Chapter 87: The One-Eyed Othinus End - The Spoiler
it's over.
The blond girl in the pointed hat stared down, declaring the conclusion of a victory or defeat as if the dust had settled, but there was no trace of excitement or joy on her face.
This is the natural result.
Even if the battle reaches the level of "Demon God", it is still impossible for an imitator who is not very mature to surpass her.
If the gap was so easy to bridge, she wouldn't have been feared for so long.
Everything is as expected.
However.
"...Yeah, I lost."
The frank and free-spirited words floated past his ears, causing Othinus to subconsciously lower his gaze.
The exhausted brown-haired girl barely supported her body and kept her balance on the ice.
Even in this desperate situation, there was no despair on her face, nor could she feel any regret or unwillingness.
This reaction was obviously different from what Othinus had guessed.
She didn't even have much energy left, so she was sure that the weak look was definitely not fake.
but.
But.
Why...there is an indescribable sense of violation?
The one-eyed god couldn't help but frown, resisting the possibility of this evidence from the bottom of his heart.
Obviously, she is the winner.
Othinus tried to use facts to smooth over this confusion.
at this time.
"Othinus."
The thin figure that was about to fall down at any moment spoke again.
"Can I ask you a question?"
Her lips moved slightly and she breathed out irregularly.
There's probably no point in rejecting it.
Othinus thought.
However, other purposes are not excluded.
"Is it possible that at this time, you are still planning to delay? I should not have the obligation to answer your questions."
The girl with the eye patch responded with an indifference that suited the current situation.
However, the questioner doesn't care about this.
She still went her own way and continued the conversation.
"Othinus, have you ever had something important that you had to protect even if it didn't cost your life?"
All sounds that did not belong to this sentence disappeared at this moment.
"What are you looking for so far?"
"...!"
The pure demon's eye shrank suddenly as if it had been stimulated.
It was as if there was something that I had always wanted to hide, but someone had torn it apart without reservation.
That's her biggest secret.
It is also the secret that she must complete at all costs.
was discovered.
Actually at this time...
………………Yes.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Othinus quickly figured out the key points after piecing together the fragments in his mind.
'she'.
The star girl in front of me.
Also a demon.
In that case, it’s not surprising that some ‘imperfect flaws’ will be noticed.
Othinus, who understood, immediately put away her leisurely mood. This time, it was her turn to ask a question.
"How much did you 'see'?"
"Who knows, probably, it's a little more than you estimated."
‘Zera’ smiled slightly.
Othinus could no longer laugh.
The emergence of another demon in 'this world' is an unexpected development, so she is uncharacteristically aggressive and insists on deciding the winner between beings equal to herself.
She doesn't need extra 'compatriots' to tell her what to do.
It is enough to have one master who can freely manipulate the canvas of the 'world'.
The one-eyed girl knows it very well.
The current "Othinus" can also take advantage of the opponent's vulnerability period when he has just become a "demon" to suppress "Astraea" through his "total" advantage, but this also means that "Astraea"
"As long as the shortcomings in "total quantity" are solved, it is also possible to suppress "Othinus" in turn.
Once it develops like this, it will become a luxury for her to continue to do whatever she wants in 'this world'.
It can't be delayed any longer.
Othinus hinted clearly.
In order to achieve her wish, she must continue to be ruthless.
This has always been the case.
The agitating force behind the scenes started again.
There are still three rounds left in the "Crossbow", which is more than enough.
Although the 'infinite possibilities' caused her to fail to prevent her opponent from becoming a demon in the negative direction, it left a breakthrough in the positive direction to defeat the opponent.
In this way, Othinus will still be the ultimate winner.
With a trace of regret and pity, the god who gave up more mercy pointed his weapon at the brown-haired girl who could not resist.
See you in the ‘next world’.
She reflected the figure in front of her with her only eye.
then,
then.
hiss.
Something made a small noise.
Then, as Othinus' movements began to expand.
Hiss, hiss—
“……………………………………”
This is.
This is!!
Go back even if you don't want to.
But it's too late.
Behind Othinus, the power symbolizing power shattered into points of light.
The last weapon is also lost.
"What on earth are you... no, can't you tell me!"
The One-Eyed Demon God lost his voice and muttered to himself.
Then, she received an answer she couldn't accept.
"Yes, I lost."
The brown-haired girl repeated the unfinished sentence at the beginning.
"But, you didn't win either."
"How many inconspicuous stars did you miss without noticing?"
this problem.
Othinus no longer wants to remember.
She has more troublesome problems to face.
original.
In front of the girl who lost her power, stood two figures who did not know when or how they appeared.
There is no point even asking why.
"Quasi-Demon" Orrels and "Saint" Sylvia.
Allies of Zera.
He is also the mortal enemy of Othinus.
In the past, these two people together could not cause any substantial harm to her.
But at this time, when she was extremely weak, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not become the last straw.
This time.
The only advantage has disappeared from Othinus now.
"Orelles..."
The one-eyed demon whispered the name of the troublemaker.
The latter also lost his usual good-guy smile, and the energy in his body was ready to go, but for some reason, he gave up in the end.
If he has never met someone before, he may really not be able to control himself.
"I'm not here to find you this time."
The gloomy young man stated his position with a serious face.
"Or are you planning to take on the three of us as opponents at once?"
"..."
Othinus remained silent with an ugly expression.
She is not a fool.
A weak demon god, a prosperous quasi-demon god, and a top-ranked saint.
The situation has really turned around.
Even if we try to test it, there will be no answer other than a hard-to-win outcome.
That is to say.
Although "Othinus" successfully suppressed "Astraea", it lost the best opportunity to solve this hidden danger.
It seems that we can only accept this result temporarily.
The one-eyed demon slowly scanned the entire scene, finally stopping on a certain girl and looking at her deeply.
A strange calm lasted for a while, and the land where no fighting broke out once again became a playground for wind and snow.
