We arrived at a corner of the commercial area, in front of a secret room.

鈥淲hat do we do?鈥?br>
There鈥檚 no way to get in from here.

鈥淥wen. Can you use yesterday鈥檚 magic again?鈥?br>
鈥淥kay.鈥?br>
I put my hand on the brick and was about to use my wind magic when鈥?br>
鈥擠ogan!

I heard the sound of something hitting the wall.

I stepped back.

鈥擝oom, boom, boom!

鈥淕et some distance!鈥?br>
I say to Farren as I move away from the brick wall.

The next moment.

鈥擝oom!

The brick collapses with a rumbling sound.

And then.

鈥淲oaaaaaaa!鈥?br>
What the heck is this鈥︹€?

Why is there a monster here?

Why is there a demon in this place?

I looked up and saw.

鈥淒ominic鈥︹€?or 鈥︹€?鈥?br>
I looked up and saw a swollen body and grotesque purple skin.

But the face was Dominic鈥檚.

There is a creepy feeling as if Dominic鈥檚 head has been replaced by the body of a demon.

And then the back of the monster flashed into view.

鈥淥eegh鈥︹€︹€?br>
I put my hand over my mouth and suppressed my nausea.

Behind the broken bricks lay a human corpse.

What the hell is鈥︹€︹€?

What鈥檚 going on?

When I looked closer, I saw that Dominic鈥檚 body was covered in a thick layer of blood.

鈥淎r-, are you, Dominic鈥︹€?鈥?br>
I ask the monster, holding my mouth.

But there was no reply.

Instead.

鈥淕RAHHHHHHHHH!鈥?br>
The monster鈥檚 scream echoed.

And then the monster swung its arm down.

鈥淒amn it鈥︹€?鈥?br>
I flew backward to avoid it.

What do I do鈥︹€?

What am I supposed to do?

Should I run?

But if I let the monster loose here, the people of the city will be harmed.

That鈥檚 no good.

鈥淒ominic!鈥?br>
Farren shouted.

No, no, no.

That鈥檚 not Dominic.

That鈥檚 a monster.

鈥淎hhhh!鈥?br>
The monster took a step forward and swung his right arm.

鈥擝ody strengthening.

I put magic power into both arms to catch it.

But I couldn鈥檛 keep my footing and was blown away.

And then I bumped into Farren who was behind me.

鈥淜yaa!鈥?br>
The monster seems to have lost its reason and starts destroying buildings here and there.

Taking advantage of the situation, Farren and I stood up.

Then, we ran through the back alleys.

We have to get some distance first.

鈥淕o get sensei!鈥?br>
鈥淣o! I can鈥檛 back out!鈥?br>
鈥淵ou鈥檙e in the way!鈥?br>
Do you don鈥檛 want me to be alone?

Like when you came back from the battle of the High-Orc.

鈥淢y power might be able to save him!鈥?br>
As soon as Farren said that鈥?br>
鈥淎hhhh!鈥?br>
Before I knew it, the monster was right behind us.

Then it swung its right arm down.

I jumped sideways with Farren in my arms and rolled on the ground.

The cobblestones we were just where were shattered.

While holding Farren in my left hand, I put magic power into my right hand.

鈥淕reat Fireball鈥︹€?鈥?br>
I shoot it at the monster鈥檚 head.

鈥淕aaaaaaah!鈥?br>
The monster was hit by the magic and staggered.

It kept its face down and went wild, screaming strangely.

I stood up with Farren and we went through the alleyway.

When we reached the main street, there was quite a commotion.

The monster came out of the alleyway.

鈥擪yaaaaaaaaaaa!

鈥擶hat the hell! What is that thing?

鈥擶hoa!

The people who saw the monster鈥檚 figure were running for cover.

I put magic power into my arms.

鈥淕reat Fireball鈥︹€?鈥?br>
I unleashed a fireball with a diameter of one meter.

鈥淎hhhhhhh!鈥?br>
The monster fell to its knees and groaned.

His face was burned, and I couldn鈥檛 even tell if it had been Dominic鈥檚 face.

鈥淧lease stop! That鈥檚 Dominic!鈥?br>
鈥淚 know that!鈥?br>
In this situation, I couldn鈥檛 afford to care about Dominic.

If I don鈥檛, he will rampage.

鈥淚frit, with the fire of hell鈥︹€?br>
I鈥檒l settle this when Dominic is staggering.

What do you mean by 鈥渟ettle鈥?

Is it to kill this monster?

Is it to kill Dominic? 鈥︹€?

Don鈥檛 even think about it.

鈥淥wen!鈥?br>
Farren said and stepped between me and Dominic.

And then.

鈥淲hat are you doing?鈥?br>
I stopped my magic abruptly, but the recoil of the magic flowed into my body, making me wobble.

鈥淚鈥檒l save him!鈥?br>
Can you do that?

I鈥檓 sure the saints can.

But what are you going to do by saving this guy?

I saw the monster waking up and waving his arms at Farren.

I pulled Farren to her feet, and then

鈥淕uhaha鈥︹€?鈥?br>
The next moment, I was flung sideways and rolled over the cobblestones.
