Revision as of 15:11, 30 January 2019

Sword Demon's Battle Ballad (剣鬼戦歌) is a short story featured in Gekkan Comic Alive.

Prologue

Grimm Fauzen found himself in a battlefield which was devastated by Valgren's dragon fire. He saw The Sword Demon in the distance fighting against Valgren. Grimm steeled himself, and proceeded to move towards where his companion was, so that he would not have to fight Valgren alone.

Act 1

After the battle with Kurgan and Wilhelm, and Stride cursing Veltol Astrea in Picouttate, Wilhelm was summoned to an urgent meeting by the leading political figures in the Kingdom of Lugnica to discuss the matters that had happened. Wilhelm delivered his report to the council which was chaired by Bordeaux Zellgef.

The council went into uproar hearing what had happened, outraged by this act of aggression. Immediately, they launched into a discussion of who Stride may have been, and what his purpose had been attacking the people at Wilhelm and Thearesia's wedding. The members of the council presumed he was a noble of the Vollachian Empire. The meeting concluded with the members deciding to send a letter of correspondence to the Empire, inquiring about whether they knew about these events.

Following this meeting, some time passed, until eventually Wilhelm was summoned to Bordeaux's office. The reasons for this summons was because Bordeaux had finally received a reply from the Empire. The letter from the Empire denied the events that had taken place in Picoutatte. Bordeaux was furious at this, and thought the Empire was trying to gauge their strengths by trying to attack the current Sword Saint. Both of them were quite worried about this, as they were both dubious about whether the covenant with the Divine Dragon was still in effect. They decided to proceed with caution with the matters at hand.

Wilhelm then left the Royal Castle, meeting up with Roswaal J Mathers in a tavern to discuss Stride. Wilhelm had entrusted to her to find information about who Stride was, and what he was doing. Roswaal unfortunately had no information to deliver, but purposely set up a trap to try and lure Stride into. The tavern was attacked by multiple Shinobi which were quickly dispatched by Wilhelm and Clind. They purposely let one of the Shinobis escape so that they could try and use it as a lead to finding Stride. Wilhelm left this matter to Roswaal, as he feared that there could be another attack back at the Astrea mansion.

Wilhelm arrived at the Astrea mansion, finding Stride awaiting him there. He was aware that the Kingdom had been trying to look for him, and decided to show himself on purpose to the people at the Astrea mansion.

Act 2

Facing Stride at the Astrea mansion, Wilhelm was suddenly attacked by a Shinobi, which Stride had brought along as his bodyguard. The two of them fought, with Wilhelm emerging victorious. Before Wilhelm delivered the finishing blow, Stride used one of his curse rings to control the Shinobi, and escaped from the mansion along with him.

Wilhelm rushed upstairs, after Stride mentioned to him just before leaving that he had a woman tied up in one of the rooms above, to find Carol Remendis in a coma.

Five days after the attack, Wilhelm visited Bordeaux's office, to give him his report on what had occurred. Bordeaux concluded that there was no more doubt that Stride's goals were related to Wilhelm and his wife, Thearesia. Carol still had not woken up from her coma.

Bordeaux and Wilhelm are interrupted by a knock on the door. Orphe who now worked for the Kingdom in providing intelligence walked in and delivered information to the two of them that Stride had been noticed visiting Shamrock Valley several times.

Some time after these events, Roswaal J Mathers visited Cragrel Dawnson, the demihuman that signed the armistice at the end of the Civil War. Roswaal successfully negotiated with Cragrel to obtain a piece of Sphinx's Od sealed in a pyroxene stone, which would allow them passage to the Witch's Refuge in Shamrock Valley.

Straight after that, Roswaal brought them the good news and Wilhelm assembled the Zellgef Corps which he now captained to march towards Shamrock Valley. Their aim was to try and find Stride, or clues that would help them lift Carol out of her coma. The Zellgef corps, along with Roswaal reached the valley and navigated through the deep fog using the pyroxene crystal Cragrel gave to Roswaal.

Finally, Wilhelm found himself in an area that was devoid of fog. Pivot Arnancy waited for him at the end of the clearing. It was during this time that Carol finally woke up from her coma, whilst Thearesia was at her bedside.
