The hall darkened instantly, Astaroth raised his aura at a stage that no ordinary human could ever feel. Me and the parties are like ordinary people here. This gripping feeling made me realize what it was like to have an alliance war in the past, against monsters like him.
“Al... I feel a bad feeling about this!”
In the party there is nothing crazy to not be aware of their differences very clearly and consciously accordingly. Yohan suppressed herself as much as possible despite my excellent mental reduction, but did not hide the fact that she was trembling.
Watching Yohan, I looked around and started Heros until Veronica they had the same pale expression.
[When the sun goes down at night will bless those who are hiding. The party I prepared was in vain. Yeah, I was expecting this to happen and no problem.]
The flapping of the black wings lowered the volume of its wideness. The hot reddened face of Astaroth was exactly like the woman who had gulped down several bottles of alcohol into allure.
Even more strangely there was fog around his body... It was more like a thin pheromone that accidentally came out of its fragrant scent.
As the scent smelled in my nostrils, a sweet and original taste gently bound my nose.
Immediately after that I was as if enamored by the gripping consciousness and tried to get out of the illusion.
“All strengthen your awareness!”
And at the moment everyone shouted straight at their minds back.
“What I just saw..”.
“Can the illusion look that real?”
Unknowingly they could see their death before they could feel it.
Astaroth sat on the throne raising his left leg and looking down here with his head resting on his hands.
[Actually my arrival here was to mess with the Dwarves. Because I felt a strange power I had to change plans. I also don't know if there will be many things I can find here.].
And then he was no longer interested in July and pointed his finger in the other direction.
[...Including you. Energy is a threat.]
That's my!
[I wanted to see who had this energy and I didn't think it was a sweet little boy. It just makes me excited.]
The face that stared at its prey showed fangs that were ready to bite it. More than that, not just a desire that can be satisfied easily. He could more than let go of his passion and curiosity here.
Inside me was a feeling so intense. I'm sure it's not mine, it's as if it wants to rebel out.
‘...Gabriel?’
Wh why? Why the feeling Gabriel felt could be mine. He should have slept.
I immediately looked for the cause and found the reason this feeling was so strong.
“Veronica?”
I simply muttered that name. Veronica's sharp expression was strong and filled with deep anger made me goosebumps and I knew this was not fear. He was not affected by ‘Tipuan’ from Astaroth's illusion because he was Prophet Gabriel. But, not in spite of it he had seen something from the illusion earlier.
“Small pieces... I'll go forward.”
“What?”
Raise his sword up and his feet are ready in position. A powerful stomp dived the ground and Veronica darted forward with a swift running motion.
“Wait—!”
It was too late to say and I knew. So I helped support behind by extending my hand. Veronica's sword blade was enveloped in a thick layer of holy power energy.
Tsu-sususut!
[Little insects.].
There was no way the powerful figure seemed to be unaware of it. Veronica who jumped at the closest point of Astaroth's point of view swung the sword backwards and twisted her arms vigorously, that vertical force was about to slash the woman's demon neck.
“Mati.”
Sparking a silent explosion, the light from Veronica's sword caused damage around Astaroth's throne. Had it been if it was a powerful attack that could be given then it would have left behind a beam of wounds.
No. gabe. Astaroth casually accepted the attack and let the palm that was holding back Veronica's attack undergo a thin skin tear.
Fresh blood flowed from that right palm.
“Cih.”
Quickly realizing if it was ineffective Veronica jumped up and immediately moved away from him.
[Hm... It's been a long time since I've been hurt like this.].
A murmur that everyone could hear. It did not rebel at all or show strong emotions towards the enemy he was about to kill. He looked at his injured hand as if he saw a diamond there. More precisely was a gem, a red liquid as red as a gem of Ruby stone was in his palm.
Astaroth smiled faintly looking at his blood and stuck his tongue out, surprising him again he licked his blood like drinking a mouthful of beer.
We who see do not feel disgusted, but feel the bad habits of monsters like this.
After he finished licking his hand so erotically, the blood-stained lips were like a crimson lipstick grinning happily.
[Aah... How fresh. I thank you for taking this thirst away. But, how yes... It's still less.]
There was a small laugh on him that was now filled with passionate feelings. Somehow saying so, he seemed more thirsty than before.
‘It's bad.’
No more playing what Astaroth shows. Now it seems like a premonition about the changing scenario is about to happen.
“We attack him.”
“Keep out everything you have and don't let him take a chance!”
“Ya!”
Just as everything was about to move forward, an answer came from Astaroth's mouth surprisingly and made it stop moving.
[Can't be like that. At least I want to play with you guys a little longer. If you surround me like this this won't last long. So, how about this.].
Suddenly the ground shook abnormally strongly and the hall was rattled by the pressure rising upward with a rumble that resembled a landslide.
Our vigilance increased to the point where we were not at all allowed to let our guard down.
Then we realized. Astaroth's throne was destroyed and he was already above the ceiling of the hall with both wings. The origin of the ground shock can also be ascertained and is not wrong anymore.
The faces of the parties paled at that very second they saw this phenomenon.
“Is that a monster?”
“T-impossible?”
From the beginning it was strange that there was a throne occupied by Astaroth to sit like floating in the air. It was because the hall was so dark behind him that we could not clearly see what was hidden behind his back all this time.
The scales were very thick, the skin was long like a silver slab, and the monster squirming on the ground the cause of the ground shaking was him.
“What's a big deal?”
When his head hit the sky wall the snake hissed strongly.
- Saaah!!
Its size was more than 50 meters and its body size was almost making the crowded hall in the middle of this.
When my eyes opened the assessment of the snake's mark it could be clearly ascertained:
[Disaster of Serpents]
[———Pet of Demon Queen - Gorgon Snake———]
Higher danger comes up again with a sign that cannot be predicted.
[Come, Gorgon, take the princess with you. Now I don't care if you destroy the Dwarves.]
The Gorgon snake that had bone horns looming over its head began to lower its head and wriggle on the ground over Astaroth's sweet but cruel whisper, then how terrifying his movements were so fast despite his huge body and ramming July.
“July!!”
If it wasn't for him protecting himself with the tendrils shrouding his body, perhaps July would have been hurt. The Gorgon snake tried hard to push July with its head and out of the hall.
[This switch... He was trying to keep me away from the others!?]
Just at that time July was no longer seen and was taken with the Gorgon snake away.
[Because if he's here it's going to get harder and harder and I can't play with you guys. So I kept him a little bit away from this place. Haa... I felt guilty for inviting him.]
Obviously he was very provoking with his scheming. The grin did not reflect any feelings of guilt at all but was very happy to be able to keep away the biggest problem for him.
July's existence here could change the course of this fight since the two of them were old existences. I'm sure that July can beat him. But now July...
It was as if everything had been predicted by Astaroth.
I gritted my teeth very irritatedly.
My speculation was destroyed so easily.
[Hm... I don't think this is enough. Well, then this is how.]
“Eh?”
From the sky, not since when it came. The shadow of the figure was very fast and the twinkling of an eye passed through my gaze and the form was very large as well.
“Kugh!”
“Sial!”
By the time I turned around, Yohan and Heros were being carried by a giant bat-like creature using its paws.
“Hyung!”
I can't let those monsters take them away and bring out my strength to the maximum. Taking out root tendrils from the ground and shooting out light swords all around me.
Srarararat!!
Astaroth deliberately blocked the attack that came at the bat and prevented it by taking its own impact.
“Veronica!”
Using the [Speed Reverse] he passed Astaroth and floated in the air with a sword ready to stick itself on the back of a bat monster. But, unlucky Veronica's attack hit another iron and bounced.
Only with a flick of a finger did the hall door close tightly and Yohan and Heros were taken away by the monster.
“Sial!”
Curse me with a sharp look at Astaroth as he grinned towards me.
“I'll kill you if you hurt my brother.”
[Let's play, little boy destined by a cruel world.]
With a gloomy tone the world in the hall changed completely. Between winning and losing, now everything can not be ascertained anymore.
