172 Episode 65: A Long Night Comes (2) (2/2)

When I pointed that out, Al looked disgusted and then zeroed his tongue.

”... you're really good at stroking people's nerves”

”It's bad for you to do something easy to understand.”

”Shut up.... before the oblique, the demon is coming”

”What do you mean shut up? And then I know.”

You can retreat so that Al strokes the flying demon with an arcane shell at the same time he warns you. Shake it out to pay for blood and keep running.

”It was really good”

”Now what the hell? I don't have the context.”

”I'm relieved that you've got your feet on the ground.”

”... naturally. I see reality better than you.”

”Really? You could have dreamed about it for a little while.”

”Say it.... I decided that it was bad for that guy”

Al tells me that guy, and there's only one person I can think of.

”It's bad because I'm leaving you. And I don't even listen to people. I don't even want to hear it.”

”... right”

”On the one hand, I don't even try to look at us if you don't want me to hate you. So I take it upon myself to be satisfied. He's a really selfish guy.”

”Next time you see him, do it in a sermon.”

”... right. If that's gonna happen.”

”It will come true. You're not alone anymore.”

Al didn't respond to anything to that word of mine. Continue into the back of the woods as you silently defeat each other's impending demons.

And I saw some light from the back of the woods. Something is moving around at high speeds, and the motion is so intensely brilliant that the residual light is pulling its tail.

Is that light... the light of Mana Blade?

”Acrylic!”

Al has increased his speed, so he will outrun me. Stepping straight after Al, it was just a little square there. No, should I say that the trees are getting wider as a result of being snagged down rather than the square?

And I smelled blood that was going to choke me back. Beneath the trees were countless carcasses of crushed demons. It is painful to have a tragic wound as if it had been taken away. This doesn't seem to have been desperate due to being knocked down a tree.

And the silver light flashed in the woods I pioneered. It's acrylic that even I run around at a finally speed to chase with my eyes. The spear-shaped Mana Blade in its hand will chop and carve countless giant demons.

I can't say I'm inferior or better than Annis, who used the magic of a dragon to strengthen his body. Is this the power of Ricant?

”Acrylic!”

”Al! Be careful! This guy, the guy I talked to during the day!

”What!?”

An acrylic that I noticed us landed beside us and screamed to warn me as I made my posture crawl to the ground. So I saw once again the demon that Acrylic was dealing with.

That was a lizard standing on two legs. The hind legs are developing and, conversely, are as short as the forelegs have degenerated. I have a little wing on my back like a bird that I don't know what it's for.

And from head to back, it's like a horse hyena and thoughtful hair growing all over it, what a chisel-shaped strange demon. Those eyes were stained with deep red like blood, and the demonic light was shaking.

Its mouth is painted on blood and pieces of flesh are pinched from the gap between its teeth. Blood odododour wasn't just caused by the demon's body, it must have also been caused by this demon.

”During the day...... is this what Acrylic said, the same vampired demon Anis encountered in Filwach!?”

I see, I do have a shape that makes me want to watch and tilt my neck. What Ennis seemed to see was a more intricate mix of creatures, but this lizard mosaic is still shaped to withstand direct vision.

On a good note, the acrylic seemed to quickly regenerate the slashed wounds as well. This is also the very trait Annis and Acrylic were saying. I mean, that this stuff is spreading in the Kingdom of Cambus...?

――――――

The demon that put me and Al in sight raised an odd cry. Too unpleasant a voice color is still not the kind of voice that looks like a lizard demon makes.

This alone makes me look too tough. Sure, you should get rid of this soon......!

”I think this guy is the cause of the stampede......!

”... acrylic, is that true?

”Al?”

Ask the acrylic warnings back to make sure Al knows what it is. That gaze was not a demon, but seemed to stare at its depths.

Acrylics are also surprisingly frowning at Al's appearance like that. And Al said as he passed on a glimmer of sweat.

”- This guy is not the one...! Back in the woods, there's this guy eating other demons!” These herds are the cause of the stampede!
