Episode 33. Breaking the limits (6)
Stella was moving away from Harbito.
Habito, who was following the Demon King’s order, took Stella in consideration and made her head to the palace first with the detached squadron. So that you can take revenge yourself.
Of course, Stella didn’t think of it as consideration. In the end, he only made up the idea that it was a ulterior motive to use him.
Stella didn’t have a bad relationship with Harvey, but she didn’t have a good relationship either. He just acted in moderation to achieve his purpose.
If he had known that it was Harbito who shamed him, he would never have been on good terms with him.
Just before Stella broke into the palace, she ran into an Incuro standing at the entrance.
“Hey. That I waited for a while.”
Kuro, who was holding a Zwei Hender on her shoulder, grinned. Stella frowned in displeasure.
Incuro’s appearance is very good-looking, unlike her behavior, but she couldn’t hide her impure feeling because her appearance was so unusual.
“…… You, obviously…… The one next to me when Prause killed my clone…….”
“Oh, do you remember?”
She was remembered because she used Incuro to create her image.
“Kyaa, as expected, my popularity is amazing.”
He said satisfactorily as he planted his Zweihender on the ground.
Stella felt disapproving of his reaction and looked around her pretending not to hear.
“Where are the other knights? Are you in an ambush?”
“No. I am the only one here.”
“What?”
Her head turned to Incuro.
“I liked you, so I wanted to talk with you alone. I asked the people of the kingdom to take it off for a while.”
“…… What are you and me talking about? You seem to be an imperial person in the first place. Why are you here without protecting the empire?”
“The Empire has a guy who is arrogant, rude, and doesn’t seem to care about everything in the world. You can leave it to him.”
Inkuro said, thinking of Prause.
“…… You don’t seem to be a dependable person?”
“But that guy…… Not a bad guy.”
Her annoyance surged as Incuro muttered. Her expression crumpled and she began to grumble.
“Oh, sir! Why am I praising that guy?!”
Since he was praising the guy who beat him, his pride was hurt for no reason. It wasn’t a compliment at all to hear from others, though.
“So there is a trustworthy person in the Empire, so he came to kill us easygoing people?”
“You are too perverse. Didn’t I just say I came to talk?”
“…… Humans and demons have nothing to talk about. If you intend to stop me, I have no choice but to kill you.”
She gets into her battle-ready stance. Even after seeing that, Incuro did not pull her sword out of the ground.
“You know what?”
“?”
“That you became like that because of demons, not humans?”
As Kuro spat out, Stella’s ears pricked up.
“…… What do you mean?”
“Marquis Lecter, who said that Count Forna was a pawn of the demons, was also taken advantage of by the demons called Kyokyo.”
Kyokyo was a demon that Stella also knew. She was also a demon belonging to the same corps, and she knew that information about the Aeum kingdom came from her. Although she is dead now.
“So?”
“Most of the citizens were also brainwashed. Of course, Marquis Lecter’s scum bastard was threatened by Kyo-Kyo, but he was only thinking of using it against him. To increase his wealth and enhance her reputation.”
“So what? What does it matter? After all, our family… Family name…… It wasn’t the demons who killed them, but the royalty and nobles…… ! That fact never changes!”
“…… If the demons came and threatened to kill your entire family if you didn’t follow their advice, you wouldn’t have followed them, would you?”
“Shut up. Don’t make that f*cking assumption.”
“Even you had no choice but to—”
“I told you to shut up!”
Stella can’t hold back her anger and runs towards Incuro. Forming her sword with her demonic energy, she slashed his head with the sword. At that, Incuro pulls out Zweihender from the ground and blocks it.
Kaang!
“This… I don’t like a woman who is so fresh. Her appearance is also a preference.”
His muscles expand and his blood vessels stand out. He blocked it with all his might.
‘Hey, if a woman has this much strength, how good can tightening be? Won’t she be cut?’
He was thinking about s*x dripping even though he had a hard time enduring Stella’s power. If he uttered it in front of Prause, he’d say, “That’s crazy.” Would have said
Eventually, Incuro pushed Stella away as her arm was about to give up.
“There is nothing left to take revenge. It just feels like a waste of days filled with anger and resentment.”
“Shut up!”
Kang! Kang!
You hit him harder than before.
“How are you going to fill that void? Are you going to commit suicide when everything is over?”
“I told you to shut up! Who are you to judge my life! What do you care if I live or die?!”
Ka—Ah!
Inkuro cuts off Stella’s sword.
“What does it matter? You were mine from the start I don’t want to see my own person die.”
“What…… !”
While Stella was making stupid noises, the demons she brought with her detached unit moved. With a big movement, she poured her magic and weapons toward the empty Incuro.
“Can’t you see I’m talking, you ignorant bastards!”
The instant Incuro shouted nervously, a dragon made of fire coiled around him.
“Ifrit, kill all those bastards.”
[Inkuro, I cannot directly get involved in the human world. You do it knowingly. And what do you mean by biting me to death when I’m not even a dog?]
“Sheesh!”
Inkuro clicks his tongue and grants the fire attribute to Zweihender. Then the temperature of the blade rose and the flames soared.
“Stay still, Stella. Once you’ve dealt with all of them, let’s have a serious talk.”
“What?!”
Inkuro gave a thumbs up to Stella, who looked at her with an absurd expression, and kicked the ground. He swung his sword at the detached team and swallowed the demons one by one with fierce flames.
‘Are you crazy? A human who wants to talk to the demons…….’
Stella, who came to her senses belatedly, moves her demonic energy and connects it to Incuro’s mana.
‘I have nothing to say!’
“「Shaping」.”
Look into Incuro’s shame-filled memories. It was impossible for him to change into Prause due to the restriction that once used memories could not be used again.
As I look into his memories, countless scenes of him having rough s*x with women pass by.
‘It’s really disgusting to see it again!’
In the end, I went through all my memories, but there was no way I could get power from him.
It was a limited limitation of imagery.
‘What, what kind of people are there? Does this man have no shame?’
As a person goes through life, he or she feels countless shame. However, Incuro never once felt shame aside from the memory of being defeated by Prause without even being able to attack.
In a sense, he had excellent self-esteem.
“Okay. I’ll just press down with my power!”
Stella, who failed to form, dashed at Incuro. She thrust her sword at Incuro, who was slashing the members of her detachment.
Kang!
The Incuro blocked it with a quick reaction, but it couldn’t withstand the tremendous force and pierced the wall of the house and got stuck inside.
“Ah…… Where is the sudden hit? We have to kill those who get in the way.”
“…… You’re not good enough to be alive.”
Stella’s demonic energy comes out powerfully after entering the house.
“Not necessarily. It’s trash, so there are things you can do about it.”
He gets up after dusting himself off.
“For example, making you my woman?”
“Don’t f*ck with me!!”
Even though Incuro accurately received her attack, the furniture inside her was smashed and the whole house shook.
“Me, I mean it. I have no intention of stopping destruction if you wish.”
“What?”
The strength in Stella’s grip was slightly lost. Kuro, who was aiming for that moment, cut off her sword and swung her sword at her throat.
But Zweihender never cut her throat. Incuro just quietly looked into her eyes.
“…… What are you doing? Why don’t you kill me?”
“——Go.”
In Kuro lowered her sword and said.
“What?”
“Are you going to destroy the kingdom? Sun.”
He pointed to the palace visible through the hole in the wall.
“You, what is this…… !”
“I know people who have the same eyes as you. Since I lived in a slum when I was young, I pride myself on knowing it better than anyone else.”
“I don’t care about anything like your life—”
“You were thinking of dying?”
“…… !”
“It’s obvious that no matter what I say to you, you won’t listen. It would be even more so if revenge was the only reason to live in this world. If so, do all the revenge you wanted to do.”
“Do you know what you are talking about? If I invade the royal palace and kill all the members of the royal family, there will be a great division!”
“What? It’s none of my business.”
After Stella became her demon, she was perplexed by the way of thinking that was different from the humans she had met so far, but for the first time in her heart, a thing called ‘curiosity’.
“You are crazy…… ? How could you do that to a demon?”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a human or a demon. I just want to have you because I like you. I have to have what I want at all costs.”
“…… How dare you treat me like an object?”
“I have never handled anything. That’s what it says.”
He passed Stella as he spoke.
“Anyway, if you feel like dying after taking revenge, come to me. I will never let you think that I want to die.”
“…… We destroy the empire…… No, it won’t stop until humans are extinct. By the time I get my revenge, the empire will be in danger. Will I be able to maintain that attitude even then?”
Incuro stopped at Stella’s provocative words.
“Don’t be fooled. Just because I don’t kill you doesn’t mean I won’t kill other demons. And there are many guys stronger than me in the Empire. Revenge ends with revenge. If you do more than that, Prause will try to kill you too. Do you hate that?”
“I am already dirty in body and mind! He killed countless people! You still like me?! Aren’t you crazy?!”
“You’re not much different from me, what.”
Stella couldn’t say anything as she recalled the past he saw in the form.
It was because I found out that he sold himself for a living and committed murder when he lived in the slums.
“Are you condescending?”
“Bird, not condescension…… !”
“Okay then. Take care of it.”
“You…… ! What if the fact that you saved me is known…….”
“You said you were mine. I’m kind to my woman, so I’ll take that much responsibility. So make your own decisions.”
As Kuro went forward, she looked back at her once more.
“Oh, and what Prause said. They say you still have a chance to become a human.”
“… ….”
From noble mtl dot com
I was momentarily seduced by the idea that I could become a human, but I quickly shook my head.
Stella knew it well.
He knew he had come too far to become human again.
“It doesn’t mean much. Just know Because I don’t care if you’re a human or a demon.”
With that last word, Incuro is about to leave the house, but the demons of the detached team that remained are attacked.
“These bastards!”
As Kuro tried to raise her sword, the bodies of the demons who were aiming for her surprise were torn in the air. Seeing that, Incuro’s eyes turned to Stella, who was about to land on the ground.
“What is it, you? Were you watching me?”
“…… Is the price of a life Climb.”
Her real reason was that it was difficult for anyone to know the conversation she and Incuro had had.
“Hey, you talk too hard.”
“Go away.”
Stella glanced at him and spurred the ground to disappear.
“They tell me to go off and go off.”
Inkuro smiled as he stared in the direction she disappeared.
That’s also the case because the direction Stella flew was not the royal palace, but the territory where the Forna count family used to be.
“Hmm.”
Incuro stretched himself and looked towards the sound of the explosion.
The sky is turning red. To be precise, the clouds were dyed red. One side of the kingdom began to be engulfed in showers of blood.
‘It’s not over yet… ….’
“Ehh. Are you going to be able to face the corps commander alone?”
[Inkuro, you are not alone. Aren’t I there?]
“Yes. Ifrit. Would you like to risk your life?”
He started moving his stride, setting up a zweihender.
