[The 12th floor is being given.]
As soon as the voice could be heard, something poured on the window.
Drip. Drip.
It was rain.
Rain slid down the fancy window in the reception room. For a moment, we turned out gazes to look outside. It wasn’t because we were surprised by the sound. There was something else that made us surprised.
“Uh, uhhhhh…”
“Nightmare! The rain of nightmare is pouring down again!”
The color of the rain.
It was as red as blood. No, it might’ve been actual blood. The NPCs who were with us started to hold their heads and groan.
“Goddess, please don’t abandon us!”
“W, What/. Why are they suddenly being like this…?”
The exhausted Venomous Snake looked around him.
“It’s the Devil King…”
The NPCs wearing armor muttered. They were crouched down on the ground with trembling shoulders. Like the trembling was infectious, groans started to come from everywhere.
“It’s the end of the empire now…”
“The Devil King is coming…’
“Your Majesty….where is our emperor…?”
All of their faces were dark. Despair. Acceptance. Exhaustion. Their faces were no different than actual humans.
The Venomous Snake gulped.
“T, They’re funny. Hey. This is all acting, right? What happened now?”
“The quest has begun.”
I spoke quietly.
“We won’t fight if we stay still. If there’s arguments between us, they’ll have no choice but to attack us.”
“Attack? Who?”
“Who do you think?”
I looked outside the window.”
“The being that caused these arguments between.”
Laughter flowed in my head.
]The Devil King of Fall Rain is agreeing with you.]
The rain poured down harder. The sound that was like someone knocking instantly became even more quiet. Tens of red drops covered the window.
“······.”
I approached the window. I could’t see outside from here. Because the rain was too bad, the entire window was red. I broke the window with my sheath.
Red rain poured into the reception room. I saw clearly down what was happening outside. The palace. The city beyond the palace. The great wall beyond the city.
[The Devil King of Fall Rain is manifesting.]
It was beyond the city walls.
-Pitiful things.
It whispered quietly.
Yes. It was a whisper.
Just a whisper climbed over the walls, the city, and flowed into the reception room through the broken window.
-Did you think humans summoned from another world would be your shield? Did you think they would be your heroes?
The rain endlessly poured.
-Come at me. Come at me as much as you want. Summon as many as you want. Call for thousands of warriors and knights. It’s pitiful you can’t realize that they’re only humans like you.
The voice rang through the pouring rain. It rang in the walls. It rang in the palace’s walls. It rang in the reception room’s wall. It laughed. It was a loud laughter. The laughter echoed and echoed, ringing our ears.
“Agh…”
The NPCs bent down further. They gripped their heads like they were in pain.
We were better off than them. It was our first time hearing the laughter. It was bearable. If we had to listen to that voice for over a year, the story would change.
-Things who don’t see humans as humans.
It was then.
On the map that only I could see, red spots suddenly started to appear on the map. One. Two. Three. The red dots that were slowly appearing, grew exponentially.
Hundreds.
Thousands.
Ten thousands.
Soon, the entire horizon turned into red.
-Be swallowed by your evil.
It hailed.
The sky and the earth suddenly became pale, and the things between it showed themselves.
It was the monsters that were the red dots.
“······.”
“······.”
The hunters shut their mouths. It was a monster army incomparable to the one on the 11th stage. A colossal army was heading towards us.
-Krrrr.
