Chapter 41: Sir Romeo
Mankind?
With a meow, a hungry Diggie kicked his hind legs, his flaming claws scratching at his fragile neck.
If the claw is solid this time, it can definitely tear Romeo's major artery and kill him instantly. As a demon, Diggie apparently also treats him as food to be enjoyed.
"Little meow, you're not well~" As if treating a naughty little pet, Romeo's sword didn't pull out, and when he said gentle words, he turned into a phantom and pinched the back of its neck with one hand, lifting it whole.
"You see the encounter between us, is it fate?"
"Bullshit, food!" thought to himself, the black cat ignored his sassy words, and scratched his handsome face with its paws.
But somehow, when the powerful attack hit Romeo in the face, he actually lost all his strength. The claws were retracted, and the soft slam was on his cheek, as if he were coquettish to the shovel officer.
"Isn't it confusing? ”
Still with a smile like a spring breeze, Romeo's handsome face began to distort in the eyes of Di Gee:
It was like an indescribably large mass, crowded into a human head, and then opened like a small container. The flesh inside was a strange thing with a fluid nature, gushing out of the neck, growing bigger and bigger in the air until it obscured the sky.
From this indescribable black object, Diggie seemed to see thousands of faceless creature heads, and as if he saw countless tentacles wriggling in it, and as if there were countless eyes of various sizes staring at him blinking......
It just watched, and for a moment its whole consciousness sank in, and its body was held by his hand and remained motionless.
In a trance, I saw a hideous and indescribable giant mouth, and I was trying to swallow it whole from scratch.
The ears fluttered, a comfortable and beautiful whisper: "Come on, come on. . . Be one with me in the pursuit of eternal chaotic truths."
But at this time, a complex unknown flower pattern on his body shone with a dazzling and profound light. Then an indignant roar sounded: "Naiyalatos!oh~!Brother Naia.... Well....."
It's like waking up from a dream that never wakes up. Diggie's chest rose and fell like a drowning man, and he breathed in the air as its long, narrow cat's eyes looked around.
The place he was in was still that place, the blonde man was still a Terran swordsman, and those inexplicable images just now were an illusion of his own. And he himself is now being held in the arms of Romeo, a few sizes smaller like a pet, and shares it with his teammates who are looking for him:
"Look~ Juliet, what have I found? a lovely monster!" he smiled brightly, lifted Diggie's paw for a while, tugged at its hind legs for a while, and said, "Oh~ this smooth skin, this pliable warm body, are you sure you want to destroy it?"
A hand was also stretched out to its lower abdomen: "Let's see if it's male or female, shall we?"
"Romeo, are you out of your mind?" The female mage didn't think it was cute at all, and the staff in her hand raised the elemental power to gather: "There are monsters on the battlefield, or is it this kind of monster that looks like no threat, are you insulting the wisdom of the mage?"
"Let go of me, Wren!" Juliet felt more and more suspicious about this swordsman teammate, after all, how could someone suddenly disappear and pick up a monster in the middle of a fighting battlefield?
She said that the white-clad priest who had broken free from the persuasion and recited a spell to cleanse the two suspicious heretics.
"Enough!"
But the captain is the captain, I don't know if it's out of fear of startling the snake, or to maintain the stability of the team. The shield warrior provokes anger in his body (Note 1) and puts an end to another contradiction with a deafening roar:
"Calm down, Juliet, let's go back and hand them over to the Inquisition of Light first, and then go to the defensive line, okay?" he said, continuing to take the lead and walk towards the camp.
Seeing that the captain had said this, the grumpy female mage had no choice but to threaten with a sentence of "The Illuminati will sanction you!" and followed.
Romeo, who was holding Diggie behind him, although he also followed them back, had been released by Wren with a light confinement. Looking at the white halo around his neck, he reluctantly said to the white-clothed priest: "I am innocent, really. As for treating your dear comrades-in-arms like cultists?"
"I'm sorry, but I think you're innocent too. After all, I can't believe that the Marandor family will have nobles fleeing to the abyss. Wren shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Old John has said so, what can I do? What if? I believe that the light will prove your innocence, and I look forward to your return to the team, Romeo." ”
"Praise the light, it seems that this is the only way to go. ”
"Or else?"
......
Chatting all the way, Romeo's Diggie in his arms was quite well-behaved. Because it can't move at all, only the eyeball can move in the eye socket. Watching the blonde man who imprisons himself by some means, he is chatting with his teammates about various topics.
It's like looking at a demon in human skin, talking merrily with its food, like a lion sitting with a rabbit—quite out of harmony.
......
In a snow-white medieval town, on the white streets solidified by spells, a black carriage painted with the goddess of light holding a balance motif gallops towards a magnificent castle with a spire.
In the dark compartment, two heavily armed knights of light (Note 2) sat silently on either side of Romeo and watched over him. Of course, poor Diggie in his arms was also guarded.
"Aren't you bored, little devil?"
The abrupt sound echoed in the brain, and the black cat's ears trembled, and he opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound.
"I'm talking to you, little devil. ”
The affectionate magnetic male voice sounded again, and Diggie saw that his body was still not his own, what could he do? He could only struggle to make a final resistance-ignoring him, thinking in his heart, 'Ignore you, you have the ability to eat me!'
"Hehe, they're all demons, how can they do cannibalism?" Romeo said a lie that he didn't believe in as if he knew what it was thinking.
Well, Diggie didn't think about anything at first, keeping his mind blank.
"Don't be so old-fashioned, little one. You have to try to receive, to communicate, to learn. Otherwise, just fighting, killing, eating, sleeping and sleeping, how far can you go?" Romeo sat on his chair with a blank face, his waist straight, like an upright and innocent nobleman, neither humble nor arrogant, waiting for a fair trial.
But like a chatterbox, Transsonic continued: "You know, the world is very big and exciting. Do you dare to say that you have the absolute strength to face whatever comes your way, such as meeting me?"
Fortunately, Diggie didn't know the word 'shameless', and still kept his mind empty.
"Please, I won't eat you, let's talk. You know, in the depths of the endless abyss, there are many demons who want to talk to me, and I am not happy to do it. Do you know who I am?"
After a pause, a faint murmur sounded. In the inexplicable whispering, Diggie's vision suddenly appeared again, some indescribable strange things. They soon vanished, leaving the empty brain domain with a name – 'Yog Sototh (Note 3)'
