Volume 1 - CH 3.10

Part 10

The inn was partially destroyed.

It just barely managed to avoid collapsing, but it had lost enough of the wall that it wouldn’t be strange if the second floor fell down at any moment.

And then, in the area, fragments of the wall and pillars were scattered about and a great number of people were shedding blood and collapsed.

They were corpses.

There were also corpses of soldiers.

There weren’t wounds due to swords or arrows, but they were all wounds of being crushed.

There was also the figures of some that wore the robe of the Magician’s Guild.

Several of the Adventurers were also collapsed.

They probably put their lives on the line and tried to protect the people of the town.

「……How awful.」

Shera’s voice was trembling.

Certainly, this much of a disaster didn’t happen in the game.

「So that guy did this……」

Diablo found the strange-looking Demonic Being, and glared at him.

Alongside a wall, Rem and Celes were cornered.

Rem was down on one knee, and breathing with her shoulders.

Blood was flowing down from her forehead.

Celes looked like she was uninjured but if she were in the Demonic Being’s reach, she probably wouldn’t be living anymore.

In front of the girls stood a bloodstained man.

The things that was once golden armor and helmet were already full of holes and of no use.

His sword was broken, and he looked like he already had no fighting strength left.

Even so, he was standing.

「……I, I, won’t fall……In front of women, never.」

Rem shouted.

「Just, stop already, Emil! Why are you going so far to fight!? You’re going to die!」

「……Protect women……I…….Absolutely……That’s what, I swore.」

「《Air Shoot》」

Diablo’s magic sent the Demonic Being flying back.

As if a squall had blown in, it separated the opponent to a distance where his fists wouldn’t reach.

「Whoa oa oa……!?」

For now, they were separated by about ten-something meters.

Slowly, Diablo approached Rem’s group.

「Hmph……It’s hard to say that I made it in time but……You’re alive, right, Rem?」
