Among the black cherry blossoms in the sky, claws that burned with black flames creaked out of the flames, even bigger and more hideous than the previous claws.

It was like an ancient tree pulling up its roots.

Just as in the illusion, Russell held the hand of the "Delphinium".

His hideous claws of karmic fire also clung tightly to the spears of vines that pierced him.

They were supposed to be plants, but now they made a miserable squeak, like rats that have been scalded.

It wasn't a burning – it was swallowing.

The vines were scorched, becoming pitch black, hard, and then dark red like ashes.

The "budding lovers" are violently frightened by this.

It let out a terrible scream for no apparent reason, giving up the vines that had come into contact with Russell.

Countless bright red juices burst out of the broken mouth like blood. Cutting off a part of itself, which makes it incredibly weak.

But it's right.

The vines were slowly sucked in by the flames, making a terrifying crunching sound.

Through the perspective of those vines, the "budding lovers" finally barely understood the essence of this flame -

The flame did not burn in the void, but like a ball of alcohol burning with flames.

In the midst of the flames, there was a vague and hazy mist.

Stimulated by strong emotion, it suddenly began to emit a faint yellow glow.

…… What's that?

What kind of monster is that?!

Just by coming into contact with Russell's essence through the "severed limb", through his own abandoned ontology, the budged lovers felt a kind of fear from the source.

It emitted a high-pitched hissing sound that only demons could understand.

In the fierce and violent cry, it was full of hesitation, confusion and fear:

This...... Is this human?

How can this be human?

Impossible, impossible, never, never, never, never, never, never, denial, refusal, ahh

On the other hand, after devouring a part of a complete and ancient demon, Russell in the form of flames began to further alienate from his initial appearance.

There is one more vertical pupil than the previous one - two vertical pupils that flow like liquid gold, which are the only real organs that Russell is exposed and related to the appearance of "Russell".

But it is not completely true, but a representation of the previous condensation of the source of the holy rank that was hammered into Russell's body with the forging of the end of the country.

He has a hideous appearance like a shadow demon-

With the continuous investment of emotions such as "love", "hope", "mission", and "reason", which are "impurities" relative to anger, Russell's anger has turned into a pure black karmic fire.

The flames burned his soul and made up his flesh and blood. It has no legs, and from below the "heart" is a cloud of smoke and nothingness.

The dark red metal thorns were roughly constructed into his bones and skin.

- It was the "wedge of pain" that hatched from his body.

Instead of devouring the angels, it devoured the demons - which made its appearance less sacred and rational, but full of the chaos and deformity unique to demons.

Russell only felt his consciousness drift lightly.

The anger that burned reason seemed to disappear in an instant.

It's like drinking too much, and it's like a dream. He even stepped on the cotton, and everything in front of him was covered with an unreal filter.

Russell seems to have arrived at the restaurant where he had his first meal with Delphinium.

The delphinium chuckled and sat down across from her.

Countless cyan flames turned into birds, crashing into the "Bud Lovers" who wanted to escape, dragging the demons who were clearly in a state of confusion into a separate space with only blue alone.

It's still looking around.

- It forms one of the two roses in the "head", which is suddenly pierced by black thorns.

"Here, I'll give you this. This is the best meat. ”

With a pleasant smile on her mouth, the delphinium took a piece of meat and handed it to Russell's mouth.

Russell took the piece of meat in his mouth and chewed happily.

- followed by another, and then its entire body was densely pierced by steel thorns burning with black flames. It's exactly the same as it had been with Alice before.

The black flames burned and spread, and it let out a terrible rat-like scream.

"And this, try it too. It's rare to have such fresh meat. ”

The delphinium held her chin with one hand, and with the other hand, she picked up the roasted beef tongue and fed it to Russell: "It's all for you, don't be angry." ”

"I'm not angry......"

Russell, who was fed, only felt happiness and said something inexplicable.

- The frightened demon tried to resist, but was pinned to his spine by endless pain.

It was slowly dragged into Russell's chest.

A scalp-tingling crunching sound sounded.

"I can't eat it, I really can't eat it......"

Russell begged for mercy: "You can eat some too." I'm really full...... Or is this some kind of punishment game? ”

"If you can't eat it, you won't eat it, and if you eat too much, it will hurt your body."

"Delphinch" chuckled.

The next moment, the illusion in front of me gradually faded away.

With the anger that had subsided returned, Russell's consciousness became clear again. It's like a person who has drunk too much and suddenly wakes up, and is pulled back from that place far away from the world in an instant, and the things he dreamed about begin to quickly forget.

He noticed that he had turned back into a human body, only the black flames still burning in his fingertips.

This should be the compensation after being completely enraged this time...... The flame he summoned from his heart was beyond the realm of "furnace fire".

For the first time, he was so serious, so furious. Even Russell himself was taken aback.

He used to be angry, too......

And the demon in the ultramarine enchantment that was still imprisoned in front of him in the "caged bird" was left with only a broken thorn.

The two roses on its head had been completely burned out, and had lost their vitality and were gradually beginning to dissipate on the ground.

— but for some reason, it gave Russell a sense of "relief."

Russell, who was inexplicably relieved, glanced at it indifferently.

And the demon curled up in fear, squeaking and screaming.

In order to prevent it from harming a new host, Russell has been standing in the enchantment of the caged bird.

When the demon had completely dissipated and turned to ashes, he revoked the caged bird's enchantment.

The whole villa has been smoked to pitch black. All furniture and collections are scrapped.

The gardens were gone, and the surviving neighbors had woken up and fled in fear.

Russell was left alone, standing in the midst of the huge villa, which had been reduced to ruins.

…… The incident can be considered settled.

But a subtle feeling of nausea as if eating durian still lingered between Russell's lips and teeth.

At this time, the vessel of the gods, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared behind Russell with a smile in the posture of Alice again.

"I thought you'd want to imitate it. After all, its psionic energy is indeed very strong. ”

"Don't make this joke, it's a little disgusting."

Russell sighed: "Yes, yes, but if you don't want to, you don't want to......

"I just can't have such selfish love. It makes me sick to my stomach...... Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. No, it seems to be a bit sick to my stomach......"

"Got a bad stomach?"

"Tsk...... There must be a problem with the dinner I bought on a bad day. ”

Under the setting sun, the clouds burn like fire.

Russell was alone, talking to himself, and went away lively: "You have to punch him hard when you go back." ”

There was no door to the villa, so he had to find another place to rush back.

I couldn't catch the demon alive, and it seems that this month's bonus will have to be reimbursed again.

- But perhaps, it would be better if this psionic energy was not used by the company.

The most gratifying news for Delphinium is that the innocent girl who was manipulated by psionic energy to jump off the building will not appear again.

When you get back, tell her the good news at her bedside.

------Off topic------

It's a bit of a cardin, so today's update is a bit late!

But it was still written satisfactorily (chest up)

Tomorrow there will be two chapters of sugar for Delphinium to wake up, and then this volume will end to provoke~
