“……No, I’m going to repeat myself again, but that logic of yours is wrong, Xenovia…… Let’s have a meeting once we go back home……sigh.”
……I can only sympathise with Kiba who is the same [Knight] of the Gremory as her……
Irina apologies to Kiba on behalf of Xenovia. “I’m sorry, Kiba-kun. Xenovia has been like this for a long time. If we lack in numbers, she’ll come forward to fill in the hole, but she’ll suddenly leave the spot if she knows we have enough people.”
Kiba nods as if he understands now. “Yeah, I initially thought she was a calm person, but as the days go by, I've started to stop thinking of her as such a person……”
Xenovia makes an unpleasant face while signs of rage pop up on her forehead. “You guys are so rude! Despite my actions, I’m using my head every day!”
That sure isn’t convincing! It might have worked if she said it when we first met her, but right now it doesn’t even sound plausible! Rias says while putting her hand on her forehead. “……Well then, what should we do about this situation we are in? Maybe it’s wise to have everyone here take them on.”
—Then two people take a step forward. “…………This won’t be a problem.”
《Well, it means that we have to take them on then.》
It’s Rugal-san and Bennia! “Bennia! Rugal-san! Won’t this be a bit difficult if it’s only the two of you?”
I have such worries—but Bennia materialises a scythe which is larger than her height within her hand from a different dimension. 《There wouldn’t be any point for you to bring us here if we don’t do our job after all~》
She says that while her tone doesn’t sound too serious—and the small Grim Reaper girl leaps forward! Rather than running towards them, she slides towards the group of Vampires! That’s a special trait of a Grim Reaper where she fights while leaving behind her shadows due to the incredible speed. 《Here’s the Grim Reaper girl coming through.》
While talking in a light manner, she creates many duplicates of herself and starts to play around with the soldiers! Even they can’t aim their swords at the opponent they are facing! Even if they swing their swords, they simply cut her duplicate; therefore they can’t even harm her at all. Kiba sighs due to the amazement from seeing Bennia’s movements. “……You can grasp hold of her shadow with your eyes, but it’s something created due to her incredible speed. It’s a movement where you can’t catch her that easily even if you were to try.”
So it means it’s the same characteristic as Kiba when he leaves behind his shadow due to his incredible speed. You can follow her with your eyes. —But it’s something where you won’t be able to hit her directly since she can create a blind spot by making the shadow disappear. In other words, she can do the same trick as Kiba. ......Is Kiba amazing for being able to make a movement similar to a Grim Reaper or is Bennia amazing for having a similar speed as Kiba who is a strong fighter? Though I can also come up with the conclusion that they are both amazing……
《You’ll die……anyone who sees my scythe will all die.》
Bennia slashes the soldiers with her scythe. However, there’s no sign of the soldiers being inflicted with wounds. But the ones slashed by Bennia’s scythe collapse without exception. The soldiers stop moving as if they had their souls taken away. Sensei says. “It’s that death-scythe. Those slashed by that scythe don’t take any external wounds, but instead get their souls slashed. The amount of damage inflicted to your soul will be determined by the person’s strength…… Being able to take down the Vampire soldiers that have been enhanced by the Holy Grail with a single slash shows that Bennia’s potential is something to be reckoned with.”
We also had ourselves attacked with that scythe. Yeah, it was during the time we were assaulted by the Hero-faction in the Underworld. We fought a group of Grim Reapers dispatched by Hades. “She has at least a strength that is beyond a Mid-class Devil. She does have better movements than those Grim Reapers we fought after the test.”
That is my honest opinion. Her movements are clearly quicker than those middle-level Grim Reapers we fought back then, and her slashes are also sharp. Nothing more to be expected from the daughter of a famous Grim Reaper in the realm of the dead. Kiba is deeply moved. “Her speed is also enhanced even further due to being a [Knight]. It’s a good compatibility with her nature. Xenovia, make sure you take a good look at her, okay?”
“……Is that sarcasm?”
Xenovia has her eyes half-shut. No, Xenovia’s movements are also fast. But in terms of speed, Bennia is above her. Though it’s a complete victory for Xenovia in terms of power. While the Grim Reaper girl is slashing down her opponents, Rugal-san takes off his coat and drops it on the floor. You can easily see his well-trained body even from above his shirt. “…………Here I come.”
After muttering that out, various parts of his body twitch and begin to grow bigger! His shirt can’t withstand the change of his body that is getting buffer so it starts to tear up while making sounds. There are sharp fangs growing out from Rugal-san’s mouth and a beast-like mouth is sticking out! His nails grow sharp and ash-coloured fur grew from his whole body! Oooooooooooooooooooooooo……! The howl of a beast that echoes throughout the basement—. It’s a howl that sounds just like a wolf! Even his shape has a form of a humanoid wolf! Yes, what appears in front of our eyes is—an ash furred beast-man that morphed from a human! So Rugal-san is a Werewolf!? Rugal-san who has just morphed starts to bend his neck. [I’ll have myself fight as someone from the Sitri as well.] There is panic within the Vampire soldiers after seeing Rugal-san who is making a stance against them! “A Werewolf! ?”
“Ku! So there was a Werewolf that reincarnated into a Devil!”
I can’t help but witness their gaze that carries their shock and hatred. Rias then explains it to me who is confused. “Since Vampires and Werewolves have been at war since ancient times, they both consider each other as their greatest enemies.”
I see. So the reason why the Vampires from the Carmilla-faction weren’t optimistic with Rugal-san back at the Carmilla’s territory is because they knew he was a Werewolf. [I am quite used to battling Vampires. So I won’t hold back.] Saying that, Rugal-san rushes forward and starts to tear up the soldiers as if they were simply paper! I heard this before, but Werewolves are ranked in the top-classes among the beast-men. “Damn you!”
Even though the soldiers attack him with swords and spears—maybe it’s due to him being tough from the beginning or maybe it’s because of the trait as a [Rook] that has increased his toughness, but they can’t even make a single scratch on him. Instead their blades shatter. 《Brother Rugal is no ordinary Werewolf.》
Bennia says that while attacking. Then marks appear on both of Rugal-san’s arms! It’s a mark that is identical to those magical equations.
