Standing on the wall among a crowd of other people, Neia watched the fight.

Many of the spectators had been saved by and revered the King of Darkness, but not all.

Paladins were present, too, as were priests. Neia couldn’t see her through the wall of people, but even Remedios was so close by, she could hear her voice.

Of the leadership, it seemed only Gustav and Caspond were absent.

No one watching said any— No. There simply were no words for this fight.

They knew.

The Blue Roses had said Jaldabaoth’s difficulty level was over 200. So this was essentially a fight with a dragon shaped like a man. Simply having it take place in the human world guaranteed disaster.

They were probably lucky only one part of town had been destroyed. A few buildings were burning, sending up plumes of white smoke, but there were next to no human casualties.

As the people watched, a tornado, fire, lightning—a storm of powers beyond human comprehension was unleashed. Any one of them would have been enough to take scores of lives.

Especially…

“That was beautiful…”

What moved Neia was the white sphere of light that occurred twice.

A power that swallowed everything up and cleanly erased it. Neia sensed good in it. She wasn’t sure if it was a sacred power or not. The utter destruction left behind after the light faded was actually frightening, but her admiration of the immense force won out.

It seems like the fight is still going. If His Majesty can use such powerful magic and things still aren’t finished…Jaldabaoth really is strong.

She had heard tell, and she had seen with her own eyes, but she had apparently still been underestimating him. She would certainly never do that again.

The king she had been serving, if only while he was in the Sacred Kingdom, was fighting. Neia felt it was her duty to bear witness to his heroism, which is why she was watching. And in the case that…

…Neia clenched her hand around her bow.

She could tell multiple opponents besides Jaldabaoth were challenging the king—the demon maids, said to be difficulty level 150. Even fighting all those powerful enemies at once, he was holding his own; Neia couldn’t help but be awed by his might.

She was sure now that she was envious of the Nation of Darkness’s people, who were protected by such justice. A country with a king like that had to be such a happy place.

“Weakness is a sin, so I have to get stronger. Either that or I should reverently accept the justice of one like His Majesty the King of Darkness.” Neia murmured what was always on her mind of late. Having repeated this so many times, it had come to resemble a prayer.

Suddenly a meteorite fell, causing a huge explosion.

The wreckage of buildings went flying and then rained down mixed with dirt and dust.

“Commander… Isn’t Jaldabaoth…impossibly terrible?”

“Yeah.”

“The King of Darkness—His Majesty—is also so strong. If he ends up our country’s enemy in the future…er, what do you think would happen to us?”

“Yeah.”

“Commander?”

“Yeah.”

Neia could hear Remedios talking with three other paladins.
