The castle has fallen.
　There was no particular announcement, but everyone in the capital knew it was coming.
　In the castle, where the sounds of battle had long since ceased, a rose banner painted with fresh blood hung in the air, and the undead strode through the corridors on the castle walls.

　Finally, a large army from the neighboring territories began to rush in, but everything was already over.
　When the knights saw the banner on the castle, they stopped on the road.
　There was no way they could retake the castle against a monster that had defeated the strongest knight order in the country and even defeated the strongest warrior, the First Knight Commander.
　There were no undead guards on the walls of the city, but even so, they did not dare to set foot in the royal capital, as if they were afraid of something.

　This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

"Ah ............ ah ...... ah, ah ...... ah, ah... ...

　In front of the castle, an execution table was set up, where the slow execution continued.
　There was an intermittent stream of broken moans that could not be called screams.

　Lawrence was hung on the crucifixion table.
　What used to be Lawrence was hanging.

　The upper half of his body still retains its original form.
　But the lower half of his body has been replaced by a bulky, pulsating mass of flesh about three times the size of Lawrence's original body.

　On the execution table, several zombies were crowded together. They devoured Lawrence's flesh with their appetites. Bite after bite, Lawrence groaned.
　With his tongue ripped out and his throat crushed, he can no longer make a sound.

　Lawrence's body is being devoured by the zombies, but he is not dying.
　But he doesn't die, because his companion, Rich, will heal him before the damage exceeds the allowable amount.
　However, it was not a magic for the human race.

"Repair Corpses.

　As Rich cast the spell, one of the zombies that had been acting as the executioner fell into the mass of flesh on Lawrence's lower body.
　The zombie fused directly into the mass of flesh, and in exchange Lawrence's injured body recovered. A replacement zombie ascended to the execution table.
　This lower half of the body was, as it were, a fuel depot. It provided the materials to regenerate the upper half of the body and the nutrition to keep Lawrence alive.

　The current Lawrence, whose life is sustained by splicing together dead bodies, is no longer a human being, but more like a fresh golem.
　But since his life has not ended yet, his soul has not left his body, and he has not lost his consciousness as a human being.

　His head was tied to a crucifix and fixed so that he was facing straight ahead.
　At the end of the table is a large mirror that the skeletons are holding as an offering. It was taken from the castle.
　Through this mirror, which is lit up with magical lights at night, Lawrence continues to see his own deformed form.
　Proof of defeat. The end of what was once the glorious First Knight Commander.

　In front of the execution table, there is a space for spectators.
　There are no citizens there, but they're simply too afraid of the undead to approach.
　On the street leading to the square, from the shadows of the building, there are people watching Lawrence.

　Some of them vomited and fainted from the horror and disgust.
　Some kneeled and prayed to God in despair.
　And there were those who laughed at ....... There were citizens who soured over the fate of the Knight Commander who betrayed the former King Elbert.

"Kill ...... me ...... kill .............

　* * *

　On the other side of the city wall, Hilbert was going through the same thing.

He was being eaten alive.

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　In the mirror, there was a king who had become a horrible sight to behold. No king should show such a thing to his people. It is the king's role to mend himself and be a beacon to his people no matter what their plight.

　Hilbert knew that there was no way to save himself, and that death was the only release.
　However, someone might still come to save him. If so, he would have to speak to that hero as a king.
　That thought alone kept Hilbert sane.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life and what you're going to do about it. ...... You don't know that Rene has seen through Hilbert's thoughts and is preparing his next attack.

　I'm not sure.

　At first, the people of King's Landing began to flee, first in small groups and then in large caravans.
　Since the undead were all holed up in the castle, they could escape if they wanted to.
　Some loaded their belongings into carriages, some pulled carts, some carried them on their backs, and some carried themselves.
　The reinforcements that were being assembled were left to guide the refugees.

　René watched from the balcony of the royal castle as the evacuation took place like a procession of ants.

"Run!

　Rene muttered to himself.

Run away," René muttered, as if to say, "I may kill you someday, I may destroy you eventually, but I'm not in the mood.
　Run, fear. Rest in your nightmares.

　Some of them would have loved the coup, some of them would have loved to see Rene executed. You can kill them all. You can kill them all. If you shoot the "Play Gray" from here into the ranks of the refugees, there will be 100 deaths.
　But right now, we've had our fill of destroying a country. People who lost their countries were thrown into chaos. Everyone will suffer and some will die. That's enough for now.
　Too many atrocities in a row would creak ...... the heart. So that's enough for now.



　--I wonder if they would be more scared if they thought I was 'fickle and unpredictable'?

　Rene thought with a bit of strength.

　Besides, killing is not always revenge. Making them regret it, giving them time to despair, is also revenge.
　So that's it for now.

Well.

　Rene left the balcony and entered the castle. Right there is the audience hall.

　The audience hall is filled with human bones.
　They were the undead soldiers ...... used in the battle of King's Landing.
　Since leaving them out would consume magic power, those not in use were returned to mere corpses for the time being.
　Only the elite ghouls kneeled quietly around the throne to greet Rene.

　Rene leaps onto the throne and sits down, gazing out at the horrible, desolate landscape.
　The hall is filled with dirty bones. The once-white walls are covered with red roses, cursed with blood.

"Where shall I destroy next?

　*

　The adventurer's guild in Saktamburg, the capital of the Gilesh Hathar Federation, is the "Northwest Region Headquarters," in charge of not only the huge Federation as a whole, but also the guilds of the surrounding nations.
　Inside the building, which is larger than the Royal Castle of Ciel-Teirah, not only do they manage adventurers and quests, but they also conduct affairs and make policy decisions that rival those of a national government.

　Near the top of the building.
　A group of high-ranking guild officials were gathered in a meeting room that looked like it could have hosted a summit meeting with foreign heads of state.
　They were seated at a round table, and in their hands were sheets of paper that had been magically transferred.

　One of them was a Named Wanted document created by the Adventurer's Guild branch in Ciel-Teirah.
　It shows a picture of a beautiful girl with her eyes quietly closed as if in prayer, holding her own head as an offering.

　The agenda is to designate a wide area for Named Monsters.
　Named monsters are usually designated individually by the guilds in the area where they are active, but if they are too strong or move from place to place, or if they have a widespread influence, the headquarters will assess them and designate them for a wide area.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

　The man on the named monster selection committee said impatiently.
　To this, the chairman replied.

It's a tentative designation. We'll have to investigate later.
We can't just start designating eighth heroes and ninth bravers.
Left. If you say "Great", at least the average person won't go near it.
You mean with an annotation?
That's right.

　Some of them groaned when they saw the handbook.
　The existence of powerful monsters often comes to light out of the blue, but most of the time, people miss the process of the monster's growth and only recognize it when it reaches a phenomenal level.
　In this case, on the other hand, the monster is really just born, but it has extraordinary power.
　The story is too narrative, including the circumstances of its birth.

　However, it is good to enjoy a story as a story, not to be put on the stage of a real tragedy.

But isn't this a form of ...... negligence? It's been a month since the narrow (local) designation was issued and we haven't been notified.

　When someone says this, everyone's eyes focus on one of the people sitting at the round table.
　He is an obese old man with an egg-like form. He was the former guild leader (master) of Ciel-Teira. He had come to the Northwest Region Headquarters to make a report.

　Normally, a case of Named designation, no matter how small, would be reported to the higher headquarters. The purpose of this is to examine the case to see if it needs to be designated as a wide area or if there is any information of note mixed in. This was not the case.

　Scratching his head with only a few gray hairs, the guild leader (master) of Ciel-Teirah explains.

The guild leader of Ciel-Teirah, scratching his head, with only a few gray hairs remaining, defended himself. Because they were reluctant to give us information, we couldn't say whether they were there or not.
As for complaining, I'm afraid that person is no longer with us.
You've left me with a messy souvenir. ......

　The last king of Ciel-Teira, who was responsible for the creation of the mighty Named Monsters, was anathema to everyone.
　If there are strong monsters there, it is not necessarily a business opportunity ...... for the adventurer's guild.
　In some cases, there is more work to be done to ensure the safety of adventurers who are members of the guild. This is especially true if you are dealing with a large monster that requires a wide area to be named.

Let's make a decision.
　The Dullahan Lord mutant or Rich Lord mutant that has been confirmed in the Kingdom of Ciel-Teira. This is the seventh grade of threat (Great), and is designated as the "Rose Princess of Hell.
"No objection.

　Thus, the designation of the Named was unanimously decided.

　However, they soon found out.
　However, they soon learned that even the designation of a widespread Named Monster equivalent to the seventh grade (Great) was too lenient a response.

　The named monster "Rose Princess of Hell". She will eventually destroy the world. ......

The following is a report. The frequency of Sea Serpents in the area of activity of the Callisto mechanized pirates in the South Sea is ......".
