“Prepare for sortie immediately?” At the airship dock in Crossroad. Kellibey asked me with a look of disbelief. “Are you serious? Gold and Silver are still not fully trained. They’re like newborn airships that have only been tested a few times!” Gold and Silver are the names of the two escort ships of Geronimo. They…

Right after returning to Crossroad. “Mourning comes after the battle is over.” After announcing the death of the Insect Busters, I gritted my teeth and gave orders. “We need to gather information.” Everyone’s face turned pale as they focused on my words.

The giant head of the King of Flies exploded into pieces. We all held our breath and watched this spectacle. In a moment of silence, I swallowed dryly. The massive body of the King of Flies, now headless, staggered. The halos that were rotating above stopped altogether, and the infinite orbits behind it gradually came…

When Candler came to her senses, she was sitting in a bustling tavern. “Come on, let’s toast first!” “Cheers~!” “You’ve worked hard today too!” The ‘uncles’ party vigorously clinked their glasses together. Nobody, Chain, Zenis, and Torkel were sitting at one table, lifting their beer glasses. Candler, who had been dragged along somehow, also raised…

Crossroads. Loot Warehouse. This place is piled with various materials and items retrieved from monsters. “…” I am inspecting the goods recovered from previous defense battles. I hadn’t properly organized the loot accumulated from stages 31 to 34 during the four defense battles, so I was setting aside time to sort through it. ‘The next…

The demon race possesses its own unique authority. This power, known as ‘Sacrifice,’ allows the caster to recover or enhance their strength by sacrificing their own kind. Demons fundamentally receive sacrifices from their worshippers, using these offerings to grow their own power, making them a race that flourishes on the act of sacrifice. The ‘Sacrifice’…
