"Senior! He's—"

"I know!"

The ancient city nodded back to Yukina without confusion.

At this time, Tenzuka is neither an alchemist who is a human being, nor a demon who has far superior human ** or power, at this time, he is just an ugly monster who can't communicate with words. If the ancient city continues to let him go like this, it will definitely cause immeasurable disasters!

Therefore, the ancient city can only destroy the Tenzuka here!

Yes, this is the obligation of the ancient city that protects the glory of all people even in the depths of darkness, and the ancient city that has obtained the cursed power of the world's strongest vampire, the Fourth True Ancestor!

"Gallop here, 'Mercury of the Dragon Serpent'!"

Blood spurted from the raised hands of the ancient city. The blood shook gently like a flame, changing into the posture of a giant beast. It was the Fourth True Ancestor who served in his own blood, the third of the twelve beasts.

A two-headed dragon covered in mercury scales.

"Oh...... Oh...... oooooo……』

The pitch-black flowing body that used to be the Tenzuka stretched out its huge tentacles and stabbed at the two-headed dragon.

But the silver-colored beast didn't mind. Slowly swinging its flowing snake body, it opens its massive jaws and swallows the attack whole. Wipe it out without a trace.

This is the third beast of the Fourth True Ancestor, the Dimensional Devourer. A beast that can devour all dimensional spaces and wipe them out of the world!

『ooooooooooooo……！』

Whether it is the immortal ** of fusion and proliferation, or the regeneration ability, they are all powerless in the face of the attack of the two-headed dragon.

Convinced that it will be defeated, the pitch-black mobile body separates itself and wants to escape. But

"-Eat it all, 'the mercury of the dragon snake'!"

The two huge jaws that descended, swallowing the split fluid, wiped it out.

In the end, all that's left is the ruined park, and the shattered black gems.

Forcibly dismissing the summons of the two-headed dragon, who was dissatisfied because he hadn't made enough trouble, the ancient city let out a long sigh.

"Is it over...... Now ......"

Looking down at the gem fragment where Tenzuka had finally ended, the ancient city muttered weakly.

Yukina looked at the ancient city standing in the sunset without a word.

Killed the alchemist who had turned into an alien. However, this was not the desired outcome.

In the end, he still couldn't understand what Amazuka wanted to do.

And one day, alchemists are people whose ultimate goal is to become 'gods', so they also have a wooden form that can resurrect humans!

If you can get that, you'll be able to resurrect shallots. Yes, from the very beginning, the ancient city just wanted to defeat Tenzuka and force him to confess his wooden form that could resurrect humans, but today, it is impossible for the mound to be resurrected!

That also means that the shallots can't be resurrected!

However, there is still a glimmer of hope in the heart of the ancient city, that is, if Kain, who is cursed by the earth, can get the power to protect himself from the island of the string gods, then can he get the power to resurrect himself?

Although the ancient city knew that it was impossible, he still didn't want to let this last glimmer of hope be dashed!

"Ancient ...... City......? ”

At this time, a familiar voice was heard, and the silent Guru and Yukina turned their heads like a nerve reflex.

On the rubble-strewn road, a gorgeous high school girl is sitting up awkwardly.

"Ah......h Wow!? What the hell is this, what the hell is going on!? ”

Looking down at the tattered uniform and bloodstained hands, she let out an unseemly scream.

Looking at her untense appearance, Guru and Yukina couldn't say a word.

There's no way she's still alive. You don't need to stand next to you to confirm it, you should have stopped breathing and your pulse. Because her body had just been brutally slashed and sunk in a pool of blood.

It's impossible for an ordinary human who is not a vampire to be resurrected from that state.

However, she was resurrected!

Yes, the cursed Cain really gained the power to resurrect himself.

"Wow, wow, wow, what's going on!?"

The shallot, who stood up, shouted after noticing the tragic situation around him.

Collapsed monastic buildings. Destroyed parks. Sunken roads. She would be surprised by this, but she could not understand it.

However, it is not known whether she will believe it. Just now, she herself was part of this devastated landscape.

"What's going on, what the hell is this......"

Looking at the shallow onions muttering in the distance, the ancient city finally showed a relaxed expression and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

Looking at the side face of the ancient city, Yukina also had a reassuring expression: "Senior..."

Covered in blood, the shallots stared incredulously at the ancient city laughing loudly.

……

It was not long after a large number of SAR garrisons poured into the ruins of the monastery.

The ancient city they hid behind the park vending machines, waiting for their vehicles to pass by.

Not because of guilt for the SAR Garrison. After all, the battle with Amazuka was a legitimate defense, and Ashalon was still the victim of the incident.

That being said, it would undoubtedly be a nuisance if they found out. Guru is an unlogged vampire, and Yukina is his watchman. In addition, the shallots have just been resurrected, and they are still bloodstained all over their bodies. If they are caught in this state, they don't feel that they can be easily released. I can only bow my head to that moon afterwards, and ask her to deal with it well.

Fortunately, they didn't notice their existence in the ancient city, and the three of them finally left the park safely. It just so happened that the streets were surrounded by twilight, and the tattered costumes of the shallots didn't seem too noticeable.

"An alchemist in the shape of a red and white checker?"

On the way, while paying attention to the bloodstained hair, he answered the questions of the ancient city while being shalloted.

"Ahh......h That's an alchemist. I thought it was an unfamous artist. And then there seems to be a slimy mercury monster - where have they gone? ”

"It is said that after confronting a nearby vampire, he was killed!"

"Huh?"

Regardless of Ashalion's doubts, the ancient city's head was thinking quickly, if it was inferred from the testimony that Ashalon said, then what she encountered was probably the Tenzuka that still retained its human form, then the 'so-called slimy monster' she saw should be another 'unknown lifeform' like him!

"When we arrived, we were already in this state. So, the details aren't clear," Yukina replied to the contemplative Guru.

“…… Yes. Generally speaking, the SAR Garrison did it. ”

Of course, of course, shallots simply accepted it.

She didn't know that the ancient city had become a vampire, it wasn't that the shallots were too dull, but that the ancient city itself was an unconventional existence. Five months ago, he was just an ordinary human, but now he is the strongest vampire in the world, the Fourth True Ancestor!

This kind of thing is simply impossible in the eyes of ordinary people. Yes, they will always deny things that they cannot understand or believe, and thus think that they are nothing more than paranormal phenomena such as rumors.

Because I couldn't believe it, I denied its existence. And the ancient city is only denied by people because they cannot understand and accept it.

Therefore, the days of knowing the ancient city for a long time have instead become a blind spot for the shallow onion and not knowing that he is the fourth true ancestor.

"More than that, I care a lot about why you were able to bring the dead back to life."

Although Caine is a being cursed by the earth, it is really more amazing than I imagined that it can be changed from the island of the string god far away from the mainland to the wooden type that shelters itself, and even can be resurrected!

I used to think that the shallow onion was blessed because he was sheltered so he would always be lucky not to die, but he never thought that he could survive even if he died!

"How can it be okay! You see, these. Not only the uniforms but also the underwear were split in half...... No, it doesn't count! Don't look at it! ”

wanted to claim that the uniform was tattered shallots, and after blowing himself up by himself, he made a big fuss. That's exactly the same as the usual blue feather shallots.

It seems that even if she died once, it didn't affect her in any way. Gu Gu thought without scruples in his heart.

"I'm worried about you, I'm such an idiot!"

Yukina nodded in agreement.

"Yes. However, I think it's better to go to the hospital for a check-up just in case. ”

"I think so, but the question is how to explain it to the doctor."

"Wow, it's a hassle just to think about. Besides, if I die, it's just that you are wrong about the ancient city, right? ”

Shallot pouted dissatisfiedly. Since I don't have the consciousness to come back to life, I don't want to do something troublesome.

"I think you're okay, but I really want the doctor to investigate your body!"

“…… Ahh The mother of the old city is from the research institute of Mar. ”

The shallots softened their attitude slightly. Hmm~, cross your hands over your chest and think about it.

"It's better to diagnose someone else than to do that. And it's been a long time since I've seen Aunt Fukamori. ”

"In that case, I'll accompany you to the institute."

"Well, excuse me. I'll leave it here. ”

Facing them in the ancient city waiting for the signal light, Yukina bowed her head politely.

"Go back to the antique shop?"

"Yes. I will report to the master and ask her to contact the SAR Garrison. And the Shikigami stored here is also broken. ”

Yukina whispered in a voice that she didn't let Shallot hear.

The ancient city clapped his hands together in apologies. The reason why the Shikigami in the shape of Saya Hua was broken was the result of the magic power that caused the ancient city to lose its selflessness and anger. Breaking the rare and delicate Shikikami, Yukina's master is likely to be angry.

"Thank you, that's a great help! However, there shouldn't be a punishment game. ”

"No, I don't know. After all, the one was very moody. ”

Yukina shook her head with a stiff expression.

Although it was the ancient city that directly destroyed the Shikigami, maybe she would also be jointly and severally responsible. It was like imagining myself in that shy uniform and being timid about it.

Then, Yukina changed her serious eyes and looked up at the ancient city.

"Senior...... That, is that okay? ”

"Huh?"

"At that time, seniors, if I hadn't put the mercury in the sky...... No, if I hadn't destroyed that monster, I'd probably have been killed. So ......"

Looking back at Yukina, who was full of uneasiness, the ancient city smiled quietly.

Despite advocating legitimate defense, it is a fact that the ancient city killed the Tenzuka. This incident turned into a heavy shadow of melted lead in my heart. And Yukina noticed the shaking of the ancient city's heart.

However, the ancient city, on the other hand, was surprised by its own wonderful calmness.

"Didn't you say that I won't let anyone die, this is conceit, but also a promise!"

Guru said, gently placing his hand on Yukina's head.
