Act 5-75: Infiltration 3(Side: Ramiel)

(Are you kidding me! What kind of monster is that!?)

Currently, Ramiel did her best trying to escape from the city that turned into a living hell.

Yes, the demon race really did invade this city. Everything up until that point was according to Ramiel’s hypothesis but she made a few huge mistakes.

One of them was the fact that the repulsive thing that raided the city was none other than the demon race, much much stronger than the demon race that Ramiel familiar with.

All the monsters who got captured by the demon race ended up becoming the latter’s meal. The demon race that she knew wasn’t the kind that eats the other race. That was clearly another being.

She felt the presence race chasing after her from behind. That moment, a demon race jumped down from the roof of the building.

「Dammit!」

She beheaded that demon race with the sword in her left-hand, then another smaller demon race rushed from behind.

(Dammit, snother one!)

She spun around and slashed upward.

Another demon race came from behind the demon race that she had just bissected in half, thrusting their spear toward her.

「HOW DARE THESE LOWLY DEMON RACE―― LOOKING DOWN ON ME!」

She used her left hand to parry the spear, stepping into the range of that demon race, and beheaded them as they passed each other.

Don’t screw with me. Every single one of these demon races is clearly equal to Ares’s army’s holy knight class.

Naturally, Ramiel was still stronger than them. But, that only applied if it was a one-on-one situation, in the case she had to face the swarm of them, she would be outnumbered by them.

(Was this the reason why Tetle told me to leave!?)

Then comes her second miscalculation. She realized immediately that her 【Invisible Cloak】 was useless against them since the demon race see through it immediately. And even though she had already tried to activate her ring of repatriation, it didn’t activate.

(Does this mean the power of god is rendered useless? Like hell this is just a demon race!)

She had no doubt. The terrifying god of fly was in this city. And most probably the one who remodeled the demon race.

But, being able to remodel a mere demon race to become as strong as Ares army’s holy knight was already something beyond Ramiel’s comprehension.

Thus, she decided to prioritize her escape from this city.

She had finally reached the front gate.

(Finally! Now I just need to cross over the wall to escape!)

Ramiel’s intuition had told her that there was a barrier surrounding the city which prevented teleportation. Thus she came to a conclusion that she should be able to teleport back to Ares Palace once she crossed the wall.

But, Ramiel’s expectation got crushed to bits by spherical matter that came down from in front of her.

That matter bounce few times on the ground before pair of arms, feet, and a head unfolded from it, only to start bizzare wriggling dance which accompanied by equally bizarre song.

『Escape is futile, ain’t it? Escape is futile♪

But worry not♪ Yer final destination has already been decided♬

The premium goods will be given for sacrifice ritual♪

The waste goods will end in our belly♩

That’s the frugal rule of our demon king army♪』

Suddenly, the spherical shaped demon race before her stopped moving and rushed at her.

「--⁉」

She tried to dodge while trying her best to surpress her scream but she was too slow as the powerful impact hit her abdomen first.

Inside her hazy consciousness, she saw the spherical shaped demon race approached her, each step causing a tremor on the ground.

That’s clearly not a demon race. She knew that fate worse than death would be waiting for her once they captured her. She felt as if cold water poured onto her head which accompanied with fear,

「H…」

She tried to shout, asking someone to save her but she vomited blood instead.

(I should’ve followed his advice obediently…)

Amidst such fear and regret,

(My apologies, Ares-sama…)

Ramiel’s consciousness faded as she apologized to her master.
