A bright red flower when I slice off the head~ Coming out gush gush, cutcut
Demon king castle entrance.
One can only enter the castle, which was surrounded by a canal, by passing the bridge in the front.
A lone girl approached the soldiers who were standing to protect that bridge.
Hm? Little lady, youre human? Its dangerous to be in a place like this you know?
Fresh meatcutcut!
Eh?
The soldier, who talked gently to her, died with his head bidding farewell to his body.
Wha!? You!
Lots to cutcut!
Kah
The two soldiers who rushed up after seeing that, were sliced vertically in half and died.
E- Enemy attack
CUTCUT!
The soldier who broke into a run to inform of the emergency, was turned into pieces and died without realizing.
The clothes on her chest and her shorts were stained and her black pigtail hair was dyed a darkish color with that spurt of blood.
Ahaa A loot of flowers more, moore
The girl, while swinging, crossed over the bridge, where pieces of flesh were scattered about, and entered the castle.
There was a reception room in the demon king castle.
Glain, Elka, Tia and also Brad were gathered in this room.
Now then, what shall we do from now on?
There were no people in this room who could respond immediately to the question Glain asked.
Demon king Desastre and Sea god Levia were currently unconscious due to having their blood and powers taken by Creasyl.
Yuuhi was disordered and was not in a condition to get out of her room.
All beastmen present went on the reinforcement boat and temporarily returned to their country in order to think about a counterplan with their country.
Ides and Lily of the five great demon generals had been completely recovered from their injuries, but they were out in order to clean up the battlefield.
The ones who could currently discuss fairly were only the four in this room.
No, it was three to be accurate.
Elka Elka!
Yes?
Even when Glain called her, Elkas response was very weak.
Her expression shows shes fatigued and would seem to collapse anytime soon.
Elka, you dont have to force yourself. If it is difficult, then rest in your room.
Are you all fine with this? That master Setsu disappeared in front of our eyes
Elka recalled the scene of that time and covered her face.
From her perspective, she had come to lose him twice.
The mental shock of that must have been immeasurable.
Its difficult you know. During the night I would be sad and my tears would come out. But, Im trying to forget it. Because at this rate not only Setsu, but also everyone else may disappear
Elka understood Tias word inside her mind.
Its better to think earnestly about whats before their eyes before grieving. This was a hopelessly sound argument and so Elkas feelings became frantic in not accepting those words.
Switching over and thinking about fighting despite having her loved one disappear was not something she should be able to do.
Elka, dont overdo it. After all, now its an exchange of ideas since we cant come up with a countermeasure. You can just tell us if you have any opinion on this
I understand
Elka hung her head and the initiative was completely placed on Brad.
Good, putting order the current situation first. Creasyl disappeared in front of us, but we dont know when she will start her attack. And lastly if she attacks, we wont stand a chance with our current fighting power
It doesnt seem like magic would pass through her. Its only my impression though
I guess its not significant enough to test it, that much at least
Brad pointed his face to the ceiling and closed his eyes.
It was a habit of his whenever he would think about things.
He was working his head as is, but he did not come up with a good idea for this one time as he expected.
Silent thinking wrapped up the four.
That time, hurried sounds approached from the corridor outside.
Lord Brad! Is Lord Brad here!?
Calm down, what happened?
Who violently opened the door to the room and rushed inside was a soldier patrolling inside the castle.
His hurry was not the usual; sweat was dripping and his whole body was trembling.
I- its an intruder! We could not put even a dent and now shes moving inside the castle!
What did you say What about her traits?
Its a girl shes short and we cant see her as anything but a child, but shes cutting up the whole body with puzzling and mysterious attacks
Hmm
From soldiers manner of trembling, Brad somehow judged the invaders threat.
And what he thought next is the expectations that facing her alone may be dangerous.
When he looked over his shoulders there, Glain and Tia had already stood up and gone towards him.
The two of you, come along with
No Brad, we ask you to lead the evacuation of Elka and the other soldiers
Its better if a demon like you would give instructions so we wont have the damage increase anymore than this
But! If you cannot defeat her with the two of you
Speaking up to that point, Brad closed his mouth.
The two had already gotten ready for battle.
One should have considerable resolution and persistence to stop this.
Its alright. If it is hopeless for us, then we will buy time so get reinforcements please
We probably do not need it though
Alright
Brad, seeing Elka who was beyond the gazes of the two, answered such.
She was being flustered, without understanding this situation even now.
Leaving her in such condition would be extremely dangerous.
That that cool woman would turn this way
Thats why were entrusting her to you alright?
Right, leave it to me
The two leaped through the room and ran towards the direction the soldier pointed towards.
Come, were going as well
Uhm What is happening right-
We will talk later. Come with me for now
Pulling Elkas hand, Brad too left the room behind.
That time, they were not aware of the mysterious thunderous roar resounding on a floor higher than where they were in.
Smell of blood were almost there!
Shes here!
Beyond the direction of their movement, smell of blood was drifting about.
Something was tumbling, colliding with the corridor.
It was the head of a helmet wearing soldier. There was no body on it, only bright red blood was gushing out of it.
Gh!
Glain, having a bad feeling about this, readied his sword at once.
When he thought he saw sparks flying around along with a metallic sound resounding, his body was blown off and knocked down into the corridor.
What is!
Glain!
Tia ran up to him.
Being held up by her, Glain rose his body and established the cause of it.
His head didnt fly, chop offsplatsplat. Ahaa
Youre the invader?
Thats not my name, I am
The figure of the young girl who named herself Ripper, vanished.
Glain promptly held Tia in his arms and readied his sword horizontally.
Metallic sound once again resounded.
However, this time Glains body caught up and instead of being blown off, he switched to locking swords with her.
That hand! A full body weapon?
Ahih! You stopped me! I cant cut I cant cut!
Unfolding what was locking swords with Glain was the young girls hand beyond her elbow.
Even her fingertips were turned into blades and let loose a metal luster.
Gieh!
Tia released a fireball from point-blank range and the sword lock was over with Ripper being blown away.
Taking distance, the two somehow recovered their posture.
Ripper laughed while slowly swinging and staggering.
It wasnt effective
It was certain she shot a weak spell so they themselves wont get dragged into it, but receiving a fireball from her, who was humans strongest class of spellcasters, and not having damage was somewhat of a shock to her.
Red ball, flickering in front of my eyes is waarm!
Tia get down!
Gh
Tia nodded and got down. At the same time, Glain rushed out and attacked her with his sword clad in magic power.
Ripper drew one sword from the center of her chest and struck him.
The swords of the two met each other.
However this time, it did not make a metallic sound.
What is
Ahih, bright red flower. So pretty~
His sword was bisected and Glain, who had the flash of a sword struck from his head to his crotch, split left and right while scattering large quantities of blood.
Seeing Glain who turned in two, Rippers facial expression turned full of smiles and only her laughter resounded in the corridor.
If one were to speak of Tia, who looked at her dead companion without being taken aback
That may be a more troubling ability than I thought
She was endlessly calm.
That would be on par for the course.
Because Glain was standing behind Ripper.
Did you grasp her sportsmanship?
Yes, thanks to you of course
Eh?
Glains sword gleamed.
This time, blood gushed out of Rippers back.
Her body fell on the floor.
What was there before was not the bisected Glain, but a mere wooden doll.
Dont say anything like it was dirty, alright? We humans will sadly not survive if we dont use tricks like these, you see?
Their positions now reversed, Glains blade was thrustbefore Rippers head.
