'Inferno.........?

　Gazes of suspicion flew towards the pair who suddenly stood there.

　Everyone was confused by the statement.

''You're lying!　Bongiorno always comes out with a dusky red cape on!
That's why it's an inferno.

　But Zeviantes' point itself is correct.

　The inferno, which was always supposed to be one person, appeared as two.
　Moreover, he doesn't have the red cloak that could be said to be his trademark.

　What they mean is.....

''They're the ones who made up the wraith body along with the Drismegians, aren't they?

　One of the Ida of "Heaven and Earth" said calmly, "You have been given an incomplete, disembodied body.

''You were given incomplete, disembodied bodies, bodies that were burned by prison flames and lost in places. What you lacked in parts, you filled in for each other. And so the body that was made up as one is the inferno.
That's why they're considered plural and one.

　Estelica adds.

'And each of them became independent in unison. Have you got some supplementary meat from somewhere?
'Your answer. You are indeed the Lord's self-proclaimed ally, Ida, Dana of 'Heaven and Earth'.
....

　Ida's eyebrows knit together at the sarcastic tone.

The other day I had the opportunity to take a large amount of souls. The other day we had the opportunity to ingest a large quantity of souls, but when we ate the souls, our bodies were attached to them. But when they ate the souls, they took their bodies with them and used them for food.
"I heard you hit some prison cell...

　As expected, Ida also frowned.

''How many hundreds were sacrificed to make up for your physical deficiencies?　An evil deed worthy of a hell-raiser.
Deficit assistance is only a twidey. The main purpose is to absorb the soul. The body that was originally unnecessary was reused and not wasted, so I'd say that's rather gentle.
"A lot of sophistry.

　The landscape around Ida showed a strange shimmer.
　The spatial distortions are showing an expansion. It must have been in preparation for the enemy's attack.

'The Lord has given us a body and we are more perfect. No longer can we be one piece of existence that cannot be fulfilled unless we get together.

　Because he is a ghost who was resurrected from hell, the monster Inferno was also a deformed form.
　However, in this world, he has changed even more, becoming a different monster than before.

Inferno is no longer a term that refers to a single demon. The term inferno no longer refers to a single demon, but to all three of us.
I say three, but...

　Ida, glancing cautiously to the left and right, then says

'I don't see any Drismegians, where are they?

　He pursues more sharply.

I'm going to be able to say that we are separated, which means that we are able to act separately. What are you mooks sneaking around behind the scenes with your small fry in the vanguard?
A copycat?　You!

　The one who reacted the most violently and was about to pounce on the other.
　You're not going to be able to get away with it.

You're treating me like a wimp again, aren't you?　You're going to be treated like a wimp again!　You're gonna regret it when you try to pull that shit!
Hey, Abos, I'll take you up on that.

　The slender one admonished.

'Either way, it's true that we can't defeat him ourselves. Forgetting the role we've been given.
''Guruuuuuuuu...!''

　Even with this exchange alone, one could tell at a glance which of the enemies was the commander.

''........A diversion.

　Ida immediately recognized the situation.

"I'll leave it to you to deal with them. I'll go after Drismegian.
'What?!'

　Ida turns on her heel without hesitation and turns to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute!　We can't just kill them all!
That's your job. That's why you're following us.

　The way he said it was frank.

"Drismegian is going to do something," he said. The Drismegian is going to do something, he's going to make the most horrible, unimaginable move of all. He's going to make the most horrible, unimaginable move of all, and he's going to keep us on our toes until he's done.

　So he dared the survivors to eavesdrop and lure the trackers to this point.
　Everything was in Inferno's hands.

Then it is best to pursue Drismegian in a straight line without bothering these guys. But since you're here, it's time to be useful. It makes sense to hit the small fry with the small fry.
''Small fry is a terrible thing to say!

　Zeviantes is indignant, but Droyer and Radie, who have also been taken in by the same group, cannot be at peace.
　But they can't argue with that.
　But they can't argue with him, because they have witnessed the strength of Ida, and they have to admit that he is right.

I should say that he is one of the strongest men of all time, as expected of a straightforward decision, but he is a bit hasty. If you are only concerned about the Lord and overlook important things, you will be treated as poorly as a new recruit.
Ho....!

　Hostility in his eyes as his pride got the better of him.

'It's a big part of the Drismegian dog-feelings.
A dog is a dog, but he's a loyal dog. I won't just sit back and wait for them to find out that I'm stalling.
Hmm....

　Ida is rather impressed by these words as she puts down her anger.

"Loyalty. You have a lot more men than you thought. So, in spite of your good health, what is your trump card?

　Ida, the higher ups, would be incompetent if they didn't have some kind of plan in place.
　This is where I read that there must be a secret plan to keep Ida on the hook.

You've heard it from those guys over there, haven't you?　The giant demon that lives in this forest, is that...?
A Hexenbiest.

　Four cursed beasts that were created by the Demon King a long time ago.
　Their origin and strength were completely different from the monsters, and their fearfulness rivaled that of natural disasters.

　When faced with the existence of these monsters, even the strongest four Heavenly Kings of all time would have no choice but to change their attitude.

The true identity of the monster known as the Mountain Wolf that lives in this forest is Wind Devil Windra. Even though you don't know it, calling a monster monster a monster, the human race is as stupid and carefree as ever...''
I guess I'm just as wary of using the name "Hexenbiest" as you are of mentioning it. But what the hell do you want with a hexenbiest?

　In the first place, the existence of demonic beasts was a threat because they were out of the control of humans and demonkind.
　If they could be easily incorporated into a strategy, there would be no difficulty.

''Do you want to use a forbidden spell to bring them in?''

　There was someone who had actually tried to do that in the recent past.
　It was Bashbarza, the now deceased Four Heavenly Kings "Ayan Fire".

　In order to cover up the repeated blunders, he took to reading the forbidden curse in one fell swoop. He found the most appropriate monster emissary and eventually fused it with a monster to gain its power for himself, but...

　In the end, he couldn't withstand the power of the hexenbiest and his whole body disappeared.

　The power of these monsters is so powerful that it's impossible for one demon race to contain it all.
　Hence, it was the hidden treasure of the Demonic Beast Fusion that was considered a forbidden curse.

''But even so, Drismegian might be able to do it. He might be able to swallow all the power of a hexenbiest.

　Ida's appreciation for her old friend was unstoppable.

''But we have another problem. If it's a wind monster beast here, then it has different attributes, right?''

　Drismegian's specialty in magic is fire.

The fusion of monsters and beasts can only have explosive power when both attributes are present. With fire and wind, the conversion efficiency is poor, and that could be detrimental to you.
It's true that a Hexenbiest might not be to your liking. But what about someone else?
What did you say?
'Is there any part of this Cernya's name that you notice, Noka?
I don't know. Who are you?
'I was proud to say that I still had some fame in this, but not enough to reach the ears of the prosperous Valhalla. More diligence is needed.
Are you........a demon, or are you from a demon race?　In other words, before he fell into hell, he had the status of the Four Heavenly Kings. No way.........?

　Ida's expression changes at the possibilities that can be derived.

''As you can imagine, when I was in this world, I was the Four Heavenly Kings of the Wind.
It's just like me!

　Zeviantes' unimportant counterpart.

''The same wind attribute as the wind monster........ Do you mean you're going to eat the monster beasts here?　You don't know what you're doing. You think you could control a hexenbiest if you weren't a Drismegian?
Well, we'll let you find out. We haven't fused them together yet.

　A rustling sound.
　It was the sound of forest branches swaying and leaves or rubbing against each other.

　The branches swayed because the wind was blowing.
　Suddenly, the wind started to pick up.

''The demonic beasts are already on my side Da.

　A huge dragon descends from the heavens.
　The dark green scales may symbolize the power of the wind, and the mane of the dragon's body, which is thick in places, sways majestically in the wind.

''Something came out!
"That's...?

　The wind monster Windora.

　This is the same type of existence as Salamandre, the flame monster beast that once drove Dariel and the others into a corner to show off its fearsome nature.

You've already been using the Hexenbiest's magician's technique?
"Come on, you're going to fight me, Apostle Yo of Valhalla. What do you think you can do against a hexenbiest?
