Volume 9, Chapter 19: Rise of Monsters 9 Night Bloodbath
This place is a cell, so there was only one room.
However, since it was a vip-level room, it was unusually large. There were even large beds that a person could lay across.
Yeah, the room contained 8 beds. And each one was extremely large.
Who came up with this crazy design. I really want to talk to him about life.
One of us doesn’t need a bed though.
Purewhite just stood at the side of the beds in her own sleep state. I didn’t notice how she slept before, but she can actually stand while sleeping?
Oyado burrowed under a blanket and went to sleep, but is it ok to not change clothes?
I remember that Oyado has been wearing the same clothes and killing the mercenaries for over a day...... at least take a shower.......she was motionless in bed though. I could only silently change clothes and get into bed.
The cloth on the lights was closed, and the lamps only gave out a slight glow.
Light is still shining through the window. It seems that a lot of things are going to happen tonight.
However, that’s James’s problem. I’m just a spectator. I will watch their actions before making my next action.
That 18 year old boy though. Since they didn’t come to look for me, they might not need my strength, or he may not understand he isn’t winning. Whatever the case, it’s meaningless to find him.
Because there isn’t a way to insert myself. Finding one would allow me to get onto his side.
Since there wasn’t any opportunity to talk to him, helping him now will only bring suspicion. This naturally won’t give a good outcome.
Therefore, it’s best to sit and watch what changes.
“That......”
Suddenly, the guildmaster’s voice came from the side.
“Today......Thank you very much, if it weren’t for you, perhaps the entire city......”
“Really, don’t be so polite. Anyways you are our guildmaster, I’m just a mercenary.”
I laughed in response, then looked towards the guildmaster.
Although there was a bed between us, there was enough light from the pearl lamps to see the guildmaster looking at me.
“No, you are strong, that’s enough for me to respect you, why shouldn’t I be polite?”
“Okay okay, you are free to do that. Anyways, why are there no high-level people in the city that can defeat the monsters? When this situation happens, how do you generally deal with them?
“That’s also something you don’t know, although Blue Lake City is a border city, it is an island city. Due to its design, there has never been an attack of monsters. A long time ago there were skirmishes with Beastmen, but after the city wall was built there were no more battles. Because of that there were no defensive assignments.”
“You slacked off because of all this peace......”
“Yes, and we are at the western end of the Witt Empire. We won’t be impacted by the eastern continent, so the country’s main force wasn’t be stationed here.”
“So the monsters choose to attack here.......”
“What?”
“Ah, I’m just making guesses. Guildmaster, before you assumed your post, during your time as a mercenary, you participated in wars?”
“Well, some.”
“The attacks of the monsters, can you tell if they are being coordinated in their attacks?”
“Yes.”
“That’s obvious. In order to have the greatest effect, they picked the worst cites so they would have the best chances of success. The weak defenses of Blue Lake City made it a preferred choice, am I right?”
“That’s right......it’s too much, what do these people want to do? Attacking with so many monsters, did they want to occupy this place?”
“No, they used explosive monsters, it seems they don’t want to occupy this place, but rather destroy it.”
“Destroy?”
“That’s right. Transforming a place is generally troublesome, but if you just have to rebuild it then the process goes much quicker.”
“This......who would actually......”
“Well, let it go, get some early sleep. Looking at the efficiency of of Mr. James, I think there are going to be a lot of things we need to do tomorrow.”
“What you’re saying...... makes sense.”
The room went quiet down again, I looked at the ceiling, and silently took out the potion Mari sensei had given me before.
Sleeping potion.
We can’t sleep in this world. Even if we close our eyes at night we can only daydream, but sleeping potions are not the same. It put us into sleep state, allowing our mental state to recover.
It has limited effectiveness. If there isn’t any disturbances, it will let me sleep up to 6 hours. Not more, or less. A perfect drug.
Tapping on the button, my vision gradually blurred over.
I hope I have good dreams.

At the same time in Blue Lake City’s Castle
“Damn! Damn mercenary! Who the hell! Who recorded that!”
Faust, the incumbent Duke was roaring in his meeting room. The people at the table next to him didn’t dare to speak out of fear that the anger would be directed at them.
“Also! That damn profiteer didn’t tell us! Where did that bastard hide my battle doll!”
“This......about that, he says they were hijacked on the road. So it may have been taken away.”
An official gingerly said.
“What? Why wasn’t the core stolen then? My most expensive battle doll was stolen!”
“Probably......because they didn’t find those things valuable, thinking they were common decorations......”
“Simply damn it! It’s too late to order more! You, hurry and load the core into the old battle doll, I want them ready to fight in an hour!”
“Yes! I’ll do it.”
“What...... what about the merchant?”
One of the officials asked in a small voice.
“That trash, kill him! Do you want to pay him? No matter how many of those low-lifes there are, there is no need to show mercy.”
The Duke’s face had become tinged with madness. It seemed the problems had pushed him to his limit.
“We’ll behead the group of mercenaries tomorrow! Along with their guildmaster, we will say they tried to escape together! Got it!”
“This...... we......”
The officials instantly went into counsel, they effectively knew of the strength of the magic swordsman and the guildmaster from their subordinates, for those people, there were insufficient forces here to attack them.
“What are you afraid of! Put the latest core into the battle doll! Are you afraid of those mercenaries!”
After hearing that, the faces of the surrounding people immediately turned to relief.
“That’s it, those dolls are incredibly strong. How can we be afraid of some mercenaries.”
“Exactly, our Duke has great foresight.”
At this point, the room’s door suddenly opened. 10 soldiers came into the room carrying different weapons.
“Ha ha, soldiers, you are my main weapons. you......”
Before he finished, the battle dolls suddenly pulled out their weapons, and massacred the officials in the chamber!
The Duke didn’t react. He was the only one left alive in the room.
He touched a splash of red on his white face. Softly, he fell from his seat.
“My dear brother, you are so naive~”
The door opened, and James came with a smile.
“Congratulations. Now, I now can arrest you for treason. You are under arrest for blasphemy and treason,.you will spend your entire life...... inside a jail cell!”
Then he turned to his own men.
“Kill! Kill anyone that’s unnecessary!”
“Yes!”
The bloodbath had begun.
