It was like a crystal lance used by knights, but that was not an ordinary item. Not the slightest crack could be seen on the crystal lance which had managed to crush rocks.
“Is that… magic?”
The spirit system magic caster Entoma felt something from this lance.
“You’re correct. This is the 4th tier spell ‘Crystal Lance’!”
The one replying to Entoma’s question was the person who slowly descended to the rocks shattered by the lance. It was a young girl with a boyish voice, whose physique was small and who wore a mask and a robe.
Yet another enemy, Entoma couldn’t help muttering. Another intruder had appeared in the middle of capturing delicious prey. It was truly cruel that she still had to endure the temptations of delicious food.
“Shall we end it here?”
“...Who are you? I can forgive you if you immediately leave this place. Children are very soft, and I like that, but they never have enough meat on them. I’ll play with you next time, after I eat these two.”
“So that’s what you are; a man-eating monster right? Even wearing a maid outfit, what kind of joke are you trying to pull? Who’d want some bloody smelling monster like you around them?”
“wHAT arE yOu SAYInG?! bItCH!”
Without pausing to think, Entoma let out her real voice, then immediately clamped down on her own throat.
The insult was enough to make her lose her composure and she could never forgive this young girl’s words. It was not because of primal predator urges, but because she was in an extremely bad mood right now, that she wanted to tear apart the woman before her into pieces.
What did this woman say?! To me, a battle maid, which is a high-level existence within the Great Tomb of Nazarick!?
Anger spilled out from the bottom of her heart.
“I’LL kiLL yOu!”
She could not help but to shout with her real voice, but restrained herself from puffing up in the back.
“Evileye!”
Tia shouted out the masked girl’s name. Entoma spoke towards the enemy whom she was already determined to exterminate with her full might:
“I was wondering what you were up to...my, my, doing your lesson 1 huh. It looks like you were assessing the difference in strength between you and your opponents. You must be thinking that ‘this one is stronger than the ones before... but still weaker than me’, right.”
Hearing Entoma’s provocation, Evileye could not hold back shouting out:
“So my companions really were under your ‘care’? You monster. Come, allow me to give you a taste of being the victim of abuse.”
Entoma had no idea that a fierce rage was burning under the mask of her opponent.
Entoma, who was seriously wound up with the intention to kill, ran forward. In her mind dominated by hatred, the other two persons had already become annoyances on the same level as pebbles by the roadside.
She actually said that nobody would enjoy my company!?
The same words repeated over and over again in her mind.
At the same time, the insect whip began to move. Entoma left about one-metre, and formed the rest into a large sphere. Of course Gagaran was in the core part of this shape.
“Die alongside your companions, you unpleasant woman!”
She swung the thousand whips insect down like a hammer.
“Hmph. What a boring attack.”
Evileye remained relaxed.
“「Reverse Gravity」.”
Entoma resisted the magic, but the insect whip lost its gravitational weight and floated upwards.
If the equipment user had successfully resisted, the equipment would likewise be resistant. However in the case of insect weapons, it was not the equipment user but rather the insects themselves which had to do the resisting.
Since it was like this, even if Entoma would not be affected, it would still influence the insect weapon. This was one of the shortcomings, although the insects could attack autonomously.
Even if it was Entoma, she needed to discard her original plan when facing magics like this.
Sensing Entoma’s intention, the insect whip gracefully removed itself from Gagaran. With the speed of a retracting measuring tape, it had formed a ten-metre long insect whip stance. While this was happening, Evileye gave directions to Gagaran who was still tumbling on the ground.
“Gagaran! Get out of the way! Go and quickly tend to Tia’s wounds! If you already used up your gauntlets’ power, then use a recovery potion!”
The injured humans had recovered. If it was only that, then there would be no problem. The fact that the two people were Entoma’s enemies had not changed, but considering the words of the magic caster in front of her, the situation was different.
Evileye and Entoma were on the same level. If they were to help the magic caster, the situation would become unfavourable.
This time, Entoma decided to make use of her ultimate trump card which she was reluctant to use.
She had already used it to eliminate all enemies inside the mansion with a single breath, leaving behind two more instances when she could use it.
That was the breath given off by carnivorous flies, fly breath.
Such breath wasn’t emitted for the sake of eating the meat, but flies would embed their maggot offsprings into the flesh. The maggots would continue to inflict damage from inside of the victim’s body. Even more terrifying was the next step, where a large swarm of flies would emerge from the corpse, then indiscriminately attack other beings inside the area of effect, with the exception of the ability user.
Entoma widened her throat. Her true mouth which did the speaking was in fact her lower jaw. To others, it was a terrifying sight, as if her jaw had slip apart.
From there she spat out swarm of flies.
“You! Could that power be associated with the demon gods! In that case!”
Evileye, who was retaliating released a white mist.
Although using cold gas to counter the attack was an extremely clever move, to completely nullify the effects was very difficult. The most appropriate magic to use would have been explosive magic to roast the entire swarm of flies.
