26. The Decisive Battle of Jirumu Town (Epilogue)

“Well, I certainly intend to re-educate the misunderstandings of the humans of this world, so that they treat homunculi the way they treat each other humans. First of all, in order to do that, it is necessary to take over this Kingdom.”

Hearing this answer, Guregin realized that the man before his eyes was truly a lunatic.

No, fusioning with the Evil G.o.d in a botched summoning is what brought about this monster, but there is no way for Guregin who’s but a normal human to know this reason.

All he could do was pick up someone’s sword that lied down near his feet,

“You devil!”

While raising a scream, he brandished his sword towards Iss.h.i.+.

Premier was going to prevent it, but Iss.h.i.+ raised his hand to stop her.

So, Guregin’s sword swung down on his shoulder, and although it hit splendidly …

“Wh- Why doesn’t it pierce. You with no armor at all…!!”

However, such a question received no answer at all.

After looking uninterestedly at the sword that was stopped at his shoulder, Iss.h.i.+ pushed out his blade in a very natural movement and carelessly pierced Guregin’s heart.

The man soon crumbled down to the ground while muttering something.

The remaining mercenaries were dealt with by both Arge and Nacht, although they had been trying to overcome the dumbfounded feeling of Guregin’s death.

After a while, all that remained was a mountain of debris, the scattered corpses of the mercenaries, and thanks to the unusual torrent of magical power a large crater.

…and the horror that was present in eyes of the towns folks upon witnessing this tragic event.

Iss.h.i.+ and the homunculi, the winners of this fight were smiling while in the midst of this h.e.l.l.

“Haa, haa, haa”

A man was running alone in the plateau with only the moonlight as his guide in the night.

“Haa, haa, haa”

While tightly grasping onto a letter, there was a tragic expression on his face.

“Haa, haa, haa”

Before long the Fort City Reignite come into his view, and he mustered the last energy to continue running.

After he handed over the tightly grasped letter to the Knight Gatekeeper, overwhelmed by fatigue he fell down and lost consciousness.

However with a single sentence,

“Dian-sama is dead because the rebellion of the homunculi!!”

He imparted those words.
