Part 5

The sunshine had fallen to the other side of the western rampart, and the surroundings have become dim.

At the edge of the northern district, it was a place where redevelopment seemed to be popular. Since it was already late in the day, there wasn’t much pedestrian traffic.

There were many buildings that Diablo did not recall.

It seemed that Rem also had similar thoughts.

「……It’s as if it’s a new town.」

The owner who was guiding them spoke.

「Not too long ago, a huge explosion had happened, and the cemetary and rampart disappeared.」

「So it was that place!」

Diablo hit his hands together.

On top of coming through a route different from usual, since the place had changed completely, he hadn’t realized.

It was the place he fought at when Krum had awakened and turned into the Demon King Krebskrum.

It was none other than Diablo’s Maximum Magic 《Apocalypse Abyss》 that had blown away the whole region.

The owner added on to his explanation.

「This area had belonged to Faltra City, but the wrecked ground was leveled, sold to nobles and merchants, and I heard that the rampart was rebuilt with that capital.」

「What about the gravesite?」

A scary faced gatekeeper stood in their way.

「Who the hell are all of you? What do you think this place is?」

It was easy to predict that if he were to ignore him and Krum stepped forward, it would turn into a uproar. That being said, neither Rem nor Shera stood up in front of the scoundrel.

Having no choice. Diablo took the lead.

「Hmph……This place is the den of the punk called Measmos or something, is it not?」

The gatekeepers seethed with anger.

「Did you just say punk!? Don’t screw with me! I don’t know who asked you to do this, but Measmos-sama ain’t some small timer that a mere Adventurer can do something about! If you say anything strange, I’ll beat ya ta death, got it!?」

It seemed that there was no mistake that it was this estate.

Krum put up one hand, and let magical power flow out.

「Yosh, it’s annihilation -nanoda!」

「Wait, wait!」

In a rush, Diablo stopped her.
