436 432. Make a crazy decision Crazy fall.txt (1/2)

Even the most powerful 'Fiend', the renowned Seldra Queen Fillion, was hardened.

That fact showed the danger of the 'Blood Demon Beast' in a simple way.

That was a product of the Research Institute a thousand years ago, and everyone spoke of it as 'outcasts'.

Even if it was as lovable as a pet to me, to a decent creature, it would be the exact opposite. Just by looking at them, my body trembles as I am exposed to a vindictive emotion that is too thick.

The natural enemy of those living beings was now trying to grab the most recent quunnel with its deformed arm (or so it seemed).

The moment I understood the situation, my body was in motion.

As a staff member, is it a sense of duty to protect the customer? Or was it another sense of justice? I slammed my body into Kounel and fell to the ground in an entangled mess.

Then, as he quickly looked up to move on to his next action -

Distance mute.

I could see Kanami's back.

She had already finished thrusting that purple, pale glowing arm into the 'Blood Demon Beast'.

By creating a 'connection' with the soul and sharing its life, it would reduce the opponent's will to fight without question.

The surprise attack made me break out in a cold sweat, but this was a relief - and it was only for a short time that I thought so.

After a few moments of silence, Kanami's panicked voice resounds.

''Kuku ......!　We are one soul, but we are not alone. ......!　I knew you were attached to it: ......!

He turned his gaze to me as if to confirm, and I quickly nodded back.

As you may have guessed, this 'Blood Demon Beast' was one of the failed works I saw when I 'looked past' my life.

In an attempt to create something that would steal the logic of the soul, the researchers surgically connected the ”monsters” that had undergone endurance and modification experiments and played with them over and over again, and as a result, they were born into this world.

There is probably no other existence that has been artificially complicated like this in the soul.

No matter how much of a Kanami - no, it's precisely because they make a 'connection' with their souls that they are at a disadvantage when dealing with this 'blood demon beast'.

Having intuitively understood this, I hurriedly threw a reunion greeting to that familiar friend.

''-- Everyone (...)!

I could communicate with them.

I had that confidence.

Since I can't talk to Kounel, Serdra and the others, there would be no point in me being here if I wasn't useful. I appealed to my 'blood puppet' with a quiver in my own 'blood puppet' throat, trying to talk to him again in a friendly manner, just like a thousand years ago.

Its voice is reachable.

I don't know where the organ responsible for hearing is located, but my eyeballs moved in unison in response to the call.

Giddy.

They catch sight of me again and stop.

It was a familiar gaze.

I'm sure the reason it stopped now was because it was able to recognize me as me.

Unlike the hastily created 'connection' with the Saviour there, I feel a strong bond from the 'Blood Demon Beast' that hasn't changed even after the passage of a thousand years.

Ah. The feeling of nostalgia intensifies.

Not only the environment and smells, but being able to reunite with my old friends as well, my heart is filled with emotion.

I even felt as if tears were suddenly welling up with nostalgia.

'There's something I want to tell you: ....... There is something I really need to tell you guys--'

My mouth was moving on its own, as well as my tear glands.

There is so much I want to talk about in celebration of our reunion. I couldn't stop the thoughts and words from pouring out of this throat.

Naturally, my feet were also headed to hug the 'Blood Demon Beasts'.

However, on the way to do so--

”------!　---------- ... Phew!

It was a thin, inarticulate voice.

It wasn't Kanami or me.

I could tell from the scene in front of me that it was the voice of the ”Blood Demon Beast”.

All of the countless eyeballs were trembling in small increments.

The entire body was being used as a vocal organ, emitting an awkward but voice-like sound.

It's common for failures and 'blood monsters' to have no throat.

I'm used to all sorts of things, and I get even closer, trying to have a conversation with the 'Blood Demon Beast'

--But I was the only one who wanted to have a conversation with him.

The ”Blood Monster” looked at me, trembling and expanding its volume again.

It was as if it was pumping blood from underneath my feet, making my eyeballs grow and increase one after another like fruit. The number of eyes finally exceeded a hundred. In addition, the trunk, which serves as its limbs, also began to split apart, and the minimal human form of ”two arms and two legs” also crumbled.

Following that, its many red, thin arms wavered in the air like smoke.

The tips of the arms were sharp like blades - suddenly, my vision was filled with countless dots.

It was that the tip of the 'Blood Demon Beast''s wavering arm was pointed at me.

By the time I understood, the countless dots had already grown in size.

In an attempt to make me full of holes, the needle mountain approached me--

”'Rowen,'

Kanami muttered that, and before he knew it, he was standing in front of me.

Furthermore, all of the countless trunks had also been cut into fine pieces.

From the fact that a beautiful sword was held in the hand of the standing Kanami, it could be seen that he had solved the problem with 'swordsmanship'. However, how he wielded the sword in this small hut was not visible.

''------ ts!!!''

The 'Blood Demon Beast' trembled and squealed.

To be honest, it was a bit of a shock that he refused to talk to me and attacked me.

But I guess it can't be helped.

Before Kanami made me ”Distance Mute”, I was also going around attacking the living, just like the current ”Blood Monster”. So I sorted myself out, saying that this was unavoidable ......, but unlike me, there were some who didn't have the luxury of time at all.

'----?　Shut up!

It was Seldra in the corner of the room, trying to spread out one wing with a partial 'dragonization'.

Her eyes were glowing red and she looked as if she was in a rage.

''It's at its limit!　-- 'Dragon Wind', crush that thing!

He flapped his wings.

As a result, a blast occurs inside the hut.

Of course, it was a controlled wind, attacking only the 'Blood Demon Beast' as if it had a will. But in this too small space, it was far too enormous a wind.

When I recognized it as tasteless, my vision turned black.

The wind entered my eyes and closed my eyelids (a slightly unreliable membrane of flesh to say the least).

Then the sound of the wood and dirt that the hut is made of being destroyed.

It was, indeed, an explosion and an explosion.

The impact was more than enough to put me in the same defensive stance as the quunnel at my feet as soon as it hit me.

After the shock of the slap on my back passed, my ears were ringing in my head.

Surprisingly, being a 'blood puppet' is no different from being a human, I was a little disappointed, so I raised my bent body and opened my eyelids to check out my surroundings.

The hut we were in had burst like a balloon with too much air in it, and we had all been forced outdoors. And the red city was in shambles, as if it had been hit by a disaster such as a typhoon or an earthquake. Massive amounts of debris that seemed to be the remnants of buildings were floating in the shallow water of blood.

The 'safe zone' that Kounel had created had collapsed.

There were only two people standing in the city with a better view of the city.

Kanami, who was at the center of the explosion but unharmed, holding her sword at the ready.

Serdra, the one who had caused the explosion.

Unlike the scene he had seen before the explosion, Serdra's right arm had also been partially 'dragonized'.

And it raised its arm, which was enlarged to three times its size, and supported the bottom of the bed with the palm of its hand. In that bed, the Sith was still sleeping adorably. ...... I was sure of it, but this guy. He's the type of person who, once he's slept soundly, has a hard time waking people up.

There was a lot to say, but successfully Serdra protected her friends and fought off the 'Blood Demon Beast'.

That was what the scene looked like.

However, the reality seems to be different, and Serdra continues to stare at the surface of the blood with grim eyes.

It's the remnants of the 'Blood Demon Beast' mixed in with the floating debris.

Its scattered eyeballs gyrated again.

Then, as if repeating the scene just before, the eyeballs split apart again.

With supernormal speed, the demon grapes grew.

Moreover, the scattered eyeballs were used as seeds, and in each place--

I took a quick look and saw that about thirty new 'Blood Demon Beasts' were about to grow around us.

''So this is just what happens when you defeat them halfway through ......?''

Even as the threat orders of magnitude tried to increase, Serdra remained calm.

The splintering monster looked like it was used to fighting and was about to move on to its next attack.

But before they could do so, the party leader shouted to stop them.

''Serdra!　'Fear'?!

The words Kanami uttered were two letters in an otherworldly language.

It doesn't mean what it is.

The appearance of the horrific 'Blood Demon Beast' stimulates the creatures' survival instincts to a bizarre degree.

Even if you're used to seeing any more deformities, there's no question.

It's as if it's the reason for the world, making the opponents fall into ”fear”.

Some researchers rejoiced at that phenomenon as ”the world's first artificial 'curse'”.

However, Serdra had easily overcome it.

'I'm getting used to this 'horror' (・・・・・・・・・). ...... I've already tasted it a few times, you know. Unlike before, it's partly because I prepped a lot of stuff in the 'Other World' books.

Even just one ”Blood Demon Beast” could turn an entire city into a sea of blood in a single night.

An ordinary person would go crazy at the first sight and scream to death.

It seems that they have gotten used to that ”fear”.

Hearing that, Kanami seemed relieved and took a breath.

The two of them also checked each other's next moves before the 'Blood Demon Beasts' limbs were fully grown.

''So, what do you want to do with this guy from now on?　Our leader.

''I feel like the amount of things that Seldora has divided us up has diluted things. This time, the ”Distance Mute” might pass. To this 'Blood Demon Beast': ......

Kanami glanced at me.

Apparently, she's going to officially adopt the name I've decided on.

''This guy is called 'Blood Demon Beast'?　In any case, I don't recommend it. As a former commander-in-chief, I would advise you. Obviously, this is a development that was not in our prior 'future vision'. You shouldn't do that.

No, this future didn't exist at all. So I don't want to give up on it yet. ...... I want Serdra to continue to protect Kounel and the others.

...... We will follow the instructions of our leader.

After a hesitation, Serdra nodded.

She was clearly unhappy that her own advice had been ignored.

''Thank you for the advice, Serdra. But if I retreat here, I will surely 'regret' it later. So--

So, I'll do my best (・・・・・・).

With a look of determination, Kanami put the beautiful sword in her hand into her own body as if she was putting it back into its sheath.

At that time, the thirty 'Blood Demon Beasts' in the surrounding area had already completed their limbs and started to move.

Immediately, Serdra leaped to my side with her strong legs, holding up the bed and leaping to my side with her mighty legs.

''--'Hitaki.''

And Kanami didn't move to be a decoy, but uttered the name in a small voice.

It was 'Chanting' to use 'Thread' instead of 'Sword'.

Once, Hitaki created a magical 'snowfield' in the garden of Hoozeyer's Castle a thousand years ago by swirling the 'White Thread' like a stream of water.

In the same way, the purple thread extends from Kanami's knees.

A dark purple line was carved into the bright red water surface.

It was as swift as a rush of lightning, spiderweb-like - no, it grew as if it were to make a crack in the Blood Land. Perhaps because of the coloration, it seemed a little more disastrous than the original.

Unlike the Hitaki, it's probably a matter of quantity that doesn't allow it to leisurely swirl around.

It's a degraded version of the 'thread' that has been forged for two months, but Kanami still seems to be trying to keep the number of threads to a minimum.

The 'Blood Demon Beasts' who touched that 'Purple Thread' made their bodies jump.

''-- 《Distance Mute》''

The moment the ”connection” was made by the ”massless nerves”, the example foul magic crawled out.

The ”Blood Demon Beasts” sensed the intrusion of the enemy's magic and all at once pointed their eyes at Kanami.

However, it seems that they bypassed that Kanami at that time, and looked into his eyes and looked into his eyes.

Just like with me, the 'Blood Demon Beasts' stiffened in front of those absorbing eyes.

''----?''

The 'Blood Demon Beasts' were clearly upset and slowed down.

Even though they knew that they should attack the Purple Thread Surgeon Kanami as soon as possible, their steps were slow, awkward and weak, as if they were wearing thick armor.

Nevertheless, the 'Blood Demon Beasts' managed to summon up their courage and raised their arms and tried to pierce Kanami with their red thin arms.

But it was too late.

It was too late against an enemy that should have been spared even a moment's time.

Just before that sharp point reached Kanami - the arm lost its shape like a burning paper, spewing out a mist of blood.

The red limbs of the nearby 'Blood Demon Beast' crumbled to pieces, as if they were attacked by rapid aging and weathering.

Naturally, all the eyeballs that had been growing on its body also fell into the shallows of blood.

Watching the scene, Kanami speaks softly and warmly, as if in prayer.

''A little soul mixed and distorted ...... but it doesn't change anything. I know, because I'm the same way. Your souls aren't any different from ours--

It was as if he completely understood the 'Blood Demon Beasts' in front of him.

If spoken by an ordinary person, it would sound like an arrogant ”superior view”.
