Chapter 70 (1/2)
I was stunned as soon as I stepped out onto the street.
This city, the capital of Grayfield, had become a sea of fire.
Many people are fleeing.
The screams confuse me even more.
Bashun
A black mass descended forcefully from the sky, creating a gust of wind as it planted its feet on the ground.
It is a black wyvern.
A subspecies of dragon.
”Ha ha ha ha! Toru! I didn't know I'd find you here!”
Sain was sitting atop the wyvern.
He is dressed in black, and also has a terrifying black sword at his waist.
On his left arm, he wore a silver bracelet.
Sain did not get off the wyvern, but smiled.
”This is your doing, isn't it!?”
”Yes, of course. I led the troops in the attack.”
Several wyverns pass right over us.
”It's my Wyverns unit. They're taking out the enemy.”
”Come to think of it, there was also a small group of elite knights in this country.”
”Why would you, a former hero, do something like this?”
The King clenched his fists so tightly in anger that they were dripping blood.
However, Sain smiled as if he didn't care.
”Please don't take away my credibility. I still have the hero's job, so you can't take that title away from me. Only now I'm the hero who's with the demons, hahahaha!”
”Damn you!”
I stopped the King with my hand.
”Your Majesty, go back to the palace. I'll take care of this.”
”Toru-Dono... Sorry, and thank you.”
The King swallowed his anger, and ran away.
In fact, I'm sure he would have liked to fight Sain himself.
But at the moment he must consider his position as King. So he prioritized it over his selfish desires.
He is a good King, I respect him for that.
That's why I have to live up to his expectations.
I must put an end to this situation as soon as possible.
”Toru, do you really think you can defeat me without a weapon?”
”A towel will be enough to finish you off.”
”Hahaha, don't act tough. You're scared.”
”Not at all.”
As I said that, I was a little worried.
It is difficult to face Sain without having some strategy or weapon.
Things would be different if I had my sword.
I have no choice but to attack with my towel.
”Go, Birdswell.”
”Gyaou!”
Sain jumped off the Wyvern and with a flutter, the animal opened its giant maw in front of me.
Wyverns are the strongest of the dragon subspecies.
It is a few steps behind the legitimate Red Dragon, but still dangerous enough to be called a monster.
.... But this guy is no match for me.
Swoop
”Gurrr”
”Birdswell?”
With my wet towel, I swat the wyvern like a fly.
The great monster disappeared into the sky.
Sain looks at me with a furious expression.
”How dare you hurt my wyvern!?”
”It's your fault for bringing him into the clutches of death.”
”Shut up! I'll make you regret that!”
The sword he drew gave off a chilling presence.
It is as if a person's negative emotions were condensed into a sword.
It is different from the demonic weapons I have been dealing with so far.
”Are you afraid? This is my new weapon to replace the sacred sword. I just came to say hello, but I changed my mind. I will kill you.”
”Say hello?”
”It's an announcement as a real hero standing next to the Demon King. In other words, a declaration of war. I will make all the humans who have despised me, including you, know utter terror.”
Sain gets into position and readies his sword.
I cover myself with my wet towel and prepare for battle.
”Haah!”
”Haaaa!”
We charged each other at the same time.
I quickly wrapped the wet towel around Sain's sword and deflected his attack.
”Eeeh!?”
I then drove my left fist into his back, hitting him behind the lungs.
Sain flew in a straight line at high speed and disappeared through the outer wall of the city.
I don't think he'll die from that blow.
It's time for my revenge, Sain.
”Master!”
”What 's going on!?”
”What did they do to the city!?”
Kaede and the girls appeared seconds later.
Just in time.
Now that Kaede is here, she can take care of the fire.
”Kaede, I will provide you with magical power while you take care of magically extinguishing the fire in the city.”
”Understood!”
”Frau, Luna, take charge of rescuing the inhabitants who need help.”
