Chapter 198: Long Night (3)
“…!”
At Alzar’s words, Lilith showed an agitated reaction for the first ti.
“Ho, how…”
She must have never thought he would have found out even Lily’s identity, and even her relationship with Lilith.
Seeing Lilith like that, Alzar twisted the corners of his mouth again.
“She resembled you bitch exactly. No, rather, being a bit more mature than you, I quite liked it.”
Alzar, who ridiculed Lilith like that, soon moved his ‘hand’ to pull Lilith even closer to himself.
Then, he stealthily approached Lilith’s side and whispered softly.
“──I have been watching you, and your castle, all along.”
“Wha…”
“Your bathroom, your bedroom… even the appearances you would absolutely never show to others, I watched them all.”
As if to imprint that no matter how much she struggled, she was eventually ‘in his hands’, he applied even more force to the ‘hand’ holding Lilith.
“Though I never dread that I wouldn't be able to peek into the dreams when you slept in that bedroom, so you must have crossed the Wall together every night.”
Alzar, who showed a nasty smile, added.
“Thanks to that, when that half-demon who resembled you bitch exactly entered this castle, I was really surprised. And only then did I understand. Why the Queen of the Night, of all people, had absolutely not taken any night partners for over 10 years.”
“…!”
At that mont, Lilith swallowed her breath.
She, who had maintained her resolve even in a situation where her life was directly threatened, began to show an appearance as if feeling fear for the first ti.
“For 10 years… you have been watching …?”
At the endless malice of the man ridiculing her right now.
“Why, on earth…”
“You are the King of bitches who mix bodies and mate with human bastards anyti, isn't it sothing a Corps Commander of the Demon King’s army should naturally do?”
Alzar asked back in a tone implying why she was asking such an obvious thing.
“In fact, you ended up betraying us, didn't you?”
But Lilith already knew the truth.
The source of the malice he harbored.
Because she already knew.
“No… way…”
She showed a reaction of utter disbelief.
Even if it was inevitable due to the position of being fellow Corps Commanders, the opponent whom she thought she had been interacting with politely in her own way.
“10 years, you say…”
As if she had never even considered that he would be such a filthy person to this extent.
So, she started to fear for the first ti.
“Don’t tell … because of that incident back then…?”
Don’t tell , just for the single reason that she politely refused his rude request for bed in the past.
“Just because of that, you did this much……?”
Because she could not possibly imagine his malice harboring ill feelings and doing ‘this much’ over that.
She revealed pure fear of the unknown, which she had never even thought about nor could think about until now.
“…Ha.”
anwhile, when Lilith pointed out that fact, Alzar ground his teeth, sure enough.
“Your self-consciousness is excessive.”
Although he tried hard to scoff as if it was nonsense, anyone could see that he was enraged by the fact that his inner thoughts were completely seen through.
As if to prove this, Alzar soon blocked Lilith’s mouth by pressing down with the thumb of the ‘hand’ tightly holding her.
“A re Succubus. Did you think you really beca a King because I treated you with courtesy all this ti?”
Seeing Lilith suffering at that, Alzar raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
“Shall we see if that mongrel bitch can act pricey like you bitch.”
“…!”
“Now, I ask for the last ti. Where is that mongrel──”
“──I am right here, you damn son of a bitch.”
“──!?”
──Thwack!
A dull hitting sound that resonated for an instant filled the vast hall.
***
The mont Rine cast 「Ti Stop」, everything around stopped just like that.
The only ones who could move as usual here right now were Rine and us whom Rine ‘permitted’.
Thanks to that, we were able to approach right in front of Lilith, who was held in Alzar’s ‘hand’, without any interference from the soldiers surrounding the hall.
However, Lily, who had heard the conversation the two were having until just now… before 「Ti Stop」 was cast, seed unable to hold back her anger.
Eventually, as soon as 「Ti Stop」 was released.
“──I am right here, you damn son of a bitch.”
Hisss──!
The 「Gloves of Gale」 she wore spewed out wind as if spewing steam.
With her fist enhanced by the ‘power’ of the wind like that, Lily just smacked Alzar’s jaw hard.
──Thwack!
Along with a dull hitting sound, Alzar’s huge body floating in the air was seen bending like a shrimp.
As his ‘concentration’ broke, the ‘hand’ holding Lilith scattered like smoke and disappeared in an instant.
Lilith almost fell to the floor, but fortunately, Miki rushed over urgently and caught her in ti.
Actually, if he hadn't been blankly stunned for a mont, he wouldn't have had to rush so urgently.
At the ‘curse word’ that popped out of Lily’s mouth for the first ti, not only Miki but also the other companions were looking at Lily with very surprised expressions.
“You, damn trash bastard──!”
But Lily didn't care about such gazes at all, and spread her other hand with another rough curse.
Bang!
Like that, this ti she placed her hand on Alzar’s body and just fired 「Gale」, blowing him away.
Alzar, who was blown away helplessly by Lily’s unexpected surprise attack, eventually broke a nearby wall with a Crash! and fell to the floor as if thrown.
Only after seeing that sight.
“Wh, what!?”
“Whe, where did they appear from!”
The soldiers surrounding us finally grasped the situation and rushed at us who appeared suddenly all at once.
“Uooo──!”
As soon as they did, Toric let out a shout and struck down with his axe with all his might to use 「Crush」 on the floor, knocking down the rushing soldiers, and at the sa ti.
Whish!
The daggers thrown by Evie rotated and cut down the soldiers following behind one by one.
“Are you alright?”
In the anti, Lilith slowly stood up, supported by Miki.
“You people, why…”
『──Protect us!』
“──!”
I first cast 「Word Command」 to make the nearby soldiers fight among themselves, and then answered slyly towards Lilith who was showing a reaction asking why we returned, as expected.
“Because Lily said she had a lot of things to take up with you.”
As I pointed to Lily with my chin slightly, Lily nodded with a firm expression as if affirming my words.
“Yes! That’s right!”
Fwoosh!
“Uaaak!?”
Simultaneously casting 「Fla of Sistina」—an offensive spell she rarely cast for this and that reason normally—to burn the soldiers rushing towards her, Lily shouted with a voice still not relieved of anger.
“If you keep leaving behind as you please, next ti I really won’t forgive you!”
“…!”
“You heard her, right?”
As you can see, Lily had a personality where although she might be benevolent like an angel normally, once she got angry, she beca very scary.
So.
“It would be better for you not to make Lily angry.”
Lilith had better heed my advice.
“──You, damn bitches…!”
At that ti, Alzar’s huge fra, which had been beaten and even blown away by the angry Lily just a mont ago, was seen floating into the air again.
Even if he was hit by an unexpected blow, he is a Corps Commander of the Demon King’s army anyway.
Rumble!
As if proving this, along with a large vibration, ‘hands’ wrapped in black flas rose from the floor one by one.
The six 「Black Hands」 summoned like that.
“Not knowing your place…!”
Attacked us all at once with a single gesture of his hand.
『──Protect us!』
As soon as she saw this, Lily imdiately cast 「Miracle of Protection」.
Crackle!
The huge ‘hands’ were blocked by the barrier erected like that and couldn't approach.
anwhile, next to such Lily, Rine swung her staff once.
Then, a ‘hand’ made of gathered hard rocks, similar in size to the 「Black Hands」, was summoned and clenched its fist.
Crunch!
The ‘rock hand’ summoned by Rine struck one 「Black Hand」 hard, making it scatter like smoke, and then quickly grabbed another of Alzar’s ‘hands’ that attacked it, starting a contest of strength.
On the other side, the 「Divine Shield」 piled up like a castle wall blocking the approach of the 「Black Hands」.
“Haap!”
Miki didn't stop there and threw his own shield powerfully as well, and.
“──!”
Alzar, seeing the shield flying towards him, urgently moved one of the nearest 「Black Hands」 to barely strike away that 「Shield Throw」.
However, in doing so, Toric who was blocking that 「Black Hand」 beca free.
As soon as the ‘hand’ blocking his axe disappeared, Toric kicked off the ground high and jumped up.
“Roarrr──!!”
At the mont he let out a shout of 「Fury」, Crackle! electric current flowed from the axe he held.
Smash──!
Toric’s swung axe split the ground like lightning.
Although he barely managed to dodge it, Alzar, who couldn't overco the shockwave that followed and was pushed back.
“──How does it feel to be caught from behind, you dirty stalker bastard.”
“──!?”
Found Evie who had caught his back before he knew it and climbed on his huge fra as if piggybacking.
Then without even a mont to question back, his mouth was covered in an instant, and.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
He was stabbed twice in the heart and once in the neck in an instant.
Evie didn't stop there and imdiately spun the dagger pulled out from his neck, and.
Slash!
Slit it rcilessly.
Gush.
From the ‘gap’ opened like that, black blood began to pour down.
“Wha──”
At that mont, instinctively sensing sothing unusual, Evie hurriedly jumped up and put distance from Alzar just like that.
Alzar, who beca free from Evie, staggered helplessly like a deflated balloon, and eventually fell to the floor fluttering.
Then.
──Bang!
Like a balloon really, he burst with a huge roar.
Spewing the black blood, which was pouring like a waterfall, in all directions.
At the sa ti, the 「Black Hands」 he had summoned also.
──Bang! Bang!
“──?!”
Pop! Bang!
Started to burst explosively one by one like firecrackers.
Spewing 「Hellfire」 in all directions.
The 「Hellfire」 spread like that burned those swept up in it.
If Lilith hadn't hurriedly cast a ‘shield’ on us—one that wrapped each of us individually, but emitted a red light instead of the usual ‘light’—we, too, would have been swept up in those flas likewise.
“Wh, what…?”
“…They are clones.”
Lilith, who was already exhausted, continued her words with difficulty in a voice that made it imdiately clear she had squeezed out strength she didn't have to cast that ‘shield’.
“It’s that filthy monster’s, specialty.”
“──You know well.”
At that mont, Alzar’s voice was heard.
“Did you think I would really set foot in such a dirty place?”
To be precise, the voice of the Alzars.
The huge fras floating in the air twisted the corners of their mouths simultaneously as if they had beco one person and scoffed.
This Alzar battle has moved on to the next phase.
