“W-What are you going to do!? E-Even if you look like a child, I know that your true form was that snake earlier! As the Deputy Head of the Vigilante Force, I will …… subjugate you!”
“Heh~. What are you going to do with a sword made of ordinary iron?”
“Of course, I’m going to …… Huh!?”
The Soaring Serpent walks up to Julie, who is holding her sword, trembling slightly, and grabs the tip of the sword with her small hand.
Then, the sharp tip of the sword bends and changes shape as easily as a piece of candy.
“You said it yourself just now, didn’t you!? That I am the snake. That’s right, I am the snake that rules over fire. I can soften iron at high temperatures.”
“Hiii …… M-Monster!”
“Calling me a monster is too much. I’m still a …… well, whatever. Alex has already told me not to attack you, after all. That’s why, I’m going to make you want to submit yourself to him.”
“What are you talking about!? A-As the deputy head of the vigilante force …… As someone who has been given the job of Lord Knight to protect the city, I will not give in!”
“Fufufu …… I wonder how long you can stay strong? Oh, Alex doesn’t have to make a move for someone like her, okay?”
I don’t know what the Soaring Serpent is going to do to Julie, but if it’s too much, I have to step in to help her.
But just as I was thinking that, I saw a Shadow Wolf rushing through the hole in the wall that had just been broken by the Soaring Serpent’s flames.
I had to deal with that one first, so I started running toward the hole…
“D-Don’t! I’m not going to resist anymore-pon! Just spare my life, please-pon!”
Mami, unaware of the Shadow Wolf approaching from behind, begged me for her life …… but I don’t have time to explain!
“Mami, don’t move!”
“Noooo! I haven’t even had sex yet, I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”
I drew my sword and was about to kill the Shadow Wolf when Mami, in child form, cried out …… and something oddly shaped appeared.
“My name is, Asmodeus. The one who, summoned me is ……”
“You’re in the way! [Holy Cross]!”
The crying Mami seems to have unintentionally caused a strange monster to appear, so I quickly silenced it and defeated the Shadow Wolves first.
Then, I blocked the hole with a stone wall to prevent other shadow wolves from coming in.
When I was relieved that I managed to get there in time…
“How dare you …… I won’t forgive you! I won’t forgive you!”
The monster named Asmodeus was coming towards me.
I didn’t think it was a very strong monster, but it seems to be tenacious.
…… Could it be a monster that is resistant to the holy attribute?
If that’s the case…
“[Flametongue]!”
I activated the skill that I got from Valerie to create a flaming sword.
“What’s that!? Alex …… that’s so cool!”
“Fufufu. That’s my skill.”
“How nice …… Ah! Is it something like this?”
“Wah! How come you only saw it once and you can use my skill …… Wait, isn’t it a little different? It’s more like a spear, like Alex’s thing.”
The Soaring Serpent and Valerie are talking about something, but I put that aside and slash Asmodeus with the flaming sword in my hand.
…… But, it doesn’t seem to be that effective.
Is it resistant to flames too?
If so …… How about this!
“[Holy Cross]!”
Using the paladin’s attack skill with the flaming sword, a red cross cuts through Asmodeus …… but this time, it seems to have worked.
Apparently, the holy attribute attack worked, but his physical strength is just too high.
“Alex! That’s so cool! Then, I’ll do it too …… I think it’s like this.”
“Wait, you! You were told not to attack the human woman! If you poke her with a spear like that …… oh, you mean like that?”
“Fufufu. I’ve removed its ability to kill. Now, when will this woman fall?”
“Wow. I’d understand if it’s the real thing, but to put the fake you created in the butt is …… But I remember that Shelly and the human called Monica did it in there too.”
What are the Soaring Serpent and Valerie doing!?
I thought, as I heard a voice coming from the side…
“Kuk. But, if it goes on like this, it won’t end! How about …… this!”
Asmodeus disperses and envelops Mami.
“Huh!? W-What!? What is this black thing!?”
“I am, Shikiyoku …… your, companion is ……”
It seems that Asmodeus, who thought Mami was one of my companions, did something to her at the moment of his death, but what on earth did he do?
As I was wondering what Shikiyoku means…
[You have defeated the demon Asmodeus, a servant of the Demon King. Therefore, I will grant you the extra skill “Inheritance”.]
I heard that voice I sometimes hear.
…… Wait.
The monster that Mami summoned earlier was a demon!?
It was very weak, but is it okay to get an extra skill from something like that?
[The Inheritance skill is ……]
“Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!”
As the mysterious voice was about to explain the extra skill, Mami, who had been hit by Asmodeus’ “last attack?”, began to suffer.
