The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

31 – Beginning of Destruction 9

The villagers head to the room after overpowering the tearing girl.

They couldn’t help but have deep doubts about the girl’s actions that prevented them this far.

Anxiety that a guy who lives alone after losing his parents might have done something wrong.

If it were normal now, they were more sensitive to the fact that the whole area was being devastated by demons.

“Ah… No!”

People who go into the house, ignoring the girl’s voice.

With the idea that there must be something suspicious, they started searching the house without hesitation.

But…

“… What… “

“Nothing?”

“….Yes?”

Contrary to expectations, the house is literally empty.

Since it wasn’t a very large place to begin with, they searched the place in their own way, but nothing came out.

“… No, I pretended to have something, but what is this… “

“Chit. You just made a fuss for no reason.”

Those who leave leaving only doubts about the girl’s fuss.

Looking at her figure, the girl sat on her floor for a while with a dazed expression on her face.

“Uh… how did… The poor?”

A girl cautiously rises from her seat with doubts.

Then she went slowly into the house.

As adults say, the house is empty.

In that scene that makes you feel as if everything up until now was a dream,

The girl just silently looked at the place where her demon was lying.

Then.

“Here.”

“!”

A sudden voice came from the side.

The girl immediately turned her head away.

Standing there is the demon in question.

Looking at her standing upright as if her wounds were almost healed, the girl hugged her tightly with an unknown sense of relief.

“… Black… Black… “

A warm feeling felt right after that.

The feeling she hadn’t felt in a long time since her parents passed away made the girl shed tears without realizing it.

And then, looking at the girl like that.

Her demons just stood there silently and stared at her.

Unlike before, with a slightly complicated expression.

*

“… Okay? Do demons have parents?”

“… Yes”

A girl who nodded heavily at Fenrir’s words.

Looking at her, Fenrir put on an expression that she still couldn’t understand, she asked.

“… Why? Then, from your point of view, the demons would be enemies. Why did you save me, a fellow demon?”

“…”

“… Ha. If it’s hard to say, you don’t have to say it.”

A girl who remains silent again at Fenrir’s question.

Looking at her, Fenrir thought that she was still a very frustrating guy, and she let out a deep sigh.

“Well then, I am going now. I’ll at least save you the next time you come, so don’t worry.”

Fenrir gets up from his seat.

He began to be suspicious of the villagers, and since his body is almost completely healed, he has no reason to stay here any longer.

In that way, Fenrir was about to leave the house, saying goodbye to the girl and slightly revealing his intention to erase this village.

Then,

“It hurts… Because I saw… “

“… What?”

Fenrir stopped walking at the girl’s words.

Towards her, her girl still lowered her head and spoke in a quiet voice.

“Because it looked very painful… So I saved him… It hurts like I’ll die if I leave it like this… Before… Just like my mother died without being helped by people… “

“!…”

A very simple girl’s words.

However, her words made her penrir feel a deep shock.

For the past few days, Fenrir has unintentionally been taken care of by a human girl.

But during that time, Fenrir had always drawn a line in her mind.

The line that this child is different from me.

No matter how much she helped, in the end this child was a human and she was a demon.

It is a relationship in which one side has no choice but to fall, and those who are born to die and kill each other.

However, the attitude of the girl who sympathized with the pain while watching her demons like that.

It was as if he was laughing at Fenrir’s attitude.

Even if it came from the head of an immature child.

The fact that such a thing is possible,

It made Fenrir slightly change his view of humans, which he had seen as simple pests until now.

“… Okay? I mean…”

With those words, Fenrir slowly approached the girl.

The strange feeling of intimidation felt inside,

On the girl’s face, along with her doubts, a little fear that could never be completely eliminated began to appear.

Then.

“!…”

A penril that gently caresses such a girl’s hair.

At this action, the girl’s face was covered with a light of surprise…

Looking at such a girl,

Fenrir put a wide smile on her lips for the first time, she said.

“Thank you for taking good care of me. I will come back later and make sure to repay this debt.”

“!… “

A Fenrir who speaks in a bright voice as if talking to her friend.

She recognizes the lively yet pleasant emotions contained within.

The girl said with a smile on her lips in response.

“Yes! Goodbye then!”

– “Ugh… “

A group of undead gathered in the forest.

At the center of it, Zeke was seriously contemplating while leaning on the scythe he had planted on the floor.

Five days already……

In the meantime, the undead, including Zeke, have been diligently searching this area, including the lower reaches of the river.

However, no matter how much he searched, there was no trace of Fenrir, and Zeke was wondering if he had to make a decision.

-‘First, tell the Demon King this fact… No, anyway, that’s a little bit like that. How long can I not borrow the master’s hand? For now, it’s better to report after capturing Kanna Castle… ’

Either way, it is difficult to decide easily.

So, since he couldn’t have been searching for Fenrir forever, Zeke began to lean toward choosing the former, which could be said to be the least stable.

Then.

“Hey, how are you?”

-“How can I be well in this situation… ?”

A familiar voice suddenly heard.

In response, Zeke belatedly opened his jawbone and turned his head in that direction.

– “!! Painting… Lord Fenrir!”

“Sorry, I’m a little late, right? Honestly, I could have come a little faster, but it’s not easy to find here.”

From noble mtl dot com

-“Ah… no. I am very glad that you are safe like this.”

Zeke speaks with a deep sense of relief.

After exchanging greetings for such a short but bold reunion, Fenrir immediately began to recheck his forces.

“Ummm… Fortunately, none of our forces have decreased.”

– “Yes, I refrained from fighting as much as possible except for searching for Fenrir. I guess I don’t have much room to run into people.”

“Well done. Well, now that I’m back, I’ll march straight ahead. We’ve wasted a lot of time, so you’d better hurry.”

– “Okay. I will obey your command, Lord Fenrir.”

Fenrir started moving right away leading the undead like that.

However, at this moment, she first turned to another place before striking Kanna Castle.

– “I see, there are human villages there?”

“Yes. It’s a small town that doesn’t even show up on maps, but it’s better to register first.”

– “Okay. We will immediately deploy the undead.”

“No, that place recommends surrender before the battle.”

– “Yes? What is that… “

“Do as I say. Anyway, our target is Kanna Castle, and even if we have to annihilate it later, we need to save our strength for now.”

It looks like it has its own way, but in reality, Fenrir arbitrarily tells contradictory stories.

Regarding this, Zeke thought about pointing it out accurately, but decided to stop soon.

As much as he is good at reading the atmosphere, I don’t know how he is. He recognized that Fenrir was reluctant to attack the village.

– “Okay. I will obey your order.”

With Fenrir’s instructions, they decided to invite surrender and reached the village.

As if they had already noticed them on the way, there was a wooden fence installed at the entrance to the village.

On the low outer wall were poorly armed soldiers.

And, at the center of it all, a group of paladins seem to have been dispatched from Canna Castle.

Although they couldn’t be our opponents in terms of power, looking at them showing their fighting spirit,

Zeke once again questioned Fenrir.

– “What should I do? Shall we invite you to surrender?”

“… Attack… “

“… Yes?”

At that moment,

Fenrir suddenly begins to emit an incredible killing spree.

The warm atmosphere turned into a searing hatred,

The leisure that felt calm began to be filled with intense anger.

An incomprehensible change that occurred in an instant.

Towards Zeke, who feels deep doubts and bewilderment about that fact.

Fenrir shouted in a voice that felt like madness.

“Everything… kill them all… Like those ugly people… Exterminate all of them, leaving no one left!”

A Fenrir that triggers her rage and emits mana full of life.

At this moment, she was seen in her eyes.

That hanging at the entrance of the village…

Devil. A sign that read

Was nailed to her chest.

The little girl’s body…
