Chapter 177.1
Selection Ceremony 2
The Selection Ceremony had started; the invasion of the desert town of Cutlass by the Demon Army was all part of this ritual to determine the Demon King.
It was not only to expose Camille, the son of the Demon Lord, but also to start a war in which the Demons put themselves in a position where they had to decide who would lead them.
As annoying as it sounds, the Demons’ resentment was that deep. But since I, as a human, did not refuse to join, and some of them even accepted humans like Camille’s mother, I felt that it was more of a hatred against the Holy Church and those who follow it, than a resentment against the humans.
“…Phew.”
I finally exhale as I move away from the enemies I’ve eradicated.
One of the side passages was hidden by a “wall” and led to another passage, and the “smell” and “sound” of monsters made them anxious, so I placed the Trap “hall” in front of the pit.
As expected, other clans were monitoring us, since we only knew the regular entrance to the dungeon. Twenty raiders seemed like a large number, but I felt it was quite small. If all the warriors who had been designated as candidates died, the clan would lose, but it was an unspoken agreement that no one else would enter the dungeon as ambush fighters.
The ambush fighters all seemed to have assassin skills; although they were in the Rank 2 to 3 range, that many would be enough to pose a threat to the advancing Camille.
