Although it was small in size, because it was a village facing the trader’s road, the residents of the village were not very wary of outsiders. As there were a lot of merchants who gave them money when they lent their houses, they tended to welcome them when someone visited the village. So even when they saw torch lights appearing from the other side of the village in the middle of the night, they were not wary and just thought it was another guest visiting.

But they were actually demon worshippers.

A few days ago, the King sent soldiers to catch Prince Sidhar, who had committed treason. Searching through the Western Hautean, the soldiers found the hideout for the demon worshippers and a fierce battle soon followed.

Unfortunately, most of the soldiers sent by the King were wiped out. A small number of surviving soldiers ran back the way they came to convey the news to the capital.

In a similar manner, the demon worshipper’s hideout was not intact and suffered great damage. After thinking that they could no longer hide there, they split and took refuge. Some of them ended up in the village.

“W, what? Wha… Arrghhh!”

It was a dark night. The demon worshippers were originally those who had mainly been invading and looting. They did not have the option to rent any rooms with money. Dozens of demon worshippers began killing villagers with two black sorcerers at the lead. They were going to take away all the food and money in this village and run away.

“Demian.”

But Demian and the wolves were in the village. All of the wolves were capable of dealing with demon worshippers and Demian was something of a natural enemy of black sorcerers.

They were sleeping in a group in the living room on the first floor. Even though they were in the village, they had never let their guards down. As soon as the first scream was heard, Demian woke up with his eyes wide open. The rest of the wolves also followed suit.

“Hush.”

They went out one by one, taking only simple protective gear and weapons without saying anything. Four wolves guarded Lara’s room. The rest ran out of the door after Demian.

“Gentlemen, hurry up and escape. The village is being invaded… Leave this place!”

The man who lent them the house appeared on a pony and warned them. The demon worshippers who invaded the village began looting. Screams could be heard here and there.

“Four of you follow Demian and deal with them. Two of you patrol around the house and stand guard. The rest will be fighting in the front here.”

“Okay.”

The wolves did not contemplate for a long time. They were all skillful in battle.

Demian was the first to take action. In his hand was the royal family’s sword given by Princess Sonnet. A dazzling light emanated from the red jewel embedded in the sword’s handle.

“Who are you?”

The demon worshippers, who had been looting freely, faltered in surprise at Demian and the wolves who had suddenly appeared with weapons.

Demian did not say anything. The same went for the wolves. The villagers, who gave them meals and a warm bed, were covered in blood and collapsed on the road. Some were dying, but most of them were dead.

“Just kill them all!”

They shouted.

‘Yeah, there’s no need for words on the battlefield.’

Demian swung his sword. He stood in the middle of the demon worshippers, even though he was definitely over here just a little while ago. Whenever he swung his sword, the demon worshippers screamed like crazy. Their limbs were cut off and blood splattered everywhere. Demian was a merciless grim reaper. Wherever he stood, everyone he touched died.

“This way!”

The wolves tried not to disturb Demian and chased after the rest of the demon worshippers. Soon the black sorcerers were found. Two black sorcerers were preparing their magic, muttering their spells with blood all over their bodies.

“Demian!”

The wolves called Demian out loud. Then, they threw all the weapons they were carrying at the black sorcerers to prevent them from completing their spells.

“The great lord of the demon realm, Valac of Blood!”

“Aarghhhh!”

After somehow dashing at an incredible speed toward one of the black sorcerers, Demian hit his neck and stopped his incantations. And with the other black sorcerer being caught by the wolves, the black magic that they were chanting was only half successful.

Even after being exposed to half-complete magic, Demian did not appear to have any scratches. He moved again to deal with the rest of the demon worshippers. Except for those who quickly fled far away, most of the attackers knelt before him.

“Damn it!”

The wolves who dealt with the black sorcerer got up. The surviving villagers grabbed their family’s bodies and wailed.

“Heaven will punish you for this… You demon worshippers.”

Someone muttered.

Lara was not sleeping deeply. She did fall asleep as soon as she had closed her eyes, but she was woken up by Konny’s loud snoring.

‘She must have been really tired.’

With the growling sound next to her ears, she could not sleep even though she was tired. Lara pulled up the blanket to prevent Konny from catching a cold.

At that time, an ear-splitting, desperate scream was heard outside. Lara got up in shock. Konny opened her eyes wide and looked at her, asking what had happened.

“Konny, did you close the window?”

“Yes, yes.”

“The outer window?”

“Yes, I locked them all.”

“Don’t move from here.”

“M, milady, where are you going?”
