After Anila defeated Three. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Is it over, guys?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Chatura, in human form, arrives where Anila and Medusa are.
Anila nods slightly and says,
ㅤ
ㅤ
“You’re the slowpoke here, Chatura. Was the enemy too strong for you?”
“What did you say!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Chatura growls in response.
But Anila says seriously.
ㅤ
“The one I defeated claimed to be A Rook Guardian but was hiding his true power. He even had the intelligence to retreat when he knew he was at a disadvantage.”
“! . . . . . .I see. Maybe the Demon King is more powerful than we thought.”
“Exactly. We need to become stronger as well.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Chatura and Medusa nod in agreement.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“So, you understand, right? We’ll need the cooperation of that cow woman going forward.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
The Cow Woman, or rather, one of the Holy Zodiac known as “Hakutaku,” refers to the Vajra.
Vajra has the ability to see the future.
ㅤ
ㅤ
The reason they were able to prevent this attack was solely because Vajra foresaw it.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Kyrie is powerful, but she’s a newly awakened Demon King and also a pacifist. To other Demon Kings, she’s an easy target.”
“. . . . . .So you’re saying everyone is targeting Kyrie because she’s weak?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Medusa looks displeased.
She’s unhappy about her beloved Kyrie being considered weak.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila corrects her.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Kyrie is strong. But the power of the Demon King is immense. It’s so great that it’s difficult to control. A novice Demon King can only use a limited amount of this power until they master it.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Kyrie, being a novice, seems to be unconsciously limiting her power.
Chatura nods.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I sense more power from her than anyone else. She’ll likely become the true Demon King who will save not just this forest but many people.”
“But that’s meaningless if she gets killed first. You get it, Chatura?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Among the monsters surrounding Kyrie, the veterans are Chatura, Anila, and Martel.
The one who hates Vajra the most is none other than Chatura.
ㅤ
ㅤ
He can’t forgive Vajra for killing the previous Holy Demon King Ellison.
Because he loved Ellison and was loyal to her.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“. . . . . .How can you be so rational about this? Aren’t you angry?”
“I’m furious. But. . . . . .killing Vajra isn’t the best strategy. Could you kill an enemy in front of Kyrie?”
“Well. . . . . .”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Kyrie despises blood and violence above all.
However. . . . . .There are times when one must fight, as is the case today.
ㅤ
ㅤ
When that happens, it’s inconvenient to be in front of Kyrie.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“In the world of monsters, it’s survival of the fittest. But. . . . . .Kyrie doesn’t know that. She wouldn’t accept our common practice of killing and eating enemies.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Medusa ate Nana, whom she had defeated.
For her, this was just normal behavior.
ㅤ
ㅤ
But if Kyrie had been there, she would’ve probably cried.
In front of Kyrie, neither fighting nor killing are options.
ㅤ
ㅤ
So the only choice is to always make the first move.
And for that, the ability to see the future is absolutely necessary.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“The situation with Ellison was unfortunate. I can’t make sense of it either. But. . . . . .I don’t want to make the same mistake with Kyrie.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Chatura must feel the same way.
He clenched his lips tightly.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“. . . . . .I never thought I would be admonished by a careless person like you.”
“Shut up, just leave me alone, you stupid mutt.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila forcefully smacks Chatura on the head with her fist.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Alright then, let’s go home.”
