"Damn !!!"
Vannesia's sharp eyes were fixed on the samurai as her hands pointed a sharp kunai to the samurai's neck.
But Watanabe who was cornered by Vannesia's lockdown just sighed and threw his gaze sideways.
"Damn Watanabe !! You're too extravagant to use my precious elixir, damn it !!! "
"Uh, do all Dutch women behave like this ?"
Dorr !!
Immediately a shot passes through Watanabe's temple and startles him.
"Who do you mean by that, huh, you lazy samurai?"
Lucretia immediately gave the samurai a sinister smile while pointed her gun. The samurai could only grimace in silence while looking at the bone wall beside his face, which slightly emitted a thin smoke from the hole created by the bullet.
The wind was heard blowing hard outside, and there were only a few torches that could give them light.
The light illuminating the place they were currently hiding in, namely a passage built from piles of bones, which grew to fill the island full of sand and rock.
Leaving the samurai still at odds with the blonde haired kunoichi, Lucretia continued to bandage the wound on her arm. While in front of him a well-built man named Bastion, was bowing on one knee in front of Lucretia. Then the man started talking...
"It's really nice to see you again, Ms. Lucretia, even in these circumstances "
"Yes …, I didn't expect to meet the two of you in a place like this. But ... what exactly is this place? All I can remember is the giant tsunami that swallowed up our ship ..., after all, how did the two of you end up in a place like this? "
" Well actually, we only follow Ms. Lucretia and the others "
"Follow?"
"Yes, actually this place is a pseudo-world that the devils created with that giant tsunami, miss. So that when the tsunami is about to hit the ship, we can enter this pseudo-world by jumping into the giant tsunami that swallows you, guys "
" Huh !! ... um, I commend you both, to jump in a tsunami of that size...
So that's how it is, so this world is just artificial? Then what you mean by the devils is .... "
"It's the evil being, the thirteen figures beside the floating man earlier ..."
An hour ago...
Lucretia is flabbergasted by the appearance of Bastion and Vannesia who have come to save them. After not seeing each other for so long, seeing the changes that had occurred to the two brothers really made her surprised.
Even more so for the words spoken by Bastion, who said he would get them out of that place. He immediately explained it further.
"Demon-made world? What do you mean Bastion? "
In response to Lucretia's question, Bastion immediately pointed his finger up. Lucretia immediately turned her gaze to the direction Bastion was pointing.
"Huh ..., who ... are they?"
Lucretia gasped at what she saw, thirteen frightening figures, with the form she had never seen before, hovering beside Torrentias while watching the fight of the samurai and the Kunoichi versus the giant dog they created.
"Devils, they are demon spirits that managed to form physical bodies to appear in this world, miss!"
"Devil !! ...."
"Putting that aside, Vannesia and your samurai must be getting tired. For that, we have to quickly escape from here! "
"Escape? Look around you, where else can we hide? "
As Lucretia spreads her hands and shows her surroundings which are only filled with tens or even hundreds of white bones that grow towering from the sandy and rocky ground.
But then the direction of Bastion's eyes stopped Lucretia's despair. Just a few tens of meters behind them, a bone fracture appeared that led to a small hole the size of an adult in the giant bone.
"There, if we can escape there without the devil and the monster dogs knowing, we can hide for a while from the dogs. "
"Is that so. So, do you have a plan? "
"Of course Ms. Lucretia! "
Bastion immediately showed a confident face accompanied by passionate eyes to Lucretia.
§
"Hmm…, Mephisto! Look, it looks like you've got two new intruders! "
"Hmm? Why do I feel like I've seen him before? Mephisto, do you recognize those two faces! "
" Ho ho hooo, how interesting! The unknown intruder, what was their purpose, and how did they get in here? Isn't this going to be interesting, Mephisto? "
Three figures demon began to speak in the sky it was Asmodeus who has a human face, a goat and a bull on his head like a golem that is made up of meat and covered with hair, and Barbatos who was a frail face, bearded and broad-brimmed hat and dress like a wizard, and Furcas in bronze armor complete with fiery swords and black wings.
"Hmm? What are those two abandoned kids doing here? Hmm ... where is he going? Want to run away alone ...? "
Mephisto, who was only looking from above, watched Bastion's movements suddenly running away from Lucretia's group and the other survivors. To the west, he continued running, but it didn't bother Mephisto who was only watching him from a distance.
Then, about five hundred meters from Lucretia's group, Bastion stopped beside a large rock covered in cloth. Mephisto's feelings began to be suspicious, but he still bragged himself to think that whatever Bastion was going to do could harm them.
However, when Bastion opened the cloth, all the demons immediately gave their attention.
"Malphas, what is it?"
" Bone ballistic launcher? Why don't you just ask Leraje, Halphas. Isn't she the one who knows something like that better? "
"Huh, what are you talking about, just so you know, don't think the long bones tied with makeshift ropes are like that is arrow because they look like arrows, then you think of them as arrows! Very different, of course, bird brain! Such barbaric things, you don't deserve to call it an arrow, understand! "
" Heeh, is that so? Yes, whatever you say! "
"Yes!! It's true what Malphas said, it's up to you stone elf !! KWAAKK KWAAAK KWAAKKWAKK KWAKK !!! "
"Stupid! You can't even distinguish between crystals and stones! Laugh as best you can, you bird-brain! "
Wooosh !! Jleeb !! ....
Instantly Bastion fired his first arrow, and the arrow as big as an adult's arm shot straight through the head of Malphas' black and half-white crow.
"Ha ha ha ha, look at that bird brain! isn't it gauze n your head is really cute Malphas? Ha ha ha ha"
"Wow, hi hi hi hi!"
" Tch ! ... "
"Ho ho hoooo, good fashion sense. Malphas , I like it, ho ho ho ho !!"
Leraje, Vepar, and Asmodeus, who saw their comrade shot in the head, burst into laughter.
"CIH !! DAMN, WHY EVERYONE IS HERE, ONLY ME YOU'RE LOOKING FOR DAMNING !! "
Jleeb !!
"Akh ...,"
The next arrow immediately shot out, but this time it pierced right into the human head Asmodeus which was located in the middle of the three mounds of his head.
Woosh !! Jleeb !!
"Ekh !!"
Then, Vepar was impaled on his chest.
Woosh !! Cringg !!
Furcas, but parried with a shield.
Wooosh !! Ckk !!
Leraje, who caught the tip of the arrow with her hand.
"Damn brat !!"
Woosh !! Jleeb !! Woosh !! Ct k !! Woosh !! C r r k !! Woosh ...
One by one, Bastion continued to shoot the arrows he had gobbled at the demons in the air. Even though some of the demons managed to catch or repel the arrows, and some let it pierce their bodies as if it didn't deserve to be a threat at all.
But all that immediately changed when Leraje became aware of the arrow knife that was different from the arrow knife in general. Right in the middle of the knife, there is a thin glass ball containing a liquid accompanied by a glass bottle filled with black powder on the arrow shaft.
And it did not take a long time, immediately another arrow shot through the middle of them with a flaming wick towards the tip of the arrow blade.
The arrow immediately exploded and spread its explosion through the other arrows that were either stuck or held by the demons.
But it was all in vain, with all the explosions and efforts of the Bastion, not a single demon fell. In fact, after the smoke from the explosion began to thin, it was seen that the bodies of the demons that were injured or missing immediately grew and closed again.
And of course, right after the smoke had completely disappeared, Mephisto finally came to his senses.
While gripping his hands very tightly, and showing a face shrunken to a slightly blackish color, his gaze immediately roamed all the places he could see.
"Damn you, runny kid !! HOW DARE YOU FOOL US, HUUH !!!! "
Besides, the dogs that had been cut and battered were not moving anymore. Bastion and all the other survivors, including the samurai, Vannesia and Lucretia, have disappeared somewhere.
