Chapter 20: Monsters and Humans VIII.

I felt another familiar demonic aura disappear. Kronos, whose back was covered with half-submerged spikes, gasped and stood up. Glancing at the eagle corpse not far away that was spread out on the ground like a hill, his teeth clucking.

For organizations, how rare is an "eye" that can detect a wide range of areas like radar. And under the close monitoring of the organization, there are even fewer "eyes" that can successfully awaken and escape. In the end, instead of going to the Abyss of the North or the Abyss of the West, he chose to come to the south and join them, and Gillian was the only one for decades. That's it for now......

Kronos jerked his head back and stabbed the rest of his braid towards Sistina, who was still standing on her knees.

And with the great liberation of the demonic energy, Sistina's delicate and heroic face began to swell and deform, and a mouthful of teeth became sharp and open. Slightly sideways flashed the strands of steel ropes that shot out, and stretched out his arms to hold a large braid each, tightly clamping it under his armpits.

"It's ......"

It can be said that he felt the surging amount of demonic energy from Sistina's body closely, and Kronos was frightened, but he no longer spared his demonic energy output.

Teng Ran increased his strength a few points, trying to shake the monstrous warrior away, but Sistina seemed to be rooted under his feet, and no matter how hard he exerted his force, he could not move. Suddenly, his two braids seemed to be crushed, and then the huge force that could not be resisted was transmitted, and his whole body rose into the air, and he was swept around several times in mid-air, and he was thrown out again in a dizziness, and he looked up at the place where he was going to land hard, and saw Lacrena, who was dodging in a panic......

'Just...... It was almost ......' Sistina's shoulders and back were irregularly inflated and deflated, and she knew very well that her demonic energy had reached its maximum limit.

'Just need... Further on... Just take a small step. Sistina's round golden pupils suddenly turned to look at Gray.

'Hurry, or it will be too late...... What the hell are you waiting for...... 'Reaching the critical point, Sistina's body swayed, and she struggled to move her steps towards Gray, leaving a colorful red footprint behind her feet with each step.

'I'm a monster in my heart, but now I'm just a monster in my body......

……

"Oh my God......"

The man in black watching from the side of the mountain, his teeth were fighting, but he had seen it all, whether it was the strange ability of the target awakened to control the dead warriors this time, or the famous awakened people who came one after another, this was not an idle person.

And Sistina, under their siege, not only did she survive the present, but also killed the two Awakened in turn......

And now, even if he can't feel the demonic energy, he can see the terrifying amount of demonic energy with the naked eye. What do the keywords "monster-like", "NO.1", and "awakening" stand together?

Do you want to be "lucky" to witness the birth of the third abyss......

"Gross! How long are you going to lie down! Hurry up if you're not dead!! The man in black panicked and kicked over NO.10, who was still kneeling there.

"Use your powers! I use it for the monster! The man in black tugged at Gross's long hair and lifted her entire upper body up as she groaned/groaned in pain.

"The new abyss can't appear in my hand......" The man in black panicked, said his heart, and immediately changed his words, "I can't let her wake up!" Once she awakens, the consequences are unimaginable! It's all for humanity! Hurry up, Gross!! ”

"I, I can't do it... She's too powerful. Like Gross, who hadn't come out of a nightmare yet, she was holding the roots of her hair that had been pulled by the man in black.

"Can't do it?!" The man in black roared in her ear in anger, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, you told me, 'You can't do it?!' ”

……

Only then did Gray realize that he had turned back into a human body at some point.

Because he never knew or thought about calculating and controlling the output of the demon qi, and the "corpse concubine" released was also driven by the demon qi, and all the people released it in one go, so that the demon qi reserves were consumed in an almost countdown manner.

Looking at the fierce warrior who was pierced by sharp objects, but still did not give up, and pressed towards him step by step, Gray's body actually felt the chill that he had not seen for a long time, and the violent demon wind that swept over made his stomach hurt, and he only felt that he was as fragile and powerless as a boat on the verge of a storm......

'Why! With so much blood loss, her control of her body began to become sluggish, but Sistina was never able to take a step that seemed out of reach.

Her vision suddenly blurred, but she knew that it wasn't caused by blood loss, but the mysterious NO.10......

["Sistina, come down! ”

There was an anxious cry from below, and Sistina looked down at an old man dressed as a craftsman, and she was on a tall tree because of a kitten trapped on it......

Apparently she had miscalculated the weight of the branches, and with a "click" snapping sound, she fell straight down while holding the kitten. Below is the storeroom of the glass workshop......

But he miraculously survived, but it seemed that something was missing from his head, and others called him from "God's favored child" to "heartless monster...... After that, even if her parents were eaten by demons and she was "sent" to the organization by the villagers, she didn't feel anything. 】

……

"What are you stunned about!"

The man in black looked at NO.10 who suddenly froze and shouted.

"She disconnected me again." Gruth said in a trembling voice, ready to endure the ferocious retaliation that would follow, and this counterattack could have permanently damaged her brain. Revenge is imaginable, but it has not come.

……

Sistina withdrew her gaze from the hill where No.10 was located.

'After awakening...... What will happen to you? She only felt that her steps were getting heavier and heavier, and her mind quickly calculated the future after her awakening, and all kinds of pictures flew by...... Sistina looked away from Gray, who was too frightened to move.

'No matter what you think about it, there seems to be only one ......' Sistina glanced at the sword tomb complex.

Forget it. She was on the verge of awakening and suddenly forcibly stopped the output of demonic energy, but continued to reduce the rate of demonic qi liberation, the puffiness and fangs on her face disappeared, and gradually returned to her former appearance, and finally even the golden pupils turned back into silver pupils, only the bags under her eyes had more lingering black shadows.

"So I still ...... after all" became more and more sleepy, and finally she couldn't help but close her eyes, and then she couldn't open them anymore. In a trance, it was like returning to the afternoon of the trainees' years, and the trainees wearing only tights under the tree looked up with their heads high and looked at themselves with earnest eyes......

'If I had said yes then, what would I do now......

……

Gray, who had been locked by the oppressive aura of the "Heavenly Speaker", suddenly felt this invisible pressure loosen, and at this time, Sistina, who had already come to him, shook her body as if she had lost her center of gravity, and crashed straight into his arms.

Gray subconsciously hugged Sistina's weakly sliding body, and he didn't know why he did it. Obviously, the murderous god who made him chill a moment ago...... Is it because Sistina can never hurt him anymore, or is it because the smile on Sistina's face that has been expressionless and fighting like an inhuman beast until now is too dazzling and enviable......

……

"The monster is finally dead."

The man in black wiped his sweat, and to be honest, Sistina had just broken free from NO.10, and it almost scared his heart to stop.

"Well done, Gross." The man in black casually praised Gross beside him, and then, as if he realized something, he hurriedly took out a small oval pot from his pocket and threw it at Grusi's feet, urging him anxiously, "Hurry up and take the secret medicine, we have to leave here immediately." ”

Those awakened must have sensed the demonic aura of Grusi just now, and they usually don't dare to trouble themselves on weekdays, but this time it was different, they had just killed two of their companions, and it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't spread this anger on their heads.

Grusi's lips squirmed a few times, and finally bit her lower lip until the bite broke and bleed, and she crouched down on one knee to pick up the small pot containing the secret medicine.

'Sistina is dead. But when will I ...... in this life that is worse than death?

……

For the Awakened, after a great battle, both body and mind are thirsting for a feast......

Gray, who had grown accustomed to this hunger, ran one hand through the crook of Sistina's legs, picked her up sideways, and turned to look at Kronos and Lacrena.

They should be the same...... And the place of "abundant food" is not far away......

Gray stared at Sistina's childlike appearance, his face changed several times, and finally took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, kissed the corner of Sistina's slightly curled mouth, and then ......

"Senior Kronos, are you okay?"

Lacrena, who had regained her human form, walked up to Kronos, who had also changed back into her human form, and stretched out her hand to Kronos, who was still lying in a large pit in the ground.

"It's fine." Kronos grabbed Racrena's hand and stood up, about to open his mouth to say something, when he suddenly heard an abrupt bite and swallowing sound.

The two of them followed the sound and saw Gray burying his face in the abdomen of the No.1......

"Uh-" Both of them felt a chill when they saw this, no one knew better than the awakened themselves how smelly the meat was, and the taste was no different from that.

"Senior, are you so hungry......" Lacreena covered her mouth and nose with one hand, a disgusted expression. I really can't understand Gray's thoughts, can't I help it for a while, it's obviously ...... nearby

"......" Kronos frowned, as if he had thought of a possibility.

"Forget it, let's talk about everything until we're full." Cronos touched his stomach, greeted Lacrena, and walked toward the town of Plainsville.

At this time, Gray slowly put down Sistina, walked to their path with his head down, and wiped the blood on the side of his mouth with the back of his hand, "Trouble...... Please change places. ”

"What did you say?"
