Good good great........! This is worth the wait.......!"
To allow the attack to land, he turned his back.
Just when the earth was going back to its peaceful slumber—Both side's killer moves started a collision.
Part 8[แก้ไข]
The melody that [The Pied Piper of Hamelin] played, was by far the most beautiful music Asuka had ever heard.
The magic flute had wonderful highs and lows — An extremely dreamy tune that encroached upon Asuka.
(Ah.....This is a bit treacherous.)
With the tune of the magic flute going through her ears, Asuka saw the world of dreams which she had discarded.
A world that she always yearned for from a young age to go out of the cage.
Over the wall, across the ocean, across the border.....
Being together with her deceased parents and sisters, not bound by any chain, running around with a smile on their faces.
And also experience Halloween together as a family.
The discarded world lingered behind, deeply stimulating the ear.
So that's how it was, this was indeed the magic flute.
Asuka quietly stared, while screaming [Trick or Treat!] in her dreams, happily frolicking with herself.
Just when Asuka was going to get conquered by these intoxicating and sweet dreams—She recalled a promise:
"Someday — We will hold our own Halloween—!"
(.........Yes, for now I will reserve my [Trick or Treat!] until that time comes.)
Asuka made that promise deep in her heart, and then suddenly woke up from the intoxication. She soon realized that the play had already ended.
Ratten started panting and gave out a troubled smile.
"After all..........we only said it will be one tune. Have you had a dream, my guest?"
"......Yeah, it was a very beautiful dream."
This was not a hyperbole evaluation. After all, there will be no more chances to reunite with her loved ones that died. And since the last memory of that dream was her family members smiling—Perhaps this was truly a blessing.
'PaPaPa'—Asuka clapped her hands unknowingly.
Ratten let out a bitter smile. If she breached the contract and started blowing another tune, maybe she could dominate Asuka. However as a member of a Demon Lord with dignity, it didn't allow her to do such underhanded schemes.
After all, she was unable to shake the loyalty of the Red Iron Giant, and thus she had really lost this game.
Kneeling on the ground, Ratten gradually started to disappear with fresh blood dripping.
"Ah~ Ah........I've lost. Forget it, that hit just now had almost taken my life. And to add on the strength needed to play the tune.......it appears I cannot maintain the spirit power of the demon."
"..........."
"Let's hopefully meet again, cute lady. I thank you for your appreciation♪ And say hi to my master for me."
"I want to thank you for that beautiful tune."
Asuka did not go to deliver the final blow as Ratten had lost and gone with the wind.
Picking the flute that was on the floor, she heard voices coming from the other end of the church.
It was Leticia and Jin.
"Asuka-sama! Are you alright!"
"Un, my hair is a bit messy, but that's about it."
"Really? Thank goodness. Although I determined their motives, they wouldn't do something that evil......no, now is not the time to discuss about this. We will detail out the omissions, anyways now the stained glass...."
"Yeah, there are real stained glass here, keep them well."
"Okay.....Okay, then Asuka-sama?"
"I am going to fight the Demon Lord with this child here."
Asuka pointed, Deen started moving it's heavy body.
Leaving the shocked Leticia and Jin, she hastily rushed to the location of the Demon Lord.
Part 9[แก้ไข]
After the powerful strengths collided with each other, the rubble that piled like a hill was blown away, turning the surroundings into a scorched earth.
Quietly looking at the fragments of the shattered magic flute, Weser murmured:
"........Hey, kid."
"So how?"
"Are you really human?"
Izayoi could only shrug his shoulders, having a nostalgic feeling that someone had mentioned it before.
However, Izayoi's right hand was appalling. His wrist broken, the skin was torn off as if an explosion had happened inside. If anyone saw him lying on the ground this way, they would see the more inferior side of Izayoi. As repayment for his arm, he had broken the enemy's main power. Which is to say- the outcome was worth the price.
Slowly bringing himself up, Izayoi raised his left hand to request another battle with Weser.
"Okay, let's do it again. You should be able to fight even if your flute is broken right?"
"...........No, it appears not."
'ShaSha'.......Weser's body started crumbling.
Looking at both his hands which were turning into light grain, he murmured out:
"Tsk! Since the method of summoning item had been broken, of course it will be like this."
"......You are going to disappear?"
"Yeah......AH~ Darn it, I shouldn't have given in to your provocation."
"Don't say such heartless words, I had fun. And it really hurts."
While applying pressure to his right arm, Izayoi smiled while cold sweat trickled down his spine. Actually the damage to his hand was so serious, in fact, Izayoi should be rolling on the ground while wailing, but his pride did not allow him to do such unpromising acts.
Izayoi turned away from the disappearing Weser.
"Good bye! Although I've said it a couple of times, but I am very happy. After all, so far, there was no one who could trade fists with me."
"OF COURSE, BRAT! If everyone was just like you who could take it.........well, take care."
'Wahaha!' Izayoi laughed while leaving.
Weser who watched him leave looked up to the sky.
"Yeah, someone as arrogant as you.........The previous boss was already enough."
The sun setting and the figure of the juvenile made Weser see traces of the distant past.
He then realised that this sort of dedication would only lead to defeat, before quietly disappearing while maintaining a bitter smile.
Part 10[แก้ไข]
What appeared was a particularly strong shaking. This had made Kuro Usagi and Sandra to stop and look at each other.
Using her gorgeous sleeve to wipe away her sweat, Sandra whispered:
"That earthquake just now was quite big eh."
"YES! Izayoi-san's battle seemed to have determined a winner!"
Following that came a burst from an explosion. Observing the distant location, you could figure out that the Sturm that was released got destroyed. The participants might have struck it down.
Hiding behind the minaret, Kuro Usagi looked happy because the tide of battle had changed.
On the other hand, Pest was assessing the game situation in her mind while watching the Sturms fall.
(Ratten and Weser.....both of them have been defeated....)
Pest gazed at the sun which had already set, looking a bit empty in her eyes.
Thinking about it, maybe the plan to take control of the situation was too naive, leading to these consequences. Pest must reflect on this.
1 week + 24 hours — confused the eyes with the time, with the plan of stalling the time till the judgement, in the end she kept leaving the passive position.
If from the start they gave up on defense, letting Weser and Ratten to commence the massacre......the fight wouldn't have deteriorated to this point.
There wasn't any option that one could win a gift game without any fights commencing.
(They still haven't broken the stained glass.......there are still 58.)
'Is it time?' Pest started talking to herself. If the grimoire was to be destroyed, the spirit power that pushes her to the death god's position would also disappear. Once she lost the spirit power of gods, even her [Host's permission] would also disappear.
Ratten and Weser.........Although the development of the situation because of the master-slave relationship was established, they were still loyal to their initial partner. Pest gave prayers to them
"—...................Enough."
"Eh?"
"I don't want to drag this game anymore, it will be good as long as I have Shiroyasha — I'll kill the rest."
Ending the conversation, dark wind rushed to the sky.
The clouds of dark wind started dispersing instantly, spreading into the air and pouring down on Hamelin city.
The air begins to get corroded, with birds falling to the ground and rats instantly dying as soon as contact with the Dark Wind was made.
"This wind is different than the previous one, a touch of it will bring instantaneous death."
"Eh......."
Pest stretched out her fingers. The wind that blended with the air wouldn't allow any sort of power to get close to it.
Although Kuro Usagi raised her Vajra and released lighting, it was immediately broken up in a moment, and thus running was the only option.
"It.....It really is the power of the [Giver]! This is the grace given by the god of death.........."
—Given the grace of the wind of death.
Becoming a [Giver] after the identity of god, Pest's dark wind would be able to bring death to anyone who touches it. Judging by this point, Pest did indeed have excellent qualities to become a god.
"Althou.......Although I heard about the Demon Lord who kills people just by being looked upon in the Celtic mythology[3], I never thought that this is now a similar situation! Physical properties definitely won't be able to penetrate the wind of death."
Both of them started screaming, the only thing they could do was retreat.
The release of the Death Wind started spreading outwards.
While dodging the Death Wind that came from the sky, she also felt fear from this strength.
"No.....not good! If this goes on, the participants in charge of searching for the stained glass will....!"
However, they did not have time to pay attention to the other participants.
They can't warn everyone scattered in the city with just the both of them.
