“Gghh….” (Branch manager)
“Fragile.” (Scarb Queen)
The branch manager fell to his knees, holding one arm. From that one arm, blood was gushing out at an alarming rate. By all accounts, it was unusable. The Queen was looking down at him as if he were nothing.
“Litty!” (Roma)
Roma shouted as the scythe of the Royal Execution Blade headed for Litty. However, Litty dodged it smoothly as if she knew its exact path and then counterattacked with a gale slash.
“…!”
“What are you surprised about? I don’t have time to entertain you.” (Litty)
Litty spoke to the monster, who did not even understand her words. There was no time for her to even think about them, and that was precisely what Litty did.
The branch manager was putting his body on the line to show them the Queen’s movements and attack patterns. Litty was focused, just as she had been when James had fallen, she had been observing her opponents. She pushed her emotions to the back of her mind and looked at nothing but her goal.
The same was true for the others. They attacked the monster, which had lost its balance and was flailing about, with all their attack skills.
“Ooooh, oooh, my strong child. Why?” (Scarb Queen)
“You as well. You don’t have time to think about them.” (Branch manager)
The Branch Manager’s large spear hit the Queen’s shoulder. Normally, he used the spear with two hands, but the branch manager was now using it with one hand after sacrificing his other hand. Was it his stupidity that let him do this, or his strong willpower?
As usual, the attack was barely noticeable in terms of damage, but it did pierce the transparent wings.
“Good, it seems like it was still possible. Even if only a little, I could reduce that speed.” (Branch Manager)
“Human, weak, but still won’t become food. Why?” (Scarb Queen)
‘No time to think of anything else’, Litty muttered over and over in her mind. She had just finished a Royal Execution Blade by smashing its head with an axe. When they aimed their scythes at her, she countered them with perfect timing, like she usually did when she could read her opponent’s movements. She could not finish them off all by herself, but the other members already knew what to do next.
“Gale Slash!” (Roma)
“Ice attribute low-level magic Freeze Bullet!” (Magician)
The second Royal Execution Blade wobbled under the furious pursuit by Roma and the Magicians.
Litty followed the assault and kicked it, then aiming at the third one. When both of them fell over, other members also followed up with a storm of attacks.
“They had to be able to defend themselves before they could defend the queen.” (Roma)
True to Roma’s words, after snapping out of provocation from Roma, even the last guard attempted to return to protect the queen and was now on the verge of death due to the coordinated efforts of the adventurers. If they put a stop to this, all that would remain would be–
“This one, weak, as well!” (Scarb Queen)
The Queen moved towards the dying guard, chomped at it at high speed and devoured it. It was an unimaginably fast attack to expect from her small body. It only took her a few bites to finish the guard. The group was horrified once again by her appetite, which left not even a scythe behind.
The Royal Execution Blade, which had been honestly trying to protect the queen, was devoured by that very queen, herself.
“Weak. More, strong child, or else.” (Scarb Queen)
Scarbs devoured their own kind with no hesitation. They knew about it beforehand, but did not know about the cruelty of a queen who would even eat her own child. Even though they knew in their heads that they were only monsters, they thought differently when witnessing it firsthand.
Did they have to defeat this savage monster now? No, could they even do it? Everyone was wondering about the same thing, and for the first time, their hands trembled as they held their weapons.
“It has become even more interesting than I had imagined it would be.” (Litty)
The only exception, of course, was Litty.
