In the "square" in the center of the town dedicated to the statues of gods, Claire and Calvin sat on the stone benches on the periphery, looking at the "Guardian" stone sculpture, Gray was teaching a little boy to hold the thread, and slowly raised the "triangle" piece of paper floating in the sky in front of the exclamation of a group of children around them.

"It's making strange things again." Calvin seemed to have become accustomed to this phenomenon.

"He seems to like he likes to play with children." Claire, resting her head on her husband's shoulder, smiled and added in her heart: Or maybe he's like a child sometimes.

"I hope this kind of 'like' doesn't mean like to eat." Calvin stared worriedly at Gray, who had unknowingly become the "child king" of the town.

"Why are you still so wary of him?" Claire withdrew her head and looked at Calvin in disbelief.

"You, your heart is so good......" Calvin looked back at her with a complicated expression, but it was not too serious, because these were one of the countless reasons why he liked Clea. Calvin gave Gray a cautious look, and after making sure he wasn't paying attention, he whispered, "But kindness also scores!" No matter how much it behaves like a human, it is not a human after all. Isn't disguise or something exactly what 'demons' are good at? ”

"......" Claire then noticed that many of the men and women surrounding the square seemed to be chatting and hanging out, but they were all concerned about their children.

Since Gray's power in this town can be described as absolute, and it is considered to be "invited" by them, the adults naturally dare not say anything to the child to "stay away from the demon", God knows that if the child accidentally says that it will be a big trouble. So he only vaguely warned the child not to get so close to "Mr. Gray", it can go so far, and it is too obvious to say it...... But children are children after all, and Gray has an endless stream of "new toys" here, so warnings or something are simply deaf ears.

"You can't be so gullible as a child?" What Calvin actually wanted to say was that if Gray was really an ordinary person, then he would not let Gray live in his home, because this was no longer the level of "the old Ge next door", but "the old Ge at home".

"......" Claire wanted to justify the last time Gray rescued herself from the hands of the "demon" (Lacrena), but when the words came to her mouth, she instinctively felt that it was not suitable to say it, and she did not mention it to anyone, because she always felt that it was a "secret" feeling that was difficult to tell......

"Ugh." As if avoiding a certain thought, Claire focused on the laughing children, and sighed as if she was longing, "When will we have children?" ”

"......" Calvin pretended not to hear, but glanced at Gray in annoyance. Since Gray's appearance, the "normal nightlife" between their husband and wife has come to an end, first, the sound insulation of the hotel walls can be said to be equal to zero, and usually there are guests staying in the room, and the two people with thin skin will take the initiative to interrupt. The second is that knowing that there is a man-eating monster living next door, and daring to do that thing unscrupulously, this kind of person seems to be uncommon...... Anyway, Calvin didn't even have the heart to think about it.

“……”

While the Calvins peeked at Gray's whispers from time to time, Gray also paid attention to them from time to time, watching the two of them so intimate, although they knew that these two were husband and wife, no matter how close they were, they deserved it, but Gray always felt very uncomfortable in his heart......

"Okay, I suddenly remembered something, you guys can play by yourself." Gray barely managed to squeeze out a smile and handed the bundle of thread in his hand to the little boy with the lid in front of him. Then, the moment he turned around, his face immediately became gloomy and terrifying, not because of Claire's business, but because he sensed some kind of familiar presence again.

It's endless, isn't it?

……

This time it's NO.2. Do you want to beat forty-seven warriors one by one...... And he came alone, and he was really regarded as a scrap station......

In front of the "Sword Tomb" group in the southwest of the town, Gray deliberately released his demonic energy, looking at the warriors he had attracted from afar. He always chooses to meet the enemy here, except because the summoned "corpse princess" has no weapons, and it is convenient to use local materials here. In addition, he felt that it could serve as a deterrent to the soldiers who came one after another...... Maybe some of them have smart people who will calm down a little bit and listen to themselves after seeing these "lessons from the past", instead of thinking that they will talk because they are afraid of them......

However, the development of the situation was still the same as always, and without waiting for Gray to speak, the other party did not hesitate to draw his sword after noticing the sword mark of a certain big sword in the "Sword Tomb".

For this kind of result, Gray, who was thinking about the opening statement, was secretly relieved for no reason, because he had only now realized that he didn't want to say anything more to them......

'The demonic energy is not strong! And until now, there has been no further action to liberate the demonic energy...... Did Sistina die at the hands of an enemy of this magnitude?! ’

Canaan stared at the awakened who still maintained her human body, and a strong uneasiness arose in her heart, and on the way she jumped up and slashed down with a sword, a figure rushed towards her at a very fast speed, and its weapon was also ......

'Greatsword? Canaan reflexively followed him and landed on the ground, "Speed Awakener? ’

Canaan's mind turned sharply to analyze, the enemy's speed was indeed very fast, and even if she was extremely visible, she could only capture a black afterimage. The "Aerial Domination Sword" is like a preset internal program, which is activated before thinking and stress, and the rapid attack that attacks from all directions at the same time at the same time is protected by the "Aerial Domination Sword".

'Are you going to use the great sword to fight yourself to the end......?' Canaan read the rhythm of the enemy's attack and gradually established his "position" to prepare for a counterattack, but suddenly found something that shocked her, that is: the Awakened was still standing in the same place as before, and it seemed that it had not moved the whole time...... So who is fighting with yourself now? And this attack style and rhythm ......

"Sunny?!" Canaan, who began to fight back, intercepted the attacker's path with a sword, and in the moment his body froze, he verified the conjecture that he still couldn't believe even if he saw it with his own eyes. Before she could regain her senses, countless barb-like objects burst out of the ground beneath her feet.

“！！” Although Canaan jumped to dodge at the first time, the barbs that emerged suddenly softened, and as if they had turned into countless hunting snakes, they suddenly stretched out and bounced around her left ankle. Canaan's face changed drastically, the big sword in his hand reversed direction, and his heart was desperate to cut off his calf immediately before the restraint spread, but at this time, a familiar face appeared in front of her.

"...... Axia"

Along with it, there is also a sword skill known as the "first destructive power" among contemporary warriors - the Rock Crushing Sword.

"Qiang-" In the sound of metal colliding that almost broke the eardrums of ordinary people, a big sword flew out of his hand, and he sank into the grass diagonally, and the sword body was still trembling.

Canaan fell to the ground and dragged for a short distance, dizzily rolling over and struggling to crawl towards her sword, but her hands felt as if they had lost their instincts. The hair that had been waiting for a long time struck her, quickly wrapped around her neck and limbs, lifted her from the ground in its desperate twisting and shaking, and pulled her into the shape of a "big" character in mid-air facing Gray.

"NO.2 is really much worse than NO.1......"

“！！” Canaan, who was originally in a state of suffocation because the hair around her neck was too tight, after hearing the self-muttering muttering from the mouth of the awakened, she struggled desperately again, and the demonic energy output completely ignored the "boundary" and climbed wildly, until there was a pain between her eyebrows, and the blood flowing at high speed in her body suddenly splashed a bloody arrow from the small wound, so that she was in danger of stopping at the "critical point".

"Calm me down!"

After confirming that she had finally stopped releasing the demonic energy, Gray removed the tip of the tentacle against her forehead, and then used this "mechanical" tentacle to take Canaan's big sword out of the ground and hand it into his right hand.

'Is it over......?' Canaan, who had completely lost his strength, gave up the struggle and rushed to this place without sleep for several days, and immediately entered the battle without any rest, so to speak, it can be said that it is all by will to fight until now.

'Are you going to kill yourself with your own sword?' The blood in her forehead flowed into her eyes, and in her reddened gaze, she watched Gray slowly walk towards herself as if he were playing with his great sword. She didn't have the slightest fear, but an indescribable sense of relief, she knew from the beginning that she couldn't win, and she knew that it was tantamount to suicide...... But she still came, desperately, she just wanted to know how the character who could kill Sistina existed......

Whoop –

The Awoken plunged her sword into the ground in front of her, and as she released it from her restraints, Canaan, whose arms could not be used, fell to the ground by surprise, and her face made fierce contact with the ground.

"Let's go." Gray dropped a faint sentence and turned to leave.

“？！” Canaan, whose face was buried in the mud, was stunned for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, his upper body wanted to get up but there was obviously no way to support him with his hands, so his body arched back, his chin slammed heavily on the ground, and he shouted hoarsely at Gray's back: "What do you mean by this!" ”

"......," Gray looked back at the sword graves, "enough innocent blood has been shed. ”

What does that mean exactly? Is it because you're too weak? Is it so weak that it doesn't bother to kill itself...... Canaan's expression turned grim and he swore and roared, "You'd better kill me now!" Or I'll make you regret it! I'm going to kill—"

"You can't do it."

Unlike the heavy mood after the previous battle, Gray's mood after the battle was very relaxed, and he felt as if he felt good about everything. Because he finally got out of the dead situation of being killed if he didn't kill, his strength had finally reached the point where he could "show mercy to his subordinates", and a strong sense of self-confidence stirred in his chest for a long time, "No matter how many times I try again, the result will be the same." ”
