“wEirD. hOw, tHE peOPleE Of bAMil kNow tHAt wE ArE cOmInG, dId sOmeONe SpIll tHe bbEanS?”
The devil said in a strange tone of voice while spinning slowly in various directions.
The devil had indigo-colored wings that were excessively large for its petite body.
On its head, a single black horn sprouted from the right side of its forehead, which was slightly longer and had two branches.
A zipper-like device is attached to its clothing, and it looks as if it has somehow been spliced together.
Alena sees the devil and immediately gets into a fighting stance.
The villagers below were also on the alert, trying to evacuate the women and children and holding farm tools and wooden staves in an attempt to protect them.
“hAAhAhA! cHiLL! I wOn’T dO AnYthIng To ye!”
“…… who?”
“mE? I’M yAqI. jUsT yAqI.”
Although his tone of voice was as strange as ever, it was not impossible to understand him.
For some reason, it felt as if he was talking right in their ears, which made them feel uncomfortable.
They wondered if this was another ability of the devil.
If so, it is very plain.
“bUt bUt, hOw dId yOu kNoW? hOwHoW?”
“I’m not going to tell you.”
“wEll dUh~! oF cOuRse!
“What is the devil’s purpose?! Why are you doing this!”
“hE? iF yOu AsK wHy, iSn’T tHaT oBvIoUs!”
The devil, who identified himself as Yaqi, spun around and flipped again.
Then he gave his reason, looking a little stumped.
“tHe PuRpOsE, iS.”
“……The purpose is?”
“I-M-M-O-R-T-A-L-I-T-Y! BUT wE aLsO need sOME saCriFiCES For thaT.”
After saying this, he now takes his eyes off of Alena and begins to speak to the people.
“iF You RuN AWAY, yoU’Ll Be kILLed! IF you FIGht uS, yOu’LL BE KiLLEd!, EVEn iF yoU dO NOThINg, yOu AnD the enTiRE Town wilL bE dEStroYEd, No ExCEptION! let ME shOW yOU aN eXAmPle!”
“I won’t let you! [Heavy weight]!”
“Opeeh?”
Alena applies heavy weight to Yaqi.
Then his body stopped moving and he was slammed to the ground at once.
But he still seems to be moving, slowly trying to get up.
“N- now! Do it, guys! Don’t miss the chance Alena-sama made for us!”
“”Oh!””
Three men with farming tools and hunting tools surround the devil all at once, swinging the weapons they were carrying as hard as they can, and hit the devil.
Yaqi, who was unable to move properly because of the heavy weight, was unable to resist and was left ganged by the people.
Seeing this, the people of the territory soar.
They were now confident that they could defeat the devil themselves.
Those around them who had been frightened also saw this and rose to their feet, confident that they could win.
“Take! This!”
“M-F-er!”
No one would remain silent after hearing such a statement.
And Alena will not cease her weighting until the people are satisfied.
The three bashed-up warriors were blown away in one fell swoop.
And yet he should now be unable to move due to the heavy weight.
The proof of this is that even now, when the attackers are blown away and his figure becomes visible, Yaqi is still lying on the ground on his back, motionless.
But the next moment, his eyes met Alena’s.
“[Reversal].”
“*gasp? –!!”
Something heavy is on her body.
But when she looked at her back, there was nothing there.
She manages to levitate and slowly fall down, but the people lend a hand to Alena, who is clearly in a strange state of shock.
However, Alena’s body seemed to be very heavy now, and the man who helped her was unable to lift her up.
Even with two people working together, it was impossible.
“! This is my-!”
“Aah. Ah?”
“hnn…….”
Only the upper half of the body was raised, and the jet-black eyeballs turned toward them with its necks hanging slackly.
The face is devoid of reason, and those who see it will remember the fear.
As proof of this, the people around her took a step back when they saw it.
How could he make such an expression?
It was as if some instinct deep within their bodies was warning them that this was the devil.
However, she soon returned to her senses and began to blink her eyes.
At that moment, the skill that had been applied to Alena herself seemed to be lifted and she was able to move.
“AdiVA. gOT iT.”
“What in the …… hell is this ……!”
“oh wELL, It’s tiMe fOr ME TO go baCk. thAT’s ALl FOr NOW, fOLks. I JUSt COMe heRE tO See tHIs CITY, nO shIt!”
He spread his big wings and flew up at once.
Then he flew off into the distance.
His flying speed is ridiculously fast.
And with a mysterious aggression …… and a devil with skills like that,…… the battle could be really badly one-sided, a total landslide.
“Alena!!! Are you okay!?”
“Satella-Onee-chan,…….”
Satella rushed over and immediately took Alena’s hand and looked at her body with concern.
Thanks to the support of the residents of the territory, she was not seriously injured.
However, Alena had a feeling of regret.
She couldn’t do anything.
All she did was to stop him from moving.
The people who had bravely stood up to the mysterious force had been blown away, and somehow she had been “heavily weighted” as well.
This is just her guess, but if the devil’s skill was to rebound the attack, she really was not a good match for it.
The man who had just been blown away seemed to be okay, but his body was in tatters and his head was bleeding.
“Perhaps it’s …… right after all. ……”
“Hey, are you okay!?”
“I’m fine. It was a weird attack, but even we could have done something about it! I’m fine!”
“If you say so!”
Upon hearing this, the people watching around them seemed somewhat relieved.
Thanks to them, their morale did not drop.
But for those who had actually fought in the war, it was a case that could not be reassured at all.
