Let me explain a little about this world.
　The area where many races live is about the size of a small continent in the world.
　In terms of area, it is about the size of the Australian continent. A mountain range rises from the east to the north, and beyond that is a vast untouched area, the Far Flan Deep Green Zone.
　The mountain range begins around the magical kingdom of Solistair, and the Imperial Kingdom of Atrum is a basin completely within the mountain range. The neighboring kingdom of Issaras can be reached safely from the plains of Metis, but the Great River of Aurus flows through the mountains.
　The Kingdom of Solstair, with its relatively gentle mountains, could be said to be the country facing the danger zone, but in fact, the most dangerous country in terms of demon attacks is the Kingdom of Metis.
　The main reason for this is the ravine known as the [Evil God's Clawprint], which stretches from the Imperial Kingdom of Atrum right up to the Holy Law Kingdom of Metis in the form of a gouge, and vicious demons appear from the Great Dark Green Zone of Fafran.
　The width of the Auras River narrows as it reaches the upper reaches, making it useless as a defense. This is even more so against flying demons.

　The Imperial Kingdom of Atrum is a basin surrounded by mountains, a natural fortress state. The Kingdom of Isaras was also surrounded by steep mountains in three directions, and the only trade route was through the Holy Law Kingdom of Metis.
On the side of the magical kingdom of Solistea, powerful demons appear, but most of them are powerless and have been chased away from the Great Deep Green Zone. A disaster-grade demon would only appear once every thousand years.
In other words, there is no other route for a demon that can cause damage on the scale of a disaster to appear with its own face, other than the [Evil God's Claw], and the demon that appeared during the previous invasion of the Atrum Empire has swarmed the Evil God's Claw and begun to overrun the Metis Holy Law God Country.
　The demon's name is the Great Givellion. As the name suggests, it is a giant cockroach.
　It was approaching one of the cities with a large family.

　This day, the Mercenaries Guild was joined by a number of other mercenaries.

　On this day, a mercenary showed up at the mercenary guild.
　He was so exhausted that he looked like he was about to collapse, and while many mercenaries were watching him, he struggled to squeeze out his words while breathing hard.
　At that time, no one knew that this was the beginning of a nightmare.

"Hey, Hells...... Legion....... Now ...... they are in this ...... city ..........

　With that one word, the noisy Mercenary Guild branch fell silent.
[Hells Legion]. It was the worst word that could bring ruin, and the bell that signaled the beginning of a nightmare.
　Led by the vicious higher demons, the lower demons swarmed and overran. It was worse than a demon running amok, it was a natural disaster of the worst kind.
　As the name implies, it is an army of hell.

"Hell's Legion"?　So what kind of demon caused the Legion? ......
"Gre ......, Great ........., Givlion ........ There are already ...... multiple villages in .......
What the hell ...... is .........?

　The Great Givlion.
　It is an insect-type demon that is said to have individuals up to over a hundred meters in length.
　This is a great way to make sure that you don't end up in a situation where you're not the only one. As soon as they are born, they seek food and devour other plants and animals.
　Most of them are called "die-cockroaches" or "king chabane," and they swarm into the village. Humans will be preyed upon without leaving any bones.
　Although it is a cockroach-type monster, this species is a voracious eater, and it will not stop feeding until it grows up and starts hunting in groups.
　Moreover, other subordinate species do not want to leave the swarm, probably because they can protect themselves with the largest gibbons.
　They attack the Citadel in packs. Humans are helplessly fed and eaten alive.

Evacuate now!　We need to evacuate! --------!

　The Mercenary Guild is in a panic.
　The guildmaster reported the emergency to the lord, and the city gates were immediately closed and the knights went into a defensive position, but this was a bad move.
　Givellion's greatest threat is its ability to fly, despite its huge size.
　No matter how much we closed the outer walls and gates to block the way of entry, it would be useless against an insect that could climb the walls. Moreover, if they invade from the sky, we are helpless.
　The trouble is that this swarm will eventually divide into several groups and spread to various places, causing the damage to continue to increase.
　Even if one of them is not very strong, if their number swells to thousands or tens of thousands, it will be a disaster of unprecedented scale. After all, they spawn while moving. They spawn while attacking the city, and within a few hours they hatch and join the swarm. They will continue to advance in greater numbers.
　If this were a war between humans, there would be a way to stop it, but since it was a natural disaster brought about by living things, there was nothing we could do to stop it. Another city would disappear from the map.
　While this news reached His Holiness Mikhailov in the national capital of Maha Rutat, five fortified cities would be destroyed.
　The calamity of Metis will never end.

　...

　While Xellos was defeating the heroes and escorting them on the road to the capital city of Eartha, Metis was in turmoil again.
　The reconstruction of the country had been slow due to the recent earthquake, and now the Hells Legion had followed suit.
　By the time this report came in, five cities had already been destroyed. All of them are fortified cities protected by strong outer walls, and the scale of the damage to other small towns and villages is immeasurable.
　The only thing I can tell you is that this Great Givellion is the same demon that appeared on the occasion of the previous faith in the Atrum Empire and destroyed the Holy Order.
　The trouble is, it's so strong that even if you mobilize all your heroes, you won't be able to beat it, and it's a monster that can destroy a fort by itself. Such demons are threatening the Kingdom of God with their hordes.



"Torus, Iqhamat, Mehtzatta, Alhammer, ......, and Kurfhamber. Probably already destroyed. ......
"Too soon!　What's with the rapidity of this advance ......?
It's G....... It will be fast.
"d*mn ......, we'll never get there in time. I'm not sure what to make of it.

　It's a demon that kills even the bravest of the brave. The holy knights of the Holy Order have no chance.
　The Holy Knights of the Holy Order would not stand a chance.
　In addition, His Holiness Mikhailov is a religious leader, and is as much of a tactician as an amateur. In the past, the war was somehow possible because of the presence of brave men and other generals, but the Holy Knights were destroyed by the beastmen in the invasion of the Atrum Empire and the Battle of Ruda Ilulu, and now they are in need of manpower.
　You can find a lot more information on this site.

"Why?" ....... Why is this happening to me ......?

　In the past few months, the disasters that have occurred in the past few months have put Mikhailov in a difficult position.
　The Divine War against the Imperial Kingdom of Atrum, which he invaded with the greatest strength he could muster by summoning his heroes.
　However, many forces were lost in that battle, and there was not enough time to rebuild.
　The biggest miscalculation of the battle was that all of the people of the Atrum Empire were on the same level as the heroes. Since they were fighting demons that appeared through the claws of the evil gods, their level would be high.
　In the name of paganism, they didn't get enough information about the hypothetical enemy country and relied on the heroes to march in, and the result was devastating damage. That's when things started to get ugly.

　The Battle of Ruda Ilulu, in which we threw all our strength we had. However, he was completely defeated in this battle, and learned of the existence of a powerful enemy, the reincarnated.
　The existence of a race of beastmen who are not good at magic, and who are given magical tools on the scale of fortresses, can only be called a threat. He puts all the blame on Iwata the Brave, but it doesn't mean that the lost strength will actually come back.

"If we don't invade the Luda Ilulu Plains, ....... If we hadn't invaded the Luda Ilulu Plains, we would still have had the strength to do so. ......

　In terms of strength, they were more than capable of defeating the beastmen.
　The sacred magic specializes in healing and defense, and should be able to raise the strength of the holy knights. The reason for this was that they judged that they would not be as much of a threat to the beastmen as they had been in the past.
　However, the presence of the reincarnated turned the board upside down and inflicted a devastating and painful defeat (counter). Who could have predicted the existence of a fortress-sized magic tool?
　The reincarnated were outside the bounds of common sense, and at that time, they did not yet know of the threat. No, they didn't even think that such a ridiculous existence existed.
　However, what came next was an earthquake that devastated the country's political economy, and destroyed the magic circle that was used to summon the heroes. When they began to realize that this was the work of the reincarnated, they realized the threat.
　They felt the malicious intent of the reincarnation, which was clearly against them.

Just when we had managed to stabilize the economy, this happened: ....... It's going to haunt us forever. ......

　And then there's Hell's Legion.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　I'm not sure what to make of it. If we were to gather forces now, we would be neglecting the rebuilding of the country.
　But we can't abandon our people. But we can't abandon our people, because Mikhailov is obsessed with leaving his mark on history above all else.

Why? ....... Why this monster now?
I've heard reports of this monster appearing during the invasion of the Atrum Empire.
But I'm sure other demons have been confirmed to exist. Why is Givellion the only one attacking us?
I'm not sure what to make of this.　It's almost as if they were in sync with our progress. ...... No way!
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.　If you're not careful, you'll be caught in the middle!

　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　The invasion of the Atrum Empire would be immediately discovered by the Roofail who could fly.
　If that were to happen, they would need a strategy to overcome the overwhelming amount of material. In order to fill the gap in strength, they induced demons, the survivors of which have now begun to invade as the Hells Legion.
　It is highly likely that the Imperial side of Atrum intentionally left Givlion, a huge body that is difficult to defeat, unattended.
　Not only that, but it is also possible that they intended it as a painful counterattack after inflicting a devastating blow. If that were the case, then the Atollum Empire would know a great deal about the biology of demons.

The strength of those demons is comparable to that of a hero. The strength of those demons is comparable to that of a brave man. If they fight against incomparable demons, they will become stronger.
If this is true, then the reason why no demons have appeared from the evil god's claw marks up until now is because they were prevented by them, right?　That's ridiculous. ......
No, perhaps we have made a big mistake. If the Atrum Empire has been keeping the demons at bay, it is possible that they have grown tired of us and have led them away.
It's as if you're saying that if it weren't for us, they would have already perished. The demons are ......
But it's more likely than not, given the circumstances. There is nothing we can do to stop the Hells Legion. Even if our forces were intact, it's doubtful we'd be able to stop them.

　This is getting disturbing.
　If, as the priests had said, the Atorum Empire had stopped the demons from appearing from the Evil God's Claw marks, then the position of Mikhailov, who had given permission for the Atorum Empire to wage war against it, would be in jeopardy. This is because, according to the doctrine, it is virtuous to repay goodness with goodness.
　If the demons were protecting their own lives, it would be wrong for them to have discriminated against different races. And it means that they have been abandoned by the greatest shield that protected their lives.
　Incidentally, the Imperial Kingdom of Atrum was only defeating the demons that might threaten them, not protecting the Holy Law Kingdom of Metis.
　However, if you look at the results, the fact that they were protecting the people living in the plains is not a mistake.


　They are always fighting against powerful demons that bring disaster. And they can always lead them against us.
　It was only a matter of time before the priests came to the conclusion that they should not have turned against the Atrum Empire.

It was only a matter of time before they reached the conclusion that the priests should not have turned against the Atorum Empire. But they are pagans. Isn't it our duty to guide them to the right path?
"But, Your Eminence. If it destroys our country, it will be the end of the world. Shouldn't we have been more friendly?　We're in a tight spot as a result.
Nuh-uh. ......
"It's as if they're saying 'know your place'. Godd*mn .......

　There's no point in swearing against the Atrum Empire, because they've already turned against you.
　They have no intention of defeating the demons on Metis's side, and would rather be happy to see them destroyed. Since they have done so much, they have no right to complain to the priests.

There is nothing they can do about it now. The question is how to get through this national crisis. ......
Why don't we ask for help from other countries?　I'm sure they'd be more than happy to lend a hand if they knew it would be a blessing in disguise.
I don't think so. Neighboring countries are already distrusting us and have begun selling recovery magic. If this continues, the value of sacred magic will drop as well. It's a grave situation.
"We probably won't be sending reinforcements. We can't afford to waste valuable resources.

　Magical healing by priests is quite expensive. There is a big gap between priests and priestesses in the magic they can use. For this reason, priests were favored in emergencies, and their ability to use more restorative magic made them more useful to other nations.
　Those who heal with sacred magic are limited to the nobility, wealthy merchants, or royalty. There are few priests who can heal ordinary people, and ordinary citizens are often under the care of medicines prepared by priests or subordinate recovery spells.
　But even so, there were many who could not afford the cost of healing. There was a calculation to enrich their finances, and they were ripping off the people of other countries.
　Most of the priests who gave charity to the poor were those whom Mikhailov had ostensibly sent to other countries under the guise of proselytizing, and they had no small amount of dissatisfaction with the Holy Priesthood of Metis.
　It's unlikely that they'll make any effort to help us, and there's a high possibility that they'll take advantage of this opportunity to intervene politically if we make a poor request for help. Even if we were to inform them of the urgency of the situation, there is not enough time.
　In effect, the government has been making enemies both within and without, and most of the priests who have been sent to other countries have decided to stay permanently. Even if they were to lend a hand, the country would be destroyed before they could.
　The size of the country has become a liability.

You can't do anything about it,......, but you have to rely on the Bloodline Alliance. We have to prevent further damage.

　Mikhailov decided to move the fanatics.
　They are ostensibly Inquisitors, but in reality they are dangerous people who kill in the name of God.

Call Joss Falk, Chief Priest of the Inquisition: ....... I need a man now.
You want him?
I have to protect my people at all costs. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to protect them.

　Joss Falk, the head of the Inquisition, is a faithless murderer whose aberrations are considered dangerous even by the priests.
　He is ostensibly a devout believer, but in reality he is a psychopath who takes pleasure in killing people.
　He gets pleasure and s*xual arousal whenever he sees people suffering and seeking salvation through the mercy of death, and he is intoxicated with a sense of omnipotence and control by taking their lives.
　The reason why such people are given preferential treatment is to wipe out dissenters.
　To control poison with poison. But that's a far cry from faith, that's for sure. But such a maniac was just the right person to take charge of the dirty side of politics.

　Some time later, the Inquisition called in the Inquisitor, the High Priestess Josefolk.
　A maniacal pleasure-seeker who knew that he was just a disposable pawn, and who never forgot to satisfy his own desires from those in power, was unleashed because of the national crisis.


　I'm sure you'll agree.

Some sacrifices are acceptable: ....... If it were a human being, I'd enjoy it, but it's a pain in the ass.

　He is a middle-aged man with fine eyes who looks like a good person. He looks like an ordinary priest, but he is the head of the Inquisition, and he is the priest who monitors the Blood League.
　His appearance belied the violent tone of his voice.
　The Blood League was a group of extremist fanatics. By adding the Inquisition, which was also an underworld organization, they were able to rebuild it into a well-organized organization.
　Furthermore, by granting them immunity, they were given official knighthoods to eliminate those who were inconvenient.
　The main organization was an assassination squad using criminals, but with the guarantee of the four gods, they were able to justify their atrocities and happily indulge in the pleasure killing of the gods.
　But this time, they didn't want to do it.
　After all, they were dealing with a huge number of insectoid demon creatures. I don't think I can handle them no matter how many sacrifices I make.
　The pleasure killers get pleasure from watching people suffer and beg for mercy. He had no desire to deal with insects that showed no emotion, and above all, it was a boring job.
　But he couldn't turn down the job because he was in a position where he was allowed to kill out in the open. If he refused, he would be executed.

I took this job because I can kill people. I took this job because I can kill people. Why should I have to deal with bugs? ......



　He's a murderer who takes unusual pleasure in causing others pain.
　I don't remember making a contract to deal with the Hells Legion. I would have been better off hiding in the city and kidnapping and murdering people.
　I thought about running away, but if I crossed into another country, I would be captured and executed first.
　This is the only country where he can kill in the name of the cause. In fact, he is a wanted man in some countries. However, dealing with demons was not my specialty.

　Depressed, Jospholk descended the stairs to the basement and opened the door to the room at the end of the underground passage.
　It was a so-called torture chamber, and the priests, who were also Inquisitors, were gathered around a table.
　Fortunately, no one was being tortured by them at the moment, but it was a wicked room filled with the rusty autumn rain of blood. The room was filled with bizarre tools, and it was truly bizarre and crazy.

What's wrong with you, head? What's wrong with your face?
"You're not looking too good, are you? What do you want us to do, ......?
Oh my god, that's the worst. I'd run, wouldn't you?
I want to run, too. I took this job because I enjoy killing. But it's gonna suck. There's nothing you can do about Givellion. That's absurd. ......
"It's the biggest monster of all time. It's too much for us pre-criminals to handle.

　It's too much for a mere murderer to take on a pack of demons.
　They are people who enjoy torturing heretics under the guise of condemning them. They have no appetite and no motivation to fight against demons.
　The easiest way to escape is to run away, but under the contract of the [indulgence], wherever they run away to, their whereabouts will be identified.
It's a kind of contract magic, so it's only applicable in Japan. It is a kind of contract magic, so if you deviate from the terms of the contract, you will experience severe pain in your body.
　In other words, they are in a position not much different from slaves. They are treated well.

"Huh, bugs are no fun to deal with. I like cutting up kids. ......
"I enjoy killing women while playing with them, too.　That's a big cockroach. ......
"Why the hell did you take this job? We can't do it.
I don't want to take this job either!　I don't want to take this job either, but I can't give it up because of the contractual effect of immunity!
Government work is hard. ......

　They may be good at torturing people to indulge in pleasure killing, but they're not mercenaries.
　They can't fight for their lives against demons, they are no better than ordinary people, except that they are obsessed with killing people. If they lose their position, they are just criminals.
　And if their contracts are broken, they are immediately executed as criminals.

In short, they're disposable. I can't think of anything better to do. ......

　The Hell's Legion is a swarm of powerful, superior species, some of which die along the way.
　Because of the sheer number of demons in the group, it is naturally difficult to secure food. Weak individuals starve to death, and their corpses are devoured by their own kind, transforming them into powerful demons.
　Eventually, the herd will disperse out of instinct and spread throughout the country as multiple armies.
　Now is not the time for the herd to break up, but if it spreads, it will become unmanageable. Therefore, the usual method is to eradicate them as soon as possible, but there was no one who could do that.
　There was no one who could do it. They were given the task because there was not enough strength, and there was nothing they could do if they asked the murderers to do something about the demons.

So, why don't we just leave it to other countries?
What?

　It was a woman who had recently been sent to the Inquisition who advised the hapless Joss Falk. She was a beautiful, dark-haired woman with a soft face, but he instinctively knew that she was a corrupt person just like him.
　She seems to have been an assassin in the magical kingdom of Solistea, and escaped to the Holy Law Kingdom because she was wanted. He is abnormally obsessed with money, and is even willing to kill and take what he wants.
　He was recruited by the Inquisition because of his outstanding abilities as an assassin.

What do you mean by "throw the whole thing"?　You can't control a bunch of demons.
You can guide them, you know.　I can guide them, with my evil perfume.
But it's gonna cost us. I'm not ready to die. I'm not gonna die.
The League of Blood?　Use those fanatics, they'll be happy to oblige. It's easy to say the oracle told us to turn the demons against the pagans.
"I see. They're religious nuts anyway. Would you be willing to die for them?
Then we'll take a town and have some fun. We can do whatever we want, right?　You can kill all you want.

　With that one word, a dangerous glint appeared in the eyes of the killers.
The evil perfume is a forbidden potion that attracts demons, but at the same time, there is a perfume to avoid demons called the "Demon Scent".
　By using this, you can make a small town a safe zone. In the midst of a Legion outbreak, you can get drunk on bizarre carnage in a safe place.
　It was a very appealing proposal.

"Hee hee hee hee!　I haven't killed in a while, so I'm in a good mood.


"Kukku......, right. I'm saying it doesn't matter how. Let's have some fun here.
"A child ...... can kill another child. I've got an unintentional boner. Gee whiz.
"Oh, I'll take the money, okay?　You just want to kill me, don't you?
You're a scary woman, you know that? I'll give you half the money. I'll give you half the money. It's carnage. ...... We can kill again.

　She was crazy.
　They're madmen who take unusual pleasure in killing. Occasionally they torture those in the blood league, but basically they find pleasure in killing the unarmed.
　This time, it is so important that the country will be destroyed, and even if there are tortured bodies among them, the demons will dispose of them.
　In the midst of such an important event that could destroy the country, it will be treated as a trivial matter.

Yes, ....... It's better to take it to Solstice Magic Kingdom if possible. If the villages and towns of that country are destroyed, there will be no inconvenience to this country, right?　Because the demons are just attacking on their own.
"Hahahahahahaha!　That's right. The sooner we decide that, the sooner we'll move. Let the feast begin!

　Joss Falk gave the order with a beastly look on his face.
　Malice has been set in motion. But the magical kingdom of Solistair doesn't know this yet.

　I'll be back.

　Reimi Osako. The player's name is [Sharanra].
　She is one of the reincarnated people who were thrown into this world, and she is a common b*tc*.
　She went to her brother, Satoshi, to borrow money to pay off her debts, but had to give it up because she was living on her own.
　After that, he moved from place to place while being chased by black money collectors, and happened to seduce an otaku on his way back from Comiket and became his housemate. It was around this time that I started Sword and Sorcery.
　I played with her all day long, acting the part of a good-hearted woman, while trying to win over the landlord with my words. Naturally, her avatar was that of a bandit, and she changed her job to that of an assassin.
　In a sense, she became a skilled player, acquiring equipment and items without spending a penny. Her nickname is "Meg-chan the Assassin".
　When she is transported to this world, she is in the middle of targeting a top player.
　And in this other world, she is reunited with the worst of them all. Yes, her brother, the top player. Xellos, who goes by the name of "The Annihilator.
　As soon as she met him, he was hit by a motorcycle and tried to kill her without question. And she did it with a really nice smile.
　What's more, the problem is that she was rejuvenated by the Secret Potion of Rejuvenation.
　This potion was actually a faulty product, and although it did indeed rejuvenate the user, it had the side effect of making the user two or three times as old as they were when they were rejuvenated.
　In other words, it shortens one's life span.
　She unilaterally assumed that she had an item that could counteract the effects of the potion, and wandered around looking for Xellos, but she was wanted for attempting to assassinate a blood relative of the duke's family.
　As a result, she had no choice but to flee the magical kingdom of Solistair. With only a limited amount of time left in her life, she has no time to spare.

　And now...

I'm going to smoke you out, ......!

　--She had a grudge against Zeroth.

While playing Sword and Sorcery, she had been PKK'd by all the Annihilators.
　In addition, she was forced to equip a cursed item, and was hung upside down from the top of the world tree with her fellow PKers and preyed upon alive by rock birds and demi-wolves.
　Furthermore, the cursed item could not be removed, and its gauge would accumulate with each PK, and when the limit was reached, the item would self-destruct. One of the Annihilators called it the "Curse of Ide".
　Even if you died, the curse would bring your status back to the initial level, and it also had a funny effect of making your hair style bomber. It's a very fine trick.
　In real life, other bounty hunters would chase you.
　Chased by debt collectors in real life, chased by bounty hunters in the game, and chased by the Grim Reaper in the other world.
　There's nothing you can do to save yourself, but it's your own fault. However, she has a soft spot for herself, and by holding a grudge against Xellos, she has managed to survive.

My brother is nothing but a tool. And yet you defy me, just watch. I will avenge you!

　He's a real piece of work.
　But she's forgotten. She forgets that her brother is an annihilator. .......
　And that in a way he is the one who understands her the most.
　Above all, she doesn't know that there is an overwhelming difference in levels. She is not a gamer after all.
　A reckless revenge game with a low success rate was about to begin.
