Chapter 97: 97

Chapter 97 - The One Who Was Devoured

In the central square of Lingen, which can be seen from the cliff top, a new phase has begun.

The silver demon with jet-black horn is enraged by the surprise attack, and the silver demon with red horn is laughing at him.

Two monsters with extraordinary strength are staring at each other and facing off.

 

(── The Silver Demon killing each other. How will it end up?)

 

Souya touched his fingers to his dark glasses and stared at the two demons, strangely moved by the rare situation.

 

“…… Master, what should we do?”

 

“Shamil, prepare for cover. Depending on the situation, I’ll force myself to go for the kill.”

 

This irregularity might be a welcome development.

If both of them end up in the same fight, it will be a great blessing, and even if they don’t, there is a chance that you can catch them by surprise when they are worn out from fighting.

If the opportunity arose, he would have to take it.

 

After a brief standoff, the jet-black horned demon was the first to strike. As if in return for the surprise attack, he tore the body of the Red Horn with his claws, and a splash of red and black blood flew from the laceration.

 

“Guuuaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

 

A moment later, it was the jet-black horned demon that screamed out, who should have landed a blow with his claws.

The blood splattered on him turned into a crimson flame, and a pillar of fire erupted from his body.

The Red Horn must have dared to bathe in blood. He was laughing with his mouth open as if to provoke.

 

“Blazing Bloodstream [Flaming Blood]! This is a higher-level fire spiritual art. As I thought, he’s the one who did that to Lingen ……”

 

The jet-black horned demon attacked the Red Horn again, but again the return blood turned into crimson flames, and this time it clung to him like a rope.

Finally realizing that he was at a disadvantage in close combat, the jet-black horned demon began to chant his dark arts, but he was never able to complete them.

The Red Horn grabbed one of his arms that was performing the chanting motion, twisted it casually, and ripped it off without a second thought ……

There was a dull thud, and then another deafening scream.

 

(…… There is also the possibility of compatibility. But there is too much difference in their ability. Is it this different?)

 

I had to retract my naive estimate that I was aiming for a fishing profit.　

The Red Horn is used to killing others of his own kind. I’m sure this isn’t the first time he’s fought with the “colored” ones.

In addition to that, there are signs of evolution, such as the Demonization Electrum. After all, it has a distinct difference from the other Silver Demons. 

 

“Oh, are those Bronze Demons that aren’t moving under the control of the Red Horn?”

 

Six bronze demon, both holding red swords, formed a circle around the two who were fighting each other, but they didn’t move an inch.

If they don’t help the jet-black horned in his predicament, then as Shamil had told, they could be considered to be under the control of the Red Horn by process of elimination.

 

“That’s right. But it seems that they are not helping the Red Horn either. So, he doesn’t want any interference with his fun.”

 

The Red Horn bit into the left shoulder of the badly wounded jet-black horn and rudely tore it off.

He was bleeding heavily, but the jet-black horned demon was unresponsive. He may have fainted, or he may have already run out of steam.

When Red Horn has finished chewing the flesh of his left shoulder, he smiles contentedly, then twists his remaining right arm with all his might, snaps off his claw, swallows it whole, and chews again.

　

 

“…… Cannibalism. Master, this is definitely treason.”

“Ah. I was thinking of two possibilities. The first is a defection from the Platinum Lord. The other is that he has an unusual taste and urge for destruction. He has dedicated himself to the God of Destruction, Ragnus.”

 

The Red Horn in front of me was preying on the same rank of “colored”, a taboo set by the Platinum Lord.

 

He bit down on his side and chewed.

He bit down on his right leg and chewed it.

It gouged out both eyeballs and swallowed them whole. He tore off his ears.

 

“Uwaaah, He is …… enjoying eating him.”

 

The shared vision was shaking violently. Shamil is terrified and frightened.

The Red Horn’s body, reflected in the shaking image, was beginning to deform, perhaps from the effects of predation. Its muscles were bulging, its eyes were appearing on its forehead, and its color was beginning to take on a darker golden hue.

If this cannibalism is advancing the stage phase of the Demonization Electrum, the situation is even worse than I imagined.

 

“Shamil, you okay ……? If you can’t bear to look at it directly, you can close your eyes. I think I’m going to get drunk from the images we shared. I’ll go there and take your place.”

 

“…… I-I’m sorry about that! It’s just …… that is too much for me to handle. As a matter of fact, I’d like to leave right now.”

 

“I know, I know. In any case, we can’t enter Lingen in our current situation.”

 

“…… Master, I’m amazed you be so calm in such a situation. I guess the name of Silver Rei, one of the six heroes, is no mean feat.”

 

“There’s no way I’m calm. –This isn’t good, it’s been a while since I’ve seen no winning chance at all.”

 

There was no composure in Souya’s expression as he spoke plainly.

I’ve been trying to activate the Weakness Detection, a feature of the dark glasses, since the start of the battle, but my attempts to detect the Red Horn’s weakness have continually failed. There are two possible cases.

Either the Red Horn has magic resistances that exceed the magic strength of the weakness detection granted by the goddess Eris.

Or, he doesn’t have any weakness at all ……

 

(The magic items that Eris gave me didn’t work at all. This is just like–)

 

It’s still not as good as his or her Demon Lord. But what will happen when he becomes a perfect gold after repeated cannibalism?

In Souya’s mind, the memory of twenty years ago, the image of the lion-faced Gold Demon, the greatest enemy of the six heroes, came back to life.

 

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

 

I’ve been watching from the top of the cliff for about half an hour now.

The Red Horn had stopped at the central square, and finally, its deformed body seemed to have adjusted, and it spread its huge wings and slowly flew away from the central square towards the mountains to the south.

The six bronze demons with red swords followed suit.

 

There was nothing Souya and Shamil could do about it.

Letting the red-horned demon that controlled the flames escape here would definitely lead to disaster later on. But there are not enough pieces …… Even if the pieces were enough, it may take many sacrifices to defeat such a powerful enemy.

""

 

The red-horned demon that had wreaked havoc on the city was gone, and the empty central square was left with only the dust of the jet-black horned demon that had been the silver demon.
