Montt Village, ten years earlier.

He’d sworn to himself that he’d defeat her this time, but he didn’t stand a chance. After being expelled from the monk temple, he had given up on himself for a while. He had wandered around picking fights with anyone who looked strong, not headed anywhere in particular. When he’d heard whispers about a remote village in his wanderings, he figured he’d check it out, though he hadn’t expected the rumors to be true.

“Ah, Master! Look, he’s back again! I’m tired of fighting him!” The adorable young maid wore a troubled expression, but he wasn’t fooled. He knew she was a demonic sword, a weapon who had weathered all too many fierce battles. Last time he had finally landed a punch. He had a shot at winning. He wouldn’t go down again.

A formidable demon walked up next to the maid. “Oh, it’s that shell of a monk. Look, I understand full well how strong you are by now. Can’t we give this a rest?” What was with that casual attitude? He wasn’t even the one who had been fighting. His nonchalance made it clear that he was far stronger than the demonic sword.

“Can’t do that. I’m gonna beat you.”

“Finally able to talk, are you? There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you. What will you do when you beat me?”

“Dunno. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.”

The demon scratched his chin. “Hmm, I don’t think you truly mean that.”

“What are you tryin’ to say?”

“I know who you are. You’re the famous monk who defeated an ancient dragon with his bare hands and tore out its heart—Dragon Spirit Blutgang Artzalight. Am I wrong?”

Blutgang felt like his own heart had just been grasped. How did someone so far out in the country know who he was? He should have been presumed missing since he’d been expelled from the temple. Blutgang shook his head. It didn’t matter if this demon knew who he was. “So you know my name. Doesn’t change what I wanna do.”

“As you are now, I imagine not. But it’s not what Blutgang Artzalight would do. He abandoned his teachings to protect the people, saving countless lives. His achievement became a beacon of hope in the people’s hearts, inspiring courage in them. I’m proud to have met such a man.”

Blutgang didn’t understand what the demon was saying. How could he be proud to meet a bloodthirsty man who did nothing but swing his fists? Blutgang Artzalight was no more. That was what he had decided, and he had sworn to live his life for himself. That was what he wanted.

But Blutgang’s vision gradually blurred. He put himself on guard, thinking it was some kind of spell, but it was only tears. “What the hell did you do to me?”

“Not a thing. I just said I’m proud of you. In the thousand years of peace we’ve had, not once have I seen a warrior with your courage before. Had you been around a millennium ago, I daresay the war would have been over much faster.
