111 – Now I Need to Know
“Is it a threat?”
“It doesn’t matter how you understand it.”
Saaa-
Coldly replying, Ashera slowly raised mana.
As if he would break the agreement at any moment, as if he would untie the chains that held him back.
…… After that, it was as if he would kill the man in front of him right away.
“Didn’t you say you would never take out that black mana again?”
“…… Shut up.”
In spite of Ashera’s insults, Shasar remained calm.
Shrugging her shoulders, he similarly raised mana.
A red haze began to rise.
“…… Gear, you intend to stick with me.”
Ashera murmured, and Shasar let out a smirk.
“Well, how about it? Maybe seeing what you do makes a difference.”
“… ….”
Silent Ashera.
Then she flashed an eerie color in her eyes.
Quaaa!
The black mana that flowed from her arms soon began to distort into a storm.
“…… Don’t try to test my patience, Shasar.”
“It is a misunderstanding to test your patience. Asherah.”
As he answered naturally, Shasar made up an expression that seemed genuinely sorry.
Even in the middle of it, the grip on White’s neck wasn’t released.
As Shera’s expression crumpled, he opened his mouth again.
“I just want to kill the ‘enemy’ who tried to harm my comrades, but I don’t know where you have reason to be angry.”
Saying that, at the same time, she casts her eyes at Violet.
Ashera gritted her teeth.
…… It’s disgusting.
From noble mtl dot com
It’s so hateful, and at the same time resentful enough to make me want to kill it, I want to tear that man to pieces right now.
There was no end to what I wanted to say.
In the first place, approaching Serpia through spirit world magic must have been a plan that included Shasar’s own will.
It was unreasonable to think that Violet was arbitrary.
…… On such a subject, even after killing Serpia in the end, showing such shamelessness.
It was so disgusting that I felt my head pounding.
“… ….”
…… But.
Even so.
There was nothing I could do.
I couldn’t draw magic to kill him right now.
…… Even thinking of the one and only disciple who was captured by him.
“… ….”
A stillness descended, exuding a cool and chilly atmosphere.
Ashera and Shasar stare at each other and build momentum without retreating.
…… It was in the middle of just looking at each other and repeating meaningless threats.
Smile-
The corner of Shasar’s mouth was raised in displeasure.
Soon, the gaze turned to White, who was being held in his own hands.
“Is this boy that important to you? To the point where you turned a blind eye to the death of Serpia, who stood by your side until the end when you were called the Black Demon King?”
“… ….”
Ashera’s expression hardened.
At least momentarily, a woman with black hair flashes through my mind.
Shasar’s words continued.
“You are not a disciple who was accepted on a whim. It was more than that. This is amazing, Asherah.”
“…… Shut that mouth.”
Despite Asherah’s restraint, Shah Sar did not stop his words.
Rather, he draws a smile as if he is even more excited, and parting his lips again.
“If this boy were to die, what expression would you make?”
He added that he was very curious about it, and Shah Sar tightened his grip again.
Aww!
“…… !”
Ashera’s eyes widened.
She instantly condensed her mana and flinched her body as if she were going to shoot her at any moment.
“…… Kut.”
…… In the end, there was no action to be seen.
As long as the hostage is held, the options are still not very wide.
Ashera raised the blade of her hand again, biting her lip lightly with a sorrowful look on her face.
“I’m not kidding. If you want to do any harm to that boy, I will slit Violet’s head right away.”
“… ….”
His eyes flash again and again, bringing out a clear and unwavering intent to kill.
“Then I’ll tear your limbs off, and I’ll tear your whole body apart. Then, the name itself as the 12 demon kings will be erased from the continent.”
“Unusually bloody tone, Ashera.”
Grinning, Shah Sar spread his arms wide as if showing off.
“Do you think it will be possible? Against all 12 demon lords, including me?”
“Does it seem impossible? It seems to me that I am simply bluffing.”
“You are full of confidence.”
“What else can I not overflow? I’m thinking of cutting Violet’s head first, even right now.”
Continued conversation, but the longer the question and answer, the more bloody the atmosphere changed.
The mana emitted by the two strongest Demon Lords, their momentum.
Awesome, damn-
…… Slowly, it was causing cracks in the space itself around it.
“… ….”
“… ….”
There was silence again.
Without backing down at all, they glared at each other as if they were going to kill each other.
…… And within.
“Well, good.”
As soon as he spat out that lightly, Shah Sar smiled and released his grip on White.
As if he had no regrets, he acted without hesitation.
Did my own calculations come and go in my head?
Thump!
White’s body fell helplessly to the ground, followed by Shasar.
“Violet is an indispensable element in my plan, so an equivalent exchange will be established.”
Grinning, he flicked his hand.
“I will keep my promise. I’ll save this boy, so hand Violet over here.”
“… ….”
Ashera’s brow furrowed strangely.
…… Should I believe it or not?
I couldn’t be careless.
Even if you said that right away, you never know when you’ll act on a whim and harm White.
To discuss trust with the man in front of me, there were too many things I suffered.
So, the worries continued for a long time.
…… Continued, but nonetheless.
In the end, there was only one conclusion.
In the end, there was no choice.
Because White’s safety should be prioritized above all else.
Sug-
Slowly dissipating mana, Ashera slowly withdrew from her Violet.
The blades of the hands, which flashed with sharp anticipation, also lost mana and returned to their normal state.
“…… One last warning. If you break your promise, I will kill you right here.”
“I’m glad I don’t have to worry about dying.”
As if telling Asherah not to worry, Shah Sar shook her hand roughly.
Muttered while doing so.
“This is bloody, really. Does that mean that this boy is important to you…? ….”
“… ….”
Ashera’s expression turned grim, but she didn’t care and Shah Sar let her laugh out.
“Even if you take the risk of breaking the pact, wouldn’t it be natural for you to make such a guess if you would even consider killing me in case of emergency?”
“…… That.”
“Well, this is it for now.”
As if not expecting an answer, Shah Sar waved her hand as she cut off Ashera.
Ugh-
Mana moved, and a red haze lifted White’s body into the air.
And at the same time, he throws it away with a jerk.
Towards none other than Ashera.
“…… ?!”
Naturally, Ashera, who couldn’t help but be taken aback, stretched out her hand in bewilderment.
Hook!
By the time she safely embraced her White, her Violet had already fallen into Shah Sar’s hands.
“… ….”
But I don’t care.
Not paying attention to that, Ashera checked White’s condition.
…… As you can see, there doesn’t seem to be any major trauma.
There may have been internal damage as much as he lost his mind, but at least it wasn’t something that could be known right away.
“…… Whoa.”
What escaped from Ashera’s lips was a sigh of relief.
“This is quite funny. I never thought the day would come when that black demon king would be swept away by human kindness……. Does that mean that you, too, were human?”
“… ….”
Not responding to Shah Sar’s muttering from behind, Ashera slowly raised her body.
Her cold eyes lit up as she held White in her arms with careful movements, as if handling her treasure.
“…… Go back, Shasar. Still, I have no intention of joining your plans.”
At some point, the tone of voice had returned to its original state.
With inorganic eyes flashing, Ashera looked at Shasar.
When he said that, Shasar gently opened his eyes wide, then smiled lightly.
“That’s too bad. You were the only solution It’s really absurd, but in reality you’re not the only one caught up in the pact.”
“Even without the agreement, you cannot do anything to me.”
Asherah responded coldly, and Shah Sar shook her head slightly.
“Still very confident. It’s laughable that you deserve it.”
After saying that, there was an uncomfortable silence for a while.
They didn’t speak to each other, just exchanged glances.
Then, Ashera soon focused her attention on White again, and at that point, Shasar must have judged that there was no more business.
“…… Well, getting Violet back was a success. I’ll just let you go.”
As he raised red mana and drew a magic circle, he uttered his last words.
“Today goes like this, but there is no next. If I ever see that boy again, I will kill him without hesitation.”
At the same time as an unpleasant smirk, a radiance of red light covered Shah Sar and his Violet.
Hwaaah!
“See you again, Asherah.”
After muttering like that, the magic circle started working.
In an instant, the two demon kings disappeared without a trace.
“… ….”
Silent Ashera.
A meaningful difference began to settle in her eyes.
Sarak-
Carefully sweeping White’s white blonde hair, she bit her lower lip lightly with her complex look.
“…… To worry about Why did you do something so reckless?”
…… Then remember
As soon as she saw Shah Sar, she saw White as she ran away, exploding her mana as if she had lost her sanity.
“… ….”
Uh-
She gnashed her teeth lightly.
There was an obvious light of anger on his face.
“…… I need to know now, disciple.”
She clenched her fists violently, muttering her out of reach.
…… Yeah i need to know now
What her one and only disciple is hiding.
What is the secret, and what the hell happened at the same time.
It is said that killing the fourth demon king, promised by White, was not successful.
She didn’t intend to wait any longer.
No matter how hard you ask, she seems to have a need to know the truth.
“… ….”
…… However, nonetheless.
If her own disciple doesn’t answer at all.
At that time–
“…… I will force her to open her mouth.”
…… So, please.
I want her to tell her truth with her own mouth.
As she muttered inwardly, Ashera brushed her bangs roughly.
Her golden eyes caught the light and flashed fiercely.
