Mugunumuku, who heard the name Tsuki no Hokora, withdrew back one step and straightened its posture.
Its cut off tentacles regenerated from the part of its base.
“High Human, these fellows also killed many of my comrades. However, that’s already over.”
“Over?”
“They have abandoned this world, and many of the warriors left. Humans that remained, degraded as they progressed.”
“Well, I never thought to be told such a story by a demon.”
Though Count class demons were not smart to that extent, when it came to those owning a name, it seemed able to understand the society of the human race.
“Human era is facing the end. Schneee Raizaa. Be our comrade.”
“Is this the lead in to said story? When I think about whatever you said―――― It’s impossible.”
Magunumuku’s invitation was declined by Schnee without any hesitation. Such a thing was not worthy to be considered.
Magunumuku, which heard Schnee’s answer, bent its without-a-neck-body skillfully, and had a posture that looked puzzled. It appeared to not understand the reason Schnee refused.
“Schneee Raizaa. You were left by your master, why did you refuse us?”
“…Wait.”
In the middle of a trifling conversation, Schnee had to estimate the timing of attack, and her pretty eyebrows twitched to the words originating from Magunumuku.
“What did you just say?”
The air had frozen. Everyone in that room felt the illusion that the temperature inside the prison cell fell below freezing.
At this time, only Tiera felt the furs of Yuzuha and Kagerou suddenly bristling up.
“Your master has left you behind. These fellows have gone long ago. They will no longer return.”
As for Magunumuku, did it not feel the severe cold given off by Schnee? It wouldn’t stop talking.
“Isn’t it hateful? I won’t abandon you. Isn’t it annoying? Just rely on that power.”
Magunumuku kept stacking up words in a crooked voice to Schnee, who was silent.
The distorted sound, which was similar to the noise from the abyss, invaded and surged toward Schnee’s ears.
That was the skillset of Charm and Confusion that had manipulated Cardinal Greyl. The double mind contamination extended its evil hand towards Schnee.
However――
“Indeed, you all are still not aware of it after all.”
Schnee’s voice had somewhat a translucent feeling in it, filling the dark wet prison cell and purifying it.
“What are you talking about?”
“If it was the former me, I would surely be angry. I may have relied on feelings and fought.”
Schnee’s expression changed completely into a calm one from some time ago.
Magunumuku couldn’t understand why it didn’t feel negative emotions.
“The timing was bad for you.”
Schnee, in the next moment after saying so, moved both of her hands that they became blurry, and her weapons『Lazuline Flame』and 『Scarlet Flame』became flashes that penetrated through Magunumuku.
Gaahhh!?
Magunumuku couldn’t even react to the overwhelming speed of Schnee.
The blades pierced through the demon’s right chest and left side belly; its power and sharpness caused Magunumuku to become sewn on the wall of the prison cell.
There, Schnee approached him in a relaxed manner. Her movement was not in the least fast.
“This degree of――”
Its words didn’t continue to the end.
With its view declining diagonally, the figure that projected there, especially the blue shining line, made a strong impression in Magunumuku’s mind.
Magunumuku had its head severed. However, it didn’t cease breathing immediately because of its tough vitality. Therefore, it was able to recognize the ninja katana that gave off a bizarre air that Schnee held in her hand.
“Master, we don’t have permits, will w
Shin decided to leave the Bayreuth matter to Schnee, and turned around toward Rionne again.
“(Then that’s good. Some
