Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero's Friend: Running the Kingdom Behind the Scenes (Light Novel) Vol. 7: Part 2

RESOLVE AND REVELATIONS

After falling into a trap set by the demons, Werner von Zehrfeld faces his greatest challenge yet. Not only has Lily been abducted, but a large army of monsters is steadily approaching the royal capital. This is the moment Werner has long been preparing for, ever since awakening to his memories of having played the game this world was based on. But between his fiancée now being in the clutches of a mysterious demon with a connection to a past hero, and the many mysteries he uncovered at the underground library, not even a walkthrough guide would be enough to save the day! With the war against the demons reaching a fever pitch, can Werner save Lily without sacrificing the city?
