----------------------------------------------------------

Emiya picked up the headless knight's head and looked straight into his eyes.

The headless knight, who had endured countless battles, froze the moment he saw Emiya.

"I... can you please give me back my head?" he stammered.

"Of course," Emiya said, then smiled. "Do you really think I'd say that?"

The smile on the knight's face hadn't even fully formed before it stiffened.

In the next instant, Emiya created a large fish tank filled with water.

"Nooo!!"

Amid the headless knight's scream, Emiya threw the head straight into the tank.

Water was the headless knight's weakness.

Once his body touched water, his strength would rapidly decline.

Now, with his entire head submerged, his body-already smashed into pieces by Aqua's magic-began to twitch violently.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, it collapsed completely.

Inside the tank, the headless knight glared at Emiya with a vicious, bone-chilling killing intent.

His mouth opened as if he wanted to say something.

But submerged in water, no sound could be heard.

Even so, Emiya knew exactly what he was doing.

Cursing him.

Unfortunately, in his current weakened state, the knight couldn't use magic at all.

"Aqua," Emiya said calmly. "It's your turn. Finish him."

Aqua nodded and raised both hands.

"Ascend to the heavens now, you undead! Sacred Turn Undead!"

Perhaps because of the water, the headless knight was already extremely weak.

This time, Aqua's spell worked perfectly.

White light enveloped the knight's body.

It blurred, faded, and slowly disappeared.

The head followed shortly after.

In the end, nothing remained.

Not even a trace-only the memory of the pure malevolence that had once existed.

The great headless knight, one of the eight executives of the Demon King's army, was completely defeated by Emiya and Aqua.

Although Emiya had only played a supporting role from start to finish, he still gained a considerable amount of experience.

He leveled up twice.

And gained several skill points.

The adventurers at the scene erupted into cheers.

When the headless knight first appeared at the town gate, they had all been convinced they were about to die.

Yet before the enemy could even properly act, Emiya and Aqua had already dealt a decisive blow.

Watching their flawless coordination, some adventurers even felt a strange sense of sympathy for the knight.

Now that the undead had been purified and the crisis resolved, cheers were inevitable.

Just then, Megumin squeezed through the crowd and pointed ahead.

"Um... what about that?"

Emiya followed her gaze.

In front of them stood a fully armored undead knight legion.

They were the headless knight's subordinates.

But these undead were different.

They had no intelligence.

The headless knight had controlled them entirely through his skill.

Now that he was gone, the legion was nothing more than a group of motionless puppets.

Because Emiya and Aqua had eliminated the headless knight before he could issue any orders, the undead knights stood frozen in place.

They couldn't move at all.

Emiya thought for a moment.

"You haven't used Explosion Magic today, right?"

Megumin's eyes lit up.

"Are you saying...?"

"Go ahead," Emiya said, waving his hand.

Megumin immediately raised the high-quality staff she had just purchased and began chanting.

The air trembled.

Magic power surged.

A terrifying force slowly gathered with every word of her incantation.

Meanwhile, the undead knights, lacking a commander, remained motionless.

Not a single one moved.

"What a perfect situation!" Megumin shouted. "I am Megumin! The foremost arch-wizard of the Crimson Demon Clan, wielder of Explosion Magic!"

"Dogs of the Demon King's army-witness my power!"

"Explosion!"

A white light shot from the tip of her staff and fell into the center of the undead legion.

The next moment-

A massive explosion erupted.

A shockwave like a collapsing mountain surged outward with overwhelming force.

For a moment, countless adventurers were left completely speechless.

A gigantic crater appeared in front of the town gate.

Every undead knight was blown away.

Not a single one remained.

The undead knight legion, which could have been considered formidable, was annihilated in one strike.

Even Emiya was impressed.

Explosion Magic was truly terrifying.

Although Megumin could only use it once per day, its destructive power was undeniable.

It was on the level of a missile.

"Hmph... hmph... hmph... It seems everyone is speechless after witnessing the power of my Explosion Magic..."

"Ahhhh... that felt so good... even with the chant..."

When Emiya heard her voice, he said calmly, "Kazuma. Carry Megumin."

Kazuma nodded and picked up Megumin, who had exhausted all her magic and was lying on the ground, completely unable to move.

Then-

The scene erupted into thunderous cheers once again.

...

The day after the headless knight's defeat, Emiya and his party suddenly received a notice from the Adventurers' Guild.

They were told to hurry to the Guild immediately.

Confused, they still followed the instructions and rode their scooters over.

Along the way, Aqua kept muttering nervously.

"What's going on? Could another Demon King's army executive be coming for revenge?"

"That's impossible," Kazuma said quickly. "This is a beginner town. A beginner town!"

But the way he kept repeating it made his guilt obvious.

In truth, he was scared too.

Megumin and Darkness also looked uneasy.

Emiya, who knew the plot, reassured them.

"Relax. It won't be another executive."

"If I'm not mistaken, they're calling us to collect the reward for defeating one."

Hearing that, everyone relaxed.

Aqua's eyes even sparkled a little.

"The reward for defeating a Demon King's army executive must be huge."

"Huge doesn't even begin to cover it," Emiya replied.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Aqua said eagerly. "Hurry up!"

She sped up her scooter.

When the group arrived at the Adventurers' Guild and stepped inside, they immediately saw the receptionist, Luna, along with a group of adventurers.

They spoke in unison.

"Welcome to the Axel Adventurers' Guild-heroes who defeated the headless knight!"
