‘……I have no idea what just happened.’
I struggled to comprehend the situation.
How did capturing the Golden Twilight Knight Commander lead to us being dragged into Hell?
The Sanctuary of Demons DLC began with the player, while dealing with demon worshippers, being pulled into Hell by a malfunctioning summoning circle.
I had never heard of this happening during the Golden Twilight Knight Commander fight.
‘I don’t even know the cause.’
Something must have triggered this, but I had no clue what.
The story had deviated so drastically from the game that pinpointing the cause was near impossible.
“Hell……”
Cecilia scoffed.
“I concur. What else could this horrific landscape be?”
I wholeheartedly agreed with her assessment.
A hill of human skulls, a river of human blood, wooden stakes adorned with impaled humans—if that wasn’t horrific, I didn’t know what was.
“Commander of the Dark Starry Night Knights… Tsk, too cumbersome. I shall call you Delta from now on.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Cecilia, seemingly annoyed by the lengthy title, switched to my name. I was already used to the name that sounded like I should be wielding a drill in some underwater city.
“Do you know a way out, or something equivalent?”
“I do. There are a few things we must deal with first. But to my knowledge, it is the only way.”
There was no reason to lie, and Cecilia seemed confident that I knew the way.
I nodded calmly.
Of course, I knew the way out. It involved defeating the final boss and escaping. Since fast travel via statues wasn’t possible, I had no other choice.
Besides, utilizing Cecilia’s strength was essential for smoother progress. It was far more efficient to let her handle the fighting, even if it meant sacrificing some experience points.
“Very well. No further explanation is necessary.”
Cecilia raised her holy sword.
“Shall I lead the way?”
“Lead the way? Such a lack of understanding of a servant’s duty. Truly disloyal.”
A faint smile touched her lips. A smile filled with joy, yet chillingly savage.
“I have awaited this day. The opportunity to personally eradicate these creatures. Why seek an escape so soon?”
“…….”
So that’s why.
I observed Cecilia’s savage, joyful smile, pondered for a moment, and decided on our destination.
“Your Majesty, then I shall lead you to a different path.”
“A different path?”
“Yes. Even Your Majesty requires rest between demon slaying. I know a place where we can find assistance.”
Calling it a “person” was a bit of a stretch, but it was the only non-hostile NPC here.
In the game, I could rest at statues, but not here. We needed a place to recuperate.
“Did you just say ‘person’? In Hell?”
Her voice was laced with disbelief. Understandably so. A normal human in Hell was certainly unusual.
“You will understand when we arrive.”
Even if her holy sword reacted, I could convince her with a few words.
Cecilia, without a word, followed me towards the house. She hadn’t even asked who lived there. Her trust in me seemed absolute.
We arrived at a one-story house made of withered wood, identical to the one in the game, but slightly larger. Cecilia knocked on the door.
The sound echoed loudly.
—Bang! Bang! Bang!
The door flew open almost immediately.
“Are you insane?! What if a demon hears—……”
The person who emerged started to yell, then froze, staring at the hill of demon corpses we had left in our wake.
‘A woman.’
The homeowner, as expected, was a woman.
Long brown hair tied in a ponytail that reached her ankles, and healthy, tanned skin.
She wore a small yellow bikini, and her breasts were substantial, but I was no longer fazed by such attire.
My tolerance for such things had increased considerably.
“Those demons are all dead.”
“Uh… uh… so it seems.”
“We can come in, right?”
“Huh?”
The woman, her eyes wide with disbelief, instinctively stepped aside. Even she seemed surprised by her own reaction, her eyes widening further.
I gestured to Cecilia that it was safe to enter. She stepped inside without hesitation. I followed.
The woman, staring back and forth between the mountain of demon corpses outside and us inside, carefully closed the door.
