It was an abandoned church.

　The pews that would have been neatly arranged in the past were sparsely collapsed or pulled over the edge.

　In the deepest depths, the statue of the goddess Astaire was half-destroyed and eerily illuminated by moonlight.

　Beneath the statue was a man whose face was hidden in the shadows, and a dozen or so people were on one knee and one hand on the ground in front of him.

''What does this mean!''

　A shout of rage resounded out.

　That anger - was addressed to a group of demon tribe.

　The demons, who are supposed to be high in both pride and ability, are turning their faces down as they are told. It's proof that they cannot deny or rebel.

　So much so that the man who was shouting at them was exceptional.

'I thought two or three fronts could be defeated because the sword saints and saints would move ...... and that's all there was to it. And there's no way they'd accept a story about all the fronts being breached!

...... Sorry about that.

　The one who apologized for that was the demon tribe Luilde, who had won against two mercenary groups on the battlefield. He had escaped from the Sword Saint.

　However, that confident look was becoming faltering.

''I'm not asking for an acknowledgement, trash!

Guaht?

　The man throws a kick that strikes Luilde in the abdomen.

　Ruilde is blown away. He held his stomach in pain as he danced in the corner of the church, dust flying.

'Who the hell is that Jide guy!

''And the only thing I can find out is that he was a member of the Knights of the Kingdom of Kuzeera: ....... Moreover, the Order has collapsed, and for more information, please visit .......

　When asked, Luilde responds breathlessly as she straightens her posture.

'That's obviously a dummy!　If an entity as big as him belonged to the Order of One Nation, he would have been more famous!

'But before I joined the guild, my name really was ......'

I don't need excuses!

　The man kicks him off and Ruilde shuts down.

　Normally, the demon race cannot be defeated by the human race in an 'individual'.

　And yet, in the second and third areas, even a group of demon clans were defeated.

　By only one S-ranked adventurer named Jade.

"Hey, does that guy belong to any religion?

No, I'm not involved with ...... anywhere.

Okay. I won't be at the Great Sacred Prayer Place this time.

　The Great Holy Prayer Place.

　It is a prayer place with a giant statue of the goddess Astaire in the Holy Republic. It's like a square under the blue sky and can hold about 50,000 people.

　In rough years, it is opened to the public, and the first priest - now called Soria - offers words of prayer to the goddess Astaire, and the participants also offer prayers.

　This year is also being opened because it has been added to a rough year.

　And it's on a larger scale than in previous years.

　The half-destroyed kingdom of Kuzela

　Two crises hit the Holy Republic

　Transition at the top of the Weiler Empire

　Radical invasion of radical attacks by demons

　It is expected that people from not only the Holy Republic, but also from other countries will gather for this event.

　Although there is no management of the number of people applying to participate in the event as long as they are not inside or outside of the country, it was thought that the number of people would exceed 100,000.

　The representative place of the human race is the demon race.

　It was very out of place.

　However, when the moonlight shone on the man beneath the statue, his appearance was revealed.

'You're not going to interfere with your plans to commit a massacre and kill the symbol of the Astaire religion, Saint Thoria, and destroy the statue of the goddess Astaire, are you?

　The High Priest of Astaire - Zai Fonde.

　He was a key figure in the human race.

'Yes. No problem. The Seven Great Demon Lords--Lord Yusuf.

　Luilde was once again Fuelled.

　Yusef. That was Zay Fonde's real name and his name as a demon race.

''It's been a while since the Demon King was defeated by a hateful brave man. It's been a while since the Demon King was defeated by a hateful hero. At long last. Finally, the days of bitterness are over. ......!　This I can take the first step to becoming the Demon King!

　Youssef opened his hands wide and uttered a lofty proclamation.

　Steadily, they were making progress for the day.
