"Oh, is that the King's City?

I saw the city in the distance.

Compared to the kingdom capital of the previous country, the height of the walls and the size of the city are considerably smaller, but they still seem to be the most prosperous of all I've seen since entering the country.

After the mysterious woman attacked me suddenly in the hot springs, I managed to get new clothes.

Then he continued walking slowly, and came to the kingdom-like place of the land.

"... hmm? And there's nobody here at all, right?

Approaching King's Landing, but not as popular as the streets.

Nothing happened and I came to the gate.

"The gate is open....."

The gates are open, but no one comes in or out.

There were no guards and they were supposed to be rigorously checked for admission, but they were able to walk straight through.

"... can I come in?

It's already in there.

The city was quiet as ruins.

I still don't see a single child, but I still have a strong sense of life everywhere.

It's as if the people of the city had taken an emergency shelter somewhere.

"What, this feeling... maybe, undead?

I stopped when I saw the signs of my clan.

"More from the middle of town."

Could it be the remnant of the Death Magician?

I didn't want to be an undead like that muscular woman again, but I went deeper into the city relying on my senses.

Eventually we arrive at the square.

The circle is spacious and there are no people there at all.

But there was something like a cage in the middle.

"Something's stupid in the cage... someone...? No...."

The source of the sign of undead was precisely the cage.

As they approached, a large number of undead zombies were trapped in the cage.

Uh-uh

"" "Ahhhhhh..." "

Zombies moaning.

They, also known as rotten corpses, left a human form, but as their name suggests, their bodies were rotten everywhere, or parts of their bodies were missing, flesh was broken, and bones were visible.

Of course, it smells bad.

Because it is the same undead, is it resistant or does it smell bad?

"I don't know who did this, but it's such a bad hobby... okay, fireball"

I felt pitiful about these zombies trapped like a spectacle, and I decided to intercede immediately.

A fierce flame envelopes the cage and burns the rotten bodies of the zombies.

"All right, we're clear."

My fireball has the power not only to burn meat, but also to purify its soul.

"Now!

Suddenly I thought I heard such a scream, and people popped out of the shadow of a building that had never been seen before.

Wearing a wizard robe and holding a wand, they sang in unison.

"Multicasting Ceremony" Multichant - Prison Boundary "Prison Barrier"

Then a huge magical formation appeared at my feet.

Apparently, it was prepared in advance, and magic was already active in the next moment.

Like blocking the sky with me, something like a pale membrane is covering your head.

Eventually, the hemispherically unfolded boundaries trapped me completely.

It was the Knights of the Holy Knight who showed up against me the other day.

Some of them are holy knight girls.

Maybe you've been chasing me all this way...?

What obsession.

But they stop before they come to me.

Except for one.

Long time no see.

"Eh...."

It was a familiar woman.

The woman who suddenly attacked when she was in the hot spring.

I am not naked now, I am properly wrapped in armor.

It's the same concept as the Holy Knight Girls, but it looked somewhat superior to it.

"I'm really glad you caught our trap."

While telling her so, she slips through the boundary and enters.

……

I retreated silently.

Well, what do we do?

I can't believe this woman is approaching by herself...

If I were a middle-aged man who was easy to talk to, I might have managed to squeeze my courage and bring it into the conversation.

But hate and women are bad at it.

Now we're dressing each other properly, but that doesn't mean we can talk.

Besides, I couldn't even see her straight from the hot spring.

... okay, let's run.

I came to that conclusion at once.

Turn your heels back and run.

What?

But shortly afterwards, I crashed into something and poked my buttocks.

That's right... the boundaries just unfolded are blocking the way.

"More than twenty mariners. In addition, it is the strongest boundary that has been activated using rare magic stones sparingly. It's not easy to escape."

Is that so...?

If so, I'm in a state where I'm alone with a woman and locked up in a secret room.

We have no choice but to fight.

But if I hit you, you feel like you can break it easily...?

That's what I thought, when I tried to punch my fist.

"I see... it looks like Rimul was right. You don't want to hurt people."

……

Yes, it is.

I don't feel that way at all.

I just want to die.

"But... that's why I can't allow it to exist."

She told her clearly.

"Abominable undead - no life king. As Commander of the Knights of Albert, I will now purify you!

Captain of the Knights?

Such a young woman...?

No, the young commander's seat is proof that he is so blessed with talent.

Maybe we can expect it this time - no.

That reminds me of the other day.

I was attacked several times, but it didn't work at all.

I don't think you'll be able to purify me in a short time.

"... then, I can't expect it..."

With a sigh, such words came out of my mouth unexpectedly.

Did you hear that? The captain looked nauseous.

"Hmm... you seem to be taking a pretty sweet look at me... But this Sword Albert, who came from the name of my Knights, cannot be cleansed of any undead."

No, that sword, the one who slashed me in that hot spring, right?

The sword had a strange light, and I certainly felt a little tingling pain, but that was all.

"Fufu, if you think that's all the power of this sword, it's a big mistake. That, after all, is because of my own faith. But today - there are many comfortable allies."

"Hmm!?

Soon there were countless crowds around the square.

I'm sure the inhabitants of this city were hiding.

But I don't really think they can fight.

"Come on, everybody! Pray to God!

When urged to do so, they put their hands together in front of their heads and offered their prayers with a serious face.

Strangely enough, the sword sword held by the female captain began to shine brilliantly.

Pushing it up, she said.

"This is the power of the Sword Albert! Converting believers' beliefs into power makes them the most powerful sword to destroy any evil!

Oh, that's right!

Hope is rising again.

I wait with my arms wide open so that she can come at me at any time.

"Hmm... I see, you're still confident about this. Very well. Pass on to the afterlife, overconfident in your absolute power!
