Part 6

Galak, who had entered the dining hall, distorted and warped his neurotic looking face, and his eyes were bloodshot.

What he wore was still the Magicians Guilds robe but it was torn in several places and was tattered, and on his hands, blood was blotted.

Ce, Celes-sama! Celes-samaA, about last night, could you give it a second thought!? Isnt that just strange!? Why do I, who did the right thing, have to leave the Magicians Guild!?

Celes replied with a composed voice.

Thats strange! Thats just strange, isnt it!? The capable me, fired!? Thats some kind of mistake! S, since its some kind of mistakeI went and p, punished the people that tried to strip me of my robe and tried to tell them the truthBut, they, they kept on going on about the lie that I was fired

Celes frowned.

Galak shouted.

His countenance changed in a hurry.

It was obvious that the balance of his mind was breaking.

First of all, please calm down. Lets have a nice and calm talk, okay?

It was a remarkably loud voice.

Oi, Galak! Behave yourself!

Galak was at his wits end.

Galak pulled something out from around his waist.

She felt sorry thinking about the damages to the inn, but in order to return fire, Rem stretched her hand out to her own crystal.

It was an eerily black bladed dagger.

I dont know what it is butThats dangerous!

Youve got to stop!

Galak glared at his former colleagues.

He raised the dagger overhead.

You shouldnt approach himHes already no longer sane.

No longer sane!? The one thats no longer sane isnt me, its you! The ones that are strange are you people of the Magicians Guild, and this world, right!? Why is it that the correct, capable me doesnt get favorable treatment!? Why am I not highly valued!? Its strange! Strange! Strange! Its definitely, strange! Thats why!!

Unbelievably, that eyeball was moving about.

A chill ran down through her spine.

Shadow Snake! Stop Galaks movements!

A black serpent slithered across the floor.

However, Galaks action was faster than the Summoned Beast could reach him.

I absolutely need to be correct! This world, Ill!

Galak violently thrust the dagger into his own chest.

He committed suicide!?

Celes controlled her mouth, and the two escorts felt ashamed.

Get away from him!

Even from the wound on his chest, the slimy substance was gushing out.

His arms and his torso irregularly thickened, and a thick tail grew out from around his waist.

In no time at all, Galaks figure was completely transfigured.

She felt like the soul of the Demon King that was sealed within her was responding to that. Her heart was pounding.

Could it beA Demonic Being!?

Celes let out a small scream, and the two escorts that were overcome with surprise became her shield.

The lizard head that was once Galak let out muddied voice.

Ah~Ah~So its finally Gregor-samas turn. Seriously, dont just keep on blabberin on, ya damned Human!

Gregor lightly rotated his shoulders.

The Summoned Beast, Shadow Snake, that Rem released coiled around the opponents body.

Aah? What is this thing? Dont go gettin in my way!

He did that to a level 20 Summoned Beast, with his bare hands!?

She was an Adventurer! She needed to protect Celes!

Leave this place!

Rem grabbed Celes hand, and ran towards the window.

Carrying the bewildered Celes onto her shoulder, she tossed her out.

Please endure it!

Immediately, she followed after.

It tempted Galak and invaded the town with a method she never heard of that changed him into a Demonic Being.

I absolutely need to protect Celes!

It was because that didnt look like a person of a social status that would escape through a window.

Everyone, run away! Its a Demonic Being!

The wall of the inns dining hall was blown away.

From the partially destroyed inn, a lizard-headed giant came out. It was Gregor.

The voices of Celes escorts couldnt be heard.

Gregor brandished his enormous fist.

Rem threw a crystal.

Come forth, Aslau!!

Its special ability was Assault, and it had an offensive ability that rivaled that of the level 40 Warriors Swords Might. Also, it was tenacious.

Standing Celes up, she pushed her back.

I wont go unless I go together with you!

Rem needed to protect herself as much as she needed to protect Celes.

Gregor did a war cry, and pushed out his fist as if to meet the enemy.

Doosei~, Aura Punch!!

In one attack, the Summoned Beast Aslau was pulverized.

A crystal that faded to black rolled at his feet.

No way.

She became frozen from fear.

Oi oi? I told ya ta get outta my way, ya know, Shorty? Do ya wanna die first?
