Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

The guards' suspicious eyes kept moving across Ron and Rudius's faces.

"It's rare to see humans in the Demon Continent. Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"We are risk-takers, and this is our proof."

Ron didn't think much about it and handed his adventurer certificate to the guard as usual for identity verification.

However, after the guard received the adventurer's certificate, the suspicion on his face not only did not subside, but became even more solemn.

He kept comparing the information on the adventurer's certificate with Ron's appearance, his expression filled with doubt and uncertainty, and finally exclaimed:

"Could it be that... you are Ron, the brave warrior who defeated the Undead Demon King and the most recent rise of the human race?"

"?"

Chapter 118: You fight yours, I fight mine

Brave.

Ron felt a headache when he heard this name.

To be honest, this title came from nowhere. I challenged Badigondi on a whim, and although I thought I could probably win, I never considered the title of a hero.

In the end, this title was forced upon him without his knowledge.

"Hey, it's you, isn't it? The brave Ron who defeated the Undead Demon King Badigondi?"

The guard was still a little shocked and asked Ron for confirmation again and again.

"My name is Ron, that's right."

Ron rubbed his brow with a headache.

Brave.

In the Demonic Continent, this title cannot be taken as a joke.

After all, anyone who can be crowned as a hero possesses great power and the courage to challenge the Demon King.

In wartime, he would be the so-called enemy commander.

To put it more specifically, the appearance of a hero on the land of the Demon Continent is like Badigondi suddenly running to the city center of Sharia. Both are things that are not allowed to happen in principle.

Of course, this is a peaceful time after all.

Occasionally, there are people who call themselves heroes who try to challenge the Demon King... Although most of them can't even cross the dangerous environment of the Demon Continent. What's more, since it is a peaceful era, there is no sense of justice in challenging the Demon King.

Therefore, in the four hundred years since the Battle of Laplace.

The so-called heroes have disappeared from this world.

Because of this, Ron didn't want to be mistaken for a hero for no reason...

However, Badigandi's prestige in the Demon Continent is quite high.

The hero recognized by him personally, even if he was laughed off in the Central Continent, was the real deal in the Demon Continent.

"By the way, is the speed of news transmission in this world so exaggerated? I thought this was only spread in the Northern Continent, but I didn't expect it to spread even to the Demon Continent..."

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

The guard unconsciously changed the way he addressed Ron.

"Three days ago, we heard that you were planning to go to Necros Fortress to defeat the Undead Demon Lord Atofei."

"Ok?"

"Wait, what did you say?"

Ron and Rudius were both startled.

Just now, the guard seemed to have said some incredible information.

"Huh? So you two didn't know?"

The guard scratched his head and explained.

It started about three days ago.

Rumors began to spread in the city, claiming that the human warrior who had defeated the Undead Demon King Badigondi was planning to go to Nekros Fortress to defeat Atofi and had already set out from Licaris Town.

If it's just a simple rumor, it will soon be proven wrong.

However, someone in the city was acquainted with the Atofi guards in the Nekros Fortress, and they verified the situation through this channel, and the result was shocking.

Nekros Fortress did receive a letter of challenge.

No, it's not so much a challenge.

In fact, it is a declaration of war in the name of the brave Ron, declaring the intention to conquer the undead demon king Atoife.

after that.

Because of this declaration of war, the entire Gasro region entered a state of almost martial law. Although this city was some distance away from the Necros Fortress, it also belonged to the Gasro region.

Then again.

Although he knew that the hero was likely to arrive, Atofei did not issue any special orders.

If you must say, careful preparations must be going on inside Nekros Fortress.

But in a small town like this it doesn't matter.

Perhaps in Atofi's understanding, a brave man would not make things difficult for the soldiers and generals, but would directly carry out decapitation operations.

"In short, although we are nominally subordinates of Lord Atofi, we have not received any orders to intercept you here. If you intend to attack Atofi, please proceed directly to Necros Fortress."

After a brief explanation.

The town guards explained the situation to Ron and pleaded with him not to embarrass them, the grassroots personnel.

Of course, Ron had no such intention.

Rather...

"When did I write a declaration of war to attack Atofi?"

Ron turned to look at Rudeus in confusion.

The latter's expression wasn't much better either.

"Huh? But this matter... is already known to everyone in the entire Gasro region."

The guard was surprised.

Ron's eyes flickered, and the ominous premonition in his heart was stronger than ever.

He was certain that he had never written any declaration of war.

In the final analysis, he had no intention of attacking Atofi. If possible, he would not even plan to come here. Even if he came, he would not want to go to war with Atofi.

Three days ago, they were still in the town of Licaris.

The declaration of war is pure fiction.

However, it would be meaningless even if he asked the guard in front of him for confirmation, after all, he was just hearing it from others.

But no matter what, the entire Gasro region now knows that they are preparing to attack Atofi.

So what would Atofi himself think?

Ron didn't know.

But obviously, that would never turn out the way Ron wanted.

"Someone is really plotting against us, right?"

Rudeus said in a low voice.

Ron nodded slightly.

However, he did not delve into the matter further, but changed the subject and asked:

"We have no intention of causing any trouble here. We just came from a long way and want to rest for a while in the city. That should be okay, right?"

"Yes... We have not received any orders to stop the hero and his group from entering the city."

"Then please let us pass."

"...Please come in."

The guard didn't say anything else, but obediently made way.

Ron and Rudeus walked through the gate into the town one after the other.

After walking a little distance, Rudeus couldn't help but lower his voice and said:

"Why does it feel like this is going a little too smoothly? Is that guy going to report our whereabouts to Atofi's guards?"

"That's inevitable."

Ron's voice was equally soft.

For some reason, even though he knew the current situation was quite dire, he remained unusually calm.

Perhaps it was because he had already prepared for the worst.

"Calm down, Rudeus."

Looking at Rudeus's slightly heavy face, Ron said softly:

"Do you remember the three requests you promised me before?"

"I know, Ron."

"That's good."

Ron took a deep breath.

For a moment, his mind was in turmoil.

Finally made the decision with gritted teeth.

"Although we don't know who is behind all this, our great leader once said, 'You fight yours, I fight mine, but we must not be led by the nose by the enemy.'"

"Let's find a place to rest for a while."

"After dark, we will set off immediately and travel to Nekros Fortress overnight!"

Human-God Chapter: 119, War Begins

Ron actually had some vague guesses about everything that had happened recently.

I'm afraid it has something to do with that human god, Hitogami.

After all, no one can be so capable of strategizing and controlling everything in the dark, except the human god who can foresee everything.

Ron was puzzled.

He had no animosity towards the Human God. Although everything that guy did was despicable, Ron had never thought of defeating the Human God because of it.

That is too far away and too difficult for me.

Unless he is like Rudius, and there appears among his descendants someone who will pose a threat to humans and gods.

But is that possible?

After all, why was I summoned to this world?

This question remains unanswered to date.

No one could answer him.

"Damn, what a mess..."

Inside the hotel room.

Ron rubbed his brow hard.
