Before Disaster

A day had passed since the meeting in the royal castle, and the status of Volgrath was beginning to be placed in key locations in the royal capital and the rest of the Vermilion Kingdom.

When they first came across the statues, the adults were confused, and the children were outright frightened, hiding behind their parents.

"W-what...what is the meaning of this?"

"That thing looks so alive."

"Ewww, it's close to our house!"

Seeing the reaction of the citizens, an armored knight stepped forward. The citizens could almost feel his piercing gaze through the visor of his helmet.

The stern gaze instinctively made them step back.

"This is a new decree by the king himself. From this day onwards, all citizens must offer prayers and worship to the great god that protects from the shadows...Volgrath!"

"Volgrath?"

"A new god?"

"This is the first time I'm hearing this name."
