Chapter 42: He’s a hero?
Now that the merchants had been completely exposed, there was no holding back for them.
Once they stopped holding back, they all transformed into their demon forms.
There were all kinds of strange appendages that started growing from their bodies as they spread out all around our group.
With the way that they spread out, it was clear that they were wary of one thing.
It was the hero’s sword that was in my hand.
They recognized that this hero’s sword was dangerous to them, which was why they were being so cautious around it. Especially the ones that had already felt the sting of the hero’s sword, they didn’t want to be careless and feel that pain again.
As for our party, they also seemed like they were affected.
It was their first time facing demons like this, so I understood why they would feel this way.
"Don’t be afraid, this is what you signed up for. It’s just that it came sooner than you expected. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to be afraid, the demons aren’t monsters that can’t be defeated."
They were caught off guard when they suddenly heard me say this, but then their shaking stopped and confidence returned to their eyes.
In fact, it seemed like they were looking at me with even more admiration than before.
