"Hey, what are you doing? Are you still alive if you drop your head?"
Nicole smiled.
"Well, I don't know if I'm alive-"
The monster wields its tail as if to respond to Aldis's words. I heard the sound of wildly disturbing wind.
"At least, it looks like it still works."
Again, Aldis recognizes it as an enemy. Manipulating "" and "", he hit the monster's neck in a straight line.
Something that seems to be bodily fluid oozes out of the cross section of the neck. But it doesn't seem to be the liquid-blood-that would spew out as a matter of course. The sap that oozes when cutting a tree if it compares. That kind of expression was perfect.
《―――― Pakintsu》
Inferiority To Aldis's sword, the demon that has lost his head from the neck behaved as if he was satisfied with the five.
But there is one decisive difference. The bluish-gray body surface was a natural shield that bounced off any odd attacks, but the cut-away neck section lacks it. No matter how hard you have your skin, there will be no way to attack from a soft section.
Aldis's reading was correct. A flying sword, as if it had no teeth, tears the tender meat. A demon that can no longer speak up will only writhing and reveal pain.
"You lose when you expose your weakness."
Ayaka Soten Ardis rushes in and mercilessly knocks "" on her neck.
The demon, which was cut straight from the neck to the belly, fell down on the ground like a dried fish. Three times, this time the game has been won. As the air spreads around, mercenaries open their eyes.
"Can you still move ..."
As expected, Aldis was also embarrassed. The neck is cut off, and the torso is separated, if not completely, from side to side. Normal creatures should not be able to move with will.
"Cumbersome"
Nevertheless, Aldis calmly wields his sword. The torso is further torn, the thick tail cut off halfway, and the ankle is slashed deeply. Each time Aldis danced his sword, the monster's body was full of scars, and was gradually and little by little cut from being a single individual.
However, the movement of the demon does not stop. The foot stomps firmly on the ground, and the shortened tail still swells and strikes Aldis. It was as if he were watching a marionette manipulated with thread.
"Maybe ..."
Aldis's glance glances toward the cut-off neck. Imitation The head of a demon with a human face and organs in human arms. Despite the slash, the head itself still retains its shape.
"Is that the body?"
The situation is understandable, assuming that the body of this demon is only its head and the body to which Aldis is dealing is just a dummy. It's like controlling a carriage, and the torso may be just like being manipulated.
To confirm this, Aldis fires two swords at her head, avoiding a demon attack.
In "Katsuharu Kasumi" and "Tsukibuki Fubuki", you cannot penetrate the hard skin of the demon. Aldis's intention of pointing the sword is far off from the intention of responding to any reaction. The two swords, which they thought would play well, pierced the demon's neck with a sack.
"What does it mean?"
Despite doubts, Aldis cuts further into the demon's neck with a flying sword. He turned his consciousness toward his neck while dealing with attacks from the demon torso.
Despite being attacked, his neck shows no reaction. It has only been hurt unilaterally. It meant that controlling the neck did not stop the torso.
"What the hell ..."
Only when he arrives does Ardis's face begin to feel impatient.
《―――― Pekipeki》
(Isn't that a half-hearted magical opponent?)
The demon's torso does not appear to stop when its legs are cut or its tail is cut.
《―――― Pickle》
On the contrary, the part that had been separated had settled back on the body and even repaired it.
(It may work if you create a flame with all your might, but it is bad to make the whole area barren.)
《―――― Paki》
I can't just keep treating it endlessly. No matter how much Aldis gets tired, the limits will come soon.
Cocoon It can't be helped. Is it troublesome, but guide them little by little and burn them out where there is no arable land? When Aldis decided to do so, a sword hanging on his waist shook and shook away.
It is a red sword that Aldis and Cyril have recovered from archeological sites deep within the forest of Caucasus. This is the stimulus that came to Laiting.
"what!?"
Unusually, Aldis opens his eyes to surprise. Having been dressed like a cocoon for a while, dressed in Nere's hair, she unveiled with a sudden sound while exposed to the eyes of Aldis.
Majesty The cocoon that wrapped the red sword was broken into pieces and scattered in all directions, revealing a decoration wrapped in a sheath.
Aldis stops at a distance from the demon. The sword that appeared from the cocoon has the same design and color as it was found at the archeological site. Nothing has changed in appearance, but the subtle discomfort that made it feel subtle has disappeared.
(But right now-)
It was decided to manage the monster in front of him, and when Aldis tried to look back, the sword was pulled out of the sheath by itself.
"Now ...?"
Aldis did not do it. The sword came out of the sheath without permission.
The color of the blade is red. Even though red is red, there is a clear difference from the color seen before. It was the color of life that made you feel noble and warm, not the ominousness of blood that was about to clump.
The red sword slowly stands upright in front of Aldis with the cutting edge facing heaven and stops at a height of about 2 meters above the ground.
"eh?"
The next moment, Aldis was ready for the moment. Human hands were applied to the handle of the sword floating in the air.
(In between !?)
As he was surprised and looked down, there was a young woman. And she is surprised again when she sees the woman's face.
"Nele !?"
Long hair with a slurry and straight back. A well-shaped face with a sharp eye that makes you feel noble. Nere was undoubtedly left in the forest of Nagras Kingdom.
"Why is Nere here ...? No ... is it Nere?"
However, Aldis immediately questions.
The woman, both in appearance and in face, resembles a human named Nere, known to Aldis. On the other hand, there were many obvious differences.
Neither the reddish-haired color, the burning red eyes, nor the jet-black long robe worn by him is a Nere's knowledge of Nere. What is different is the expression. The woman was smiling at Aldis.
Nere's expression of emotion is poor. Although it doesn't mean you never laugh, the smile gives a very modest and modest impression. It seems as if you are intentionally controlling your emotions. However, the smile that a Nere-like woman in front of her face turned on had a soft, warm look, as if she were loving a child.
The appearance is exactly the same, but another existence. Aldis understood it by feeling, not by thought.
"You ... who are you?"
When she smiles silently at Aldis's question, a woman who looks like Nere flutters in a slow motion like fluff riding in the wind. With her reddish long hair fluttering, a woman passes over Aldis's head.
"wait!"
Aldis reaches out to grab his foot and sees again that the woman's body has slipped through.
"illusion……?"
Forgetting even to confront the demon, Aldis looks back. The woman flew in the air with the calm of the wind and landed where the monster's neck was falling.
Finally, Aldis notices. That the woman's body can be seen dimly. Raytin's wall is reflected through the woman's body.
When a woman resembling Nere confronts the demon's neck, she slowly sits down and extends her hand to the demon. Gently stab the sword into the demon, as if hugging. It was a fantastic sight that seemed to fade away.
"Well, look! Demon body!"
Somewhere the mercenary cried. When you look down, you can see the torso of the demon, which did not show any signs of stopping even if it was cut or broken, slowly falling down to the ground.
The monster falls down while causing a slight shaking with Doshin. And it just stopped working with Pikuri.
(Maybe that woman did it !?)
The eyes of a woman standing with a sword crossed the gaze of Aldis who turned around in a hurry. The woman turns a slightly shaded smile on Aldis.
"Ah……"
Speaking out, Aldis loses words, not knowing what to say. When she turned away from Aldis, a woman who looked like Nere jumped in the opposite direction. The body of the woman, rising softly, disappeared into the city of Ratingin on the wind while the surrounding mercenaries were taken away.
