CH 59
Just when new humanity was in high spirits upon perfecting their magic, incidents began to occur around the world.
It first happened in a small remote country.
On a certain afternoon.
A guardsman was leisurely gazing at a forest where demons were roaming. They observed the surroundings from a high watchtower. On that afternoon, he noticed a rising wall of smoke a distance away from his station..
The curious guardsman used clairvoyance to scrutinize the smoke. The moment he was able to perceive what it was, his eyes grew wide. He started to sweat from his pores and his legs grew unsteady.
「Sir- Sir, we have a problem!!」
The guardsman rushed into the office of the head of defence with a warped expression. The commander was doing paperwork, and was startled by the sudden intrusion.
「How noisy… Haa-
I may have messed up this stamp because of you.」
But the soldier did not apologize and simply shouted back in response,
「Sir, it’s the demons! The demons!
There’s a stampede of demons coming straight at us!」
When he heard that, the commander seemed to lose interest.
「Demons, huh?
So some medium-sized ones have come?
Calm yourself, they will not be able to surpass these walls.」
The guardsman reported the details of the approaching stampede. As they finished, the stamp fell out of the commander’s hands. This time he wasn’t so calm.

The magic in this new era emitted almost no magical remnants, so only surrounding populated settlements with high magic consumption would there be a meaningful level of magical remnants in the air. Therefore, the starved larger demons started to advance towards these settlements.
The first to encounter this situation was this small city in a remote land.
As this country held a small population, there would not be a high level of magic remnants, even if they were to switch to last-era magic. Yet the magic of the new era had further decreased the concentration of magical remnants in the area..
Thus, the larger demons who lived in these rural regions lost a critical food supply.
