Chapter 238

Unable to think straight, Onza found a noble student with a Silver Church member near the deserted research building.

“Hey, what are you doing there?”

Nia and Tina would have immediately destroyed them if they were potentially harmful to Yurushia, but Onza called out to them.

And he didn’t even need time to think about it to realize it was a mistake.

[All for Ester-sama!]

Completely mesmerized, the Silver Church humans tossed the magic circle, dug into the metal plate they were holding in their hands.

Booom!!!

“Whoa!?”

Onza hurriedly avoids the flames that shoot up from the metal plate, as if they were planning to commit an act of terrorism. If it was just a magic flame, it would not do much damage to Onza, who was a high-ranking demon, but his opponent was that Silver Church. If the power of an intermediate level spirit or higher was used, the demon would also be damaged.

Additionally, if soundless bombs were planted here and there in the academy, the human side of Yurushia’s environment would be destroyed.

“You guys, for goodness’ sake!”

Onza used his power of anticipation to accurately avoid the enemy’s attacks, while beating up and neutralizing the Silver Church’s people. Some of them had their limbs bent into strange shapes, but it was better if they were still alive.

“…ah, ahhhh…”

Only one student was slumped.

“Hey, you, tell me what they were doing.”

“I am a member of Viscount Hindel’s family, you squires are being rude!”

Onza heard the name and remembered that it was one of the noble families connected to the Silver Church.

“Huh? What are you talking about? Do you think you have no responsibility for this kind of behavior in the academy?”

“Ugh, shut up! You are the one who thinks it’s okay to do this. I will make peace with Silver Church and bring peace to the world.”

“Hey, hey?”

Suddenly, the boy started to roar like a broken gramophone, and his complaining expression froze as his head snapped to the side, and he screams in a strange, upside-down manner.

“Heiiiyyyaaaaaaahh ∬∂āěゞ〃∞∬ー々ヽ⊿ゞゝé∞∬āヾゞ〃〃♭éāě∮¬⊥⌅āě∞∬∂!!!”

“…geez!”

The student’s body swelled up in front of Onza, who jumped down in a panic, and turned into a frog-like figure, with his entire body covered with thickly growing scales.

“…Chimera, huh?”

Onza had no way of knowing that this was the moment Ester [ordered] in front of Yurushia, but even if he had known, it would not change the threat before him.

A human-mediated Chimera of demons and spirits; unlike the first time, it lacked the special black armor and did not have the heinous magical and physical resistance, but it was still a burden for Onza, a senior demon.

“…Kuh.”

That strange voice seemed to be a mental attack, and his vision wavered every time he heard it.

If that was all, the Chimera had retained its human form only in its face. Seeing his face contorted as if he was asking for help, Onza couldn’t help but frown.

Onza felt anger toward the human who had created such a monster, but at the same time, he also felt pity for its existence.

[ゝé∞∬āヾゞ〃〃♭éāě∮¬⊥⌅āě∞∬∂āěゞ〃∞∬ー々ヽ⊿ゞ!!]

“Damn!”

Onza also had no choice but to fight back.

Anticipating the battle against Chimeras, the demons around Yurushia were provided with special armaments in case something went wrong.

Onza selected a pair of knuckles made of true iron. He chose to use knuckles made of true iron, partly because he was not excellent with conventional weapons, but also because he did not want to intimidate the other followers with a weapon, even if they were enemies.
