Before the raid began, a brief meeting was held for planning was made. With the help of a new comrade, the knight's strength increased. Beast men are half hybrids of humans and animals. Their body is naturally strong and sturdy. They would be great vanguards. The other force to fear was the cursed skeleton knight. Being immortal on the battlefield is already an advantage. A Skeleton knight does have immunity over almost everything except physical attacks. His weakness is only for him to know. His being secretive to Retto might be a sign of distrust, but that though doesn’t pass on to Retto’s mind. The Skeleton knight has pure devotion to his goddess. There is no way he's going to defy his goddess's wish.Skeleton knight and Retto have mutual faith in each other.“First of all, I’m apologizing for lying about my true name and for not being there with everyone during the time of tragedy.”Retto bowed his head to all the knights.Retto feels guilty and ready to accept all the blame every

“So much mess… I don’t even know what battle I should be watching.” The witch of the cosmos made a sigh of resignation. She reached out her hand to the teapot, refilling her teacup with freshly brewed tea. After sniffing the sweet aroma, she took a little sip and placed her cup back on the table. “I had foreseen Glenn’s revival, but never seen that he was going to take part in this battle… I did say revival. His clone does possess his memories before falling down the first dungeon of Zero. The Glenn in battle is no different from the actual real Glenn. Just like the real Glenn before. He does think about killing himself so that he’ll be reunited with the one he loves the most, Vell. But what if Vell was still alive… Oh? That could be a major spoiler… Sorry for speaking too much. For someone who knows everything in this universe… I slipped my tongue and said unnecessary things… Hey, are you weird outside? Yup, I’m talking to you observers of this world… Or should I say, reader…” The

“What is a world are you?” Nagu asked forcefully and followed with coughing of blood… Currently, his body is completely drenched in blood. On his body was a huge stalactite penetrating his body down to the ground similar to a nail. Right before he chanted his magic, he was sure that it would kill Artemisia. However, that was not the outcome. Something unexpected does happen. Nagu didn’t even see what she did. Artemisia is not an extraterrestrial that is for sure. Nagu’s head was filled with questions about how Artemisia survived the sea of flames without taking any significant damage. “...” Artemisia stays silent on the question. She stomps her foot on the head of the stalactite, further pushing the pointy rock. Blood flows out and pain courses through Nagu’s body. Nagu was unable to counter back for the reason that he does not have enough energy and magic in his body. He mostly drained his magic and energy after earlier. Instead of despairing that everything turned hopeless for h

“You’ve come here, Artemisia…”“I have some business to take care of here. I can’t leave until I make sure my target is dead… I was informed that the real demon king Luciferro is dead in the second dungeon. I’m quite surprised to see you here in the flesh.”“Are you going to kill me?”Artemisia pulled her sword away and instead grabbed his arm and tossed him toward the group of adventurers behind her.Glenn was caught by a giant armored knight. A healer immediately came to his rescue to heal his wound and restore his magic.“I have no interest in playing with you, miss hero.”The one Artemisia talking to was the woman leading the adventurers, The fourth hero, Lightcrest Ruti.Ruti had left Eden city because she wanted to give a helping hand to the kingdom where she was born. She left the city days before Retto and Falfa left.Just like Retto, she recruited talented adventurers to join her in her mission. The difference was that Retto’s faction was far too big. Ruti only has 7 people i

I want to die… I don’t want to live… I don’t want to… I won’t allow that… Retto is not allowed to give up. Crying is fine… But after crying, we must continue and survive. Find a way to solve our problems and achieve our goals. I’m just a stupid man who thinks and dreams of being a hero. I’m worthless. Everything will come falling and I can’t do anything about it. I’m telling you this because I want you to know that I’m here to believe in you. I’m here with you. Please don’t say things like running away. I’ll lead my ears and listen to you. If you want to cry, I’m here for you as always. I remember the time Falfa lent her ears to hear my pathetic self. That time I told her that I was in love with Dia. It must be hard for her to hear those words. During that time, I’m sure that I loved Dia more than anything. I didn’t notice. The reason why I was able to move forward during those despairing moments was that Falfa was at my side. The reason why I didn’t give Glenn the phoenix feat
