Ruined streets, burned houses, and bones everywhere...... These are the more euphemistic adjectives.

From the day the blockade line appeared, the entire civilian area in the south of the city quickly transformed from a crowded, dirty, chaotic but prosperous and life-filled community into a purgatory on earth.

Fear and danger are the norm - no one knows if anyone on their side will turn into a man-eating monster in the next second, the dead streets are occupied by strangely shaped monsters with no faces, fangs or two claws, and the church bells are silenced because there are no living priests left to ring the bells.

As for where they went? Either they became monsters or were eaten by monsters......

The indifferent and ruthless Liberal Council and the Wizard's Tower that stood by and watched, the Holy Cross Church with ulterior motives...... Ebolden civilians, who had poisoned even the last straw, had already given up their last hope in the face of constant fear and death, stormed the blockade in groups, and after being suppressed again and again, or turned into "fodder" for monsters, they completely lost their minds and hid in their homes to pray to the Holy Cross day and night.

Either death or the embodiment of death - lovers who hug each other and cry will be bitten off their necks by their sweethearts in the next second, breastfeeding mothers have their breasts torn by their children, and fleeing fathers and sons have just escaped from the clutches of monsters, but they can't avoid the fangs of their loved ones...... However, this is far from the most terrifying.

Human heart, human nature...... is the most terrifying.

Relatives will push you down for the next second, fleeing crowds will trample you into mud on the ground, dying people will drag you to your death, and the poor person who is about to mutate will vent his resentment on you...... At the same time, there are fewer and fewer living people, more and more monsters, more and more corpses, and screams come and go, like a grand musical, and the gorgeous opening ends in a fading way.

This is purgatory on earth!

When the group crossed the blockade and entered the civilian area south of the city, it was even more cruel than that—because there were fewer and fewer people alive, and they were almost dead......

"Ahhhh——!!!!!h

With a heart-rending cry, the red afterimage that rushed to the front waved its spear defenselessly, piercing the bloody mouth of the monster a moment before it screamed!

The wardancer who drew his spear did not stop, and the other red-haired girl had already roared over the burning streets, and fell from the sky to the other monster that was about to sneak attack, and the two slashes flashed in a staggered manner.

Beheading!

Probably because of the same hair color, the female night watchman Vera and the female elf from the Morning Star Forest are inexplicably compatible, and they don't even need to talk at all, but the two of them who meet for the first time can perfectly match the other pace.

The sharp tip pierced the monster's torso, and the dancing spear was thrown to the ground, and before it could scream, the silver blade decapitated its head!

There seemed to be more monsters in the streets than expected, and they rushed at the other end of the catch, and one after another was not enough to describe their "enthusiasm", and the ones in the back stepped directly on the front ones, exactly as Isaac described them - looking at them in the eyes was like looking at a medium-rare steak.

"Poof——!

Before the two guys who rushed to the front could "catch the enemy", the monsters who pounced on them were "named" one by one by the arrows shot from behind, and they fell to the ground screaming as if they had hit a wall of air.

Even if his face was pale and he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from calling out, the little wizard's hands with the bow were still as calm as steel, and without the slightest hesitation, he took the arrow, stretched the bow, and wound it......

And then hit!

Edward, who had just drawn his sword, looked at the two women and a wizard (of course, he didn't know that the little wizard was actually a woman), sighed and put the sword back.

"Although I know it may be in vain, this Miss Leah ...... Do you know where we are now?"

"Of course I don't know!" The female elf stared at the guy who suddenly appeared behind her with a natural attitude, and the spear in her hand still didn't mean to stop: "Aren't you the guide, isn't this your responsibility?"

"That's right!" Vera next to her was still helping, staring unhappily at this guy who always didn't talk much and liked to give orders: "Sister Leah is the first time to come to Eberden, Edward, how can you embarrass her so much?"

...... With a long sigh, Edward, whose expression was helpless, barely kept his composure: "Then please don't run around without permission, and please obey the order a little - I know that there is a place near here that can be used as a temporary stronghold before it has been captured by the monsters." ”

"Where?"

"Huh?" Edward paused for a moment, then pointed to the right side of the street, "Two streets ahead, from where the attic should be able to ......"

"What's the grind?!"

In the next moment, the female elf who was ready to attack had disappeared from the spot, and only her afterimage could be seen in the howling wind!

........................“...... Do you know what's the most interesting thing in the world?"

Isaac, who was holding a tome, suddenly put down the book, and looked at Peter Fasa opposite with wide eyes and a natural expression: "It's just that there are always things that will surprise you, and often go beyond your common sense, that's why I choose to specialize in occults...... Truth one second will turn into a pile of garbage the next. ”

"This kind of thing...... Isn't it frustrating to learn?"

"Because it's funny, didn't I just say that?" Isaac frowned a little unhappily, "Could it be that you just pretended to listen to me?"

"......" Peter Fasa felt like he was either crazy or on the verge of madness - listening to him talk about a whole day, he would definitely have lived twenty years less.

And looking at the "stupid" look of the wizard in front of him, Isaac could only let out a long sigh and looked at him with the same eyes as looking at potatoes: "Then I'll give you a simple example - take Ain as an example, I've lived with this guy for almost a few years, and I've never seen such beautiful archery!"

"Haven't you seen it?"

"Of course, this stupid alchemist is only good at throwing things - if you spend most of your day in a tower, you don't need that good archery. Isaac spread his hands: "So no matter where you learned it, it must have been something recent or not so long ago, not like that guy boasted, all Lothair people are born archers or something!"

"But as far as I know, a lot of Lothair learned archery from a young age......"

"Oh, yes, I learned how to do farm work when I was a kid!" Isaac rolled his eyes, "Do you think I look like an old peasant?!"

“...... So, why did Lord Ain Rand do this?"

"Who knows what this guy thinks? Anyway, as long as it has something to do with Loren, Ain will be very interested - of course, I'm pretty much it. Isaac shrugged his shoulders: "For example...... I knew who that guy named Brandon Sully was. ”

Miscellaneous...... What the?!

"You know?!"

"Of course, I'm Isaac Grantham - there's nothing in this world that I don't understand, if I want to. The triumphant Isaac was about to his chin: "Not to mention the cleverness of some 'mortals', they are simply handy!"

"Mortal ...... Clever?"

"The guy named Brandon actually deliberately spelled his last name in Old Ssack, but in the current lingua franca of the Empire, so strictly speaking, the word 'Sully' no longer exists in the Sakran Empire.

The ancient Sakran people could not distinguish between the first and last sounds, and many words were pronounced in a very different way than they are today, so if the word 'sally' was spelled today, it should be written as 'sarion'.

I've read the records of the ancient Sakran kingdom in the forbidden area, and it seems to be a place name, and there was once a family that used this place name as their family name, and according to the Sakran habit of adding a redundant name in front of the surname, it should be spelled ......"

"De Salion?!"

Wait a minute...... This, this too?!

"Well, that's what I remember. Isaac nodded:

"The royal family of the Sakran Empire, the Dragon King family - De Salion!"
