「Oi looks, sothing is standing on top of the ramparts.」
「Is that a human or monster?」
Though Kotone had already spotted the monster on top of the ramparts, it didn’t stop her from slaying the other ragno at the sa ti. The other adventurers were just now noticing the existence of the spider with the girl’s upper half too.
The girl had a certain dignified air around her.
Her eyes were moving round and round, each looking in a different direction. Drool was dripping from her slovenly opened mouth. Poisonous-looking purplish-red coloured fangs could be seen peeking from her mouth.
「T-That isn’t a run-of-the-mill monster…」
Rosemonde spoke while pointing her cross toward the spider girl.
「I-I’m, I’m, the youngest daughter of four sisters, L-L… Lily.」
The monster who introduced herself as Lily gave a courteous bow.
But, doing that didn’t stop her drool from dripping down from her mouth.
「I, as ordered by my dear mother, will eat you guys. I-It’ll save a lot of trouble if you let eat you guys or else big sis Marie gonna tease … if I fail.」
Lily spoke with her mouth open wide.
Mucus and blood were coming out from inside her mouth.
There was also sothing resembling human fingers amongst it.
From the looks of it, she’d already eaten a few humans after coming this far.
The adventurers who saw that flinched back in terror.
And then, Lily leapt down from the top of the rampart while raising a maniacal laugh.
She made a bizarre movent in the air as she charged toward the adventurers below.
It seems she used the string that was stuck to the ramparts to be able to move like that in the air.
「Hi, hihihi, hihihihi…!」
Lily landed right where the adventurers were gathered and swung her huge arms as soon as she landed.
That seemingly simple sweep easily tore into the bodies of a few unlucky adventurers.
The lumps of at that she gouged from the arm or leg of the adventurers splattered around as it sprayed fresh blood.
「The HuMAnS… Are, Too FRAgiLE.」
Lily took one of the fallen arms, raised it above her head, and drank the blood dripping from it.
After licking the blood that fell on her cheeks, she let out another maniacal laugh.
That show of strength alone was enough to convince everyone that she was league above the ragno.
The others in that place who saw that the bloody scene scread with panic.
Kotone whose position was the closest to Lily’s closed in imdiately as if unaffected by the spectacle and swung her 《Ancient Gigant Axe》 toward the latter’s head.
Lily leapt up in the air with another bizarre movent and dodged Kotone’s attack.
She’d reused the thread that she’d used to descend from atop the ramparts.
Lily then landed again on the giant axe that had already sunk into the ground and looked down on Kotone.
「Poor human. Is the only thing that’s good about you your weapon?」
Kotone let go of her giant axe and leapt back to gain so distance from Lily.
「Ti-space Magic, 8th Rank; 《Dinsion Pocket》.」
Kotone’s hand shone and pair of golden gauntlets appeared on her hands.
「《Eldrago Gauntlet(Demon Dragon Emperor’s Claw)》」
Lily leapt off the giant axe and propelled forward toward Kotone.
Poisonous looking purplish-red coloured nails were growing from the tips of Lily’s fingers.
She swung her arms as she rushed toward Kotone.
Though Kotone managed to parry the flurry of nail attacks with her gauntlets, she was also forced to retreat.
The movent of her gauntlets beca slower and slower with each attack she parried off.
「A-Are you kidding ? An assassin that can fight on par with S-rank adventurer after suddenly coming out of nowhere…」
Rosemonde muttered so with a dumbfounded look on her face as she watched the fight from afar.
Kotone, otherwise known as the 《Ares Hand,》was famous for always instakilling her opponents.
And yet, this monster Lily was clearly stronger than Kotone.
「W-We have to assist her, Rosemonde-san!」
Rosemonde’s body flinched upon hearing Pora’s remark.
「I-It’s an opponent that not even a S-rank adventurer can beat you know! Are you looking to die? In the first place, my mana is already…」
Pora didn’t wait for Rosemonde and dashed right toward Kotone and Lily. Rosemonde could only stand still in shock, looking at Pora’s back, she shook her head and chased after Pora imdiately.
「S-Splendid, bring it on!! Show the guts of Manarak’s adventurers!」
Lily launched a leg sweep with her forelegs while barraging Kotone with her claw attacks.
「Ugh!」
Kotone, who almost lost her balance due to that attack, leapt up to the sky.
Lily, who had already predicted her move, closed in imdiately and readied to plung her claws into Kotone’s abdon.
「Don’t look down on .」
Kotone spun in mid-air, dodging the attack while lending a kick right on Lily’s face.
「HYIIH!」
Lily retreated while pressing her face.
Seeing her counter worked, Kotone advanced forward instead of retreating and slashed at Lily’s abdon with a swordhand that was protected with the gauntlet.
Lily’s body fluid danced in the air.
「O-Ouch, it hurts… the likes of a human… actually managed to hurt !」
Though Kotone managed to land a hit, she seed to be puzzled for so reason.
Pora was also shocked upon seeing that. Reason being, the wound that Kotone had inflicted on Lily was too shallow.
Apparently that attack only counted as scratch and was far from fatal wound.
Lily leapt back imdiately.
At that ti, the 《Ancient Gigant Axe》 that was buried into the ground was moving by itself toward Kotone while dragging its blade on the ground.
It seems Lily had already stuck her spiderweb on the giant axe when she’d stood on it.
Kotone reacted a mont too late and lost her chance to dodge the incoming axe.
She crossed her arms to guard which were protected by the golden gauntlets to stop the surprise attack from the axe.
But, her body still got blown away, getting knocked down and rolling across the ground until she stopped.
「This axe… it’s good. I… might co to like it.」
Lily squinted her eyes whose pupils didn’t focus on a single point as she spoke filled with delight.
「Spirit Magic, 8th-Rank《Laelaps Fang》」
Pora pointed her cane toward Lily.
A lump of plasma beast unleashed from the magic circle that was floating at the tip of Pora’s cane.
The plasma beast rushed forward in a straight line, gouging the ground as it approached Lily.
Lily turned her attention to Pora and dodged the plasma beast easily by jumping into the air.
The plasma beast passed right below Lily’s feet.
「N-No way…」
《Laelaps Fang》 was Pora’s ace magic.
Its power and speed were the best in Pora’s arsenal.
By the way, she started to think that she shouldn’t use this magic unless she t an opponent of a higher calibre after her easy victory in the duel against Alfred.
「W-W-What are you surprised about? A-A-As if such linear attack fired from a distance can hit ….」
Lily spoke happily as if mocking Pora.
