581 581. Hurdle to go up




 The fifteenth floor of the Nifonium Dungeon underground.
 A demon was waiting for Sakura, Alice, and Eve to descend as well.

''It looks kind of nasty.''

 When Alice saw the demon, she spoke her frank opinion.
 However, that 'strong look' contains some exciting nuances, and she even sounds like she's enjoying the situation.

 On the other hand, Eve on the other hand is not holding on to the two of them and doesn't seem too interested in the demon in front of her.

'You can't be weak in a pattern like this, can you?
You'll know it when you see it.
'Sure. Eve, can you be the advance guard?
I can't help it if it's a high-level request.

 As he said this, he said, "Oh dear - and then Eve jumped out of the way.

 I reacted and struck at the demon, who intercepted me, with my hand sword.

 Papa Papa--.

 A bursting sound like a machine gun rang out as they seemed to fire just one shot at each other.
 The strong-armed demon staggered back a step as Eve struck and lost from the first move.

''Eve! That's too strong, hold it down, hold it down.
Okay.

 Eve went into a chase stance, but Sakura's call for help stopped her in her tracks.
 As it is, she runs around the demon and keeps the attack in check.

 Meanwhile, cute looking fellow monsters such as Hone Hone and Puru Puru, which Alice had summoned, surrounded Eve and the demon.

 Sakura embodied the barbed wire she drew in her sketchbook with her Genesis and surrounded the further outside of them.

 The three of them, who had been able to gauge some of their strength from Eve and the demon's initial strike, went into stalling mode instead of defeating them.

 With the first arrangement, they would have extra time.
 We need to stall for time until that time is up--''

''Huh?''

 Sakura was the first to notice something strange.
 Next was Eve, and finally, late, Alice.

 Everyone present noticed something strange about the demon.

 The demon was moving, but its body was flickering like Christmas lights.

'Watch out, it could be an attack of some kind.
A masterstroke.
Maybe.
No. ......

 Eve quietly denied Sakura and Alice's speculation.

'Not what?'
Look at the head.
His head-- Oh, my God, he's got a broken corner!
It's true.

 A little later than Eve, Sakura and Alice noticed this as well.

 The two horns of the demon, whose body was flickering, had broken off on one side before they knew it.

''What do you mean?''
...... uncles knocked him down, I'm sure.
'What? But the timing is going to be a bit longer, okay?
You were so weak, I accidentally knocked you down. Even Eve almost knocked him down earlier, right?
"So.

 Sakura says, and Alice is convinced.

'Ah! I got my horns back.
What do you want to do?
Let's go to ...... and beat him. The second time around, there's an uncle over there and we can match him. Please, Eve.
Okay.

 Eve nodded and took on the demon again.
 Sakura and Alice stayed in the siege, waiting in case anything happened.

 Eve jumped in softly, her sword swung down.
 The demon strikes again.

 The demon's arms, when they struck each other, made the same machine gun-like bursting sound as before, and flew out from within, spreading blood and flesh all around.

 And the demon kneeling down.
 The moment the arm flew off, one of the horns - the one different from the one before - broke off.

''Come on, do it, Uncle.''

 The next moment Sakura mumbled, pakin! and the other horn also broke off.

 Two of the horns broke off and Shuu ...... and the demon disappeared.
 In the place where the demon had been, a fruit with snake-like scales had fallen.

 Sakura picks it up.

'Snake fruit, huh?'
Is it good? It.
It's delicious, like an apple. It's a little sour.
"Yeah, ...... is really sour.
That's what happens when you don't eat carrots.

 As the three girls were talking to Snake Fruit, a change in the situation occurred.

 The stairs appeared - three of them.

'This ...... is tricky,'

 Sakura raised her eyebrows and chuckled.
