To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

fter the war finally came to an end, I returned to the headquarters of the Royal Army of Arcadia with my new subordinates, Jade and the other soldiers.

「「「「 Schneizel!　Schneizel!　Schneizel!」」」」

　Everyone on the Arcadia side shouted the name of the hero who had defeated Isaac. The victory over Isaac, which had been a close defeat, must have made the soldiers feel a surge of emotion, and they were all very excited.

Even those who had been O'Brien's subordinates were now stifling their grief and expressing their joy.

　But it is still too early to rejoice in victory.

Argiano's plan is not finished. A man of that stature was behind the whole thing. If something goes wrong, a threat greater than Isaacs could be waiting in the wings.

If he is going to make a move, would it be at this very moment, when we are enjoying our victory?

　Where is he?　What will happen?　What should I do?

I turn all my senses - sight, sound, smell, and magic - to be alert to my surroundings, so as not to miss even the slightest anomaly, but my focus is interrupted by the battle cries of victory. Should I leave the main camp and calm down?

　--That was the moment when I thought about it.

A sensation so strong that the clamor of the surroundings had nothing to do with it suddenly hit my entire body.

　A heavy, cold, clinging, sticky feeling of harm covered the entire area.

"Ahh!"

　I found myself taking a step backward. I tried to get back on my feet as quickly as I could, but I couldn't move. I put all my energy into it, reaffirmed my resolve to save Crescencia, and was finally able to get back on my feet, which I had pulled back in an effort to escape.

"Ha, ha, ha."

　Instinctive fear is fighting against reason at the critical moment. Even with Isaac, I was prepared to fight, so the source of this fear was even more dangerous than that.

I knew it was coming, but it's still heartbreaking to actually face it, seriously.

"Hey, what the hell?"

I turned around at the sound of an anxious voice and saw Jade and the others were confused. Furthermore, looking around, the entire main camp, which should have been enveloped in the excitement of victory just a moment ago, is quiet with an unknown fear.

　If everyone is feeling it, then I'm not mistaken.

　Yes, it is. This is real. Argiano's set-up has finally been activated.

Fine, I'll go beyond it. I'm not going to lose no matter what comes my way.

　I refined a spear from the ground, clad it in lightning, Hyann's original magic, enhanced my body, and waited for the enemy in the strongest state I could be in now.

　How much time has passed since then, a minute, an hour, or even a second?

　In the midst of the time that I felt stretched out by the extreme tension, I just kept on waiting.

"GGHHHHHHH!

A scream came from somewhere, and at that moment, the thunder that cloaked my body sent it toward me at a speed that exceeded the human limit.

　There, I saw--

"Ha ha, seriously?"

　A black armor clad in a hideous jet-black aura was stabbing the Arcadia soldier with its sword.

"Oh, ......, oh!"

　The soldier whose heart was pierced was thrown away like a piece of trash. The armored man with the sword covered in blood had decided on me as his next target, and he was firing a strong killing blow at me.

"Ha ha."

　I recognized that figure. How could I forget it?

　A servant of the Evil God.

　A clear enemy of the human race.

I wondered what kind of enemy was waiting for me, but I had no idea that this was ready for me.

But is it common in the game for the Ulgor evil cult to use a part of the evil god's power to create their servants?

:Oh, I see, it's you guys."

　The fear I had just before was already gone.

　What's wrong with being afraid? What about because I want to escape?

That's enough reasons to fight.

"■■■■■!"

"Shut up. Shut up and die. Or I'll kill you."

I'll kill anyone who harms Cress.

　Arthur and Liliana were heading for the main street of the city.

There are so many people here.

"I heard that the number of jewels has increased in the war. '

"'What's a jewel?"

"They are things you want or need, the sisters said. The sisters said so."

"Hmmm... wow!

　Liliana was suddenly pulled by Arthur and stumbled forward. Liliana was about to get back on her feet and complain, but then she stopped talking when she saw a bunch of people fall like a pile-up next to her.

If Arthur hadn't been there, she would have certainly been involved. If she had been trapped underneath, she would have died.

"Thank you."

"There are a lot of people out there, so be careful, okay?"

"Uh-huh."

"Huh. But why did the sister also ask for help at a time like this?"

　Looking out over the street filled with countless people, Arthur sighed heavily.

　The sisters who raise their children in the orphanage. The actuality that the actual parents are intelligent, it's hard to believe that they can't anticipate this danger.

　And yet, to send two young children on an errand alone, as if they had a purpose...

'What is it?"

Arthur felt a strange chill and immediately braced himself.

　It was a sticky malice that seemed to lick his entire body. A murderous intent, as if a sword of hatred were being thrust into his entire body.

　He had no idea what was happening, but he knew one thing: it was incredibly bad.

　I must escape. I had to escape. If I don't run away.

"A......re?"

His legs were as if they were stitched together by the sheer terror. Even now, the strange presence was growing, and the people around him were becoming confused, but he couldn't waste even a second.

　But Arthur still couldn't move.

"Arthur?"

　Liliana finally noticed something was wrong, and she was anxious to see Arthur. It was the only thing that could be done in a situation where the adults were in chaos.

However, being asked by his childhood friend to help, Arthur was finally able to muster up the courage to do so.

"Liliana! Get out of there!"

"All right!"

　The two of them slipped past the adults and started to run.

But their escape was too late.

　The presence of the explosion. The last thing Arthur saw as he turned around was an explosion of jet-black flames engulfing the main street from the middle
