『What next?』

    「For the meantime, I’ll do it thoroughly」

    『Use them as a warning huh . You want me to do it?』

    「Let me see . I’ll leave it to you」

    『Umu . Leave it to me . I guess we should’ve brought Hikari as well』

    Eleanor said looking seriously regretful .

    While she would show great rivalry towards her daughter Hikari as a Demon Sword, she would teach Hikari many things on what a Demon Sword should be .

    Although it seems contradictory at first glance, it looks like she has some logic behind it .

    「D-Damn you」

    「Un?」

    「You think you defeated us with just this?! Hmph, we won’t yield even in this situation!」

    「T-That’s right! We shall exterminate your existence in the name of God!」

    The two men recovered from their surprise and showed their hostility while they said that confidently .

    “What the heck……” soon after I thought of that, the men placed their hands together and started to pray .

    Their bodies released a light . It’s a light that really looked holy . There’s no doubt that they’re planning to do something though .

    『Kukuku, look how complacent they are . They seem to be young nobles who don’t know real battle』

    Eleanor seemed like she’s found it funny yet rolling her eyes .

    It’s exactly as she said .

    These two clowns started chanting or praying in front of the enemy without guarding at all .

    To test the waters, I kicked the ground and a small pebble jumped out in reaction .

    That pebble grazed one of the men’s cheeks, creating a wound .

    The man opened his eyes in his prayer pose and looked shocked .

    Is this for real? They really didn’t do any countermeasures?

    『What an interesting bunch . It makes me want to watch them finish』

    I can understand what Eleanor said . Seeing how stupid they are, I want them to show me what they’re planning to do .

    That’s why I let them . I waited for them to do what they’re doing .

    After waiting for about a minute .

    After I’ve waited for them for enough time to kill them 777 times, a monster shining with a light appeared in front of the two .

    The reason why I called it a monster is because its lower body is that of a snake, and the upper body is that of an armored woman holding a sword and a shield .

    「This is what is sent to us by our Lord!」

    「The Guardian Holy Beast Lamia!」

    The two men who summoned that Lamia thing quickly acted as if they’ve won .

    「Go, Lamia!」

    「Kill that Demon Sword Wielder!」

    As soon as the man ordered it, the Lamia charged towards me .

    She swung her sword while charging in a snake-like unpredictable way . The blade of its sword was swung down reflecting the moonlight .

    I blocked using Eleanor, sparks scattered .

    Its power, speed, and proficiency in attacking .

    Each of them was quite decent . About the same level with the current Selene .

    I judged that while receiving its first attack .

    『Dodge!』

    「Mu!」

    I kicked the ground and jumped back after hearing Eleanor’s warning . A sharp slash grazed the tip of my nose .

    I checked after I landed . It wasn’t Lamia’s sword, but there’s nothing else .

    『No, there is』

    「What? Mu!」

    Soon after Eleanor said that, “that” appeared .

    As if the darkness beside the Lamia melted, that thing appeared just as if its camouflage was released .

    It looks exactly like the Lamia .

    They completely look the same . Another Lamia appeared like a reflection in the mirror .

    「An invisible surprise attack huh」

    『……that, seems to be not the case』

    「What’s happening, another Lamia appeared」

    「This never happened before……」

    The two men who summoned the Lamia looked confused . It seems like the situation was unexpected for them as well .

    『What are you going to do?』

    「For starters, I’ll try to slash them」

    I charged raising Eleanor . I swung her down at speed exceeding the Lamia’s reaction speed .

    The Demon Sword flashed . One of the Lamias were defeated and disappeared after turning into mist .

    「This is……」

    I didn’t bother to attack the other Lamia and jumped back . It’s because the feeling when I cut the Lamia was familiar .

    「Eleanor」

    『There’s no doubt . It’s the same with that white snake』

    I got Eleanor’s agreement .

    The feeling I got from cutting that Lamia was the same with the Opis, that white snake .

    Come to think of it, it released a light, and its lower half is that of a snake .

    『However……they doesn’t look like they’re dividing』

    「……probably」

    I raised Eleanor and casually approached . I enveloped myself in my dark cloak aura to provoke the enemy to attack .

    The Lamia swung down its sword and I blocked using Eleanor .

    Sparks scattered and another invisible slash came from the side .

    I dodged it at paper’s width and gave an observant stare .

    Just like earlier, a Lamia appeared from invisibility .

    『I see . This time, it doesn’t multiply its numbers when you cut it, but it does when it cuts you』

    「It’s power and speed are the same . It’s really the same with Opis . ……and」

    『Umu』

    I chopped the new Lamia that appeared with the returning blade and it appeared .

    The lottery ticket .

    It appeared after I defeated the first Lamia, and it appeared again this time .

    I continued . I guarded against the Lamia’s attack making it multiply and defeat the new Lamia that appeared .

    More lottery tickets appeared .

    It looks like defeating them gives me one lottery ticket each .

    『You’re going to farm them?』

    「It’s the perfect time to do so」

    『How about those guys?』

    「Just about to take care of it」

    『Umu?』

    While I was farming lottery tickets from the Lamias, the men looked shocked .

    The two of them haven’t noticed yet . They haven’t noticed that their feet were already tied up by my aura and Eleanor’s aura .

    It’s the aura I released when I made my dark cloak aura . Starting now, I’ll take my time to grant them fear, creating the foundation for their confession .

    「Uuu……UUWAAAAAAA!!」

    「There’s something! Don’t! Nooooo! Don’t enter me!!」

    The punishment for plotting against my woman . I’ll let them have a taste of it while I farm .
