153-Insect





"Don't let the bugs get the better of you!

 Roze tore at the approaching insect with his sharp claws.
 He was momentarily puzzled as to what special effect he might have, but the attack ended with a spray of green liquid.

 I don't think he has as much ability as Faith, but it was also a pretty risky bet.
 This is the first time I've seen a type like Aranea, so I guess I'm going to have to wing it.

...... Poor thing. You've just been born.

 Aranea mumbles while spreading the legs of the flying insect.

 This is probably because Aranea herself is a bug.
 There was no sign of anger, but that made it all the more eerie.

"Don't be silly! You'd better tell me where Richt-san is right now for your own good!

"That's impossible. The ability to reanimate the dead is an ability that the Demon Lord has been seeking for a long time.

 He didn't listen to Roze's words.
 Aranea approaches Rosé with the insects.

 I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

It's a good idea not to suck my blood, if you don't mind me saying.

"...... Tsk.

 Rosé stopped in her tracks as she tried to move forward, having guessed what she was going to do.
 Perhaps Aranea is right in what she says.

 Unlike humans and other animals, the blood of insects is incompatible with each other.
 If you're unlucky, you're the one who gets damaged.

 I don't know, because I have never tried it, but it may be impossible to even make them your family.

I've never lost a fight against a vampire. I've never lost a fight against a vampire. I've hunted them all down because they're so delicious, but I'm lucky to have found another one.

"......! I'll make you regret it.

 Vampires and Alanaea.
 It's rare to see a fight this bad.

 The vampires that have fought in the past seem to have struggled with the insects that are immune to bloodsucking.
 Aranea's relaxed demeanor suggests that she has killed many vampires in the past.

 The humans had their own vampire hunters, but they were orders of magnitude different from those.

 There is no limit to the efforts of non-predator humans.
 They were not even close to the Aranea, who were born to feed on vampires.

"Bats!

 Roze turned the earrings and necklace on her body into bats.
 Even if they can't suck blood, they can at least interfere with the insects.

 A one-on-one match with Aranea.
 It's still a bad situation, but it's the best we can do at this point.

 With the bats being devoured by the insects as food, Roze lunged forward, baring his sharp fangs.
