“…Huh? Ah, come to think of it, I did hear that the goddess that humans serve had chosen a new hero, but it seems
that it was true. Now that I see it, the divinity imbued in the holy sword doesn’t seem to be functioning properly
either.”
At Leo’s words, Regulus, who was dumbfounded, soon blinked as if he had forgotten that Leo was no longer a hero,
and then let out a small laugh.
“Do you really think those brats can replace you? Unlike you, a veteran swordsman, I can easily kill that newly born
hero right now.”
“Really? Then try to kill him.”
Unlike his words, Regulus would not be unaware that Leo’s tone was filled with poison.
The sharp blade of the sword glitters as it reflects the sunlight shining through the roof that has been half blown away.
A clumsy provocation is rather poisonous in this situation.
Regulus knows that too, so he touches the tip of the holy sword that came close to his neck again with his finger and
looks over us, saying.
“I will retreat today. This stage is too small to fight you seriously.”
Sizzle.
As if to punish the demon who dared to touch the holy sword, Regulus’s fingertips burn.
Seeing that, Regulus removed his burning finger from the holy sword and continued.
“My life is precious, too. And if I eat the most delicious meal in a place like this, Rose and the Boss will scold me. I
don’t want to be scolded by them, so it’s better for you and me to retreat here.”
“From earlier, I don’t care what you’re talking about alone. Who said we’d let you go as you please?”
Irina, who aimed her bow at Regulus’s heart, not his forehead, raised one corner of her mouth.
“Where is there a hunter who lets go of a prey that has been bitten once?”
“Ancient demon. If a demon like you, which is now considered a legend, starts a war, it would be an act of not defiling
the name of the goddess to kill you as soon as possible.”
“Oh? Chloe is also motivated today. That’s right, there are only two ancient demons left anyway, right? One is… well,
it’s a bit complicated, but if we kill that demon, our morale will rise a little.”
Right? Mr. Demon. Irina asked with a mischievous smile.
Of course, the bow is still aimed at the heart.
Then, Regulus, who blinked a few times, looked at Leo’s holy sword once and shrugged slightly.
“Scary young ladies. If you set a target once, you’ll hit it without fail, with an elf’s arrow and holy magic that erases
the existence of the opponent, you’re making such a terrifying joke. In the first place, I’m about to have my neck cut
off right now, don’t you think it’s too much?”
“The one who’s really pitiful right now is not you, but the real emperor’s messenger.”
“…Oh, dear.”
“Leticia, I know you’re excited, but suppress your mana. I’m already overwhelmed by the mana that that guy Regulus
is emitting, and Chloe and Leo’s divinity are filling this space, so that guy fainted because he couldn’t handle it.”
And it’s too much pressure for an ordinary person to handle.
I looked at the emperor’s messenger, who had fainted with his eyes rolled back, as if he were pitiful, and then focused
on Regulus again.
That guy is emitting dangerous and ominous mana as if it’s nothing…
The reason why Leo couldn’t cut off his head was probably because he couldn’t be sure that he could cut it off, not
because he wouldn’t.
If he could cut off his head right away, he would have dropped that head before he could even speak.
It was because that ancient demon was an impossible existence to capture alive, rather than not cutting it off for the sake of capture.
There was only the option to kill him from the beginning, but would Regulus not know that?
At that time, Irina looked at the sword that had stopped in front of Regulus’s neck and asked in a puzzled tone.
“Leo? You can just cut that guy off, right?”
“….”
“Irina, wait a minute. Leo, why are youㅡ.”
“Both of you, please be quiet for a moment.”
I looked at the cold sweat beading on Leo’s forehead once, and Regulus, who was smiling suspiciously, once.
Was it because he was conscious of my gaze, Regulus, who was looking at Leo in front of him and smiling
suspiciously, put his hand on his chin and opened his mouth.
“Hmm. As I said before, I want to avoid fighting you here, but can’t you let me go just this once? It’s something that
neither you nor I want to shed unnecessary blood. Don’t you think so, Cyclamen.”
He told me to call him Charlotte, but now he’s calling me by my last name.
It feels more unpleasant to be called by my last name for some reason.
I felt a little bit like I understood why a magician in a certain worldview was angry at being called by his family name.
It’s not a good feeling to be called by the last name of my enemy.
“Just call me Charlotte. It feels worse to be called by my last name.”
“You’re strict.”
“Hmph. You’re so confident. You might be the one to bleed. You’re not so stupid as to not understand the situation
now. You don’t seem like a fake like a clone, so what’s your confidence?”
My Demonic Eye tells me.
He’s not a clone or anything.
I’m sure it’s his real body.
I squinted, seeing the subtle flow of mana.
There’s no way a clone or something would have such a brutal amount of mana in its body.
It feels like the mana that’s about to explode is forcibly trapped in the body.
Rose Cyclamen and that demon named Regulus, are ancient demons all monsters?
No.
Rather, are they monsters because they survived that war?
Well, it would have been impossible to survive in a battlefield where hundreds of gods were rampaging unless they
were monsters.
I made eye contact with Regulus at that moment.
At his curved lips, my face hardened.
“Well, yes, you’re not wrong, but I’m not as strong as Rose Cyclamen. That woman has piled up dozens of corpses of
ancient gods. If she, whom you faced last time, had fought seriously, neither you nor the sage would be here.”
Regulus, who asks lightly, saying that you know Rose Cyclamen’s strength well.
I lightly wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand.
Regulus seemed to notice.
That I am not the ‘real’ Charlotte Cyclamen.
Then, it doesn’t make sense that Rose Cyclamen doesn’t notice who I am.
“Well, don’t be too wary. I don’t know what Rose is thinking, but I, like you, have special eyes.”
The reason why he calls the current demons inferior races.
At the appearance of Regulus, who smiles, narrowing his red-shining pupils, I twisted my lips in the same way.
If the opponent had immediately lowered his tail because he was stronger than himself, the alias of Heavenly Demon
would not have been attached.
Well, when I had a cheat body, there were almost no enemies stronger than me.
“I’m sorry about this. I know you’re strong, right? Still, my intuition is screaming. It seems like something very big
will happen if I let you go here.”
“I agree.”
“I agree.”
“The Goddess wishes for your death. So die in this place now, demon.”
“Oh. It’s been a long time since everyone agreed like this. Haha. But won’t it be a big deal if I run wild here? If things
go wrong, the Imperial capital will be in danger.”
“It’s uncharacteristic of Irina to say something so rational.”
“What?!”
That’s right.
As she said, this is one of the central parts of the Empire.
Didn’t the roof fly off with just one of Leticia’s magic spells a while ago?
If we fight Regulus here, as Regulus said, both sides, or only one side, will suffer great damage.
And the one who suffers the most damage will be us.
That guy has nothing to lose even if he rampages here.
It’s rather a gain if he destroys this place.
Even if we are not seriously injured, if the Imperial capital is damaged, it was no different from losing.
So Regulus warned.
Let’s get along nicely.
There’s no need to shed unnecessary blood.
Howeverㅡ. I glared at him with my eyes wide open.
“You’re so suspicious, you. There are types of villains, but suspicious and vile-looking guys like you are always behind big things.”
Someone said.
Squinty-eyed characters come with strength and suspicion.
That guy was like that.
“Besides, you knew where we were meeting. Whether you have ears in the Empire or not, there’s a high probability
that you know unfavorable information to us… So die here.”
“How scary. Are you going to kill me just for that reason? Can you do it?”
“…Well. I don’t know. It’s the third time I’ve seen a monster like you.”
At the end of those words, I concentrated on the blood flowing throughout my body.
My pupils constrict and my breathing becomes rapid.
The elation and omnipotence of blood flowing throughout the body.
The soul of Damian Radius reacts to the body of Charlotte Cyclamen.
At that, the voice of the system was heard in my ears.
[Approval. Charlotte Cyclamen’s body is agitated by the soul of Damian Radius. The body of Charlotte Cyclamen
cannot accept the soul with the level of transcendence. Failure…… Temporarily lowering the level of the soul.
Confirmation. Temporarily borrowing the power of Damian Radius. Success. Charlotte Cyclamen’s power increases
dramatically.]
[The skill Demonic Change reacts. The vampire’s vengeful spirit sheds the human shell. All stats of Charlotte
Cyclamen increase.]
I couldn’t hear the system’s voice any more.
And at the same time as the system’s words ended, dark red lightning began to spark in all directions around my body.
I felt a momentary change and thought to myself.
So, that’s it.
Borrowing the power of the main character with a sub-character.
