"Huh...... Am I wrong? ”

Looking at Wood's obviously bad face, and the claws on her head that were gradually tightening, Akua said with a shudder.

“……”

The corners of Wood's mouth moved: "...... It's true that it's wrong, but what's the deal with that kind of statement that makes people think about it? ”

"This is ......"

Daknis looked at the little black-haired boy who was tiptoeing behind Akua and holding Akua down, his face full of doubt.

It's no wonder, after all, it's the first time she's seen Wood in his human state.

Although the body of the sleeping god is not high, it has also reached one meter seven upwards, and the difference in hair color and height makes it difficult for people to associate the body of the sleeping god with the human physique.

"He's the one who captured Akua, and this harmless appearance is probably the one he usually uses as a disguise." Kazuma Sato whispered to Daknis.

"Disguised?"

Darkness nodded knowingly.

The corners of Wood's mouth twitched, and he decisively ignored Kazuma Sato's explanation that it seemed to be okay, but it seemed that there was something wrong.

"You-"

At that moment, an angry roar was heard, followed by terrifying magic.

“…… Give me enough to stop! ”

The eyes under the helmet of the Headless Horseman were extremely red, and he glared angrily at the city gate: "There is also a limit to ignoring people, a small town full of novice adventurers, who gave you the courage to ignore the questions of me, a dignified demon king army cadre?" ”

Many adventurers outside the city gate turned their heads to look at the Headless Horseman at the same time, and then they all blinked their eyes in confusion, clearly expressing something similar to 'Huh? You're still there's an attitude.

“……”

The Headless Horseman's arm holding the skull stiffened, and an extremely awkward atmosphere permeated the air, and the entire city gate fell silent.

The silence lasted for more than ten seconds.

The Headless Horseman suddenly raised his head in his hand and said in a dark voice, "...... Often... Every day, every day, every day...... They all came to my castle, no matter how windy or rainy, they never stopped running to my castle to release the burst magic, who is the guy with a problem with his head!! ”

"It's a contradiction to bring the conversation back to the beginning... Is it because of everyone's reaction just now that he doesn't know what to say, right? Kazuma Sato couldn't help but feel a little pity for the Headless Horseman.

"It's just an undead, and it's still so arrogant!!"

Akua shouted angrily, and the divine power on her body rose, and she waved her hand directly at the Headless Horseman.

“Sacred· Turn· Undead

A soft white glow centered on Akua enveloped the entire area, and the entire world was almost dyed white in an instant.

Rumble!

Pillars of light that far exceeded the limits of magic fell from the sky, enveloping the Headless Horsemann in the middle.

"Ahhhh

The black qi on the body of the headless horseman, who had not yet been immortal before, surged with a series of screams from his mouth, and the undead horse under his crotch directly turned into ashes and scattered away.

However, the Headless Horseman was a cadre of the Demon King Army after all, and his strength was much stronger than the high-level demon that appeared not long ago.

He survived Akuya's magic, and the holy white light dissipated.

The Headless Horsemann staggered to his feet, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at Akua.

"Huh?"

Akuya was stunned: "How can it be strange that it doesn't work?" ”

"No, it's obviously very effective, isn't he screaming?" Kazuma Sato replied.

"I am one of the cadres of the Demon King's army, the Headless Horseman Berdia, with this armor specially blessed by His Majesty the Demon King, plus my strength, the High Priest's 'Sacred· Turn· 'Undead' should be completely useless to me......"

The Headless Horseman stared at Akua with a pair of eyes: "It shouldn't be useless, right, how many levels are you this guy?" Is it really a newcomer? Isn't this a novice town? ”

Wood pouted, Akua was a complete waste to creatures other than the undead, but to the undead, Akua was a nemesis.

There are really few undead creatures who come to this city who can not be played to death by Akua.

"Forget it, in that case, now complete the task given to me by His Majesty the Demon King. Although he asked me to investigate the two divine auras that appeared not long ago, I began to feel that it was troublesome, and I could destroy this town directly. ”

The Headless Horseman spoke coldly, and the dead air in the middle of the words suddenly became thick.

Whoa......

There was a strange noise, and bags of dirt bulged up on the ground.

As the dirt bag was broken, what caught everyone's eyes was ...... An army of the undead that makes your scalp tingle.

It was a knight in armor, with rotting skin peeking out through the cracks, and a sword in hand.

Undead Knight!

A monster two orders higher than a zombie.

Although it doesn't have any intelligence, it's not something that novice adventurers can deal with, let alone ...... So much in number.

If these undead knights are really allowed to kill in the town, then the destruction of the town that the headless knight said is very likely to become a reality!!

"Oops..."

"Whoever goes to the poor sour shopkeeper and asks for some holy water, as much as he wants."

"Huh?"

But the scene that happened next stunned everyone present, because those undead knights actually rushed towards the two people in front of them at the same time.

"Huh?"

Akuya blinked, looking at the mighty army of the undead, and her pretty face turned white: "Eh, eh, eh!" Why did you come straight to me? ”

Wood sneered and grabbed Akua by the neck.

"Bastard, what are you doing?"

Akua was stunned, and before she could finish her sentence, she was thrown out by Wood.

Wood retreated into the crowd, and the undead knights were chasing Akua anyway.

However......

Boom Boom Boom ——!

Wood couldn't help but be stunned as he watched as he completely ignored the bait and rushed straight towards his army of the undead.

This familiar scene......

Are you born to fight with these things?

The group of adventurers behind Wood, looking at the rushing army of undead, turned pale one by one, and subconsciously dispersed in other directions.

In the blink of an eye, Wood was left standing alone, directly drowned by the rushing army of undead.

"Huh? Is that guy saving me? ”

Akua looked at the army of undead knights with a deep confusion on her face.

Is this bastard so kind?

"Hahahaha~~~ Let's go, my army, directly flatten this inexplicable city!!" The Headless Horseman laughed maniacally at the smoke and dust that had been kicked up by the running army.

Buzz——!

The movement of the army of the undead suddenly stopped.

An eerie sense of tranquility suddenly permeated the scene.

It was as if time had stopped at this moment.

A strong smell of blood fills the air.

"It's... What......"

Akuya's face changed, and she only felt an aura even more evil than that of the Headless Horseman, appearing in the army of the undead without warning.

Woohoo Woo Woo ——!

With a dense sound of breaking the air, endless blood blades emerged from the center of the undead army like raindrops, and quickly spread around.

Everywhere you go!

The vast army of the undead was all disintegrated.

rotten minced meat,

Fragmented armor,

Spread over the entire area, outlining a picture of hell!

This scene made everyone, including the Headless Horseman, lose their voices.

And right in the middle of there.

With purple lips and blood-colored hair, a figure dressed in a bloody robe stood in the center of the broken corpse.

It's like a demon king!
