Episode 15: Life and Death in Struggle
After parting with Momonga in Carne Village, Peroroncino
“Good evening, Shalltear, Entoma, Solution, Lupusregina, and Sebas.
"Dear Peroroncino!"
"Nice to meet you!"
〈
Shalltear and Entoma are sitting side by side, and opposite Sebas, Solution, and Lupusregina are sitting side by side. They immediately stood up from their seats when Peroroncino appeared, and each of them knelt and bowed their heads, making good use of the narrow space.
Peroroncino immediately waved his right hand lightly, instructing him to take it easy. After confirming that they were sitting in the same way again <
Looking at Sebas, Solution, and Lupusregina sitting across from me, I couldn't help but stare at the unfamiliar clothes.
Sebas was wearing his usual butler clothes, but Solution and Lupusregina had never seen before in Nazarick. open.
No matter how you look at it, it's a beautiful aristocratic daughter and her attendant. She doesn't look weird to anyone.
"No~, it's just the clothes that change~. You two look good together."
"Thank you"
"Thank you, Peroroncino-sama."
Solution and Lupusregina lowered their heads with smiles on their faces.
Shalltear, who was sitting next to Peroroncino, frowned slightly uninterestedly, and then spoke to Peroroncino with a charming smile, trying to somehow get him to turn his attention to me.
“Peroroncino-sama, thank you very much for your support this time.
“What are you talking about, Shalltear? There's no way you're bothering me.
Peroroncino smiled and put his hand on Shalltear's small silver head, who was looking up at her.
While stroking her silky hair, she made a guts pose with (Shalltear's upturned eyes Moe...!).
In the first place, Peroroncino was here because, as I said earlier, Peroroncino asked Shalltear. Shalltear and Entoma
Shalltear can be said to be the strongest among the floor guardians in terms of combat ability alone. Entoma has also completed her magician and insect-wielding professions, so it's very reassuring to be able to devote herself to supporting her . that could not be wiped away.
One is that Shalltear was set as a weak-minded girl.
The other is that when something happens, Entoma doesn't have the ability or the ability to stop Shalltear or give advice.
And what worried him the most was Shalltear's "blood frenzy".
In Yggdrasil, which has the concept that great power comes with a corresponding risk, there are only a handful of people who are not bound by that concept. Shalltear, who was just an NPC, was no exception, and while she was touted as the strongest guardian, she also ran the risk of a "blood frenzy".
“Blood Frenzy” is, as the name suggests, a bad status that makes you forget yourself instead of increasing your attack power with blood. will become an existence that only seeks blood for a certain period of time and becomes uncontrollable.
It would have been very bad to activate it at this time without knowing what to do if it was the time of Yggdrasil. Not only would the chances of the mission fail, but if it did, the current Shalltear would feel responsible and end up committing suicide.
As long as I'm here, I won't let Shalltear get hurt! While Peroroncino was enthusiastic in his heart, the carriage stopped moving as if it reacted to it.
Peroroncino's line of sight naturally intersects.
"It seems that the prey is completely hooked."
Shalltear, Solution, and Lupusregina all smiled broadly at the same time. Ordinary people would have felt beautiful and eerie, but Peroroncino just seemed to be having fun.
When Shalltear and Entoma slowly stood up, they stood in front of the carriage door and gently opened it. Peroroncino also took care not to be noticed by the presence outside, and peered through the gaps in their shadows.
The darkness of the night stood outside, and the shadows of about ten large men stood around the carriage.
The mere thought of Shalltear, her lovely wife, and Entoma, her companion's beloved daughter, being exposed to men's vulgar gazes made her feel an indescribable displeasure.
However, Shalltear, who was the one being pointed at, had a bewitching smile on her face, and Entoma was just silently standing behind Shalltear with no emotion.
"Thank you all for coming together for me. By the way, who is the most important person among you? Is it you who wants to negotiate?"
He doesn't look frightened at all, and calls out to the bandits in a calm voice. On the contrary, the thieves seemed more confused, and Shalltear was now completely in control of this place.
As expected of Shalltear, my heart was filled with joy.
However, the moment one of the thieves spoke vulgar words to Shalltear, Peroroncino's eyes shone sharply.
Before Sebas and the others noticed and stopped him, Peroroncino got up from his chair and leaned over to Shalltear. She witnessed an ugly man reaching out to Shalltear's chest, and her vision instantly turned bright red.
"Don't touch it with dirty hands..."
"Don't touch my Shalltear with your filthy hands...!"
Boggy !
The moment Shalltear was about to shake off her hand, Peroroncino interrupted her voice and waved his hand.
The man's hand is mercilessly crushed, and it flies to shreds while raising red droplets.
For a while, the man didn't seem to understand what had happened to him, but when he saw that his wrists were missing, he finally seemed to understand what kind of condition he was in. He turns pale in an instant and stars at his right wrist with wide, quivering eyes.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
With my left hand, I grabbed my right wrist, which was sprinkling blood, and screamed.
While Peroroncino frowned at the harsh shout, Solution, Lupusregina, and Entoma stepped forward as if in response. Passing Peroroncino and Shalltear, I get off the carriage with light steps.
“Peroroncino-sama, Shalltear-sama, please leave the rest to us.”
"Let's clean up quickly!"
“Meat, lots of it.”
"It's fine, but I don't want you to leave that behind. I have a lot to ask you."
While Shalltear had a dull expression on her face, she turned her gaze to the man who seemed to be the representative and reminded her.
Solution, Lupusregina, and Entoma each nodded, then attacked the thieves vigorously as if they were repelled.
The thieves don't know what to do, some scream and run away, and some pull out their weapons and brandish them.
But no one can escape from their blades.
Amid many screams and blood splatters, Peroroncino took his eyes off the devastation in front of him and turned his attention to Shalltear, who was standing by his side.
“Didn't you touch me with your dirty hands, Shalltear?”
"Yes! This body belongs to the Supreme Beings. I have no intention of forgiving this body to anyone other than the Supreme Beings."
Seeing Shalltear blush as she embraced her body, Peroroncino relaxed her expression and placed her hand on her small silver head. In stark contrast to when he blew away the bandit man's hand, he stroked Shalltear's head with a gentle touch.
By the time Shalltear's cheeks were dyed even more vermillion and her large crimson eyes were filled with ecstasy, the surroundings were completely silent. A lot of corpses turned into lumps of meat rolled on the ground, and a foul stench drifted around.
Solution had an unnaturally disheveled dress that kicked her skin, Entoma bit into something that seemed to be her arm, and Lupusregina grinned as the lone surviving thief. I was kicking a man.
It was a tragic and terrifying sight, but neither Shalltear nor Peroroncino felt anything. Rather, I even think that it's a reward because I died at the hands of beautiful women like Solutions.
Peroroncino took Shalltear and Sebas and approached the bandit who was the only survivor.
The man who was being kicked by Lupusregina turned even more pale when he saw Peroroncino.
"... Well, this is the only one left. Is this time a loser?"
"Peroroncino-sama, I'm afraid that's not always the case. It's also possible that their stronghold is near here."
"Fumu... Is there a possibility that the target person is in the castle... Shalltear?"
“Yes. … Look into my eyes.”
Understanding exactly what Peroroncino was trying to say, Shalltear walked over to the man.
The man's eyes were drawn into Shalltear's jewel-like crimson eyes, and his face that had been tinged with fear instantly changed into a friendly smile.
Shalltear has
The man who was completely fascinated by Shalltear obediently answered Shalltear's question with a smile on his face.
According to the man, they were originally a group of mercenaries called the "Swords of Death". It was a medium-sized household with a total of less than 70 members, and seemed to be based in a cave in the nearby forest . are also people who are reasonably skilled, and among them, a man named Brain Anglaus is said to be the strongest swordsman...
Peroroncino and Shalltear looked at each other and immediately decided to head for the castle the man had mentioned.
The merchant group Sebas, Solution, and Lupusregina parted here, and Peroroncino, Shalltear, and Entoma headed for the bandits' stronghold.
"Can Entoma carry this man?"
"Yes. Please leave it to me."
"Then, I'm begging you. Shalltear, come over here."
After entrusting the man to Entoma, Peroroncino called Shalltear to his side.
Peroroncino smiled at Shalltear, who was approaching with a strange expression on his face.
"I'm going to the bandits' base now, so I think there's a lot of traps set up. It's going to take time to go while investigating, and there's a regular debriefing session tonight, so it's a quick flight. Let's go from
“Is it from the sky?
A loud voice of astonishment erupted from Shalltear's mouth.
A delicate body wearing a jet-black dress was lifted up by strong arms, and then Peroroncino held her sideways.
Shalltear's waxy white cheeks turned red in an instant.
However, Shalltear, who was loyal to every desire, did nothing to discourage Peroroncino.
It is not only the supreme Lord, but also the most revered and revered creator, Peroroncino.
Rather, he himself stretched out his hands, wrapped his arms around Peroroncino's neck, and with an ecstatic expression rubbed his cheek against his feathered and armored chest.
"Ah, Peroroncino-sama."
(Hey, my Shalltear is really an angel!)
Despite the fact that they are on an important mission and this is outdoors, the surroundings of the two are dyed in a pink aura.
Luckily, Peroroncino regained his composure quickly, cleared his throat and looked back at Entoma, who was watching the situation nearby.
"Entoma was able to fly too, right?"
"Yes. I have this child, so it's okay."
When did it appear, bigger than a human?
Peroroncino nodded once, spread his four pairs of wings wide and soared into the sky.
Entoma also grabbed the man's head and sent a signal to the giant insect, making it stick to its own back.
The air trembled with a powerful booming sound and a heavy bass vibrating sound, and two large shadows began to dash through the air. Peroroncino and his friends go deeper and deeper into the forest, relying on the guidance of the man who is hanging in midair because Entoma is only grabbing his head.
After a few minutes, the trees began to thin out, and Peroroncino and the others emerged into what looked like an open meadow.
Once Peroroncino stopped in front of the grassland, he swooped down to the ground and dropped Shalltear, who was holding him in his arms, to the ground. Even though Shalltear had a slightly disappointed expression on her face, she quietly slipped out of her arms and stood beside Peroroncino. Entoma also ordered the giant insect to descend from the air, and she stood right next to Peroroncino and the others.
Right in front of them is a large plain, devoid of any trees, instead of many stones protruding from the ground.
A little further on the ground, a cave opened its mouth wide, and a faint light leaked out from inside the cave.
Perhaps that cave is the bandit's stronghold. A barricade made of logs was set up at the entrance of the cave, and there were two guards with large bells hanging from their shoulders.
"... Hmm, is that the only entrance over there?"
After watching the cave and the lookout for a while, he tilted his head and asked a question.
Immediately after Shalltear asked the man who was being dragged by Entoma, the man whose charm had worn off once again gave a frightened expression and nodded repeatedly.
But I can't believe it 100%.
I wouldn't lie if I charmed him again, but I don't have time to do that, and I don't even know what position this man is in the gang of bandits . he doesn't know, otherwise he doesn't know everything. It would be nice if we could make a ruckus and lure all the bandits here, but it would be troublesome if even some of them escaped.
“……Entoma, please use your followers to explore the area around the 5km radius from the entrance of the cave.
"I'm in awe. How about this human?"
"I don't need it anymore, Entoma can do whatever he wants."
"Yes! Thank you very much."
At that moment, before he could raise his voice, the man's head was crushed like a tomato in Entoma's hand. Once, the man's body jerked and convulsed greatly, but he soon became weak and calm.
Entoma bowed her head respectfully once, and disappeared into the forest while dragging the man's body.
Peroroncino looked back at Entoma for just a moment, and then immediately turned his face back towards the cave.
He took out his main weapon, the Gay Bow, from his item box, pulled the string, and held it up in the sky.
“Shalltear, just ask those two <
"I was awed"
Once Shalltear lowered her head, immediately
Almost at the same time, Peroroncino also shoots two non-attribute arrows overhead.
The two arrows once rose high in the sky, leaving behind silvery trails, and then they drew a gentle parabola and fell downwards. The two arrows, which gained momentum due to gravity, pierced deeply into the men's heads as if they were sucked in. The men who had their skulls pierced all at once fell to their deaths without raising a single cry. Thanks to Shalltear's magic, not to mention the sound of the bells, not even the sound of falling.
Peroroncino nodded once to Shalltear, lowered his gay bow and slowly stepped forward.
On the way, I noticed that there was a pitfall, and while avoiding it, I approached the entrance of the cave.
Peroroncino and his friends made sure that the men were dead just in case, before stepping into the cave.
Light sources were installed here and there in the cave, so it was brighter than I expected.
Therefore, if I didn't take any countermeasures, the opponent would soon find me, but there was no need to worry about anything anymore.
It's about time Entoma's security network was already completed. No matter when their existence was exposed, it was already a festival for the other party.
“Oh, hey, what are you guys!?”
"... Oh, did you find it quickly?"
A man's sharp voice and noise can be heard from the depths of the cave .
However, it would be more convenient for the thieves to gather here and make a big fuss.
I thought it might be a good idea to fight a little more flashily... I was about to set up Gay Bow, but before I could do that, Shalltear stepped forward.
Standing in front of Peroroncino as if to protect him, he snapped his right hand with a sullen expression.
"It's an eyesore to make a fuss in front of Peroroncino-sama....Keep quiet."
Shalltear lightly kicked the ground, and the next moment she moved in front of the men and quickly swung her right hand.
The heads of several bandits were cut off all at once, and fresh blood spurted out like a fountain.
The rest of the bandits were stunned, unable to comprehend what had happened, but then reflexively screamed and took advantage. Just like in the forest, there are those who wield weapons and those who flee to the depths of the cave.
However, there was no way Shalltear could let anyone escape, kicking the ground and waving her hand, and in the next moment, even more heads fluttered in the air.
A large amount of blood gushing out from the wound danced in the air and gathered above Shalltear's head to create a sphere of blood.
Called "Blood Pool", it was a substitute for storing blood and activating high-level magic.
It's definitely powerful, but I'm a little worried that "Blood Frenzy" won't activate.
While I was wondering if a man named Brain Angraus would come out soon, I suddenly noticed that a sign was approaching from the depths of the cave.
Even though he was approaching me with slow steps without panicking, I couldn't help but stare at him.
In front of Peroroncino and Shalltear, a man appeared from the depths of the cave.
With wavy blue hair and sharp eyes.
"Oi oi, sounds like fun"
The moment the man saw Peroroncino, his eyes widened in surprise for a moment, but he immediately regained his composure and called out to him with a smile.
Peroroncino was deeply impressed that he was a man with a strong heart, but Shalltear was waving his hands flutteringly with a tiresome expression on his face.
"It's not that much fun. Maybe it's because I'm not very strong, so the smooth pool doesn't accumulate."
The man's gaze moved slightly toward Shalltear, who replied with a careless voice, and caught a ball of blood floating above her head.
"It looks like magic that I've never seen before...
The gaze that had been directed at Shalltear moved to Peroroncino and was sharply narrowed.
He looked at Gay Bow in Peroroncino's hand, then again at Bloodpool above Shalltear's head, making his face frown slightly.
probably an archer
The man seemed to be thinking about something for a while, but then he looked straight at me as if he had regained his composure.
"I don't know what you came here for, but if you go any further, I will show no mercy. I will cut you down with this sword!"
"Well, are you going to come at me alone? You're really brave, aren't you? Do you mind if I invite all of your friends over?"
"No matter how many small fish there are, they won't reach you guys, right? Then just me is fine."
Seeing the man with a confident smile on his face, I guessed that he was probably that talented. In that case, this man might be the person with the biggest purpose this time.
After staring at the sword the man was holding for a while, Peroroncino took a step forward.
"You're pretty confident. Could it be that you're Brain Angrause?"
"... Hmm, I didn't know there was someone who knew my name. Well, I don't feel bad."
"That means it must be Brain Angrause."
Without a word of denial, Peroroncino decides that the man in front of him is the target "Brain Anglaous".
If so, it's best to capture it quickly.
When Peroroncino looked at Shalltear, Shalltear also smiled and bowed as if she knew it, then took one or two steps towards Brain.
Brain tightened his face and put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard on his waist.
That stance is definitely the stance of drawing a sword.
Peroroncino narrowed his eyes under his helmet, remembering what Takemitsu Takemitsu had told him long ago.
In the tense atmosphere, Shalltear was the only one who tilted her head slightly with an unchanging smile on her face.
"I can't keep the supreme being I love waiting. I'm going to start trampling."
Shalltear's smile deepened, and she stepped towards Brain with infinitely graceful steps.
His steps are slow, and I don't think he will fight from now on. It's as light as if you're taking a pleasant walk, and there's not even a grain of vigilance there.
If it's a normal feeling, the blood may rise to the head as if he was joking . didn't seem to have moved in the slightest.
The distance between Shalltear and Brain gradually narrowed.
Now then, while Peroroncino was watching when Shalltear was going to attack, the moment Shalltear took the next step, Brain moved all at once.
From the eyes of a normal person, it would have been a momentary speed that even an afterimage could not follow. But alas, the eyes of Peroroncino and Shalltear, who were not normal, were more accurately capturing the movement as if it were slow.
Unleashed from its scabbard, the white blade approaches Shalltear's neck in a straight line.
The moment I was about to touch White Goose's skin, the white blade suddenly stopped moving as if time had stopped.
Brain's eyes opened wide in surprise.
With a gentle smile on her face, Shalltear gently picked up the blade from the peak of the blade.
"... idiot"
A gasp-like voice comes out of Blaine's mouth.
Judging from the magnitude of the shock he must have received, I came to the conclusion that the previous attack might have been his feat.
A one-hit kill for the first move.
It's a concept that isn't very common in the rear guard, Peroroncino, but I remember it being relatively common in the vanguard warrior position.
(…Acha~, I wonder if this also ruined my pride.)
Peroroncino involuntarily turned his pitiful gaze towards the Brain.
But Shalltear didn't care about that at all.
Shalltear made a boring expression, shrugged her shoulders and slowly opened her mouth.
"...<
"Huh!?"
The muttered words activate magic, and an invisible force mercilessly restrains Brain's movements.
As if he had turned into a living statue, his expression was twitching in shock and he didn't move.
Shalltear casually let go of her sword and looked back at Peroroncino behind her.
"Peroroncino-sama, for the time being, the arrest has been completed."
"Yeah, thank you for your hard work."
"But do you really need this fragile being?"
"Well, what we're looking for is knowledge about unknown powers. We don't really need strength at this time."
Peroroncino walked up to Brain and lifted his motionless body like a bale.
Ask Shalltear to go to Nazarick
"I'm going to deliver this guy, so <
"I was awed"
Shalltear grabbed the edge of the skirt of her dress and bowed her head respectfully.
When Peroroncino nodded once, <
The scenery inside the cave changed completely, and next, the sight of Nazarick's mausoleum dyed in the darkness of the night spread out before my sight.
Now, while thinking about where to leave this guy, Peroroncino turned around when he suddenly heard a call.
"Peloroncino, welcome home!"
"...Ah, Albedo huh? Yeah, I'm home."
For some reason, Albedo was outside, and Peroroncino tilted his head inwardly while returning his greeting.
Shizu was also behind Albedo, so maybe the two of them were doing something here.
I wondered if it was a new defense measure for Nazarick or something... while suddenly realizing that Albedo and Shizu were staring at what they were carrying on their shoulders.
"... Master Peroroncino, what is that inferior creature?"
"Ah, this is a strong man who can use martial arts that Shalltear has captured."
"Strong man... is this...?"
Albedo looked at Blaine suspiciously.
As for Blaine, who was staring at him, his eyes were filled with terror even though he was still immobilized by the binding magic.
No matter how you look at it, it just looks like Albedo's words just now hurt him.
Ahh, how pitiful... while unintentionally sympathizing with Brain, Peroroncino looked at Albedo and Shizu once again, trying to pull himself together.
"Well, he seems to be a strong person in this world, and he seems to be able to use martial arts, so please restrain him for the time being. That's right... take him to the neuronist."
"I'm in awe. Shizu, can I ask you something?"
"...yes..."
Shizu nodded once to Albedo, then walked over to Peroroncino and took Brain with both hands.
I was a little worried about handing over a large man to Shizu, who looked like a small girl, but Shizu didn't waver and carried Brain on her shoulders just like Peroroncino. Due to her height difference, both Brain's feet are on the ground , but Shizu's own expression doesn't change at all, and she seems to have no trouble carrying it.
Shizu bowed to Peroroncino once, and then disappeared into the depths of the mausoleum while dragging both of Brain's legs.
Perhaps he went to the Neuronist as per Peroroncino's words.
After seeing Shizu and Brain off for a while, Peroroncino looked back at Albedo, who was still standing by his side.
"Yes. I would like to ask you one thing."
"Such a request! Please order anything!"
"Ah, thank you... So, um, to Carne Village
"
"As expected of Albedo! The person I want you to keep an eye on is a blond boy with long bangs named Nfirea Baralere. If he is in any danger, or if he tries to get along with a girl in the village, please let me know immediately. is!"
"... I'm in awe. I'll prepare it immediately and send it to Carne Village."
"Yeah, I asked for it!"
With a big smile on his face, Peroroncino patted Albedo's shoulder lightly several times with gratitude.
In an instant, Albedo's cheeks turned red.
Albedo, with his golden eyes moistened passionately, fluttered the wings on his hips and looked up at Peroroncino.
“…Dear Peroroncino, have you been in Nazarick all day today?”
"Huh? No, I'll go back to Shalltear once."
"Is that so..."
"Ahaha, even if you don't worry so much, I'll be back by the regular debriefing session. Don't worry."
As Albedo lowered his face in dejection, he reached out his hand to the jet-black head to reassure him. Caressing not to touch the two horns that grow out of her temples, he gently strokes her head as if combing her silky hair.
"Lord Perroncino"
“…Hmm, Entoma?”
At that time, I suddenly felt like I was connected to something in my head, and then Entoma's cute voice resounded in my head.
I immediately took my hand off Albedo's head and focused on Entoma's voice.
Even though the usual sweet and cute tone was hiding, anxiety welled up as if something had happened.
"We've run into a little problem. Shalltear-sama activated the "Blood Frenzy", and she left the cave and went deep into the forest...』
“Shalltear!?”
The report from Entoma made Peroroncino lose his temper at once.
This is not a minor issue, but a big deal.
When Peroroncino turned on his heel, the <
“Lord Perroncino!?”
"I'm going back to Shalltear! Don't worry about me, Albedo, just do what I asked you to do!"
If you just look back at her face and give a brief instruction, you can do it without hesitation <
My vision was dyed in darkness for a moment, and then changed to the scene inside the cave earlier.
Entoma was standing right next to him, and when Peroroncino came out, he bowed his head respectfully.
Peroroncino was so impatient that even a little time was lost, and when he immediately raised his head, he immediately asked what he wanted to hear the most.
“Where is Shalltear now!?”
"We are still moving deep in the forest. I will guide you."
"ask!"
Peroroncino immediately nodded, picked up Entoma, and kicked the ground vigorously.
It powerfully flaps its four pairs of wings and runs through the sky at explosive speed.
In my arms, Entoma was shaking repeatedly, but I decided to ask her to endure it because I could move faster.
After leaving the cave in less than a minute, he plunged into the forest in the direction Entoma indicated.
It seems that many of Entoma's relatives are reporting to Entoma from time to time, and Peroroncino obediently follows the guidance without hesitation and moves his wings.
It ran through the trees like a gust of wind, and at the moment when it appeared in a slightly opened place, Peroroncino involuntarily opened his eyes wide at the sight that jumped in.
"Entoma!!"
Intense anger and murderous intent welled up at once, and my vision was dyed bright red.
However, when he managed to call out to Entoma even though his reason was being consumed, Entoma immediately jumped out of Peroroncino's arms and jumped to the ground.
As soon as Entoma left his arms, Peroroncino took out the gay bow from the item box, pulled the strings sharply, and took a sharp stance.
In front of him is Shalltear, who reveals her true nature, and the twelve characters who are confronting her.
Among them, his sixth sense rang an alarm bell toward one point, and Peroroncino pointed his arrowhead in that direction without hesitation.
A single arrow that is released vigorously without thinking about anything.
The arrow flew toward an old woman in a bright white dress behind her, branching into dozens of blades along the way .
"What!? Avoid!!"
Someone raises his voice, but it's already a later festival.
Dozens of blades impaled the old woman and the man, along with the man with the large shield standing to protect the old woman, punching holes in them.
But it doesn't end there.
Peroroncino's main attack method is bombardment, and Peroroncino, who is dominated by anger, will not forgive him, and many arrows are not satisfied with just blowing holes in two lumps of flesh, and explode with a tremendous amount of heat.
While the other humans were distracted by the explosion, he retrieved Shalltear and soared high into the sky once again.
Before he knew it, he had returned to his girl form and grabbed Shalltear, who had a startled expression on his face, as if hanging from his neck.
Lightning-attribute arrows pierced the ground in a circle to surround twelve prey, and at the moment the last arrow pierced, lightning was discharged in a hemispherical shape along the edge and ran through the sky and ground.
A bluish-white light that burns your retinas and a roar of thunder that splits the world.
Everyone trapped inside the circle would be electrocuted and burned.
But Peroroncino never let his guard down and never gave up.
Chant the chant at the timing when the thunder disappears.
"<
The space above Peroroncino's head was greatly distorted, and in the next moment, there was a large jet-black bird flapping its wings.
Is it 4 meters long? A long, sharp beak and blood-red eyes. Its jet-black wings are tattered, and every time it flaps its wings, several feathers fall out and fall to the ground.
the name
It is a terrifying monster that eats everything.
"go"
Chaos Eater raises a strange voice according to the words of Peroroncino, the summoner.
With the flapping of its wings, it plunges into the round, blackened, scorched ground. There were eleven charred chunks of meat and one
A lone boy with a shabby spear.
It has severe burns all over its body, but unlike other lumps of meat, it can breathe and it's not like it can't even move.
The boy accurately captured the Chaos Eater while his one eye was half cloudy, and sharply pierced the large spear he held in his hand.
However……--
"... sorry, it's useless"
The moment the tip of the spear pierced deeply, a crack ran through the center of the wound, then the monster bird's body split in two and two small monster birds flew in front of the boy.
The boy opens his eyes wide in surprise and stops moving.
However, the two Chaos Eaters didn't seem to care at all and attacked the boy all at once.
"No! Ha, get away!!"
It manages to dodge its attacking beak and claws, scolds its aching body and swings its spear.
However, no matter how many times it stabs its body, how many times it pierces the heart, and how many times it flies off its head, it just splits in two from the wound, and not a single bird can be defeated.
Before he knew it, the monster bird, which was only one at first, had multiplied to more than ten, and all of them attacked the boy all at once.
Some pounce on the hand holding the spear, some stick their beaks into the half-open mouth, some crawl into the armor, and some pull the boy's long hair and knock him out of balance.
However, it is up to here that everyone moves differently, everyone is the same after that.
Peck the meat in front of you and eat it.
Some peck at the flesh inside from burns on their hands, some hold their tongues in their mouths and tear them to pieces, some peck at the flesh in front of them wholeheartedly, and some create new wounds with others. .
I can't stand even raising my voice anymore, I'm pulled down to the ground, and I'm sinking in the sea of monster birds.
Peroroncino stared down at the boy with his cold eyes as he was being eaten without leaving any bones behind.
Perhaps those who know the usual Peroroncino would have been surprised at the change if they saw the current Peroroncino.
However, even he, who is usually mild-mannered and friendly, was certainly under the influence of being deformed in the same way as Momonga and Ulberto.
What he has now is an instinct for his own territory.
No, the word "territorial" may be a bit misleading.
Attachment and defense to what Peroroncino has decreed to be his own... or wished to be his own.
The objects are not limited to things, but also include people and places.
Even if they are ambiguous such as "damaged", "almost about to be hurt", or "may have been hurt", Peroroncino's blade is pointed at the other party.
For example, even if it was a young girl who would normally have loved Peroroncino, that wouldn't change .
This time, the mysterious group that might have harmed Shalltear, Peroroncino's beloved daughter, unfortunately met a tragic end after being touched by Peroroncino's wrath.
"Ah, um... Master Peroroncino..."
"Shalltear... are you injured? Is there any pain anywhere?"
"II'm fine. I'm very sorry for causing you trouble."
"I don't think it's a nuisance! More than that, I'm really glad that Shalltear was safe..."
Peroroncino thrust his gay bow into the item box, and with both of his free hands, he tightly embraced Shalltear, who was hanging around her neck. He hugged her deeply with all his might, and rubbed her cheek against Shalltear's silvery white hair.
"Pe, Peroroncino-sama...!"
Shalltear brushed in his arms as he called out his name, but Peroroncino, who was overcome with a great sense of relief, was unable to release Shalltear.
I want to feel more for her and more fully realize that she is safe.
However, as if to stop Peroroncino, a large number of Chaos Eaters returned to Peroroncino.
When Shalltear reluctantly turned her face away and looked at the ground, there was no longer a single piece of meat or even a single piece of bone left. Only a number of broken equipment and weapons lay carelessly on the blackened ground.
"... Entoma, collect all the weapons and equipment that are lying around and send them to Nazarick."
"Yes, I was frightened."
I don't know how long it's been there, but Entoma, who was floating in the air next to me while grabbed by a giant insect, answered in a normal tone and bowed her head.
Peroroncino nodded once, and after staring for a while at the many insects that began to move around under his feet, he turned his attention to Shalltear, who was still in his arms.
"... Let's go home soon, Shalltear. To Nazarick."
"Yes, Master Peroroncino."
Peroroncino urged her with a somewhat tired voice.
In fact, Peroroncino-sama was just as dangerous as Momonga-sama and Ulberto-sama...
If you mess with Nazarick or Peroroncino-sama's favorites, Gay Bow will breathe fire!
