It seemed among the 12 Heavenly Stars, the man called Karkinos was one of the individuals with better munication skill.

Even after the previous event, he continued speaking with Aries, Libra and Aigokeros in a friendly manner whilst occasionally getting slashed at by Libra. Nevertheless, the place stayed in an uplifting atmosphere.

Unfortunately, only Virgo who had just recently joined the group was unable to get into the clique. She was left looking at the others from the outside.

She might have been considerate and putting effort into not interrupting the reunion, however, amongst these colourful personalities she seemed to be the only normal individual, thus she came off as being unable to blend in with them.

I left the rowdy bunch of 12 Heavenly Stars to go and sit beside Virgo.

"Can't blend in?"

"Ah, Ruphas-sama."

Virgo was sort of forcibly ordered by Parthenos to acpany us.

In other words, unlike the others who had followed me out of their own wills, she was dragged away by us from what could potentially be her peaceful and serene life.

As such, I was a little worried about her.

I also did not wish for her to have a hard time on this journey.

"No, I was just wondering if it was alright for me to be here… everyone… here is such amazing people. I was just thinking that I wouldn't be of any use to anyone with how low-leveled I was. And ability wise, I'm like a downgraded version of Dina-san."

Notwithstanding that Virgo's and Dina's element affinities were different, just as Virgo stated, their positions in the group were overlapping with one another.

Both were backline support types, however, as opposed to Dina who could use both arcane magic and divine magic, Virgo could only use divine magic.

Furthermore, Dina had an affinity with both the Water and Metal elements and came with a superior spec associated with the maximum level of 1000.

To top things off, she was able to use a cheat skill such as X-Gate and render enemy long distance attacks ineffective and create appropriate distance between herself and her enemies even though she was a rearguard, effectively allowing her to get by without the protection of the vanguard.

Now that I thought about it, what was with that cheat character….

Well anyways, depending on the way she's trained, Virgo had the potential to rival Dina.

Although flugels were unable to use arcane magic, they had superior base stats, thus they stood in a perfect position to bee strong backline support.

Looking at things from that point of view, it could be said that Virgo's potential was more than enough to rival Dina's.

"There's no need to jump to such conclusion. You are a successor personally chosen by that Parthenos. You will be able to stand side by side with those guys in the near future."

"Would things really bee like that?"

"That's right, young girl. You shouldn't be making such a depressing face."

While Virgo and I were having a conversation, a very refined and pleasant voice cut in.[1]

At the very least, it was a voice I could not recognise.

To determine where it was ing from, I turned my face towards the voice. What I saw there was an ingredient for a dish - the barometz.

A plant was growing from a flower pot. ing out from its unnaturally big bud was the head of a sheep which was speaking to us.

"……. The magical beast can speak, huh."

"Oi oi, the lady with the black wings, you say such a strange thing. Of course, magical beasts can also speak. Even the orcs are constantly talking."

…….Ahh, yeah. Now that I thought about it orcs were indeed speaking non-stop.

Or more like, thinking about it properly, Aries and Aigokeros were also magical beasts.

The barometz which had a needlessly refined and dandy voice continued speaking as if it was pletely normal.

"Young girl, there's nothing to think too deeply about. There's no one that can't be of use. Whoever you are, whatever you are, you will always have a role to fulfil. There's a stage where you can shine. Even if there's no spotlight on you right now, there's a shine that only you possess. Stop undervaluing yourself. It doesn't match your cute face."

For some reason, an ingredient was saying something excessively cool…….

I did not know why, but although the things that it was saying were correct, for some reason, it was irritating.

"Even I'm the same. I'm just a lame magical beast who can't even move on my own, but by being cooked and eaten, I can bring happiness to people's face. When I'm in a dish, I can shine."

"Ba, Barometz-san."

"Are you even fine with that?"

What should I do? I did not even know where to begin retorting.

Whilst I was lost on what to say and was staring at the barometz, Karkinos who had finished speaking with Aries and the group came over and tightly gripped onto the barometz's head.

"Ruphas-sama, in preparation for the journey, me's going to go turn the whole barometz into smoked meat. If you don't mind, please give me some time."

After saying as such, Karkinos went to the back of the kitchen.

It seemed he went to create food which could be stored for our long journey.

The barometz kept saying, "Young girl, believe in your own potential!" as it was being taken to the back and eventually stopped making noise.

In the future, it would most probably bee smoked meat and help us out.

…. Well, it was a good guy. Yeah.

All that side, Dina was awfully quiet today for some reason.

It almost seemed as if… she was preparing herself so that she could move any time if anything were to happen.

As if she was waiting for something, no, as if she knew something was going to happen.

…. Or was that just my intuition going on overdrive?

*

A single woman was walking on the top of the wasteland.

She was a beautiful lady which possessed a captivating style and looked to be in her early twenties.

She was wearing a black bondage clothing which exposed much of her skin. On top of that, she had a similarly black coat with furs equipped, nevertheless, she did not put her arms through that coat.[2]

Her lips were dyed purple and on her left cheek was a tattoo with the shape of a crimson heart with black wings ing out of it.

Her hair which was tied on the top of her head flowed all the way to her foot and the end of it was shaped like a scorpion's sting.

No, it was not "like a". It was truly the sting of a scorpion.

The hair which should have been soft and smooth became harder as it neared the end, and by the end of it, pletely became scorpion's sting.

If one were to summarise it in a single phrase, she would be a poisonous woman. She would assault man using her seductive body whilst poisoning and eating him up. Let alone hiding that dangerous scent, she was going around and scattering them.

Her name was Scorpius. She was a specialist in poison as well as one of the pillars of the Tyrannical Way 12 Heavenly Stars.[3]

Right now, in her line of sight was a steel capital created by Mizar, one of the despicable late [7 Heroes], who had betrayed her master in the past.

"Haa, that thing looks disgusting, what a senseless capital. It's lacking in grace and elegance. Right? Don't you guys think so too?"

She spoke as if she was drunk or clingy.

Hearing the words she spoke of were the army of thousands or tens of thousands of magical beasts.

They were not the weak fodders she had borrowed from the demon race. It was an army of scorpions which were personally subdued by her.

Emperor Berserk Scorpion. The title of an emperor which was within her name was not just for show.

She was without a doubt, the king amongst the scorpions. She was a pinnacle of all living things in the desert, the pinnacle of all magical beasts which had mutated out of scorpion.

As such, every magical beast originating from a scorpion was her child, her subordinate and her pawn.

In addition to the immense power she possessed herself, she had the army with both the quality and quantity at her beck and call.

Because she possessed all of that, she was able to singlehandedly destroy the country of [Hrotti] which was founded by the late [Adventure King].

Ruphas had misunderstood one thing.

She had believed there was nothing protecting Hrotti at the time.

She had mistakenly believed that there was no protective system around Hrotti to prevent the advancement of the demons. She had believed there was nothing like Levia protecting Svalinn, nothing like the defensive field protecting Laevateinn and nothing like the demon preventative system possessed by Blutgang. She was under such misunderstanding.

Wrong. She was wrong.

Hrotti had indeed had a defensive mechanism. It indeed had something that would not even lose to Levia.

If anything, it would have been most strange for Phecda who had the monster tamer skill to not leave anything behind once he passed away.

Before he passed away, he had gone through the magical beasts he tamed and left the four most powerful and excellent beasts as guardian deities.

But even then, they were all annihilated.

The army of scorpions trampled down the country into oblivion as it it ate away all the protections left by the late Adventure King.

"But that thing's such an ideal prey. If they're holing up in that tiny place, the poisons will circulate really quickly. Haa… haa… I can't wait… I wonder what kind of face the dwarves will make as they suffer and drop dead. To be bleeding from every hole you can imagine. Ohh, I can just imagine them trying to run away from that tight coffin, but dying with despair and misery… ohh so unbearable, I'm going to wet myself."

She stuck her red tongue out seductively and licked her lips.

She believed it was perfectly normal for the humanoids to be suffering.

If anything, she believed it was their duty to suffer and die.

Because if that was not so, there will be no retribution for her master.

After all, her master had given her all for the sake of the world and the humanoids, yet she was betrayed and taken down by them. Ahh, there was no way she could forgive them.

As such, Scorpius became crazed. By her own will, she abandoned her reasoning, ethics, morals, discipline and self-control to bee a lunatic murdering machine.

To make them drown in the lake full of blood, to make them struggle and suffer. To make them scream from misery. To put them under utter despair.

To make people scream from the bottom of their lungs and to make them cry so that her beloved master could hear them.

Those were the only thoughts that were keeping her moving nowadays.

Her master was her everything. And to be next to her master meant the world for her.

Now that her master was taken away from her, she no longer had any meaning in continuing to live. As a consequence, to pletely annihilate the people that took her master away became her only reason in life. It became the only way she could repay her late master.

That was why she had no hesitation and felt absolutely no remorse in what she was doing.

Women? Child? Infant? Elder? She could not care less about any of them.

As such, she became crazed of her own choice. She allowed herself to continually be enveloped in insanity and madness.

So that she could sink this world into despair, for that one and only reason.
