By this time, it was already dawn.

Nocturnal monsters have gone into complete hiding, while daytime monsters have become active, searching for food in forests, plains, grasslands, and so on.

If you were a smart person, you wouldn't have entered these areas, lest you become a meal for hungry monsters.

However, it was in this situation that a figure appeared in a suburb near the forest.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ......"

A young girl was pulling another, smaller girl, panting for breath as she ran wildly in such a place.

"Sister......!"

It seems that the little girl who is only about ten years old is pulled by her sister, and it can even be said that she is dragging and running, which makes her scream.

The girl couldn't let her sister stop.

Or rather, she didn't dare to stop.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

The girl can only whip her heart that is about to soften, and let her sister continue to run forward.

No way.

Otherwise, the sisters would soon die.

"Stop!"

"Damn stinky girl!"

Finally, death caught up.

Those were two knights.

The knights wore standard armor and held long swords, but their speed was not affected by the heavy armor at all, and they were much faster than a healthy adult, and they knew at a glance that they were well-trained.

But such two knights, with hideous faces at this time, kept chasing the two sisters in front of them.

With a cold murderous look in their eyes and blood on the swords they were holding, they told others what they wanted to do to the weak sisters.

And behind the two men, in a small village, there were faint screams, making the air seem to be stained with blood.

The girl's heart was almost torn apart by grief.

Because she knew that in the village where the screams were coming now, there were not only her parents, but also the neighbors who used to smile kindly at her.

But now they are being subjected to unjustified violence, brutal and merciless slaughter.

And the people who did all this were none other than these executioners who were obviously knights defending their homes and defending the country, but were doing the work of robbers.

The armor-clad Grim Reaper caught up with the two sisters and appeared in front of them, looking at them condescendingly, his eyes full of indifference and even indignation that had cost him unnecessary effort.

There is only no reverence for life, and there is no shame for what you have done.

Seeing such a knight's posture, no matter who is able to immediately grasp one thing.

That is, it is useless to beg for mercy.

They are the Grim Reaper, beings who come only to harvest life.

Even if there were two weak girls in front of them, and a little girl about ten years old, there was not a trace of softness on their faces, as if it was not a human being that was about to be slaughtered, but livestock.

The girl immediately gave up all luck and the idea of begging for mercy, and pushed her sister out of her arms.

"Let's go! Hurry up!"

"Sister!"

The girl was already able to see herself lying in a pool of blood, gave up her resistance, pushed her sister away, and let her live as long as she could.

But how could the young sister leave her sister alone in such a situation?

So, the young sister desperately hugged her sister and refused to let go.

The girl was anxious, so she had to protect her sister to the death, and with the most vicious eyes in her life, she stared at the killer in front of her unyieldingly.

"Die."

The knights ignored the girl's last look of resistance, one stood there sneering, and the other raised his sword high, ready to deliver the final blow to the weak life in front of him.

"God......

The girl closed her eyes and prayed to the sky as she felt her sister's body temperature in the face of the final countdown to death.

"Whew!"

The knight's sword ignored the maiden's prayers, nor was it hindered by any miracle, and fell mercilessly like the scythe of death, as if mocking the maiden's final actions.

The girl's last prayer failed to summon God's mercy.

However, God does not have mercy, but there are people who have mercy.

"Qiang—"

A crisp sound like the clash of gold and iron suddenly appeared, like an echo, echoing throughout the outskirts of the forest.

"What?"

"Y-Who are you!?"

The exclamations of the knights suddenly reached the ears of the girl with her eyes closed.

The girl did not feel the pain of her body being cut by a sharp object, but felt a gentle breath.

The aura was in front of her, like her father who had just stood in front of the knight in order to get them a chance to escape.

「…… Huh?"

The girl opened her eyes tremblingly and saw a back.

A back that is completely different from his father, but taller, more upright, and more secure. ….

He stood in front of the maiden and faced the two knights.

One of the two knights couldn't help but take a step back, and the other had a drastic change in complexion.

And rightfully so.

If someone blocks a sword that can easily cut through a human body with their hands, then whoever is the opponent of this person will have such a reaction.

And that's what's happening now.

"Are you alright?"

Calm words sounded softly.

The owner, who looked more reliable than his father, turned sideways and looked at the two girls who had fallen to the ground.

He was younger than the girl imagined, even as if he was the same age as herself.

His physique is not burly, and his sense of presence is not strong, which makes people wonder if he has seen some apparitions.

But such a young man who was roughly the same age as the girl, at this moment, not only stood in front of the two knights, but also ignored them, completely as if they did not exist.

In the hands of such a young man, with two fingers, he pinched the sword that the knight had just chopped.

"You ......"

The girl was stunned.

"Let it go!"

The knight who was holding the sword roared angrily, and with all his strength, desperately tried to pull the sword back.

"Ahh

Another knight, who had just taken a step back, held a long sword in his hand and swung a slash at the young man who suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in front of the two of them at some point.

"Be careful!"

The girl saw this scene and exclaimed.

However, the boy did not even glance at the two knights, but looked sideways at them, and stretched out the finger of his other hand to the knight who rushed towards him.

"Lightning strikes."

In the sound of a soft chant, the young man's finger reaching out to the knight suddenly flashed with lightning.

In the next second, the electric light burst out.

"Poof!"

As a bolt of lightning burst out from the boy's fingertips, the knight who rushed towards the boy was hit by lightning and was pierced through his chest, splattering a large amount of blood.

Lightning pierced through his back and shot at a nearby tree, cutting it off at the waist.

"Ugh...... Ah......h

The knight's charging figure froze there, blood spurting from his mouth and nose, his eyes widening as if they were about to burst, and it wasn't long before he fell to the ground, losing his breath.

「————」

Quiescence.

At this moment, whether it was a girl or a knight who was holding the blade of the sword and still struggling there vigorously, and was about to withdraw his sword, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

The girl only felt that the situation in front of her was full of unreality.

When he was about to be killed, a boy of the same age suddenly appeared and pinched the sharp blade with his fingers, and at the same time sent lightning from the fingers of the other hand, piercing the body of the knight who had just been like a god of death.

Even the knight let out a cry when he understood what was happening.

"This—this is third-order magic? You're the highest level of magic bard!?"

These words were exchanged for the young man's eyebrows.

"The highest-ranking magic bard? Do you mean this level?"

The boy was noncommittal to the knight's words, and laughed as if he were not smiling.

"No, even if the natives of this world have never seen magic above the seventh rank, then at least don't treat magic of this level as the highest level of magic, okay?"

"To your level, if you want to call a magic chanter the highest level of existence, you have to at least see the fifth-order magic, right?"

"Like, this."

The boy pointed his electric finger at the knight.

"Dragon Thunder."

Suddenly, a more violent and dazzling electric light burst out of the boy's fingertips.

"Fifth-order magic!?"

The knight finally let out a scream.

"Are you a magic bard in the Hero Realm......!?"

The knight fled.

Throwing down his sword, he fled in disarray.

But no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't be faster than thunder and lightning.

"Boom!"

The dragon-shaped lightning struck the knight in the back, causing him to scream in the lightning.

Then, he fell to the ground and died.

It's like talking
