The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

“A curse, a curse, you say…”

Darkness, her cheeks flushed, wriggled her body, fantasizing, “If I were cursed too, wouldn’t I have to obey the Headless Knight’s demands, and be subjected to this and that? What would I do then, Kazuma!”

“Yes, I am Kazuma.”

“Let me go too, I want to be cursed!”

“Hey, don’t cause trouble!”

He grabbed her by the collar, preventing her from acting recklessly. Even Satou Kazuma, a pervert himself, found Darkness to be perverted.

On the battlefield.

“You… that’s right, no matter what, you’re also a Crimson Demon.”

The Headless Knight wore an expression of understanding.

A high-ranking member of the Demon King’s army, deeply affected by the Crimson Demons, had previously gloated over the harassment of his comrades in the Demon King’s castle, never imagining that it would be his turn so soon.

“So, you want to fight me?”

The Headless Knight stared intently at Zun Zun, a dangerous aura emanating from him.

“If I were to get serious, I have the power to kill all the adventurers in this town, and then slaughter all the residents. Don’t think I’ll keep letting you off the hook. My immortal body knows no fatigue. You rookie adventurers can’t even scratch me!”

Zun Zun couldn’t help but retort, “No, no, before being cursed, there was still room for negotiation. Now that I’m cursed, there’s no other option but to fight, right?”

He realized that the Headless Knight was quite fond of moral blackmail.

Could he really think that the townspeople would let him have his way, and then take the opportunity to weaken the adventurers’ forces? That’s too far-fetched.

“It’s not necessarily like that.”

The Headless Knight extended his empty left hand towards Zun Zun, saying, “Then how about this… I’ve taken a liking to you. Come with me, and if you do, I’ll spare the town’s residents…”

“Holy Exorcism!”

“Eeeeek——!”

Before he could finish speaking, a beam of white light struck him, causing him to scream.

“I’m saying! I’m getting impatient listening to you chatter on and on! You’re just an undead, are you going to fight or not!”

“Hey! Aqua, why did you attack without permission!”

“Huh? What are you saying, Kazuma! With an undead showing off in front of me, how can I, a goddess, sit idly by! No undead is allowed to show off in front of me!”

Aqua and Satou Kazuma were bickering loudly.

Meanwhile, the Headless Knight, high above on his headless black horse, let out a miserable scream after being struck by Aqua’s magic. Black smoke billowed from his body, and he trembled all over, barely able to stand, yet still stubbornly holding on.

“Eh, how, how strange! Kazuma!”

“Yes, I am Kazuma.”

“My skills are useless against him! What do I do!?”

Aqua shouted in a panic.

No, no, no.

He’s already lost his horse; it’s already very effective.

“To, to resort to a sneak attack… you should listen to the end when someone is explaining!”

The Headless Knight staggered, forcing himself to say, “I am Beldia, one of the Demon King’s executives. With this armor specially blessed by the Demon King, plus my power, the skills of ordinary priests are useless against me! …That’s how it should be! I ask you, what is your current level? Are you really a newbie?”

As he spoke, he tilted the head he was holding in his hand to the side, as if performing a head tilt.

Aqua took several steps back in fear.

“Never mind.”

He said as if he were tired, “I was forced to come here in the first place, and I’m starting to get annoyed. I might as well just level this town… Come forth, my brothers!”

Then.

The Headless Knight summoned a group of undead knights.

These were monsters one rank higher than zombies. Although their armor was tattered, they were equipped with protective gear, making them a threat to novice adventurers.

However—

“Wah, wah, ah, ah—! Why are you only coming after me? I’m clearly a goddess, a deity! Shouldn’t I be doing good deeds normally!”

For some reason, the undead knights didn’t attack the town’s residents, but instead chased after Aqua everywhere.

“What, what are you doing! Don’t just chase after that priest; use the blood of other adventurers and residents to wash this town in blood…!”

Seeing this, the Headless Knight shouted anxiously.

Zun Zun knew that this was because the undead, seeking salvation, were instinctively gathering around Aqua, who was a real goddess. He was also grateful to have a genuine goddess by his side; otherwise, he might be the one being chased.

However…

“Next up is my battle.”

“No, Zun Zun, it’s our battle.”

Hui Hui and You You also walked over.

Currently in Axel, Maken Konyo couldn’t fight because his demon sword had been stolen, and the rest were all misfits. Only Zun Zun and the two of them were relatively strong.

“Wah ah ah! Zun Zun, Zun Zun! Please, help me, ah ah ah!”

“Zun Zun, please! I’ll treat you to dinner tonight! My purification magic isn’t working, ah ah ah!”

Satou Kazuma and Aqua shouted madly.

You You couldn’t bear to watch the two of them running away in such a sorry state and said, “Zun Zun, shouldn’t we help them…”

“Don’t mind them.”

“But…”

“Don’t mind them.”

Zun Zun and the others were about to fight a high-ranking member of the Demon King’s army; how could they waste their magic power on such trivial matters? How could they not distinguish between what was important and what wasn’t? …It was definitely not revenge for the drowning incident earlier, definitely not!

“A battle between strong opponents…”

Seeing this, the Headless Knight held his head in one hand and his sword in the other, cheerfully shrugging his shoulders, and said, “Alright, I didn’t want to attack the weak anyway. I’ll just kill you guys and make the people of this town tremble.”

“Superior Water Creation!”

Zun Zun started instantly, and a stream of water shot out from his palm directly towards the Headless Knight’s body, soaking him completely, catching him off guard.

“Wh…!”

Darkness, who was far away, blushed and muttered, “To use that move on a high-ranking member of the Demon King’s army, Zun Zun is sometimes unexpectedly excessive… Amazing, I want to do that too later!”

“Zu, Zun Zun?”

“How excessive…”

Perhaps to outsiders, this was provocation and humiliation. Even Hui Hui and You You found it a bit unacceptable.

But Zun Zun knew that, just like in a certain little spirit battle game, the Headless Knight, as an undead, had a natural weakness to water!

The Headless Knight cursed, “Yo, you, you, you… you, you, you, didn’t we agree to let people finish speaking!?”

“I waited for you to finish speaking. It’s just that I attacked as soon as you finished.”

“…Huh?”

Zun Zun said this as a matter of course. The Headless Knight was confused by this sophistry, but he quickly burst into curses again.

“Then what do you mean by this? Are you trying to humiliate me?”

“Hmph, hmph, hmph… Mr. Headless Knight, don’t think you can fool me. Although you have armor that can resist purification, you’re afraid of water, aren’t you? Because that’s the characteristic of the undead.”

“Wh, what are you saying? I don’t understand at all.”

The Headless Knight shrank his hand back.

Looking guilty.

The others also suddenly understood, realizing that Zun Zun wasn't playing around or trying to humiliate them, but was genuinely coming up with countermeasures.

“Yoyo!”

“I understand!”

Without Zun Zun saying anything, Yoyo cleverly knew to use advanced water magic.

Although she didn't inherit the Red Demon clan's strengths in everyday life, she perfectly inherited their combat intuition… Wait, isn't she the truly perfect Red Demon?

“Advanced Water Creation! Advanced Water Creation!”

Yoyo continuously used water magic, while Zun Zun relentlessly fought the Headless Knight.

Soon, Zun Zun was soaked from head to toe, playing a wet temptation game like a certain 4396 factory director. The Headless Knight was also similar, drenched inside and out.

An ordinary Red Demon Archmage might not be able to fight the Headless Knight, but Zun Zun is no ordinary mage.

The Headless Knight angrily cursed, “Despicable, despicable villain! A knight should fight honorably!”

“What are you talking about!”

Zun Zun used a 'Seven-Day Locked Embrace of Unbreakable Love,' tightly hugging the Headless Knight from behind, shouting, “Disrupting the ecological environment, threatening residents, looking for things, throwing your head at people's feet to peek under skirts, and cursing others… What qualifications do you have to call yourself a knight!?”

“Non… Nonsense! I was originally a knight, but now I'm a Headless Knight! Mind your own business!”

“Too bad, I'm not a Headless Knight, but an Archmage. I don't understand what you're saying!”

“Let go! Let go! Let go, ahhhh!”

Driven mad, the Headless Knight wanted to attack Zun Zun, who was clinging to his back, but his weapon was a greatsword, and he was wearing armor that restricted his movements, making it impossible to reach him.

Moreover…

“Everyone, mages, quickly help Zun Zun!”

“We're doing it!”

“Water Creation! Water Creation! Water Creation!”

The mages of Axel, seeing this, stopped slacking off and watching the show, continuously using water magic, turning a serious and dangerous battle into a water splashing festival.

Darkness also wanted to join in, but the other adventurers held her down, preventing her from causing trouble.

“Un… Unforgivable!”

The Headless Knight angrily cursed.

Normally, he could easily dodge, but now his movements were restricted, and his only advantage—the ability to have a full view from his head—was sealed by Zun Zun's 'Seven-Day Locked Embrace of Unbreakable Love.'

Forget throwing his head into the sky, it would be good if it wasn't stolen. Even if he saw something, he couldn't do anything about it, and instead, he would lose his head and fall into trouble.

“But it's useless!”

The Headless Knight shouted as if threatening them, “You're just weakening me! This is just a beginner town, no one can kill me!”

“Oh really? Mr. Headless Knight, haven't you forgotten something?”

“What…!?”

The whisper in his ear was like the voice of a demon. The Headless Knight suddenly remembered why he came here.

That's right, this town had a lunatic idiot who constantly went to his castle to cast Explosion magic every day—

As if sensing something, the head in the Headless Knight's hand turned around, looking towards a Red Demon Archmage on a small hill who was already ready, with a clear look of panic in its eyes.

“I'll leave the rest to you, Megumin!”

“I've been ready for a long time!”

Megumin swung her staff.

“—Explosion!”

The moment Zun Zun dodged, with a deafening boom, Explosion magic instantly descended from the sky. The exaggerated firepower blew Zun Zun away and, with an indomitable and violent aura, obliterated everything.

A huge crater appeared on the outskirts of Axel's plains, and everyone was blown to the ground.

If Megumin had acted so recklessly in the past, she would have been scolded, but today, she only received praise.

“We won! We won!”

“We succeeded!”

“I'll never call you a brain-damaged Red Demon girl again!”

The adventurers celebrated with laughter and cheers.

On the other side…

“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—”

The soot-covered Aqua crawled out of the dirt. Looking at the huge crater created by the Explosion magic, she subconsciously said, “Such a powerful Explosion magic, that Headless Knight must be dead. Too bad I didn't have a chance to show off…”

“Wait…! Idiot! You, you, don't jinx it!” The equally soot-covered Kazuma Sato couldn't help but curse.

Sure enough—

As the smoke dissipated, the Headless Knight staggered to his feet from within the crater.

He laughed loudly, “Close! It was almost enough to kill me! But it's a pity, your level isn't high, is it? Fortunately, the power of the Explosion magic wasn't high either! Now you should be out of mana! Hahaha, no problem! What was that saying again…”

He held up the head in his hand, with a fierce expression, and said to the residents of the town, “—Even if I'm weakened by water and bombarded by Explosion magic, I can still kill everyone in this town!”

“How… How can this be… Hey, that's terrain-altering Explosion magic that once defeated a high-ranking demon!”

“Damn it, we still failed! Is this a member of the Demon King's army?”

“Quick, go to West Street and invite the Demon Sword Hero!!!”

Everyone began to panic. No one expected the Headless Knight to be so tough, that even weakening and bombardment couldn't eliminate him.

“Hahahaha—Ah!? (Demon Sword Sound)”

Just as the Headless Knight was laughing to the sky, proclaiming his victory, and enjoying everyone's fear, someone secretly appeared behind him and once again used the technique of the 'Seven-Day Locked Embrace of Unbreakable Love' to tightly hug him.

“Hey, hey! Are you done yet! You should be out of mana, right? You definitely have no more ways to hurt me, right! Give up!”

He struggled constantly.

The soot-covered Zun Zun also grinned, “No, Mr. Headless Knight, this is the end. If you can survive this, I'll surrender with both hands.”

“What————”

“—I'm gonna EXPLODE!”

The next moment, an explosion even stronger than Explosion magic appeared before everyone. The powerful shockwave blew everyone away, further exacerbating the already devastated plains.

When everything was over—

Aqua still wanted to jinx it, but Kazuma Sato tightly covered her mouth.

After the dust settled in the center of the battlefield, a figure staggered to his feet. He raised his right hand high, proclaiming his victory.

“Oh, oh, oh————” x N

Loud shouts and cheers echoed across the plains.

Is the Headless Knight dead?

He is dead!
