I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. There was no alarm ringing, nor any roar thundering. I listened carefully, but I didn’t feel anything unusual. The only thing I could hear was the breathing of Suzume and the others sleeping in the next room, separated by a single sheet of tent cloth.…
After hearing Joel’s story, I harbored doubts about the Temple of Law. However, I also understood that my doubt was based on one-sided information from the Black Knight before me. To take one side’s opinion as the truth and to direct doubt towards the other side, wouldn’t be fair. Joel did not seem to be…
“――Where did you get this?” The identification badge of the “Silver Star”, which the White Knight Arrow was supposed to wear until his dying moment. How should I interpret the fact that it is in the hands of the leader of the “Desert Hawk”? As I pondered such things, I naturally asked a question. Then,…
Three days had passed since I parted ways with Cardinal Sylara. We relocated our base to an oasis in the desert known as Reero, continuing our search for the Behemoth and the “Silver Star.” We weren’t forced to leave Berka by the cardinal. However, it was clear that if we, who had been living in…
It goes without saying, the rule that the God of Law governs is law. And Wisteria and I, having caused a large scuffle in the pleasure district resulting in casualties, have violated this law.

If you ask me what my purpose is,…
For Wisteria, it was undoubtedly the worst night of her life. Being possessed by a demon spirit was already a nightmare, yet she was cut, struck, kicked, and pierced by something that overpowered even that demon, so much so that there was not a part of her that wasn’t in pain. Having fought countless monsters…
“Devour it all, Soul Eater.” As soon as I drew my sword, a darkness that could envelop the night covered the streets of Berka. The demonic beast head, which had been scattering disturbing laughter until now, stopped suddenly. Its glowing red eyes stared intently at me. As soon as I was struck by its sharp…
“GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHHH!!” A roar not of my own bursts forth from my mouth. “HEEEE! HEEEEHEEEEEE!!” Laughter not of my own wells up from within me. I understand the cause. A malevolent spirit, a Demon, crawling out from the bottom of hell, driving the forest, the spirits, the people, into madness. “It”, the entity that has latched…
