[éāě∮?⊥?āě∞!]
He slammed his knuckles into the torso of the chimera, but at the same time, the scales in that area shot out, injuring Onza.
“This guy’s strength is outrageous!”
The enemy who fought Onza’s Master would have had the same impression.
Unlike Yurushia, who had acquired an impossible power by chance, luck, and sheer mental strength, Onza was, for better or worse, ordinary.
But ordinary fighters had ordinary ways of fighting. Onza used his foresight to avoid the flying scales,
“Here it is!”
He would strike the weak spot with a knuckle to the head from behind, the correct way to attack. But…
“Nah!”
At that moment, whether intended or not, the face of the human part changed its position and turned a sad-looking face toward Onza.
[āě∮?⊥?āě∞??āゝé∞?āヾゞ∞?ー々ヽ⊿ゞ〃〃?éěゞ〃!!]
“Guhoh!”
At that moment, Onza’s body was hit from all sides by what looked like a shock wave, and he was blown away.
Looking over, the person from Silver Church, who had been knocked down by Onza, got up and attacked him. But that is not accurate in a sense.
They were connected to a tentacle-like thing that extended from Chimera on their backs, and they changed from human form to that of Chimera, a smaller frog, before I could see them.
“I screwed up…”
Onza blurted out as he looked at the approaching group of Chimera, who had collapsed from the impact and were unable to move.
Is this the end? Perhaps it is because he has become a demon, or perhaps it is because of his previous life, but he has no fear of death.
However, he honestly felt frustrated that he could not protect the girl he had sworn to protect, and that he would die as a demon without being of any use to her.
If he had really lived like a demon, would he not have been exposed to such an abomination? If I had lived my life like a devil, would I have been able to avenge her death?
“I’m sorry, Young Lady.”
He wanted to see that free Golden Girl for the last time.
Yes, that’s right. She was, above all, liberated. Perhaps it was demon-like to say so, but something about her seemed fundamentally different from his own.
At that moment, the girl’s words, which he had not been listening to, suddenly came to Onza’s mind.
[To be a Demon is, you know, to be the most free of all.]
“I see…”
He had mistaken the meaning of the word. This was the first time he knew what the word meant.
He thought it was to be capable of any atrocious thing, like how Demons have been portrayed. But no. She was different. In the truest sense of the word, she was free. There was no right or wrong in front of her.
“…There is no more need to pretend, no more need to suppress.”
[ゝé∞?āヾゞ〃〃?éāě∮?⊥?āě∞??āěゞ〃∞?ー々ヽ⊿ゞ!!]
The shockwave caused by the Chimera swept away the place where Onza had been.
The cobblestones and earth were gouged by the simultaneous attack of the Chimera, which was different from the previous one, and craters were formed.
[ゝāě∮āě〃]
Just as the Chimera and its splits were about to head for Ester, they let out a single cry…
Hyun!!!
[é〃?〃?éā?⊥?ゞ!]
Suddenly, in the midst of their attack, one of the splits exploded.
[ゝé∞?āヾ??āěゞ〃∞?ーゞ!?]
In the next instant, this time, one of the splits on the opposite side of the group shattered.
[āě∮?⊥?āě∞??āゝé∞?āヾゞ∞?ー々ヽ⊿ゞ〃〃?éěゞ〃!!!!]
Understanding that it was under attack, the Chimera shot shockwaves and sharp scales in all directions.
Trees were shattered, the earth was gouged, and the outer walls of buildings were broken. After a few seconds of simultaneous bombardment, a single shockwave was released towards the only place where there was little damage from the destruction, but the shockwave shifted as if deflected by something and was swept up to the clouds in the sky.
A small shadow stood on from that place.
There was a small rabbit, only about 50 centimeters long, facing Chimera and its splits with its arms crossed, as if it were proud of itself.
But it was different from before. A huge amount of “Pressure” that cloaked its body. A golden crown spinning on its head.
Here, [Arc Demon] Laplace, freed from the framework of common sense, finally appeared in the human world.
