”Hahahahahahahahaha! Heehee, ehehe, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!”

She couldn’t hold her excitement. The feeling of taking a life was so pleasant.

Serra laughed, remembering the sense of that repressed impulse being set free and the “Celestia Valentine” that had been formed up until then collapsing.

No, this is not the collapse of the ego. It is sublimation.

Celestia Valentine has now been reborn as a ‘killer’.

“―――― Serra?”

Behind her.

A woman’s voice reached her ear, and Serra looked back with a laugh.

Standing there, with eyes wide opened, were a one-eyed woman and a black-haired woman. Karen and Olivia.

With an expression that couldn’t believe the sight unfolding in front of her, Karen asked Serra with a trembling voice.

“Oh … Serra, what are you doing, why are you sleeping there …?”

“Aha”

Serra laughed at Karen’s question.

Sleeping? What a moron!

“Gillian’s dead. I killed her.”

“Ha…”

“Oh!? You –!!”

The reactions of the two were different.

Karen raised a puzzled voice as she couldn’t believe her ears at Serra’s words.

Olivia, on the other hand, stared at Serra with anger in her face.

―――― Come to think of it, Olivia liked Gillian, didn’t she?

Thinking that far, Serra tried to incite her.

The sword was thrust into the chest of Gillian, who has become a corpse.

“See”

“That’s enough, don’t ――.”

“Celestiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!”

Olivia was enraged at Serra’s cruel behavior.

She took two pistols out of the holster and pointed them at Serra without hesitation.

“Wait, Olivia! What are you doing? Serra is still …”

“Shut up! She killed Gillian. I can’t forgive her!! She is the only one, I—”

“Too slow.”

She was heard at a distance from the left ear.

Turning the eyes slightly, Serra was approaching by her side.

Serra’s ‘Dominion’. Karen and the others didn’t know about it in detail. From their point of view, Serra was just about to cut Olivia’s neck.

They were unable to react in any way.

Mercilessly, Serra swung down her sword.

Gusha, the sound of flesh being cut apart.

Karen pushed Olivia’s body and caught Serra’s sword with her right arm.

“…………”

“Ms. Karen!!!?”

Plop, Karen’s right arm fell off.

From there dabadaba, a large amount of blood flowed out, too late for anyone to see.

With heavy breaths, Karen called out Olivia behind her.

“Run…”

“B, but!!”

“Get out of here!”

Karen screamed back to interrupt her.

Karen pulled the cutlass from her waist with her remaining left arm.

The full-blown injuries were obvious to anyone. Still, standing in front of Serra, she raised her voice.

“Anyway, my body will heal soon… I’ll take care of Serra, so you need to get away to safety quickly.”

“But then Ms. Karen!!”

“I’m also an Undying too, for what it’s worth, and I haven’t exceeded the ‘critical point’. So I won’t die easily.”

Then, with a huff, Karen turned to Olivia.

“Go.”

“Ah! Afterwards, let’s meet without fail …!”

With regret, Olivia said goodbye and turned around in the opposite direction to Karen and started running.

After feeling Olivia’s presence gone, Karen asked Serra.

“…… Why?”

“?”

One word, Serra only tilted her head to Karen whispering.

Seeing that gesture, Karen finally realized that she was no longer the Serra they knew, and her emotions exploded.

“Why did you kill Gillian! You weren’t fighting not to do this, weren’t you?”

“…… That’s right, I was determined, wasn’t I?”

Serra, on the other hand, answered without a single change in her expression.

With pure murderous intent in her eyes.

“I made a promise to Riko. To live. That’s why I decided to live my life the way I want to.”

“But Riko is gone! There’s no point in doing this!!”

“No.”

Serra, on the other hand, only answered plainly.

Karen felt like she saw Sakura’s appearance on her face.

“Riko is no longer in this world. Then what I do is pointless, isn’t it? Riko can not blame me for going against her will anymore.”

Slightly.

With a sad expression on her face, Serra said.

“No… Riko is no longer in this world! But the world still laughs! Even if you lose the ones you loved most and cherished in the world, the world will remain the same! It’s as if Riko hadn’t been around since the beginning!!”

“……”

“That’s why I decided to kill them.”

From there.

The smile returned to Serra, who had lost her expression.

―――― There, the kind-hearted Serra from before was nowhere to be seen.

However, there was only the figure of the “killer” with a horrible, crazy smile.

“I will kill you here. I can’t believe Karen was Undying. Thanks to that, I have a reason to kill her without hesitation.”

“…… Damn it.”

Karen looked away from Serra and cursed.

Before she knew it, her right arm was regenerating.

With a sad face from the bottom of her heart, Karen pulled the cutlass out of the scabbard from her right waist, holding one in both hands, and said.

“You’ve really fallen, Serra.”

“Yes, that’s right. Let’s kill each other.”

Serra also set up her sword with a smile and turned to Karen.

They exchanged glances for a moment.

From either side, the tip of the sword was swung down and the battle began.

A meaningless lamentable battle where everyone was beyond redemption.
