315-Episode 315: A Gentle Sleep, Part 1




 Rifa, Tania and Sola confronted the demon clans that were being controlled by the Weiss.
 Rifa called out to Tania and Sora standing next to her while focusing on the enemy in front of her.

''Tania, Sora. I want you two to deal with someone other than your brother. Can you do that?
Of course you can, but...
'Are you sure? That would mean that Rifa....
Like I said before, I'm letting you go, big brother. I have to.
"Okay, fine. I won't let Rifa get in the way.
Go ahead and do your best.

 Killing my brother once more by my sister's hand.
 That may be very cruel, but....
 But Rifa herself wanted it.

 He couldn't do anything to overturn that determination, and if he could, he would respect it.
 Seeing Rifa's strong determination, Tania and Sola decided to give way honestly.

'Let's go, Sola!
Yes, Tania!

 First, Tania and Sora moved first.
 Tania used her fists and tail with great dexterity to strike the two demon clans.
 Sola also used her magic to attack the two demon clans.

 Their attacks were flashy, and at a glance, they could understand that it was a diversion to keep Rifa out of their way.
 However, the other party was once dead and in a state of manipulation.
 Although he has been turned into a soldier by Weiss, he does not have the ability to think for himself.
 Easily riding on Tania and Sora's diversions, the four demons left the scene.

 And Rifa and her brother....................Carus is left behind.

''Brother........!
'Guaaaah.........!

 With a beastly roar, Calus pounced on him.
 With a tremendous leap, he pounced on Rifa in one flight.

 Rifa didn't panic, but responded calmly.
 He immediately bit his own finger and shed blood.
 The blood generated a scythe and intercepted the approaching callus.

''Phew!''

 He cleaves the scythe wide open, diagonally down and up.
 The sharp blow splits Kalus's leg and knocks his body to the ground.

 But Kalus doesn't stop.
 The blood flowing from his leg is transformed into armor and draped over his body.
 The blood-generated armor has blades that cut through everything it touches.

 Carus pounces on Rifa with a beastly movement.

''Guh!''

 Rifa catches it with her blood scythe, but she can't kill the momentum completely.
 Kalus pushed him back two or three steps, and he took two or three steps backwards.

 Seeing this as an opportunity, Carus opens his hands wide to hug Rifa.
 Even if I say hug him, he is still clad in blood armor like a blade.
 If they do that, there's no way they'll be safe.

''This!''

 Rifa leapt his scythe upwards from underneath him and bounced Calus off the ground.
 In the meantime, he tried to regain his stance, but Kalus was better at it.

 Kalus spun his body in midair and regained his stance in an instant.
 That was faster than Rifa.

 He also turned the blood flowing from his legs into a tentacle of blood.
 The tentacles of blood stretched out and intertwined with Rifa's limbs.
 Then, when Rifa's movement was blocked, Carus landed on the ground.
 He closes the distance again and thrusts his sharply extended canine teeth into Rifa's arm.

''Ugh...!

 Rifa let out an involuntary scream as Callus' canine teeth dug deep into her arm.
 A searing pain spread and blood flooded out.
 Unable to endure the stimulation, Rifa's face contorted and a slight tear appeared on her face.

 Still, Carus didn't pull away from Rifa.
 Biting at his arm, he pushed his canine teeth further into the air...
 It was bone crushing and arm biting.

 It was the beast itself.

''Kuuuuuu.......brother!

 More than the pain of having his arm eaten, Rifa remembered the pain in his heart.
 She felt an inexplicable sadness at the sight of her brother's coming of age.

 Crying, ranting, raving...
 I want to pretend I didn't see it all and block it up.

 But I can't let you do that.
 I have to save my brother.
 Kalus would never allow a demon race like Weiss to use him for his own good.
 He may not be conscious, but his soul will remember the unbearable humiliation.
 That's why I have to unleash myself.

 Determined, Rifa grabbed Carus's head as he bit into her arm.
 As it was, he crushed it with a crushing force, just barely tightening it.

 Since he was already dead, he would not feel any pain.
 Even though Kalus didn't scream when his head was squeezed, he didn't scream, but bit into Rifa's arm.
 However, the brain that controlled his body was screaming.
 Willingly or not, if the brain that controlled his body was damaged, there was nothing he could do about it.
 Rifa continued to squeeze Carus's head, transmitting a certain amount of damage...

 Suddenly, the strength in Kalus's jaw relaxed.
 Without missing the moment, Rifa kicked Kalus away and pulled him away.

'Perforate!'

 Rifa shot a blood bullet and gave chase.
 He ran the blood bullets at super speed to fill up the space.

 In contrast, Carus lost his stance, but did one hand in front of him and deployed his blood shield.
 The blood bullets collided with each other, and gah gah! And a roaring sound.

'That's my brother,'

 Rifa continued to shoot blood bullets, buying time and thinking of a plan.

 Even though he was fighting with all his might, he still couldn't deliver a decisive blow.
 This is despite the fact that he's in an unconscious state.
 If Carus was in perfect condition, Refa would have already sunk to the ground.

 If it's Kalus now, he has a chance to win.
 However, with their strength in the balance, it's hard to make a final move.
 What should he do?

 
 There is no time to get lost.
 I'll put it into action immediately.

''Eyaaaaah!

 After shooting out the blood bullets, he generated the blood sickle again and slashed at it.
 As expected, too much blood was poured out and I felt lightly dizzy.
 While holding it back, he cleaves to the side while spinning the scythe.

 Carus generated a blood sword to counter it.
 He catches the scythe head-on.

 The power is almost even.
 The scythe and the sword became an antagonistic form, and they put their strength into their hands holding each other's weapons.

''Kuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Guaaaaaah!!!

 Rifa sounded like she was in pain.
 Carus sounded like a beast.
 They each shouted high and continued to shout high, and a battle of wits ensued.

''Huh?''

 For a moment, the strength from Rifa's hand gripping the scythe was removed.
 Even though he was in a state where he had no ego, Carus, who was skilled in combat, would not miss the opening.
 He put in a lot of effort here and forcefully drew his sword out.

''Ugh!

 A sword of blood dug into Rifa's abdomen from the side.
 Flesh rips.
 Blood floods out.

 Still, Carus does not stop.
 With his own hands, he cuts both sides of his sister's body up and down.

 In a moment, despite his lack of ego, Kallus is certain of victory.
 This target was dead.
 Or mortally wounded.
 There was no more use.
 We will find the next one.

 Deciding that, Kalus tore his gaze away from Rifa and looked at Rain and the others, but....
 Carus doesn't realize that it was a blunder.

'....Sweet!

 The rifa that should have been cut off in both directions moved.
 Its body morphed into a myriad of bats, moving behind Kallus to reassemble.
 A cut was carved into its abdomen, but not very deep.

 After receiving the blade, it transformed its body parts into bats, splitting them apart, giving Kalus the illusion that he had received a fatal wound.
 If Kalus had the ability to think properly, he wouldn't have fallen for this kind of trick.
 However, the fact that he dared to be attacked made it more true, and Kalus was successfully fooled.

''This is........the end!

 Rifa, who had gotten behind a completely defenseless Kalus, used the last of her strength to generate a stake of blood.
 He thrust it into Kalus from his back.

 The blood stake pierced Calus's heart with precision.
 The tip of the stake protrudes from his chest.

''Gah........!

 Callus jerked and twitched and....
 The strength drained from his legs and he fell straight down.
