The next day, the two came to a relatively empty flat land, with a stream running through it. It is surrounded by woods, and some parts of the bush are trampled out of a night path by animals, but it is daytime, so there are no animals moving on the road.

Instead, some deer hid in the depths, staring at Erri and Yakumo Murasaki. Suddenly, strange figures appeared in the drinking place, and the instincts of the animals made them stay away.

All kinds of birds, which were rare in later generations and had never even been seen before, stood sparsely on the branches, either busy greeting or looking at the two people in the middle of the flat ground.

Erri listened carefully to the movement around her, and the demonic change in her constitution stimulated her, or rather, stimulated her own strength. Not only his own strength and speed, but also his own intuition and observation, and secondly, the magic that finally aroused.

The reserves of that magic were low, but at least it felt like that.

"Purple, help me confirm."

She closed her eyes and listened to the changes around her. Purple is in a place where Erli can't see, observing the forest through the gaps.

"Hmm"

"There are twenty-three...... No, twenty-two birds are around. There were thirteen to seventeen four-legged animals ready to come to the creek, but were frightened by us, or... Prepare to be your prey. ”

"There are no predators, Leigh. It's deer, wild boar, and sheep. ”

Ellie shook her head, opened her eyes, and pressed her temples in passing. Listening carefully to these sounds and distinguishing them is a lot of brains.

"It's a lot stronger, but ...... It's vague. ”

"I think it's pretty good, Leigh."

Seeing that Erli stopped, Purple closed the gap outside.

"Maybe it takes time to adjust yourself? Well, it doesn't matter.

So, Purple, let's get down to business. ”

She let out a sigh of relief, ready to try to master the power of the day before yesterday. At the same time, Purple also calculated the surrounding space, maximizing the output of demonic power as much as possible.

You can't make a mistake, and if you make a mistake, I'm afraid Liz will ......

After quickly doing the mental math with her own thoughts, Purple said to her.

"I'm ready, Leigh. As soon as something is wrong, I will use the realm immediately. ”

"Hmm... I know. ”

Ellie closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing.

Consciousness began to sink into his body, looking for the source of the power he had acquired.

Purple, the purple as far as the eye can see, shines in front of your eyes.

I need demonic powers.

No, I need my own strength, the power that lurks within me.

"Strength."

The sound suddenly flooded into his head, but the purple light faded, and the red blood streaks occupied the purple picture little by little.

Purple magical lightning emanated from her body again, encircling Ellie's body, not the feeling of electric sparks yesterday, but the thunderstorm feeling like vines the day before yesterday.

Purple took her stance and began to prepare to cast her realm

"Give me more power!"

"Hmm!"

Although there were no scars on his body, he felt like his body was being turned over from the inside out.

I feel something in my stomach, and I am ready to forcibly tear my stomach open with my teeth and break through.

The bloodshot trail continued to erode Ellie's vision, and the voice kept repeating and amplifying.

The surrounding voices were long gone, only the monotonous and empty shout.

"Strength! Strength! Strength! Strength! Strength! ”

There was only this voice in my head, only constant shouting.

It is no longer a sound from the outside, but a constant cry from one's own body, and then reflected back into one's ears.

"Strength! Strength! Strength! Strength! Strength! ”

The bloodshot was also constantly written into power, reflected on his retina. She tried to open her eyes, only to find that she couldn't control her eyelids.

The veins were twisted into the word power by that red glow.

"Strength! Strength! Strength! Strength! Strength! ”

It seems that the brain that is supporting in the end can't resist it at all. Words affect the brain, and the brain subtly affects her throat to make her speak.

“……… Force ......"

The only consciousness allowed her to restrain the second half of the word.

Purple lightning, in the blink of an eye, turned a desperate red and wrapped around Ellie.

"Leigh!"

When Yakumo Zi saw it, he instantly expanded his realm.

"The realm of humans and youkai!"

As the realm unfolded, the lightning did not immediately disappear or disperse as Purple imagined, but surrounded Erli, constantly turning inward.

And she obviously felt a repulsion, a repulsion that was not satisfied with control, and forcibly broke through that very fragile realm.

"Fundamentally... I can't keep it! ”

What's even more terrifying is that the controlled Erli is a sponge, constantly devouring Yakumo Murasaki's demonic power.

With such a devouring method, it is estimated that she will not be able to hold up for half a minute, and her demonic power will be squeezed dry.

"Leigh! Wake up! ”

Purple didn't have much choice, so she had to rely on her own voice to shout Erli inside.

……

……

……

"Hahahahaha,

Not as crazy as I imagined.

I don't know if you can still hear it,

If you can hear it, summon your sword.

I can't hear you, so I wish you a happy death. ”

The consciousness was not as monotonous and unforgiving as a letter, but the voice of a kind-faced old man.

Falling on the retina, a white light directly broke through those empty and repetitive words, like Moses, and vividly carved out a space in this red sea.

The consciousness that was almost crazy was suddenly awakened by this consciousness, and Erli followed her instinct and took out her Jingyue knife directly from her own space.

Yakumo Purple outside, saw Erli take out her Jingyue knife, the Jingyue knife burning with blue fire, and the red lightning continued to entangle.

"I... It's..."

I watched the only little purple left in my eyes shrink in the center, and there was a layer of blue fluorescence on the outside, blocking the red from seeping into the last reason.

Jing Yue's knife buzzed, startling Ellie. However, she only noticed that it had an unusual appearance.

The burning blue fire ran down the blade of the knife and climbed up his arm. It wasn't as hot as she thought, but a cool feeling.

Little by little, the voice of longing for power faded in her head, but it didn't go away, only to the point where an Ellie could withstand it.

"Clever, really smart.

You'll use the power of your sword to counteract the demonic form's need for power.

Your mana isn't enough to support your demonic form, let's be honest.

Your physical age is probably about 16 years old.

For demons, you're just at the level of a baby.

When you can control this power skillfully, you don't need anything outside.

It will take about 30 to 100 years.

At that time, you with the blood of demons were able to control the form. ”

The consciousness spoke without emotion, and Erri just listened with her ears sideways.

"Until then, don't get your knife off when you take your demon form.

Otherwise, you'll still hear those voices.

I still send you a word, don't send you to death. ”

……

……

……

"Hah... Hah! ”

Sweat dripped down her chin, and Yakumo gasped for air.

I thought that the knife that Erli took out could drive away the red lightning, but I didn't expect the blue fire to climb up along Erlie's body, burning her body.

As a result, Yakumo Murasaki continued to maintain that realm, hoping to use her demonic power to control Erli inside. But it's useless, except to waste your demonic power in vain.

"Damn it...... Beautiful! …”

"Purple?"

Inside, Ellie opened her eyes and looked at Yakumo Murasaki.

It's not a purple mist, it's not a seeping red, it's a clear gaze.

“… Beautiful! Are you awake? ”

"Hmm."

As soon as Ellie agreed, the flames and lightning were gone, and instead they were the same as the day before yesterday, with a hint of electric sound, a little dull. It was still purple lightning, wrapping around Ellie's body, and there was no difference from yesterday except for the position of the eyeball.

"Great, great..."

Yakumo Zi immediately lifted the realm and adjusted his breathing.

Elle also lifted her demonic form, put the knife back into space, and ran in front of Purple. Purple also took advantage of the situation, and put her hands on Erli's shoulders.

"Purple, how are you?"

"It's just an overdraft of some demonic power, it's fine. But, Leigh, you're... How did you get adjusted? ”

"With the knife in my hand, it helped me."

Purple also began to observe her left arm, and found no signs of burns on Aery's left arm, not even her clothes were damaged.

"The fire didn't hurt you, did it?"

"No, it's quite comfortable, it's cool."

"That'...... Is this a mastery of power? ”

"It's in control. It's just that I have to use a knife as a medium to control my... Belch... Youkai form.

If I really want to control it, it will probably take me a long time. ”

Zi frowned, this kind of control is very risky, in case there is no restriction of the Jingyue Knife, Li will still become an irrational monster.

“…… How long does it take? ”

"At least thirty years. At most, it should be 100 years. ”

"That's alright... Youkai have a long lifespan, so that shouldn't be too long..."

"Hmm..."

Seeing that Elle seemed to be thinking about this, Purple directly hit Elle in the head with a hand knife.

"It hurts!"

"Don't use it until you have to."

"I know... I know... Now go back, your current state is not something you can hold. ”

"Well... Good... Gotta go back. ”

Erri hugged Yakumo Purple and prepared to return to the cave where she had been before,

Tell me about it.

"Who?"

Sou!

Purple just shouted out, and she didn't finish the end yet. Erlie pulled out her knife and stabbed through the creature hiding inside.

It was a deer that had been impaled through her head directly.

It's nothing, but ......

The part stabbed by the knife, but there was not a trace of blood.

Followed by.

The deer did not fall, but turned into a pile of black ash and fell to the ground.

"Leigh?"

Purple didn't expect Erli to rush out so quickly and kill her with one blow.

“…… Purple..."

Erlie put the knife back, and it seemed a little complicated to explain.

“… I'm afraid, it's not that simple..."
