Whether I like it or not, I can't help but feel that I have entered the domain of a Keystone Beast. The reason is quite simple. The smell of rusty iron is in the air, the ground is stained dark red, and what appear to be corpses are scattered everywhere. However. The clothing of the Imperial soldiers' corpses is inconsistent. The colors and shapes of what was once armor are all different. They look just like the adventurers I've seen so many times before.
"I don't think this is the first time you've seen a dead person, but are you okay?"
"Of course... but what are these traces of death...!?" Berseria quietly shivered. The corpse she had imagined was one that had retained its original human form.
However, the thing before her was an object that was likely once a human. That was how much it had lost its original form.
"It's a monster, a Keystone Beast." I replied briefly. "So this is it...!" Berseria muttered, as if convinced by my answer. "I had heard some details from Lord Eucharlouch, but seeing it for myself was different..." Berseria had been prepared for the scene to be extremely gruesome based on the information I had given her, but the reality seemed to be even worse. "Don't leave my side. That way you'll be absolutely safe." "Absolutely?" "Yeah. Absolutely." I nodded vigorously to her question.
"You're truly a hero. I can rely on you." Berseria smiled in response to my reply. "Let's hurry." We galloped further into the land. Bodies were scattered everywhere we went.
As I suspected, the corpses are not just those of the Empire's army
And there were more than just one or two. There were enough of them that I noticed. "Did you notice?" I asked Berseria. "Yeah. I was probably thinking the same thing as Lord Eucharlouch." The beautiful princess knight replied to me. "There are too many corpses that are not of the Empire's Army Is that what you mean?"
Berseria asked me to confirm. "That's right." I replied.
