Chapter 835 – The Ultimate Solution to All Problems

000

“Aha… Someone did it. “So he was a member of that heinous devil-worshipping group that we have had several encounters with?”

When Darwin, who quietly crossed her legs on the sofa with her finger to her mouth, said that, Lilim just glared at her quietly.

It probably shouldn’t have been all that surprising that she knew her own identity.

That lump of her flesh just now called her ‘her mother’, and that whatever she sprayed, wherever she looked, was a liquid with a strong acidity that should not be sprayed on her living being.

I could tell to some extent what she thought of her own children by her actions just now.

However, that flesh monster didn’t care even if her mother was sprayed with liquid that melted her body, it wriggled by her side as if to protect her.

“But, why are you here? Did you just notice that I was here and come to get rid of me?”

Even as Darwin said that, he glanced at the lump of flesh next to him – more precisely, at the hostages they were holding in the middle.

“No… Then he must have cast a sleep spell on me and come straight for me. What that means is that your purpose is somewhere else…”

She uses the index and middle fingers of her right hand as if they were human legs and makes them walk in the air.

And what her finger was pointing at was next to the monster of her flesh that loved her.

“Aha. Was the purpose of taking hostages?”

＂…＂

Lilim frowned, looking tired of her role-playing words.

Whatever she said, it didn’t matter to her now.

“But then, you made a mistake in judgment. If you had killed this one first, I would have been able to rescue the hostage without having to wake up and disturb you.”

As she said this, she spoke to Lilim with a wicked smile on her face.

＂Has the poison disappeared while working with the Demon Swordsman? Or, after he stopped being a devil, did his original personality return? Either way, I’m just thankful you’re being kind. It’s a pity, though.”

Darwin’s words, “Thank you,” Made Lilim’s nerves feel like they were being rubbed with sandpaper.

She said she became kinder?

That’s a stupid thing to say.

Even if she had tried to deal with Darwin herself first, his brainless, sleepless flesh monster would have prevented it.

─In any case, this is just a conclusion.

Lilim couldn’t accept her voice, which seemed to treat people like fools.

-But, rather than mix her words with her, she had to pull her shadow up from under her own feet and figure out what to do with that woman and that monster of flesh from here on out. Br〉

The regenerative ability she showed just now was not a good match for Lilim’s power, which was the type that cut off the opponent’s life with her single blow, rather than inflicting continuous damage.

“Did you hear it from Aisha? Or, did you really find me by chance? Well, either way…”

Darwin also seems to know this, but without losing his composure, he lifts the teacup that was placed on the table next to the sofa.

“Your plan failed, Lilim. So, be quiet, have some tea with me, and then go back. “We have a lot in common, aren’t we?”

＂… Hah?＂

Lilim had to glare at her, with such a foolish voice coming out of her mouth without realizing it.

Her own and her kind? Have a lot in common?

Is she saying that her grandmother and herself have a lot in common?

Lilim took it as a provocation towards herself, and in fact, her effect was amazing.

Of course, she is (and was) a female executive in an organization that is not accepted in society, and she is much older than she appears.

And, it couldn’t be denied that she sacrificed countless people for her purpose.

Ah, I see.

There Lillim, she said coolly, could tell why she had had such a strong dislike for her since the first time she saw her, no, ever since she had known of her existence. Br〉

As she said, she may be of the same species as Lilim.

To be exact, with her when she was half-human, half-horse Lilim, an executive of Astarote.

That’s why – her lilim denies her.

She knows that she was wrong in the past, and she sees herself as a mistake that needs to be washed away.

That was the reason why instinctive hostility boiled over towards his fellow man, Darwin.

“How is it? Do you feel like talking a little bit?”

When Darwin saw that Lilim’s eyes had changed, he asked that again, and Lilim sighed heavily.

And, she speaks as if answering her question.

“No. I will kill you.”

The next moment, a huge jousting spear-like shadow shot out from under her and flew towards Darwin at a speed that was invisible to her eyes.

＂!＂

Darwin seemed surprised by Lilim’s sudden attack, but when even such a shadow spear was struck by the flesh monster protecting her, the piercing part was quickly replayed and before the spear completely penetrated her body, her muscles were like a net. It was about changing and capturing it.

＂He’s belligerent. And, it seems like I’m weaker than I thought.”

If it were Lilim in her prime, this body would have been destroyed just now.

This is because Lilim’s skills that Darwin had ever reported to were not at this level.

Above all, she is a huge magic sword that wields the darkness that devours everything that was in that treasure.

Even ‘Pandora’ was not in use.

No, maybe it’s not usable.

Because he was a being with abnormal strength, he could have wielded such an absurd sword.

It would be appropriate to say that she is now a member of the dark magic family who specializes in black magic and illusions.

＂Yes… I have become an ordinary person.＂

She spoke as if she was a little sad or regretful, but she quickly changed her feelings.

And, instead of the lump of her flesh blocking Darwin, Lilim, who took advantage of the gap, formed another lance and attempted to plunge it into her own face.

But─

Bang! A strong collision sound rang out.

It didn’t take long for Lilim to realize that the next moment she was thrown backwards with a strong impact.

It was clearly confirmed that just before the lance she created pierced Darwin’s head, she was struck from the front by something strong, causing the lance created from the shadow to shatter and her body to be blown away.

But, what on earth?

The flesh monster had not been able to keep up with her own speed until just then, so it just stayed still.

＂…＂

One side of her vision was red because her own blood was flowing from her forehead and covering her eyes.

Shaking her dizzy head, Lilim held her sore forehead and lifted her head to look in front of her.

Then, it was there.

Darwin─

“Whoa. Sometimes it’s not that bad. Something like this. Because it relieves stress. Baby, you just watch until mom says it’s okay.”

Looking at her crunching, her hands clasped together, the back of one of her hands making a sound like her bones cracking, Lilim thought for a moment that her own head had gone up, wondering what had happened to her from the impact just a moment ago. I was almost mistaken.

＂What are you… What does that look like?＂

When Lilim unconsciously asked her a question as if embarrassed, she just smiled and stood up from the remains of the sofa that collapsed under her weight and walked away.

Was it because of her mood? Every time she took a step, it felt like the ground was shaking.

No, the vibration definitely seemed to be transmitted.

Before my eyes, the red dress she was wearing was almost bursting open.

Her shoulders are wide open, her limbs as thick as the trunk of a tree, the tendons of her bulging muscles crawling across the surface of her skin.

Her waist, which may have originally been thick compared to Lillim’s, has now bulged to the point where her abs are clearly visible even under her dress, and even when Lillim spreads her arms around her, she is only half-turned.
I didn’t want to go.

I don’t know if she used some kind of medicine on her own body, or if she modified it in that way.

The change in her appearance and physical abilities was shocking to her, not only in terms of her visuals, but also in the damage she actually received.

“I just collected some genes from someone I knew and created a body using that power. Once before, I was humiliated because all the bodyguards I was with were attacked.”

Since she is Darwin, who strengthens and controls various living things, it is actually not wrong to say that she is only a weak woman.

Has she now overcome even her weaknesses by reforming herself?



However, when Lilim heard those words, she closed her mouth for a moment and then-

Talk while glaring at her.

＂I feel bad.＂

She simply tells the story as it appears with pure sentiment.

If she had an extreme muscle fetish, she might have given a positive answer.

Unfortunately, she is a slender macho… Although it doesn’t seem like that on the outside, she likes the compressed muscles of the combat type more.

For example, Cain or Cleon.

And, aside from her taste-

The rough breathing caused by swollen muscles and the undignified appearance were far outside Lillim’s aesthetic standards.

＂It looks like a vein will burst and collapse at any moment. Aren’t you overdoing it?”

“Are you okay. It doesn’t matter if I make you tired before then. Like this.”

As she said that, she lightly held her middle finger with her thumb and pulled it away – flicking the so-called stick-like object in the direction where Lilim was…

Boom! Just when I thought I heard the sound of splitting the air, a strong shock wave started from her fingers, tearing the air and attacking Lillim.

＂…!＂

If she had stayed still, Lilim quickly rolled her body over, thinking that the impact would have been worse than being hit by a powerful punch.

The shock wave that passed by her cheek scarred her face like a blade.

Surprisingly, Lillim was dumbfounded when he saw that such a thing was possible with pure strength without any use of magical power.

“Is there any time to look at such past attacks?”

But the next moment, Lilim felt her heart drop as she heard Darwin’s voice above her, and her own shadow rose like a thorn from the ground. 〉

It was aimed at Darwin’s face, which was aimed at her, but with her enhanced torso vision, she dodged the attack by slightly dodging her face, and aimed her lilyim below her. I lowered my fist.

Bang!!

A sound like a bomb exploded, the floor cracked and smoke rose.

Literally, a punch with the destructive power of several bombs.

If it had hit her body, it would have been powerful enough to crush all of her internal organs, from her skin to her bones.

“Oh. There is none.”

But once her rising smoke disappeared, there was no trace of what Lilim was supposed to be.

Darwin, who saw that only the thorns and roots of the shadow that attacked him remained next to him, looked up at her and said,

Using the thorns used in her attack to extend upward, Lillim climbed up to the ceiling and was looking down.

＂Humans like you like lifting things like this…!?＂

And when she stretched out her hand, a huge disk made of her magic fell on Darwin’s head.

It was like a huge prefabricated dumbbell weight plate.

＂Hulkuuuuu…

An object made of magical power changes its mass depending on how much magical energy is injected into it, and almost all of Lillim’s magical energy was poured into that weight plate—

No matter how much she was, it was impossible to move her aside and stay there, barely able to lift her.

From here on, it’s a battle of perseverance.

Lilim’s magic power is depleted, and her weight plate disappears.

Or, she would lose all her strength and be crushed to death by her own weight.

Her desire to get under her and attack her was like a chimney, but if she swung her legs like a whip, Lilim’s body would be torn in half with just that.

I was confident with the punch I just received.

That’s why Lilim’s actions-

Jump straight onto the disk.

Compared to the disk, Lillim’s weight was not much, but she stood on top of the disk and looked down at it-

From the shadow created by herself on her disk, she pulled out several human arms.

In general, it was a shadow of her, with no strength at all, and all she did was throw a bunch of shocks.

＂Do it in moderation… And it gets crushed!＂

As Lilim shouted, she threw a rush of her punches at high speed towards the weight plate she had created with her shadow and her arms.

Tudadadada! A cheerful sound that resonates every time the shadow arm hits the disc.

Each time, Darwin’s arms, which were supporting the disc, were trembling due to the shock coming from above.

And Lilim feels that the height of her disc is slowly decreasing.

‘My legs are losing strength…!’

When Lilim, so confident, increases the speed of her fists ─

＂Kwaaah!＂

At the same time as Darwin screamed in pain, boom! And the disc created by Lillim eventually touches the ground.

I could no longer feel the force of lifting the disk.

＂Haa… Haa…＂

Feeling that her magic power was almost depleted, Lilim looked down at the weight plate she had created.

This method doesn’t suit her, but she thinks it doesn’t matter if she can defeat her opponent.

She was coming down from the disc.

＂… Now, how do we get that fleshy monster to take the hostages…＂

As she said that, she was about to approach the flesh monster, which was listening to its mother’s command to ‘watch’.

Grasp! When she thinks she hears a sound, Lilim looks behind her, feeling a chill run up her spine.

Then there was a human arm sticking out of the ground next to the disk.

＂… No way…＂

When she erases the magic that maintained her disk, there is no Darwin’s crushed to death corpse –

There was a hole leading to the ground.

As soon as she recognized her hole, Darwin jumped out with force, starting from her arm that was sticking out of the ground, and pounced on Lillim.

Thud! A sound is heard, and Lilim’s arms and neck are grabbed and laid on the ground.

＂Kaaaaak, keak…!＂

“Whew… You made me act like a mole.”

Darwin, brushing the dirt off her face and hair, looks down with bloodshot eyes as if he could end Lilim’s life right now.

Her throat was constricted to the point where it was impossible for her to breathe, and her Lilim could only look up at her, unable to even struggle.

＂Sshh… Haa…! Hey, Leon…”

In her fading mind, the moment when Lilim left a voice like that.

As her magic disappeared, the barrier surrounding her weakened.

＂… It’s the end.＂

Just when Darwin, thinking of it as her death, was about to break her neck to make sure it was over.

＂Lilim!＂

At the same time as a girl’s pure voice was heard from outside, there was someone coming in, roughly opening the carriage door.

She ─ with her golden hair flowing, and a hammer of light in her hand.

She was a crusader and a princess.
