224 – Promise (5)
#12
Tap, tap, tap─
‘I’m sure.’
Mu thought while moving quickly.
‘Something is happening.’
As she walked, she bumped into many people. However, when Mew pushed, she pushed, but she was never a person to be pushed. Sometimes she was pushed, knocked over, and swearing at her, while she was constantly moving her feet.
It was noisy around. In the midst of that dizzying noise, Mew selected and listened to only the necessary information.
The captain of the Imperial Guard. War hero. A very rare combination is said to have appeared around here.
In the case of the captain of the Imperial Guard, Mew knew something. Was he dispatched as part of a high alert? Even so, the next thing was important.
‘Is this here, Ezio?’
How many hours have you already wandered since morning? Mew managed to find a hint.
In addition to the captain of the guards and war hero, another person spoke briefly with them. It was as if I knew who it was. The person who was with Elena heard that it was the Epic Class from last time. As was the case last time, if it was an Epic class with a deep connection to the war hero Elena, only one existed as far as Mu knew.
Once you’ve found his trail, it’s time to go after him. Mew couldn’t waste a minute or a second of her time.
It’s an affair involving Gileon and Elena, no one else. Of course that would be important. That’s great too. Perhaps Ezio was caught up in something that could decide the fate of the Frontier. No, Ezio might have volunteered to help them, but… The important thing is not this.
Mew bit his lip and squeezed the hilt of his sword.
‘Let’s enjoy the festival again next time.’
Does he know that he has a sixth sense?
A feeling that something is about to happen. Mu’s intuition was quite often right at times. It won’t be any different this time. His own senses would not be wrong, as always, then something must have happened to Ezio. Mu had already made a decision.
‘Did you lie to me?’
In fact, he might have wished he had cared a little more. Ezio’s atmosphere as he watched the fireworks last night… It looked a little different than usual.
Still, I had a good day yesterday. It would have been more enjoyable without the other distractions, but Mew was satisfied with just having a good day with Ezio. I wish the good times continued a little longer. So I hoped nothing would happen today, but in the end, nothing happened.
‘… Under.’
Nara is a woman too.

Jingle jingle.
It’s like being so open-minded and looking for him with a single apology and a courageous kiss. He’s not a child who can’t fall asleep without a doll at night, and he’s the kind of person who gets anxious so quickly if you don’t see him nearby. Aren’t you pathetic?
What the hell is love?
… It was then.
“Ouch!”
A short scream came from nearby. Myuu’s head turned toward it for an instant. He looked straight ahead with his brow narrowed. The voice was that of a man, but thicker and more crude than Ezio’s.
Looks like they were selling ice cream on the street, there were people lined up there.
Screams erupted from there.
As expected.
“What, what. You! Why are you suddenly doing this… aaagh!”
A male student at the end of the waiting line grabbed me by the neck. Mu’s eyes suddenly widened. Because she had just seen the short-haired girl sticking her mouth into her boy’s neck and biting it off.
The male student stumbled and fell backwards. Thump, she fell. The female student climbed on top of her male student. Then, holding the hand of the struggling male student, she asked again. Aduk-
“Quaaagh! aaagh!”
“What the fuck!”
“Kyaaagh! Fuse! Call the priest!”
“Security! Where are the guards!”
Blood splattered. The bricks on the floor were stained bright red. The schoolgirl chewed on the piece of flesh she had bitten into her mouth. She shook her head as if she didn’t like it. And again she put her mouth on the boy’s neck.
Suck it up. Like a mosquito
“A billion, a billion, a billion, a billion….”
“Water… heavy… Sore throat… I’m thirsty… !”
The boy’s complexion soon turned pale.
The human was biting the human. It was a grotesque sight. People screamed and scattered around. Some people rushed to call the priest, while others rushed to stop the girl.
Kaaak! After the schoolgirl opened her mouth glistening with her blood, she ran towards the man. She and she exclaimed.
“Mooooo!”
“Aagh! Oh, no! Don’t do it!”
The strength of the female students was considerable. She climbs back on top of the person who was pushed in vain. And he slammed her mouth again like she just did.
“—Huh!”
The light flashed.
Someone jumped off the roof of a three-story building. It was too huge and heavy to be human. But when it accelerated and landed on the floor, surprisingly no impact occurred. Judging by the weight and speed alone, the bricks should have broken into fragments.
The light burst and the schoolgirl closed her eyes and let out her scream. However, someone quickly pushed the female student away, and she carried the person underneath her far away. After that, he sprinted back to the scene and stood right in front of the female student who was looking for the next target.
“Kaaagh!”
“…… Is it the same here? Shit.”
The knight of light, Gileon, let out a groan inside his helmet.
A female student who was trying to even covet human blood to quench her thirst rushed at Gileon. Her hair was sprung, and human flesh clung to her teeth. Her mouth was covered with bright red blood. Looking like a ghoul, Gileon’s expression became more and more rotten.
“Kaaagh! Very depressing!”
“… Have your rest.”
Gil Leon stretched out her hand in front of her, resting her gauntlet on the forehead of the schoolgirl charging at her.
“Sleep.”
He recited a small chant.
Paaat─
In an instant, a warm light spread around, and the female student who had been waving her arm drooped. She slumped to the floor, closing her eyes as if asleep.
Gil Leon laid her girl down and quickly moved on to her next move. Approached by her male student who was on the verge of dying from losing too much of her blood, she began to heal her with sacred arts. The moaning and screaming of her male student gradually stopped as her mass of light flowed into the affected area. Gil Leon then took a quick look around her.
“…… !”
As expected.
The situation was dire.
“Uh, huh? Suddenly… her hair… Uh… ….”
The person staggered as if dizzy, then collapsed on the floor and started snoring at her.
“Ahahahahaha! Ahahahaha! Funny! Ahahahaha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Crane! Ha ha ha!”
She suddenly sits down and bursts into madness.
“What a waste! She only needed a little more! Why! Fuck! Why! Why dear! Why! Such a dog baaa! aaagh!”
A person who couldn’t accept the result of the mini game and started to get angry, then screamed and had seizures.
“Please save me! Help me! Help me! I’m scared! Help me! Over there, over there! Help me! aaagh! aaagh! Run away!”
A person who is in a state of panic, piercing through the confused crowd with power and running somewhere while knocking them over.
‘… It’s not even a fuss.’
Gileon sighed and gripped the gauntlet tightly.
“Is this what you were aiming for….”
The anomaly wasn’t just happening here.
It didn’t cover the entire frontier, but obviously the same problem was happening on the side where Elena was, and on the side where the general security forces were deployed.
This makes it very difficult to rectify the situation.
Very, very.
It wasn’t that the devil didn’t rampage. He had been planning all day long to go on a rampage.
Spread the shadows everywhere so that the hunters who come to catch him cannot move carelessly. In order to settle the situation, not to be able to move even a single step from each location.
Because, the runaway humans were the target of suppression, not the target of elimination. Simple guard articles would not be enough, and a smooth suppression would be possible only when priests and professors came. Until then, it is impossible to leave the site. It was clear that leaving it like this would cause more confusion.
Gileon was acutely aware of his responsibility.
‘It was a mistake.’
I wasn’t completely careless, but I never thought I’d be able to use this many clones. The alter ego of the shadow that appeared for a moment and disappeared slowly disappeared after causing people to run wild. In order to put an end to this great chaos that was born, the use of wide-area sacred arts seemed inevitable.
‘The main body is not here. Then….’
Deliberately causing a commotion in a small and rare way, making him plan to subjugate himself… After dispersing the punitive force as it is now, the main body must have started activities to achieve its goal somewhere. In other words, diversion operation. It’s not an operation that can usually be done alone, but….
‘… Did I underestimate the enemy too much?’
If the festival had been canceled, it might have been possible to reduce the damage even a little more, but looking at the immediate impact, it was a planned fact that there would be a big commotion. No, did the damage really decrease? It’s a demon with such a wide range of activities. It was a very uncertain future.
“… !”
At that time, there was something wriggling up from the shadow of the fainting boy. Without hesitation, Gileon stretched out his hand and chanted an incantation, and an intense light burst out. The shadow slowly faded from the end. This was also an alter ego.
‘… There is no end.’
Gileon quickly stood up.
Sereung─
I pulled out my sword and started preparing for the chanting of wide-area sacred arts.
‘… There is only one way left.’
Actually, the subjugation party wasn’t just the three of Elena, Gileon, and Ezio. Not only the SS, but also some of the frontier teachers and faculty who know the situation were mobilized for surveillance and subjugation. However, there were only three key personnel.
The promise not to be more than 100 meters away from each other had already been broken. Elena was supposed to be moving quickly and subduing the rampaging people, and so was Gileon.
Ezio is… I do not know. The button signal has not yet sounded. This means that the body was not found.
‘I want him to take care of the main body as quickly as possible.’
Gileon gripped the sword in reverse. He grabbed the sword hilt with both hands and slammed it down with all his might into the ground.
Quad Deuk─
A demon with this much power was probably not an ordinary demon. How many demons are still alive when the war is over? That’s why most of them were strong.
Can a single student handle such a demon? Gileon decided to put his hopes on Ezio’s ability, no, on Elena’s words.
I am not a liar. I was sure of his skill. He called because he was helpful.
‘Did he say that there was a possibility that he was the target?’
It’s just a possibility.
However, if the culprit behind all this is really Ezio, then Gileon… No, he decided not to think about it now.
Manned operation failed. Contrary to expectations, the main body never showed up.
The strict vigilance was clearly breached, and they belatedly set out to deal with the situation. From the moment the demons allowed the invasion, disturbances were already planned.
The situation and characteristics were not good. A demon who controls the shadows. A demon everywhere and nowhere. On the other hand, the frontier is vast and wide. No matter how densely the manpower was deployed, there were bound to be holes.

Just like now.
There was chaos everywhere. The teachers and knights who arrived as support after being contacted seemed to be suppressing the people one by one, but the situation had not yet been sorted out.
What will happen if this is not handled properly… Gileon didn’t even want to imagine.
“…… Whoa.”
I took a deep breath.
With his sword driven into the gap between the bricks, he starts chanting.
“…… Creators who seek salvation and rest, I ask under the full light—”
The highest level of sacred art, Heaven’s rain.
The first words of the chant for him finally came out.
So….
While Gileon was putting the entire area to sleep.
“Get out of the way.”
“… ….”
Myu, who was looking for Ezio even more anxiously after seeing the situation getting worse, was moving through an alley to take a shortcut.
There was a confrontation with someone under the outer wall of a building.
“I don’t have time to play with you. Go away.”
Mu’s expression was very stern. If he didn’t get out of the way right away, he had the momentum to cut them in two with a sword. Actually, it was meant to be. Mew had already pulled out the sword from the scabbard.
‘Why is this bastard suddenly like this again?’
The man who blocked himself.
Carmelo Bargrid, with her cold, hard, inorganic face, just stared at him without saying anything.
But when Mew moves one step, she moves herself in that direction as well. So Carmelo continued to block Mew.
The feverish Mew shouted with her teeth clenched.
“Oh, get out of the way! Kill it! Do you look like a joke?!”
“… ….”
As expected, there was no answer.
However.
Smile.
‘…… Did you laugh?’
In an instant, I saw the corner of Carmelo’s mouth curl.
“What are you?”
“… ….”
“What! From earlier! Blow off an arm?!”
Staying silent is also suspicious.
Perhaps it was because she had just seen a terrifying sight, and Carmelo in front of her looked even more frightened.
‘This bastard is really…… !’
We must not delay any longer.
Thinking of that, when Mew tried to ignore Carmelo and pass by.
“As much as you.”
“…… What?”
Carmelo’s mouth snapped open.
She twitched her chin and smiled eccentrically.
“You are mine.”
That moment.
The long shadow of Carmelo hit Mew.
