40-The difference between the two (1/2)

”Don't worry. I'm on your side.

That day, in an alleyway in the city of Esthar.

The man said to Nahat.

”Don't you want to get back at all those people who made fun of you?　I'll give you the power to do it.

Who was this man in front of me?　Is it safe to trust him?　Is it safe to trust him?

All the thoughts that came to mind popped like bubbles and disappeared.

Nahat let the black emotions take over his words.

He could feel a dark shadow overtaking his mind. But he did not resist. Nahat had no more fetters to hold him back.

The power he had been given was more than he could ever hope for.

What he had been was a temporary form, and now he had finally regained his true form. I was immersed in a feeling of omniscience and omnipotence, as if I had been reborn.

I attacked the city, letting the rage simmering in my chest grow black.

I burned down everything I hated.

The adventurer's guild. The adventurer's guild, the adventurer's scum who talked behind my back. And the townspeople who say whatever they want about the fallen Red Fang.

I erased everything I didn't like.

I couldn't stand the pleasure.

The way those who didn't recognize me succumbed to the overwhelming power.

It felt like the pus in my chest was melting away.

But it's not enough. It's not enough.

I have to kill them to end this rage.

Haruna and Irene who gave up on me.

And that one above all.

Zeke, the one who got you into this mess.

Until I kill them all, there will be no peace in my heart.

After the destruction of the city of Esthar, the man who gave Nacht his power appeared again, this time asking him to attack the city of Astaroth. He said he wanted us to destroy the Orb of Light, the wedge that seals the Demon Lord, because it is enshrined there.

Needless to say, Nahato was planning to attack the city of Astaroth. This is not an auspicious story of awakening to the pride of being a demon.

It's because the city of Astaroth has Zeke.

I've heard rumors that he's active in the city guard. As a gatekeeper, he is said to have repelled the advance of the undead army with a small force.

...... completely destroyed the city Zeke was guarding. Not a single building or person was left standing. I'll make him realize how helpless he is, and then I'll kill him in despair.

So I've decided to gather up the demons and attack the city of Astaroth.

--There's no one in the world who can stand against me now. I'm going to take everything that Zeke has defended and trample it down.

That's what Nacht thought before the fight. This isn't a fight, it's a one-sided overrun. A show where Zeke and the others would just be tortured.

But...

Once the battle actually began, he realized that things were different.

The demons that Nacht had sent could not penetrate the city at all.

They were all blocked by the guards at the gates and the knights on the stone walls surrounding the city.

”Master Nacht!　I have a report!　We attempted to enter the city from the western airspace, but we were blocked by the ambushers and failed!

Our troops were also wiped out!　I, too, have been wiped out!

It seems that all of our moves have been read!

The demons under my command are sending me communication spells one after another.

But none of them are good news, only bad news.

I tried to contact them again, but many of them were unable to connect.

It's probably already been done.

”d*mn it, ......!　What the hell is going on ......?

Nahat's command had been read by the enemy.

It was as if they could see into his mind.

--Are there any insiders among the demons?　No, no. If there is, I'll know it. It's reading my hand.

By whom?

I don't think Haruna or Irene can lead.

If that's the case...
