Act 2: Chapter 49: Attack of The Youngest Daughter, Lily(Side:Pomera)

「Oi looks, something is standing on top of the ramparts.」

「Is that a human or monster?」

Though Kotone had already spotted the monster on top of the ramparts, it didn’t stop her from slaying the other ragno at the same time. The other adventurers were just now noticing the existence of the spider with the girl’s upper half too.

The girl had a certain dignified air around her.

Her eyes were moving round and round, each looking in a different direction. Drool was dripping from her slovenly opened mouth. Poisonous-looking purplish-red coloured fangs could be seen peeking from her mouth.

「T-That isn’t a run-of-the-mill monster...」

Rosemonde spoke while pointing her cross toward the spider girl.

「I-I’m, I’m, the youngest daughter of four sisters, L-L... Lily.」

The monster who introduced herself as Lily gave a courteous bow.

But, doing that didn’t stop her drool from dripping down from her mouth.

「I, as ordered by my dear mother, will eat you guys. I-It’ll save me a lot of trouble if you let me eat you guys or else big sis Marie gonna tease me... if I fail.」

Lily spoke with her mouth open wide.

Mucus and blood were coming out from inside her mouth.

There was also something resembling human fingers amongst it.

From the looks of it, she’d already eaten a few humans after coming this far.

The adventurers who saw that flinched back in terror.

And then, Lily leapt down from the top of the rampart while raising a maniacal laugh.

She made a bizarre movement in the air as she charged toward the adventurers below.

It seems she used the string that was stuck to the ramparts to be able to move like that in the air.

「Hi, hihihi, hihihihi...!」

Lily landed right where the adventurers were gathered and swung her huge arms as soon as she landed.

That seemingly simple sweep easily tore into the bodies of a few unlucky adventurers.

The lumps of meat that she gouged from the arm or leg of the adventurers splattered around as it sprayed fresh blood.

「The HuMAnS... Are, Too FRAgiLE.」nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

Lily took one of the fallen arms, raised it above her head, and drank the blood dripping from it.

After licking the blood that fell on her cheeks, she let out another maniacal laugh.

That show of strength alone was enough to convince everyone that she was league above the ragno.

The others in that place who saw that the bloody scene screamed with panic.

「HYIIH!」

Lily retreated while pressing her face.

Seeing her counter worked, Kotone advanced forward instead of retreating and slashed at Lily’s abdomen with a swordhand that was protected with the gauntlet.

Lily’s body fluid danced in the air.

「O-Ouch, it hurts... the likes of a human... actually managed to hurt me!」

Though Kotone managed to land a hit, she seemed to be puzzled for some reason.

Pomera was also shocked upon seeing that. Reason being, the wound that Kotone had inflicted on Lily was too shallow.

Apparently that attack only counted as scratch and was far from fatal wound.

Lily leapt back immediately.

At that time, the 《Ancient Gigant Axe》 that was buried into the ground was moving by itself toward Kotone while dragging its blade on the ground.

It seems Lily had already stuck her spiderweb on the giant axe when she’d stood on it.

Kotone reacted a moment too late and lost her chance to dodge the incoming axe.

She crossed her arms to guard which were protected by the golden gauntlets to stop the surprise attack from the axe.

But, her body still got blown away, getting knocked down and rolling across the ground until she stopped.

「This axe... it’s good. I... might come to like it.」

Lily squinted her eyes whose pupils didn’t focus on a single point as she spoke filled with delight.

「Spirit Magic, 8th-Rank《Laelaps Fang》」

Pomera pointed her cane toward Lily.

A lump of plasma beast unleashed from the magic circle that was floating at the tip of Pomera’s cane.

The plasma beast rushed forward in a straight line, gouging the ground as it approached Lily.

Lily turned her attention to Pomera and dodged the plasma beast easily by jumping into the air.

The plasma beast passed right below Lily’s feet.

「N-No way...」

《Laelaps Fang》 was Pomera’s ace magic.

Its power and speed were the best in Pomera’s arsenal.

By the way, she started to think that she shouldn’t use this magic unless she met an opponent of a higher calibre after her easy victory in the duel against Alfred.

「W-W-What are you surprised about? A-A-As if such linear attack fired from a distance can hit me....」

Lily spoke happily as if mocking Pomera.
