Chapter 3: The Coming Greatsword

Flora, ranked 8th in the Great Sword Rankings, has sword skills and slashes the wind, so she is also called Flora who slashes the wind, but for the vast majority of people, these are meaningless, they just call each other the big sword, and it is possible to call each other monsters if they have a bad personality.

But even with such a feared and hated existence, humans have to rely on it to survive, because only a great sword can distinguish the demons mixed in the crowd.

And today's Great Sword named Flora, after a long day's journey, arrived at its intended destination, which was a remote village, a village so remote that merchants rarely came, and had been living a self-sufficient life.

But a lot of things have happened in that village recently, first someone disappeared inexplicably, then there was a corpse with a chest and abdomen hollowed out, then there were unknown adventurers coming, and even a guy claiming to be an adventurer was picked up, and then the most terrifying thing happened.

One of them happened yesterday, the Simpsons, a family without any characteristics and seemingly generally happy, was actually killed during the day, everyone in the family was hollowed out of their chests and abdomen, and their bodies were also in tatters, of course, this incident alone is not terrifying, and the more terrifying thing is the next thing caused by this.

The second happened today, following yesterday's Simpson incident, the village chief was almost frightened, although the call on the villagers to kill the demon did not succeed, but then he still came up with a way, gathered most of the villagers to stay with him, of course, he showed the letter, proving that the great sword would arrive today, and then the terror came.

Blood, countless blood stained the earth, corpses were piled miserably on the ground, corpses were barely intact, not only as if the internal organs were hollowed out, the limbs were broken, the heads were trampled on, and even more cruel situations were there, not only eating, but also revenge.

"Ah~ah!" I tried to grow my mouth and wanted to shout loudly, but my throat was already squirming, but my voice seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, and I could only hear the screams I made, but even if I did, I had to shout, otherwise I wouldn't be able to prove that I was alive.

And this is the hell that the villagers who return to the village after a day of farm work experience.

No one moved, or no one could realize how to move, and the villagers had been robbed of the ability to think by the sight before them, and perhaps if they wanted to move, they had to wait for a gust of wind to blow them down.

But fortunately, at this time, the villagers' line arrived, accompanied by the breeze blonde hair and silver eyes of the slayer appeared here.

Sniff, sniff, sniff. The extremely strong smell of blood penetrated Flora's nose, causing her to frown, and even more uncomfortable for her was the people who were currently standing in front of her, these people were densely packed, and they didn't move like a wall blocking her path.

"If only I was as scared as ever." Inadvertently, such a thought suddenly occurred to the girl, but she immediately shook her head and shook the useless thought out of her head.

The force controlled within the range of the human pushed the people around him away, but that person didn't seem to stand firmly, and fell to the ground with weak legs, and because of the extremely frightened expression on the other party's face, Flora didn't even react for a while to grab the other party and let the other party fall to the ground.

Then the screams of horror finally broke the crash that had been all along.

"Who...... Yes! ”

Ahh

Because the people who reacted, under the shock of terror, barely moved their bodies and fell to the ground, there was a passage that allowed Flora to see the scene in the village, and then she saw the cruel scene.

"There are so many people who have died, generally speaking, it is impossible for ordinary demons to have such an appetite, which means that a large number of demons have gathered here?" Flora's pupils suddenly changed and exuded strong aggressiveness, "There is no demonic energy, such a killing, the number of demons cannot be small, but now I don't feel any demonic energy." ”

"Impossible, these corpses were at least made in the afternoon, and the demonic energy of a large number of demons will not disperse so quickly, so is it a worse situation?"

After a moment's thought, Flora asked the villagers.

"Tell me, this is all your villagers?"

"Uh, uh......" The villager who was questioned opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Flora frowned, the current situation is not good, in this situation, if you want to wait for the villagers to return to normal, it is estimated that you need to at least let them sleep, but when they wake up, it will be too late.

"Looks like we can only do it in a rough way."

A strong demonic aura erupted from Flora's body in an instant, although it was impossible for ordinary people to feel the demonic aura, but that sense of impact existed, and this strong sense of impact replaced the original fear of those villagers in an instant.

"Tell me, are you all the people in the village who are here now?"

"Wait, wait a minute, I'll take a look......," one of the villagers stammered, taking a quick look at the corpses, which were undoubtedly the people the village chief had summoned to protect him, as well as the village chief himself, who was here except for those who had gone out to work.

And those who go out to work.

“…… Crow, Lille......, Peak. "The names of the people who came there were all the names, and it seemed that the people who went out to work were also here, so did it mean that everyone was there?

"My lord, all the people in our village ......"

"No, Miss Lola is gone, and that, that damn outsider is gone!" Just as the conclusion was about to be made, a young man suddenly cried out.

Then, in addition to him, the other young people who were still alive also shouted one by one.

"Damn, I knew that the stranger must be a demon, he must have killed the village chief and took Miss Lola away!"

Shouts rang out among the young people, but they were mere noises.

"Is it one of them, or both?" Flora frowned, "Although the former is the most likely, the latter also needs to be careful, this time the enemy is afraid that it is not so simple." ”

"What!" Suddenly, a huge surprise hit Flora's heart, and she felt it, not too far to the west, and an amazing demonic aura erupted, which she could feel even if she was not mainly aware of demonic energy.

"Is it a trap?" The demon who had already left burst out with demonic energy and let himself perceive it, so it could only be inferred from common sense that it was a trap, but so what.

Pursue!

Without hesitation, Flora burst out of her speed, and her figure disappeared from the sight of the villagers in an instant, rushing towards the place where the demonic energy erupted.

This time it was completely different from coming to the village, even if it wasn't a full explosion, Flora had already maintained a high speed, so that a small section of the difficult forest and less than half of the mountain road were quickly left behind by her, and she was already close to the place where the demonic energy erupted.

But the closer she got there, the more serious her face became, although it was on the mountain, there should be a flat area as far as the eye could see, and the mountain seemed to have nothing to hide, so it didn't look like a good place for an ambush.

"Do you think you're strong enough?"

But it should be more than that, it is not only the surrounding terrain that makes Flora vigilant, but the bigger problem is that the demonic energy that once erupted before has dissipated before, and now it has disappeared a lot.

With her sword in her hand and her footsteps tapping against the rock, Flora stepped onto the platform and swung her sword at the figure in front of her, who was holding a human head, and then the shadow of the sword stopped suddenly.

It was a human, and although the black hair and black pupils had never seen it, it should be a human.
