Chapter 388 Brief Return, Demonoid and Eyeball

Using the 24-faceted orbTrapezohedron, I returned to my mansion in Pelneet.

Aaaahhhh!! Shuuya!

Nn

Guildmaster!

As soon as I stepped out of Paredess mirror, Rebecca and Eva hugged me. Veronika also joined in. I tightly squeezed them back.

Its been really a long time since I last felt the soft pressure of Evas hidden big b.o.o.bs.

Nn

Eva immediately closes her eyes, apparently wanting me to kiss her.

But you know, right nowis

At that moment, I sensed an unnatural fluctuation of magic elements. Is it coming from around Mel or Bennett? Oh well, whatever. I guess its okay for now.

Haha, youre exaggerating. Its not like we havent seen each other for many years. I pat Evas back while having my mind focused on her b.o.o.bs.

Her metallic legs are b.u.mping against mine. How nostalgic.

Ojou-sama

What a happy face she has It makes me happy as well.

Dee-san and Lily commented. While hugging my bloodkin, I faced Dee-san and bowed.

At that moment, Master!

Mamani, the captain of the Blood Beast Squad, genuflected, and imitating her,

Souther, a member of the same squad.

Fuu of the same squad was behind them.

Milord!

And with a slight delay,

Bia of the same squad as the other three shouted while shaking her thick lamia torso.

Ajul, adopting a daunting pose, opposed Bias words by shouting, My lord!

The eyeb.a.l.l.s a.s.sembled on his ring-shaped headare mysterious and interesting, no matter how often I look at them. Just what youd expect of a precious race put for sale at the Underground Auction.

I wonder how Hundred Demon Ajul would react if I showed him Adombraly? He looks like hed ask Adombraly whether he wants to become one of his many eyeb.a.l.l.s.

Lets try it out later while introducing Adombraly to everyone.

Master, just as I mentioned in my regular blood messages, weve gathered a big amount of large magic stones. Mamani stands up while talking and shows me a brand-new item box.

Her animalistic aura has clearly increased. Shes the sole tigerwoman among the Light Demon Lucival. Her whiskers are squirming right now, too.

Nice. Ill take them later on.

Then I s.h.i.+ft my eyes to Head Maid Isabella. 1 The Vice-Head Maids Anna and Krychiwa are next to her as well.

Welcome back, master.

The conduct as they greet me is top-notch. It immediately wakes the urge in me to act like a n.o.ble. Im the one who has hired them, so I must treat them politely.

When I strengthened my awareness in that direction, I separated from Eva, Rebecca, and Veronika. Feeling slightly guilty, I approached the three maids.

Im sure you had your fair share of troubles while Ive been awayYou did well to keep things running over here. Thanks. However, please consider this short period of absence as rehearsal. Our journey is actually going to start for real from now on. Thats why I leave taking care of the servants, including Mimi over there, to you three. I bow my head.

Master

Y-Yes! You are a kind master

Just having you say this is already plenty!

Isabella, Krychiwa, and Anna place their hands on their chests and answer me while deeply moved.

Good grief, no matter what you do, youre truly a handsome guy!

Huh?

Not huh! Let me hug you more! Rebecca retorts and leaps at me.

Ughh!

I didnt fall over, but shoulder tackle as Lucival packed quite the punch despite her slender body.

But, Rebecca whispers while crying, Shuuyasscent

And then she puts her arms around my waist and strengthens her embrace, pressing her face against HalKonk as if to crush its b.u.t.tons and fasteners.

Nn, me too!

Me too.

I got hugged by everyone while involuntarily rotating to the side.

Hahaha, I got it, so dont jump on me like that!

I rotated with a speed similar to that of a spintop. Because my speed kept growing, Rebecca screamed, causing everyone around us to suddenly burst into laughter.

Using that opportunity, I stopped the rotation by focusing on my legs and trunk while making sure to not let everyone fall off. Then I grabbed the edge of Rebeccas outfit the Muntomi dress with the pretty feathers and gently guided her slender body towards the ground.

T-Thanks.

Dont mind it. As usual, your collarbones are beautiful.

Sheesh, you lecher. But, thanks for the compliment

Just like that I stroke her head so as to tidy up her long, blond hair that got disheveled earlier. Once I do, Eva and Veronika glare at me with eyes full of jealousy.

Because I feel slightly awkward, I s.h.i.+ft my eyes to the maids. In response, the maids bow simultaneously just like before while smiling at me. No matter how often I see ittheir magnificent conduct is wonderful. Its a first-cla.s.s maid technique they learned at Resonantes Boarding School.

All of them are pretty. Mimi, whos behind them, too. I wonder whether shes been properly taking care of Popob.u.mu?

Now then, next are Vice-guildmaster Mel and Bennett, who are standing next to the maids. Since before theyve been emanating a distinctive, tingly aura as conspicuously outstanding beings. The soldiers behind the two are only adding to that aura. Those must be the puppet soldiers Veronika mentioned.

In addition, Im also curious about the unnatural magic elements, butfirst I focus on Mel and Bennett. The Red Moons Puppet Corps wear all the same uniforms. The color is focused around red. A mark of the moon wreckage and full moon, which had been visible during the battle at the Dignified Heavens Shrine, has been engraved on the left side of their breastplate. And they also possess a small silver badge with a chain. The full moons design is big. But, the moon wreckage looks prettier. Fine, silver dust colors a twilight world. It reminds me of stars twinkling in an aubergine-colored night sky.

It has a great fas.h.i.+on sense. But, I have my shoulder dragon and Gatrance-form, so yeah

In case I were to suddenly enter battle while wearing the new uniform, and if I expanded HalKonk at that momentthe new uniform would end up torn apart. Itd possibly be a solution if the shoulder dragon woke up and I got him to devour the new uniform, butshoulder dragon-kun doesnt seem to be inclined to wake up in such a convenient manner for me.

The Gatrance-form which comes out of a wearable, computer-type of item box is a protective clothing similar to tights, so it might be fine though.

Welcome back, guildmaster.

Welcome back, guildmaster.

Mel and Bennett greet me while being all smiles.

Yo, long time no see. I answer their greeting casually.

Thereupon Veronika moves next to the two with light, nimble movements. She faces the two with a smile while also wearing a red outfit.

Veronika, Mel, and Bennett are the leading gang of Moon of Dignified Heaven, the successor of Remains of the Moon. It really suits them, no, rather than suiting them, it looks pretty d.a.m.n cool on them. Their current outfits arent inferior to the uniforms of the Great Knights of White Nine. Those are the outfits of the strongest leaders, in name and reality, of the dark guild.

Who has designed them?

From the fact of you coming out of the mirror, it was immediately clear, but Veronika has already informed us about us Lucival having built a new base in the deeper parts of the Sea of Trees.

While listening to Mels explanation in a proud manner, Veronika whispers, Thats only natural.

She folds her arms triumphantly in front of her tiny b.r.e.a.s.t.s. But, going by the moodshe apparently hasnt told Mel and the othersabout me having had s.e.x with Quiche and Kisara many times over. It looks like she plans to ignore this matter altogether, just like Viine.

Its slightly outdated information, but we heard about several underground ruins in the Whirlpool Forest of Demonic Fog from Viine-san, and new sorcery dolls from Mysty-san. Mysty-san has mentioned that shes developing her dolls while adding all kinds of materials based on her brothers research data. But, shes has extensively complained about the matter with the heart of Demi-G.o.d Munjay.

I didnt know that.

I remember that she defeated a monster that appeared from a failed experiment, but I have heard nothing from her about Munjay.

Okay. As for the experiments with Munjays heart, its about a new sorcery doll that uses the remaining energy of Munjays heartaccording to what we know. It looks like she couldnt bring it upin front of the orcs you recently added as subordinates, guildmaster, but she has been grumbling about having run out of Totola masks and wanting the hearts of orc shamans.

I see. Thats why she has pretended to not be interested in the orcs, huh?

The stories of Yui and Kaldo, who have been going berserk on the roads of Radford Empire in the westand our reports have been properly pa.s.sed on, right? Mel asks while looking at Veronika.

Still, an orc shaman who believes in Demi-G.o.d Munjay, huh? The orcs basically believe in the Eight Great Orc G.o.ds. But, just like Quemas Totokhun clan wors.h.i.+ps Fierce G.o.d Kisarame-samaother clans might wors.h.i.+p Demi-G.o.d Munjay. Even nowadays, you might be able to find some clans wors.h.i.+ping him in the underground. It might be a nice side entertainment to search for orc shamans during our upcoming underground exploration.

Ugh, that partI reported about the

Red Moon Puppet Soldiers

I created with the skills

and

! Because guildmaster texted me, I definitely wanna see the puppet soldiers who can use whip-staffs and heavy blades! I wonder just what moves they can pull off! with so much excitement that it seemed like he was able to hear my voice through the blood message, my heart started to throb as well, I got totally wet Thats why I made a special exception and prepared my tuned gems here, hihi Veronikas cheeks become bright red while shes talking.

But, her fishy look abruptly ends, changing into a penetrative stare while she rotates sideways as if dancing. After turning her back on me, she approaches the puppet soldiers who have been lined up in the back.

Those are the bodyguards she touted about during our blood message exchange. Commonly known as Red Moons Puppet Corps. The appearance of the new, horned puppets is pretty neat, especially with the angle of their horns. The outlines of their heads and helmets are nice too. Theyve been created with a focus on a slender, inverted triangle from their cheekbones to their jaws. There are fangs visible at their coated lips, but the modesty around that part gives them a slightly womanly touch.

On top of a protruding bone breastplate, both shoulders are awesome tetragons, and their mantles are red as well. Each of them carries either a whip-staff or a heavy blade as a weapon.

Wellits not like Im a Mysty fanboi, buther new sorcery dolls are cooler. Then again, thats just a matter of my personal preferences, I suppose. Besides, the huge difference in materials also plays a big role here.

Immediately after I thought about all that, those puppets started to move with a trembling of their armor. They held their halberd-like heavy blades, which resemble my Baldok a bit, level, pointing the sharp-looking blade points my way. Its not a stance belonging to the Wind Spear Style.

On the other hand, the puppets holding whip-staffsmove their staffs as if handling a snake sword. Whip-based wires connect the bone blade pieces. A flock of bone blades extends towards the ceiling with a clattering like winding snakes. Their pointed ends seem sharp. Theyre quite flexible, so I got to take back my previous words and admit that theyre not bad at all.

With the wires connecting the staffs bone blades, the blades themselves look like the fangs of real snakes.

Theyve given me a demonstration. I feel like the former demonic marquis has twitched inside his ring, but its probably just my imagination.

Splendid. To be honest, their movements exceed my expectations. For them to move independently like sorcery dollswont Mysty suffer a heavy shock from that? I express my true opinion.

I doubt that. If Im nearby, theyre honestly quite strong, but Her expression looks like shes not that dissatisfied, but it sounds like she doesnt want to expose too much of her abilities.

I wonder whether theyll turn into useless junk the instant shes further away from them. Then again, even the previous puppet soldiers could be used as guards. Hence, they might be soldiers that can be used to imposingly fill the head count, even if Veronika isnt nearby.

They might also be a nice addition to Cydales military forces, if they can be used there. I think Ill chat her up about it later on. But before that

Are there actually martial artists from some leading school or some such inside those puppets?

Thats quite rude! Itd be one thing if they only included my techniques, but so far as it goes, Mystys sorcery doll technology and Zeetas alchemy were also included, okay? Putting it like that is demeaning towards those two. And, just like Ive also told you through the blood messaging

The whip-staff of one puppet soldier attacks Veronika.

As long as Im nearby

While talking she dodge the blades attached to the whip by crouching down.

Like this

Then she stops a blade approaching her face from the left by pinching it between her fingers. Thereupon, the ring of Adombraly reacts once more.

A stir occurs around us because of the battle scene unfolding all of a sudden.

So? You see, they can move quite freely, cant they?

Yeah, its incredible. No wonder shes already obtained

, the third gate of

.

Veronika, I got it. Did you tell him any other information? Mel looks quite refined, probably because of her decent way of speaking and as an effect of her outfit.

As I look at her with eyes full of admiration, Veronika vigorously shakes her head, T-Thats alreadypleeenty! Right, guildmaster?

Veronika turns her head my way, and sends a wink my way. She also sticks out her small, pink tongue.

Thats probably her implicit way of telling me to deceive Mel together with her.

Thats why, I cooperate with Veronika, saying, Yeah

But, Hehe, I know it anyway, guildmaster. Veronika hasnt told you anything, right?

Aww, it got exposed.

For an instant Mel directs a cold stare at Veronika, but she immediately changes it into a gentle look, and turns her face my way.

Very well, Ill bring you up to date then.

Please do.

Okay Let me start with past information Ive obtained from Dad, Demonoid Zarlp.

Ive obtained that information from Veronika, though? Is there some more to it?

Dad has been a member of

Black Prophets

.

Eh? You mean he was connected to Naromivas?

Thats a surprise.

No, its slightly different. Its just that he belonged to them in the distant past. Back then he had a conflict going with Demonoid Cueberas due to his cousins who belonged to

Sebdola Faith

, and after being defeated in a contest for the Beast n.o.ble, Dad retired from

Black Prophets

.

A conflict with Demonoid Cueberas, huh? Ive heard from Veronika that he got injured during a melee between various powers And, Four Heavenly Witch Kisara, whos recently become my comrade, mentioned that she had fought Demonoid Cueberas over

Beast n.o.ble

as well.

Eh? Ive also heard the stories about the witches who protected the desert, butI was pretty sure it was just a cla.s.sic fairy tale

Cla.s.sic?

I mean Tales of the Battle between Sorcerers and new as well as old Witches.

Come to think of it, I recall having heard about it in the past. I think its one of the books Viine obtained.

Or ratherit looks like all kinds of story lines are interweaving here

Hmm? Didnt Naromivas talk about having exported soldiers to various cities? Those underground soldiers were called quezunarl, werent they?

Speaking of the undergroundAmu and hers are also fighting the demonoid empire. Even if Underground G.o.ddess Rolka hasnt anything to do with ittheres probably still a rather big connection to all of this. The demonoid empires name also popped up in Labyrinth City SoutherDeruly which Kaldo chose as his training ground

So, whats that Beast n.o.ble anyway? I just heard from Kisara that the name is Jiardans Beast n.o.ble

Beast n.o.ble

Let me explain.

Its the masked Demonoid Zarlp who appeared alongside a blood spray. So this guy was the source for the unnatural magic elements, huh? As before, hes wearing a protective coat, and katana-like blades on back and waist. His outfit with its pattern of b.l.o.o.d.y specks is pretty, too.

Is it a coincidence that it somehow matches with the uniforms of

Moon of Dignified Heaven

?

Zarlp, huh?

Indeedit looks like youve taken care of Mel in various ways. At one point there was a time when I thought it might be better to regard you as a target, but coincidences are truly frightening.

Zarlp has the bearing of a soldier. I feel like its become even more prominent in comparison to before. But, rather than that, there must be some reason, I guess.

Mel and the others wouldnt invite him into my mansion just because hes Mels father. Moreover, Paredess mirror is a crucial item necessary for my teleports. Normally, they wouldnt bring him in front of Paredess mirror, I think.

So did they invite him here since its set in stone for him to become our ally?

I s.h.i.+ft my eyes to my

So, whats a beast n.o.ble?

Just like the philosophers stone, its considered to be one of the great treasures created by the Nine Purple Cloister of Wisdom G.o.d Illias

Circle of Truth

. But, the truth seems to actually be different.

Zarlp talks fluently in a well-reasoned way, but its all things I dont understand. I know a bit about Illias. The overcoat I favored for a long time was an item related to Illias. It was designed after Illiass Holy Burial Cloth.

But, in the end I fed it to HalKonk. He devoured it with quite the relish.

HalKonk later spat out an black l.u.s.trous embroidery of Illiass crest, though

I dont know anything about that Ninth Purple Cloister. If it comes to rings, my knowledge is limited to Arbahgudorobe Buu, one of the divine warriors, and Ajul whom I bought myself. Thus itd be a big help if you could explain things in order.

Since its not like Ive already approved of him as an ally, I glare at Zarlp.

The Circle of Truth is a group wors.h.i.+ping the G.o.d of Wisdom. They consist of nine wis.e.m.e.n who use

Mislans Tower

as their base. Because all of them from the low-ranking servants to the wis.e.m.e.n are clad in black and purple priests robes, theyre called

Nine Purple Cloister

. And the Philosophers Stone is a huge magic gem that has gathered a big amount of living sacrifices, and the mana as well as life force of countless living people. I know stories where a few ancient cities got destroyed for it. Its something referred to as a devils tool. On the other hand, Beast n.o.bles is a special summoning tool said to allow for enslaving and contracting the netherworlds military n.o.bles, just like its hinted at by its name.

Contract with military n.o.bles of the netherworld? Like Rollodeen or Rotalz? I dont know, but I feel like that might be an appropriate comparison.

I see. I know about your face-off against Crimson a.s.sas.h.i.+n of

Skull Ogre

concerning the penetration-based techniques of

. So, about

Skull Ogre

theres someone behind them who uses Fierce G.o.d Kisarames treasure. Do you know their name?

No, I dont. I think you already know, but Crimson a.s.sas.h.i.+n is strong. And most recently the people wors.h.i.+ping Demonoid Cueberas have rapidly increased because of Demonoid Naromivass disappearance. Shes also involved with the Underworld Martial Arts a.s.sociationhonestly, its just not possible.

I see Each and every of the small past storylines keeps converging into a single, big trunk.

Just as I indulge in a mysterious lingering memory, Mel speaks up, As you know, guildmaster, we killed those calling themselves leaders during the attack on

Skull Ogre

where I had Yui, Kaldo-san, Eva, and Rebecca a.s.sist us. However, since the other leaders are hiding out in Lalarbuin, it wont be that simple

Figures. Because the guy using Kisarames treasure doesnt come out in the open to fightmaybe he even watched the battle the other day from the shadows.

What kind of other essential news do you have?

After carefully investigation the information of our branch in Hekatrail, and those who changed to our side from

Rozens Commandment

,

Gate of Hidden Evil

, and White Ninethe dispute between the dark guilds in Mine City Tandarl and Gulf City Terrier have intensified thanks to the disappearance of the

Shadow Wing Brigade

. In Tandarl, it seems like

Nose of the Big Bird

is predominating at the moment, butit looks like theyre forced into unexpectedly hard fights. Probably as an outcome of that, I hear an enterprise cla.s.sified as military-industrial complex of Halphonias duke is raking in a good profit from the war between Oseberia and Zamalia.

As expected, Zamalia is still a big country, even with the death of Hyatos, huh?

Yes, according to legends pa.s.sed down in Zamalia, a demon-king-cla.s.s demon has been lurking in the back within Zamalias royal family. I think the bloodline of that demon might strongly remain in the ducal families and marquis families, too.

Somehow Mels voice sounds cheerful as she reports back to me.

Nn, Shuuya, are we going to join the eastern war?

We have our own plans as well.

No, if I feel like it, I might join together with Rollo, but you have enough blood, dont you Eva?

Nn!

Eva is an honest girl. After flas.h.i.+ng her angelic smile at me, she inclines her head, offering me her neck as if telling me to suck her.

What are you up to, Eva? I think that he should first suck my blood as Im your senpai.

Nn, thats a weak argument.

Sheesh, you two, stop fighting, okay? Of course I, as the sole person capable of manipulating blue flames, should be the very first.

Rebecca-san, if you join in as well, itll never end.

Bennett loudly clears her throat, Vero-chi, considerin how you insisted that youd report everythin yourselfyou apparently limited it to nothin but stuff you like, eh?

Bennett splendidly defuses the situation as she speaks with a friendly grin on her lips.

I mean

From now on, Ill also give guildmaster proper reports through blood messages, got it?

Mel

She winks at me. Mel has become a

Moon of Dignified Heaven

Looking at everyones faces, they seem very happy. While getting that impression, I feel the soft pressure of Evas b.o.o.bs.

Now then, you know that the reason for todays return isnt related to the dark guild, right? With that out of the way, you two, please let go. Eva, Rebecca, youre going to go visit the apple trees from now on, right?

Nn.

I wanted to sniff your scent for a bit longer

Dee-san, Lily, Mamani, and the others are all here, so endure it for now.

Oki.

I separate from the two while savoring their perfumes.

After greeting Dee-san and Lily, I say, For starters Ill take the magic stones off you, Mamani.

Okay, thenwait a momenttheyre in the item box youve entrusted us with.

The box-shaped item box possessed by Mamani was bought by them independently. Ive given them my permission to use the mansions money thats being managed by Isabella.

No, its yours. After all its an item box you bought after choosing it together.

While saying so, I accept approximately 400 large magic stones from Mamani. I put them into my bag without offering them to my item box just yet.

So, before we return to Cydale, Im going to show all of youand not just Ajulmy new contracted familiar Adombraly. Ive reported it to Evan and my other bloodkin before, but, I explain as I pour mana into the ring.

The ring reacts in the same way as before, and Adombraly manifests.

This guy seems to be of the same Amshabis race I encountered on the 20th floor a while back.

Wh-!?

Yoo! Milords friends! Im Adombraly. Nice to meetcha, nice to meetcha, piko! Currently Im looking like this, but I used to have the position of a demonic marquis in the Spirit World, who also had his clothes made by Spirit World Enchanter Arzen. So, dont get c.o.c.ky with me, okay?

The far too weird eyeball rattles down his wordsand then makes a break.

Hmm? Just now he said Arzen, and my boots have been made by Arzen too. I didnt hear anything about this.

Well, I guess its only reasonable. Ive prioritized my training, and thus havent poured my mana into the ring thus far.

Piko? An eyeball that fused with your finger?

Master, a weird magic tool got onto your hand piko.

Quite the piko, that piko. Its small piko. Is it of any use anyway piko?

Thats piko. The Piko Taro you mentioned in your blood messages

Everyone was laughing while messing around by saying piko this, piko that. Ive also reacted to the piko part, though

Maybe he should dance with everyone while wearing a tiger-patterned outfit?

The veins of Ados eyeball move faintly due to the piko stuffthat in itself is funny as well, though.

All of you liked the piko part, huh? Or rather, my contract with Ado is still fresh, you know? The skill isnt the type you immediately understand after acquisition either, so it remains unclear as of yet.

The skill

. I havent checked it in my Status either. To be honest, I dont expect much out of it since hes an eyeball anyway.

During the day Ive been taking on Muu, whos growing at an astounding rate with her spearmans.h.i.+p, just to continue with various martial arts training regimes atop the new gate. At night Ive been spending pa.s.sionate quality time with Sarah.

Higlia has been really jealous of it, though

Milord, this thing doesnt look all that strong

It looks like I could cut it down with my shadow strike

Bia and Ajul seem to share the same opinion.

Ive also grown after obtaining

. It looks like I could easily crush it soil pebble shot by Bastrals Face.

Fuu is wearing adventurer-styled clothes. Not the brigandine of the G.o.dtroll set that got scarred, but a splint mail that combines silver and black leather. On her chest she has a leatherwork accessory with an embedded magic gem. The accessory is connected to a fastener of her waist belt. Knitted strings made out of steel and leather are connected through silver chains.

Anyway, everyone seems to be puzzled by my new contract ring.

Fuhahahaha! Dont mess with me, dont mess with me, dont screw with me, YO! Im weak! But, should I show you what happens if you underestimate my abilities!? Milord!

Despite being no more than an eyeball growing out of a ring, hes getting all excited.

What kind of abilities, former demonic marquis?

Dont mess with me! Whats the deal if you dont believe in me, milord!? Very well, pour your mana into the center of my eyeball and my wings!

Okay, sure.

Just as he wishes, I give him my mana.

In response, Adombraly swells up like a balloon fish, and separates from the ring while flapping his wings.

But, thats not the end of it all.

Many feeler-like things extend from his lower half. They look like an aqueous solution with a strong stickiness. His basic spherical shape remains unchanged, butthe feelers are wriggling downwards as if causing waves. His upper body looks like an abnormal monster consisting of just an eyeball, buthis slowly floaty movements might be somewhat cute.

As I wonder where hes heading with thishe seems to be moving towards the puppet soldier army created by Veronika.

Eh?

While making the lower half of his globe transform, Adombraly charges at one puppet, obviously having determined it as his target. At the same time, he extends his feelers.

Once the tips of those feelers entwine themselves around the puppets horn, Adombraly reels those feelers back in, resulting in himself being quickly pulled towards the puppet. Then clinging himself to the horn like a leech.

Watch carefully

The instant he says so, the one-eyed orb explodes. No, hes invading the puppets helmet after separating into many red drops.

Noooo! My bodyguard! I had planned to give them to guildmaster!, screams Veronica, apparently at her wits end.

Its far too late at this point, pops up in my head as a thought.

And then, unnaturally, bordered lines appear on the puppets forehead. Those lines form the shape of an eyeball.

Suddenly, the eyeball opens its eye widely like an enlightened Buddha or s.h.i.+va. It looks like it could shoot a beam at any moment. The two eyeball-look-alikes of the eyes, which had been present to begin with, also move left and right as if having a consciousness.

I guess it means Adombraly has hijacked the puppet. Now the puppet seems just like the three-eyed demons I met on the 20th floor.

Fuhahahaha! This is the power of former Demonic Marquis Adombraly!

I-Incredible. He magnificently wields the whip-staff the puppet has been holding.

For him to possess such an abilitypossession like the bugs of Evil G.o.d Hyuriox No, it feels more like being possessed by an evil spirit, doesnt it?

Dont tell me hes Schmihazars inner eye? A parietal eye has evolved or something?

I suppose this is a part of the power of a demonic spirit armament. But either way, hes a new combat a.s.set.
