----------------------------------------------------------

Time flew by. About a week had passed since Emiya and Wiz's meal.

Because of the headless knight, Emiya's party hadn't gone on any monster-slaying quests for days.

However, since they had just split a reward of over ten million Eris, everyone had money, and there was no need to worry.

Besides, the Adventurers' Guild staff had also said that a Knight's order would be dispatched from the capital next month to take down the executive, so the headless knight would be repelled then.

The money they had was enough to last them until next month.

Even for the lavish Aqua, it was unlikely she could spend all that money in a month... right?

But Emiya knew that things were not that simple.

Over the past few days, Kazuma and Megumin had often gone out together.

When they returned, Megumin would be on Kazuma's back, a look of pure satisfaction on her face.

It was obvious what the two of them had been doing. The headless knight must be extremely annoyed right now.

It wouldn't be long before the headless knight would,

"Emergency broadcast! Emergency broadcast! Attention all adventurers! Please be prepared for battle and report to the town's main gate immediately!"

The familiar emergency broadcast echoed throughout the town.

Emiya rubbed his temples. He knew there was no need to wait any longer.

The headless knight had arrived.

The group quickly put on their armor and rushed to the scene.

At the town's main gate, a large number of adventurers had gathered.

When Emiya's party arrived, they saw a monster with an intimidating aura standing opposite the adventurers.

It was the headless knight, one of the eight executives of the Demon King's army.

In this world, the headless knight was a monster that brought despair and announced death.

They were already very powerful in life, but after becoming headless knights in death, they gained a body and special abilities that surpassed their living selves.

They had become even more powerful.

Ordinary adventurers were nothing more than a joke in

the eyes of the headless knight.

Now, such a monster stood before a large group of adventurers.

The knight, dressed in black armor, held his head in his left hand.

Under the watchful eyes of all the adventurers in town,

he raised his helmet-covered head to the crowd.

The head let out a muffled voice.

"I am an executive of the Demon King's army. I just moved into the nearby castle a while ago..."

As he spoke, the headless knight's head began to tremble slightly.

"Every... every every every... day day day day! A completely utterly insane lunatic comes to my castle and casts Explosion Magic every single day! Who... who is it?!"

It was clear that the headless knight was enraged.

But when Emiya saw this scene, he wasn't afraid. He found it absolutely hilarious. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

To be honest, he found this scene extremely funny when he saw it in the show, and now that he was seeing it in person, Emiya couldn't hold back anymore.

All at once, many adventurers looked at Emiya as if he were a lunatic.

This was the headless knight who announced death.

Laughing so loudly was too provocative. A group of adventurers who had been standing next to Emiya all took a step back in unison.

Even Megumin, Aqua, and Kazuma subtly took a step back.

In an instant, Emiya was all alone, with only Darkness standing beside him.

The headless knight's sharp gaze immediately fell on Emiya. He seemed to be holding back something.

"Do... do you find what I said so funny?"

Emiya raised his hand to wipe away a tear from laughing. "It's not that funny, I just couldn't help it. My apologies."

"It's too late for an apology," the headless knight released a powerful killing intent.

The headless knight had killed countless people, and his

killing intent was incredibly strong.

When Emiya faced this aura, although he wasn't paralyzed with fear, his heart was beating like a drum, and he found it difficult to breathe. Fortunately, he had come prepared.

"Aqua!" Emiya roared.

"I've been ready! How arrogant for an undead monster to attract so much attention! Disappear... Turn Undead!"

Emiya had already told Aqua before they came that as soon as he gave the signal, she should cast her Turn

Undead magic on the enemy.

Aqua heard Emiya's command and immediately took action, a beam of white light shooting from her hands.

But even after seeing Aqua's magic, the headless knight acted as if he wasn't afraid of such a thing and didn't try to dodge at all.

"Do you think a Demon King's army executive would go to battle without being prepared for a priest? Too bad. I, along with the undead knight legion I lead, have the blessing of His Majesty the Demon King! We have a very high resistance to holy magic, ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

What you said is correct, but the person casting the holy magic is not a regular adventurer.

She's a goddess! If it weren't for the armor's blessing from the Demon King, that one Turn Undead would have been enough to kill him.

"Huh? That's strange. My magic didn't work." Aqua was shocked that her magic hadn't purified the headless knight.

Emiya calmly said, "It's fine. If one doesn't work, let's try another one."

"You're right." Encouraged by Emiya, Aqua was full of confidence.

"Disappear now, you undead being who defies the will of the gods! Sacred Turn Undead!"

A white magic circle appeared at the feet of the headless knight, who hadn't recovered from the previous attack, and a pillar of light shot up into the sky from the circle.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh..."

Another scream echoed. Black smoke rose from the headless knight's armor as he fell to the ground, rolling around as if trying to extinguish the fire on his body.

"Again, Aqua." Emiya continued to encourage her.

"Sacred Turn Undead!"

"Again."

"Sacred Turn Undead."

"Again."

"Sacred Turn Undead."

One pillar of white light after another shot into the sky.

The headless knight's screams came one after another, each one more miserable than the last.

For some reason, the adventurers around them began to feel sorry for the headless knight.

"This is too miserable."

"That guy is a demon, a real demon!"

"Please, please, just finish him off already! Don't play with him anymore!"

Eventually, after withstanding more than ten of Aqua's attacks, the headless knight's armor shattered.

His head slipped from his hands and rolled all the way to Emiya's feet.

A slight smile appeared on Emiya's face.
