Ruijerd's self-disclosure of his identity caught everyone's attention. Although he didn't reveal obvious proof of being a Superd, the trident in his hand almost showed his identity.
Even the demons on the Demon Continent hate the Superd and want to get rid of them as soon as possible. They are the most hated existence.
Almost all the members of the demon royal guard took out their weapons and surrounded Ruijerd as quickly as possible.
Muya was even more cautiously on guard with a much more terrifying attitude than before. Although the face under the black helmet was not clear, anyone could feel a trace of seriousness and tension from it.
"Ugh... ah..."
The adventurers of the Adventurers Guild, and even the members of the Adventurers Guild, were trembling all over. Despair and fear filled them. This fear was even more exaggerated than when Shirou instantly killed a group of demons just now. It was like a sense of terror and despair engraved in their souls.
Compared to Shirou, who killed people, Ruijerd actually didn't do anything. But just when he revealed the symbol of the Superd, everyone in the Adventurers Guild was filled with hostility and fear towards him. It was an almost uncontrollable instinctive impulse.
"Deadend... I didn't expect you to be here."
After a brief confirmation, Muya, the captain of the demon royal guard, almost locked onto Ruijerd's identity.
He raised his hand and summoned a water column, spraying it toward Ruijerd.
Although the latter blocked the attack with the spear in his hand, the mud-stained black hair quickly reverted to its original state.
That was the green hair that only the Superd have.
Sylphy was once bullied in Buena Village because of this green hair.
"That's right, I am Deadend, a Superd named Ruijerd Superdia."
Ruijerd seemed to have given up after his identity was exposed. He even took off the bandage on his forehead and revealed the red gem. "Now that my identity is exposed, I have no choice but to kill everyone. The two children behind me were threatened by me to do these things. It has nothing to do with them. It's all me, this demon, who forced them."
Ruijerd explained everything with clumsy acting, taking all the responsibility on himself.
His tone was false, but the murderous aura was so real that it couldn't be ignored, and an instinctive sense of terror arose.
"Aaaaaah!"
Someone screamed first.
Everyone in the Adventurers Guild, whether adventurers, guild members, or passing girls and youths, threw down what they were holding and ran away screaming.
Only the black armored knights remained in place, but each knight's expression was unspeakably terrifying and solemn, and they were even prepared to face death.
In that moment, Shirou clearly realized just how exaggerated the existence of the Superd was in this world.
The fact that they were feared was not something that could be easily changed. The prejudice in people's hearts was like one mountain after another, and it would never be possible to move them all.
Even though he was the one who had killed countless people and committed countless crimes within the Adventurers Guild, Ruijerd had simply revealed his identity as a Superd and directly became an existence that was far more evil and frightening than him.
The change was undoubtedly too sudden.
Of course, Shirou didn't think that Ruijerd had no problems.
After all, the blood debt that the Superd had committed in the past was indeed a fact. No matter how things were explained, the person who made the mistake would still have to bear all the responsibility in the end.
However, that has nothing to do with the current situation.
Because Shirou didn't want Ruijerd to take responsibility for all his crimes.
However, Shirou's thoughts couldn't change anything.
After confirming that Ruijerd was a Superd, Muya, the captain of the demon royal guard, directly ordered his subordinates to engage in a fierce battle with him.
As the captain of the royal guard, Muya's strength was evident. Just now, he could easily suppress Shirou, who had used all his trump cards. Now, he didn't even care about his reputation and directly led his subordinates to gang up on Ruijerd.
Even if Ruijerd's strength was indeed very strong, he couldn't withstand such a large number of people ganging up on him.
In the end, he was captured by Muya using special sealing magic.
"Since all the mistakes were made by this Superd, the rest of the matter will not be pursued."
Muya glanced at Shirou, with a peaceful attitude in his eyes. When Muya fought with Shirou just now, he greatly approved of this talented young man.
After all, Muya, as a magician, was still very happy that someone could create a magic that made his eyes light up.
It was only because of a conflict of interest that he had to fight with Shirou before.
Now that the culprit, the Superd, had been brought to justice, and the issue of their positions had been resolved, Muya naturally no longer had any dissatisfaction with Shirou.
"This Superd will be personally judged by the Demon King, so you two don't have to worry, you can rest assured."
"..."
Shirou didn't respond to Muya's words, because he knew that even if he explained at this time, it wouldn't solve the problem, and it would only waste Ruijerd's painstaking efforts in sacrificing himself.
Instead of acting impulsively now, it would be better to accept Ruijerd's kindness and think of other ways to rescue Ruijerd from the Demon King.
However, although Shirou had the right considerations, Eris obviously couldn't easily accept reality.
She eagerly wanted to save Ruijerd, but because she couldn't speak the demon language, she couldn't communicate at all, and she couldn't resist the oppression of the black armored knights. In the end, she helplessly gave up, watching Ruijerd being taken away by the black armored knights.
"Damn it, what are those guys doing, why did they arrest Ruijerd?!"
Because of the language barrier, Eris was completely confused.
Shirou briefly explained the situation and said silently, "The shadow of the Superd in this world is too deep. They even abandoned logic after knowing that Ruijerd was a Superd. As you can imagine, it's impossible for them to let Ruijerd go with normal methods."
"What? Ruijerd obviously didn't do anything bad."
"..."
Shirou waved his hand in response to Eris's words.
In this world, good and evil can't be used to distinguish everything.
So-called justice is by no means a concept of black and white opposition. Only by confirming the facts according to the current situation and making a choice from the heart is it true justice.
Of course, even if we don't mention the matter of justice now, Shirou can't tolerate Ruijerd sacrificing himself for them.
He had to quickly find a way to rescue Ruijerd.
While Shirou was thinking, the people in the Adventurers Guild gathered again.
Because Shirou had already made a fierce name for himself, none of the demon adventurers dared to provoke him and walked around him.
However, Shirou didn't intend to ignore these people. Instead, he took the initiative to walk over and came to the horse-headed man named Nokubara.
"I'm... I'm sorry... I... I didn't expect you to be so strong, s-spare me! Please!"
Nokubara had completely lost his previous arrogance and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Shirou didn't have too much aversion to him. After all, Nokubara had been trying to persuade him to avoid risks before and wasn't a truly evil person.
Therefore, he didn't react much and just asked silently, "Where are the black armored knights located?"
"This..."
Nokubara didn't expect Shirou to ask such a question. The clever Nokubara naturally guessed that Shirou might want to save Ruijerd.
He couldn't help but try to persuade him again with earnest words, "Those guys are subordinates of the Undead Demon King Atofe. That Superd is 100% captured and taken to the Demon King's Castle, the old Kishirika Castle. The guards of that castle are not a joke. Outsiders who go there will never come back."
"Stop talking nonsense, Ruijerd is in the old Kishirika Castle, right?"
After confirming the fact, Shirou immediately took action.
He told Eris to return to the inn and try not to go out.
He quickly walked out of the inn and took out the Servant summoning card.
"Dream Summon, start!"
As the power of Servant Emiya was once again attached to Shirou, his appearance once again changed significantly. From the original young boy's body, he became a tall adult male, with bronze skin and a white cloak, a crimson headband and holy cloth wrapped around his entire arm.
This was undoubtedly the figure of Servant Emiya.
Yes, Shirou had already made up his mind when he saw Ruijerd being captured before that he would save him no matter what.
To this end, he knew that the normal state Shirou would not possibly be able to enter in combat with a demon king, not to mention breaking into the castle to save people.
The only way was to use his Servant form to fight against the Undead Demon King.
Of course, even with his Servant form, there might still be risks in defeating an Undead Demon King
Shirou carried the Sword of Promised Victory and Avalon on his back,. After confirming that everything was correct, he officially set off for the Undead Demon King's castle.
The castle was very bright at night. The dark city was not dim, but rather glowed with light because of the large number of magic stones.
Shirou came here in the form of Servant Emiya, undoubtedly wanting to sneak in and find Ruijerd's whereabouts.
To his surprise, finding Ruijerd wasn't difficult, because he was simply tied to the city gate of the old Kishirika Castle, and there were almost no guards around.
Shirou hesitated at this obviously trap-like environment, but the hesitation only lasted for a moment. He knew he had no choice.
"Clap!"
The moment Shirou appeared in the square, a large number of black armored knights suddenly poured out of the castle.
They had obviously been watching the scene from the beginning.
"Hahaha, as expected, there are companions. Now we can wipe out the Superd!"
A loud voice sounded, and a lofty female figure walked out of the Demon King's Castle with pride. Her arrogant posture undoubtedly proved her identity -
The Undead Demon King, Atofe!
