I observed Gald’s corpse once more.
The cut surface of the flesh was certainly clean.
“Even the Knights Order couldn’t tell… Was he not defeated by a bladed weapon?”
In any case, I have to search… No matter where they are, I will find them. I’ll turn them into mincemeat and make them taste the hell of this world…
As I thought that… I suddenly remembered my friend’s last words.
‘This is… war. There is justice on both sides… and, there is… evil… on both sides.’
…That’s right. But still, Ganjis, Gald, I will definitely defeat the Demon Lord’s Army that killed you.
“First, I need to know the opponent’s weapon…”
However, because of the extremely unusual way he died, I have no idea what they used…
At that moment, I remembered Erna’s words.
‘However, Gald-san should have been able to use much bigger Darkness… Why such thin Darkness?’
That’s right, if I think about it calmly, is it even possible for Gald to make his Darkness smaller?
In the first place, aside from becoming smaller, it looks like it was intentionally made thin.
This is, Gald was trying to convey something to us at the moment of his death… In other words, a Dying Message?
But, something thin like…
“Wait, could it be…”
When I observed a part of Gald’s corpse closely, the area around the cut surface was discolored to a light purple.
“…I see, so that’s it.
The weapon the culprit used… It’s highly likely to be Thread.
Gald was trying to indicate Thread with thin Darkness!”
“How perceptive! I-ya, you don’t seem to be just a simple idiot, you’re quite sharp, though not as much as me.”
A voice came from above.
“…Did you do this to Gald?”
When I looked up, a still young, blue-haired boy was looking at me with amusement.
“That’s right, this kid was quite strong too, you know. It even took me a whole second to kill him. And he even left a Dying Message at the end… By the way, you’re Kaine-chan, right?”
“Someone like you doesn’t deserve to know my name.”
“Ah ha! Good, good. Keep that up, okay? I’ll use you as my plaything for a long time!”
As he said that, a large amount of Thread came rushing from around us.
Certainly, it’s fast, Erna might be able to see it, but Gald wouldn’t be able to.
But, for me now, it’s a piece of cake.
I hit the Thread with my Sword with all my might.
However, the Thread didn’t break.
“！？”
This is bad, so I instinctively avoided the Thread with Shukuchi.
“Haha, isn’t it strange? My Thread is special, you know, it can’t be cut easily. It’s made of precious metals, and it’s highly resistant to fire.”
Tch! Troublesome.
However, do the Four Heavenly Kings have to show off their cards one by one to feel satisfied?
“To go out of your way to tell me that, you must be either extremely confident or an idiot.”
“Fufu… Come to think of it, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Nedria, one of the Demon Lord’s Four Heavenly Kings, Threader. Honestly… I’m stronger than the Demon Lord, you know?”
“Heeh… Your bluffing is top-notch.”
“Hmph, don’t be ridiculous! My Thread has never been cut by anyone! In other words, you can’t beat me!”
“Then I’ll become your first and last victor.”
With those words as a signal, the battle restarted.

I didn’t get any feedback on the names of the Four Heavenly Kings, so I came up with them myself.
…I’m sorry.
