. Like you, I am immortal.”

“!?”

Why such a young child!?

To such incredible words, I gave up thinking any more.

I could not recognize the girl in front of him as an enemy.

“I have a strong urge to take in blood. It’s a bit aggressive, but I’ll have your blood.”

“Hold on, wait-.”

The words did not follow.

Something penetrated my whole body.

Literally the whole body. Something went through everything.

My view is dyed red. I can’t hear anything. My mouth is filled with the taste of iron.

I soon knew it. I understood her ‘Dominion’ instantly.

As soon as I understood, my mental tolerance was beyond its limits. It is not comparable to the ‘Pain’ I received from Cecilia before. It’s more horrible and painful.

Soon, I lost consciousness.

※※※※

“Serraaaa —!”

As soon as Riko was blown away, what came into sight was Serra, blood squirting from her neck.

A large pool of blood is gathered at Serra’s feet, and she fell down in it.

She knew right away who did it. It is a little girl with a sword in her hand.

She licks Serra’s blood and smiles insanely.

“How dare… Serra ――――!”

It doesn’t matter if the opponent is immortal or that she is weak. A dear lover was cut. Riko ran to the young girl without hesitation.

However, the will to fight was lost soon.

“…………”

The little girl muttered something.

Immediately after, Serra’s body is skewered by bright red spears.

“What?”

Involuntarily, Riko stops walking.

And, the child loquaciously revealed the true nature of the spears.

“My ‘Dominion’ is coagulation. It is the ability to solidify the blood once licked and manipulate it freely. A little while ago, I got your blood, so I turned all your blood into spears. Heh, how is it, the feeling of being skewered by your own blood? …… Most of all, you probably can’t hear me anymore.”

“Ah!? Ough… Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuugh!”

These spears are all of Serra’s blood. Once Riko understood, she vomited.

Systemic blood. In other words, Serra is in a state of being penetrated all over her skin.

Serra, who is immortal, probably did not die even in that state and was conscious. However, even if she was conscious, could she understand her state and keep her sanity?

It seemed crazy just to imagine. Vomiting does not stop still after all the content in the stomach is thrown up, and the stomach fluid continues to come out.

“Well, now you’re unconscious so I will have your blood.”

Immediately after, all the spears that pierced Serra’s body liquefied.

Serra’s body, which was caught in the rain of blood, was dyed red.

The little girl approaches Serra whose body does not move even a twitch.

“Heh, oh, your blood. It’s so sweet. Hehehe, it’s been a while, such delicious blood.”

The girl gently strokes Serra’s neck while licking her tongue.

Then her mouth approached to suck at it.

With a dry gunshot.

There is a hole in the girl’s left shoulder.

“Don’t touch Serra!”

Riko, while holding a handgun, gives an angry yell.

Her face was blue and her body trembled all over, but she couldn’t yield even if she had to force herself.

“Ah, took great pains to find a good spot. You spoiled the fun.”

“Oh!”

When Riko saw the girl’s face, she became terrified.

It was expressionless. Nothing was reflected in the eyes.

“Celestia and I have urgent business to attend to. Do not get in my way.”

Immediately after, there was a short, whistling sound.

The next moment, the blade was approaching her eyes.

“Ah……………”

She can’t react at all. It ends here with no time to have any feelings.

So fast. A swift death, with as much care as one would give a louse while trying to omit even a little wasted time. Riko was only recognized to that extent by the child.

So.

Riko finally had a fear of death when the blade stopped just a few millimeters away.

“Ah!?”

“Tch”

The child clicked her tongue while Riko raised her voice.

She returned her sword to its sheath and looked back.

“Unfortunately, it’s time. I’ll forgive you for today.”

With that said, the girl turns her eyes only to Riko.

There was a clear and strong murderous intent in the eyes.

“Just remember this. —There’s no next.”

“Huh…………”

Riko could only breathe.

At the next moment, the little girl was nowhere to be seen.

“….Yes, Serra!?”

Riko was stunned, but immediately her wits returned to her and she ran to Serra.

Serra, dyed red with blood, had not opened her eyes yet.

“Serra, Serra! Hold on! Please, wake up!”

Serra did not regain consciousness even as she desperately shakes and calls out to her.

Serra is immortal. No matter how shredded her body is, no matter how it is blown away, it will heal.

But Riko doesn’t know how the immortality works. The flesh had regenerated, but they have neither tested or seen what would become of the lost blood.

— Serra may possibly die.

“No, no, no! Serra, please answer me!”

Serra doesn’t wake up no matter how much Riko shakes her.

Riko, her body in tears and trembling, recalls the contents of her luggage.

“Th-That’s right, smoke bullets…”

It is still far from Igladosil. But if you can see the wall, you might be able to see the signal.

Riko put the smoke bullets into the gun with her trembling hands and fired at the sky.

Red smoke immediately blows up into the sky.

“Please. Somehow, please help Serra…”

Riko is not especially religious. However, this time she had to pray.

Believing that someone would come to the rescue, Riko kept calling out to Serra.
