The central square of the small city where the Ice Demon King was being held captive.
The barrier created by the Pearl of Extreme Hell was not immediately destroyed by the attack of the Ice Demon King - or the Ice Demon God, as Knight Commander Dylan named it.
However, as it turned out, King Andrew's prophecy came true.
The cage of energy created by the Jewel of the Extreme Prison collapsed with a crash in less time than it took for morning to turn into afternoon.
In total, the ice demon god had fired several thousand fist shots without a care in the world.
With a sound like shattering glass, he slowly stepped out of the cage.
No.
There is no cage anymore.
The Demon God of Ice, now free, strolls down the central avenue of the city with a carefree, self-satisfied look.
A blizzard of extreme cold blows around the ice demon, freezing the surrounding buildings and frosting their walls one after another.
But that's all.
No humans were caught in it.
Why not?
Humans are just as bad.
When the Ice Demon broke free from its cage, there was not a single human being around.
The central square, where the cage was located, was completely deserted with no sign of life around it.
So, did the humans all run away in fear of the Ice Demon?
No, that's not it...
It was the Ice Demon's skin sensation that made me feel that way.
The smell was different, the temperature was different, the air was different...
The humans may not show themselves, but they're lurking somewhere in this city.
They're the ones who want to overthrow the Ice Demon.
They even managed to lock this nightmarish being in a cage once.
They deserve praise.
Even an army of 10,000 mooks couldn't stop this demon god.
Although they used the power of the ancient treasure, they accomplished it with less than a hundred men.
They are the brave ones.
It is only those people who are vigilantly targeting the head of the Ice Demon in this city right now.
The Ice Demon will continue down Central Avenue.
No one has appeared yet.
Still, the Ice Demon moves forward with ease.
You can surprise me, deceive me, do whatever you want.
Crush them all. Twist them. Trample them.
That was the demon god of ice's attitude.
And then...
Two humans appeared out of the ice demon's line of sight.
From the shadows of the buildings on either side of him, they came out into the central street.
The distance was still far.
They were both astride magnificent war horses.
They also wore plate armor and held knightshields and swords in their hands.
