The teleportation circle the Sage had invented required asixth-rank darkness spells, and so it had been purchased not by the human countries but the Teress wasthe Dark Lady

The Dark Lady Whitehare was a unique enemy

The past Dark Lords recorded in the history books and the current Dark General monsters nor alone

No th were, alone, they would be defeated by several Heroes or Chah, then they just needed to be dragged into a war of attrition and surrounded by a coalition army, and humanity would have more than a decent chance to win

Yet Dark Lords were still feared, and the Dark Generals still hadn't been stamped outWhile partly it was due to the lack of unity between the human countries, the e arres, or the Orcs, each army had tens of thousands of soldiers

In pure numbers, the human race had more people with their total population of over a hundred millionBut the Dark Generals' armies had over ninety percent of their members as combatants, and even the weakest footsoldier could put up ainst a Rank 3 adventurerThe humans had no idea how much casualty they would suffer if their armies clashed face-to-faceThey had no choice but to be cautious

Yet the Dark Lady Whitehare was fundamentally differentShe alorked alone

The strength of the current Dark Generals lay in their armies, but at the saainst low-ranked monstersOn the other hand, nobody knehere Whitehare wasShe was a phantouards couldn't even slow her down if she appeared, and the Sapling would be long gone by the tih-rank adventurers and elite knights to the Sapling's defense would buy soainst the powerful ht in a catch-22

And to pour salt on the wound, the de up in a resistancethe reroups of humans who had remained in an effort to rebuild their homeland — and take back the demihuuilds had been issuing requests to eradicate the resistance, butup in force in the last six months had refusedThe nobility of certain countries had attempted to punish these adventurers, which had only resulted in the high-rank adventurers of the country leaving the border and ultiroup of human countries had offered a peace deal with the resistance, saying “Let's stand together against the Dark Lady and defend world peace!”, but the reply from the demihumans were just three words: “Go fuck yourselves”

Yet humanity — or more accurately, the Temples — had still not yet lost

On the surface, the Te assistance to the Heroes, and sending adventurers all over the world to defend against the Dark LadyWhile the adventurers were killingthanks from the local, their true purpose was to serve as the Te ide numbered around one hundred thousand, but not all of them had human supervisionThey patrolled in an AI-determined pattern, and they only reported to the corporation once they detected a significant event

But that wasn't enough to watch for all the signs of an appearance by the Dark Lady Whitehare, as not only an elusive phantom but also a cautious oneThe 4th research center had ned anti-Dark Lady department: their plan was to make use of the eyes of nearly three h an AI to search for certain terms such as 'Dark Lady', 'the bunny', or 'Whitehare', in order to look for the Dark Lady

“Whwhat's happening?! No, nooOOOO—”

It happened when I was in theanother small countryAn adventurer party had seenat me, when they suddenly screa along my lucky charms, Blobsy and Panda, I barely suffered anymonsters to attack cities as a distraction to deal with the hardened defense of the Saplings

I also realized one other thing recently: goblinoid oblins themselves, were hostile to me the same way they were hostile to humans and demihumans, but other types of o out of their way to attack me

Just because I was the Dark Lady didn't et monsters at my beck and callI'd talked with the World Tree one more time for more information, and it turned out that the reason for the increase in monster population these last few decades, as well as the reason they'd begun to attack hu the thes

This was… quite the shocking truth

No huht that the culprit behind the monster attacks was the World Tree itself: the cornerstone of the world, the foundation of their livelihood, and even the target of their worshi+p

No wonder Blobsy and Panda got attached tothe hts so that I could invade the vulnerable city and destroy the Sapling, but then suddenly, trouble happened
