Sierra rushed over to see Masamune's figure hanging down on the ground, but she didn't immediately understand the situation.

　But she noticed Sufilia lying in front of her and Toa being held by someone.
　The only thing left to explain was Masamune's expression, which seemed to be after crying, and that was enough to explain it.

''Sister Sierra........''

　The sight of Sierra flooded Nem's enduring grief.
　She was desperate to endure her master's desperation, and now she had to be strong on her own.

'Nem ... where are Toa and Sufilia?'

....

Well.....

　Sierra has learned of their deaths.
　But she didn't know what had happened.

　Suddenly, Masamune was suddenly and quietly standing up.
　There was no sound - and no sign.
　There was no sign of him.

　It's as if he has lost his color as a human being.

''Master........''

　His scattered eyes stare at the ground.
　Masamune didn't respond to Nem's gaze as he tried to meet it.

'Get away from me, Nem-kun! --

　By the time Lucius shouted, both Nem and the lying Sufilia had been lightly blown backwards by the wind pressure.

　Sierra received Nem, and Reinhardt received the body of Sufilia.

''This is........''

　Reinhardt seeks an answer to the ordinary scene in front of him.

　The source of the wind pressure was Masamune.
　Masamune was now in a small black tornado.

　Those around him held on and endured despite the wind's influence.

''Xicheng-san, step back once!

　A little birdie was about to move down the line at the sound of Kawachi's voice.
　But suddenly, a long, thin, black hand grabbed her by the neck.

''Ugh!''

　The source of the arm was inside the tornado.
　A long, thin hand like a sand flea marketer was extending out.

　Eventually, when the tornado showed gradual convergence--.

　What appeared there was not Masamune, but something human-shaped and black.

　A body with long, skinny limbs and raised ribs.
　Long, spinal-like tails sprouting from twisted, backward-facing horns.
　I don't know how it happened.
　We don't know, but we could all understand that it was Masamune.
　But that figure is no longer a person, but a monstrosity.

　Kotori is grabbed by the neck by Masamune, who has turned into a monster, and the little bird is grabbed by the neck.

''Stop, Masamune-kun...''

　There, he overlays the figure of Masamune as he once was.
　It was when he was still a child.
　Masamune finds a frail kitten in the park and holds it in his arms, regretting his inability to save it, and the gentle figure of Masamune.
　Whenever something sad happens, the little bird turns to Masamune, and Masamune gently pats her on the head.

　But what is in front of him is no longer even a human being.
　The figure of Masamune, whose body was lost and became only a presence, was severely distorted.

　--I'm not going to be able to get it right.

"Masamune...

　The little bird's head scattered in an instant.

　Masamune swung his left arm out of the way with such speed that an ordinary person's eyes could not catch it.
　All that was left was the headless body of Nishiki Kotori.

''No way...''

　Kawachi pressed his mouth in shock.
　He hadn't really expected to kill him.

　Masamune threw the little bird's body at the imperial soldiers.
　He wasn't even sure if he had an ego now, and the intent of his actions was unknown.

''All troops, restrain that thing!

　The Imperial Guard was puzzled by Kawachi's command.
　There were wild jeers from all over for being reckless.
　Here and there, some of them were retreating into the defensive walls.

''What are you guys doing!''

"I don't have to deal with that shit!　The war is over, look around, Captain!

　Kawachi was so blinded by Masamune's appearance that he couldn't see his surroundings.

　The struggle between the Jishi's bloodline and the Imperial soldiers who had been sent out into battle earlier had gone quiet, and there was no sign of Rashausen's soldiers.
　And if you look closely, you can see Reinhardt's figure nearby, he is next to the White King Knight in white armor.

''A few of the Commander's class, and then I just heard that Lady Lage escaped from the back gate. From the look of the battlefield, the emperor is probably dead too. That eldest son is just like that. The war and the empire are over!

　Why did the subordinates around him know what he, as a captain, did not know, as a matter of course?
　There was already the criticism that a little human girl would never be able to organize a beastman.
　Kawachi's depressed emotions had no place to go and...

Lightning.

　He flew to Masamune.

"Hey, hey, you fool, leave that thing alone. "Hey, hey, you fool, leave that thing alone!

　The retreating Imperial soldiers.
　No voice was heard by Kawachi.

　The sorcery had no effect on Masamune.
　Masamune turned around to Kawachi as if nothing had happened.

''Oh no...''

　He was no longer Hidaka Masamune.

　Kawachi's body strengthened as his eyes met with the monster's crimson Arinomoto eyes.

　In the midst of the scenery flowing in slow motion, Kawachi doesn't realize that her body is about to be grabbed by Masamune and pressed to the ground.

　What she noticed was--.

'No!'

　That's when I felt the pain in my right arm, which had been trampled and shattered to the bone.

　Kawachi, lying on her back, sobbed as she looked at Masamune's face in front of her.

''Don't.......don't.......''

　But Masamune couldn't understand a word.

''Gyaaahhhhhh!

　Masamune tore off Kawachi's left arm and began to eat it as if he were sucking on spare ribs.

'---- I hate it! ----

　Those were Kawachi's last words.

　Masamune thrust his hands into the area around Kawachi's belly and stabbed relentlessly over and over again at high speed.
　By the time his belly was ripped open, blood splattered, flesh splattered, intestines splattered, a hole in his back from the penetration, and dirt on the ground splattered, Kouchi was drawing his last breath.

'Ugh, wow, the captain's been hit!　Everyone run to the barricades!

　The main gate is crowded with former Imperial soldiers--beastmen.
　Everyone starts running to get ahead of me.

　But whether or not they could get into the barrier was irrelevant in front of Masamune.

　A huge magic circle appeared at Masamune's feet and several beastmen floated in the air.
　Each of them were confused by their floating appearance.

''Doh, what's going on!''

Shit! I can't get out!

"d*mn it, somebody put me down!

　The beastmen were distraught as they slowly realized that it was due to something of the monster in front of them.
　All the beastmen floating in the air flew in a straight line as if they were being sucked into Masamune.

''Stop!''

　Realizing that they were going to be killed, the beastmen shouted.
　But all the beastmen stopped in front of Masamune with a snap.

　As if their bodies instantly stiffened, each of the beastmen struck a fierce 'watch out' pose in the air.
　This time, they moved to the top of Masamune's shoulder blades and stopped.
　One after another, the beastmen took the same action and circled behind him.

　It was like a magazine.
　The line of beastmen all lined up in the same direction, drawing a slight arc and forming a long magazine.

　Suddenly, some of the beastmen in front of Masamune disintegrated into a mist.
　The mist of blood and flesh scattered in the air gathered in Masamune's hand and formed a huge rifle.
　Born from the flesh and blood of living creatures, the gun was constantly dripping with blood.

　It fell down along the arc from the front of the remaining beastly front, trying to fill the space opened by the disappearance of the beastly man.
　It stopped above the shoulder blades (kenkoukotsu).
　It was a veritable magazine.

　Masamune held a huge rifle at the beastmen that swarmed at the gate.

''Masamune, what are you doing...''

　Lucius tried to ask the meaning of the action.
　But the voice didn't reach him, and as one of the beastly figures above his shoulder blades disappeared, the rifle roared and the roar was fired.

'Hold onto the ground!'

　A gust of wind like being in the center of a typhoon.
　Lucius called out to Nem and Lisa and deployed a magical ward to protect everyone from the gusts of wind.

　The dead trees around them were blown up into the sky.
　In the midst of the storm, Masamune indiscriminately attacked the main gate, the defensive wall, and the beastmen.

''Kak Kak Kak Kak Kak Kak.........''

　A barbed laugh can be heard from Masamune's mouth as his jaw crunches.

　He advances step by step towards the collapsing defensive wall, firing his rifle with the beastmen as bullets.
　If he runs out of bullets, he replenishes the beastmen from around him.
　Once inside the defensive wall, they turned the people into bullets.
　There was no distinction between beastmen and humans in the bullets, and Masamune used them indiscriminately.

　The town could hear numerous screams and Masamune's barbed laughter of "kakka kakka".

　Due to Masamune's outbursts, the citizens of the castle town of Sigma Deus and.
　The underworld has been destroyed.

''Kakka-kakka-kakka-kakka........''

'Master Lucius, Master Masamune has gone into the barricades...'

　Lisa asks Lucius what he plans to do with the runaway Masamune.
　But Lucius had his fill of the Toa in his arms alone.

'Let's go back to the Devil's Land,'

　At his words, Lisa, Nem and the demon soldiers looked at Lucius.
　It was because his voice sounded extremely lonely.

''Your master--''

Mr. Nem.

　Lucius interrupted.

'He's not the Masamune you know anymore.

'But ... the master is Nem's master. He's the only master!

　Nem burst into tears and pleaded.

'....or maybe this is the outcome he wanted.

　Nem's expression turned angry.

'I can't believe you wished...'

　But Lucius didn't say any more.

'Return to the Demon Kingdom, form a transition magic circle.

Ha!

You guys.

　Lucius called out to Sierra and Reinhardt, who were holding Sufilia.
　Sierra had been visited by Masamune at the Demon King's Castle before.
　So Lucius also remembered her face.

''We are leaving. Why don't you come to the Demon Kingdom if you want?

"Reinhardt, Sufilia I'm here to rescue Masamune.

You don't want to do that.

　Lucius' voice interrupted the conversation.

'It's not Masamune-kun who needs rescuing, but the people of this country. But that's not going to happen in time either, it's a waste of time. You don't want to die, do you?

But...

'Come with me. It's not a good idea to get involved with him now. The way he's acting, he's bound to go on a rampage for a while. Or he'll never stop...

　Lucius held out his hand and invited.

'Rogue, you're coming too,'

"Chill...

　Shpilman was about to quietly walk away from the scene.

'I'm going to stop the time between Toa and Sufilia-kun.

...are you sure about this?

That's for pranks. I need your help.

　The rogue seemed unable to disobey Lucius' words.

'Sierra, let's do as I say here,'

Yes, sir.

　Sierra agreed with Reinhardt.
