Contract and the Demon King

That's not something that happens in an instant.

It can be seen that the mouse-eyed man wants to move at the fastest speed, but even so, that speed is still too slow for Art, who has received physical training in Roland.Yate is confident that he can subdue the man in front of him in an instant with that kind of layman's movement that can be seen clearly.

In the next instant, the distance of one meter was shortened to half a meter.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The body flew up.

He didn't do it on his own initiative, there was a scream not far away, but before he could recognize whose voice it was, reality had pulled his thoughts back.

(Eh?)

Not only is it getting farther and farther away from the mouse-eyed man who pulled out something, but also some red liquid is spilled in the air between the two.

(Ah...that's...)

Noticing the wound on his chest, Art finally understood where the red liquid came from.

That is blood.

own blood.

"Bang"!The boy who was cut flying fell heavily to the ground.

"Art——!!!"

Teresa, who didn't expect the situation to suddenly become like this, let out a wail, and ran to the boy who was lying in a pool of blood desperately.Standing there, Haruka watched this scene in surprise.Unlike Teresa who subconsciously ran towards Art, perhaps because of being too surprised, Haruka stayed there for a while.

"Damn brat, you dare to trick my daughter, you can go to hell like this!"

After slashing Yate, the mouse-eyed man became even more excited. After waving his weapon, he walked towards Yate and Theresa step by step.It was a black dagger.The surface of the short sword has a simple texture.Now that it has been activated, the texture is slightly emitting a cherry blossom-colored light.

Yate, who was chopped off, managed to maintain consciousness, and even managed to sit up.

(If this kind of injury is not treated quickly...you will die...)

After a brief physical examination, Art quickly came to a conclusion.

The reason why he should have escaped the slash but was still chopped off is no longer the time to delve into it.Although it was not a fatal injury, but now that he had suffered serious injuries and the amount of bleeding was increasing, he could hardly even stand up.

It won't work if it goes on like this.

If it goes on like this, nothing can be protected.

"Theresa, run away..."

"...No, how can..."

"His goal...is just you alone, as long as he can escape back to Brother Yue..."

like that.Should be able to be saved.

Unlike myself, if it was that person, he would definitely be able to protect Teresa well.Obviously no one has guaranteed it, but he just has this feeling.

It's different from the self who wanted to be a hero but was chopped off by the embarrassment.That person will definitely do it.

but.

"No."

The girl had no intention of leaving at all.

"Hear me out……"

"do not want!"

Not only did she not leave like this, but she also tried to hug the boy up, but Teresa's strength was obviously not strong enough to hug Art.

"Okay, dear girl, the person who got in the way has been killed. Come on, come here quickly."

After saying that, the mouse-eyed man with the murder weapon in his hand opened his arms.That disgusting smile is like a hungry mouse seeing delicious cheese before being starved to death.At the same time, the dagger was still tightly held in his right hand, so there was no doubt that he would slash and fly the obstructer again.

Because of someone else's fault, I have nothing now.But that's not really anything too hopeless.He believed that if he could be with his "daughter", then their future should be very happy.

For the sake of that happy future, those in the way must be removed now.

"Run away..."

"How could this be!"

Even so, Teresa couldn't help it.Seeing the mouse-eyed man approaching step by step, she couldn't do anything.

Unlike Art, who seems to have been trained, she is just an ordinary girl.He doesn't know any superb physical skills, nor can he manipulate powerful wingsuits.She is a very ordinary girl who would be startled even when she sees a cockroach.

Not to mention knocking the pervert in front of him away, even the trembling of his body couldn't be suppressed well.

"do not come!"

In the end, standing in front of her like this was Haruka who had brought a wooden stick from nowhere.

The pose he posed was obviously that of an outsider.To describe it, it was as if Her Royal Highness, a princess who had never learned martial arts, suddenly picked up a weapon.

"Are you here to get in the way again?"

It was as if patience had finally been worn out.The mouse-eyed man sped up his speed and raised the dagger in his hand——

........................

The moment when the anxiety reached its peak was the moment when Yue finally arrived at the scene.

The injured Art fell to the ground, and Teresa, whose clothes were already stained with blood, was kneeling beside him, and the blood was gradually spreading.If he just left it like this, he must be close to death.

but.That's not what he really cares about.

The moment he witnessed it, the things in front of him had completely attracted his attention.

"what--"

It was a girl with long cherry blossom-colored hair.

Although he was wearing a traveler's outfit that didn't match his temperament, but against the backdrop of his beauty and temperament, there was no sense of disobedience at all.He held an ordinary wooden stick in both hands, but at this moment, the wooden stick that seemed to be used as a self-defense weapon had been broken into two pieces.The culprit who caused all this was still in a slashing posture, and there was still a little blood on the dagger in his hand.

Because the wooden stick was cut off easily, the girl took a step back, but the other party didn't seem to want to stop there.

After a pause, the dagger in his hand slashed at the cherry-haired girl along the track determined by the man.

The target is the girl's neck.

"what……"

Before the brain reacts, the body has already made an action.

However, even if you rush over with all your strength now, the distance between the two sides cannot be shortened instantly.While running desperately, his right hand instinctively reached out to the cherry-haired girl who was still some distance away from him.

"what!"

It can't just end like this.

I don't know why, but no, absolutely no.Such an outcome is absolutely unacceptable.

There must be a way.

To change this bad ending, to complete the reversal, so that she can be happy——

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Probably because he heard the shout, the mouse-eyed man's slashing slowed down for a while, and he showed a surprised expression the moment he saw Yue.

But this kind of thing is fine.

Compared with her, other things are not important at all.

His eyes were stained blue.

To be precise, it was blue, and with a certain feeling, blue flames ignited around, most of which turned into a pillar of blue fire and rushed forward.The other party seemed to want to avoid it, but the speed of the pillar of fire was not something he could match.

The short sword in his hand was reduced to ashes together with his arm, and no blood flowed out because the wound was completely charred.

The man who couldn't even feel the pain just stood there in a daze, and the pillar of fire that continued forward naturally hit the grove in the park, causing the grove to instantly fall into a sea of ​​flames.

Of course, this kind of thing is fine.

"You...strange...wow——"

The man with the broken arm seemed to want to say something, but the words were forcibly interrupted.The reason is that the head was easily grabbed and then lifted up.

A blue flame erupted from his hand, and the head held in his hand was instantly burned to ashes.

The rest of the body fell to the ground like garbage, and because it was afraid of accidentally burning her, it also extinguished the surrounding Cang Yan.

Turning her head, Yue looked at the girl standing beside her in a daze.

With the hands that took a life just now, hugged her tightly, as if embracing a treasure that was more important than life.
