I'm looking at a man who is right in front of us. This man fits the description of a certain tribe that Miss Helen described to me. If I'm not mistaken, this man is ... a demon.

　The country where the demon race lives, the Demon Kingdom of Tempest. West of the Arcadia Papal States, north of the Regalia Empire. And the country ruled by the Demon King. The number of people are less than other races, but each one of them are quite high in ability, they have a certain amount of ability when they are children, and although they can't reach the level of elves, they are said to be a race with quite a long life span.

　But right now, they must be at war with the Arcadia Papal Kingdom and the Regalian Empire. Why are they in the Kingdom of Nanor?　And alone. We think so, but we can't move while looking at the man of the demon tribe. We don't know what the purpose of this demon tribe is, so what should we do? I was just thinking about that when the demon tribe guy.

Hmmm, this is not good. I didn't expect to be seen. I was told by that person to act in such a way that he or she would not be seen. Hmm, what should I do?

　I think to myself, "I don't know what to do. For our part, we don't know what to do. I'd like to ask you why you're here, but I can't put everyone in danger. Everyone is moving away from us, little by little. They are ready to draw their weapons immediately.

　I also keep an eye on the man of the demon tribe, little by little, but I go to Elea, who was closest to me. And when I look at Elea for a bit.......hmm?　You look terribly surprised. Is it because this is the first time he's seen a demon race?　That's a first for me too, but I've never been so surprised. I wonder what's going on.

'Elea, are you okay?'

....

'Elea!　Are you okay!

Oh, Ray. Yeah, I'm fine.

　Elea returns it, but she's clearly not okay. Her complexion is turning blue. What the hell is wrong with you?

Are you sure you're okay?　You look pretty pale.

　And when I was talking to Elea.

'All right, here's what we're going to do. You're going to die here. If no one sees you, it won't be a problem.

　The man of the demon race looks at me with a smile. At that moment, the air around you changes all at once. It's a completely different atmosphere, as if you've moved to another space. The deadly air emitted from the man is so strong that you can feel it like that.

　Gosh, what a deadly atmosphere. I've been exposed to Master's murderous atmosphere, so I can somehow endure it, but everyone else is in trouble. They can't stand up because of this deadly atmosphere. Emma and Renee are hyperventilating. We just have to get them away from here!

"Everyone get out of here, now!　Daegris, Kate!　Quickly, take Renee and Emma and retreat!

　I exclaim. But

"Hmmm, because you think I'd let you do that?

　And then I noticed that he was in front of Emma, a man of the demon race. He has a knife in his hand that looks like a misfortune, and he tries to swing it at Emma. And he tries to swing it down at Emma. I'm not going to let you do that!　I used Naosama, physical enhancements, and swept Rowga away at the demon man. Rowga was stopped by the knife, but before long, Kate made Emma back down.

'You're doing pretty well inside. However,'
　
　The moment the man of the demon race said that.

　Guhaha!　A dull ache runs through my stomach and I'm blown away. It's like I've been kicked before I know it. I hit the tree and fall down. Gulp, the taste of iron spreads in my mouth. I spit it out and get up. I apply the high healing on my body grant. This will make the pain in my stomach go away.

　Immediately, I look at the demon man, and to prevent the demon man from chasing Dagris and the others, Elea, Bardon, and Shizuku are each facing each other at a ready position.

''Haaah!''

　Elea then swings down a Barbatos at the man of the demon tribe. He swung down a rock-shattering blow, but the demon man smiled and avoided it with room to spare. However, Elea knew that he would avoid it, or perhaps he knew that he would avoid it, so he drew it directly into his hands and released a side-nap. But that too is lightly avoided. But Shizuku moves to the point of the man's avoidance and swings out the sword he carries at his waist in one fell swoop. Iai. He unleashes a divine speed iai at the man of the demon race.

"Nah!

　However, even that iai was lightly received by the demon man with a knife.

''Hmmm, these are promising kids, aren't they? But it's a pity.

　and grabbed Shizuku's right arm, and then the knife.

Stop!

　Me, Elea, and Vardon headed in, but they couldn't get there in time. As it was, the demon man swung his knife towards Shizuku's right arm.

''Ah, ah!

　Shizuku squats and screams in too much pain. I give my body lightning magic and wind magic and charge the demon man.

''Me!''

　Then I slap Rowga down. The guy looks a little surprised, but he takes this one with the knife too. d*mn, I'm putting a lot of effort into it, but I don't freak out. Then the guy just waves his arm and it pops. A clear difference in strength. It's like I'm facing off against a master.

　While I was thinking about this, the demon man starts laughing while looking at me.

''Hmph, you don't need to get so angry. Her arm isn't broken.''

　I said. I immediately look at Shizuku's right arm........what!　It's definitely staying connected. So what was Shizuku's scream earlier?　And even now, it still hurts, or maybe it's just squatting down, holding back the cut. That scream was unusual. It sounded as if he had been cut off for sure. I was curious and looked at the knife the man was holding.

Do you understand?　This knife is a witchcraft tool, and when you cut a living creature, it can only make it feel pain, not real hurt. It's mainly used for torture, but it's my favorite.

　He's laughing at me. You're carrying around some creepy stuff. If it came down to it, I could connect them with my water magic method, but I couldn't reduce my magic power now.

　But what should we do? This man's strength is unfathomable. His actual strength is probably close to that of his master. Right now, he's playing around, but if he gets serious, he won't be able to compete with him. As I was thinking that, the demon man was staring at me. What is it?

You. I can sense a goddess in you. Do you happen to have a goddess' blessing on you?

　He asks, "What about it?

'What about it?'

　I'm not sure what the goddess's presence is, but if they know, there's no need to hide it. I'll be honest with you. Then the man's mood changes again. The atmosphere of the previous killing spree is now released to the extent that it feels like it was just a game.

'I was playing with you earlier, but I'll make sure to kill you alone. Abominable goddess apostle. You may disappear here!

　What a goddess apostle. While thinking about this, I was looking at the man of the demon tribe, and he suddenly disappeared in front of me. At that moment, a chill went through my neck and I instinctively jumped forward.

''Hou, do you want to avoid it?''

　I hear the voice of a man of the demon race from behind where I was. But when I turn around, he's already gone.

Guffaw!

　I get kicked away. I can feel the bones break in the area where I was kicked, meh. Since I'm giving it a high healing, it will recover, but it will still hurt. I quickly regain my position, but...

It's late.

　The man's knife moved in front of me and cut my left hand off my shoulder.

'Gah!'

　I scream from the pain, but I can't take my eyes off the man of the demon race. I swing the Rowga while enduring the pain, but there's no way such a thing will hit me, and my right hand holding the Rowga is cut off.

''.........!''

　The pain is so bad that I can't even speak at the earliest. Then he grabs me by the neck. I'm lifted off the ground, my feet off the ground.

'This is the end.'

　Then the demon man's knife plunged into my heart.
