Chapter 203 - Volume 9 (2/2)

“What!?”

“Maybe it’s just a piece of equipment to counter the Heroes party. Well, that’s not all, though, is it?”

Both Rick and Noel seemed to be unconsciously using the aura of light to strengthen their weapons and armor, but the weapons then turned into ‘magic swords’. So on the contrary, it weakened its power.

‘I can feel the power of the spirits from that armor, although it’s only a little. You’ve made quite a nasty one.’

The reason I stepped on it with Hippo-kun was to shatter the armor quickly. More importantly, the real purpose of this armor was to protect the things inside from the light attribute.

When I noticed it.

“… 『Let There Be light』…”

When I used the [Holy Light] sacred magic, something like black tentacles popped out of the black knight’s mouth and ears, it got burned by the light and disappeared.

“Why is the Southern Army using the [Lower Devil]?”

“………”

The last black knight stumbled back at my question and intimidation.

Those black knights were possessed by a low-grade demon. It’s already at the level where they are fused together.

Deliberate possession experiments on the person of a demon were taboo. To begin with, it’s not allowed in the Saint Country, and the reason it’s forbidden was because you have to destroy the person’s spirit and cripple them in order to possess them.

These black knights already had their souls eaten by demons, so the best mercy would be to defeat them instantly.

You don’t actually think you can get away from us, do you? I’m afraid you have a lot to tell me. Catching up to him, Nia and Tina turned to the side of the Black Knight to block his retreat.

“……It’s true that you are the biggest obstacle……”

“Who told you that?”

“We’re going to have to kill you here for him.”

“How are you going to do that?”

I sensed more than one presence.This guy– he’s been altered in some way.

“That… I’ll do it in exchange for my soul!”

As the black knight swallowed something jewel-like, his body began to expand grotesquely.

“Yurushia, go down!”

“Hmm. Tina, Nia, protect my great-uncle.”

“”Hah!””

Rick and Noel stepped forward to protect me and the squires evacuated my great-uncle.

In front of our eyes, the former black knight fused with the black armor and transformed into a fish-like object with black animal skin and scaled wings.

Oh, that’s not good. It’s more than taboo. It is forbidden.

“Get ready to get serious, both of you. Don’t let your guard down even a little bit.”

“Rushia…?”

“… Do you know what this is?”

“Maybe……”

The thing that ceased to be human let out a scream…… A scream that could not be of a creature of this world.

“…… Spirits and Demon Chimera…..”
