The north, Alphonse, has the title of snow country all year round. It is snowy all year round, and it can take off even in July when the south is hot and dead.

Seven years ago. Known as the Origin of Alphons, Pietta was destroyed by the devastating destruction of a large number of Awakened Ones.

And what was once the most prosperous town is now just a ruin, uninhabited and dead.

Once known as Mercy, Pieta has been truly destroyed, and is now known as the Town of the End.

At the same time, the tragedy that took place here seven years ago is not over, even if the official fighters of the organization have changed in the past seven years, even if it is a past that cannot even be searched in the organization.

But the lives and sacrifices of twenty-five warriors were still on its shoulders.

And there are so many stories of giving their lives for each other.

There will always be people who remember, there will always be people who will know such a past.

"That's..."A cloak of a woman was walking through the snow towards Pieta.

"It's so miserable..."The woman's hand hit the broken wall, "This is the remnant of the Northern War seven years ago..."

The broken wall suddenly dispersed automatically, and even the stone wall couldn't hold up in seven years?

"Even... I can't feel the slightest subtle fire of life..."The woman looked at the stone wall scattered into rubble, and seemed to be a little moved.

"The first place of the North in the past... Now that there is no longer half a human population living in the northern land, it has become the town of the end of mankind..."

"Meeting point... Is it the town of Darby, which is further north than this?" the woman took a step and continued to head north against the wind and snow.

"The damage here is less than that of Pietta...", the woman had already arrived at the town where she was to assemble, "at least there was still the appearance of a town..."

Her gaze suddenly moved to a closed wooden door, "Companions... Is it over there..."

She pushed open the wooden door, and the three heavily armed warriors in the hut looked at her in cloaks at the same time, all dressed in the most ordinary warrior attire.

"It's slow... What's the deal with your outfit?" asked one of the fighters.

"Ah, I'm sorry. The woman hurriedly apologized, "It's the first time I've come to the north, and I feel very cold..."

"Cold?" asked one of the warriors, who had only a handful of bangs in the front and a clean ponytail in the back, "how rank are you?" ”

"Ah, I'm sorry. The woman apologized again, and took off the cloak that covered her head, revealing her hair that was not pure blonde and a piece of the hilt of her sword.

"My name is Gularis... Ranked 47th. ”

"!!" Hearing this, the three warriors all looked at this woman in disbelief.

"What the hell are you hair?!" the soldier who asked earlier seemed to go berserk, "It's not all gold!"

"Ah, that, I... It doesn't seem to be like a human being... The original pigment is too strong, so it seems that there is no way to completely get rid of it...", Gularis replied a little panicked.

"Cut!" the previous warrior snorted, "The color that should have faded together when I became a half-human and half-demon is still there, and I can't adjust my body temperature in the face of the cold." ”

"You're just barely making do with it, and you're being given the lowest ranking of waste..."The warrior's words showed no mercy.

"Huh... Waste...", Gularis was puzzled.

"What a place in the north that has been abandoned... Why do I have to stay in a place like this when I'm in the single digits!" The warrior was very displeased.

"Please... Excuse me... Everyone's rankings and names—" Gularis asked, slurching.

Unexpectedly, the three soldiers ignored her at all, and directly got up and walked out.

"Now the hunt for the Awoken begins. The previous warrior said, "Catch up, waste." ”

"Huh... Why so suddenly... I—" Gularis said hesitantly, but the three warriors were already out of the house, and Gularis had to panic and follow their pace.

"Yes... I'm sorry...", she didn't know what she was doing wrong, "that I... I don't know ...... yet."

Before she could finish speaking, her words were interrupted. If you're wrong, blame yourself for being too weak.

"If you don't want to die, you can move, and if you want to live, you can swing your sword. ”

"If you can't do it, then die. ”

Two sentences blocked anything else that Guralis wanted to say. She could only follow the three warriors towards a snowy mountain.

"The goal is halfway up this mountain... Although he didn't even participate in the Northern War seven years ago, he didn't have much ability, but don't be careless. "Apparently this fighter should be the captain of this operation.

"That's... That—" Guralis still wanted to ask something.

"Can I ask for advice? Even in this northern land that has no patience, it is obviously impossible for anyone to entrust it again, why is there still the act of hunting the Awakened?"

No one answered themselves. "Please... Excuse me......"

"I'm so annoyed, who's going to explain it to her?" the captain said, and a warrior with a boy's head turned his head sideways and began to explain.

"Since the Northern War seven years ago, the idea of the organization has been different..."

"Until then, the Awoken didn't like to be in groups, we went our separate ways, and we were no different from demons who only came out to make trouble when they were happy. ”

"But seven years ago, the Awakened suddenly gathered in this land, and none of the twenty-five warriors who fought against them survived. ”

"From now on, the organization dish does not regard the awakened as the same existence as the demon... The policy was changed to an attitude of actively going hunting as soon as information was obtained. ”

Gularis's expression was a little surprised, or even scared.

"Ahh But I... I haven't heard anything yet......" she still wanted to speak. only to find that the advancing team suddenly stopped.

A large black silhouette loomed in the wind and snow.

"I can save the effort of climbing the mountain. The captain spoke softly.

"Wow!" Gularis began to see a giant mantis-like creature with a black body, or more precisely, the Awakened.

"Don't freeze! Disperse quickly!" Hearing the captain say this, all the soldiers took action. At the same time, the two giant chelices of the Awoken smashed into the place where they had stood.

Only Gularis was attacked by the Awoken and fell to the ground in one fell instant.

"Captain, forty-seven!" called a soldier.

"Leave her alone! she doesn't have a chance to do it anyway!"

The two warriors struck the flanks of the Awoken, and the captain leaped into the air.

"The Secret Sword... "The captain's body stabbed down almost instantly!
