Cutting down. How long had it been since he had continued to slaughter the only thing standing in his way in front of him?


　Claire was bathed in fresh blood, but did not stop. Already the coagulated blood covered her body. She shook it off and moved forward.



''Hahahahaha!　f*ck you!　You're dead!　Haha!



　As a demoness, she had demonstrated her abilities without regret. No, the term "demoness" is not correct. She is an individual with human elements mixed in. It's been several decades since she came to her home country, where demons live. A country with demons is not as numerous as the human race. Although their lifespan is long, their reproductive capacity is not that high, plus a good number of them have died in the last hundred years of war. Unlike the other demons, they are proud of their extraordinary fighting abilities, but even so, there are times when they are no match for the other demons.


　It's truly a back-and-forth battle. While the human race has created a ward city and is inside it, battles between demons have been going on in the twilight world.


''........Huh, it's over. Shame........


　He licks off the blood on his cheeks with a periwinkle. Currently, they are in the middle of fighting the sub-humans. Claire was fighting in a formation, but only one person was too far ahead of her and she was completely isolated and continued to fight on the front lines. However, she was able to annihilate the enemy all by herself. Her ability is already one of the best among the demons. Even so, there is still a superior one. Claire would learn that in the future....



''Claire, you're getting too far ahead of yourself.''
Well, they're all late!
''Don't underestimate the other demons. That's why so many demons have been killed before now.
For this little fish?


　As she says this, Claire plunges her sword into the corpse and guts it out. Seeing it dripping with a flop, she laughs with a grin.

　The one who came to the spot was a demon named Clyde. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. However, even though he takes care of them, the only thing that can be given to him is.......combat skills. The only thing I can give him is how to kill an opponent. Ever since I can remember, Claire has held a sword in her hand. And she continued to kill demons. No, it's not just demons, even sub-humans have been put on his hands.


　She could no longer remember the number of times she had been begging for her life. She ignored all of them and continued to lay waste to them. The law of the weak and the strong. That is the law of this twilight. I know that. The more I hate it, the more I imprint it on its heart.


　Furthermore, Claire knew it, even though she expresses that pleasure with her entire body every time she fights. I am not yet the strongest in this world. Even though I'm in the upper echelon of demons, I'm not the top. While chewing on that fact, she repeated the carnage today.


'Even though they are small fry, they overwhelmingly surpass the demons in terms of quantity. You've seen your comrades who have been beaten by their sheer numbers, haven't you?
That's just because they were small fry, right?
Well you could say that, but just in case.
Okay.


　Claire listens to Clyde quietly, but of course there is a reason for that. The reason being that Claire has never defeated Clyde before. Even if he seriously challenged her, he was easily brushed aside. Even with her age included, and considering her experience, Claire is certainly strong. Still, that doesn't matter to her. She's not concerned with being strong for her age, but with her strength in this current world. Age is only a trivial matter.


　Because of this, Claire only listens to what Clyde says a lot. But it is only listening, not knowing. These questions and answers have already been repeated. The first time Claire went to the battlefield was when she was seven years old. At that time, her abilities as a demon had already awakened, and she went to the battlefield at the decision of the higher ups. Unlike humans, even his friends do not show mercy.


　If they can't use it, they will just die. That's all.


　A number of demons also thought that Claire would soon lose her life...or so it seemed. But instead of surviving, she had achieved the greatest battle result on that battlefield. While the other demons were dying, the little girl was a lioness. Since then, she has grown up remarkably, and is now in a reasonable post among the demons. She's not just a mere miscellaneous soldier, but a member of the cadre, and although she's currently active, all she does is kill them all.


　That was her only reason for living.



'Well. What's next, Clyde?
"...well, what should we do? We could head north, but the battle situation here is not that good. We could retreat here, but....
What a bore!
We can't let your emotions dictate your progress in the battlefield.
I know, but... it's still possible, right?
Well that's one thing.
What about the guys in the back?
We're currently engaged with another demon race. If we're going to continue on from here, it'll be the two of us.
Hmm. That's easy, huh?
Don't let your guard down.
Whoa!


　Then Claire smiles and walks on, smiling. She doesn't even wipe the dripping blood off her face as she proceeds.


''Even so, it's a big place, isn't it?''
It's a bit late for that.
'But I always wondered why there was a twilight in this underground space. I wonder how it is that there is a twilight in this underground space.
We'll see what happens with Twilight when it's all over.
Okay.


　Yes. The two of them are now in a huge underground space. The unification war of the demon tribe isn't being waged above ground. Rather, this huge underground space is the habitat of the demon tribe. The ones on the ground are nothing more than a bunch of intellectually inept people. Even the demons that humans suffer from are nothing more than small fry. Compared to this place.


　At the moment, it's like the twilight danger zone level 10 over.


　But it would be a long time before humanity would advance to this place....
