~On Public Execution Venue~
Kon was in his place for execution, behind him were several important people coming to see him. One of them is Georg Defle who is in charge of Dilemm City, he is required to come because an incident involving Kon causes a village to disappear from the map.
“Master Georg... Wouldn't it be better to interrogate first?” asked a man dressed in luxury with a beautiful complexion, he was Vendeut Gerldiun Georg's assistant who took care of the merchants.
“He thought so, but he had bitten his tongue until it broke... Because it's free we hold it too long” said Georg with a serious face.
“Biting his tongue?! Looks like he's not an ordinary bandit” looks towards Kon.
“True... From Gerald's report it seems like he has a relationship with a Demonkin who has terrible powers”
“Demonkin you said?!”
“True... Said Demonkin it makes Gerald helpless, in one attack Gerald immediately lose”
“Gruesome creatures... So you want to directly execute that Demonkin friend because you don't want to wait for the Demonkin to appear”
“Bar”
When they were talking to a soldier in black armor on stage carrying a large axe, he was an executioner who had carried out many executions.
Seeing the executioner on the stage, the citizens who had previously pelted Kon with rocks and dirt stopped and started shouting.
“Man finish that trash!”
A lot of insulting remarks came out of the mouths of the citizens watching, not least children. It was a bit rude to make children watch public executions like this, but it was common because they often saw Adventurers who brought some monsters so they were not afraid.
“Stop him” Georg's orders are in the back.
The executioner raised his axe as high as possible, aiming for the right point to decapitate Kon.
Finally the axe swung down and the sound of falling objects rang out, everyone was speechless to see that.
But unfortunately they were silent because they saw something that was not supposed, it turns out that the beheaded was the executioner who was in Kon's position before.
“Yosh he has survived” said the neatly dressed man who beheaded the executioner.
Everyone fell silent because they did not understand what had happened, they did not even know who had beheaded the executioner. Besides, they also do not know since when Kon was lying next to the beheader.
Georg who finally regained his senses after forcing his brain to instantly pull out the sword from its place, he instantly made the horses fight but his hands trembled violently.
“Oya... It is impolite to brandish a sword when you just met”
“I recognize you!! Demon King Shadow Monarch!” shouted Georg.
All who heard that immediately put on a pale face, they did not know that a Demon King could appear in this place.
“Ah it turns out I am already quite famous huh... Then please introduce, my name is Shadow Monarch... Call me Monarch” Monarch said as he lowered his head towards the citizens present.
But not the reply he received but the disrespectful act of leaving, all the citizens who heard the introduction of Monarch immediately ran like farm animals.
“It was very rude, instead of welcoming me they left... Shadow Killer kill everyone who escapes” said Monarch calmly.
Then from one of the shadow of the citizens who fled, appeared a spear that pierced the heart of a citizen. After that a jet black figure emerged from the shadow, it was shaped like a soldier but it was all black and there was only a speck of red-colored light in the place that was supposed to be filled by the eyeball.
After the massacre occurs, the black creature pursues all those who flee and kills them mercilessly.Even innocent little children are killed in vain before enjoying his life, .
“All right for him I'm handing over to you Shadow Elemental”
Then Kon's body slowly sucked into the shadow, seeing it Georg increasingly do not understand what happened.
Hearing the statement Georg did not remain silent, he raised his sword and prepared to attack.
“What did you say Ha?!”
“Hmm?”
“How dare you say that before me!! The Demon King prepare to die! Martial Art: Destroy Slash!”
A sword cut through the wind and attacked the Monarch very quickly, but at that moment Georg felt the world spinning before him.
“Black Gate”
Then Georg attacks Monarch, dust flies to various places but behind the dust there is a figure that stands upright and he is a Monarch who is lifting something in his right hand.
When the dust disappears finally the object held by the monarch is seen, it is Georg's head that has been severed so neatly.
“Hmm it looks like I've seen it... But where ya” said Monarch while thinking.
Monarch looked at the head he held as if playing it, but his interest was instantly lost.
“Ah come, the important thing is that he is dead... Alright time for slaughter” said Monarch very calmly.
The city higher-ups who were with Georg before were trembling, they saw a figure that they thought was a protector dying so easily by a Demon King.
“Tu-tu-wait, mighty Demon King! Please wait a minute!!” said one of the officers.
“Hmm?”
“A-I'll give it my all but please forgive me!”
Monarch did not understand what the person meant, he tilted his head in curiosity.
“What can you give me? The only thing I want is your life” Monarch said.
hearing that the city official glued his eyes like disbelief, but Monarch calmly walked over to the higher-ups.
"After hearing that, can you give me a better offer?" said Monarch with a grin on his face.
the higher-ups were just idle, their bodies felt like they were frozen.
"Just relax, I'll make your dead bodies useful so that you don't have any regrets in the world... Thank you"
Monarch glanced at the front of the stage he was on, from a distance he saw countless corpses that had been killed by the Shadow Killer.
"Hmm faster is better... Aufjehen!"
From every corpse appeared a human-like black creature, they stood up and finally kneeled to the Monarch.
"Stop everything in this town"
After the amulets of all the black creatures scattered and began to carry out the Monarch's orders, cries of pain rang out so loudly from various places.
"Well, it's time to find that thing"
Monarch walked leisurely to look for something, before he had already had plans to this place for some reason.
Monarch walked past the corpses of the city higher-ups who had been dead for some time, Monarch walked around like he didn't care about it.
"Pretty strong... I'm getting curious what that looks like"
