V4C95 (2/2)

With the soldiers mobilized to invade Dakyat, Korat would likely not be able to prevent the invasion of the advancing monsters and fall into ruin too.

Why does Valf intend to crush Korat and Dakyat?

There was no reason behind it.

He is of the demon race who utilizes humans as pawns and thinks that it is fine if humans are destroyed.

He laughed inside his heart.

He laughed imagining the slaughter that was about to happen.

Overrun by monsters, warring amongst humans and to further be trampled by monsters.

He laughed at the foolishness of humans.

However, his laughter was interrupted.

( ―! What happened? Did something happen!?)

The monster herd abruptly changed direction.

The monsters changed course towards the south.

What!?

What’s happening!?

(Is this the workings of something that transcends my magic!?)

Having absolute faith in his own strength, Valf was astonished and tried to determine the situation.

(― Tsu!!)

At that moment, Valf felt a gaze.

Somebody was looking at him.

Furthermore, it’s not just looking but somebody was staring at him with obvious hostility.

When Valf searched for the owner of that gaze, he saw them at the land to the south, ahead of where the monsters had changed course towards.

He saw 4 humans.

(Why is she … why is that Devil Kanon’s slave here?)

The first person he noticed was the girl with a pointed hat and mask on ― Malina.

(Malina if I remember correctly. She’s just a girl who possesses the odd job called Street Performer. Did she do something?)

However, Valf reconsidered. She was not the owner of the gaze.

Then, he saw the white haired White Wolf race next to Malina.

The White Wolf race is a tribe with sharp night vision.

It won’t be strange for her to notice him.

However, why was she looking so intently at Valf while he was in his bat form?

Valf pondered and then came to a realization.

(―! Haurvatat! Demon Lord Raritei’s pet!)

There was no doubt in Valf’s mind.

If it’s really her, she would know about his ability to transform into bat form.

(Then, was it her action that caused the monsters to change course? Buthow?)

Maybe because Haurvatat told them, Malina next to her as well as the weak-looking man and the small girl looked at his direction.

However, judging that it would be an obstacle to his plan if this continued, he decided to kill those 4 people.

Then, Valf’s split body disappeared into the dark night.

In order to return to his true body.
