Episode 20: Hidden Intents / The True Intent of the Werewolf

Not long after the rebels scattered, Belle and Ashley were found on the cobblestones, a short distance from the sea.

While showing kindness, Ashley November never forgets her position as M-12.

Belle and Lili had faintly hoped that she would become an ally, but that never happened.

After all, Ashley was on the side of the Knights. For Gregorio, the leader of the Order, she is trying to prevent Belle from escaping.

You know I'm not going to go easy on you," said Belle with a wry smile. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get away with it. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most powerful black mages (Grigori) in the port of Breath River.

You're the one who, somewhere in the back of your mind, is wondering if I'll let you off the hook, aren't you? The face I've been showing you guys is a false face. Because ......," Ashley's mouth slowly slackens as she says this.

"Because?

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. It's a good thing that you're not a fan of this kind of thing.

'You mean ...... May May May?' Bell fearfully confirms the identity of "Mei-chan". Belle's face, which had been wondering why she hadn't heard from May May May, instantly became tense.

'Yes, I have.'

The moment she heard Ashley's words, May's smile flashed through Bell's mind. May was a woman with a strong sense of justice and an unwavering sense of kindness.

M-12 would eliminate traitors without mercy.

A fierce fire of anger swirls within Bell. It was anger at Ashley for leaving May dead, and at herself for not being able to do anything about it.

'I won't let you sacrifice anything or anyone else, not one thing. You can't stop me from doing my ministry," said Belle, as if to tell herself that she had a ministry to do. Without a doubt, the Ashley in front of me is a black mage (Grigori) strong enough to surpass her previous enemies. Even before the fight, Belle knew that.

I'm sure you'll be happy with the results. I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Even if you're a black thirteen, you're still a small part of this world. There is no way you can protect everything by yourself," Ashley said, her face more cool and collected than ever before.

'I'm here to stop you.

As Ashley put her hands on the ground, a large number of zombies crawled up from the ground.

The zombies crawled up and advanced towards Belle. It is a loyal servant that follows only Ashley's orders. Ashley's faithful servants emerged from the ground without end, one by one, approaching Belle.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of the best products in the market. The black magic (grimoire) also confirms her insanity.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them. The black blade held in her right hand is coated with a tremendous amount of heat.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do that. I'm sure you'll be able to do some damage to Ashley if you slay them in rapid succession.

Ashley smiles again, a maniacal grin on her face as she says, "You might recognize one of them. This was why I told you about May May May.

Having listened to the voice of the mind so far, Ashley knows how to make them upset and hesitant. Before she was a great black magician (Grigori), she was a brilliant schemer.

"You're dirty! Belle, who hates hurting her friends the most, naturally hesitates to attack. Belle was completely caught in Ashley's trap. If she continued to shy away, the zombies would eventually reach her.

Belle was checking each and every face of the oncoming zombies. Is there really a face there that Belle knows? It's quite possible that Ashley's line earlier was just a psychological operation.

'Oh, I can't just stand here in the ministry!

Shaking off her hesitation as she let out her breath, Belle went towards the oncoming crowd of zombies. As far as could be ascertained, there was no familiar face of Belle in the crowd of zombies. That was more than enough reason for Belle to abandon her hesitation.

Wielding a blazing blade, Belle slashed down the zombies one by one. I'm not going to be the only one who can do it. The zombies that have been touched by Arosha's fangs are blocked from moving by the fire.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea. You seem to have decided that my words are a lie, but what if they are true?

Even though Bell defeated the psychological strategy, Ashley remained cool. I guess it's called the margin of strength.

I don't mind. Even if there is a face in here that I know, if it's a zombie, it's not that guy anymore. Being a zombie means she can't come back to life. And my people would rather be cut down than be a liability to me.

Ashley's psychological tactics don't work on Belle anymore. Belle never stops.

It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this article. You will be able to get the most out of your time with the help of a good friend.

"What the hell are you talking about? Belle doesn't listen to Ashley's words and goes on slaying more and more zombies. Of course, Belle has no idea who Ashley's "beloved apprentice" is.

No matter how hard she slays them, new zombies continue to emerge from the ground incessantly, and there is no end in sight. There is no end to this. You can't get close to Ashley, no matter how much you slash and slash.

It was a bit hard on her dull body right after she left the hospital.

Ashley leisurely watches as Belle desperately slays the zombies.

Little by little, the zombies push Belle away from Ashley. If this is the case, Belle will be swallowed up by the crowd of zombies.

I'm going to have a full ministry," said Belle, rousing herself, letting her emotions power her and swinging her blade with all her might. The control of emotions is one of the most important factors for a possession (possession) contractor.

As the blade sliced through the zombie in front of him, an overflowing stream of kinetic fire shot out from its extension. The high-powered fire is trapped inside the blade.

It is a very precise and accurate aim, and the speed is very fast. Its aim is very precise and its speed is quite fast.

The fire approaches Ashley, burning away the swarm of zombies.

But in the nick of time, Ashley ducked back down to avoid a direct hit from the fire.

What the hell are you doing? It's hot! With a contorted face, Ashley glared at Bell. Even though she didn't take a direct hit, Ashley received a burn from her left cheek to her left shoulder.

You ducked... I don't want to hear that from you. Bell could not hide his surprise. Not only does she control excellent black magic (Grimoire), but Ashley's reaction time is in a different dimension.

Belle gave up on approaching Ashley and stepped back.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you're going to be able to get your hands on it.

It's not just a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time with your friends. She even uses a fairly fast regeneration rate of healing (Amalia). Clearly, she is a different type of necromancer (Grigori) than the enemies Bell has fought so far.

'A zombie?'

That's a bit rude, isn't it? I'm going to get hurt," he said jokingly, but the madness felt from inside Ashley was growing.

When she was far enough away from the crowd of zombies, Belle made the most of the springs in her legs and leapt high.

At that moment, as she leapt to her limits, Bell grabbed the blade with both hands and swung it downward as hard as she could. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find the right one.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

In a sea of zombies, a bridge of burning flames has been built. The zombies caught in the flaming bridge were burned and stopped moving one by one.

The bridge of fire knocked down the crowd of zombies, and this time it attacked Ashley.

Belle couldn't help but gut-punch. The range of the fire bridge is not so narrow that you can duck in a split second. I'm sure I'll be able to hit the attacker this time before he can escape.

But Bell underestimated Ashley's black magic (Grimoire).

No matter how many zombies were burned, new ones would emerge endlessly from the ground in front of Ashley. The inexhaustible supply of zombies built a high wall in front of Ashley, and finally the bridge of fire was foreclosed.

The "Damn ......" bell stood still for a moment. The number of zombies controlled by Ashley is incomparable to that of the snow man (Yeti) who fought on the snowy mountains. It's not a strong individual force, but there are too many of them.

If you don't somehow get past the zombie wall, you're unlikely to be able to hit Ashley.
