Just at that moment, “Kyaaaaaaaah-!” A ghastly scream echoed through Crossroad. It was the death cry of Euryale, one of the three Gorgon sisters. The terrible roar resounded through the city’s skies, and all living beings had to shrink their shoulders under the overwhelming malice. “…?!” And then. Upon hearing that scream, Stheno, who had…

“Hey, you blind fool! What are you doing!” The remaining four members of the Blacklist on the rooftop showed evident signs of panic. They had agreed to just watch, but then, out of nowhere, the blind swordsman kicked off his spot and charged at the monster. “The Gorgon sisters are not something for us fools…

One day before. At the time of the operation briefing. “The core of the Gorgon sisters is the youngest, Medusa.” Lucas calmly continued his explanation. “The eldest, Stheno, and the second, Euryale, are extremely low in intelligence.

From a distance, they appeared as three similar monsters, but…

Right after Ash led the forces of the World Guardian Front and left Crossroad, there was a monster invasion. It was a situation that was safely defended. There were no casualties, and the fortress’s equipment was not destroyed at all. It was a perfect victory in the defense. A few weeks have passed since then….

In just a few days, things changed. Perhaps due to the return of the Emperor, who had governed the Empire all his life, the chaos in the Imperial Capital was quickly subdued.
