lives. I just want to remind you. That we existed in a world that abandoned us!

Oh, my God... They're going to die from the start. Those who are prepared to die and act will not receive my words. Perhaps if Merliah is moving with the same motive, it doesn't matter when she throws her life away like them. Even though she seems to be able to see me again, will I lose her again...? I was about to fall off my knees in the reality that it was going to be dark in front of me.
