Asuka of the Scarlet Sky

When the blade reaches (2)

They rode the horse for half a day. Though they departed at dawn, the sun had sunk down already.

This is the last village attacked?

While moving his hand to Ristys waist, Yuuto looked around the area.

Its a farm village. It had that sort of atmosphere, Yuuto remembered a strange sense.

(Theres no sign of people)

Remains of the people who lived in the other day are left everywhere in the village. However, theres no existence of any crucial villager anywhere.

Theres a possibility of them secluding in a house, looked at the window of the open private house.

I know it already but, theyre wiped out. Theres no trace of blood nor mess from eating. Get down, Yuuto. Asuka too

Looking at the state of Risutei village, she spoke indifferently. Yuuto and the tandem noticed the change of tone, Yuuto and Asuka kept silent.

Theres no monster. Is it a demon?1or a demonic being2? Either way, its intelligent

Risty steps cautiously on the village ground. Without delay, she tiptoes as if warming up.

Yuuto. You too, apply that properly

I know

Asuka stares at the necklace on the neck of Yuuto. Asuka confirms the existence on the tip of her chest then she pulled out her Scarlet sword from the sheath.

Demonic being? Since its a bloodsucker

Thats true

Asuka and Yuuto recalled the fight with the beautiful count several months ago. Certainly he introduced himself as a noble in the Makai.

That guy was strong, but how is it this time

Its okay. Theres captain too

Risty began to investigate the village, Yuuto and Asuka followed her. Different from Risty walking naturally, the two had their hearts beating hard. The tension is different so far.

It drifted.

Asuka remembers the fight with the vampire and fixed her feelings. Able to control his own blood, a powerful enemy who uses a blade. Though it was knocked in one blow, it was only possible because Asukas defense was perfect. Without Yuutos armor, shell never be able to win.

A rank. Confirming the strength of the opponent she defeated, Asuka inhaled deeply. She never expected that she would be thankful to that masked count, Asuka laughed a little.

The three people who faced it before, were useless as expected?

Watching as she throw out the farming tool, Yuuto asked Risty. Risty said that the tables were turned, but thats a guess when the communication was stopped. Theres a possibility that theyre alive, thats uncertain.

Yuuto had a faint hope, Risty slightly frowned.

Well, theyre probably wiped out. Theres also the possibility of it being draw. Thinking of that three man cell team, its better to give up your hope

Risty said that its better not to think that theyre safe. However, Risty calmly anlyzed the situation, so Yuuto shut his mouth. Asuka closed her eyes to pray for a moment.

N? Dont. Be careful

The moment Asuka gripped her scarlet sword tightly, Risty in front of her muttered. The startled Asuka looked up, Yuuto opened and shut his right hand.

Yuuto expanded his 16 floating war maidens Rossweisseat that moment. In an instant, Yuuto had the blades.

!?

Asuka reacted in surprise. Each and every blade appeared on the opponents with incomprehensive speed.

But, Asuka had seen it.

Its the three figures dressed as a hero.

Wha!?

Why? Asukas body hardened when shes about to shout. Theres no time to think, Asuka closed her fighting spirit momentarily.

Idiot!

A word. Ristys words reached Asukas ears. At the same time, the three heroes neck and limbs burst out and flew to Asuka.

Asuka and Yuutos eyes chased the flying arm and neck.

*Dochari*3, The threes bodies fell on the ground. Still, the body swing while clattering.

The two with blue mantle, and the girl wearing a red muffler. The head only girl opened her eyes wide and approached Asuka little by little.

Her spine froze in disgust, Asuka bowed to Risty.

T-thank you very mu

Dont thank. The user must be near. Necromancer. No, Marionette. Its the type that operates by a thread using magic

While drawing Asukas attention, Risty traced air with her sword. A thread was cut off literally, the body clattering and moving up until now has stopped.

Uu

Yuuto held his mouth as he saw the body of the three. Its natural, it was his first time seeing a persons neck fly. Looking at the eye of the girl, Yuuto managed to hold down his nausea.

Seeing something unbelievable, Yuuto looked at Risty. Even though theyre manipulated, Even though theyre already dead, how can she be so calm?

Kuku. I see. Hes the kind that mocks the dead. Very well. I dont have to become attached

Then, Yuuto breathed small. Ristys face from the side is a never before seen ferocious distortion. It was different when she fought with him, it was real muder intent, Yuuto and Asukas body shook.

Here it comes. The main body

Then, Risty grinned and looked at the top. Both Yuuto and Asuka turned their face to the sky immediately.

Hii

Asuka was the one who raised the small scream Yuuto wasnt even able to raise a scream.

Kumo4Yuuto made that sort of impression from the silhouette.

How did she hide herself5Suddenly, the three people jumped to the spider in the sky, its like they enshrine it in the sky while looking down.

The invisible thread was set up above the village. Its the perpetrator who set it up.

However, theres no reason for Asukas scream.

As expected. Its a good hobby

Risty chewed her molar. She laughs on her face but her pupils selfishly deflate.

The corpse was casually stitched together. The distorted silhouette of the spider is in front of Yuutos eyes.

A man, a woman. Elderly, children. Everyone of them are bare nude, that body is a strange body, it became a part of its leg.

A hundred people? More than that? Seeing that large number of people, Asuka stopped unconsciously

Kakeba Kakeba Kakeba Kakeba Kakeba!!6

A cry. Its played on the gap of air on the corpses, they cry utmost.

Then, an invisible thread gushed out from the head of the spider.

That numbers 10,000.7If you look at it, its no longer a string, its already a torrent of thread.

Does it absorb life, it stopped its movement and manipulates it A simple, strong ability.

Its body enclosed to the corpse, Nekyuara had a twisted enjoying face.

She obtained it with troubles, its a rare corpse item. Because its made of compensated materials, it rolled in front of their eyes.

Where will you stitch that brown skin?

While thinking that, the nekyuara had already jumped in the air.

Ha?

A double edged blade pierced its body. The nekyuaras brain recognized it earlier, with the work of its own disjointed body, the brown woman thats supposed to be on the ground disappeared.

Sleep peacefully at least

Risty muttered, the nekyuara wasnt able to turn around.

However, theres no time to consider the meaning of her words, the heads and limbs of the lone demonic being 72 pillar ArtistNekyuara flew up to the sky of the village.
