Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World-Chapter 6Vol. 2 - .1 - Hill of Bliss (1)

"Yes, yes... Haah."

The situation with the abduction of Suzuki had reduced her to that state. It seemed best to leave her alone until she calmed down.

(Besides, well, you never know if that has a distracting effect on her from her grief and panic.)

Looking at the pile of origami that continues to pile up, Serphiano also worried about Suzuki. Naturally, Serphiano felt responsible for what happened to Suzuki. That's why, to hide her frustration, she had been working hard on the renovation for the demon city and was busily giving instructions to the demons.

(Uh-huh. There are a lot of issues.)

Moreover, there were other concerns as well besides Suzuki. Following Cove Town, there were reports that the humans in the village of Leaven had also been wiped out. They were humans who had been preserved and set aside for slavery and food purposes. And the same as before, the Demon Lord's army troops stationed in Leaven had disappeared.

(I knew it. There's truly a rebel element in our midst…?)

Because she was so absorbed in her thoughts, Serphiano did not notice the commotion that rose around her for a while.

"What are you doing!"

"Stop, stop!"

At the sound of the skeleton soldiers' angry voices, Serphiano finally turned her three eyes toward the double-door entry doors. There, a spider-like fiend was stopped and surrounded by skeleton soldiers.

The intruder didn't stop walking, even when they pointed spears at him and questioned its purpose. He approached Serphiano, shedding tears of purple-colored blood from the compound eyes concentrated in the center of its face.

Sensing danger, Grant stood in front of Serphiano. He was a mighty warrior ogre who was a match for a thousand and had been entrusted with the protection of Serphiano, the chief strategist of the Demon Lord's army.

"Heei! I told you to stop!"

The spider, which had been forcibly pinned down by the skeleton soldiers, soon let out a pathetic plea, "H-Help me!"

"Dame Serphiano. This is…?"

Nephira, before anyone noticed, had stopped folding bats and was standing next to Serphiano.

"It is obvious that someone or something is controlling him, isn't it? Who? Bring bindings…"

At that moment—

"Ka–kakakaka!!"

The spider's voice suddenly changed to that of a different individual.

"The Gospel! From 'Peony Bloom Revelation' — 'Radiant Declaration'!"

Everyone watched the spider, which had shouted out loud, carefully and with breathless attention. The spider looked up at the ceiling and laughed loudly again.

"My name is Zhaviest, the humble herald of the Heavenly Power! In three days! When the sun rises over the Miremia Plain! Y-Y'all, all of you… fu fu fu…"

Suddenly, the spider began to convulse. At almost the same time, Nephira shouted, "Get away from him! It's dangerous!"

—the spider's voice of "I'll murder you!!" was heard.

"Guwaaaaaaah–!?"

Suddenly, there came a blinding flash of light emitted from the spider's body, and the skeleton soldiers screamed. However, their screams cease midway through. The skeleton soldiers' skeletal bodies turned to ash in an instant.

After the light subsided, the spider and five skeleton soldiers vanished, without a trace.

"Wh-What dreadful holy power…!"

Serphiano muttered unintentionally. In response to the attack, Serphiano had already erected a barrier of darkness between the suspicious intruder and the emperor's chambers. And yet,

(This potency…! It's unbelievable...!)

"Are you alright? Nephira."
