'He who fights monsters must be careful not to become a monster himself. When I look into the abyss, the abyss also sees me
I look into it.'

Marquis Amon completely crumbled at the end of his dreary lines.
What he said was quite shocking.
'Hey. sordidum diaboli. Quia adversarius vester sit a me.
The line that Goliath, who could speak demonic language, shouted as he moved away from Ishbib Nob, who could not speak demonic language.
Ishvivnob was guessing that it meant something like 'This way, follow me'.
But in reality it was quite the opposite.
'Flee to the right, chase over there.'
It was not the will of a determined warrior, but the ambassador of the one who sold his friends in his place.
You're selling your friends...
I lowered my head in a feeling of embarrassment.
Even to the moment of death, Marquis Amon engraved an unpleasant stigma on me.
'Curse of Marquis Amon' / Abnormal Status: Debuff

An unknown magic circle is engraved in the center of my chest.
Intricate patterns were embroidered around it, with a red inverted five-man star carved in a round circle, an inverted cross, and strange patterns carved in the shape of a door.
”It's the first time I've ever felt uncomfortable even after holding it.”
After the raid starts, I feel more anxious than before.
In the object caught in the grave of the brave
Especially since this pattern was not observed for crabs.
Drake and Yunsol also expressed similar feelings.
”Maybe it's because it was a truly uniquely strong existence among the risk-grade S-class monsters, so I don't know if it leaves a feeling of uneasiness even after holding it. Even this awkwardness is reflected in his hunting difficulty.”
What do you do... Mr. Isvivnov?
is too pitiful.”
Well, although Ishvivnob's situation is pitiful, I can't afford to worry about that on the plate with an unknown stigma engraved on my chest.
then.
- Tiling!

A place where huge vertebrae surround it like a fortress wall.
On the red blood-stained earth, a huge person lies
It looked like it was stretching out.
The king of Bashan was Ishvivnob. A giant in mythology who pulled up mountains and pulled the sun. Probably the strongest NPC in the current worldview.
He sat down, his body covered in blood, and took a deep breath.
It seems that the last demon wave that lasted until the end of Marquis Amon's extinction was more intense than ever before.
Even the Isviv Knob of the bottom was full of scratches and cuts all over his body.
I can't even imagine how fierce the final battle would have been if a man of great strength to strangle even an adult Hydra.
I just opened my mouth and stared at the vast land soaked in blood.
However.
[What? Are the little friends here?]
The expression on Isvivnob's face, who had stopped the last demon wave, was bright.
He is a legendary being standing at the end of the long Guma War.
Isvivnob was very friendly with us. He seems to know who killed Marquis Amon.
[Thank you, little friends. Thanks to you, our giant nation was spared from destruction. even though i'm the only one
The giants are not extinct! I will think of you as friends and benefactors for the rest of my life.]
He vomits out sighs and laughter that have been around for thousands of years.
Deep sorrow, regret, and joy coexisted in the blood-stained smile.
And then, he reached out a huge hand towards me.
[It is a great blessing to be able to hear a message from a friend on such a happy day.]
Finally got the approval of Isvivnob.
I went through my inventory and pulled out a letter.
- ; Reply from the Thunder Jade Prisoner / Ingredients/D
-Reply from Cloud Giant Goliath
It is written, 'To the last king of the giant kingdom and my best friend, Ishbibnov.
This letter was handed over to the Sky Island. It really took a long time.
”Finally delivering.”
I picked up this letter and handed it to Ish Bivnov.
No, I was going to give it to you.
Moment.
fit-
Without any warning, and with no time to prepare, dark red sparks flew out of my chest.
Amon's brand engraved on his chest seemed to tremble, and then he emitted a strange light.
Don't let the light that comes out of the stigma
It burned my arms and wrists like a cunning snake, and it permeated the letter.
” What!?”
I have never heard of a pattern like this, so I hurriedly put my hands behind my back.
However, the quest has already floated on the system as cleared.
- Tiling!

The letter is handed over as if sucked into Ishvivnov's grasp.
Trying to retrieve it was to no avail.
Ugh!?
When I saw Amon's debuffed letter, I had to breathe in the wind.
兵兵兵兵兵兵兵.
The stationery is stained black.
The brand of Marquis Amon, the demon of malice, was engraved like a stamp on the outside of the envelope.
And Isbi Bnob, who had not had time to look at it because of the dried scab, began to read the letter I had brought without any doubt.
And.
