Chapter 504 – An Old Relationship and a Girl Who Chases After
000
A few hours before night falls in the East.
A woman wearing a conspicuous red hat passed through the gate to the north of the Eastern country.
Outside the gate, a wagon pulled by a ‘mechanical horse’ was parked, and the coachman was an ugly little man with a crooked back.
He was reading her newspaper her with her hand her in her hand her, and when he saw the woman approaching, he hurriedly folded it up and put it in her arms her.
She and she come down to the ground and put her hands together and bow her head.
“Oh, are you here… Lord, Master…”
Watching the man call her master as he stutters her words, the woman nods her head.
“Yes. I put what I wanted in her hands her. I keep going back to the mansion like this.”
“Yes, yes, I will take you there safely… Let’s go… Get in the carriage…”
Saying that, he approached the door of her carriage while limping, opened it, and the woman called her master she walked slowly and got into the carriage.
“Huu… After all, temporarily rejuvenating using medicine is exhausting in many ways…”
When the door closes, a woman takes off her hat and puts down what was covering her face her.
After a while, her firm skin her quickly loses its vitality and wrinkles appear as if time has accelerated.
The color fades from her hair, and her clothes her change accordingly, changing from her dress to something her grandmother would have worn.
When his rapidly aging figure his is reflected in a mirror, Darwin touches his own face as if missing his lost years.
“Huh. The glory of being a beauty in the past is, after all, temporary. Beauty… Honor. Such things are not eternal. After all, eternal things are—”
“Knowledge, right? Darwin.”
Darwin recoils when she hears a voice other than her own her resounding inside her carriage.
Where does the sound come from looking around like that – the ceiling of the wagon.
In that part, he sees ‘something’ looking down at him with his eyes shining in something like a black shadow.
“That voice… ‘Poltuk’?”
“Ah. I remembered. It’s been a while. Almost 40 years? As for you. Whoa. You’re old too.”
At Darwin’s naturally frowning face, Poltuk raises the corners of her mouth.
“If I had known from the beginning that you were a descendant of the ‘Emperor of the Demonic Sword’… I wouldn’t have taught you anything.”
“It was a good time, wasn’t it? Of course, only for me.”
“Damn it…!”
When Darwin spat her her swear words out of her mouth, Polduk would soothe her as if to calm her down.
“Well. Anyway, it’s nice to see you again like this. The reason you’re not surprised to see me is that you already knew about our resurrection…?”
“…”
Darwin does n’t answer his question her, but Poltuk laughs at her like that.
“You can take silence as an affirmation… But well, that’s not what’s important. You have ‘something I want you to help with’.”
“Are you an idiot? Let me help you? You are the enemy of the ‘Father of All’. Helping that is against the rules of a ‘returner’. No- regardless of the rules, I will never help a traitor named you !”
The next moment, when Darwin tries to get something out of his bag-
Rattle! The wagon shakes, and Darwin’s old body can’t stand it and collapses.
“Keugh…”
“The old man… Don’t overdo it. That must be uncomfortable. Couldn’t the ‘evolution’ technique achieve fire?”
As if teasing her, the shadow of Paul Tuke, who uttered her voice her, moved on her ceiling and opened the door of her carriage.
“What the hell did you do…”
“What. Go out and check it yourself. Didn’t you kindly open the door? Aah. Are your legs loose and you can’t move?”
“You son of a bitch…”
Saying so, Darwin picked up a chair in the carriage, got up from the spot, and walked out with difficulty.
Then, he saw his mechanical horses lying there, and the driver, So-in, crushed to death.
A presence felt from above.
Looking up at the sky, I could see what appeared to be a sub-dragon flying overhead.
“…”
“Oops! I’ve lost my way back! I’m so sorryhaha!”
The old man looked back quietly at Poltuk, whose mocking voice resounded, and sent a sharp glare at the shadow, calming his anger at him.
He must have thought that Poltuk was his own defeat his, which he did not know would appear here.
“What do you want?”
“I need that ‘elixir’ that you always carry with you. It’s still the same after 40 years, right?”
“…”
Darwin clenches his hand until it bleeds.
Then he took out the item he wanted from his bag and held it in Poltuk’s shadow.
“Yeah, this is it… As expected, you know it well. Thank you for writing it.”
“Where are you going to write it?”
“Yes, of course. Our eternal leader. It should be used for the sake of ‘His Majesty the Emperor’.”
Saying so, Poltuk’s shadow is about to disappear.
“No way… Are you planning to use it on that Cleon!? If you do that, he really will… !”
“The obvious. Because that’s what we want.”
“Kuh…”
Poltuk and Wyvern disappear completely at the end of her resentful voice.
Darwin stares at his carriage for a while, then takes another dose of the potion of rejuvenation left in his bag and changes his appearance.
“…Anyway. It’s necessary to return what happened. Besides- even if I use that elixir on that man…”
Darwin, who briefly looked down at the remains of his subordinate his, put on his dark glasses and headed for Asteris.
“There’s no chance your plan will succeed. Poltuk.”
001
Sasha ran after her scent her, ringing her nose lightly.
‘Even if I can control my sight with magic, you can’t fool my sense of smell…!’
Her senses reacted sharply to the reverberation of magical power she felt from earlier, but the only thing that could discover the ‘real’ among them was Sasha’s animalistic part of her.
[Ruben! What is the distance!?]
[Continued. She seemed to be moving after grasping what was being pursued. Besides, it’s fast too. Even if we continue the chase like this, we’ll be chasing him until he’s exhausted.]
When Sasha heard Ruben answer that way, she glanced back at herself.
There, he saw Cleon, Layla, and Amelia chasing after Sasha at full speed.
“We have to go back!”
“I’m in her favor of her, but Sasha is the only one who can go after her right now!”
When Cleon says that, Sasha nods her head as well.
“Cleon. I’ll borrow your eyes!”
Saying that, Sasha covers one of her own eyes her and intensely places the ‘Hunter’s Imprint’ on it-
Even in Cleon’s one eye, the ‘imprint’ shines as if resonating.
Then- Cleon’s vision her is to show Sasha’s vision her with one eye and his own vision her with the other.
“Wow…!”
Cleon almost fell at that unfamiliar sensation, but quickly closed his eyes on the side of her connected to Sasha and nodded her head.
“Go! Sasha! I’ll follow you!”
“Yes…!”
When Cleon raised her voice, as if entrusting it to Sasha, Ruben’s ears and tail on top of Sasha’s head her and around her waist her pricked up.
Her leg muscles her are strengthened.
“Grrr…”
A low, animal-like cry escaped from Sasha’s mouth her.
At the same time, as Ruben’s presence grows stronger, Sasha’s body maximizes its potential in her as a ‘beast god’ vessel.
In the next moment, her body flew up into the sky like a spring.
And surprisingly, she jumps several times in the air and moves forward.
“Flight magic?”
When Amelia talks about Sasha running through the sky as if she was surprised, Layla shakes her head.
“No. They made a foothold in the air with magical powers, and are running on it. Besides, seeing as they accelerate every time they hit, it’s impossible for us to follow them as they are.”
When did you practice something like that, she says, admiring Lila.
Watching Sasha recede in the distance as she advances, Cleon sends her voice through the imprint.
[Ruben. Sasha. Don’t push yourself too hard. Be careful not to be eroded by the engraving.]
[Kufufu. You know well, Mr. Cleon. This is no big deal. Isn’t that right, Sasha?]
[Yes Yes! Oh! I saw it!]
Then, hearing Sasha’s returning voice her saying “I saw it,” Cleon opens the closed eye connected to Sasha.
Then- he could see the back of Kuzunoha even in his eyes of her.
“As expected, it is flying in the sky. Is that flight magic right there?”
“How fast are you flying? Is it because there are no tall buildings?
“No. Keep your magic power intact. Here, let’s leave it to Sasha.”
At Cleon’s answer, Layla nodded her head, and Cleon sent Sasha his voice her once again.
[Can you go back? If you get too far away, Sasha will have to fight alone until we get there. It’s better to stop as quickly as possible.]
[Yes…! It’s possible…!]
In Sasha’s confident answer, and in Cleon’s vision her through Sasha’s eyes her-Sasha, who had been running, climbed higher and higher-
As it was, he kicked off the scaffold he had made in the air with all his might.
It bounced forward as if it had become one with the gust of wind.
‘What, what!?’
Kuzunoha looked back at the presence she felt behind her, and made an expression of surprise at the presence of Sasha, who had approached her.
I could not hear her voice of her, but I could tell what she was saying by the shape of her mouth of her.
Then, Sasha’s body rotated several times in mid-air, and her legs her were stretched as if to make use of the rotation.
Her legs her with enhanced leg strength.
“‘Wolf’s Fang!'”
When Sasha’s voice her resonated enough to be heard even here, Sasha lowered her heel toward her Kuzunoha her with her magic power planted in her leg her.
When the tracks glowed golden, they looked like wolf fangs.
“Cheuk!”
Kuzunoha probably didn’t expect that she would catch up with her when she ran, but she allowed Sasha’s attack her in a defenseless state and fell straight to the ground.
[Sasha! Well done!]
[I’m sorry…! I guess I didn’t faint…! I dropped it to the ground, so I will prioritize checks and restraints!]
At the same time as saying that, Sasha undid her vision sharing her by canceling the use of her imprint that she had been overdoing.
However, Cleon, who roughly grasped her position with the resonance of her imprint her, was to quickly run towards her Sasha her.
“Kuh… Damn it… What power…!”
Kheuk, keheuk, she coughs and gets up from her seat. Kuzunoha.
Due to the impact of the workshop earlier, the clothes were scattered here and there.
Thanks to that, what was covered by the clothes was only the top and important parts.
“Ugh…”
Sasha groaned as if fighting an opponent dressed like that was uncomfortable.
She nonetheless raises her own bow once more and aims her arrow.
“You won’t be able to knock it out this time.”
“Heh… It’s a head-to-head match. It’s too unfavorable for me, Yohoin.”
Even as she frowned at Sasha’s declaration her, Kuzunoha blew her magic power her into her nails her and launched several escort sparks around her.
Just like before, it must have been the idea of shooting arrows.
Next moment. As Sasha’s finger is released, the three arrows caught in her arrow spread in three directions and aim for Kuzunoha’s feet in her.
But Kuzunoha snaps them all off with a swing of her claws, raising the corner of her mouth at the slow shot of her howitzer.
“What, I didn’t mean you couldn’t beat-“
When Kuzunoha, who has become overpowered, raises her voice as if to reprimand Sasha for her bravado her-
The next moment, she sees the ‘enchanted’ arrow caught in the arrow that ‘Sasha’ is holding in her hand.
It was already leaving Sasha’s bow her.
‘Magical Arrow- No way, the first entity arrow is ‘bait’…?’
While thinking so, Kuzunohai cuts her guard and tries to swing her claws as it is, but-
“If three feet aren’t enough, six…”
Surprised that the number had doubled and rushed in, she had to accelerate her body movements.
“If six shots aren’t enough, twelve shots…!”
“Wait wait wait!”
In line with Sasha’s ever-moving fingers, Kuzunoha somehow manages to catch them, too.
The ever-increasing number of magical arrows attacked her in groups, like the needles of her hedgehog her.
“Twenty-four, forty-eight…! Until the moment you can’t beat me…! I won’t stop!”
“Uh, how did that turn out to be? That magic quick shot…! It’s just too much for a human to do…!”
While talking like that, Kuzunoha puts magic poetry on her eyes her, and she breaks into a cold sweat at Sasha’s rapid fire, which she can only deal with by somehow using her body her’s accelerating magic several times.
But the next moment, when her eyes meet Sasha’s her, she feels the presence of a ‘giant wolf’ inside her,
“Hee!”
Kuzunoha raised her voice as if frightened.
It could be said that it stopped her movement for an instant.
[Now, Sasha!]
When ‘Ruben’, who noticed her timing of her, spoke to Sasha, Sasha once again used a physical arrow instead of a magic arrow, and this time she jumped into the sky and floated up.
And, towards her feet her – This time, not a ‘curve’, but a ‘straight’.
In other words, the time to respond is drastically reduced.
Papapak…! And when three arrows are shot at the same time.
“A foot-binding shower!”
Sasha’s ignition key rang once again.
“Keuuugh!”
Kuzunoha’s voice her resounds with resentment, but before she can complete the barrier that spreads around her-
Looking at Sasha, who seemed exhausted from her intense use of magical power, she pulled her towards herself.
“Wait!?”
Sasha drops the bow she was holding in her own hand.
She is captured by Kuzunoha and locked in a barrier together.
Blue flames rising from the inside of the barrier.
If this room were to be filled up, let alone Sasha, Kuzunohara would not be safe.
“Release this… Or else. I’ll die here with you.”
“Kuh… I can’t do that! Mr. Cleon said he would entrust it to me…!”
Even Kuzunoha’s words of her that threatened her did n’t weigh her down, and her eyes of her as she repelled them were full of trust in Cleon.
“…Besides, you have no desire to die, do you?”
“Mi, you’re crazy…!”
Kuzunoha replied as if she couldn’t match her will her.
It didn’t matter.
“Sasha!!”
Thinking he heard Cleon’s voice, the next moment Cleon appeared again with an amulet in his hand.
Kuzunoha had her face of despair, and Sasha had a hopeful smile.
“Mr. Cleon!”
“Damn it…!”
While saying that, Kuzunoha crosses her own arms and tries to cover her forehead her, but-
Cleon’s talisman reached ‘her ‘belly as it was.
“Gueg!”
When the powerful punch hit Kuzunoha’s belly, she let out an unsightly scream.
At the same time, the stamp of Cleon’s dominion floating on the amulet.
Just like before, he quickly takes control of Yoho’s body and tries to expel all the unclean things in it.
“Oh, no. My, my tail…!”
Kuzunoha struggles and moves her own body her, but soon the toxins accumulated in her body her disappear due to her Cleon’s imprint her.
And- as the wounds of the soul were healed, the tails were also shrinking.
“No—!!!”
A woman screaming loudly. Thanks to that, it could be misunderstood by those around her, but this was for her her, none other than her her.
Sasha also looked at Kuzunoha with pity, and as soon as she confirmed that her imprint her had finished fertilizing, she released her barrier.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
Kuzunoha passed out as if she was lying face down on the ground.
“…Thanks to Sasha, I was able to win without difficulty.”
“Is that so?” Ehehe…”
Cleon pats Sasha on the shoulder while supporting the fainting body of Kuzunoha with one of her arms her.
But Sasha hesitates and tells Cleon.
“Hey, Mr. Cleon. Head…”
“Huh? Ah… If that’s good-“
For a moment, Cleon also tried to move his hand her to her head her, thinking that if Sasha wanted it, hey.
Pop!
Then, with a ridiculous explosion, the figure of the girl in Cleon’s hand – ‘Kuznoha’ changed.
“…Eh?”
It was because she had the appearance of a ‘human’ girl without a tail.
“Eh!?”
Layla, who was watching it from the side of her, also raised her voice of her, and only remained in the alley of her brothel.
