Albero, holding his right eye, looked at the “girl” in front of him.
Compared to himself with black hair, the girl had pure white long hair.
With his red eyes, the girl had eyes as blue as the sky.
While his right hand was enlarged, the girl’s left arm was enlarged.
Against his own pitch-black skin with red vein-like lines making a sinister right arm, the girl had a divine left arm with pure white skin and blue lines.
He was a man, whereas the other was a woman.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .”
“Fufu, we look kinda similar, don’t we?”
ㅤ
Albero removed the hand that was holding his right eye.
His right eye, her left eye. Only those “eyes” were the same.
The girl, known as Shin・Asgard, smiled brightly at Albero.
ㅤ
“Hey, tell me your name, Jabberwock’s boy.”
“. . . . . .”
“Ignoring me? . . . . . .That’s sad. Let’s have a little chat.”
“. . . . . .Albero・Rushout.”
“Albero, huh? Then just call me Shin. And. . . . . .huh?”
ㅤ
Shin, who was casually chatting with Albero, was surrounded by Damocles, Esterize, and Venus. Moreover, knights drew their swords, and the remaining heroes began to emanate a daunting aura.
Then, Gabriel stepped forward and spoke.
ㅤ
“Shin・Asgard.”
“Hm? . . . . . .Aren’t you Gabriel? Were you always this cute?”
“You’ve become quite youthful. I remember you being older. . . . . .”
“Hm, just a makeover. Of course, the inside hasn’t changed at all.”
“Is that so. Do you know where you are right now?”
“I know. It’s home. . . . . .yeah, it smells nice. The scent of home. . . . . .sorry, I smell bread. Is the kitchen close? I’m getting hungry.”
ㅤ
Shin laughed and scratched her head.
There was no tension. Yet, no one was letting their guard down.
It was clear from the atmosphere alone. The Shin・Asgard in front of them was the real deal.
Damocles clenched his fist.
ㅤ
“I’ll tell you this, even if you change your appearance, I won’t hold back. This time, I’ll obliterate you completely!!”
ㅤ
Damocles was so powerful that one might forget he only had one arm.
Then, Kid, who was near Albero, pointed 『Headsman』 at Shin and spoke.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Strange.”
“Huh. . . . . .?”
“That confidence. As you can see, this place is hostile territory for the Demon Emperor. Surrounded by heroes, no way out. . . . . .what’s with that composure. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Despite being completely surrounded, Shin was laughing out loud.
At a glance, she looked no different from any other girl around.
No escape in this situation. What would she do?
Then, the king, who had been silent until now, spoke.
ㅤ
“Demon Emperor Shin・Asgard. What do you wish for?”
“Oh? Are you the king? My wish is simple! I want this world to belong to the summoned beasts, and I’d like humans to perish.”
“. . . . . .That’s impossible. We can’t allow humanity to be exterminated.”
“I figured as much. So, we have no choice but to fight.”
“Indeed. But let me make one thing clear. In this situation, you’re already cornered.”
“Hmm. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Twenty-one heroes, all S-class, surrounded by soldiers of B-class.
Shin smiled and said.
ㅤ
“No, you guys are the ones who are cornered?”
“What━━?!”
ㅤ
The moment Shin’s left eye shone, everyone in the vicinity, except for Albero, turned pale blue and knelt down.
“Wha. . . . . .Hey, Kid?! Ashe, Lapis, Ridelle. . . . . .hey?!”
“Uh, ah. . . . . .”
“Ah, u…”
“U. . . . . .wh, what is this.”
ㅤ
The king, Sanbalt, Yorha, the twenty-one heroes, the S-class individuals, and the soldiers by the wall, all of them were in a pale blue state, clutching their chests and trembling.
Only Albero was unharmed.
Shin spoke, looking at Albero.
ㅤ
“Albero, it’s study time!”
“What did you do to everyone?!”
“Impatient, aren’t you? Listen. Firstly, what do you think the ability of our 『Nether Eye Balor』 that resides in our eyes is?”
“What?. . . . . .Abilities like seeing meridian threads or the flow of life force, or interfering with the world of summoned beasts. . . . . .”
“Wrong. Well, you’re not entirely off. But that’s just an extra feature. . . . . .the true ability is 『Life Force Interference』. In other words, this eye can freely manipulate the life force in this world and the world of summoned beasts. Look, see for yourself?”
“. . . . . .What?!”
ㅤ
Albero looked at Kid with his right eye.
Throughout his body were the meridian threads. Moreover, a faint and vague life force was circulating within.
But something was off.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .What’s this? The flow of life force is. . . . . .slow?”
“Yes. I just played with the flow of life force in everyone here~♪ Life force is as important as blood, circulating within the body. What do you think happens when I mess with its flow?”
“. . . . . .You.”
“I’ve only disrupted the flow of life force for now. What do you think will happen if I completely stop it or make it flow backward? Fufu, you get it now, right? As long as you’re alive, you can’t beat me. It used to be a strain on my body to use these eyes. But with this new body I’ve created, I don’t feel any strain.”
ㅤ
Albero pointed his right hand at Shin.
ㅤ
“I’ll crush you!!”
“Right. Only you, with the same eyes, can fight me. Fufufu, I’ll play with you♪.”
ㅤ
Albero clenched his right hand and shouted.
ㅤ
“Seize───『Jabberwock』!!”
“Offer───『Queen・Of・Heart』.”
ㅤ
A sinister right arm and a divine left arm enlarged.
With no one able to move, the battle between Albero and Shin began.
