Chapter 5: Ghoul Beasts

"This must be the area in charge of Soldier 16. How can you only rank 16?" Inelli looked at Isu, and her voice revealed an unconcealable affection.

"During the period before I became a full-fledged fighter, I deliberately hid some of my strength. ”

"To be able to take over the area, to be able to meet that person. Izu's tone was very low, and it was clear that she had not recovered from the blow of Memi's death.

Inelli looked at Aesar meaningfully, and with her experience, she could easily guess what Azuy might have experienced. But she didn't say anything to comfort her, but her brow furrowed slightly.

"That thing. It's coming."

"What is it?" asked Isu subconsciously.

"Something that follows you all the time. I've felt your demonic aura since you entered this town, and the faint demonic thing that trails behind you. ”

"But you know that until now, that thing has been hovering peacefully three thousand meters away from you. Maybe I'm afraid you'll find out. But just now it's starting to come in this direction. ”

"Your demonic perception is weak?"

"Yes. Maybe it's because I'm too strong in demon qi concealment, and my demon qi perception ability is indeed quite weak. Izuy replied with a wry smile, wondering what was following her, but she didn't have the slightest clue.

"That's going to be easy. Inelli chuckled, her right arm vibrated at high speed before she could finish speaking, and the invisible sword cut the leather armor on Isu's body into countless quadrilaterals of the same size and scattered them all over the ground. Then there was not the slightest sign of a sword scratch on the white tight-fitting combat suit that Isune was wearing.

Isu couldn't help but reassess Inriri's strength in shock, it was indeed out of her reach, if she didn't release her demonic power.

"Although I don't know what material this leather armor on your body is made of, it exudes a demonic aura that is not weak, and your own demonic aura is almost non-existent even in my perception. Apparently that thing is following your leather armor and carefully hovering outside of your demonic sense. ”

"So, the organization is sending someone to follow me?" At the moment, it seems that this is the only possibility that is valid, the other fighters I have encountered so far are only wearing white tight-fitting combat uniforms, and I am the only one who is required by the organization to wear this leather armor to carry out the mission.

"Maybe. Let's see what it is. Maybe it's that thing again. Inelli's words fell, and she hurried away in the direction she had come.

Although Isu was puzzled, she kept up with Inriri's pace.

In a few breaths, the two of them had come to the back of a half-collapsed wall crawling with rattan plants, and in the center of the wall were a few finger-thick holes, along which the grass was clearly visible with fragments of leather armor.

"Just stay here. If it's really that thing, their perception of demonic energy won't be too strong, not to mention that with your particularity, I'm afraid they won't be able to find you a hundred meters or so away from you. Innelli said lightly.

"What the hell is it? Is it from the organization?"

"Maybe. I've seen it a few times by accident. Do you see anything?"

"Nothing. "Looking out of the cave entrance, you can only see the peculiar dusk hue of dusk covering the grass and the flaxen-colored shards of leather armor that almost disappear into the grass, everything is so normal, but there seems to be a trace of abnormality in the normal.

"Yes, yes. Inelli glanced down the hole, "Look closely, it's the easiest time for it to show up in the twilight." ”

Izuku became serious. The senses were amplified, and there was indeed a slight "rustling" sound mixed with the sound of the wind whirring like a whispered chant, and it was constantly approaching where the leather armor was.

Half of the roulette sun was already hidden below the horizon, and the dusky hue seemed even darker, a process in which darkness swallowed light, and light was assimilated into darkness.

A very vague outline appears between the faint grass. At first glance it looks like a man on all fours walking on the grass, but the two forearms seem to be unusually thick, the back is high and should be a clump of hair, the lower jaw of the face protrudes forward, and the mouth that occupies almost half of the face is covered with fangs, and mucus drips from the tips of the teeth from time to time. However, his eyes turned out to be a strange pupil color mixed with gold and silver!

"What the hell is this!" Rao is Isu, who has been trained in various organizations and has killed countless demons, can't help but feel a little disgusted.

"I call this thing a ghoul beast, and it's supposed to be in the organization. Generally acts with the black robe, the black robe collects money, and it is responsible for cleaning up the corpse of the demon. ”

"It's about cleaning up, but it's actually eating the corpse. Inniri's tone did not change in the slightest, and it was still indifferent.

"It is characterized by the fact that it seems to be able to hide itself during the day and night, and it is easiest to appear in the twilight between day and night. It is estimated that the combat effectiveness will not be too strong, and even if there is combat effectiveness, the form of attack is estimated to be mainly sneak attack, and I am afraid that there will be no way to have a strong ability to perceive demonic energy. ”

"But the one that tracks you seems to be a little different from what I'm used to. It's probably a lot stronger. ”

The ghoul was circling around the shards of its leather armor, not arching its nose into the grass, perhaps trying to find some clues about Ysu.

"People...... What about it......!!!" it raised to the sky and let out a low roar, "for...... Miscellaneous...... What...... Join...... Corpse...... Body...... All...... Not...... There are !!"

"You're really coming at me. ”

Inelli patted Azu's shoulder, which made Asuy relax a lot. "It's okay, maybe it's just that the organization doesn't want to lose you. "As long as it is a useful tool, the organization will not give up easily, after all, the consumption of fighters is too fast.

The ghoul wandered between the meadows for a few moments, heading in the direction of the two.

"?" Izuku gestured with her eyes.

"I just don't want to let go of the corpses of the five demons I killed earlier. As Innelli had said, the ghoul didn't notice the two behind the wall at all, and walked straight into the distance. Soon after, "Gollum...... The snoring" seemed to be hungry for more than ten days, and after seeing a delicious food, the sound of frantic swallowing spread in the air.

However, knowing that it was eating the corpse of a demon, Izu only felt a churn in her stomach.

"That's right. Izu Imp. It's been ten days since the village was commissioned, and I don't think there are any warriors to deal with it before I have to do it. ”

"What the hell is going on, the person you want to seeβ€”what's going on?"

This is a hurdle, whether it is a relative or a best friend, I am afraid it will have a great impact on her, and she wants to meet the existence at all costs. However, what the organization wants is an obedient tool that has no concern, and there must be something wrong with this.

I saw Isu biting her lower lip tightly, her fists clenched white, obviously suppressing her emotions.

"It started a long time ago......"
