40 Episode 40 "Activate!" High-speed reconstruction (quick structure) "(Handling precautions).txt (1/2)

In front of Iris's eyes, the soldier on guard collapsed.

The floor is stained with blood.

This is the parlor of Iris's villa. It was the place where she had met with Nagi and the others during the day.

Iris bit her lip to stifle a scream.

The regular soldiers are fighting so hard.

Iris couldn't afford to upset them all.

''You are the one who controlled the 'Black Armor (Living Mail)'!

Iris asks the ”enemy” who is fighting the soldiers.

The Enemy flies through the air on bat wings and bursts in through a window.

He is wearing a black cloak over his body. All that can be seen is his face and limbs.

Bat wings sprouted from his back. From behind his ears, twisted horns.

Iris doesn't know of anything that looks like this.

'I am a demon.'

With a grim, wide gaping mouth, the 'enemy' said.

'I am the one who has powers you have never known and who will lead the world into a new form.

The demon's dagger digs into the neck of the regular soldier.

Blood gushed out from the soldier whose carotid artery had been severed.

The soldier's movements were strange. Their reactions and movements were unusually slow.

When approaching the demon, the soldier's movements slowed down, as if he had entered the water.

Is that his special ability?

''Then let's ask the demon one. What is your objective!''

Iris raised her voice.

'What I desire is the blood of a sea dragon priestess.

The demon scooped the soldier's blood with the palm of his hand and licked it.

He didn't like the taste of it and spat it out with a peck.

'I have heard that the Sea Dragon Priestess is the diameter descendant of the Daughter of the Sea Dragon. Iris-Hapheumea is the one with the blood of the Old Gods. That blood is of value to us. Hence, we will take the whole body.

The demon averted his throat and laughed with a kaka.

'I will use thy blood and flesh to create more powerful magical creatures.

...... magical creatures?

''The 'Black Armor' is an experiment. Anyone with the blood of a sea dragon can do something higher.

What can I do with it?

”Thou shalt not know it, but thy name shall go down in history as a contributor to world peace. But thou shalt go down in history as a contributor to world peace.

Deeply curious, the demon turned his head.

His neck, level with his shoulders, laughed with a teasing smile.

There are only three more regular soldiers left to survive.

Matilda is shouting. 'What are you doing!　This quarter's assessment is at the end of the month!　For those who have made it to that point, there's a promotion and a vacation waiting for them.

I almost laugh at this moment. I can't believe I'm on vacation next month when death is right in front of me.

I see, I'm going to die here.

Nope. There are worse fates than death.

Iris closed her eyes. She murmured. 'Mr. Souma: ......'

Are you ready, Daughter of the Sea Dragon?

The demon grabbed the soldier by the chin and slammed him against the wall.

Cracks appear in the brick wall. The soldier's body collapses.

”Despair. I am the demon ...... Yes, let's call myself the successor of the demon race. I am the one that transcends man. I'm the one who creates new life through different abilities. I'm the one who will change the world beyond the Demon King. That is the demon race. That's right, I am the demon race!

”Shut up, fake ──────────!

through-and-through

The brick wall has been blown off.

”Killing it!　”Building Slamming Lv 1!

Standing behind the large hole in the wall was the beast girl, Rita-Melpheus.

It was one of Iris's benefactors.

”Wha-what ...... thou ...... didst know I was a demon race...

Shut up!　Take that!　The 'Building Strong Strike LV1' that Nagi gave me!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Rita continues to punch the wall. One by one, chunks of bricks fly towards the demon one.

The chunks of bricks flying with great force slow down near the demon one. The demon one easily avoids it. He raises his sword and starts running towards Rita.

''Honono, yah!''

A flaming arrow that flew through the gap in the brick crossed the demon one's path.

The demon one reflexively stops and flies backwards to avoid the flaming arrows.

Iris couldn't help but look for the owner of the voice.

There it was.

A tiny dark elf crawled along the ground to avoid hitting the bricks.

He must be the wizard Souma-sama had mentioned.

I couldn't stop crying.

He said he wasn't feeling well, but he forced himself to help Iris .......

''I was pissed off because the regular staff made fun of me, so I came to punch the wall in the haraise - this is a message from Nagi-sama.

...... Huh?

I was in a good mood and relaxed with my friend Slave Plus, but because of a soldier who was not a regular employee of yours - a soldier who was not a regular employee of yours - I suffered mental anguish. In fact, to tell the truth, I was almost cut up. It seems that the maid was also pulling the strings behind the scenes' - that's the end of Nagi's message.

I came to say 'kerum' about that matter. Nagi-sama told me that I should get a 'trinket' (something trivial) to show her apology. As a sign that it would not happen again.

”You're hurting the Souma?　Matilda, what have you done?

Iris looked at the maid beside her. She was down.

Come to think of it, when Rita-Melpheus jumped in, she was so startled that she fainted.

The story is after all that. For now, let's do what we can to survive.

'Rita!　Be careful. The demons there have set up strange wards around them!

Iris clenched her fists and shouted at Rita.

'I know!　What is wrong with you?　If you get close enough, your movements will slow down...?

Rita's kick was dodged by the ”Demon One”.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say.

But when you get close to the ”demon person”, your movement slows down.

It's as if a 'slow' spell is being cast on the space.

''Let's dedicate a song~''

A beautiful voice flows out of Rita's mouth. At the same time, Rita's movements become faster.

And yet, the attack doesn't hit the demon one.

You're not really a demon, are you?　Who are you?

Rita asks while just barely avoiding the demon one's sword.

''Master said. He said there's no such 'Chuunibyo' demon race!　He said it was human to dress in such an embarrassing way!　Isn't that right!

Do I have to answer to you, beast?

The wings on the demon's back changed.

The wings of the bat extend and change into two sharp blades.

The deformed blades attacked Rita, who had just dodged the dagger of the ”demon one”.

''Tch!''

Rita crosses her arms with her 'Divine Power' and receives it.

Impact. Her thin body is sent flying.

Rita, who was sent to the edge of the wall, spins around in the air and manages to land on her feet.

But there is no escape behind her. She's trapped.

'So?　Now you're gonna spit fire out of your mouth?　Are you going to send lightning from the horns?

Even so, Rita smiled wryly.

It's not normal to deceive a demon. Are you not a puppet bound by a 'contract' to a great man?　This 'chuunibia'!

At Rita's words, the demon one's lips twitched.

'I am the One of the Demons. I am doing what I need to do. Don't call me a neuter!

'Hmm. By the way, what do you mean by 'chuuni-bias'?　I don't know, and neither does Cecil-chan.

My master taught me.

My master told me. My master told me that if you respond to these words, it means you are a visitor. These are the words of my master's world, and this world has no counterpart. So we don't know what it means to us.

In other words, you who know the meaning of 'chuuni-biyo' are not from this world.

It doesn't matter if it's my or not!　What do you know about me?

The demon's lines are interrupted.

It's as if they've made a contract with him to not be able to say certain words.

”I was called by - I was supposed to be called by - I was supposed to be a hero!　but was thrown out as a failure. I will be recognized again by ──── and I will be brave again. If I deliver my work, they'll accept me because I'm the best at what I do!　In the meantime, borrowing the name of the demon race for a bit shouldn't bother anyone!

''Don't be silly!''

Rita spat out.

''You're causing trouble for your master, Cecil-chan, and Iris-chan!　”Don't wield your boring power with selfish logic!

My power is to save the world!　How can I be unworthy of being disrespected?　I'll be recognized by the gods once again and become a hero. For that, I will drink the blood of the sea dragon. And for the sake of this world!

I don't care about that. You're a pain in the ass!

”So says the man in a corner. You're the one to die!

The demon raises his sword.

'I will not die, my dear. As long as my master needs me.'

Rita laughs. She dodges the demon one's sword and flies right to the side.

'Master, I have guided you as you ordered. The rest is at your will.''

Thanks, Rita.

In front of the demon's eyes, the wall shattered.

''From the 'Building Battering Lv 1'...''

Nagi's voice echoes through the parlor.

A black blade appears from the hole in the wall.

”...──'Delayed Combat (Delayed Arts) Lv 1'!

The black blade became enormous.

The demon opens its golden eyes.

A stab through the wall. A strike by the demon sword Leggy that accumulated 14 thrusts.

All of Rita's words are meant to guide the demon one to this position. The demon tribe is in a stance where the sword is swept away. At this distance, there is no way to avoid the huge demon sword Leggy.

''Guaaaaaahhhh!

The Demon One's right arm was pierced by the jet-black blade, and the Demon One's right arm was blown off.

''Self-proclaimed 'Demon One'

Race: Human

Unique Skills: 'Synthesis' and 'Slow Field'

The status of the enemy is reflected in the window of my ”Fast Analysis LV1” skill.

The surprise attack was successful.

High Speed Analysis Lv 1 shows a status window around my opponent.

Therefore, I can see the exact location of Rita and the fake demon tribe by looking at the window.

All I had to do now was to time it and release ”Delayed Combat Lv 1”.

If the opponent is going to slow us down, we just need to make our attack range so wide that we can't avoid them.

”I knew this guy was a 'visitor'.

The status of the self-proclaimed demon race is shown in the ”Fast Analysis” window.

It seems that ”Synthesis” is a skill that allows you to create a chimera from the dead or dying.

The contents of the black armor were created using the Synthesis skill. The ghosts we fought are probably the souls of the people who were used to make them. They were turned into chimeras and drifting about because they couldn't make it to the top.

The Slow Domain slows down anything that comes within a few meters of this thing. It's a skill that slows down space, so to speak.

Both are cheat skills. So it's still ”The Visitor”.

I closed the 'High Speed Analysis Lv 1' window.

The fake demon tribe is still moving.
