CHAPTER 41

The Last General

Desperate to get Seiya away from Valkyrie, I rush him to leave for Gaeabrande by mentioning crazy things like “The survival of this world is being threatened!” I’m feeling guilty about exaggerating until I suddenly hear a loud voice declare:

“The survival of Roseguard is being threatened as we speak!”

When we appear near the imperial capital’s gate, I see a soldier wearing armor with the Roseguard imperial crest on it—multiple soldiers, countless soldiers…! What’s going on?! There are way too many soldiers here!

There are easily over a thousand solders in a single line, holding weapons while their faces are racked with fear. I follow their gazes to find something even more startling. A mouth split all the way to its ears, black wings on its back—a bizarre creature reminiscent of Chaos Machina’s Greater Demon form—stands a few meters up ahead with a line of soldiers as well. The army facing the thousands of imperial soldiers is a swarm of demons of equal size.

“I-it’s like a war zone!”

The ghastly situation immediately erases my sorrow. Mash draws his sword and prepares for battle while Elulu hides behind me. While paying careful attention to the demon hordes, we are suddenly surrounded by the imperial army.

“Who are you? Where did you even come from?”

“They’re suspicious!”

“You think they’re demons?”

“N-no, we’re—”

The moment I try to clear the air…

“They are no enemy of ours! That is the goddess and the Hero!”

I turn around in the direction of the well-projected voice to find an elderly soldier with a beard. Noticing me looking, his stern expression relaxes, and he lowers his head to me.

“It is an honor to see you again! Thanks again for your help back in Seimul!”

Uh… Who’s this guy again? Oh, wait! This is the soldier that we met when we ran into the undead monster at the church in Seimul!

Seiya curtly asks:

“What’s the situation?”

“General Eraser Kaiser’s elite unit, Demon’s Sword, has come to attack the imperial capital! We had the numbers advantage, but our army is no match for their devastating power! We were pushed back until we crossed Urugus Highway and had to continue to retreat until we found ourselves before the capital, Orphée!”

“Th-that means you have nowhere left to run!”

The soldier nods with an expression stricken with anguish.

“However…they have ceased their attack ever since we got here, and we have no idea what they are plotting…”

Just like he said, the demons are doing little more than watching us. It’s as if they’re waiting for something.

After some time passes, the enemy side finally makes a move. A demon remarkably larger than the rest suddenly appears, breaking through their line. Curved horns sprout from his head like a goat and armor-like black, glimmering muscles cover his body. But what startles me the most are his arms. He has three arms on each side, each holding a battle-ax or sword. Seiya sharpens his eyes.

“His aura is nothing like that of the other demons. That must be the final general.”

“So that’s Eraser Kaiser…!”

The six-armed demon leaps out before his troops, then speaks the language of the humans in a deep voice.
