In fact, at first, Sivi really didn't notice that the Lord of Dread was watching them nearby.

If it weren't for that guy's clever use of the Restless Aura, Sivi, who was focused on trying to change history, would never have been able to notice him.

And immediately after that, Sivi quietly whispered to Giraud and Raven through the wind elemental.

It's a pity that the Lord of Fear's life-saving methods and escape ability were beyond his expectations, not only did the combined attack of the two of them not work, but even the bondage magic failed to stop the strange black mang that the other party turned into when he fled.

At the bar of the Iron Axe Tavern in Stein, a sighing Sivi was eating lunch with Raven. Giraud, on the other hand, is long gone.

"Why would you try so hard to change history?" Raven took a sip of the ale and sighed helplessly.

Hearing this, Sivi stopped tearing rye bread in his hand, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little surprised.

But then he showed a relieved expression again.

Also, after all, he has done it so obviously, it is naturally impossible for Raven's wisdom not to see what Sivi meant.

"It's nothing, I just don't like so-called fatalism."

He replied evasively.

"Then why did you let go of Giraud in the end?"

The girl asked again.

"I made a pact with him that as long as he could hurt me, I would allow him to go to that final battle." Sivi sighed and pointed to a sword wound on his face.

This is when he used the Void Sword to flank the Lord of Dread with Giro. The result of Giro's failure to collect his sword was caused by Sivi's mage alarm to avoid it in time, so it was only a bruising Cheng Dù.

Compared with Xiwei's free sending and receiving, Giro's control ability to put and not receive is obviously weaker.

But because of this weakness, the conditions in the initial gambling contract were reached.

"It's like the corrective power of the legendary world......"

"So you have that scar because of the world's corrective power?" The girl picked up a french fries from her plate, dipped it in pepper and salt, and did not rush to eat, but asked casually: "With your ability, if you want to eliminate this injury, it's just a matter of blinking, right?" ”

"Nope. I'm just reminding myself that accidents are scary. Sivi touched the scar on his face. Shaking his head, he said to the girl who was chewing slowly.

"So what are you going to do next? Or is it as originally planned, to peek at the battle of Taliesid from afar? The girl swallowed the fries in her mouth, "Although I don't think it will be of much use." ”

"Plans need to change......

Sivi bit the nail of his right thumb and groaned for a moment. Raise your head again: "If you can't change history...... Then I'll just take a walk and look at the other paths. ”

"Other roads?"

Raven tilted her head in confusion.

But then Sivi won't talk about it anymore. He began to munch on the golden barbecue that the boss had brought him. made the girl frown, but she was helpless against him.

――Dividing Line――

The Lord of the Plague is currently the most feared enemy of the Abyssal Demon Army, and there is no one.

The point is that its own plague ability, spreadability, and lethal effect are very strong. It's hard to guard against.

What's more, there have been plague walking corpses near Stein City recently, and the humans killed by its attacks will also become the same kind of monsters.

This is also the proud work of the Lord of the Plague, the last time because of carelessness, it was caught by humans, and it almost became the first demon king to be cursed by humans.

It's just that later the incarnation of the Lord of Fear turned against a sorcerer in the human camp and stole the shadow of the Lord of Plague from the human base camp.

It was because of this incident that the plague walker felt that he had suffered a great shame, and the plague lord came out to toss mankind.

Its tactics have been very successful, at least for now.

"Not only being killed by the plague walking corpses, but even just being physically touched and injured by them, there is a very high chance of infection."

St. George handed the report in his hand to the tall man in front of him.

If Sivi was here, he would be able to recognize this man as the Knight Captain of the Imperial Sword Knights he had met when he came to this era, Larry as the Eleventh Knight.

"This is what we discovered when we went out to clear the enemy. To be honest, it's not a particularly difficult situation to spot, but for some reason, it wasn't mentioned in the previous notice from Command. ”

St. George reported with a stern face, "I think this information must be communicated to the whole army, so that they may be prepared in the face of these plague walking corpses. ”

"No need, Command will naturally take care of this matter."

Larry sighed and shook his head: "The reason why the command doesn't make much of it, just because I asked you to deal with the plague walking corpses, is because I am afraid of a riot...... Since the completion of Stein, there have been several unexplained riots in the city, and even the Overseer Knights who intervened in the investigation have mysteriously died, and now it is the eve of the decisive battle, and the command does not want to let the morale of the army be too discouraged. ”

"But ......"

St. George, whose personality can be regarded as upright, and can even be said to be one-eyed, frowned.

He didn't like to use this kind of trick to hide information from the junior sergeants to stabilize the morale of the army.

"I know you're not happy, but the big picture is important, and a lot of times we have to do things we don't want to do." Larry shrugged.

He has already become a knight chief, he is naturally much more sleek than St. George, and this kind of intelligence control that seems to be suspicious of human life is not unseen.

In addition, he had already chosen St. George as the next chief knight, and he didn't hide much when he spoke: "And, once you are infected with that plague, you will become a plague walking corpse when you die—have you ever thought about what it would be like if you were infected while still alive?" ”

"Infected while alive?" What came to St. George's mind was the image of the ancient dragon Freud being infected by the shadow of the plague lord and losing his mind and running wild: "Will you be controlled by the plague lord?" ”

"If only that were the case. At least we don't have to worry about 3721 and just kill them. Larry stroked the hilt of his sword and said with a wry smile: "If you are infected while you are alive, although your mind is still awake, you will subconsciously move around, and your body will decay at an extremely fast rate, and the rotten parts may be bloody. The bodily fluids of living infected people, including blood, are also one of the ways to spread infection. In other words, once infected, that person becomes a mobile source of infection! ”

"They're all alive, but they're no longer eligible to live." Larry's hand had unconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword, and the protruding green tendons on his arms and wrists made it clear that his heart was not as calm as he seemed: "In order to erase these former companions, the command has set up a special crusade unit, named -"

- Knights of the Funeral Wanderer. (To be continued......)
