West of Tempest's Capital Rimuru 

The Knights Templar Garrison, The Prison Field Deployment Base Point

 "You're in the way. Move," World Traveler Shogo Taguchi bumped into one of the Templar Knights. "It's already been three days. Are the Merchants and Adventurers from Brumund planning on dying along with that town ?" He complained.

  "There's no need to be to be tense. We haven't heard anything from the other ranks. Based on the Geographic, if they want to return home, they'll have to pass through this Western Highway," Kyoya replied breezily in his usual unruffled manner.

  A nearby tent flapped open. "Meaning we'd kill them when they arrive, right ? Isn't it annoying work ?" Kirara complained. "That's why it's fine. My skill 'Berserker' increases my physical abilities the more people I kill.

  If everything goes well and I get a power up, I'll be able to fight off that Geezer's curse," Shogo planned outloud. "Plotting murder is tedious, too. Ah, I'm so bored," Kirara complained as she stretched.

  "Says the person capable of killing dozens with just her words," Kyoya commented with a laugh. "All I said was 'Die'. You often find that on the Internet. It's their problem," Kirara replied while adding it was not her fault.


The Knight that Shogo shoved listened to the disturbing conversation of the three.  "Captain about those people...." He followed after the older man. "Ah, you mean those World Travelers."

   "Their arrogant attitudes are conspicuous. Weren't there anyone else who's a bit more polite  ? It's troubling, seeing how we're all supposed to take collective action," He pointed out. "We'll I'm  sure it's because they have powerful skills.

  Did you know ? When Sir Shogo was summoned, He apparently  killed the 30 summoners on the spot." Exclaiming loudly, "You mean he suddenly went on a rampage for no reason ? Then it's too dangerous to utilize him as a soldier."

   "It wasn't without reason. From their perspective, their normal lives had been stolen from them. However, eversince that incident, it reaffirmed the reason to include Absolute Domination spells in the Summoning Ritual Magic.  Although they can become powerful  soldiers, in the end, they're not loyal.

      They say when World Travelers cross over, they receive skills based on their own wish. The stronger the will, the more likely you're to gain powerful skills."

"I see.... In other words, powerful World Travelers have personality issues," He summed it up with a sigh. "Hmm, if you think about it, The strength of Lady Hinata Sakaguchi might also be like that as well."

   "Wait, Captain. What are you going to do if she overhears us ?"

However the Captain waved it off. A small wound appeared on his temple without warning. Blood gushed as the older man fell. "Huh ?"

The three World Travelers perked up while the rest scrambled into formation. A man on his horse searched and found 4 monsters.


Prison Field North Base

Screams were uttered as the Templar Knights experienced the wrath of Tempest's Shadow Corps. "Impossible  ! Where did these guys come from !?" Before a treat could be called Souie's threads decapitated his head.


Prison Field South Base

The Dragonnewts soared above, breathing fire down on the Knights. "These aren't your average Lizardmen  !" A frantic knight worried. Laughing from above, Gabil corrected, "We are Dragonnewts."

  "D, dragonnewts !? Don't mess with me ! There's no way such high-tier monsters could gather in large groups !!!!"

    "It is not a jest. My name is Gabil. There is no need for you to remember. For it shall be your last memento to the Otherworld !"


Prison Field East Base

Benimaru torched his surroundings in a blaze of fire. "I.... I haven't heard anything about this... About such mon-"  A young knight uttered in terror as Benimaru sliced him without a glance. The fire tipped on his sword eagerly gobbled up it's newest victim.

  Slice ! His sword sliced through the crystal the Knight had been guarding with such ease like it was made of butter. 

   "My bad. I had to let off some steam."
