I turned around my bed amidst the sensation akin to trying to emerge from the bottom of a lake.
That was the memory of the worst piece of sh*it as usual. But, amidst the nauseated feeling of a huge infodump shoved into
my brain, I tried to confirm my current situation.
（I attend the completion ceremony of the new city…）
As my vague memories cleared up, I felt as if color drained from my face, I raised my body immediately upon recalling Shar's
expression as she died. But the her before me was looking at my face with her usual innocent smile,
「SHAR!」
I felt a sense of relief and hugged her immediately. I mean, that's only natural right? Though it was just in my dream, I ended
up seeing her life end in a violent and miserable way.
「W-What's the matter, Gil?」
I ignored Shar's flustered voice and kept hugging her.
And once I regained my composure, both Chigi and Tama demanded an explanation from me with a dead serious look on
their faces.
「I see, prophetic dream like before huh…」
Chigi muttered with a gloomy look on his face as he scratched the back of his head.
「The fact that I got caught, and beheaded by the demon king army… sound really unpleasant.」
「Same here. Gil, have you see a way to defeat the demon king army?」
「Nope, it might be impossible even if I go all out. Demon race aside, I can't see them as normal creature anymore.」
2/6
「Even after you imitating the strongest existence?」
「Yeah, I'm completely outmatched. As if that isn't bad enough, Aldebaran is backed by an even more stronger being.」
No matter how I think about it, I lost to Aldebaran even after imitating the strongest existence. Moreover, Aldebaran showed
complete submission toward that fish-headed monster called Forneus. Those three were definitely much more powerful
than Aldebaran.
This wasn't a prediction, I was somehow convinced. We were completely powerless against them.
「Seriously… So, those guys are more powerful than that strongest existence…」
Due to the flow of the story, Bhu ended up arriving at the wrong conclusion.
「No, at the last moment of my dream, the being that I imitated killed Aldebaran with a light kick, and literally massacred the
three who backed Aldebaran too.」
Forneus was trembling nonstop when he saw the head of three faces ogre slain by the black haired youth. From the fact that
Forneus calling that ogre with 『Sama』 honorific, I assumed that three faces ogre was even more powerful than Forneus.
Basically, Aldebaran and co were nothing more than lackeys of lackeys. Either way, they were an absolute existence that we
couldn't defeat no matter what.
But, the expression of the three faces ogre at the end of his life was filled with despair, and fear. If what that black haired
youth had said was correct, that three faced ogre really did experience hell before he perished. That was a fact, there was no
need for him to spit such a lie.
「In one… Kick.」
Both Chigi and Tama were speechless.
「If that's the case, why does the strongest-sama that you imitate lost to Aldebaran?」
Bhu frowned as he asked that question. Surely, Bhu didn't seem to believe in my prophetic dream. Maybe he thought that
both Chigi and Tama had only matched my story.
「Maybe that's the limit of my imitation ability.」
I felt something was amiss ever since I imitated the strongest existence. The thing that I could use when imitating the
strongest existence was only the magic and martial arts which I had already mastered. His magic and skill was something
that I couldn't imitate.
In the first place, my ability was a complete imitation of another person. When I imitate the others, I can naturally reproduce
their skills and abilities too.
In short, even my ability couldn't completely imitate that black haired youth, the strongest existence, alas my physical state
still elevated to a whole new level even with incomplete imitation.
「Anyhow, the problem is what are we going to do now? If not even Gil can win, then it's literally impossible for the rest of us.
You also said that all of us are beheaded right?」
Chigi forced us back to the main topic since we have been derailed from the main topic.
「Yeah, our defeat has been decided the moment the demon king army invaded this city.」
3/6
Even I couldn't defeat Aldebaran, the lackey of lackey. If even Forneus participated too, our already small chance of victory
would literally be reduced to minus. Everyone would be killed, and this Ket Nya would be destroyed for sure.
「Is that mean we only have three days left?」
Tama asked with a bitter face,
「Yes, we are running out of time.」
We alone couldn't defeat the existence of Aldebaran. No, even my intuition had said that the existence of those who could
defeat them was in the extreme of the most extreme minorities.
Among those minorities, the first figure that appeared in my mind was Ruu-san. That person wouldn't fall behind against
Aldebaran. In fact, he might be on par with Forneus. And if we find Ruu-san, he might lend his power to us. Problem being the
monster who was even stronger than Forneus. Maybe not even Ruu-san could beat that three faced ogre.
I had no doubt that only one person in this world could defeat that guy. That black haired youth, the strongest existence. If my
prophetic dream was right, even the boss of Forneus was nothing more than a small fry for the black haired youth. He could
easily dispatch FOrneus and co to the afterlife.
Since his last expression was a mix between frustration and sadness, I could assume that the end in that dream wasn't
something that he wished to happen. So there was a possibility that he might be willing to lend his power if I could negotiate
with him.
Since that was the case, our maximum priority should be finding that black haired youth, alas it wouldn't be that simple.
Reason being I had no idea how to find him.
At least for now, we should try to stall the demon king army.
「Our utmost priority is to evacuate the citizens out of this city.」
Chigi groaned as he crossed his arms.
「Yeah. The problem is is where we have to escape though…」
Our defeat had been decided the moment they raided this city. And we had to evacuate the citizens from the city before
that happened.
In this regard, the nothern part was their territory, so running toward that direction was suicidal act. Since that was the case,
the only choice was going to the southern direction――
「To the south eh… But there is tall cliff blocked our path…」
「Yeah… It's the worst.」
Tama and Chigi's remark literally told me everything I needed to know.
Yeah, the south of north grand was blocked by a tall cliff. Even if we escape to the south, we would run into the wall sooner or
later. In short, we couldn't do anything but wait for the demon king army to arrive. We could only try to find that black haired
youth, the strongest existence and asking for his assistance to resolve this problem. That was the only way for Ket Nya to
survive.
「That's our only choice. Otherwise, all of us going to die for sure.」
4/6
If that prophetic dream was true, we only had one chance. Failure wasn't an option.
「Gil…」
Since Shar was clinging to my right arm, I patted her head to reassure her.
「Don't worry, it'll be okay.」
I kept telling her that as if to reassure her.
Yes. Failure meant I would lose her along with Chigi, Tama, Chato, Bhu, and everyone in Ket Nya. I've had enough of that
experience in my dream. I must succeed. I don't care what would happen to me but, I must succeed
