One of the great heroes from three hundred years ago — Hamel Dynas.

Among the demonfolk of Helmuth, those high-ranking demons who had lived through that era called him Hamel the Exterminator. However, instead of the nickname Hamel the Exterminator, Edmond, who wasn’t a demonfolk, was more familiar with the nickname the Stupid Hamel.

‘As I’d expected,’ Edmond thought as he stood with his hands behind his back and looked down into the arena.

This wasn’t really the Stupid Hamel himself.

Hamel’s tomb had been discovered in the desert by Amelia Merwin. Excavating that site, she found a corpse that hadn’t rotted even after hundreds of years and made it into a Death Knight.

‘She’s still the same,’ Edmond judged.

Amelia Merwin had a particular stubborn tendency. Perhaps because she herself was just such an existence, Amelia was obsessed with aberrant existences.

The Inquisitor from the Maleficarum she was currently toying with was just her latest obsession. Outwardly, the Inquisitor possessed a human appearance, but her body was actually a chimera that had been cultivated using a vampire as its base. Amelia had also told him that the soul hadn’t even originally been born into that body but was instead a soul that had been inserted into it during the cultivation process.

Edmond had also heard about this Death Knight from a while back.

At first, she had even infused it with the soul of a beastfolk, which was more aggressive than a human’s and possessed stronger fighting instincts.

But the rejection from using a soul of a completely different race from the body had proven too strong, so from then on, she began using a lycanthrope’s soul.

Lycanthropes were a species that had mutated from humans, and thanks to that, she was able to get some decent results. Amelia herself wasn’t really satisfied with the ultimate outcome, but she had still grown attached to it over the years and called it her Pet.

Yet after all that, it had been ruined. Eugene Lionheart, who had suddenly barged into the tomb, destroyed Amelia’s cherished Death Knight. During the process, the soul was destroyed, but fortunately, Hamel’s corpse remained intact.

Amelia decided to change her methods. In the process of doing...
