Volume 10 Chapter 24 Split Body
That scene was quite horrific.
One by one, crystal swords pierced Don Fen. Gleipnir could no longer protect Don Fen, and the crystal swords continued to stab through him, exploding as they went.
Thus, the second Don Fen was crushed to death by the crystal swords. Now, he looked like a strange round object with the handles of the crystal swords pointing outward, like a hedgehog.
Round 2, victory.
I'm satisfied with this victory, as I returned the greatsword Durandal to my hand and slung it over my shoulder.
Then I looked at the crushed crystal sword ball and said with a grim face.
"...Still, what is that..."
"You made it, you crazy man."
When I turned around, the revived Don Fen was coming towards us again. But unlike Eik's time, he didn’t seem to have lost his fighting spirit.
"You’re still full of energy, huh? You’ve got some guts."
"Hah, I know you’re human. Humans can’t revive. So, as long as you’re alive, you’ll eventually run out of energy. When that happens, I’ll win."
"You’re quite stubborn. But fine. I was just getting pumped up."
Still, I felt a bit unsure about what to do.
Domain Control was broken. I had already seen the bottom of Don Fen. All that was left was to break his spirit.
However, I began to think that breaking his spirit wouldn’t be easy. Don Fen, who was already strong, had realized I was human.
What to do? I think.
They say strong demons can take a long time to revive, but that doesn’t apply to Don Fen. His revival is instant, just like Eik’s.
At that moment, something appeared behind Don Fen.
"...?"
It was Renril. A demon with very weak power, close to the lowest level, and not someone who could possibly join our fight.
However, Renril stared intently at Don Fen. Then, he glanced at me for a moment and quietly made a gesture.
"...Huh? What are you being quiet for? If you’re not going to do anything, then I’ll just――."
Don Fen was completely focused on me. He had no idea that someone was sneaking up behind him.
So Renril's approach was surprisingly successful.
"Time to eat!"
Renril bit into the back of Don Fen's neck.
"————!? What, you bastard!"
I had called Don Fen soft. But that was just my judgment. His fur was tough, and even a sword wouldn’t leave a scratch on him.
Yet, Renril's teeth seemed to go through Don Fen's neck with an unusual ease.
A huge amount of blood gushed from Don Fen's neck. He flailed around as if he was unable to shake off Renril, almost like he was doing it on purpose.
And Renril tore off some of Don Fen’s flesh.
"Gahh, aaaaahhh!"
Don Fen screamed. Renril bit down further.
Renril, who was supposed to be the weakest, was easily ripping apart the flesh of Don Fen, who was among the strongest, like a wolf feasting on a goat.
"Stop! Stop it! You think you can eat me and absorb me!? But listen! I’m special! If you think you can just eat me――."
Don Fen looked at Renril while resisting. But the moment he saw Renril's face, he stopped breathing. "You," he whispered, almost choking.
"You, could it be, my..."
"Shut up. Just be quiet and get eaten."
Renril tore into Don Fen's throat. Don Fen coughed up blood and then lost his ability to speak.
That strange meal continued calmly. Don Fen lost his will to resist halfway through, and Renril eagerly devoured Don Fen's body.
Renril's appetite was abnormal.
Even though he usually ate only a moderate amount, it was hard to tell where Don Fen's body was going; it quickly disappeared into Renril.
In the end, Renril licked the blood from his mouth and finished eating Don Fen's body. "Phew," he sighed and looked at me.
"Wow, he was quite tough. I ate him without asking, but are you okay with that?"
"Uh, ah, yeah. That's fine, but..."
The words about what just happened didn't come out of my mouth. It felt too awkward to ask, as Renril stood in front of me with his usual attitude.
Renril opened and closed his hand, murmuring.
"Gleipnir."
With a whoosh, the cord Don Fen had used wrapped around Renril's palm. Renril seemed pleased and chuckled, "Oh, this is handy."
Then, Renril turned to me.
"Well, it was my first time eat and dance, but it wasn't bad. Seeing that overly relaxed back made me really hungry."
In a good mood, Renril walked up to me. Then, showing off his longer canine teeth, he smiled.
"With this, the Ede Wolf is defeated. Success, right, Master? Did I help?"
