"Y-You 're just......?"

Suddenly I heard a high scream.

In light of the current situation, this is...!

When I close my eyes with Ann, I leave the Adventurer's Guild in a hurry. I could leave Daria behind, but I couldn't care less right now.

"I-It's...!"

The port city of Pauge was plunged into a tragedy of its imagination.

"No, don't, don't! Why are you guys doing this...!"

"Kehehehehehehehehehehe..."

That's right.

What an adventurer in this town is about to attack a woman. With an irrational expression, she pointed the tip of her sword at a woman.

That's not all.

Adventurers are rioting everywhere in town.

Those who attack the residents, those who are trying to destroy buildings, or those who are trying to set fire to them.....

The harbor town of Pauge, which was supposed to be peaceful until a while ago, was truly a drawing of hell.

What was even more terrifying was that even the demonic beast appeared here. Yesterday, the demonic beasts that appeared in the old schoolhouse pauge - together with the adventurers, they were destroying the city.

- Hell.

What do you call this sight without calling it that?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I was speeding, being attacked in front of me.

I went out to help a woman.

Attack the irrational adventurer using the [Lesser Attack] of [Cheat Code Operation]. Medium Attack Up I didn't do it because if I didn't do it well, I might get killed.

"Knock...!"

As I aimed, the adventurer was stunned with his eyes wide open. This won't get you moving for a while.

"Ah....."

The woman who had been wearing the rice cake before opened her eyes wide.

"Ah... thank you, Commodore Arios...!"

"No, no...! It's dangerous here." You must evacuate immediately...! "

"Yes...! Thank you very much."

The woman bowed deeply and ran straight into the neighboring building. With adventurers rampaging all over the town, there's no safe place to go... but for now, it's safe.

"Hey, what the hell are you guys...?"

Daria, who showed up late, stood dumbfounded as she saw what was happening in the city.

"Huh...? What is this...? What do you mean...?"

"Ahh... this must have been the prospectus of the [enemy]..."

"Because the enemy......?"

That's right.

All the adventurers who were rampaging all over the town were clearly in a strange state.

Wearing an aura of lacquer and black, the madman who raged with an unknown mystery was reminiscent of former foams and rafters.

It would be reasonable to judge that the shadow stones are eroding the mind.

”And you're the one who set this up...”

Saying that, I look back. [M]

A mysterious swordsman wearing a silver armor and an overwhelming style.

A mysterious swordsman who was overwhelmingly strong against us in the old school building.

I don't know how he's involved in the case, but as soon as we got here, it seemed like he was moving behind us.

"Is that what you're after...?" Swordsman F...... No, the former Sword Saint, Leon Makba! "

"Eh......?"

Ann opened her eyes wide to my remarks.

"Fufufu..."

The swordsman said with an extra smile.

I removed the silver helmet and exposed its appearance to us. [M]

"Did you notice?" Speaking of which, my son (...) "

Leon Makba himself was the face he didn't want to see.



On the other hand, around that time, in the vicinity of the village of Rastar.

"Alright... I wonder if this is the case."

A-rank adventurer Kaya Rootis put her sword in a sheath and took a breath.

There were a few monsters that I had never seen before.

Even Kaya, an A-rank adventurer, was an extremely unusual monster.

"I managed to defeat it... but it was kind of weird..."

What should I say?

Like the Giant Orcs and the Arceus Salvation Party, which were once relative, I feel that they boasted a strength that was not in the world. It's as if I was using that shadow stone.....

"I can't believe it..."

"Did the alien's hand come this far...?"

I hate to think so, but I think we should be more vigilant.

"Arios-san...."

That's right.

That's the only thing we can do for him.

Whatever it is, the request is complete. If we report the situation to Altro, the Guildmaster, we can settle one matter this time.

Judging by that, I tried to return to Rastar Village - at that moment.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Kaya opened her eyes wide at the screams she suddenly heard.

What the hell is that now?

And for some reason, I can feel the disturbing signs from the village...! "

"Ugh...!"

Kaya ran to the village of Rustal.

And the sight she saw was... unbelievable.

"Belze! Mooma! Everyone... what are they doing!"

That's right.

The adventurers, who were supposed to protect Rastall Village, changed their colors and were all over the place.

Those who use violence against the inhabitants, those who are trying to destroy the buildings.....

There was a wide variety of actions, but from the state of each adventurer, Kaya gave one answer.

"Shadowstone...... It's the work of otherworldly people......"

There are two things that seem to be irrational, suspicious words and deeds, exactly like the Arceus Salvation Party. The adventurers in Rastar Village were taken over by aliens......

Kaya! Are you okay?

Altro, the guildmaster, called out to me.

Looks like he was safe. Unlike the adventurers around him, his appearance remained normal.

"Good. Is your master safe?" I'm glad...! "

"Ah, Altro-san! What the hell is this...?"

"I don't know... suddenly everyone's going crazy." Except for that one... he's not in a normal state of consciousness. "

Is that...?

When I was told to turn my gaze to you, a familiar C-ranked adventurer was fighting a deadly battle. It's not strong enough, but it protects its inhabitants from alien monsters.

"Lassen...! She was safe, too...!"

When Arios first visited the village of Rastal, he was sold to Arios for a quarrel, and he was left in a rut. That was the trigger for a strange transformation, and now I worship Arios like a god.

"I see... that's what I mean...!"

Kaya, Altro, and Lassen.

In the village of Rastar, only those with close ties to Arios maintained a normal consciousness.

On the contrary, those who were not associated with Arios, such as Belze and Mooma, have been taken over.

There is still one answer that emerges from these situations -!

"Mr. Altro, you're right. This must be the work of... people from other worlds."

"Otherworldly people...?"

Altro twitched his eyebrows and sighed in relief.

"I see, I see..." Those guys..... "

"Yes. When Arios-san touches it, the [Shadowstone] effect disappears... thanks to its power, we must have managed to be safe."

"Fufu... I'm surprised. I didn't know he could help me in this place."

Arios' departure from the village was simply a great loss to the village.

Still, he is protecting us here.

Then...!

"Mr. Altro, we must defend this place by all means." When he comes back someday, I can smile and greet him with a smile...! "

"Oh! I'll leave it to you!"

With a mighty reply, Altro gently rolled his axe.

"The blood of a warrior called [Altro of the Great Body]... I'll show you now!"



"Shit... I can't forgive you, Arios..."

"Are you still saying that?" Come on, calm down. "

Meanwhile, at that time, in the capital of King Arceus.

B-ranked adventurer Yuya Argentine has been drinking during the day.

Eugénie Garr - A man who once disgraced Arios when the White Wolf appeared around the capital.

After all, I remember that after Arios discovered the Arceus Salvation Party, Eugène's achievements were not seen.

Do you still have it in your roots? This guy always shouts "Arios bastard" and "Arios bastard".

Even though Arios has become an associate marshal and is admired by all the people.....

Still, Eugés doesn't want to admit him.

"I don't want to admit it, and so do you!" I didn't hear you get promoted to rank A anytime soon...! "

Don't, don't.

It was shameful to scatter the jock as he slammed it against the table.

Yuya replied unexpectedly with a frown on her face.

"And... I guess I can't help it." I just heard about it recently, too.

"Damn it...! Always this guy...!" Hiccup! "

"...... haa"

Honestly, I'm sorry I had to go out with you.

When I was invited, it looked strange, and I said "I have a consultation", so I let out OK, but... after all, it was only a stupid competition.

"Well, I'm sorry, but I'm going to be rude here." I'll give you the money. "

"Hey Yuya! You're kidding, we're not finished yet!"

"Hey... what more are you talking about..."

Yuya grabbed her right arm and sighed.

I can't help it.

During the day, I'm going to go out with this foolishness tournament....

Thinking so, I tried to take a seat again - at that moment.

"Nu......!"

In the meantime, Yuya felt terrified of her body.

What? The sign of it is...

"Hey Yuya, what are you so puzzled about..."

"--No, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Loud screams echoed on the wipe, and Yuya shrugged her shoulders.

".........!"

Yuya and Yujesh are both B-rank adventurers, even though they are on a break.

The two of them rushed out at the same time as they looked at each other. Ujes was a little slowed by the booze.

"W-what the hell is this...!"

And when I left the tavern, an unbelievable sight spread out in front of me.

Somehow, adventurers with familiar faces were all over the place.

Attacking the inhabitants, destroying structures… There are many ways to act, but one thing is common to them.

"No way... is it a shadow stone...?"

That's right.

That loss of reason is consistent with the Arceus Salvation Party, which once exchanged swords. Besides, the lacquered and black aura floated on everyone, and it closely matched the characteristics of the [Shadow Stone].

Hey, what the hell is going on here?

"It's the work of aliens."... that's all I can think of. "

"Alien, hey, I can't believe it!"

That's right.

I don't understand the reason.

But he's fighting an unknown opponent - he's Arios Makba.

Then... this is the only way to risk your life...!

"Noooooo! Help me, someone!"

"Na......"

At that time, the expression on Yuya's face was unforgettable for life.

Yeah, I...

The woman who screamed just now was Eugène's sister.....

Because her sister was surrounded by several A-rank adventurers.

Whoaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Eugés screamed and ran for his sister.
