However, it couldn't be Liuzi. What happened next immediately overturned his judgment.
"What kind of joke is this..."
Barefoot figures stepped on the grass and passed through the trees one after another. What appeared in front of Subaru was a group of people wearing the same clothes, with the same expression, and the same attitude - no, they all looked the same.
What appeared in front of Subaru and the others from the dense woods on all sides were more than twenty girls who looked exactly like Ryuzu.
"——"
Many girls who had the same appearance as Ryuzu remained silent. They lined up behind Garfiel without saying a word and maintaining the same expression.
It's not spectacular, but it's like having a nightmare
"If possible, I don't want you to see it."
Unlike Subaru, who looked surprised, Garfiel, who looked unhappy, was not surprised.
To him, this was no surprise at all
After being surprised, Subaru also noticed that he had heard about these girls.
"... Yuexing once told me that he met a girl outside the tomb..."
"Is it a clone? A copy...? Is there such a thing..."
Looking at such a group of girls, Subaru's mind came up with the following words:
Those are words related to SF novels, but they are not suitable for this world dominated by swords and magic. First of all, who can reproduce that kind of technology——
"——Now is not the time to think wildly, there is no time."
Garfiel pushed Subaru, who was stunned, and ran towards the forest again. Subaru and the girls looked at each other, and his hair stood on end. Even the hairs on his back stood up.
"Garfiel! The strategy you mentioned is..."
"Use numbers to break out of tight encirclement. In raid battles, I always fight head-on."
Garfiel clasped his hands in front of his chest and stated his combat strategy in a few words without hesitation. This is the best answer that leaves no room for refutation - but this is a combat strategy that is based on sacrifice.
"Don't worry about these guys, not that old woman, because these guys have no thoughts, even so they will follow my instructions - seize the opportunity to take the enemy's head."
The girls - the clones didn't say a word to the instructions, they just obeyed them
"...I want to apologize to you first."
Garfiel only left these words before pushing Subaru deeper into the battlefield.
Subaru, who had no fighting ability, was taken to the deepest part of the battlefield before he could understand the meaning of this sentence. At the front of the formation at this time was Garfiel, followed by twenty clones, and finally Subaru. After the formation stabilized.
, what you can feel is the sound of breathing and heartbeat in the terrifying silence.
——The witch appears in front of them while invading the world.
I saw with my own eyes that the forest was destroyed and swallowed up by a large area of black shadow. The trees were wiped out as if they were submerged in water. Existences like "trees" and "forests" were instantly swallowed up by "shadows"
That is a blasphemy to existence, an insult to existence, and a killing of existence.
The witch who destroyed the world in the name of love found Subaru who appeared in front of her
Then--
"--I love you"
With endless disgust and instinct that kept warning him that he was in danger, the witch's words passed through Garfiel and passed through Ryuz's group, directly expressing her love to Subaru.
At this moment, all the witch's attention was focused on Subaru
"——Gahhhhhhh!!"
——Garfiel seized the only chance to defeat the witch
Afterwards, an explosion occurred on the ground, rolling up sand and dust, and Garfiel flew out as if being bounced away.
Garfiel opened his big mouth, revealing his ferocious claws, and rushed towards the shadow. His whole body became extremely huge, his clothes were burst by the expanded flesh, his whole body was covered with golden fur, and his limbs turned into the claws of wild beasts - that
The beast that Subaru cannot forgive, the giant tiger Garfiel appears
"——!"
The tiger roared at a speed that exceeded common sense
The transformed Garfiel's movements were the same as those of a ferocious beast. I don't know what method he used to make the influence of the barrier lose its effect. Then, without any scruples or hesitation, he bared his fangs and bit into the darkness.
evening dress
"——"
——In an instant, the big tiger jumped at the witch's feet and was caught by the black shadow extending from there.
The black shadow wrapped around the big tiger's limbs, blocking the big tiger's momentum, and grabbed the ferocious beast that was moaning. The limbs, which were about as thick as Subaru's waist, were swallowed by the black shadow, making the sound of muscles being crushed, and spurting out blood and
Meat
Letting out bursts of screams, the black shadow wrapped around the ferocious and brutal body of the big tiger, ruthlessly tearing its body apart.
"--ah"
The one who stood up at this time was not Subaru who was just watching the battle, but the legions of Ryuz clones that Garfiel had called to stand by.
The girls made voices without any personal emotion and rushed towards the shadow together. Surprisingly, they easily passed over the big tiger imprisoned by the shadow and directly approached the witch.
The two girls raised their arms and rushed over as if they were trying to hug the witch. Unfortunately, the black shadow that spewed out turned into a spear, piercing the abdomen of the girls and throwing them into the air.
The big tiger with its limbs trapped, and the two identical girls with its abdomen pierced, the shadows arranged them at the same height and swayed left and right as if mocking them.
That was really a vicious interest, but it was a pity that the witch made the mistake because of her carelessness.
The harbinger of change is instantaneous - but the change brought about by this is extremely heroic.
"Na——?!"
The two Ryuses whose bodies were penetrated emitted green light and exploded instantly.
The body that was blown into powder turned into particles of light, and the shock wave dispersed the surrounding black shadows.
The chain of light exploded, restoring light to the world swallowed by darkness in an instant
As the two girls exploded, the clones rushed towards the witch and executed their own self-destruction attacks.
The special attack centered on its own existence successfully repelled the witch's shadow, so the witch also began to seriously attack the girl who rushed over.
The turbulent black shadows split and suppressed the girls who were surrounding them. The sharp black shadows targeted one person and turned into five. The nearly one hundred black shadows went crazy in an instant and ravaged the girls who could only take evasive actions.
The black shadow pierced and tore their skulls, their bodies, and their lower abdomens, killing the girls.
The moment they were knocked away, simultaneous attacks from various directions, and all the tricks the girls could use were defeated by the black shadows. In the blink of an eye, the Ryuses exploded with green light one by one - the dark short sword that summoned the witch.
period thins out, opening the way to the black dress
There - the beast, covered in wounds, tore open the gap and squeezed in.
"——-Luluaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the clone attacked, Dahu broke free from the shackles of the black shadow. After the green light exploded, the beast lying on the ground shouted to break the light, and waved its claws towards the witch.
"——"
Facing the big tiger that transformed into a storm, the witch bundled a small number of shadows into bundles to make a wall. However, the big tiger swung its paws towards the black shadow's protective wall. There was a human figure hanging on its front paws - the last clone.
The tiger's arm exploded along with the protective wall, bursting out with green light. The tiger showed its claws and stabbed at the black evening dress.
——It worked. Even Subaru was convinced it was a perfect plan.
This is a self-destruction special attack that sacrifices twenty-one clones of Ryuse.
Even if the blow fired at the expense of the Ryuses was the "Witch of Jealousy"——
"--I love you"
Subaru's belief in victory was shattered as Garfiel became bloody and bloody.
