138 - - 139. Princess vs. Tantalion

Julius and his friends, the reincarnated heroes, are on a treasure hunt.

Princess Historia ...... was on the roof of the castle in the sky.

"............"

At first glance, she appears normal.

But in her body, she carries a number of demons.

"Historia!"

Then Dantalion, the leader of the Eastern Federation, arrived.

Dantalion rushes to Historia, who is standing alone.

"I was so worried!　Where have you been all this time?

She grabs the princess by the shoulders and breathes a sigh of relief .......

Historia had been missing since the second day before yesterday.

She had not been seen on the third day, and she had been worried.

"But ...... thank goodness. But ...... that Principal Feres didn't do something terrible to you?"

A faint twitch, a faint reaction from the historians.

"But I'm glad you're okay. But I'm glad you're safe. It's not too late, the team is waiting for you.

Dantalion smiles kindly.

But Historia turns her head down and does not move.

"......No way."

Dantalion shakes his head with a smile.

Dantalion shakes his head and smiles. Everyone is really worried about you. Even Julius was worried about you."

Historia gritted her teeth.

"Julius. ......"

"Yes, your friend is also waiting for you to return."

Dantalion extends his hand.

He offers his hand, indicating that they will return together.

But ...... Historia pays off his hand.

"Julius...... Julius Julius Julius Julius!"

The historian scratched his scalp with a crunching sound.

"If only it weren't for him!　If it weren't for him!　I would have been happy by now!　That!　That demon!　d*mn it!!!!!!!"

An enormous amount of magical power and curses (minus fighting spirit) blows out from her body along with her anger.

Dantalion can barely stand on the spot as the power surges wildly.

The voice of the great demon Feres echoes in my mind.

"Ughhhhhhhh!"

Blood gushes from all over Historia's body.

It was black blood, not human ...... blood.

The large amount of blood spurting out was black blood squeezed from all the great demons.

All of it clings to Historia's body.

"Historia!　You must not use that power!"

Dantalion hastily grabs her by the shoulders.

BOOM......!　And her right arm is blown off.

?

He leaps for distance.

And Dantalion realizes.

"!　The arm I lost ...... doesn't regenerate ......!"

Unlike humans, demons are capable of tremendous regeneration.

No matter how mortally wounded or how damaged their bodies are, their bodies regenerate as long as they live.

...... but the damage caused by the mysterious attack from Historia was not regenerated.

<< Kill, kill, kill, kill!　Kill everything!　I will obliterate it!　And that Julius!　All those who mocked me!　I'll kill you all to pieces! >>

There was the figure of Historia, clad in black blood armor.

The armor, upon closer inspection, was a collection of demons' faces.

"The demons of Solomon have been forcibly stuffed into me. ......!"

To carry a demon in one's body is to suffer excruciating pain.

What would it be like to have nearly 70 demons all crammed into one's body ......?

Unimaginable pain was hitting Historia.

"Headmaster!　Why?　Why is she doing this terrible thing!"

Dantalion looks around and shouts.

He's watching all this from somewhere, against Feres.

"That's your convenience!　What has this child done?

<

"Then ...... could have been me instead!　This girl!　Unlike me, she's a normal girl!　We still have a chance to start over!"

Feres sighs languidly.

"Why not?

BOOM!!! ......!!!　Dantalion's left leg is blown off.

Again, no regeneration occurs, and he falls to his knees.

"What are those ...... tentacles ......?"

Numerous jet-black tentacles sprouted from behind the deformed Historia.

Each tentacle has a different appearance.

One tentacle had a dragon arm at its tip.

One tentacle had a sacred sword at its tip.

<>

Dantalion looks at one of the tentacles.

"I see that you have a demon-destroying sword in your tentacle.

In principle, demons can only be defeated by demons.

But there are exceptions.

The most powerful sword to destroy demons.

It is none other than the holy sword once used by the mightiest hero Eugene.

One of Historia's tentacles ...... was turned into a sword.

<

This was an ultimatum, Dantalion realized.

He had been dodging and dodging missions from the principal.

But today was the last day of school.

No more procrastination .......

<>

Dantalion wobbles, but rises to his feet.

"......No, sir."

>

"I said no!"

A spell blows from her body.

The true power of the demon hidden within is released.

The pretty maiden is transformed into a gigantic monster with a spider's lower body.

"All of you here are my dear friends!　I won't let anyone get hurt!"

>

"My friends!　What's wrong with caring!"

Her body is a deformed monster.

"Even though I was so ugly, ...... she said I was beautiful!　Even the others accepted me, the devil, without alienating me!"

I used to be afraid of exposing this image.

But now she neither shames nor hides her true self.

"I am your friend!　I will protect you and all your precious teammates!　Among them, Historia!　That includes you!"

Even after being touched by Dantalion's kindness, Historia shows no sign of changing her mind.

Unable to control the demons she has captured, she screams like an animal.

"I will never!　I will not give up anyone's life!"

Two great demons collide.
