�All members of Genocide have lost someone important to vampires.�Fowler�s wife, Grain�s daughter���

Xenia turned to Lian.

�What have you lost?�Are you fighting to protect your loved ones?�If that�s the case, you�re looking at this floor funny.�You are also a peculiar character.�If I fall into their hands, I will suffer the same fate.�You won�t be able to stand it.�

It wasn�t Rian that Xenia didn�t trust, it was all selfish humans.

�No matter how hard it is, if you can console yourself, you are not ready to fight.�To me, any aphorism, any verse in the world is just disgusting.�

It was the world of vampire hunters.

�I wanted to become stronger.�

Ryan was the first to speak.

�There is someone I really want to protect.�But he is much stronger than me.�

Is Sirone still fighting the world?

�I think about how to become stronger.�But when that question comes to mind, I wonder what is stronger this time.�There are many answers, but none of them really hit me.�

Xenia listened silently.

�So I decided to just walk.�Every step I took seemed to bring me closer, so I just walked.�

That�s how I cut 10,000 demons.

�From the end of the land in the north, continue toward the house����Then I arrived here.�Am I stronger now?�Can you protect someone important to you?�

It was a simple and ignorant method that was hard to believe for someone who was nominated for the Grand Swordsman.

�I don�t know yet.�But even now I am walking straight.�Maybe we�ll find out when we get home.�

�What if you still don�t know what strength is?�

�Walk again.��It was too easy to say what a dark feeling it was.

�Strength means, you are a swordsman too, but what kind of swordsmanship did you practice, how much did you improve your strength, even reading books or referring to quotes from famous swordsmen���

It was the only fact I realized while crossing the desert.

�It won�t be that complicated.�It�s because you don�t understand that it�s complicated.�If I could walk the whole world, if I could break through everything in front of me���

Lian pulled out a large straight sword.

�It means I can go anywhere.�

Zenia, who flew backwards as if buoyant, drooped the Dark Blade diagonally.

�At that point, there is only one place I need to go.�

Sirone.

�Return to the lord.�

As Lian�s body was denied, he rushed at Xenia with a motion that ignored inertia.
