Legend of the Devil Fox
018
At a time of despair, the old Marko was never seen.
"Hi Anza I'll help you open a little gap in this protector"
"How is it? " ask anza
"I will use the rest of my strength to open this protector so calm down" he then ran towards the protector and penetrated it but he then disappeared.
" Marko thank you"
There are two days left.
Aki was still a bit far away, but the Tree was already seen close by my sight. I ran towards him.
Other than the moss covering the area and the Tree itself, I did not detect any other signs of life. After a while, I reached one of the roots of the Tree, the money was so big in thickness.
I'm already here. After all this time, it's finally here. My real body is waiting for me. After all, I've risked all my hopes for this.
I slowly touched the roots of the tree.
…Nothing happened? Maybe I need to do something? Or maybe the roots won't work, and should go even further? But then -
“――――world――――wait―――――――――――――lift―――――life―――――――”<TAG1> soul<TAG1><TAG1><TAG1>
A massive stream of information flowed into my mind. I almost fainted.
This is ... will of the World Tree? It was not a matter of language or intelligence; his thought process was too foreign to human understanding.
If I didn't have the same crazy experience of processing information since I started 'Game', the Tree could really burn my brain right then and there.
I process the great sound of the World Tree. Slowly but surely, we communicate.
I'm not sure how long, but it must be long enough. As I understood his words, the truth of this world was revealed to me.
"…Yes. That's [Contract], then. Between you and me. Between the World Tree and the devil.”.

in the lab:
“... slight fluctuation in brain activity No. 13!” A staff member reported.
Audrey lifted her head and said. "Could it…?"
"Show! It's all thanks to me! I know wetting it and electrocuting it will work!” Said the orphanage supervisor proudly.
Only No. 13 remained. All the other alpha testers had already pulled the plugs.
The white girl lay unconscious, outside the suspended animation capsule . Dozens of electrode rods pierced his flesh. A horrible sight like no other.
"Vital signs no-13 ..huh?”
“Something went wrong..”
"What's going on…?"
Slight signs of brain activity No. 13 suddenly add up senselessly at once.
Audrey and the watchwoman looked towards the white girl. As everyone in the room turned their attention to him, No. 13's body quickly began to lose color.
And crumbled into a pile of salt.
The unthinkable sight stunned the staff members into silence. Meanwhile, the bodies of the other children waiting for Annihilation also followed, turning into piles of salt one after another. The previously bright room darkened in an instant, as if light was engulfed in darkness. Inside the cold room that crawled the skin, a faint sound reached their ears. The voice of a girl.
"…I'm back…"
_______________________________________________
I was an unwanted child.
My earliest memory was the quarrel between my so-called "parents.
They looked at me with cynical eyes. They took every problem and dissatisfaction out on me. They always scream. The man called me a landscape destroyer every time he saw me, telling me to shut up every time I cried.
How many times he kicked me, I don't remember. nor can I remember the number of punches that woman gave me, even as she yelled, “You should never have been born!”
The lebab was spread all over my skin. Every morning, I get one hard loaf to last all day.
Every few days, I have the opportunity to wash myself with the rest of the bath water. They threw me on the porch at night, I would curl up and sleep in whatever empty place I could find among the piles of trash outside the house.
Without realizing it, the man was no longer home. The woman, starting to go crazy and her cruel heart, called me “Devil” as her last words to me. The last thing I saw from him was an evil smile as his hand clasped his neck. When I came to, I was in a white hospital room. I was fed a decent warm meal for the first time.
But at that time I spewed it all out because I was not used to it.
I rarely talk, laugh, or even cry. No one would like a child like that. The adults of the orphanage always hit me first before speaking. They'll take my food, lock me in the shed until morning, and they call it “kedisplinan”.
Is it my fault for being treated like this?

“Audrey, what happened there? No 13 has a response, right? Let's quickly explain!”
An audio-visual VR device cannot share any data that has not been digitized. Jhon, at the 7th research center, was unable to see what was happening at the collection facility. Audrey and the staff members heard her voice.
But no one can speak. The unnatural sight they saw and the cold presence they felt had left them glued to the spot.
No. 13 lay there, outside the capsule suspended animation and connected to various machines. His body was bleached, as if the color was sucked out of it, and it ended up crumbling into a pile of salt.
As if in response, the other twenty alpha testing bodies inside their capsules followed and shattered into salt.
The voice of a girl was faint but it sounded in the ears of everyone who was there.
"…I'm back…"
A glowing white ball that glowed gently rose from the pile of No salt. 13. The salt flew and swirled around the sphere, forming something like a human body.
Pyarrr!
The sound of broken glass was heard throughout the room. Of the other twenty capsules, salt slipped through the newly formed crevices and danced around the human shadow. They gathered together, forming a clearer face.
Smooth white leather, like porcelain.
Snow-white curly hair hung on the shoulder, and sticking out of the lock were two equally white long ears.
His eyes slowly opened, revealing two blood-red eyeballs.
She floated in the air, her beautiful body plastered for all. Then bloody liquid stains begin to form, staining the pure whiteness. The liquid turned into a deep red dress with a black coat and a quilted mini skirt. Black stockings with slight red color, red high heels, and red gloves with sharp claws complement the Set.
What a scary Fox Girl.
As the girl freely spread out her hands, twenty balls of light gathered towards her. He gently hugged them to his chest.
Jhon's voice involuntarily cut through the fantastic spectacle, bringing the occupants of the room back to their own minds.
Hearing that voice, the white girl finally turned her gaze to them. His red eyes narrowed into a cold gaze.
An electrode rod is clanging on the floor.
"…why?"
Their minds could not grasp reality for a moment. Between one blink of an eye to the next, the white girl's kick had removed the orphanage's watchdog's left arm. The tagan was crushed into dust.
“...aa...aaaaAAAAHHH!?”
the ladder froze. Although there was no pain or bleeding, the woman was still screaming in fear of seeing her own arm come off. As he held the wound with his right hand, frost spread to his fingers. They were crushed, triggering another scream.
“AAAAAAARRGGHH!!”
As the frightened woman wriggled on the floor, shouting all the time, the white girl picked up the electrode rod on the floor. He calmly approached, grabbed hold of the woman, and slowly pushed the stick into her ear.
“Aakh..gah..
The watchwoman twitched, once, twice, then finally lay still. The staff members could only watch with a terrifying kehenigan.
“...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!”
A woman was the first in the audience to react. The terror, which was no longer under control, appeared with a scream that could damage the throat.
With his voice, the other staff members finally returned to themselves. They sound the alarm.
“La..”
Some of them tried to escape through the exit, but in the blink of an eye, the girl was there. His claws wrapped in gloves tore their heads off.
The other staff members were running around in panic of their fear. The spray of mist from the girl turned him into a frozen statue in an instant. The statues fell and were destroyed.
The room temperature dropped sharply, turning the victims' breath into a white mist. Their clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
"Jagan's moving!"
The guards appeared, shouting warning signs. When they saw the massacre, they immediately shot the white girl.
dor's! dor's! dor's!
Their precision assesses the situation and makes the decision to shoot a girl who looks almost a teenager hints at their experience. Most likely, they were ex-mercenaries hired through contacts the company had in the defense industry.
Three guards stood in front. Running right behind them were five others. The bullet grazed the girl. He narrowed his eyes, then pointed his palm towards them and made a move to smash something in his hand. The eight guards suddenly fainted, blood spurting out from everywhere in their bodies.
What's he doing…?
Their wounds had nothing in common, neither in location nor in severity. More than half of them still take a breath. A man among them, one leg broken, was still trying to aim his weapon even as he groaned in pain. But his efforts were in vain; the meandering fog turned him and the surviving guards into ice sculptures.
"I gave permission to use a magic weapon!"
Jhon finally realizes something is wrong and connects to a surveillance camera inside the collection facility. He gave his orders.
The monster avatar is still in the experimental stage. However, the development of weapons with engraving spells to allow them to use mana was almost complete. The so-called "magitech weapon of the modern world" is almost ready to be used in real combat.
To make mana-sensitive materials, they needed to use a small amount of silver in close proximity to mana for nearly two years. As such, the resources available to manufacture the weapons were still limited, and the weapons themselves could not fire automatically due to the sheer amount of mana required for each attack. On the other hand, the magic engraved weapon had the range and power of an ordinary rifle despite firing a 9mm-sized bullet. Furthermore, the projectile is not affected by atmosphere or gravity. The world's first firearm with a straight bullet path like laser light.
A few minutes later, another group of guards arrived. They were holding strange-looking assault rifles.
The weapon itself is slender. Available at the bottom is a small container the size of a pencil case for a mana battery. If they could hand over the mana operated avatars here, they would have already done so. Unfortunately, the operating time is still too limited, perhaps because of the modern Earth's atmosphere, or perhaps because the Earth itself has no mana. Another avatar option is an old model that does not use mana, and this type can only show 70% of the physical abilities of a normal adult. In the end, corporations were forced to use real humans for this fight.
Although the power of weapons that use magic may be different, it does not change the fact that they are effective against spiritual life forms.
Currently, the facility had twenty such 'Magic weapons', including its reserves. Twelve guards and six staff members with shooting experience aimed eighteen guns at the girl.
"Shoot!!!"
Dor's! dor's! dor's!
Chairs and tables were smashed to pieces from the shot. As the smoke subsided everyone thought the girl would have the same fate ...
... He turned into a fog. The bullet passed through it without leaving a trace.
In their shock, the guards even forgot the existence of the weapon in their hands for a moment. A white mist blew towards them, and from inside, the girl jumped out. After the mist dissipated, all that was left was eighteen ice sculptures.
"…Who are you?!!"
Jhon's voice was heard from the CCTV device. The white girl looked at the camera connected to her vision, her fox ears swaying as if to say, "You've forgotten?" He pointed his palm at the camera and set it.
“...aaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! My leg! Kaaaaa-ku!”
Jhon, who should still be staying at the 7th research center, shouted.
He has forgotten. About the fact that in his childhood, he almost lost a foot in a traffic accident. Fortunately, the driver had stopped in time, and his injuries were not as severe as they should have been.
But back in the present, unfortunately, the driver did not stop in time.Sone of Jhon's legs was destroyed from his body.
A disconnection interrupted his echoing cry.
In a room that was cold enough that water could freeze, Audrey sat on the floor. His face was bluish, his lips purple, and he could not even muster up the courage to stand up.
"…Jagan.no 13..” whispered Audrey, her voice vibrating.
There is hardly anyone left alive. Hearing her whisper, the girl slowly turned around.
He approached with a heel that looked more like it was made to gouge meat than to be carried by a girl. The razor-sharp footsteps stopped in front of Audrey. The girl looked at his face.
“You recognize me?”
“Are you. 13? Why do you look like that? What did you do to the Deputy Director..?”
Hearing Audrey answer with just another question, No. 13. The white girl named Anza looked like a jagkel. Slowly he pulled her.
“Nothing, really. Besides ... well, you're enough. ”
"Aah!"
Shedy held Audrey up with one hand clutching the woman's neck.
“I should be back soon. I'm still not strong enough to stay here long. But remember this..”.
Audrey gulps. Their faces were only ten centimeters away. He thought he saw black flames blazing within the girl's eyes.
“I will be back, and will be much stronger by then. The devil will come back to kill you all.”
Anza dropped the woman to the ground. The girl casually turned around and disappeared, melting into the thick fog.
That day, the company learned of the existence of demons that would become their enemies.
