The Eternal Debauchery's

first target ll

Five little children, with the youngest not even ten years old, stared at the monster in horror. Their bodies froze in fear, unable to move even as the monster rushed towards them.

Their eyes opened wide in horror, and their small bodies trembled. Some of them even closed their eyes and started crying.

And in front of these helpless children, the monster raised its hand.

I looked at the scene with a stern expression. Next to me, Katherine tried desperately to cast a spell, but I made sure to undo her spell every time.

Katherine looked at me in anger and confusion. In the current situation, he couldn't think clearly about my motives. He can only see me stopping him from saving the kids.

But of course, I don't plan to let the kids die.

Even if I wanted to use this opportunity to make Rose understand that sometimes killing others was necessary, it would be bad if today's events cast a shadow on Rose's heart.

So, I waited. Waiting for Rose to act. And if she can't overcome her trauma and save the children, I'll move on.

Rose stared wide-eyed while the man who turned into a monster raised his hand towards the children. Rose could see an expression of fear and terror on those little creatures.

His eyes trembled, telling him to move, but his body refused to move.

However, he could not let his children die.

“Arrrrrrghhhhh!!” With a shout, he released all the mana in his entire body and forced his body to swing his sword.

Following the swing of the sword, a giant moon-shaped mana wave flew towards the monster!

The monster froze. For a moment, rationality returned to his eyes, and the fear of death overpowered him.

When Rose saw the fear of death in the monster's eyes, her expression changed.

Panicking, he forced himself to move his hand slightly to the side.

Then-then

*Desir!*

The sword attack cut through the monster, making the monster's blood rain down on the streets.

But instead of killing him, the attack simply cut off his arm.

It was the result of Rose's last instant move.

And after using all the mana on her body, Rose fell silent, unable to move!

I shake my head in my heart. In the end, he was too naive.

*ROOOOOOOAAAAARR!!!*

The monster roared in pain and anger. His eyes turned red, and his aura turned berserk.

Under the immense pain, the monster glared at the silent Rose furiously.

Then, he ignored the frightened children and charged towards him, raising his remaining arm to kill the enemy that was causing him pain.

I could see Rose's eyes shaking. His face was filled with fear and confusion, as if wondering why things were like this.

I closed my eyes. I think it's time to move.

Sighing, I stepped across space, appearing between the monster and Rose.

The monster was startled.he failed to understand how I appeared so suddenly.

However, it was not smart enough to realize the meaning of my speed!

So, instead of retreating, it had instead added strength to its attack.

But before his arm could come down, I unsheathed my sword.

Something strange happened at that moment. Although I unsheathed my sword slowly, I managed to finish it off before the monster's hand reached us. It was as if time was running slower for the monster than it was for me.

Looking at the monster with an indifferent expression, I swung my sword.

Without a sound, the monster froze–

*Cutting!*

And his remaining arm fell to the ground.

Rose looked at me with her eyes wide open. As a seventh-tier practitioner and hero, he could sense that my final attack was something far beyond his strength.

“What is it, Rose?”

"Huh?"

"Tell me, why didn't you kill that monster?"

Rose surprised. A second later, he bit his lips and fell silent.

Seeing him quiet, I breathed. I then walked past the frozen monster looking at me with fear and went towards the children.

With a smile, I crouched down in front of them and smiled.

“Everything is fine now.you can go."

My words carry a calming effect that affects their minds. Almost instantly, the children forgot their fear and smiled.

Right after, the children thanked me before fleeing.

By the time they turned the corner, I smiled, and their memories of what had just happened disappeared.

To them, the monster seemed as if it had never existed.

I turned around and looked at Rose. With an expressionless expression, I asked.

“... Is there something you want to say?”

“... Sorry... But I... I can't kill him! He's human!”

"And?" I tilted my head and put on an indifferent look. "Are you telling me that you would never kill a human even if letting it live would be dangerous for others?"

Rose clenched her fists and lowered her head. His face, however, was a mess of confusion and doubt.

I could feel Katherine's concerned expression pointing at us. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but I shook my head at him, making him swallow his words.

With such a clear clue, she understood I was using this opportunity to wake Rose up from her daze.

I kept staring at Rose and furrowed my brows. When I saw he was not planning to answer my question, I sighed.

“... Rose, how many daemons have you killed till now?”

Rose was surprised and confused, but she still answered my question.

“... I don't know.. I don't count it.”

“Is that? But you have killed at least five or six of them, right?”

Rose nodded after a few seconds of hesitation.

"Now tell me, what is the difference between a daemon and a human?"

“H-Huh? I-It...”

“Both humans and daemons have souls, and both have family and friends. We are no more civilized than them, and I'm sure there are daemons that are even better than some humans.”.

“I-That..”

“But even so, you killed them without hesitation. Have you ever wondered about their family?”

“Clause!” katherine.

“Stay calm, Katherine. Rose should know about this. He should know how two-faced his actions were to not kill evil humans despite killing daemons without hesitation!”

Katherine frowned. He looked at Rose's pale and desperate face and sighed. “.

But I shook my head.

"Maybe. However, Rose's hypocritical actions this time put the lives of several children at risk. Tell me, Rose, what would you do if I wasn't here? you and the children will die! Are you okay with that !? ”

Rose's eyes turned red. He stared at the ground in shame, unable to look me in the eye.

I let out a breath. Then, I walked towards the monster that was still frozen in fear.

“Because he's human, huh? Well, if you can't kill this monster, I can kill it for you.” Without waiting for Rose to answer, I raised my sword.

And swing it down.
