Rainana Royal Castle
Several years had passed since Absolute Ark's death. King Michael, who had defeated the villainous Absolute Ark and gained support from the populace and nobility, faced a serious problem.
"Why are foreign dark organizations operating in the Rainana Kingdom?! What are the Guards doing! At this rate, the country will fall apart!"
With the Ark House, which had been working for the country behind the scenes, destroyed, dark organizations from other countries were colluding with some nobles, eating away at the country. Powerful drugs and kidnappings were rampant among the people, and things were getting out of hand. Even if they tried to crack down, they had no information or connections to the dark organizations. The Ark House had been working to prevent this, but it had already been destroyed.
By Michael's own judgment.
"Damn it, isn't that what the Hero is for?! Hurry and have the Hero stop this chaos!"
Michael passed the buck to the Hero, who wasn't even present…
"Urgent message! To His Majesty!"
(Another urgent message? It feels like there have been a lot of them related to dark organizations lately. What will it be this time?)
"What is it? Did the dark organizations move?"
But the content of the message was tragic.
"A massacre has occurred in the Mirai House's territory, which is ruled by the Hero, and the Hero and his wives have been killed by a mysterious monster. That monster is heading towards the royal capital!"
What they were told was the tragic news of the heroes who had defeated the villainous Absolute Ark.
Time rewinds to before the heroes were killed. Lady Cruel had come to see Uru off.
"Are you really going? You have a child with Absolute-sama…"
In Lady Cruel's arms was a small beastman child. Lady Cruel worried about Uru, Absolute Ark's wife, but Uru had turned into a vengeful demon.
That cute face was gone, and the gaunt cheeks were concerning. She had completely matured, her bob cut replaced with long hair, her appearance making one feel the passage of time.
"I waited for my master to return… I believed that he would definitely return… But he didn't! Uru… cannot live in a world without her master!"
It was a heart-wrenching cry. Several years after Absolute Ark's death, Uru could not find any value in living in a world without him. Lady Cruel knew she couldn't stop her, but she still tried to dissuade her.
"Absolute-sama told us to live in the end. Even though some of us betrayed him and sold information, he was concerned about our safety until the very end! You have a duty to live for Absolute-sama's sake!"
Absolute Ark did not include his subordinate nobles in the battle against the Hero and the royal army, and instead went to his death alone, telling them only to live. He hated the idea of the damage being too great with traitors among them, but he also thought that if he lost, everything would be settled by the death of him, the hated one.
In the original story, it seemed that the subordinate nobles had abandoned Absolute Ark, but the truth was that Absolute Ark had wanted it that way.
Uru stared at Lady Cruel, who was trying to dissuade her somehow, with empty eyes.
"My master was killed… and you're telling me to give up revenge for the sake of my own life?"
"That's right! That's what he would want."
She was now going to fight against the country that had driven her master to his death, and she was going to die in the same way. Lady Cruel didn't want Absolute Ark's sacrifice to be in vain.
"You're telling me to silently watch as the pride and territory of the Ark House, which my master tried to protect even in death, are trampled on even after his death?"
"…That's right."
It was an answer that implied that she should yield to the country in order to live, just as they had done.
But she said it as if mocking it.
"What's the difference between that… and being dead?"
This time, Lady Cruel couldn't say anything.
Lady Cruel was also a noble. She could understand Uru's desire to protect her master and territory. But they had abandoned Absolute Ark. They had no right to say anything to her.
A silence lasted for a while, but Uru opened her mouth.
"Uru is no longer my master's slave… so I'll do as Uru pleases. Lady-sama, please take care of Uria… our child."
Uru deeply bowed her head to Lady Cruel.
(I can't stop her anymore…)
She couldn't stop someone she had known for a long time from going to her death. Lady Cruel felt the same helplessness she had felt when she had let Absolute Ark go alone.
"…I understand. If we had realized Absolute-sama's kindness sooner… this wouldn't have happened. I will take responsibility for taking care of her. Finally… could you hold Uria-sama one more time?"
Uru gently and lovingly held Uria.
Since learning about Absolute Ark's death, tears that hadn't come out overflowed.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry for being a bad mother."
Perhaps influenced by her crying mother, young Uria also began to cry. The two hugged each other while crying.
This was the last time for mother and child.

Mirai Territory
A large number of people gather daily at the cathedral in the Mirai territory. There, was Saint Elizabeth, a hero who defeated Absolute Ark as a member of the Hero's party.
Her attitude of empathizing with each and every person troubled by the title of Saint, people sought solace in her.
The doors of the cathedral opened, and Saint Elizabeth welcomed the worshipers today as well.
What came was a woman in a robe that covered up to half of her face.
"Oh my, hello. Welcome, person in the lovely robe. What can I do for you today?"
The saint spoke in a gentle voice.
"I came to offer prayers to my deceased husband…"
"Oh my, you lost your husband at a young age. It's alright! Your voice will surely reach him."
She was guided to a line of prayers.
When it was Uru's turn, she delivered words to Absolute Ark in heaven.
(…Master, Uru will be there soon too.)
After finishing her prayer, Saint Elizabeth called out to Uru.
"I'm sure your feelings have reached your husband. So, what are you going to do from now on?"
"There's something I have to do for my husband."
"I see. I'm sure your husband will be happy. By the way, what will you do?"
In response to the saint's question, Uru looked into her eyes and said.
"...Massacre."
As soon as she finished speaking, Uru chopped off the saint's head with a hand blade.
Thud
Unable to react to the surprise attack, the saint's head rolled onto the floor.
Blood gushed out like a fountain from the saint's head, dyeing the cathedral red.
"First one."
Without any emotion, Uru muttered as if she had just finished a job.
"A…a… nooooo! Saint-samaaaaaa!"
"M-Murderer!"
A scream went up from one person, and screams rose from the other worshipers, but no one was able to leave the cathedral and was killed by Uru.
A massacre by Uru was about to begin.
Saint Elizabeth: Deceased
After killing the saint at the cathedral, Uru headed to the Hero's mansion.
When she tried to go through the gate, the gatekeeper came to stop her, but Uru killed the gatekeeper and entered the premises of the mansion.
She killed anyone who came into her sight. Then, the commotion grew, and a large number of guards appeared and surrounded Uru.
The female knight leading the guards stood in front of Uru.
"Don't move! My name is Maria Stella. I am a knight of Alto Mirai, the Hero of Rainana. Do you know whose mansion this is and are you running wild here?"
"It doesn't matter whose house it is. I'm going to kill you all anyway."
"Are you some kind of madman… no, wait, you're that slave of the Ark House, aren't you? I see, your goal is revenge.
Alto was worried about you, but it can't be helped. I can't overlook you causing a ruckus. Here I come!"
Closing the distance to Uru, Maria Stella swung down her treasured sword.
It was a full-bodied blow with all her might.
However, Uru used her enhanced dynamic vision from the 【Search】skill to see through the sword, pinched the sword with her fingers, and crushed the treasured sword with acupressure.
"No, way…?!"
Maria couldn't accept what was happening in front of her eyes.
She didn't think her attack would be defended so easily.
And at the same time, she prepared herself. I'm going to die.
A merciless chop attacked Maria.
"Revenge? Don't misunderstand… Uru came here to die."
Maria Stella was helplessly beheaded by Uru.
"Second one."
"S-Such… Maria-sama…"
The guards surrounding her were confused by the death of Maria, who was also one of the heroes.
"Next, it's you guys."
Unreasonable power attacked the guards.
"Uwaaaaaaaah"
Squish, squish, squish, squish
Thud, squish
Splatterrrrr
Uru annihilated the guards who were confused and unable to move, and hurried on.
Maria Stella: Deceased
After killing Maria and the guards, Uru entered the mansion and searched for the Hero.
A certain room was caught by 【Search】, and she opened the door to the room. It was Alicia Mirai's office, and Alicia was there as well.
Alicia finished organizing the last of the documents and looked at Uru.
"I thought it was noisy, so it was you. The slave girl of the Ark House. Your goal is revenge, right? It's too late now, but please let me apologize for your master's sake. It was my fault… If I had properly stopped the Hero…"
"…"
"I'm managing the Ark Territory now. I was surprised because I had heard that the Ark Territory that Absolute Ark left behind was suffering from oppression by the people and rampant embezzlement by the nobles, but when I looked at the documents, I realized how much good governance he had actually put in place. The documents were neatly organized, and there wasn't a single mistake in the numbers regarding tax revenue from the territory. I understood how much he cared about the territory."
Alicia showed remorse, but it didn't matter to Uru.
Uru knew how much he valued the territory.
She had been watching him up close as he stared at the documents.
"Even if you apologize, my master won't come back. I'm going to kill you all."
Alicia gave up everything and offered her body to Uru.
"One last request… could you kill me without pain?"
Suppressing her fear, she begged for final mercy.
Uru answered without thinking.
"I can't."
After that, Alicia's throat was crushed so that she couldn't scream.
"…!"
After that, her limbs were cut off, and she was tortured to death over time.
"Third one."
Alicia Mirai: Deceased
The Hero was in the innermost room of the mansion. He didn't notice the commotion in the mansion and was having fun with his first wife, Haniel. Uru kicked down the door, blowing it into the back of the room.
"W-What's going on?!"
The Hero was confused by the sudden situation, but he was pleased when he realized that the woman who had appeared in front of him was the one he had been looking for.
"Aren't you Uru! That's great. I was going to take you out when I attacked Absolute's mansion, but you weren't there, so I thought something had happened to you! Why are you covered in blood! What happened?"
"Found you… Hero."
The Hero spoke cheerfully, unaware of what was about to happen to him.
"Oh, were you looking for me! I see, you escaped from Absolute, but you didn't know where I was."
Uru glared at the person she had been waiting for.
The man who had trampled on the pride of her important master. And also the man who had taken him away from her.
Gradually, the anger she had felt when she lost Absolute reignited and burned in Uru's heart.
Now, all she could think about was killing the Hero.
"…Because of youuuuu, Masterrrrrrrrrrr! Dieeeeeeeeeee!"
Closing the distance to the Hero at a speed too fast to see, she launched an attack with her fists, but the Hero summoned the Holy Sword with his skill and managed to catch it.
"Uru? Maybe you're still being brainwashed by Absolute! Calm down, I'm not the enemy!"
"Dieeeeeeeeee!"
Uru overwhelmed the Hero with her speed, but the Hero was barely able to respond.
(Why?! She's gotten a lot stronger than she was at the academy!)
Uru was shaken. The Hero defeated Absolute with a force of hundreds of thousands, but he still defeated that Absolute. His level has naturally increased.
"Holy Out!"
The Hero's attack hit Uru directly. The Hero's attack deals a lot of damage per hit due to the skill's effect. Uru took a lot of damage and crawled on the ground.
"Guuh…"
"Uru! You were deceived. Absolute was a member of the dark organizations and an evil who has been tormenting this country! He's a scumbag who enslaved and tormented you when you were still young! You're still being manipulated by Absolute!"
Uru raised her battered body and retorted to the Hero.
"…That's wrong…. My master gave Uru a place to live. He cast recovery magic on Uru when she was injured. He let me eat sweet sweets. He stroked Uru's head a lot. And… he loved Uru. He made Uru a mother…. Don't make fun of me… don't make fun of my masterrrrrrr!"
Burning her life even while taking a lot of damage, she stood up again.
She could never forgive him for killing and insulting her master.
Uru attacked again, roaring at the Hero. Uru overwhelmed the Hero with her technique and number of attacks. But she couldn't break through the Hero's defense.
"Holy Out!"
The Hero attacked, but Uru barely dodged it.
The battle was at a standstill, but Uru still had a trump card left.
(…It might be okay if it ends here. But I'll definitely kill the Hero. I'll use the 【Beast Transformation】 skill.)
The Beast Transformation skill is a skill that transforms the body into a beast, but as the level increases, the body and power increase. However, as a price, while the user is in beast form, they lose their reason and become a beast that only kills the opponent.
(Maybe I won't be able to go back to normal if I use it… I wanted to think about my master and die in the end.)
Uru recalled Absolute Ark's face one last time and made up her mind.
"I love you… Master. 【Beast Transformation】, activate!"
Uru's body was enveloped in light.
As the light gradually grew, Uru's body changed into that of a beast.
The beastified Uru transformed into a wolf over ten meters tall.
From here, Uru's rampages begin.
