We entered the Principality of Liju.

　Although this is a small country, it has a long history and is dotted with ancient ruins.
　There may be a means to counter the Chaos lying dormant within....

　In fact, it seems that it was from one of these ruins that Valerie found the spell method for the Dark Chain.
　It may sound like we're grasping at clouds, but let's try to find out first.

　We continued along the road.

It's getting a little chilly around here.

　I shivered.
　It's much colder than in the Kingdoms of Shady and Larva, where we've been.

"Are you cold, Master Chrom?

　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
Thank you.

　I'm not as strong as the average person, and my body is not as strong as the average person.
　I'm not as strong as the average person.

　I'm not as strong as the average person.

I'll go with you.

　From the other side, Yurin leaned in close.
　She was sandwiched between the two girls.

　It made me feel even warmer.

"Mmm ......, maybe Yurin-chan also likes Chrome .......
I was just trying to make Chrome as comfortable as possible.

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

　Yurin became my [subordinate], and the [Darkness] skill I gave her turned her into a demon.

　Demon.
　As the name implies, he is a human with demonic attributes.

　They have strong athletic ability, high vitality, and immense magical power.

　Since Yurin has just become a demon, his level is not that high, but he still has overwhelming magical power compared to humans.
　If he trains himself, he will become even stronger.

　However, even though he is a "demon," he looks almost the same as when he was human.
　She has blue hair cut off at the shoulders, and a pretty face.
　A maid-like apron dress.

　The only difference is that the tips of her ears are a little more pointed than when she was human, and she's covered in a noxious miasma.



　Under the moonlight, I was standing in front of a tree.
　Shea and Yurin are waiting a few meters away.

"Let's get started, Rakshasa.
"Anytime. Host.

　A beautiful woman in black appeared as if oozing out of the void.
The Darkness' terminal... Rakshasa.

　I'll be back.

　I lightly snap the black chain extending from my right hand.

　What I'm about to do is test the performance of this chain.

　Perhaps it's because the darkness in me has increased, but this new power has become available.
　What can this chain do and what can it not do?

　I need to test it for future battles.

　Tëm, move.

　The tip of the chain moved like a sickle.
　It still moves according to my will.

　I don't need to say it. I just need to think it in my head.

　Stretch it.

　Now measure the length.
　The chain took my will and went straight.

　It stretches about 100 meters and then it stops.
　It seems it can't go any further.

"The approximate 'range' is 100 meters. ......

　When you try to move it in that state, the movement is slower than before.
　It seems that the longer it is extended, the less power it has to tighten or strike.

　In addition, even though it was a blow, the attack power itself was about the same as that of an ordinary warrior.
　In terms of damage, it would be a number like 10 or 20.

　Of course, this is nothing compared to the 9999 of [Fixed Damage].
　After all, it was only going to be used for restraints and other tricks like the one used in the Mycah battle.

　However, the black chain can reach farther than the fixed damage, and it seems to be quite useful in other ways than attacking.



　I finished my performance test and walked over to Shea and Yurin.

"Thanks for waiting.
"Thank you for your time, Master Chrom.

　Shea took out a towel and wiped my face.
　I must have used more energy than I thought, because before I knew it, I was sweating.

Thank you.
"Ugh, I wanted to do that too. ......

　Ugh, I wanted to do that too.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Now it's Yurin's turn.

　Shea hurriedly handed Yulin a towel.

Thank you very much.

　Yurin thanks her and takes the towel.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

　...... I didn't sweat so much that it would take two people to wipe it off.

　It was at that moment that I chuckled inwardly.

It's a good idea to have a little bit of time to think about what you're doing.



　I hear voices in the bushes behind me.

　A group of people appeared.
　There were five in all: a swordsman, a spearman, an archer, a wizard, and a monk .......

There's no doubt about it, they seem to have the power of darkness.
And that's where the brave Harold comes in!
I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I'm sure you'll agree.

"These guys...

　I raised my eyebrows and groaned.

　Two years ago, when I was still a member of the hero party, I knew these people somewhat.

　They were a different brave party from Juno and the others.
