「But I can’t believe that swordwoman came here.

What a coincidence.」

「…It’s true that it feels like fate… but the result was good… in fact, if it weren’t for that Lisa or whoever that sensor is… we had to resort to more aggressive measures…」

「You’re right! Thank you, O Spirit, for this turn of events!」

「…If we were grateful to them, the spirits would be annoyed…」

 

Leaving Alfiris to deal with Man Eater, the two proceed onward.

The door was still long ahead, and the passage became narrower and narrower, and they too felt the air becoming stagnant and rotten with each step they took.

An ordinary person would be suffocated and unable to move on, but not these two.

 

「Hmm— this is good.

It’s so hot, isn’t it」

「…Indeed, this is a big deal… Can you control it…」

「I wonder~ Well, if I couldn’t do it, I’d be just like that, or would that be fun Just kidding.」

「…Even your own death is a pleasure… But I like that about you…」

「Oops, do your confession in a more moody place, okay」

 

Doom winked at him, while Lifeless unusually twisted his mouth to show his emotion.

 

「…I have no taste for that…」

「Ahaha, I can’t work for anyone but women either.

I don’t want a man under my command unless he’s really funny!」

 

Toward the end of the digression, they arrived at a small room.

There, on a pedestal, was a vial and a sword stuck in the ground.

Both were no doubt ominous, but at the same time they wore a bewitching air that captivated people.

 

「Which is our goal」

「The vial, it is.

I don’t know much about the sword…… Nhn」

 

When Doom carelessly put his hand on the bottle, a gloopy, black liquid flowed out of the bottle.

 

「What the hell」

「…Be careful… The seal is still working, but apparently the grudge inside far outweighs it… It’s coming out…!」

 

Doom, who had been talking to Lifeless, looked at his hand and saw that the vial was already overflowing with black liquid like a spring, and that it was climbing up his hand as if it had a will of its own.

 

「Uoooi! What on earth is this This is a real jerk, trying to take me in, isn’t it!」

 

Doom began to release his own built-in evil spirit, antagonizing the erosion of the vials.

Sweat was beading on his forehead.

 

「…Hmm, how’s it going…」

「Somehow it’s all right, but… I’ve got my hands full trying to keep them in line.

As tough as they are, apparently they’ve been sealed up for hundreds of years and they’re getting worked up.」

「…Then, what shall we do…」

「We’re going to let them rampage a bit.

However, if this attacks the mercenaries there, Man Eater will probably swoon, and if we’re not careful, they may fall out with her.

Probably not enough of them.

It would be best to take them to some village or town and let them run rampant.

I’m sorry, but can you help me with the transfer I can’t afford it.」

「…What will we do about Man Eater and Alfiris’ group…」

「If it’s Man Eater, why don’t we just leave her alone I’m not interested in someone who’s going to die over this.

I can’t help it, Lisa-chan, but I’ll give up this time.

We can play again if we have a chance.」

「…I thought you wanted some company… what a cruel bastard you are…」

「I don’t want any friends who can’t play with me.

Lisa-chan, let’s play again, okay」

 

And so Doom and Lifeless disappeared from the dungeon with the vial.

After the evil presence disappeared, a sword emitting black light was left stuck in the ground.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries, including Alfiris and others, were at a loss as to what to do in the face of a child summoned before their eyes.

It cannot be just a child because those people summoned it, but its appearance is too young.

She does not feel the urge to kill again, but just looks around with still, depressed eyes.

The fact that she looked like a war orphan, with her emaciated skin and bones and tattered rags, made them pity her even more and dulled them resolve to let them swing their swords.

Perhaps unable to bear the bizarre confrontation between nearly 100 armed mercenaries and such a ragged child staring at him, one mercenary finally opens his mouth.

 

「Oi, are you an enemy…」

 

Man Eater reacted with a jerk and slowly turned around.

Then she began to move her mouth to say something.

 

「………so………gry……」

「Come again」

「I’m so hungry.」

 

The mercenary, unable to gauge the meaning of these words, answered as he was.

 

「…Unfortunately, I did not have any food with me.

I’m sure we could at least get some food if we went above ground.」

「 There’s a lot of food in front of me, you know」

「What did you say…」

 

Before the mercenary could finish his sentence, Man Eater moved.

She leapt at the mercenary with blinding speed.

And then, as if only her head had instantly swelled to the odd size of an adult male, her mouth opened wide, up and down, and she was head over heels in front of the mercenary.

 

Boom, boom! Crunch… snap, munch, munch, munch… gulp.

 

And Man Eater’s head that quickly returns to the size of the original girl.

After the mercenary that were there earlier… He stood only from his knees down.

Man Eater chewed him up without regard to his gear or his sword.

Then, without even trying to hide her bright red mouth, Man Eater walks up to the mercenary next to her, extending her hand.

 

「……Can I have more」

「Hi–hi–hieek!!!」

 

The mercenary blindly swings his sword down at Man Eater, not quite understanding the situation at hand.

However, she easily caught the sword in her teeth and bit it off.

 

Bang!

 

The iron sword breaks without hesitation.

Man Eater eats the sword as it is.

 

「Ah, ahhh……」

「…Not very tasty.」

 

And just as the Man Eater’s body floated in the air to pounce on the mercenary—— Nia’s flying kick slammed into her stomach.

Man Eater was then blown straight to the wall 20 meters away and slammed down.

 

「Move it, you bastards!!」

 

The mercenaries are roused to their senses by Nia’s exhortation.

Alfiris and the others also come to their senses.

 

「Nia!」

「Watch out, everybody.

That girl’s packed!」

「…Why, are you interfering…」

 

Man Eater stands up, shakily.

Lisa seems to be detecting the situation.

 

「Attention, everyone! The thing is not the creature it appears to be.

She’s no longer alive…… she’s probably some sort of evil spirit that has been around for decades!」

「…I’m, I’m just hungry, that’s aaaallarrruhghhhhhhgh!!!」

 

The child’s figure is transformed by a voice so low and ferocious that it is hard to believe it is a child.

In no time at all, she exceeded the height of an adult and continue to transform her body into a giant.

Its body has a rock-like outer surface and a large mouth that opens horizontally.

Her teeth are saw-toothed, like those of a shark.

It has six hairy legs like a spider and a mouth on the end of its long tail.

And it had large scissors in place of two hands, and the figure of the child mentioned earlier protruded from the torso only from the chest up.

 

「What the hell, is this creature…」

「This… various creatures combined」

「Did a spider and the crab get married」

「Lisa, don’t say such creepy things.」

「Alfie, I’ll leave this you here!」

「Ehh!」

 

Rhine leaves the scene.

 

「That bastard just threw down the fight!」

「Leave him alone! It’s coming!」

「I’m sooooooo hungryyyyyyyyyyy!!」

「Guoooooooo!」

「Gehyahyahya!」

 

Man Eater’s mouth, her body mouth and her tail mouth barks separately.

And when the mouth on the torso barked, they saw many human faces with bloodshot, red eyes in the mouth.

All of them were like the eyes of an evil spirit that envies the living.

Compared to the Archfiend they fought before, it was still closer to a living creature, she thought to herself.

This thing in front of her is no longer a child or even a living thing.

 

「We all fight to surround her!」

 

Alfiris reflexively sends out an instruction.

The mercenaries followed the instructions without anyone else, and the battle began.
