Chapter 40

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

First, there were two things I found out.

To begin with, on the outside, there was nothing strange about this village.

It was just an ordinary village that could be seen anywhere.

But when I used time stop, the story changed.

The residents had the terrifying appearance of severed body parts haphazardly sewn together.

The chilling point was that they themselves couldn’t even grasp their own problems.

They were killing and roasting their own kind in a horrible manner, yet none of them noticed anything strange.

And that was a problem that even I, an outsider, couldn’t notice until time stop was activated.

In other words, upon entering the village, one falls under hypnosis.

That was the conclusion I reached.

If I didn’t have the time stop ability, the moment I entered, I would have been done for.

Thanks to that, I also found out that the time stop ability included hypnosis cancellation, but I wasn’t happy about it.

After time stop is hypnosis.

Isn’t that one of the classic NTR elements?

I could forgive anything else, but I absolutely couldn’t forgive that hypnotist.

Damn NTR bastards.

But since I had no intention of ruining things with anger, I calmly started gathering information one by one using time stop.

The time stopped state guaranteed absolute safety.

Of course, there were limits to the information that could be obtained with time stop, but still, thanks to that, I was able to safely collect a fair amount of information.

The information I found out was as follows:

[Judging from the uniform shape of the dwarves, it seems they made them as their own sort of artistic works.]

[In the center of the village, there is a huge tent made of red cloth that clearly doesn’t fit the village.]

[But most of the dwarves entering there have the appearance of boys and girls, and their outward appearance is also very good.]

In the end, I have no choice but to go into that red tent.

I let out a deep sigh.

I really don’t want to go in. Because it’s scary.

But since I’d already taken on the job, I had no choice.

Moreover, I even had the cheat like ability of time stop.

I swallowed my saliva.

If the situation was really dangerous, I’d run away without hesitation then.

First, I investigated the shortest distance from the village to the red tent.

As a result, I could reach the red tent in 2 minutes from the village entrance.

I hid my body in a suitable place.

“Phew, phew!”

I couldn’t go in right away.

I had to at least wait for the time stop cooldown to fully recover before entering.

At worst, an attack could come flying as soon as I entered.

Then I would die right away.

After confirming that the time stop cooldown had fully recovered, I immediately entered the red tent.

The inside of the tent was very dark and quiet.

At least until I went inside.

Suddenly, something like firecrackers started exploding on the ceiling of the dark tent, and the entrance of the tent where I had entered disappeared in an instant.

What the fuck?

Could it be that this was a trap?

“As expected of the Royal Knights commander! I can’t help but admire that bold and fearless spirit!”

“What the hell is that?”

The dark tent became bright.

Inside, there were audience seats surrounding me as if to encircle me.

And there were children there, each with a strange and smiling face.

The voice was coming from the air.

Naturally looking up, I saw a man walking a tightrope connected to the air.

His body was quite small, but he was wearing unnecessarily flashy clothes and had clown-like makeup on his face.

It wasn’t just the clothing or makeup.

His tone and every single action were excessively exaggerated.

Thanks to that, just watching him made me feel very bad.

It’s not like he’s T-bagging or anything.

He still poured out his voice to me while moving around with exaggerated gestures.

“Surely someone of the Royal Knights commander’s caliber couldn’t have failed to notice this obvious trap, right? Yes, of course!”

“…”

I just kept my mouth shut.

There was no need for me to deliberately let the enemy know that I was an idiot.

In this situation, it was better to act confidently to make the opponent nervous.

“I have no intention of going along with your petty rhythm. As a Royal Knight, I will behead the necks of demons. That is all.”

“Cool! Excellent! Indeed, the rising star, the new Royal Knights commander!”

“…But why is he talking like that…?”

“For such an excellent commander, we have prepared a special guest! You must be familiar with them, right?”

Firecrackers exploded again.

At the same time, they suddenly popped out of the air where there was nothing before.

They were all monsters with grotesquely distorted appearances.

I immediately stopped time.

During the past two months, I hadn’t been idle either.

Through sparring with the Royal Knights members, I maximized my skills.

In particular, I gained a lot of combat experience using time stop.

As a result, I was able to master the technique of moving quickly in the stopped time and cutting down the enemy.

Kicking off the ground and instantly closing the distance, I swung my sword right away.

Crunch!

Thanks to that, I was able to stop time and attack as soon as I saw them. And time stop was released.

At the same time, the monsters’ heads fell to the ground.

Then the ringmaster shouted in shock,

“Oh my god! Goodness! Cutting them down without hesitation! Do you have no blood or tears?!”

I pointed the tip of my sword at him and said,

“Where is there mercy to bestow upon the enemy?”

In the first place, I don’t know who they are.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

The best stage had to be created.

That obsession was the driving force that brought it to its current position.

The madness that didn’t exist in mere monsters brought it all the way up to the status of a demon.

Blood magic or being low-level, none of that mattered.

It only wanted a stage where everyone could enjoy themselves.

So it always pondered.

How can I create a good stage?

How can I make everyone laugh happily?

It pondered and pondered every day.

It indulged in knowledge.

In order to decorate the stage, it never hesitated to study even human literature.

“Excellent! Truly excellent! Human!”

It accumulated a lot of experience.

It learned that touching young children provoked more intense reactions.

It also realized that making comrades fight each other was the best stage.

Look.

Even now, countless spectators are cheering, aren’t they?

Royal Knights, our hateful nemesis. But I don’t hate you.

Because you are nothing more than an actor playing the role of a hateful nemesis.

And a new actor stepped onto the stage.

The newly appointed commander right after the annihilation of the Royal Knights.

Truly a role that can’t help but attract everyone’s attention.

Excellent, truly excellent.

That’s why it sent up the actors it had prepared with its utmost effort.

They were once called Royal Knights, but now they had lost their pride and souls.

They were nothing more than puppets.

[You bastard…!! How dare you do this to my comrades…?!]

[Do you have no blood or tears?!]

[Unforgivable. I will definitely kill you!!]

The experiment was already over.

The reaction of those who were once comrades could be said to be quite excellent.

I wonder what kind of reaction you will show.

I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep for days.

“For such an excellent commander, we have prepared a special guest! You must be familiar with them, right?”

One was a rat beastman boy who was at the top of the 12 tribes.

The other was a young dwarf knight who was quite famous in the Dwarf Republic.

Both were excellent knights, but now they were so broken that their original form was unrecognizable.

Numerous arms and legs were grotesquely entangled here and there.

Despite that, their heads were strangely too intact… The reason for that was so that their comrades could properly recognize them.

Of course, even if he was a newly selected commander, it wouldn’t be much different.

There was no way he wouldn’t know their faces.

That’s what it had thought.

However, in a fleeting moment, what it saw was the sight of the actors’ heads being sliced off and flying into the sky in an instant.

Unable to even react, the actors who lost their heads crumbled in vain.

“Oh my god! Goodness! Cutting them down without hesitation! Do you have no blood or tears?!”

There was no hesitation at all.

He just recognized them as enemies right away, drew his sword, and swung it.

As if he were seeing them for the first time. But that was impossible.

Even if rotten, he was the commander of the Royal Knights.

Unless they suddenly selected a human rolling around in a refugee camp and made him the commander, he should have been acquainted with the former Royal Knights members.

Yet there was no hesitation in his actions.

He pointed the tip of his sword at it.

At that action, as cold as the middle of winter, it felt the emotion of tension for the first time.

Because no one had ever shown such a reaction before.

“Where is there mercy to bestow upon the enemy?”

It was a bit startled, but this was not a problem at all.

Because it had prepared one more special actor just in case.

A confrontation between the former commander and the current commander.

Wasn’t that a guaranteed box office hit?
