Volume 9 Chapter 33 The Princess And The Temple Knight
With a *Boom*, the white whip swished and knocked down the bookshelves with a deafening noise.
Hundreds of books scattered white pages like blood, dancing through the air.
While cruelly tearing apart the fruits of knowledge, the whip continued to rampage without losing momentum.
What's astonishing is that the seemingly disorderly attacks are all refined sword flashes.
The whip is not just one.
Initially, she recognized seven. Just as she noticed, additional whips were swung to exploit gaps in consciousness.
However, the fact that the attacks continued meant that the target was still alive.
"I demand to talk."
The man, obscured by the whip's attack, was wearing white clothes.
Well, whether he's really a man or not is unclear.
After all, he wore a white hood and loose clothing that concealed his figure.
The voice, undistinguishable in gender, is flat like a mechanical voice.
This guy is a corner of the strongest demon (mazoku), the Lord of 'Seratie (Everchanging)'.
In response are the four heroes, Eris Philin Centraris.
She was transported to this massive study and, upon recognizing Seratie, immediately launched into an attack without hesitation.
"A conversation, huh... I don't mind. But you don't need to be unharmed. I'll listen to you after I've broken your arms and legs."
"Denied. I have a role to play as well."
"I never thought a proud demon (mazoku) would join forces with a human from another world."
"..."
Seratie nonchalantly began to walk towards Eris.
A storm of attacks rained down on her as if it were only natural.
However, none of them landed.
It's no longer a matter of avoiding them. Eris herself seems unnaturally adept at deliberately evading the attacks.
Seratie stood before Eris.
"My role remains unchanged. The same as it was then."
"...I see. So, Lord has become a Grimoire, hasn't he?"
"Response. Position and role are not identical."
Seratie did not deny Eris's words.
In other words, he is undoubtedly a member of the New World (Try Order).
Finn, the human representative of Asteris, and Seratie, the Lord.
Both who should not coexist naturally within the 'Try Order' exist.
What kind of remarkable person is the one who brings them together?
"I'll ask then, what is your role? If you want to have tea time, I refuse."
"I am a recorder. I am the one who documents the history he seeks."
"Is he the one? The master of 'Try Order'?"
"Yes and no."
Seratie said succinctly.
At that moment, Eris narrowed her eyes.
It's half right and half wrong. Seratie said that his role hasn't changed.
In other words, what they are doing in Asteris and on Earth is the same.
It's unclear what is right and what is wrong.
"...No way."
A slight possibility flashed through Eris's mind, and she shuddered.
If there is some connection between the master of 'Try Order' and Seratie in Asteris...
"Julius Roderest..."
If that strongest monster, unparalleled in the past and present, is involved...
——Yuusuke's condition is dangerous.
Eris held the rapier sharply.
"The situation has changed. It seems quicker to speak to the master beyond that door than to speak to you."
Eris had noticed the presence of the door since she entered the study.
A quiet door, nestled among the books. That is the path forward.
"Unauthorized. Roles and positions are not equivalent. My position is judgment. Whether to proceed or not."
"The wording is annoying. Basically, if I defeat you, it will open, right?"
"Yes."
It seems that Eris will fight not as Seratie, but in the position of the Grimoire. It would be better to say so from the beginning, rather than using roundabout words.
While shelving her own actions of trying to crush without listening in favor of Hana Re, Eris activated magic.
The forest of white thorns spreads, swallowing the study.
The flash of a sharp spear emerged from the white forest and was aimed at Seratie.
"――"
Seratie stepped back to avoid it. Just a moment ago, it seemed like the attacks were being evaded.
"Guardian, Irial."
"Yes. I'm better at support."
Eris wasn't the only one transported to this room. Concealed by Eris's magic at the same time of teleportation was Yunea's guardian, Irial.
――Avoiding it means the essence of magic hasn't changed since he was in Asteris.
Eris analyzed calmly.
Seratie is a relatively easy opponent even among the grimoires.
Because she know his tactics.
His not an enigmatic magician raised with Earth's common sense.
It's an opponent Eris is good at.
"Let's finish this quickly."
"Agreed. The judgment has already begun."
At that moment, when Seratie said so, the ceiling collapsed.
"!"
But now, it's different.
What she thought was the ceiling turned into a gray waterfall and fell.
Eris repelled it with the force of a tsunami using her white lily.
"This magic is——"
"It's been a while, Centraris's Thorn Princess."
When did he appear? That man was looking at her from the back of the study.
Despite being the guardian of the human race, he betrayed Yuusuke and the others.
General of the Sarnold Empire, 'White Sign' Vice Ornette.
——Did he come here?
Eris put a little bit of the fallen ash on her hand and smiled.
"To call yourself the 'White Sign,' your white is dull."
"Vice Ornette coming."
The ash and thorns collided, swallowing the entire bookshelf.
