Snake demon, Yulan.
Not used to crawling on the ground or riding around in my hand, Yulan was telling Schiff what happened to Kite in a desperate manner.
"More so, a god beast..."
What Schiff spoke through Yulan was out of the ordinary track.
To sum it up succinctly, Kate is caught by the Divine Beast.
I'm not just being caught.
The god beast likes kite so much... no, he likes it so unusually.
The god beast can't even get close, can it be endlessly distant? Even the divine beast whose habitat is found has no life if it is just human interference.
The very story of clear contact between the divine beast and man in the first place, with the exception of Kate, does not exist.
"I didn't know Orochi was a warcraft created from a divine beast, just like Yulan... I can't hide my surprise that he's ever been so close"
Just a human being obsessed with the beast?
Even though contact with the Divine Beast is itself an unprecedented matter, it is too unusual.
Is there anything in kite that attracts godbeasts, apart from the magical powers of pure demons?
"When I grabbed Kite, was it because she was manipulating me?"
"Sha......"
"Don't apologize. Couldn't fight it, could you? Finally, your incredible behavior has fallen."
Yulan, wrapped around his hand, returns to me where he is slowly depressed.
"The last time you saw Kite was when Kite was caught by a god beast who looked like a man. … what did the god beast look like?"
"Shr, shah!"
"White-haired girl, huh?"
The humanization of the divine beast.
Creation of family members.
Think about how to act based on the current situation in which Kite is placed, while going crazy about information that you shouldn't have thought of when you were in the Demon King's Army.
"Schiff, Reefa. If Kate is imprisoned by the Divine Beast, it's hard to rescue him with his present power"
"... oh, if you touch the reverse scale, this one will definitely kill you. It would be best to retreat here, pass this information on to the castle, and work out measures."
Schiff nods at my words with a sad face.
But only Reefa goes straight down the stairs without stopping her legs.
Reefa, stop.
"Bring back Kite"
To Schiff's voice of restraint, Reefa returns a quiet voice that pushed her emotions to death.
Reckless.
No matter how brave Reefa is, he's only a man.
Compared to divine beasts, they would be different in character, but even in dimension.
"They're godbeasts, right?"
"So, what's up?"
Reefa turns this way.
The shadow, illuminated by the light of the pine lights and stained only half of his face in the dark, was showing a different shimmer than the light of the pine lights.
"They took away someone important. It doesn't matter if they're godbeasts, Kate definitely brings them back"
Words spoken away with a strong will.
Yulan, staring at her like that, goes to Reefa's when she gets out of my hand.
……?
"Sher!"
"I don't know the words, but I get it. Let's go together."
Lifting Yulan off the stairs, Riefa heads forward and down the stairs when she receives a pine light from the golem.
Schiff, who was staring at that figure, looked up at me like he had decided to.
"... Lord Illis"
"What?"
"That's it for you. All we have to do is move on."
"Huh? Are you...?"
"I, too, meant to be the same as Reefa.... There is no guarantee of life from here. We don't need to hang out with Lord Iris."
--Here it is.
This is my choice to make sure I can make it home safely.
If we go any further, there is a desperate development waiting for us to be relative to the Divine Beast.
If I choose to abandon Schiff and Reefa back, I can escape the ruins intact.
"... now what are you doing back alive...?"
It's not like there's anything better going on back in the Demon King's Army.
My real father - I don't have a face to make me see Verse, and I'm not going to see him.
Even though I've come this far, I've stuck around for a reason in my position as a demon king's army, and there's nothing left for me either way when I get back here.
Running small to them as they headed ahead.
"Schiff, Reefa. I'll follow you, too."
"But..."
"Never mind. Don't look away. Think of it as one more force."
"... thank you"
"Thank you, Illis"
Receive two words of gratitude.
At that time, I saw something like light at the end of the stairs that I didn't think I could see the end.
"Finally, you see the end of the stairs."
"Kite's presence is getting pretty close too...!"
Step down the stairs faster than earlier.
What I saw before I got down was as large a space as the upper level.
Unlike above, it would be embedded with something like a stone that emits enough light to illuminate its surroundings everywhere.
"I didn't know there was another hierarchy in such a deep place... anyway, let's keep searching"
"Oh, wait! I can hear footsteps from before!"
Alert forward to Reefa's uttered voice.
Clear your ears. Indeed, you can hear the footsteps of some shoe.
Yulan's god beast!?
I think so, and when I'm in a hurry - someone in white appears from the front aisle.
On a definite footing, Reefa, who saw the man coming this way, lowered the knife she had set up.
"... kite?"
It was Kate, the man who thought he was being caught by the Divine Beast, who came.
He was weaving something like a white cloak in the form of a shoulder, and the outfit he was wearing was not a bedtime outfit, and this was also dressed in an outfit reminiscent of a white based knight.
On his right hand he had an unusual lime to the shape of a sword, and above all his expression was invisible hidden in his forehead.
"Kite! You're safe!!"
Lurking about as much sword swallowing as just now, Riefa rushes with a full smile on her face.
Too, unnatural.
So is Kite's appearance alone in this situation, and most importantly, he's not responding to anything, even if he's in a position to see us.
"Reefa! Get close!!"
Schiff, who analyzed the information faster than anyone else, screams.
At that moment Reefa, who stopped at the voice, turned this way, and Kate, wrapped in golden light, waved the silver sword in her right hand at an unusual speed.
"Ca, it...?"
……
The sword of the horizontal giraffe wielded by Reefa's neck.
It is prevented by the magic of a scaly pattern that suddenly appears.
"Huh, Yulan!?"
"Shah, shah...!!"
The magic activated by Yulan, who was sometime traveling to Reefa's neck, causes Reefa, who gained a lifetime, to come back to us with a crying look.
"Shh, shh! Kite made me……!"
"I know! He and Lime are being manipulated...!"
When Kite, who pulled the sword back up, raises his face, his eyes carry a suspicious light.
I can't feel my will on him right now.
If so, it would mean that the Divine Beast has ruled my heart.
"Shiv, what do we do!"
"There will be no other way but to fight! The one who uses flesh strengthening at all costs is not someone he can fight with!! If he sucks, here's where he gets hit!! Besides, what he's wearing...!"
Reach behind the cape where kite reaches out from her left shoulder.
Then, when something like a white snake stretches out of his cape and fits into his hand - he turns into a pure white arrow.
"Hey, what's that gear..."
It is not a magic prop.
More primitive, biological nani?
When he deformed the lime in his left hand into a bow and placed an arrow on him, he pointed the arrow toward him.
