◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

I sipped my tea while looking out the window.

In the courtyard of Lionheart Fortress, I could see the members diligently sparring as they did every day.

Two weeks had already passed since then.

During that time, as if it were a lie, nothing had happened.

Perhaps they were prioritizing the recovery of their own wounds.

Two weeks, though a short time, had been enough for Ruby to finish sorting out her feelings.

Moreover, as they sparred together, they were not only improving their skills but also building trust in each other.

“Commander, I’ve brought your tea.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s nothing.”

I took a sip of the tea Cluna had brought.

For some reason, the tea Cluna made always seemed to improve my mood particularly well.

As I was drinking the tea, she spoke cautiously.

“Commander, are you still unchanged in your earlier idea?”

“Hm? What do you mean?”

“The statement you made to everyone two weeks ago.”

“Ah, that.”

Before I knew it, the gentle smile had disappeared from her lips.

Now she was focusing her gaze on me.

In this rather pressuring situation, I scratched my head and fell into thought.

Two weeks ago.

That is, on the day Ruby had defeated Balak and succeeded in her revenge, I had called everyone together and made a major announcement.

It was a declaration that I would hand over the position of commander back to Yuren.

Yuren was originally the commander of the Royal Knights, and except for the expedition incident, she had almost no failures and above all, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she was the strongest in the current Royal Knights.

So, I thought it would be better for Yuren to take up the commander position again and informed everyone, but the opposition was stronger than I had imagined.

Especially Helia, who strongly objected.

[No! Absolutely not!]

[This is too sudden. Did something happen?]

[If there’s an understandable reason, I’ll agree, but…]

The opposition from them was stronger than I expected, so I had no choice but to take a step back for now.

It was truly strange, I had always been nagging them like an old fogey except for important matters…

Strictly speaking, this wasn’t really a situation where we could afford to be relaxed, but it wasn’t a bad thing to enjoy the peace that had come by chance.

I spoke while drinking my tea.

“It’s peaceful to a strange degree.”

“Pardon?”

Cluna, who was also organizing documents right next to me, tilted her head at my words.

Well, that’s right, isn’t it?

It had already been two weeks since we dealt with Balak, and nothing had happened.

But I couldn’t possibly think that the demons would just sit still.

They must be plotting something, but the problem was that even if I tried to be tense, it was too peaceful to…

My thoughts stopped there.

The teacup I had put down on the desk was suddenly floating in the air.

Not just the teacup.

Everything in the office, including the desk and bookshelves, was in chaos.

I instinctively realized that time had stopped.

However, it wasn’t me who had stopped time intentionally.

What did that mean?

It meant that a threat to my life had just arrived.

By now, I wasn’t startled by this level of occurrence.

Even though this was the Royal Knights’ headquarters, I had been thinking that we could be attacked anytime, anywhere and it had actually happened.

Where was it?

What was the range?

Where was the safe zone?

After figuring this out within a minute, I immediately moved.

First, I picked up and moved Cluna who was right next to me, then I moved the others.

Thankfully, they were all in the courtyard.

If they hadn’t been, the cooldown would have been twice as long as it was now.

After moving all of them to the safe zone, I could finally allow an expression of shock on my face.

It wasn’t just an air raid.

It was nothing short of a bombardment from the sky.

It was fortunate that it had fallen on the office first.

Thanks to that, time stop had activated first.

If it hadn’t, we might have lost one of our members in vain.

I released time stop and simultaneously, a massive explosion that threatened to rupture our eardrums struck me and the others.

Surprised by the sudden situation, the members looked at me with bewildered expressions.

“Commander? What’s this…”

“It’s an enemy attack! Everyone, prepare yourselves!!”

“An enemy attack?! So suddenly?!”

As always high-strung, Clara spoke the words I wanted to say.

That was exactly it.

There had been a reason for our relaxed state…

It was because the barrier of the Holy Kingdom was still intact.

Due to the barrier, the demons’ activities were greatly restricted within the barrier.

The restrictions were applied according to their power level.

So the demons created lower demons and monsters with weaker powers to operate within the barrier.

In other words, there shouldn’t be any lower demons or monsters capable of such an attack.

“I thought we could kill at least one with that attack.”

“It’s the Royal Knights. How could they die from such an attack?”

“If it weren’t for the Commander, at least one would have died, I think.”

What appeared before us were three beings.

They didn’t look human at all.

More precisely, they looked similar to humans, but deviated quite far from human characteristics.

First, the one on the right was very large, it looked easily over 3 meters tall.

Despite this, its face was that of a lizard.

A lizard-man? Or some variation?

I wasn’t sure.

On the left was a black-haired woman wearing a thin dress.

Her obsidian-like hair and eyes accentuated her appearance, if only she didn’t have horns on her head.

“Haha, hello there, Royal Knights.”

The one in the middle seemed to be the most dangerous.

First, he was the shortest.

Maybe about the height of a 7th grader.

His hair was light green.

Overall, he looked quite unassuming, but…

There was one characteristic that couldn’t be overlooked.

His eyes were squinted.

It was an undeniable fact that in any situation, when a squinty-eyed character opened their eyes, they became extremely powerful.

“I am Blood Demon…”

“First strike wins!”

“…?!”

The reason I had been still was actually to gain momentum!

I had been tense because they all looked like true demons or higher, but the middle one said he was a blood demon.

Well, that made sense.

It had only been about a year since the fierce battle with the Royal Knights ended.

There was no way three true demons or higher would come here directly!

So I immediately took on this one.

After all, he was the only one confirmed to be a blood demon!

But I had no intention of doing a sloppy job.

To avoid interference from the others, I even used time acceleration to decisively separate him.

My insides hurt a bit, but fortunately, it was bearable.

The remaining ones?

They would handle those themselves.

I was the weakest after all!

I’d take on the weakest one first!

* * *

“Hmm, as expected of the Commander.”

“This is getting interesting~ A boss battle right from the start!”

“…”

The large demon with a lizard head and the horned female demon were chatting and laughing.

As if they were on a picnic.

The first to react to this scene was Helia.

Thunder Dragon Sword Technique First Strike: Thunder Dragon Fang

This swordsmanship was built up over the past year and a half by a genius with overflowing talent and bone-grinding effort.

It showed a power that even these true demons couldn’t dare to ignore.

But power was just power.

If it didn’t hit, it meant nothing.

That was why the female demon reacted first.

Suddenly, a long spear appeared in her hand.

“You’re quite fast, aren’t you?”

“How dare trash like you speak to me?”

“I like your personality too! Let’s play together!”

“Oh my? Will you include us as well?”

If Helia had been alone, she would have died immediately, unable to endure.

But fortunately, she had comrades.

Clara and Cluna, both of whom were speed types, joined Helia.

Naturally, Yuren, Bayard, and Ruby ended up facing the 3-meter tall demon.

The lizard-headed being looked at them for a moment, then took a martial arts stance.

“I am called Rehart. It’s an honor to be able to test my mettle against the famous Royal Knights.”

“…That terrible killing intent has disappeared. Could it be, that from earlier…”

“As expected of the former commander. Yes, it belonged to the one your current commander took away.”

“I-Impossible, blood demons should be below true demons.”

“Then how could he give off such pressure?!”

“It seems you’re under some misunderstanding.”

The meaning of true demon was the genuine demons and blood demon was a name they had given to those who couldn’t mingle with the lower ranks.

That was what they had believed until Rehart spoke.

“Blood Demon is that guy’s name.”

“What? Blood Demon is a name?”

“Yes.”

“…It seems that this Blood Demon is related to that blood demon.”

“Of course it’s related.”

Was it simply a play on names?

No, that couldn’t be.

Those demons wouldn’t play around like that.

There must be another reason.

Rehart immediately explained.

“That guy is the one who created all blood demons.”

The king of all blood demons, and the embodiment of Blood Demon itself.
