The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#227 - Dolls

“Oh oh, the fighting over there is quite intense as well.”

Ferris shaded his eyes with his hand, feigning a look into the distance. The towering pillar of light made him realize that there was also a fierce battle raging over there.

Just then, a monster dripped foul-smelling saliva as it pounced on him from behind. Just as it was about to bite him, a slender little leg stomped the monster underfoot.

“Ferris-sama, please pay attention to the battlefield.”

“Thank you, Furam.”

The one who came to his aid was a maid with peach-colored bangs.

A small body with superhuman strength. In terms of combat power, she is 15 times stronger than Natsuki Subaru.

“Alright, alright, be good.”

Ferris stroked the monster's forehead, and the snarling monster trembled violently before its eyes rolled back and it fainted.

The catboy's specialty.

He can temporarily paralyze enemies by disrupting the moisture in their bodies, and monsters are no exception. In fact, dozens of monsters lay quietly around them, motionless as if dead.

But regardless, these monsters are not dead yet, and Ferris focuses more on the method of fighting enemies. He doesn't want the clothes that Crusch gave him to be stained with blood.

Unlike over there.

“How scary. It's been a while since I've seen Wilhelm-jii so serious. When we get back, Crusch-sama might be worried.”

What came into view was a hellish scene.

The ground was destroyed, and a huge pit lay before him, and in the pit were many magical beasts and two ogres—the Sword Demon and the War Demon.

It was like a coliseum…

No, this is a coliseum.

Numerous monsters were fighting the two ogres. The thick, bloody stench of blood was nauseating. Their clothes were tattered, revealing their well-built upper bodies. Although they were at an age where their hair was graying, neither their mobility nor their skills had declined in the slightest.

Even though they hadn't coordinated with each other for decades, the two seemed to understand what the other was thinking, and no matter how many monsters attacked, they were all repelled.

The beast tide gradually collapsed.

“No, no way… How could it be… There were so many children, yet they were actually…”

Meili muttered in disbelief.

This time, she had brought all of her monsters, plus someone's secret assistance. She thought this mission would be easy, but she never expected to run into such tough opponents.

Wilhelm was covered in blood, and a strong killing intent emanated from the depths of his eyes. He turned to stare at Meili, as if telling her that he would kill her later. The little girl was so frightened that her legs trembled, and she couldn't help but kneel on the ground and wail.

The Sword Demon was slightly stunned.

Perhaps the little girl's cries made him realize something, and the blood-colored haze in his eyes gradually cleared.

He exchanged a glance with Grin, who was also panting beside him, and then their fists collided in mid-air.

Just like during the Beastman War.

“Hi hi hi~”

Ferris walked over with light footsteps. He clapped his hands and said, “I know it's not good to interrupt Wilhelm-jii's memories, but now is not the time for that kind of thing. There are still people who need our help.”

“Zun-sama!?”

Furam's face also changed, and she ran towards the distance in a panic. She had actually heard the explosion just now, but her excellent combat skills told her not to be distracted. Now that the battle was over, she had to rush to the other side.

The destruction was even more exaggerated than theirs.

Saying it was a mess was not enough. It should be said that it had been turned upside down, and half of the forest was destroyed, with the trees being wrecked in a chaotic manner.

“Zun-sama… Zun-sama!?”

The anxious calls did not receive a response.

Just as Furam didn't know what to do, she suddenly turned her head and saw a figure under the pile of trees.

She ran over quickly and found Zun pale all over, his eyes already closed as if he was burned out. His left hand was twisted strangely, his right hand was a mess, and a curved blade was inserted into each of his legs and shoulder blades.

“——!”

Furam's eyes went dark and she was about to faint.

…No!

She can't faint yet!

She quickly found Ferris. As the kingdom's healer with the name 'Azure', only he could heal Zun now.

Ferris came over and clicked his tongue slightly at Zun's miserable state.

He didn't expect it to be so tragic.

The battle was not easier than theirs at all.

“It's no good.” After checking, the catboy shook his head and said, “Zun needs a quiet place to heal. Now… Eh?”

At this moment, he noticed something unusual.

Zun's body was actually slowly healing itself.

Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the Bowel Hunter's cursed dolls, it was still visible to the naked eye, especially the blades inserted into his legs and shoulder blades, which were gradually emerging.

Ferris knew that this was because the body was healing, and the muscles were pushing out the foreign objects.

“——!?”

“Ferris-sama, what are you doing!”

Amidst Furam's screams, the catboy pulled out the broken blade, and blood splattered everywhere.

“Don't be nervous, this is a normal treatment method.”

Ferris looked at the wounds that were healing faster and raised his handsome eyebrows.

The reason he didn't heal him was because this kind of heavy bleeding would occur, and it wouldn't be easy to treat in the wild without preparation, but he didn't expect that pulling out the blade would actually accelerate the healing of Zun's body a lot.

It seems he also has his own secrets.

Ferris licked the corner of his lips.

Zun didn't expect that he would be targeted by the catboy.

After a simple treatment, Zun's wounds had healed, and he woke up not long after. Looking at the smiling catboy, he had never hoped so much that this guy was a girl.

“Zun-sama!”

“…I'm fine, Furam.”

Zun touched the little maid's cheek, who was extremely nervous, indicating that he was fine.

Apart from running out of magic power, being completely exhausted, and having a strong sense of weakness, his physical injuries had been healed.

The battle with Elsa could be said to be a narrow escape from death. If the Bowel Hunter hadn't been obsessed with intestines, his head might have been moved.

“This is your credit, right, Ferris? Thank you, I owe you one.”

“I accept your favor… Although I want to say that, it's actually more that your own body healed itself. I just did some simple processing. I say, your body seems to be very interesting, meow! Just consider it as a reward for my emergency treatment just now, let me study it, meow!”

“I refuse.”

The newest and most complete novels are at 69shuba first!

It's always awkward to have someone study your body, let alone a catboy.

However, according to Ferris's meaning, it seems that the injury was healed by himself. It was probably his Godly Body cheat that was activated.

Enhanced healing ability?

It's okay, I guess.

After all, enhancing the healing ability doesn't allow him to block the pain. If it were the Bowel Hunter or Darkness, those kinds of perverts would definitely like it, but he, who is afraid of pain, doesn't have that kind of癖好.

Zun looked around.

“Looks like you guys are fine too?”

“Of course! With Wilhelm-jii here, these are all small problems.”

Following Ferris's words, he saw Wilhelm-jii and Grandpa Grin walking towards them.

Their whole bodies were covered in blood. The dried blood turned from red to black, forming a blood-colored armor, and the stench it emitted was very unpleasant.

The two old men were used to it.

After Wilhelm saw him, he bowed slightly and said, “I didn't expect Zun-sama to be able to defeat the notorious Bowel Hunter alone. As expected, your strength is very powerful.”

I can't tell if he's praising or being sarcastic, but looking at his sincere appearance, it should be the former.

“I can only say that luck was on my side.”

Zun sighed slightly.

He subconsciously touched his stomach.

“Also, Wilhelm-jii doesn't need to call me -sama. I'm just staying at the Astrea family. Besides…”

Wilhelm is Reinhardt's grandfather, and in a practical sense, he is the head of the Sword Saint family, even though he doesn't care and left the Sword Saint family many years ago.

Regardless of age or status, Zun can't bear to be called -sama.

“Then I'll call you Zun.”

“You don't need to use honorifics, Wilhelm-jii.”

When they first met, Zun was scrutinized by the Sword Demon as he walked down from the dragon carriage. When he left the Count Border's mansion, he had a little bit of goodwill but a lot of alienation. Now, it's probably because they fought together that he has become a little closer.

It's not that he has to have a good relationship with Wilhelm, but after all, the other party is Reinhardt's grandfather.

“Let's talk about these things later. More than that, what should we do with her?”

Ferris looked at the little girl that Wilhelm was carrying.

The Beast Tamer, Meili.

Because of the many powerful monsters she drove, everyone was caught in a bitter battle. Now that she has become a prisoner, they don't know how to deal with her.

“Of course, kill her.”

Zun said this as a matter of course, “I'd rather leave regrets for morality than leave hidden dangers for life. If we let her go, and then she takes revenge in the name of avenging the Bowel Hunter, I can't stand it.”

“But she's not so hopeless, she can still be salvaged…”

Wilhelm hesitated a little.

The cries just now made him a little soft-hearted.

Ferris said in surprise, “When did Wilhelm-jii become so kind? Even if she's a child, she's still an enemy, not to mention that she brought us so much trouble. I agree with Zun's words. And… *sniff sniff*, um, it really is the scent of a witch.”

He smelled the scent on Meili's body and said this with some disgust. After hearing the scent of the witch, Wilhelm was slightly silent, but finally nodded.

Anything related to the witch must be eradicated.

Grandpa Grin and Furam did not express their opinions.

And when Meili heard that she was going to be killed, she cried again in fear. She kept struggling, trying to break free from Wilhelm's grip, but the small girl couldn't do it at all.

Just when he was planning to let her accompany Elsa here, a small thing fell from Meili's body.

“This is…?”

Ferris picked it up curiously.

This was a very delicate little doll, made quite vividly. One could tell who it was at a glance, indicating that the person who made it put a lot of effort into it.

“Zun, isn't this you?”

He handed the little doll over.

Sure enough, although the face was a bit chibi, whether it was the red eyes, black hair, or the cloak on the body, or even the two cherries behind the head, it was perfectly reproduced.

It was a doll in the shape of Zun.
