Chapter 545: The Past of the Mischievous Demon (side: Aruane)
＊＊＊＊
― One hundred years ago, in a remote forest of the Holy Country of Liarm, the Order of Holy Knights carried out a plan to subjugate the vampire called Aruane.
At the time, the death penalty was prohibited in the Holy Country, and those such as Aruane with peculiar skills were regarded as sacred individuals with the blessing of the Holy God. However, the order was given to slay Aruane regardless.
In the depths of the forest, the Holy Knights came under attack from swarm of monsters which forced them to split up, only to then suffer a surprise attack from Aruane.
“Belange-sama! You can’t defeat her with your injuries! I’ve seen with my own eyes! You can’t think of her as human! We should retreat!”
“We can’t! How many Holy Knights have died to that fiend!? As if we could fall back now! I… I’ll avenge them!”
Shaking off the terror paralysing his subordinates, the Holy Knight Commander Belange drags his injured body deeper into the forest by himself.
“I will kill that fiend… I’ll kill her! Even if I’m no match, I’ll at least give her a serious wound!”
Carrying his greatsword wet with the blood of monsters and breathing heavily, Belange pushes on.
