Episode 85 : Evil Eater

[ J, just how far….!]

A few seconds after she was taken off to the air, Amy muttered as she saw Bloodwell Castle shrinking at the edge of her field of vision.
The wind controlled by Tia deprived the female demonkin of her freedom, as it kept her unbalanced in midair.

[How dare you do this to me! I’ll definitely… kill you!!]

Amy, who emitted an enormous amount of magical power that belied her childlike appearance, caused a small shred of fear to appear in Tia’s heart.
It’s only natural.
The only other opponent Tia had ever faced that is stronger than herself was Trident.
That is also something she doesn’t remember well because she was blinded by hatred back then. In a sense, this would be the first time.
Moreover, the opponent is far superior to herself. Tia may reach that level soon, but she knew that she’s not the female demonkin’s match as it is now.
She was enthusiastic because the strategy was going well, but now that she had seen the magical power of Amy, Tia once again felt the difference in power.
Amy did not overlook the slight opening.

[Hyaaaaaaaa!]

[Guh!?]

Amy escaped the slightly weakening prison by colliding her own magic power with it. But without any means of flight, she ended up free falling to the town below.
Tia intended to drop her a little further away from the center, but she couldn’t have predicted that Amy would fall herself.
If she falls from 200 meters above the sky, even Amy is a demonkin, she will not be safe.

[If so!]

Tia moved towards the free-falling Amy, and struck her down, accelerating the fall.
She tried to slam her down and finish it, but Tia saw Amy’s expression and she was terrified.
Her expression on her face was a smile that was almost like “Thank you”.

Amy, who continued to fall, crashed at a black building at a tremendous speed with a loud noise.
Tia was staring at her from above as the dust rose from the collapse of the building.
She eventually succeeded in slamming her into the ground from above as planned.
However, Amy’s fearless smile never left Tia’s head.

[Is that fear I’m sensing…?]

[Eh!?]

Tia’s heart lurched.
At the moment Tia turned around due to the voice she suddenly heard from behind her, she also heard the sound of her bones breaking from within her body.

[A…guhhh…!]

[I’ll punish you severely… I’m not gonna let you die so easily!!]

Grabbing Tia’s hair, who was holding her belly in pain, Amy sent her straight to the ground.
Amy didn’t have the ability to fly. But that’s the story up to that point.
People tend to call her magecraft “evil eater” in fear.
She detested that name, but for the lack of better wordings, she could only grudgingly accept it.
As the name suggests, she can eat almost anything that normally cannot be eaten, and uses what she devoured temporarily.
Now that she had eaten Tia’s “wind”, she had gained the ability to manipulate wind for a period of time.

[That’s it! I’ll kill you to the extent that you don’t die!]

[Ahaha!]

[Kuh!?]

Just before she hit the ground, Tia desperately manipulated the wind and escaped from Amy. But she couldn’t kill her momentum completely and ended up rolling on the ground.
The snow that had begun to pile up broke her fall somewhat, but she still took quite a lot of damage.
Tia, who fell prone to the ground, desperately lifted her body with her quivering hands trying to get up.

[Geho…. Ha… ha…. fufu….]

Her body was full of wounds, and the blood that spilled out of her mouth dyed the white snow red.
However, she laughed for some reason.
Making the approaching Amy to wrinkle her eyebrows

[What are you laughing at…. Have you turned mad from fear?]

[Nothing… I just wonder why I forgot… now it has returned to me]

[…..Ha?]

It is not the first time that her body is full of wounds and bloody.
It wasn’t really a big deal for her either.
This pain wasn’t much compared to the three years she spent as an incompetent.
In the first place, the scariest thing for Tia was not her own demise.
She may have forgotten it because of her superior position that the operation was successful.
The idea that “She won’t die” had dulled her. And it embarrassed her.
And thus Tia sprung back to fight for her life.
It would be rude to him if she didn’t.

[Ah … I’m not scared … because I know something scarier …]
[….eh, talking a lot now, aren’t you? What are you trying to do here? How did you know about the device!?]

[I don’t care about that … Geho … Ha … I didn’t come here for that. My dear person … I came to help the person I cherish. That is all…!]

[What the…. No way…!]

[You lot will learn… to not make any of them sad!!]

A heavy snowstorm had already begun to blow around.
The field of view was closed by white snow, and the appearance of Bloodwell Castle in the distance was completely covered.
Only knowing the purpose of her intruder, Amy devised her magical power to leave Tia and fly to the castle.
However, she couldn’t

[Ha!?]

[It’s alright… why in such a hurry….. No need to haste… we… aren’t done here yet]

Amy’s ankle was caught in the ice, rendering her unable to take flight.
The ice quickly rose from her knees to her thighs.

[This…!]

[You can eat anything, right? Fine… have a go]

Those words of hers surprised Amy, who shifted her gaze from her feet to Tia.
All the snowstorms that should have fallen around her are condensed in the palm of her hand.
More and more came in, as if being sucked into the sphere.
It was far too late when Amy realized this.

[Mogaa!?]

That large amount of condensed materials had already been thrown into Amy’s mouth.
A small white grain passed through her throat from her mouth and decondensed the moment it reached her stomach.

[Guhaa! Wha… thi.. Sudo… sudoop….!]

[A lot more from whence it came… eat all of iiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!]

[Guhaaaaaaaaaaa!?]

Tia directed even more blizzard into Mia, rendering the latter immobile.
She knew it won’t be enough to kill Amy, but it should at least immobilize the female demon for a long while
Her body ached each time she used her magic, but that doesn’t matter anymore.
She’s more concerned about being of any help to Rhode to care about her own condition.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!]

Tia then placed her hands on the ground, burying the snow-encased Amy with soil.
She only stopped after a small mountain had been formed, which at that point she fell weakly to her knees.

[Geho … uh … but I have to go back … If I’m left here, Rhode-san will not be able to escape … that won’t do.]

I knew he would look for me.
I’m sure he won’t leave by himself.
Those thoughts spurred her to get back up on her feet.

[That direction… what…!?]

Before Tia knew it, there were a lot of monsters around her.
Amy seemed to choose to fall into the town in anticipation of that.
By the time she noticed, it was too late, and there was no escape route for Tia, as she was completely surrounded.
But she had already run out of her magic power.
Her physical ability is below average. It was no exaggeration to say that the attack she received from Amy was quite fatal as well.

[No… I mustn’t… I must not die here…!]

She squeezed the last of her magic power and got ready.
He taught her not to give up.
To look forward to the future.

[Bring it on… I won’t lose… to the likes of you!!]

The monsters rushed in at once with that as a signal.
The moment she tried to squeeze her last power, the demon was blown away by something invisible.

[Eh…?]

Dozens of monsters surrounding her were expelled in no time.
At that time, her tense thread of tension broke. Tia lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
As she was on the verge of landing on the ground, a man caught her.

[AAAAA! choo…..it was cold! It’s cold! Damn you, Ban … I’m gonna get back at you for real! Geed’s magical power is … over there! Wait … the hero is It’s coming late! Hyaha! Oh, this little one will die if I don’t give her recovery medicine … “

The man who traversed Valhalla, ran through the sea, and to the frigid land.
He who appeared in place of the currently busy Ban, saved Tia’s life and was about to start running again.
