164 164 "White onslaught again" (2/2)

But it wasn't aimed at the man in front of me, Mr. Ferrido.

! What

A sword shot out in a strange direction.

The very egg that had just come from the top of the killer plant.

It was aimed at the branch supporting it.

By the time Tsurugi realized her aim, it was too late, and her flash of her sword slices through the branch that was supporting the egg, and the egg, which has lost its support, begins its free fall just like an apple falling from a tree branch.

The egg!

”Huh?

Before Lily and I can scream, Mr. Fayed makes a full sprint for the egg.

And before the egg reaches the ground, Mr. Fayed catches it in mid-air, and it's safely out of the way.

But that small window of opportunity was enough for Turugi to make his next move.

I'll take it.

Instantly transitioning in front of me and Lily, Tsurugi-san.

That's right!　You want this!

Turugi secretly observes that Felido has asked me to grow Bahamut, and then distracts Felido by cutting off the eggs just before Bahamut is born.

He then uses that brief window of time to kill Luna.

It's a bit of a ploy, to be sure, but it's the only way to get rid of Mr. Faredo.

He's too far away from where we are, and he needs a few seconds to get to us.

To buy a few seconds of time, Lily attacked Tsurugi in front of us.

Even though the attack doesn't work, I'm sure Lily will still be able to hold it together!

I'll only be able to help, but I'll take a stand to protect Luna behind her, holding her in my arms to protect her from Tsurugi's attacks, even if only slightly.

!　Oh, hey!　Hey, come on, Keogh!

Luna, who looked impatient at the unexpected hug and panicked.

Uh-huh. I understand, this is not a dirty thing to do, I'm trying to protect you in my own way, but please bear with me.

By the way, Rock, who is right next to me, was also hugging Luna, trying to protect her.

Or maybe he was just imitating me and hugged her: .......

In the meantime, Tsurugi immediately faced an unstoppable barrage of attacks from the beast-formed Lily, who was concentrating on avoiding the attacks by refraction of dimensions.

Even though he is a brave man who manipulates space, if he moved to attack before such a continuous attack, he himself would be attacked in that split second.

Lily is doing everything she can just to buy a few seconds.

Just in the meantime, Felid, who has placed the egg on the ground, comes running towards you.

It's not too late!　That was the moment when we were relieved to be saved.

Yes, you're right. If it was just Turugi, you would have won.

”Huh?

The voice came from behind.

From behind Luna, a shadowy, thin man emerges.

A young man with narrow eyes and an eerie smile, as if he were a snake.

The person smiles a thin crescent moon smile and opens his mouth, looking down at me and Luna.

I'll be able to get the most out of it. I'm one of the SS-ranked demons that exist in this world. And this time, I am a collaborator of your hero, Tsurugi-san.
