At that time, Vania.
***
As soon as the incapacitation was released, Ratan was beautifully restrained!
- I, am I previous to you, right?
The pitiful monster broke out in a cold sweat because of how ominous my expression looked before the torture.
"Well, you're precious."
You were so precious that I was deliberately trying to restrain you dozens of times!
Before I even educate him, I'm going to tie him up for fear of running away into Merchen's body!
"I'll protect you passionately, just as you are precious to me."
- No, wait! ... Ugh!
"...?"
However, before he could reach the spring of purification, Ratan frowned as if he was feeling pain.
- Wow, uh, how, how... Cough!
"Huh? Are you asking for beating~! What kind of trick is it?"
At that moment, the altitude of my vision, which had been floating in the air in the hands of Ratan, suddenly began to decrease.
"Ugh."
My body slowly sank.
"...?!"
"...!!"
Before I knew it, I was hugging the neck of a handsome man who was blinking his blue eyes.
"Va, Vania...?"
"Prince...?"
What is this situation?
How didi Ratan, who was bound, get in by himself?
"Ugh!"
As I was thinking, Nike's hand grabbed my waist, and I stood right up a little away.
Then,
Nike's blue cloak,
Flutter!
Blocking my vision for a moment.
The scene that unfolded soon.
Nike, who had instantly wrapped his cloak around Merchen's body, was sitting on one knee in front of him.
"Are you okay, Prince?"
"Oh, yes. I'm fine."
The dangerous sight of two dazzling, handsome men facing each other.
I had the illusion that the pollen was scattering around.
How about this? If we're talking about the visuals, I looked like an extra. It looks like the hero, Nike, came to rescue Prince Merchen, not me...
'No, no, now is not the time to think like this!'
I was horrified.
"Prince! I must have bound Ratan. How did he get in?"
"That's right! Well, I absolutely have no idea what's going on..."
Merchen jumped up.
Oops!
I feel like the cloak that Nike just put on top of his naked body will come off...
"Hey!"
... But Nike quickly fastened it again. It was almost a pose of hugging Merchen.
"Be careful."
"Haha, I'm sorry."
"..."
What is it really? Those two looked too dangerous from earlier, and I feel like a bridesmaid.
"I have an idea why the demonic transformation was undone."
Nike said.
"I don't understand why the demons obeyed the orders of the newly appeared intelligent being. Demons have no intelligence and move strictly according to providence of power, so even if they are intelligent, they will never obey the lower ranks."
That's right. A sabotage demon with a long nose appeared out of nowhere.
Even though Ratan was larger and stronger, the Demon Beast Legion had obeyed the long-nosed monster who seemed to have nothing to do.
"Perhaps Ratan has handed over the authority of commander to him in some way."
"How?"
"I don't know because I'm not a demon. What is certain is that command cannot be transferred in words, so there must have been some way to force obedience."
Nike looked back at Merchen.
"Ratan didn't undo his transformation into a demon beast of his own free will. The demon beast legion he had forcibly subjugated by sharing his power turned violent, and he took the hit along with them."
Annihilation?
'Ugh, I see.'
Ratan suddenly disappeared into Merchen not long after the incapacitation was lifted.
Not only me, but Ryan's incapacitation must have been lifted.
All the demons that Ratan spiced up would have been killed by Ryan immediately.
'Oh, that's right.'
Apparently, Nike should be given an honorary professorship in the Department of Magical Studies.
One thing I regret.
'I haven't beaten you up yet!'
The fact that I failed to educate the cheeky Ratan!
Merchen said no to Nike, seeing my mad eyes.
"But, isn't it all your guess?"
"What?"
"Call Ratan again and try to figure out the truth. I hope you stab me with a sword."
"Are you crazy? No way."
"I can't go back to the battlefields in human form anyway."
"Don't worry. As for the eyes watching, I've already sent them all out."
"Three people wouldn't even be able to ride a horse, would they?"
As if it understood Merhen's words, Nike's black horse, sensing an ominous omen, neighed.
Nike stroked the black horse's mane as he arrived.
"Two of you ride, I'll pull, and we'll go back slowly."
"...? No, if you are worried about hurting me, just lend me your sword. I'll handle it myself."
"I would rather see you self-harm than do it myself."
???
Hey?
What is this comment again...
"Ryan should have finished clearing the battlefield by now anyway. There's no need to rush, so let's take our time heading back."
***
We returned to the battlefield just as the sun was setting.
The scene is fully under control, just as expected.
The corpses of monstrous beasts, piled up like a mountain far away to hide the traces of instant death, were burning fiercely...
"Oh, bunny! You're here?!"
Ryan had lit a bonfire and was sitting around with the knights, chatting and eating heartily, when he came running toward me.
"Did you get hurt anywhere? I was worried!"
"For someone so worried, you didn't even come to rescue me; it looks like you were just eating well."
I wiped the oily corners of Ryan's mouth.
"Hey, stop hurting my feelings. The moment the incapacitation wears off, the one I have to worry about the least is you, the ecosystem disruptor. No, actually."
Ryan asked Merchen
"Prince. What happened? Why on earth did that crazy monster run off with bunny?"
"Don't even get me started. I heard he was planning to run away and start a life with Vania."
"What?!"
As Ryan was shocked, Nike let out a sigh.
"Hey, I shouldn't leave Vania alone when I can't use my ability. At that height, I have no idea what on earth he's thinking..."
"Good heavens. I knew something was off ever since Vania acted last time; he seemed genuinely moved! Your Highness, you almost became a widower right after getting married?"
"..."
Nike, looking angry again as if thinking of Ratan, changed the subject.
"More importantly, what is that baseless formation?"
I was actually going to say that, too.
The process of extermination involves the appearance of monsters, battles, a lull, the appearance of the next monster, battles again, and another lull until it ends.
So, on the way back, Nike said that by the time we arrive, it will be time for the next appearance.
However, the Belzer army, which should have been preparing for the second subjugation, is sitting around idly instead of being prepared.
You want a campfire?
Soldiers encircling the center of the haunting site in a circle as if performing some kind of ritual.
"There's no time. Regroup."
"Is this the corrected formation?"
"What?"
Ryan grinned playfully and said.
"What are you talking about, Dad? If we stand like this, we'll all die."
Ryan's area-of-effect instant kill kills all living creatures within his sight.
Therefore, the basic rule is to stay out of his sight.
Ryan didn't say a word to us, who were flustered, but grinned and suddenly turned his arms toward the empty air.
"Come, you monsters!"
"Come! Come!"
“Come, come!”
Ryan looked like a black magician attempting to perform a forbidden ritual, and Belzer's army looked like insane followers.
"Why, why are you acting like this, Dad! Are you crazy? Are you planning to kill them along with the monsters? To sacrifice your comrades?"
"Come! Come!"
"Come! Come!"
"...He's lost his mind."
Nike hurriedly came out, grabbed only Merchen, and retreated behind Ryan's back.
Soon, the ground shook violently.
Suddenly.
In the middle of the haunted area surrounded by Belzer's army, the first monster pushed its head up, and..
Tak!
The moment Ryan clapped his thumb and middle finger together to make a crisp sound.
<Instant death>
The monster died before he could even fully climb up.
'Ah.'
It was only then that I realized why Ryan had shown us this unexpected campfire formation. Another one had come up, and...
“Bam!”
This time, the moment Ryan aimed his finger at the monster's head as if shooting a gun, it was instant death.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In Ryan's hands, having made twin pistols and was firing them alternately.
Another instant death
Again!!
Again!!
Again!!
I couldn't say anything.
I looked to the side in surprise, and Nike was watching the scene with wide eyes, breathing heavily.
"Bang! Bang!"
Ryan stood in the same spot and helplessly knocked down all the monsters that came up like whack-a-mole.
They are selectively hunting individuals, regardless of whether enemy and friendly forces are mixed in their field of vision.
I clutched my pounding heart and looked up at Ryan's profile as he laughed with ecstasy.
A Level 3 proficiency instant kill user capable of hunting individual targets.
From this point on, Ryan is definitely a 'god'.
Those granted permission to live by Ryan can survive, while those who are not are instantly taken away.
Absurdly... overwhelming power.
“Daughter."
Ryan called out to me as he killed and handed over the monsters without a castle.
"No, no, little sister."
Soon, the ground was densely packed with the corpses of monsters with only their heads barely broken, and a lull followed the appearance of the plague.
Looking down at the day I lost my footing due to the terrifying power, Ryan said.
"Now, let's go to our Father."
"..."
"I must go repay the grace of giving birth to me."
