Chapter 7: The Targeted Demons
"Ahh......h I was going to go to the library or something like that to do my summer homework......"
"Yukina, do you want to follow me?"
"Yes, can't you?"
Yukina asked with a serious face. It was like "what else is there to say so far".
"No, although it doesn't mean no...... Is it possible that it will always be in the future? ”
"Of course, because it's the one in charge of monitoring."
Saying this, Yukina has a guitar case with a spear on her back and begins to tidy up the table.
……
West?Island, one of the four base islands that make up the island of the string god, is the street that is sleepless. This market, which is home to commercial facilities and restaurants, has many shops that stay open until dawn.
Most demons like to be at night, so in this market, where there are many demon residents, the benefits for them are also fulfilling. In a sense, this dazzling night scene full of neon lights is a symbol of peace between humans and demons in String God City.
However, no matter how it shines, the darkness cannot completely disappear from the city at night.
"--Could you please play with me? and us. ”
It's a park on a deserted night, and when drunk men walk through this lookout path overlooking the sea, they are suddenly stopped by a voice.
Under the dimly lit street lamp, a girl stood.
It was a blue-haired, short-bodied girl.
The color of the pupils is a pale blue, and although the whole body is covered with a knee-length cloak jacket, it seems that there is nothing underneath, because the girl's feet are barefoot.
"What, hey? Seducing a man in such a place? ”
"Cut...... It's still a little ghost. ”
The two men looked at each other and said with a sloppy expression. The reason why I casually approached her as if I was being guided was because she had a strange beauty.
Transparent white skin, round pupils, and a completely symmetrical face.
Somewhere lacking the atmosphere of being a creature.,A fairy-like girl.。
"Do you know that we are demons and still say this? Little sister. ”
"Stop us in a place like this, and don't think that just a 'joke' is over. We are in a bad mood today. Especially for women's imps. ”
The men said as they approached the girl as if they were wrapping them left and right. Both of them are in their twenties, with brown hair and a black suit like a cowherd, exuding a frizzy atmosphere.
One of the men bared his teeth, revealing his true nature as a demon. He is a Vampire of the D species. Probably because of sexual excitement, it triggered the urge to suck blood.
The other man violently broke off the bracelet embedded in his wrist.
Because of this move, there is nothing to restrain his demonic nature. After taking off his shirt, his muscles bulged, and his brown hair covered his entire back, which was orcification.
"It might be a little scary, but don't blame us."
"If you want to hate, hate the junior high school student who troubled us yesterday."
With excited eyes, the men stared at the girl, but the girl did not change her face. He looked up at the men with a little sad eyes for some reason, and moved his pupils sympathetically. then
"The sleepless street market where the demons are strolling in a dignified manner is simply a cursed declining city, this island."
A calm and mournful voice came from behind the two demons.
They turned their heads in surprise at the ominous aura that appeared without warning.
Standing in the shadow of the trees on the side of the street was a man dressed in priestly robes.
It was a foreigner who shaved his blonde hair short like a military man.
He wears a metal glasses that look like a band.
Probably over 190 tall. Although he was about forty years old, his shoulders bulged so much that he couldn't feel the decline caused by the loss of time.
It was enough for a hard physique, and under his robes, there was a metal armor that protruded slightly. It was the reinforced armored clothing worn by the army's hoplite units. Its sense of majesty can be described as quite strong.
In the man's right hand was a metal half-moon axe. It was a battle axe armed with a huge blade. It was supposed to be quite heavy, but the man could easily carry it in one hand.
"Who, you are. Is it a Demon Attacker? ”
The vampire man asked in a murderous tone.
"If you're watching from the sidelines, you should understand. It was this woman who seduced us first. So there is no reason to be preached at all. Don't get in our way, let me go. ”
The orc-like man also said in a hoarse voice.
And the man in the magic robe looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
"Of course, I understand this. That's why I said, please come and have fun with us. ”
As he spoke, he pointed the tip of his axe at the demon men.
Then the package in his left hand was still in front of the two demon men. It was an elongated sports package, and a cluster of weapons that were unpretentiously filled in the bag. Swords, knives, javelins, axes, bare blades piercing packages into the ground, those were not toys, they were real weapons.
"If you can't fight with your bare hands, then please, pick your favorite weapon. What's wrong? Are you scared, pathetic demons? ”
"Damn old man, dare you underestimate my ......, is it in league with this little ghost?"
The orc man spoke, picking up a sharp sword that had turned into a foot. Werewolves themselves are warlike demons. Driven by the urge to kill, moaning from the depths of his throat bared his teeth.
"Then see me kill you as you wish!"
The ** of the orcs who kicked the ground accelerated with the momentum of an explosion. He swung his sword down with all his might towards the face of the man standing unsuspectingly. However, halfway through the attack, the sword was easily bounced off by the battle axe held by the man. The orc's face contorted in astonishment, and then unleashed repeated slashes. However, the result is the same.
"Is the L species complete? It's fast, but it's too monotonous. ”
"What!?"
"Sure enough, it can't be compared to the official orc soldiers of the Yezhi Empire, it's really sad......"
The reinforcement device under the vestment emits a driving sound similar to that of a beast's roar. Trampled by the muscles that had been amplified to the limit, shattered the road surface and shook the atmosphere. His battle axe flashed through an afterimage, a swift blow that even the orcs couldn't react to.
"Uhh......hh
The orc was slashed from the shoulder to the waist, and its giant body was directly cut away. Shang Wen's blood splattered out, and a smell of blood wafted around him. The sound of bones shattering and flesh being torn alive was delayed for a moment. If it were a human being, it would be a real blow and undoubtedly a spike. Even an orc with a strong vitality is a serious injury to it.
"You, you guy-!"
Staring blankly at his wounded companion, the vampire man roared. Pick up the javelin that has fallen to the ground and throw it at the man.
Although not as good as orcs, vampires are also masters of strange powers. The javelin that had been thrown flew at the man at the speed of a bullet - and he shot it down easily at the moment it was about to pierce his chest.
"Damn...... Who the hell are you! ”
To the vampire's inquiry, the man in the priesthood solemnly replied,
"My name is Ludolus? Oistaha is the annihilator of Lotharingia.
"Teacher Annihilation? Why did the monks of the Church in Western Europe be in such a place? ”
"I have no obligation to answer you."
The vampire man, Cut, smacked his tongue. Black flames erupted from his left foot.
"Kill him for me, Searing Hoof!"
Flames struck the man in the shape of a crooked horse. It was a scorching beast with more than 1,000 degrees Celsius. The atmosphere was shaken by the sun, and the burned ground scorched.
"Oh, I heard that you are the fool who let the beast out on the street, it seems to be true. It's kind of worth looking for you. ”
Then, as if waiting for this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.
Then, with his left hand, the man blocked the beast of flames that burst towards him.
"What-!?"
The vampire man's eyes widened at the completely unanticipated situation. An invisible wall-like thing appeared in front of the man, blocking the demon horse's attack. It was the girl standing next to Teacher Annihilation, who opened a wonderful barrier to protect him.
Blocked by its barriers, the flames of the beast could not reach the man.
But it seems that even the girl's enchantment doesn't seem to have the power to completely bounce the beast away. As if she couldn't bear the intense load, the girl let out a weak breath from her lips.
"Even a beast of this caliber can't completely resist it. It seems that there is still room for improvement. ”
"Hah......!"
The vampire's lips turned up slightly as if boasting of victory. I guess I think that as long as I continue to suppress it like this, I will be able to win.
However, the man in the robe spoke to the girl who had a depressed expression as if he were bored.
"This is the end of tonight's experiment, Astarout"
"Okay, Master Annihilation."
The blue-haired girl known as Astarut closed her eyes silently.
With her cloak fluttering, she spoke in a flat, artificial-like voice.
"The order is promised. Execute it, 'the fingertips of the roses'" (romanized rododaguturos source ......)
As her words fell, something burst out from the gap in her coat.
It was a translucent wrist that shone with gray-white glitter. A wrist that is larger than the slender body of a girl. The wrist that stretched out as if it had burst through the girl's abdomen flew like a snake and pierced through the vampire's beast.
"-Burn Hoof!? What's wrong!? ”
The vampire groaned at the scene he couldn't believe in front of him.
The beast of flames that pierced its body roared in pain. But the attack of that translucent wrist did not stop. Like a beast about to devour the flames, it repeatedly slashed.
"What the hell are you doing......!?"
The beast, unable to maintain the flames of the entity, vanished, and the vampire man sat down on the ground. The man's lips trembled in fear as he lost too much mana.
The man in the robe said lightly,
"To deal with the beasts, as long as you use more powerful beasts to collide, you can defeat them, this is a very simple truth."
"How is that possible...... You say it's a beast......!? ”
Looking at the wrist sticking out of the girl's body, the vampire groaned. (Markne)
