The Dwarf Republic.
Unlike the Human Kingdom, it was truly a land of gold with countless resources and technologies.
Naturally, it was inevitable that the demons would covet the Dwarf Republic.
Especially after being properly tricked by the Holy Kingdom, the demons couldn’t just sit back and watch the riffraff of the continent play their tricks.
So they decided to invade the Dwarf Republic.
However, it was too costly to push through with force.
With the barrier of the Holy Kingdom, demons above the True Demons couldn’t move properly within the barrier.
So instead, they decided to spread poison.
The slowly spreading poison would rot the Dwarf Republic from the inside, eventually leading to its self-destruction.
That was how they slowly but surely made the Dwarf Republic rot away.
Of course, there were those within the Dwarf Republic who sensed sothing suspicious.
But most could be dealt with easily.
Except for one, Viral Erald.
At the mont they could have dealt with him, he cleverly chose to flee the country.
And then he brought the Royal Knights all the way here?
At first, they were a bit flustered.
But it didn’t matter.
Because Ambassador Viral knew nothing.
Naturally, the Royal Knights wouldn’t be able to figure out anything either.
That’s what they thought.
Until they heard the commander’s words directly.
“Demons, huh.”
That single confident statent was enough to sow confusion.
How the hell did he know?
Ambassador Viral had never ntioned it.
How did he figure out it was the demons in that one mont?
At that mont, the commander’s eyes t mine.
I had no choice but to hurriedly avert my gaze in surprise.
I didn’t know why, but the current commander of the Royal Knights had definitely figured sothing out.
He must be killed imdiately.
I quickly ca to a conclusion.
If I were to do it, it had to be today, targeting now when they were in poor condition after the long and arduous journey.
And finally, the deep night shrouded the light of the republic.
I personally headed to the commander’s bedroom.
The other mbers weren’t a problem.
I would directly deal with the commander, the most noteworthy individual.
Perhaps overconfident, he was in a deep sleep.
Could it be a trap to lure in?
That thought crossed my mind for a brief mont.
But I soon shook my head and denied that possibility.
If that were the case, he would have aid for the mont I entered the room.
But he didn’t do that.
In other words, it ant he had let his guard down now.
It was fortunate amidst the misfortune.
With the situation of the demons being particularly unfavorable now, the invasion of the Dwarf Republic must not fail.
With that mindset, I slowly approached.
I got close enough to feel the commander’s breath, but he still had his eyes closed and was sleeping.
I slowly raised my dagger.
Still, he remained unmoving.
Without hesitation, I swung down the raised dagger as it was.
In the end, you let your guard down, oh commander of the Royal Knights.
However, I felt sothing strange.
I couldn’t feel the sensation in my hand.
“What the…”
Blood didn’t splatter around.
The dagger had rely stabbed the innocent bed.
So fur was tumbling in the air.
Right at that mont when I was standing there with a blank expression, stunned by the sudden situation.
“Who are you?”
A chilling blade touched my neck.
The commander, who had been sleeping, not only woke up but also got behind in that brief mont.
The mont I realized that fact, for the first ti, cold sweat ran down.
As expected of the commander of the Royal Knights.
His skills were absurd.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Although many shocking stories were exchanged, anyway, we decided to rest for today and start the investigation the next day.
Because the mbers were too tired to start right away.
For the protection of our safety, it was decided that the Jewel Star would specially escort us.
I would be personally guarded by Rain Erald.
I suppose we could trust them since they were the royal guard.
In fact, Ambassador Viral also directly expressed his trust in Rain Erald, even if he didn’t know about others.
She was probably Ambassador Viral’s closest aide.
Anyway, we took a rest.
And at the sa ti, I thought I could rest at ease for today.
There was an underlying thought that they wouldn’t reveal their true colors from the first day.
Would they really do that right away?
But that actually happened.
Assumptions can really get you.
It’s not like I had noticed anything.
I was just tired, so I washed up and went straight to bed.
But my sleep was restless, and when I woke up, there was a dagger right in front of .
At first, I wasn’t very surprised.
Because I thought it was a dream.
However, that wasn’t a dream.
While I was sleeping, ti stop had activated and saved my life.
“Oh shit, that startled .”
If I had panicked and sat up, I would have been stabbed by the dagger and severely injured.
I slowly and carefully sat up, avoiding the dagger.
How long had ti stop been active?
About 5 minutes had passed.
Just being able to roughly know that was already a big help for .
I quickly drew my sword and struck at its neck.
At first, I had intended to kill it right away.
But soon, my mind changed.
My sword couldn’t penetrate deep into its neck.
Based on the feeling, it was much tougher than Comprachico.
It ant it was at least a higher-ranking demon than Comprachico.
Then it ant it was at least a blood demon.
I frowned.
Originally, demons couldn’t operate here due to the barrier.
At most, only low-level ones could be active.
But recently, blood demon-level demons had started to appear.
It was proof that the Holy Kingdom’s barrier was weakening.
That was also a problem, but for now, let’s focus on the current issue.
I released ti stop.
If the ti stop lasted any longer, I wouldn’t be able to endure it due to the cooldown.
As soon as I released ti stop, I saw its startled expression.
“Who are you?”
Now all that was left was to buy ti until the cooldown was over.
I couldn’t withstand facing a blood demon-level without using ti acceleration.
But ti acceleration was a sure-kill move.
I had to save it until the very end.
Honestly, it was best not to use it at all.
Anyway, to buy ti for the ti stop cooldown, I opened my mouth.
Then it slowly got up and turned its head. And the mont I saw its face, I was shocked.
Because it was the face of soone I knew.
With blue hair.
And a girl-like appearance with blue eyes as well.
Rain Erald, she was the one who had attempted to assassinate with a dagger.
Why in the world?
Wasn’t she Ambassador Viral’s closest aide?
“I aid for when your senses were dulled from the long journey. It seems I’m the one who fell into a trap.”
“…”
“It seems you have a lot to ask . But I can answer a few things.”
“Why did you, the closest aide of Ambassador Viral, betray him?”
Fortunately, the threat worked.
The poker face skills I had trained until now finally shone.
If I had shown a flustered appearance, my skills would have been doubted.
And right after that, I would have been attacked.
Nevertheless, the reason it wasn’t moving now was because it was wary of .
That was why it was answering to buy ti.
I knew that, but now it was rather welcod.
I also needed to cooldown ti stop.
Let’s try to buy as much ti as possible now.
At my words, Rain smiled and replied,
“As expected, the people of the continent are foolish.”
“What?”
“Do I still look like Rain to you?”
“…?!”
“AKA MPP3 TK1 MPP4 TK2 DARRRRR…”
It made so bizarre noise.
As if sothing inhuman was speaking to .
That kind of voice.
A chill ran down my spine.
I clenched my teeth.
I had to maintain my poker face.
Rain’s form started to lt like mud.
Eventually, it completely lost its shape.
Instead, what was there was sothing grotesquely shaped.
It definitely wasn’t human.
Crawling on the floor, it had very thin threads surrounding its body.
Its face wasn’t visible.
But although its eyes weren’t visible, nurous mouths were attached to its body and moving.
“PL3 UT1 DDAD EL MPP4 DARRRRR…”
The problem was that it was spewing out incomprehensible sounds from those nurous mouths.
From my perspective of listening to it, I felt like I would go insane at any mont.
That was how terribly dreadful the sound was.
Eventually, it moved.
It swung its tentacles.
I quickly retreated backward.
The tentacles it swung instantly smashed the floor.
Thanks to that, I fell to the floor.
My posture was broken, but I barely survived because it hastily fled.
I clicked my tongue and got up from the spot.
Whatever the case, reuniting with the others ca first now.
Because I was scared.
What the hell was that?
That monster.
