Kazuma: Last chance to back out, you sure you want to do this?

(Y/N): Yeah, I'm sure. Besides, you make it sound as if I'll be out there alone.

Kazuma: Yeah, you're right about that...

Even your reassurance put the brown haired teen at ease, although he quickly remembered about the fact that most of the team were practically helpless.

Upon reaching the main gate, your party stepped forward to be at the front of the crowd to face the next challenge. Meanwhile, it seems as if your ex-fiance decided to watch your group from behind the crowd.

Snow: Please be safe (Y/N)...!

Everyone in your team readied themselves and watched as the armored Dullahan stared angrily at your group. In fact, there was even a dark aura that surrounded his body as he practically growled and while the head revealed a glowing red eye.

Dullahan: What is wrong with you people?! WHY ARE YOU STILL BOMBARDING MY CASLTE?!?!

While Kazuma tried to reason with the general, your attention was immediately turned towards the red clad crimson demon. She let out a small, nervous laugh as she was the first to notice your annoyed look.

(Y/N): You're lucky that he was coming back, anyways...

Dullahan: That crimson demon has been blowing up castle for the past week!!

And now, Kazuma immediately looked at Megumin, who turned her head away, knowing that she was guilty as charged. The result was Kazuma pinching her cheeks and lecturing the girl about using her spells on the castle.

While all of this was happening, you decided to retreat into the crowd and met with Darkness, who stayed in the back to hide her presence to keep the dullahan distracted.

(Y/N): Luckily, he's too pissed off at Megumin to even care about your "death."

Darkness: That may be fortunate but I still worry for her safety.

(Y/N): I'm sure we can make it through this.

Darkness: By the way.. What weapon is that? I've never seen such a strange design.

She referred to the sheathed odachi that is currently strapped on your back.

(Y/N): It's a type of sword where I'm from.

Suddenly, everyone felt a massive pressure as the Dullahan released a wave of his aura across the land. Your body seemed to react as well since your eyes began to glow, Darkness took notice of this but kept her attention on the enemy.

Dullahan: I am Verdia and you will hear me out! Your fiery taunts offend but there is something else. None of you have come out seeking retribution for your ally's death!

(Y/N): *snicker* If only he knew!

Verdia: In life, I swore to be an upstanding knight and my opinion, that Crusader was an ideal knight! She used her body as a shield from my death curse and to abandon her-

The dullahan simply froze in his spot, attempting to speak as you and Darkness slowly made your way through the crowd.

Darkness: Gosh, I-I'm ideal? I'm so glad that you'd think so!

(Y/N): Ideal would be an understatement.

Verdia's eyes widened even further as you made your own appearance due to the fact that you were also another person that had supposedly perished. Yet...

Verdia: YOU'RE ALIVE?!?!?!?! How are you still... ALIVE?! AND YOU!!

You felt a glare in your direction as the general was stunned to see your presence.
