136. Countermeasures for the Future (2/2)

Technology related to the transformation of human to demon and from demon to beastkin.

And the technology used to create the Cardinal’s core is also a technology that we do not have.

After exchanging information, we discussed what is to be done moving forward.

From now on, Milt and I will proceed with the elucidation of the enemy’s technology and countermeasures.

Dion will investigate the movement of the Cult, while Xenovia and Regina will take command of the defenses.

That’s how we divided our roles.

「We were able to get all this information thanks to Master defeating the Cardinal.」Dion said.

「Even I didn’t realize the enemy was there. It was the same for you too right, Regina?」Xenovia said, as she was the one who was the first to arrive on-site.

「Yeah, totally. The enemy’s concealment technique was amazing. We were saved because Master was there.」

「Actually, I didn’t notice it, either. It is all thanks to Rubeum.」

「Kyuru?」

Rubeum cried in a small voice, while rolled into a ball on my lap.

「If Rubeum didn’t notice the enemy, he could have brought the information back to base. So thank you.」I said, and stroked Rubeum.

「Kyu-kyuru.」Rubeum cried out happily.

「In the first place, if it wasn’t for Rubeum’s speed, I might have been dead. Thank you.」Xenovia bowed to Rubeum.

「…Was it that dangerous? Kyuru?」

Rubeum seemed surprised. Probably because he has seen the strength of my disciples.

「I was quite exhausted. Demons are not weak by any means. And a beastkin is much stronger.」Xenovia continued.

「Yeah. Fighting multiple enemies is quite tough, isn’t it?」

Even Regina, who cleaned up several beastkins like it was nothing, said so.

「Kyuru? It looked like you were overwhelming them, though.」

「Maybe it looked like that, but it was pretty close.」Regina said.

「Besides, fighting one-to-many is vastly different from one-to-one.」Xenovia added.

「Is that so?」

Regina reached out from behind me and started stroking Rubeum.「Yeah. The reason I rampaged as much as I liked was because Xenovia was nearby.」

Xenovia was fighting one-to-many.

However, Regina was fighting two-to-many.

Even if Xenovia didn’t directly participate in the fight, just her presence alone made a huge difference.

「Moreover, Ruu-chan was also circling in the sky.」

「I see… kyuru.」

「Even for me, the fight was easier because Shiro, Fluffy, Fay, and Rubeum were there.」

「Kyururu.」Rubeum cried delightedly, while shaking his tail.
