Only for this one moment!

"Shh-"

The blood blade sliced ​​directly across the opponent's body.

Miley's eyes widened.

The feel of it—

wrong!

It didn't feel like I hit anything at all!

She would never mistake that feeling.

This is the feel of hitting a hero!

Once the system determines that the damage is sufficient to kill other heroes, the Blood Blade will disappear from the mid-journey.

The force used in normal sparring is only enough to hurt people, not to cause injury.

Mila really intended to kill the Lord of Nightmares just now, which is why she passed right through his body.

A hero... this Lord of Nightmares is a hero?!

“If it were before, I would have done the same thing as you.”

The enemy's leader is standing right here; there's no reason not to kill him.

The Lord of Nightmares spoke.

Neither of them knew how to describe the sound.

Men, women, young and old? Pots and pans?

Q: Multiple sounds are mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish the real sound.

However, the message intended for the two individuals was delivered normally.

The Lord of Nightmares continued, "However, I won't do that now."

Since there was a demon who could help me recover to my best condition and didn't kill me.

It's only a matter of time before I escape from here.

In comparison, gathering intelligence is more important than directly attacking the demon leader.

If you can't kill them, you'll make enemies, and the situation will become even more troublesome.

Since a demon leader is standing here, speaking to you at this distance;

Don't you want to ask why?

"Well... that's exactly what I wanted to ask."

Lana also grinned; she hadn't expected Elsa to suddenly collapse, nor had she expected Mila to suddenly make a move.

"Is there anything you need us to do?"

"I need you to join [Nightmare]."

"As expected..." Lana chuckled.

Even she could have somewhat guessed this outcome.

"But why us?" Lana asked again.

"This is the result obtained through observation."

I have seen your strength and character, and also—

courage.

And I firmly believe that you can keep the secret and will not tell anyone everything you know now.

So I want you to join [Nightmare].

Some tasks are beyond the capabilities of even the bravest warrior.

You need an identity as a [Demon].

As he spoke, the figure that seemed to be shrouded in mist gradually became clearer, as if the mist was rapidly dissipating.

Until the person in the mist came into full view of them, and the voice became clear.

They knew that voice all too well.

That emotionless, indifferent, and calm voice.

Standing before them was none other than the Sword Hero—

Annie Karl!

"Sword... Sword Hero?! You are Nightmare... wait?!"

"You're the leader of the demon organization? You're the demon lord? You're the [Nightmare Viscount] who's always been considered an enemy by the demons?!"

Lana was stunned. She never expected that the mysterious "Nightmare Viscount," who could never be found anywhere, had actually been right beside them all along!

The Nightmare has been driving the Chaos Demon, which means...

The Sword Hero actually created a succubus organization to assist the heroes' actions?! 〃 "↑!"

too……

Too strong?!

At this moment, all of Lana's previous doubts and worries vanished.

It turns out that the Sword Hero was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

Now I understand.

“I join!” Milei had already sheathed his blood blade at some point, and with a thud, he knelt on one knee, bowing his head. “I am truly flattered to be chosen by the Sword Hero.”

"To become a member of [Nightmare], to fight for the heroes, to fight for humanity—it is our duty!"

Kanna: "Master just said we lied to her."

An Yi: "?"

Milai said righteously, "I didn't know that the esteemed Dream Master was actually the Sword Hero."

But since it was the Sword Hero who did all this, then everything before makes sense.

How could demons possibly have any desire to help humans?

But if they were under the leadership of the Sword Hero, there's a real possibility they could turn over a new leaf!

She was wrong!

Big mistake!

This is a demon organization led by that swordsman hero! How could they possibly have bad intentions towards humans?!

How could I possibly have bad intentions towards a hero!

Since the Sword Hero is the leader, then everything that succubus said before must be true!

Succubi are truly fighting for humanity.

Because they obeyed the command of the swordsman!

She actually wanted to kill the Sword Hero, how foolish!

What freed Lana and Elsa from the lies?

She never thought of that!

There are no lies here! Only sword-wielding heroes!

Kanna: "Your attitude changed way too fast..."

An Yi wasn't surprised by this.

The other three members of the Saintess Squad would have absolute trust that everything he did was for the victory against the demons. 〉■

The reason why his leadership of the demon organization cannot be known to other heroes is simply because neither heroes nor humans may absolutely trust him.

Based on the observations, both Lana and Milai are heroes who would trust him.

First of all, after learning everything, Lana was only shocked, without any extra doubt or unease in her eyes.

She herself was not cunning, and had received a lot of help from An Yi along the way.

Even if An Yi were to reveal his identity to her without any preparation, her first reaction would definitely not be that An Yi had betrayed humanity.

Just like [Chaos Demon], isn't it also pretending to be a demon organization?

Then there's Milai.

Regardless of what was actually written in the notebook, An Yi knew that the other party was very wary of the demon organization.

For Nightmare, Mila is definitely much more difficult to deal with than Lana.

but……

"Stand up." An Yi raised her hand, and a gentle breeze lifted Milai from the ground.

Milai remained serious, her face clearly saying, "It's an honor to join [Nightmare]."

This is in the same secret organization as the Sword Hero!

We can still carry out secret operations together in the future!

Who wouldn't want to be favored by their idol?

Moreover, she had no doubt that An Yi would do anything wrong.

"Here, take this back." An Yi took two notebooks out of her pocket and handed them to Mi Lai.

"...?"

Eh, Mi Lai was stunned, her whole body stiffening on the spot.

Sulfur is like the blood in your whole body congealing.

Immediately afterward, Jiu's entire fair face visibly flushed red!
