TSFHA - Chapter 86



“You, what...”

“No! Wait a minute, come to your senses.”

I told everyone right away.

“Everyone get out!”

And I commanded Kali.

“Kali, take Alex out of the building. I’ll follow you.”

There is no time to explain the situation.

“And from now on, no matter what happens, protect Alex, not me. I’m fine.”

I asked her to do so, and Kali, though surprised, complied immediately.

“Yes, Miss.”

“Sister! Ugh, why is brother...”

Alex was dragged out by Kali.

"Emma, ​​take care of the kids! It's urgent! Don't worry about Merchen, I'll take him out!"

“...Yes, yes, my lady...”

Emma, ​​who was holding her chest in surprise, followed my instructions and took Melissa and Joseph out.

I looked back at Mario.

He is watching me with a strange expression as I try to handle the situation.

'Hey.'

I tilted my head slightly as I looked at him.

‘How on earth did this kid know the Prince’s true identity...?’

Merchen, that is, doesn't have many memories of Ratan before the return.

Just got caught by my eldest brother.

And from then on, he was used by my eldest brother.

But if Mario planned this and deliberately poisoned Merchen...

'Perhaps Mario was already chasing Ratan before returning!'

Since I'm not a god and I have no way of knowing things I didn't know before my regression, I have no choice but to accept this.

'But... didn't you find out that Ratan was a demon after you caught him?'

A demonic beast that parasitizes humans as its host.

I still clearly remember the time before the return when everyone was shocked and turned upside down, saying, "Is there such a thing as this kind of demon?"

However, Mario was suspicious of the identity of the Demon, even though he had never seen one.

I even reached the conclusion that Merchen = Ratan.

Well, if you trace the area where Ratan appeared, you could suspect a connection with Merchen...

'You even found out that the host has to be injured to become a monster?'

Very sharp.

I applaud Mario's talent.

In fact, even before my regression, this guy was the best at finding and hiding people.

“You’re smart! I admit it!”

Clap clap, I clapped.

Anyway, this incident gave us important information that 'Ratan' was being pursued in Wassenberg.

Of course, I did uncover Mario's purpose in a way that was ignorant and forced him in...

If it weren't for this method, I wouldn't have been able to figure out why Mario came here, even if I died and came back to life.

“I’m not really good at thinking. I’m just a person with a lot of talent.”

I said and approached Mario.

And then I leaned close to him and whispered.

“Are you having fun, you son of a bitch?”

"What?"

“Didn’t you feed it poison, knowing roughly what would happen if you fed it to it?”

“Wow... you crazy bitch. You knew what that was and picked it up, didn’t you?”

Mario opened his eyes wide and laughed in disbelief.

“You tried poisoning someone without even knowing what it was? If it were a normal person, you’d just tell them to drink the poison and die?”

Oh, and there's one more achievement.

The fact that I became convinced that this kid was beyond help.

“And what if your guess is correct?”

I added, quickly gathering up the tablecloth to cover Merchen later.

“You didn’t even think about how many people would die if Ratan caused a ruckus in such a crowded place, and you didn’t care, did you?”

And ran out of the restaurant.

Mario, of course, followed me. It was funny how he walked faster than I, far ahead, as if he didn't want to die.

Then Mario stops and looks back.

I didn't look back.

With a crash and a crashing sound... I could imagine the restaurant building collapsing and people being crushed to death without even looking.

“Crazy, crazy, crazy!”

Mario had his head raised for a long time and was looking behind me.

To Merchen, who had become Ratan.

With my mouth open, I became lost in thought.

“Gyaaaaak!”

“Ahhh! Aahhh!”

People nearby fled in shock. The sound of breaking objects echoed everywhere, along with screams.

Only then did I look back.

- Hmm. How long has it been since this happened?

***

'Hmm?!'

At that moment, Ryan, who had been running for a while, felt something strange.

Why do I suddenly want to see Vania?

“I hope she didn’t get into an accident or something.”

It's a beast-like intuition.

But even if that were the case, shr can't go back now.

‘I said it would take three more days for the monster to come out...’

He passed through Area C, the edge of the wall, and reached Area B, which is further inside.

Indeed, the further inland you go, the more damaged the ground becomes.

It looks like it was deliberately dug up with a shovel, and it's all over the place.

'I guess it's true that it's crawling out like a mole.'

And in the garrison inside the castle walls, each imperial knight was stationed as a commander.

How different is the situation from Zone D!

The gatekeepers of Sector D will not even create a fight, and the Third Prince's strong will to never send his demons that far can be felt...

At that time.

'What?'

A large falcon was seen flying towards them. The trained falcon landed on the arm of the imperial knight, the commander.

Soon, the commander shouted loudly.

"A demon has appeared in Area A0! Form your ranks and prepare for battle!"

...really?

Ryan's eyes widened.

The monster incident was expected in early February, and today is January 25th. Even if it came sooner than expected, everyone thought it would still take at least three more days.

“Hey! The monster came out already?”

Ryan ran over and asked, panting.

The commander frowned at Ryan, who was carrying a backpack at his side.

"That's right. But what are you doing? Haven't you even unpacked yet? Get ready quickly and assume your combat posture!"

“Why did you come out so quickly?!!!”

"What?"

The commander looked dumbfounded at the sight of Ryan in shock.

"We can only guess at the time of their appearance, but we can't be certain. So, just in case, wouldn't it be better to send troops two months in advance?"

“...”

But still, isn't this too unpredictable?

'So he came all the way to my house and made a strong request.'

Ryan immediately understood why the Third Prince had asked him to leave quickly because he was anxious.

“Is this your first expedition?”

When the suspicious commander asked, Ryan immediately took out Max's mercenary ID and showed it to him.

The commander's mouth fell open.

“Why is the agent who should be in Area A here now!”

"Oh, it might be a little late. That's why you're surprised to hear that a monster has already appeared."

“Hey, hurry up!!!”

“Yeah, thanks.”

Ryan ran further in.

***

At that moment, Vania again.

***

- Hmm. How long has it been since this happened?

The giant demon seemed to be happy to smell the fresh air after a long time.

After looking around...

He grinned and stretched out his arm towards me, who was closest to him.

The Eyes of the Mirror - The Shackles of Bondage

- Hmm?

I saw Ratan frozen in place with his arms outstretched.

A massive body with purple muscular skin. Those two horns are so scary every time I see them.

The demon's appearance was still large and hideous, but it quickly calmed down, perhaps because it was the second time I had seen it and was getting used to it.

And...

Since things have come to this, I decided to do some preliminary practice.

There are also some things you absolutely must know.

“Get in, you monster.”

I jumped over the dizzying debris around me and approached Ratan, saying.

- What are you?

“Do you want to go in after getting hit, or do you just want to go in?”

- What? Cheeky...

"Yeah, you piece of trash. You've killed so many people, you need to get beaten up once to make up for it."

I put my hand on Ratan's.

The Eye of the Mirror - The Fountain of Purification

White light flowed in.

- Kkaaa ...
