Volume 6 Chapter 2 Part 7

「On the invisible wall that the Demon puts up. 」

When Emma answered, she reverted to her Werewolf form and leapt over the Demon’s head. Luna also jumped to the same place after a moment of waiting.

(What are they going to do now?)

The Black Witch immediately became suspicious of the twins’ movements, and she adjusted the position of her broom so that she could see them and their actions better. That being said, there was no need for her to worry, because no matter what these two might try to do, there is no way they can break through the Demon’s barrier.

The inhabitants of the Abyss world seem to find it painful to stay in this world for prolonged periods of time, so they always create a small Abyss world within the barrier they’re surrounding themselves with whenever they’re summoned into this world.

Yana believed that the barrier created by the Demon was the absolute form of defense and that nothing would ever break through it.

But…

What the twin Werewolf sisters were trying to do was not to break the barrier.

When the first one landed on top of the barrier, she bent her knees and accumulated as much power as she could in them, and in the next moment, the other one landed precisely on the first one’s shoulders.

「Let’s go~! 」

「Let’s go~! 」

The twin werewolves shouted and leapt into the air at the same time. Naturally, the one below was pressed down from above, so she stayed on the barrier. However, the one on top was also pushed up from below, thanks to which she was able to jump much higher than she normally would be able to.

Moreover, the barrier was reaching high into the air to begin with, and the height of the twins also shortened the distance that the one on top needed to travel to reach her intended target.

「Hyiiii!!! 」

When she finally realized what was going on, Yana screamed and tried to escape higher into the air….

… but she didn’t make it in time, and a sharp strike with the Werewolf’s claws cut deep wounds into her back.

「Ghhh!!! 」

Yana let out a groan of pain, but even after being dealt such a wound, she managed to stay on her broom, and she once again rose high into the sky to avoid getting hit by Luna and Emma once again.

The clothes that she was wearing have been torn, and her blood was now dripping onto the ground. Moreover, due to the shock of being wounded, her control over the Demon has been broken.

From within the barrier, the Demon looked up at her and smiled at Yana with a savage grin on its face. It was as if it was beckoning her to come over to it.

「You really want to take me back to the Abyss world with you that badly, huh? After what I did to you, I’m sure you must be dying to eat me in revenge. 」

Yana also used to gather sacrifices and perform various rituals at the gatherings of the Black Witches. Recreating the daily life of the Abyss world, which is considered one of the hellish worlds, is also necessary in order to understand that other world so that she could summon its inhabitants to do her bidding.

「Looks like the festivities are over. 」

Yana sighed deeply.

「Really now, this life of mine was the one filled with regrets all the way until the very end. 」

She could hear a victorious howl of the Werewolf twins from somewhere down on the ground. They’re probably eagerly waiting for Yana to fall to the ground and die.

「I don’t mind if you guys kill me, but… 」

Yana muttered to herself while enduring severe pain. Then she searched for Boltz with her eyes.

A short distance away, he and the Chamberlain of the Witch from Elam were lying n the ground. It would seem that they got into a legitimate fight after all.

「Are you satisfied now that you’ve defeated that Chamberlain? 」

Yana looked at Boltz and called out to him.

「Well then, it looks like it’s time for me to go as well… 」

The wound she received was severe, but because it was on her back, she couldn’t reach it and heal herself.

「If I’m going to die anyway, then I’ll at least take one of them with me. 」

Yana bit down on her lips and flew her broom towards the battlefield, but the twins didn’t follow after her, and instead went over to the Chamberlain’s side.

「Well then, which one should I kill? 」

Yana asked herself.

If anything, the one she wanted to kill the most was the Witch from Elam, but now that she thought about it, she realized that it would be infinitely more fun if she killed her precious Lord.

While cackling maniacally, Yana mustered her remaining strength and made her way ahead, towards the place where Theo Cornero’s army and the Rossini family’s army collided with one another.

「Damn it! She escaped! 」

Luna groaned with frustration.

She managed to cut the Black Witch’s back open with her claws, but apparently the wound she inflicted on her was too shallow to kill her then and there. She was heavily bleeding, but she still managed to fly away on her broom at high speed.

「Should we chase after her? 」

Luna looked back at Emma and asked with a worried expression.

「Let’s leave it later. I’m worried about Irvin. 」

Emma answered her twin sister.
Even if she listened carefully, she couldn’t hear the sounds of battle. She could also smell the scent of blood, though only faintly.

「Yes, I’m worried as well. 」

Luna agreed with Emma, and the two of them ran to where Irvin was supposed to be fighting the Assassin.

Then they found Irvin lying on the ground. The Assassin was also there with him, lying on the ground a little bit further away from him.

「Irvin! 」

Emma and Luna rush over to check on him. Thankfully he was still breathing, but his pulse was very weak.

「If this keep sup, then he’s going to die! 」

Luna let out a scream.

In the meantime, Emma sniffed him and shifted him around until she found a small scar on his left shin. It was a really small would, but even so, it had thick, black liquid oozing out of it and was giving out an exceptionally foul odor.

「He’s been poisoned… 」

Emma muttered to herself. It was probably something that the Black Witch made specifically to kill him. And in that case, that poison must be something truly terrifying.

「Do you think we should try to suck it out of him? 」

「It looks like it already managed to spread all over his body, so even if we did that, we wouldn’t make it in time. 」
Emma pondered the matter for a moment and looked back at Luna.

「Then I guess there’s only one thing left that we can do. 」

Luna nodded.

「Yes, that seems to be the only way. 」

The two agreed with one another, and Luna proceeded to rip Irvin’s trousers, sticking her sharp claws into the thick veins running down his thighs. Dark red blood trickles out from the newly-opened wound.

Meanwhile, Emma cut her own wrist, and her own black blood started to trickle down her hand. Emma then pressed her cut wrist right next to the wounds on Irvin’s thighs.

As a race that’s strongly related to Chaos, Werewolves have Arts flowing in their blood as well, and it is that quality that grants them their strong regenerative abilities. Someone is given their blood to drink or consumes one of their internal organs of flesh, it is possible to turn that person into a Werewolf.

However, not every person possesses the aptitude that’s necessary for surviving the transformation process, in which case they can die from the shock that their bodies are going to experience because of the sudden changes happening to it.

It is risky, but if they don’t try it, then Irvin was surely going to die. The twins had no choice but to bet on him having the aptitude to accept the gift of the Werewolf’s blood.

Emma kept on pressing onto her own would, pouring more and more of her blood into Irvin’s wound. When she was done, her own regenerative powers closed the cut on her wrist as if it was never there, and she tied up Irvin’s wounds with a piece of cloth ripped from the rest of his trousers.

「How’s it going? You think he’ll make it? 」

Luna asked worriedly.

「I don’t know. 」

Luna answered truthfully while shaking her head.
