That demon was Garden, one of the four generals of the Demon King's army, feared even by S-rank adventurers. My parents and I watched, horrified, as he slaughtered the adventurers with merciless cruelty, one by one, without giving them a single chance to defend themselves. Each strike seemed more brutal than the last, and the expressions of terror and despair on the adventurers' faces were suffocating. It was more than terrifying. And as if it wasn't enough, Garden killed our lord shortly after, with the same coldness, as if he were nothing. With no other choice, we quickly hid in the carriage, our hearts pounding so loudly I feared he might hear.
