133 Death Calling Names, Part 5 - Worst Enemy

"You sure, in a beginner's labyrinth (dungeon)..."

"... it's an honor to remember... speaking of which, did you still introduce yourself... my name is Lifeless, and I'll know you from now on... especially Alphilis, Miranda... with you guys..."

"" What?

Unexpectedly overlapping voices on unexpected nominations, Alphilis and Miranda. Watch how it goes. Lifeless rarely flaunts his mouth a little distorted, and now speaks to Fenna.

"... long time no see, Princess Seeker... do you remember me?

"Are you... sure"

Fenna, who was stunned, slowly looks back at the lifeless. Those eyes are lying around and somewhat without light. But the situation is swallowable.

"Did you... did you get Willam?

"... Willam?... you don't know... you mean those guys you just killed?

"Why are you doing this... why? What did Willam do to you?

"... why?... f, f... hahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Lifeless began laughing softly despite his quiet voice. We would all be surprised by the action, but it would be even more surprising if Doom and the others were there. It's not something that a lifeless person rarely does, such as speak up and laugh in public.

"... you want to know why?

"... yeah."

"... unfortunately... for no reason..."

"What?

Moments, a surprising color returns to Fenna's eyes. This was an unexpected answer for Fenna. It's hard to think of harming others first for a kind person like Fenna, and if it's revenge, it's still understandable. Fenna also knew on her journey that there was a pleasure killer in the world, so even though it was totally impossible for her to understand the mood of such a person, it was possible as the most cruel answer.

But Lifeless said there was no reason. That was a completely out-of-think answer for Fenna.

"No reason?

"... yes... just like you guys breathe, killing is routine for me... very common, especially if I'm not interested in who dies... at best only one thing I'm interested in is' was strong or not '... and..."

"And?"

"... this said something similar to the guys I fought earlier... do you walk when you walk in the woods, counting the bugs you trampled on with your feet?

"What?!?

The atmosphere around Fenna trembles. Fenna's beautiful hair ripples with a lot of magic, and Aerial takes an unexpected step backwards in its power. But even watching how it goes doesn't bring any emotion to life.

"Tell Willam to 'bug' my loved ones!?

"... no... bugs are analogies..."

"... you're not so handy... you're less than a bug..."

"You!"

The moment Fenna tries to enter the magic chant, she pulls the black bag that Lifeless was in charge of down to the ground.

"... it's on your own to fight, but can this be sacrificed?

Saying so, Lifeless drags some of the black bags out. What came out of it was the face of a bloody seeker. Not being followed by that complexion, Fenna's anger-stained complexion is drawn back pale again.

"... Master Cesari?

To Fenna's voice, Auri flutters forward. Auri survived when she tried to act alone to guide Alphilis. But Cesari does not answer Auri's call. For that reason, Lisa retained Auri, who had tried to come forward.

"Don't come any closer."

"Let go, man"

"No, I can't let you die in vain."

"What!

"... heh..."

Lifeless was stepping on whether they would all stick to the provocation, but Lisa pulled it off beautifully.

"Look at that bag, Ollie."

"What!?

"Is that bag big enough to fit one human?

Lisa's point is especially true, the size of the bag is only about one child. And the fact that adults fit in...

"... I'm looking closely... at something that wasn't the right size for the bag... kind of like this to fit in the bag, hands and feet..."

A lifeless person twists with his or her hands. Everyone was stunned by the lifeless words that set them free to handle toys.

"Oh, my God."

"... well the resistance was actually intense, so I had to... and thanks to that I finally grew up... oh, by the way, I didn't kill him... and the May fly guy was with me... well, it's a pain in the ass, but if he was to this extent, it would take 10 minutes to silence him without killing him..."

The moment Auri tries to thrust with the anger that she can't voice, Lisa makes her wand fall on her feet. And I pretended to hold down Ori as it was, and I slapped him in the ear.

"(So it would be difficult for you to die, wouldn't it?

"I'm telling you to let go!

"(No, I won't let you go if you die. You may be your only hope)"

"(Look, that lifeless guy we're seeing right now is not a level enemy where the touches are bad. It's like looking at a bottomless swamp, you don't see so much who you are or the bottom of your powers. In fact, even Lisa can see that the Seeker is the owner of considerable magic, but she treated the Seeker as a child. Its power can be deduced... if that thing is seriously rampant, it could easily perish this settlement etc)"

"What..."

He slaps Auri's head on the ground forcefully about to say something, and Lisa goes on to say it. Lisa was in quite a hurry, too. It was putting life less at risk.

"(Shut up and listen! Look, from now on, I'm going to have you run for help. I won't make you say no, because this one has Fenna, the royal family of seekers. Yeah, if you're gonna yell at me as a hostage, go ahead. Because everyone's lives matter to Lisa, whether Fenna is royal or not. So at the very least, you have Fenna come back with just the strength to let him get away with it. Plus, we'll take a ride and let them get away with it)"

"(Take 10 minutes... and come back somehow by then. If you can't do that, I'll curse you from the bottom of hell. When you understand, poke Lisa and run away from here)"

After a while, Auri was convinced of Lisa's reasonable judgment, or pushed Lisa away and ran away. But no matter how much Lisa whispered, the Alphilis and the Lifeless could imagine what Lisa said again. That's why Alphilis didn't stop Auri, but he didn't do life less or anything again.

"Are you okay, Mr. Lifeless?"

"... Erlich or..."

Behind the lifeless stands a gleam, forming a shape. What came out was a skeleton dressed in a black robe. No, a man who just boned and skinned like a skeleton to be exact. Some of them were really bone visible though.

"I'll kill that Seeker if you give me an order..."

"... okay, let him go... this is a bet..."

"Bet, is it?

"... oh, it's my bad habit... to want to bet when you come over expensive... Ellich, why don't you bet?... I'll bet you which is quicker if I give in to them or if that Seeker brings his people back... I'll of course give in..."

"I'll be there, too"

"... come on, then it's not a bet..."

"It's not a betting match."

"... kukukukuku... that too..."

Two laugh with pleasure. Alphilis and the others only looked at the figure, but Alphilis noticed that Miranda was shaking.

"What's wrong, Miranda?

"That's... stupid..."

"Miranda?"

The moment Alphilis tried to touch Miranda, Miranda suddenly shouted.

"Hey! The skeleton there!

"What?

"You, did I just say Erlich?

Yes, but what can I do for you, little girl?

"Erlich... you say? You... don't recognize Atashi's face!?

"Who gives a little girl like you... no, wait... you look familiar? Yes, that was definitely... when I fought that brave man..."

"Chickshaw, I knew it was..."

"What do you mean, Miranda?

To Miranda, who grinds her teeth, the accumulated alphilis asks.

"He's... that skeleton bastard is the demon king whose old Atashi guy... Ord defeated in exchange for his own life!

"What?

"Well, you were a little girl who wasn't even able to participate in the battle then. I remember, it's weak. You couldn't do anything but cry as your people fell down one after the other?

"You -!!!"

Everyone calmed down Miranda. Miranda still tries to keep everyone strained forward.

"Fix it! Only that bastard will Atashi kill him!!

"Relax, Miranda, not now."

"Alphilis is right. Be cool."

"Calm down!? I can't!!

With that one word, Miranda swings them all away.

"Ha ha."

"Wow."

"I'm not dead!

"Hmm."

Miranda and Ellich stand calm and jump on their favorite mace as they blow up their friends. The moment Miranda's mace tried to be swung down, Miranda was relentlessly slapped to the ground by a lifeless man.

"Gu!?

"... calm down... Erlich, when did you see this woman?

"Well, I thought maybe 100 years ago."

"... Hmm... so this woman is immortal... I saw the demon king stab her in the heart before, but she wasn't dead... then I thought it was a mistake to see or some sorcery... well..."

Lifeless stares at Miranda intriguingly as she holds Miranda back.

"Fix it!

"... woman, what's your name?

"Who are you..."

But Miranda's voice broke off with the discomfort of her belly twitching along the way.

"Uh... ah...?

"... what's your name?

"Ugh, wow!?

Lifeless hands held Miranda's gut immediately. Lifeless who lifts Miranda as she is and moves her hands around to stir her belly.

"Gee, hee... ahhh"

"... what's your name?

"Yes, I'm telling you..."

"... hmm... strong, but... how about this?

Wind Bullets (Aero Shoot)

With a lifeless short curse, Miranda blows up to the Alphilis and the others as she sprinkles blood from her belly. I was just about to pop out to help Miranda. I was also dressed to stop the Alphilis and the others from moving. Miranda nodding to hold her belly as it is.

"Ugh, uhh"

"Miranda, hold on!

"This is terrible..."

But while everyone was worried, Miranda's wounds healed as she looked through her back. We had all already heard that Miranda was immortal, but this was the first time I had seen anything but Lisa healing. Of course Lifeless is watching that too. And with all due respect, Miranda manages to get up.

"... well... you're really immortal... there's no sign that the magic element worked..."

Lifeless opens his eyes. Apparently, he's been very intrigued.

"... Erlich... change the plan in part... I'll take that woman home... the Seekers will drive you right in... never let it all go..."

"If you have orders."

"... hekatonkale, turn a few magic deactivators (cancelers) and some orcs and goblins over here... and some more example guys..."

"You're calling that, aren't you?

"... oh... it's what I originally wanted to show that Seeker princess..."

"Okay."

That said, as Erlich disappears, demons emerge from the shadows of the surrounding buildings, surrounding the Alphilis.

Alfie, we're surrounded.

"I know! Miranda, can we go?

"Oh, naturally. I'm sorry I didn't get hit!

"You got 40?

"Than the number, if those armored people do. Especially the little ones."

Aerial indicates Hekatonkail. I guess my instincts recognized the danger.

"I'm coming!

In the burning woods, the battle between the Alphilis and the others began.
