Apotheosis Of A Demon – A Monster Evolution Story Chapter 89 (1/2)

89 – THE BRAZEN HEROINE

Marlene? The Heroine who'd su, showing up now of all times?

At theabout that

“…get off” I growled

Being traon that had been fighting together with me, before it was killed by the Heroine

“Haah?! The hell are you talking about?!” She screeched, sla her heels doard

The next instant, the dragons circling in the air let loose a spine-chilling killing intent Another wind dragon dove down to unleash its rage on Marlene It suddenly exploded during its descent, blasting off and crashi+ng on the ground outside the city

What happened?!

During myin a strange stance towardme away dozens of meters

“Tsk, sets are such a trouble to hit,” Marlene spat out She swiftly ja into the end of her staff and once more pointed it at me

That wasn't a staff It was… a ht it to be a staff since it looked different from modern firearms, plus it was made from wood, but on a closer look I could see the resemblance to a rifle

I didn't feelshe'd just stuffed inside the gun was giving off a crazy nal

“…what's that bullet?”

I stood up, getting out of the rubble Marlene scoffed, her unhinged s on her face

“I wouldn't have thought a deot so here? We ic stones that have been coic It can kill even you, Dark bitch!”

As Marlene spoke, she took out another bullet froic from it than the one before

“This is a bullet le shot can kill even a dragon This thing is rateful, aniic stones for nearly ten years for this!”

Seeing the bullet that used to be a dragon e Marlene pointed her gun toward the sky

“No!!” I shouted, i out my hand to squeeze

Marlene shrieked But the Causality attack only bounced off her with a spark, together with so off of her It looked like a talisman

“I've long since prepared for your tricks, rabbit! You're not so scary if I have oats!”

Marlene sly showed off one of her amulets

A ic had she poured into the thing for it to actually be able to defend against me?

“…fight me alone One on one”

“Fine I'll show you the power of a Heroine The power of the Sage!”

I told the dragons to stay back with a glance of un at me

“Why aren't you fighting the Unseelie Lord? Didn't you call it up?”

“…shut up Like hell I can do anything about it by myself”

“Aren't you a Heroine? Don't you have your responsibility?”

“Shut up, shut up!” Marlene shouted in hysterics, unwilling to listen “It's not ht, it's Brian's! It's all because of hi to put all the blame on me, they can't! I just need to kill you by iven They won't do it!”

“…right”

I didn't think her na me, but it looked like to her, the reputation she had as a 'Hero' waselse

Even more important than the lives of others or the fate of this world

I couldn't understand her, but there was one thing I did understand: I couldn't let her insanity be the cause of any

“Die, Dark bitch!!”

Her ed, but the shockwave still blew me several meters away

This was difficult to dodge The blast range ay too big I landed, rolling on the ground, and I threw a large cloud of cold air at Marlene

“You can't hurt me!”

Myelectricity, reun fired off another shot

“Oof!”

“Stop running, rabbit!”

[Marlene] [Race: Hue”]

[Magic Points (MP): 757/800] [Hit Points (HP): 293/300]

[Total Combat Power: 14590]

She wasn't much different in coons with over twenty thousand cole shot Which un must be over twenty thousand

If I assuun itself, then the only other possibility was those ic-stone bullets

Even I would have been hard-pressed if Marlene was firing it at full-auto, but she always stopped to check the results of each shot She was showing a lot of irritation each time she missed

…did she not have much ammo?

If those bullets were ons and similarly powerful monsters, then even if she'd stockpiled them for a decade, I didn't think she'd have that many

And perhaps the same went for her defense

Single-use or not, it was unlikely that she could have an unlimited number of such powerful defensive charms

“What? Have you finally given up, then?”

Marlene was puzzled for astock-still, but she still quickly re-aiers at her in provocation Her eyebrows raised, and she shot at my face

I keptits trajectory, and twisted h to let it pass me by The bullet hit what remained of Soixansept's palace behind me and blew it up

“Wh?! S-stay still, fucking rabbit!”

Marlene shot twice, thrice, all aied them the same way as before: by centimeters

If I made a mistake here, I would be in for a world of hurt Luckily, the speed of bullets was still barely withinfrom

And as I expected, she was a Heroine, not a soldier

When I was fighting with Earth'sexplosive weapons never airound under e

If Marlene started doing that, I'd be in trouble Luckily, she kept shooting high as a result ofher

“damn it, why…”

After several htly as she was about to load the next bullet in
