Chapter 144 – Abduction

000

In the dark alley, only the sound of women laughing and flapping their wings resonates in the shadowy space covered by moonlight. And, the winged devil descended from the sky to rule the place. However, her power contained in her small body was not at all lagging behind any of the yinmas around her, and rather, even if all of them put together, they would not be able to defeat even one of her her.

Ishtal’s partner who became the mistress of her back alley her, and the mysterious black demon girl, Lilim, with her back to the moonlight, half-penny sex prosecutor and gray rat who invaded her territory when she was in a bad mood. She was looking down on

Although the cause of the displeasure was that the magic eye of her watch dragon, sent by Ishtal, was immediately destroyed by someone. While she was looking for something to vent her anger on, it must have been their misfortune to find someone she could play with just right.

As soon as she waved her hand and chanted her spell her, a mist of black magic spread from her fingertips and covered the young man and the detective.

“Slip.”

A spell of sleep, which gradually slows down the target’s life activities and plunges them into an unbearable swamp of sleep. It was a low-level spell that not only never worked on targets higher than himself, but also took time to fall asleep, but that was up to the user.

Rather, the hypnotic spells of succubi are more powerful than those used by wizards of the same level. However, if Lilim, who had magical powers higher than that of a middle-class demon, used magic, she would instantly faint on the spot, so it was not a matter of putting her to sleep.

“Kuh… All of a sudden… Drowsiness…”

As Eustes muttered that and stumbled in front of her, Gray took out a small syringe from her pocket her and inserted it into her thigh her and into Eustes ‘thigh her at the same time.

“…?”

Lilim tilted her head at the bizarre behavior, but even so, Gray and Eustes fell forward and seemed to fall asleep.

However, he immediately opened his eyes and, holding Eustes’ hand in a panic, Gray ran towards the exit of the back alley.

“… Get it.”

For a moment, Lilim didn’t understand what had happened, but what she had to do didn’t change. The Eumma, who were embarrassed by Gray and Eustes’ escape, also stopped moving for a moment, probably because they were careless. As a result, after the two of them have fallen a bit, they fly through the alleys and start chasing them.

‘… The magic didn’t fail. The two of them were obviously asleep. But… How did it happen right away…’

Lilim calmly sorts out her thoughts and lands on the ground. There, some of the medicine from the syringe Gray used had seeped into the ground.

As she moves her finger, it extracts the fluid along her power lines.

The sky-blue nearby liquid that danced in the air gave off its own light. A strong magical response was felt inside. A magic potion created by someone using alchemy. , But it was difficult for Lilim, who had no knowledge of alchemy, to know exactly what it was.

However, the magical response felt from the ingredients of this drug. Somewhere

Even more so, I had a reason to catch that mouse.

Lilim thought so and looked in the direction where her subordinates were sent.

001

Two people running through a maze-like alleyway. No matter how much I thought about it, I was running in the direction to get out of the back alley. The roads are intertwined like a labyrinth, and the dark space never ends. From behind, the sound of giggling and chasing demons was coming. It was doubtful whether he would be able to escape in the same way if that powerful girl from before, Inma, reappeared.

However, even in the midst of this, Eustes asks Gray a question he could not stand.

“Hey! The medicine I used earlier, is it okay!?”

“It’s okay, so it’s running! Rather than that, I’d rather do something with the holy sword at the waist! A decorative sword!?”

Gray spoke while looking at Mistiltein hanging from Eustes’ waist, but Mistiltein’s light was much less than before. The materialization of the magic sword was also done when defeating the Beast before, but at that time, it was activated while using all the magic accumulated for a long time, so the power could be released without restrictions to some extent.

After that, all of the stored magic power was gone, and he was in the middle of somehow accumulating magic power little by little, using only the magic recovery supplied by Eustes’ low magic aptitude. Even Eustes uses Misteltein only when he is cornered. However, since he had recently used it, it took some time for him to be able to use it again, thanks to his unreasonable use of his ability his as before in a situation where he was running out of mana again.

“Bah, they said he was half a hero. Was it really…”

“Kuh… More than that. How far did it go, this back alley…!”

Even though they seem to be running a longer distance than when they came in, when they can’t see the exit, the two realize that it’s strange no matter how strange it is, and eventually end up in a dead end in an alley. Looking up at the sky, the moonlight is also hidden by black clouds. Everywhere I looked, there was only darkness.

Both Eustes and Gray are taken aback by the situation and stop.

“Ahaha☆ You idiots still don’t understand? This back alley is already our territory of Astarrote… There’s no such thing as illusionary magic that disorients you guys.”

Then, a high voice came from behind. The voice that made the two of them fools was, of course, the voice of the succubus that had been chasing them.

Pink hair, golden eyes. And white skin. She had red horns and was wearing an unusual outfit compared to other succubuses.

Wearing a sleeveless black tee over black pants. Chain accessories that glistened in the moonlight hung all over the waist and pants.

Compared to the succubus around her, her body type her is a bit on the small side. No, a little is a really good thing to say. It was almost flat.

“Wow! Cliff! Has there ever been a succubus like that!?”

“Who is the cliff! This bastard the color of a gutter rat!?”

“No. There was none. At least a guy of such a small size… If he had been smaller than that black inma earlier, he would have stood out.”

“Adam Adam is noisy…! Listen carefully. My name is Kamala. As, a demon of such high rank that you can’t even imagine… No no. This name was a secret.”

Angry, embarrassedheheas his expression Her changed moment by moment. I was proud of myself. The devil, who introduced himself as Kamala, may or may not have thought that he had a complete victory over the two cornered.

“Ah…”

“Anyway! I’m a servant of such a great person, and I’m a demon that’s so powerful that it’s incomparable to an ordinary succubus! If you know, you’ll be our prey☆”

As she points her finger in the direction of the two of them, her tail her, which rests on her hips her, stretches like her rubber. Her tail her, which was hidden in the shadows in the dark and was difficult to see, had a loose tip and a structure that could be opened. It was a form that stretched to the extent that it was possible to completely swallow the target to prey on.

“Kuk! That much is me!”

Eusthes swiftly swung his sword strongly and cut off the rushing tail. He must have thought it would be stretchy and soft to wriggle with, but the blades felt more solid than steel when they struck.

“How did the devil’s body become…!”

“Hmph. Do you think you can scar my beautiful body with such a crappy sword? You crap!”

“Then how about this…!”

The next moment, Gray pulls out a glass bottle containing the blue luminescent liquid that he injected with Eustes earlier from his waist and throws it.

Kamala glances at it, then snorts and snaps the tip of her tail open. He swallowed it and heard a wag-jak-wag-jak sound from inside.

“Whoops. My tail is a greedy tail that melts, digests, and absorbs anything. And, it doesn’t work with most poisons…!?”

Kamala, wagging her tail her as she smuggled herself, clutched her stomach at the sudden pain she felt in her stomach her, turning her face blue.

It was a reaction similar to that of humans when they eat spoiled food.

“Sorry. That’s not poison, it’s holy water.”

“Sir, holy water…!? But, holy water won’t shine that way…”

There, expensive. Toss, inject directly into the body. Even so, Eustes was well aware that it was not something a detective could easily obtain and use, enough to remain in his pocket.

“Ahaha~ Yes, that’s right. It’s something I made with a savage. But the performance alone is amazing.”

“Make holy water…!? Detective, how-“

To Eustes, who looks at him in astonishment, Gray shrugs his shoulders and replies.

“It’s a trade secret.”

Whatever. If this continues, Kamala who has absorbed the holy water will become weak, and if that happens, her illusion magic her she said will also disappear.

The surrounding succubuses were also unable to approach him easily, as if they were wary of Gray’s holy water.

That was the moment when the two were sure of their escape.

“Ah… Really…! Don’t annoy me…!!!!”

Kamala raised her voice abruptly, and she widened her tail open.

Eustes and Gray, who saw a patter and a piece of glass falling there, once again take a posture in preparation, but-

Its tail was not aimed at two people, but at one of her subordinates her, the succubus, who was nearby.

“Huh!? Wait, wait! Kamal-kyaak!”

Could it be that they did not imagine that the direction of their anger would be directed at them? After being still, the angry succubus was swallowed up by her huge, inflated tail of her, and it could be seen writhing so hard that limbs could be seen sticking out of it.

Not only the two of them, but even the succubus around them turned blue and looked at Kamala. I had no intention of moving at that strange sight.

“…Ha…”

And, when Kamala lets out her sigh. Her tail her, which swelled it last, returned to normal. That means Son. It is said that the body of the succubus that was eaten inside her tail was gone. Originally speaking of the body of demons, it was a temporary body created through magic anyway. The soul will be repatriated to hell, but-. Even so. The act of devouring her subordinates her without hesitation in order to restore her body her was literally the act of the devil itself.

Kamala, who sacrificed her subordinate’s life to absorb all of her mana her, uses her power her to neutralize all the holy water in her body her.

Then, he opened his tail and spit out only the clothes that the subordinate was wearing.

“I’ll pay for the crime of letting Kamala eat her men her… ☆”

“Mi, you crazy bitch…”

In response to Eustes’ sentiment, the succubuses also vigorously resisted nodding their heads. So that he wouldn’t be the next target, he gradually closed the gap towards the place where Gray and Eustes were standing.

“If you have another trump card, now is the time to use it…”

“…Now that it’s like this, even if we convert life force into magical power…!”

A small amount of magic power idling inside Eustes. That idling takes place in the heart, and the rising temperature burns the blood. Burned blood – the source of life will begin to reduce to magical power.

As he started to deal with Mistiltein, he learned his own ability without any talent. A normal sex swordsman would be able to produce divine magic on his own even if he did n’t do this, but Eustes didn’t inherit the divine magic talent from his mother his.

“Ha, what is it? A half-penny warrior. I think he’s trying to do something… Do you still not understand that even if you do something like that, you can’t stop this Kamala-sama?”

However, if he had a reason for holding the holy sword. It is clear that he has been living his own way so far to become a shield to protect someone’s meaningful life.

The work to be done in Elessia and the royal capital did not change.

The moment he literally tried to burn himself, he pulled out the mistiltein, accelerated idling, and exploded the accumulated mana.

The moment Kamala’s vicious claws tried to pierce his neck.

The moment when Gray, unable to react to the speed, looked up at the sky in embarrassment.

The sky opens, the clouds tear, and the moonlight pours down.

At the same time, a giant god’s mace rose from the sky. Envelop the lightning and fall in a straight line.

It was to hit Camilla on the head from top to bottom.

‘Deeng-‘, and a cheerful sound like a bell rings.

Giving a death cry of “Guek”, Kamala slams into the ground.

“Three, Saint Princess!?”

“Did it take too long…!”

As each succubus panicked, there was a blade that came out of the darkness and cut their bodies as it danced and moved like flowing water.

“Thread the beads.”

With a rumbling sound, the demonic sword that was once drawn returns to its scabbard.

Following the path of the sword she wielded, her fiery mana followed, and the wounds of the succubus that had been cut open all at once, pouring out a large amount of mana.

The succubus, unable to maintain their shape, were to be forcibly evicted from the spot all at once.

“…What are you doing here. You.”

Raising her her body her, she talks while looking back at Eustes with cold eyes.

“Lu, Lubera…”

As Eustes, she is terrified of meeting someone she never wanted to meet.

“What, what happened…!? A beautiful girl holding a hammer in the sky…! Woohyo…! Could it be that the Saint Princess…!? The legendary Saint Princess!?”

When Gray tried to get closer to Amelia, who had saved them with her eyes shining, Amelia was taken aback and stepped back from her, and Ruba stood in the way.

“You guys. Why are you here at this time?”

“It’s because of work. I’m here to investigate the disappearance of the adventurer’s guild. There must be a hint here somewhere.”

“Me too. …You are. Why are you here…”

When Eustes asks such a question, Lubera answers with a cold look.

“I am under no obligation to answer you. Don’t get your head around this.”

Rubera’s own feelings for Eustes aside. It was better for her to have as few characters as possible to know that the Saint Princess was Princess Amelia. On top of that, even if Eustes, who was lacking in ability, intervened in this matter, it was a cold evaluation that it would only become a burden to obstruction.

The same was true of Gray at her side of her. He just looks like a child. She doesn’t even look like she can handle a weapon.

Wouldn’t it be better to take her to Lavita and erase her memories of her? When she’s thinking the same thing

“I’m here to… Disturb… Again… Saint Princess…”

The voice that had echoed in the darkness earlier came from above their heads once more.

It was Amelia who first sensed her appearance her and moved her body her. As she stretches out her arms, she poises herself to defend her party here no matter what attack spells of hers come flying from her.

“It’s appeared…! The dark horse’s succubus!”

“…Ha. Gradually, remember. My name is Lilim…”

“I have no intention of calling the name of a demon who makes the people of the capital suffer!”

“It’s okay, but… I also don’t have any intention of getting along… With you… Who bully the succubus.”

When her hammer her is once again surrounded by the lightning of divine magic, behind Lilim, her first offensive type of magic she appears.

It was like her huge claws, claws, fangs, and hideous masses of magical power that, if she swung her fingers, she could tear at any being in front of her eyes at any moment.

On the verge of clashing between the strongest crusader and the succubus beyond common sense.

[Lilim. I’m sorry, but take the idiot back with you. Her fight with her still pushes back.]

The partner’s voice in Lilim’s ears. By stupid I mean Kamala, whose head was almost smashed by Amelia’s hammer her.

Lilim looks at her party her, squinting her eyes for a moment, then snaps her fingers her.

Mistaking that an attack was coming, everyone in the party flinched and drew their weapons.

What happened next was that a small dimensional passage opened and Kamala was sucked into it.

Amelia and Rubera too. For a moment I was taken back by that look.

Whiririk! With a quick sound that could be heard, Kamala’s tail wrapped around Eustes’ ankle.

And Gray, who was the only one not in a fighting stance, grabbed Eustes by the collar. Due to lack of power, Camilla was quickly transported to Lilim’s side through the dimensional passage as it was.

“Kuh, let this go…!”

“…I brought something strange…”

“Call it spoils. Lilim sister…! We’ll take this one! Don’t worry, it won’t take your life☆”

Tendons sprouted from Rubera’s forehead on her. In an instant, she stances her feet and contemplates cutting Kamala down with Eustes.

Amelia, too, gulped her saliva, just as she was trying to somehow rescue her hostage Eustes and keep Kamala and Lilim from escaping.

“Oh no…!”

Amelia misses her hammer and collapses her stance, a burning pain felt in her own shoulder her.

“For a moment…!”

Ruba knew her reaction to her. A wound from Ishtal before. No matter how divine magic was used, if she moved her body her forcibly in a state that could not be healed, the wound would react and make Amelia suffer.

“…? That hurt… I think it’s real… Well, okay… Kamala. Let’s go…”

“Yeah~ I think it’s okay to attack like this if the Saint Princess can’t act, but… I have to take this hostage too… Yes! Alright, big sister☆ Next time, I’ll devour all of you, so be prepared!”

Saying so, they open the dimensional door once again and try to disappear.

“Wait! Leave that idiot… Kuh…!”

Eustace and Amelia. If you were to ask Lubera which side she should focus on, 9 out of 10 times she would immediately say Amelia.

At that time, Gray looks at Ruba and speaks softly.

“…I have a transmitter attached. I can find it by detecting my magic power.”

“… Kough…”

Ruba bites her lip as if to hold back her boiling anger, and wraps herself around the fallen Amelia.

“You. I’ll take you outside the back alley. And-“

“You mean don’t tell anyone what happened today? Don’t worry. I know that. In return, I’d like you to visit Gray’s Detective Agency because I think I can help.”

Ruba sighs and nods her head. She thought she had heard her name her, Gray, somewhere, but she did not dispel her doubts about Gray.

And- Amelia.

Her wounds are unknown even to the wives of the Tromeia family. It was a fact that only she, Rubera, who she hunted demons with at night, knew.

Amelia begs her mortal Ko Aurelia not to tell. For it was obvious to her that if she knew of her condition her, she would again overdo it in order to cure herself, away from the eyes of her royal family and her husband her.

It was to somehow suppress her wounds with purification magic, and suppress the pain through holy water.

The wound showed no sign of healing, and it was felt that it was gradually deteriorating.

“… I guess we’ll have to do something about it.”

Organizing some of the ways that came to her mind her, Ruba walked down her back alley, where her demons and visions had vanished.

Her mixed feelings about whether she really should use that method were not erased.
