Shadow Farms
“Your Test Results are ‘Positive’“
When Olba reached the frontlines, all the surrounding areas were already stained with blood. The soldiers guarding this facility are not weak. Among them there even had enough power to join the royal guard.
But this…
“How could this happen?!”
Inside the hall of this underground facility, in the only place where light could shine from outside, there was a mountain of piles of corpses.
They all only had a sword wound.
Totally dominated by the overwhelming difference in strength.
“So, this is what you bastard did.!”.
The target of Olba's gaze was a group of people wearing black bodysuits. Judging from the bulges on their bodies, they were all young girls of small stature.
They numbered 7 people in total. Yet in a location that was currently only illuminated by moonlight, their presence was so thin that Olba would lose their sight if he distracted her even for a moment. The girls, through their unusually high proficiency with magic, control their own presence.
They have enough power to match their own. Olba had no choice but to acknowledge this fact.
Among them, a young girl was drenched from head to toe in blood, looking at Olba from top to bottom under the moonlight.
“…!”
Just then, alarm bells rang inside Olba's head. There's no particular reason, it's all just instinct. Every fiber of his being screamed at him that he was dangerous.
When the blood on her bodysuit dripped onto the ground, dripping down, dripping drops, she began to slowly approach him.
While dragging his blood-stained sword to the ground, leaving a trail of blood behind.
“Who are you? What's your destination?!”
Olba asked while suppressing her fear.
Every single one of them had enough strength to rival his, but there were seven of them. How unlucky is his fate?
To put up a fight would be sheer stupidity.
Even while lamenting her own misfortune, Olba continued to look for a way out of this situation.
But the blood-stained girl didn't seem to hear Olba's question.
He just laughed.
Under his blood-stained mask, the blood-stained girl simply laughed.
I'll be killed!
Or so Olba thought, when …
“Back, Delta.”
The blood-stained girl stopped moving.
Then he came back as if nothing had happened. Olba watched him with a sigh of relief.
Instead, a different girl stepped forward.
“We are ‘Shadow Garden’.”
It was such a beautiful voice that if the situation was not like that, she would probably fall in love with him.
“And I'm Alpha.”
And suddenly, he realized that he had removed his mask.
Under the moonlight, his skin glowed dazzling white.
The girl took a step forward.
“…!”
An Elf with blonde hair.
Pretty enough to make her forget to breathe.
Then he took another step forward.
“Our goal ... is the destruction of ‘Order of Diabolos’.”
He swung the black sword that appeared in his hand out of nowhere through the air.
Slash night.
Or so the black blade caused Olba to hallucinate.
The air pressure, the sword pressure, every part of it intimidated and terrorized Olba.
How could he possibly manage to obtain such strength at such a young age?! Olba found himself trembling with jealousy and fear.
But what he found more shocking than his strength were the words that came out of his mouth.
“You fucker ... where did you hear that name from?!”
‘Order of Diabolos’. In this facility, there were only a small handful of people who knew this name.
“We know about it all. Devil Diabolos, Curse of Diabolos, Descendants of Heroes, as well as .. truth ‘demon possession’. ”
Among what Alpha has just said are things that even Olba has recently learned. Those secrets were protected so carefully that it was impossible for them to leak out.
“Do you think that you are the only person chasing ‘Cursed of Diabolos’?”
“Kuh ..!”
This leak of information can never be forgiven.
But to kill these girls to stop the leak?
He has no power to do so.
In this case, all Olba has to do is survive. He must survive and warn the Headquarters of the girls' existence.
Therefore, Olba lunged forward.
“AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!”
Olba drew his sword with vigor, and tried to slash Alpha.
“Ara, really rash.”
Alpha easily fends off his sword.
His reply slashed at Olba's cheek, causing blood to fly through the air.
But Olba didn't stop.
Again and again, without noticing how many times his swing had missed, Olba continued to swing his sword, looking for an opportunity to escape.
But he avoided any scratches with distance like the thickness of paper. Using only a minimal amount of movement, he had fully seen through his swordsmanship and avoided everything perfectly.
If said, the thing that happened was Olba who was affected by the incision. Cuts on his arm. Cuts on his leg. An incision on his shoulder.
But there were no fatal incision wounds.
Determining that his intention was to capture him for interrogation rather than kill him, Olba laughed.
He finally found a way to victory.
After the umpteenth time his sword sliced through the air, Olba suffered a wound on his chest, and again walked backwards.
“It looks like continuing this for longer will just be a waste of time.”
Olba did not answer.
Kneeling while pressing on the wound on her chest, Olba smiled.
“What do you lak- ... what is ?!”
Suddenly, Olba's body doubled in size. His skin turned jet black, his muscles expanded, and his eyes reddened.
And above all, the amount of magic in his body increased explosively.
“…!”
Without any notice, Olba's sword flickered in a cutting attack. Alpha manages to fend it off in time, but the shock causes it to grimace.
As a short assessment, he decided to take some distance by utilizing the impact and jumping backwards.
“What an interesting trick.”
Flapping his somewhat numb hands, Alpha tilted his head.
“That wavelength is a magic aberration, isn't it? Hmm, and you try to force it to press with force?”
“Alpha-sama, will you be fine?”
The other girl behind asked him, seeing Alpha retreat for the first time in this fight.
“No problem, Beta. That's just a little annoying... hmm? ”
When Alpha returns his attention to Olba, he is no longer there.
Instead, there was now a square hole in the place where he stood, with a staircase extending downwards. Hidden door.
“...He escaped.”
“He escaped ... will we catch up?”
But Alpha stopped the girl who was preparing to jump into the hole.
“No need. On the other end ... ‘dia’ is there. “
“‘Dia’... By the way, earlier Shadow-sama did say that he will go and part from us. Could it..?”
“Indeed. He went in an undetermined direction, so I initially thought he was lost, but .. ”
Alpha laughed softly.
“To think that he has predicted even this result .. he never ceases to amaze me.”
The eyes of the girls peering into the hole were all glittering with respect.
