Volume 9 Chapter 5 Beast's Frenzy
'What is this, my appearance...'
Azazel was shocked by his transformed self.
Just when he thought his body had stopped moving, it began to change.
Claws grew, fangs extended, skin turned to scales, a tail sprouted, and horns appeared... he had become a complete monster.
It wasn't just him. Hinagiku and all his friends had changed too.
The hostages were in disbelief.
The clever Azazel quickly realized──perhaps because his sense of smell had sharpened, he could smell it.
'Piasolaaaaaaa───!!'
He broke through the window, heading towards the source of the chaos.
There she was, Piasola, playing with the earth gem in one hand, laughing maniacally. And beside her was the pitiful form of Elena, also transformed into a monster.
He wouldn't forgive her. He wouldn't forgive her. He wouldn't forgive her.
With innocent eyes, Piasola looked at Azazel──mocking him.
"Bye-bye~!"
'───'
Azazel's body exploded, leaving only his head to fall.
Piasola was no longer looking at Azazel.
In his fading consciousness, Azazel thought.
'───Damn it.'
All he really wanted was to live a normal... peaceful life.
He didn't understand how it had come to this─── he just didn't know anymore.
'Gaaahhh!!'
Elena, now a monster, devoured Azazel's head, chewing... Azazel was dead.

Elk faced the giant, monstrous Elena.
'Ah, Piasola... I won't forgive you. But... first, Elk, it's your turn!!'
"Senior Elena...!!"
As he deployed his blade and took a stance, Jacob jumped up behind Elena and struck her head with a bamboo sword.
"Take that!!"
The moment the sword made contact, it exploded.
Elena's head was blown off, leaving only her neck... but her head instantly regenerated.
'Get lost.'
"Ugh!?"
With a sweep of her tail, Jacob was sent flying towards the school building.
However, Elk used his telekinesis to stop him mid-air and guided him back to his side.
"Are you okay, Mister Jacob!?"
"Sorry. I want to ask why you had the earth gem, but... right now, we need to deal with this thing first!!"
The recovery teachers had already started guiding the students.
No matter how strong they became, they still couldn't handle real combat. Many students were running away or were too scared to move. The teachers were trying to encourage those students to escape.
But... not all students were like that.
"...It looks pretty tough, but can I cut it?"
"Hmph, I'll make it the rust of my sword."
"Alright!! I'm going for it!!"
"Heh, this is interesting."
"I'll eat it up."
'It's so big~'
Yato, Merry, Fine, Gambo, Soara, and Sylphid were there.
And one more... Crown Prince Elwood appeared, drawing his sword from its sheath.
"I thought I was late for class, but it seems like this is happening."
"Elwood. It's been a while."
"Yeah, Elk. Since I'm the Crown Prince... I have a job I don't want to do. I'll repay my apology for being late with this sword."
Elwood readied his sword.
Jacob shouted.
"Students, fall back!!"
"Teacher!! Leave this to us, please handle the monsters in the academy!!"
Elk yelled, overlapping Jacob's words.
Before Jacob could say anything else, he charged forward.
"There are many non-combat skill students in the commerce department. I believe the knights, mercenaries, and teachers are already moving, but if a teacher with good leadership goes, at least the teachers can act quickly!!"
"Ugh..."
"It's okay. Teacher, you know... what I've done."
He pulled his hood low and looked at Jacob with just his left eye.
Jacob knew the story of the assassin from Galatine Royal Academy, 'Scarecrow.' The tale of a single student who had defended against the Adrazione attack all alone.
Jacob gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Absolutely do not die!! That's all!!"
""""""Yes!! .""""""
Jacob trusted the students and ran away from the scene.
* * *
"Hey Elk, what the───."
Before Gambo could finish his sentence, Elk jumped out.
He used 'Terpsichora: Telekinesis Dance' to enhance his physical abilities. To find the weakness of Elena, who didn't die even after her head was crushed, he first loaded bullets into his gun, jumped up, and fired into her mouth.
'Ugh!? ...That doesn't hurt!!'
"Tch."
The bullet pierced through her mouth and shot out the back of her head... but Elena's wound healed instantly, and she breathed fire from her mouth.
Then, Elwood, who had activated 'Accel,' appeared from the side, grabbed Elk, and landed.
His pure white knight uniform and cape were the complete opposite of Elk.
"Are you okay? I want to say that, but... rushing in recklessly is dangerous. She can regenerate even after her head is destroyed. We need a plan."
"I know. Well... since everyone is here, let's do this together."
"Of course. What are you saying─── here she comes!!"
'Haaaaaaah!!'
Elena charged forward.
Her massive body was a threat just by running.
Elk used Telekinesis to rip off several long benches from the audience area in the training ground and stuck them to cover Elena's full body.
Elena stumbled and thrashed around. The benches gradually broke, and she began to regain her freedom.
"Iai Style───'Meteor Blade'!!"
Yato, who had approached, used Godspeed to cut off both of Elena's legs.
The sharpness of the new sword he obtained in Yamato was exceptional.
Then, Fine and Gambo clenched their fists and aimed for Elena's head.
""'Double Buster'!!""
They hardened their arms and combined their skills with 'Accel.'
Fine's Accel had evolved into 'Accel Grant.'
It worked well with Gambo's 'Hardening Grant,' and Fine had forcefully created their finishing move.
Their fists hit Elena's head... while it couldn't destroy her, it shook her brain.
'Ggh...'
Elena foamed at the mouth and twitched.
Elk used Telekinesis to lift Elena's body high and slammed her down to the ground at high speed.
The loud sound echoed in the training ground. Since they protected the ground with Telekinesis during the clash, the ground didn't break.
Elena, with her crushed head, twitched.
But then──Elena's head was wrapped in light and healed perfectly.
'Hehe, it's useless, useless. It hurts, but... this body seems like it won't die. I will eat Piasola, but I'll eat you all too!!'
"You monster..."
Elwood clicked his tongue.
Elena had become a Nosferatu monster.
But... Elk snorted softly.
"How ridiculous. Senior Elena... I'll end this here."
Elk raised his right hand towards Elena and activated Telekinesis.
