drop by drop...

The dark and dense clouds landed countless huge drops of water, which hit the roof with rainproof measures and made a loud ticking sound. The surrounding streets and sewers began to accumulate water and flow quickly.

The villagers in every house saw the increasing rain, and they nestled in the house to watch the heavy rain with concern. Although some people planned to continue to build buildings despite the rain, the order issued by the village chief made all villagers Just stay inside and wait.

Due to the low terrain of the village, even with the latest and complete drainage construction, there is still an astonishing amount of water accumulated. The streets used for walking in just a few minutes began to be irrigated by rainwater. If it rains like this, it is likely to cause The panic of the villagers.

"It's really bad weather."

Kano, standing at the gate of the village and below the watchtower, was wearing clothes covered by a dark-colored raincoat. The orange eyes exposed from the raincoat hood looked at the "big black shadow" covering the top of the mountain in the distance.

Even though he had performed many dirty missions about mercenaries, he subconsciously felt tense and depressed in the face of this horde of mercenaries.

"Master Village Chief, do you want to carry out the second stage of drainage?"

Standing beside him was a petite woman who also covered her whole body in a raincoat. Only a few snow-white hairs stuck to the raincoat because of the rain. She raised her head and looked at Kano with bright red eyes.

"Okay, direct this water to the lake."

Hearing Kano's reply, he turned his head and waved his hands to indicate the order. Several guards at the watchtower immediately nodded and went to the gate closest to the lake.

Villages located in basin terrain naturally have to pay special attention to waterproof design, so not only basic waterproof construction, but also measures to cope with heavy rain.

For example, a channel leading to a lake elsewhere was previously dug, and a large amount of rainwater was temporarily filled into a huge pothole that was almost dry.

"Master Village Chief, we just need to be on standby?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Although it was only Kano's slight nod in response, the mercenary next to him, who was only child-sized, nodded expressionlessly, and then stood still like a wooden sculpture, letting the rain and strong winds blow on him.

Those unwavering bright red eyes stared at the big black shadow surrounding the village like Kano.

In fact, except for the guards who had already set out to deal with the waterproofing system, the guards on the watchtower and the gate were all pale and sweating looking at the shadow.

If you just look at it casually, the black shadow on the top of the mountain is like several dense dark clouds in the sky.

Just squint your eyes and observe carefully, you will find that those black shadows and dark clouds seem to be in the sky, but in fact all those shadows are tightly stuck to the top of the mountain.

Squinting your eyes harder can help you discover the appearance of each shadow.

Each of the shadows at different heights has a human shape printed on it, and a flag that is blown violently by the strong wind.

Looking around like this, the figure and the flag have already occupied all the high places in front of the gate.

"Number Four, will you regret this situation?"

Kano kept her eyes still and asked the child beside her. Although there was no change in appearance, there was a slight change in tone at this moment.

The timidity and hesitation that can't be suppressed in my heart are not simply because I am afraid of too many enemies, but because I feel uncomfortable with the need to "guard".

"No, because the village chief trusts him."

"That's right, it's just that such arguments can't convince everyone. If I didn't strictly forbid them to come out to fight, maybe they would come to kill Jieshi... I can only claim to the outside world that I can solve it, but they really did Be willing to believe me—the truth is always on the side that everyone doesn’t believe.”

"Onee-sama, are you blaming yourself for that demon king?"

Instead of using the external address like the village head, it uses the usual familiar name.

"Are you blaming yourself? Even with such an emotion, I feel like I'm too high."

"But I hate him because he killed No. [-]. Even if it's my sister's order, I still hate him."

There was an immature and cute tone like a child on the calm face, but it was precisely because of this expression that the content of the words was full of dangerous and strong hatred.

Kano could only smile wryly under the complex expression.

Because she couldn't speak for Jieshi, let alone comfort the children beside her.

She can only choose to stand and watch from a distance, and then make the village more prosperous until the "dream world I sincerely hope for" is realized.

call out--

Amongst the sound of heavy rain, the sound of sharp friction easily replaced the sound of heavy rain. Kanai and No. [-] raised their heads to look at the source of the sound.

The black object, which was originally only the size of a rice grain, quickly fell down. As it got closer to the ground, the figure that was originally only the size of a rice grain quickly became larger.

Until he could tell that it was a human being, the figure fell to a position [-] meters directly in front of Kano.

drop.

The explosion sound that I thought would be caused by a high-speed fall did not appear, only a faint sound that seemed to be made by a drop of rainwater falling on the ground.

He didn't wear a raincoat and let the rain hit him. He only had basic black armor on his body. It was neither the silver armor commonly used by nobles nor custom-made equipment. The black armor, but the two weapons fixed by a thin thread on the waist made people forget the jet-black clothing this person was wearing.

The slender magic sword that shone with a dark aura, even under the dark heavy rain, that shimmering monster and dangerous light still made people feel subconsciously afraid.

Seeing this magic sword, No. [-] beside Kano widened her bright red eyes, but the moment her petite body took the first step forward, Kano beside her had already stretched out her hand to prevent No. [-] from approaching.

Click.

The slender figure in pitch black raised his right hand and pulled out the magic sword wrapped in a pitch black scabbard on his back.

The dazzling dark purple that shone from the blade of the sword directly covered the cloudy sky, sweeping the surroundings as if all the rainwater had evaporated.

When the deep purple light that was completely covered spread into the heavy rain, the fear deep in the hearts of everyone who saw it swelled infinitely as if being forced to rape.

No one could stand still and watch the dark purple magic sword with some kind of ancient characters appearing on the sword body.

Click.

The right hand holds the magic sword that exudes incomparable oppression, and the left hand holds the black sword that is not yet shining on the waist.

When this demon king appeared, a large number of shadows on the top of the mountain, which were originally quiet, finally began to shake like a clamor.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom .

Immediately, the shadows that almost covered the entire mountain top emerged row after row, countless dazzling rays of light, and the emitted rays of light were even more dazzling, almost evaporating all the dark clouds in the sky. A sharp sound moving quickly in the sky swept up instead of light.

The objects extending from the sky distort the picture in front of you, making the vision blurry, but the sound of tearing the air is full of fear.

Until it fell to a certain extent, I finally realized what the substances that evaporated together with the rainwater were—fireballs.

A rain of fireballs covered the sky like a heavy rain.

It is a huge magic that truly destroys the sky and the earth. As long as these fireballs, which number more than a hundred and each of which is far larger than the building, fall head-on, the village will definitely be hit by a devastating blow.

The buildings that have been repaired and constructed with great effort will be destroyed the moment the fireball touches them!

"It is to use the domain cooperation and command of the magic troops to create a wider range of domains and powerful fire attribute magic, but at this level... Is the fire family crazy? They sent out all the magicians that can be used."

"Master Village Chief, what should we do?"

"Don't do anything."

"..."

"Our only job is to witness."

lb!

Before the fireball directly in front touched the ground, there was a sound like thunder from behind Kanai and No. [-].

bang, bang bang...

I thought it was just the thunder that fell from the cloudy sky, but the harsh thunder several times in a row and the smoke from the village finally made Kano and No. [-] feel that something was wrong.

"Master Village Chief, let me investigate."

"No, the power just now is enough to rival natural disasters, it's not an invader you can fight against, and your feet can't move vigorously, right?"

"But my sis, do you want to witness it? This battle."

As if she had accurately guessed her inner thoughts, Kano's eyes widened, but she looked at the lonely figure preparing for battle in front of her, and at the black smoke coming out of the village.

Hesitation filled his face, and his fingertips trembled not knowing how to choose.

boom!

There was another explosion-like sound in the village, and it was even louder than before. Kano subconsciously grabbed the green sword on her waist—she understood.

As the behind-the-scenes of all this, she has no right to pay attention to everything about Jieshi.

"If it's really for him, I have to guard this village. Number four, please, witness all this on my behalf."

"Yes."

His left hand patted No. [-]'s shoulder, and he squeezed his fingertips uncontrollably, but No. [-] nodded vigorously in full acceptance.

Accept all the sustenance in this heart.

"I'm really counting on you."

After saying this, before turning around, he took another look at the back of the person who might be meeting him for the last time, bit his lips tightly, drew his divine sword and rushed into the village.
