Chapter 199: The End of Winter. (3)

The wave of ten thousand monsters. The presence of the demon was clear even amid their endless ranks. Julie was naturally aware of where the demon was.

“…”

The demon looked peculiar. Julie couldn’t even find a way to describe its figure. It was over three meters tall, but its shape was of an entirely different configuration from a human. It was like making a person of clay but then crushing its body to where it would move forward using three legs and four arms. In a way, it was like watching an octopus trying to move on land. What a revolting creature…

Boom—!

Deculein knocked his cane against the ground. Julie looked back at him in surprise.

“It’s the demon of hallucination.”

“…What?”

“It portrays a human’s imagination and creates a being that has never been seen.”

The simplest example was an alien. Though they weren’t human and everyone described their face or skin color as entirely different from humans, the basic factors such as walking on two legs and having two arms were the same. Yet this was putting together a being that had never been seen before.

“That guy uses human memories and experiences. So he would look a little weird to you.”

If it was a Named demon, its appearance and identity were obvious. Even if it weren’t in the game scenario, it would be recorded in the many ancient books that Deculein had read.

“…”

Julie stared at Deculein, leaning in a bit closer before nodding.

“…Yes, but.”

She answered under her breath and turned her sword to aim at Deculein.

“Professor Deculein is not an easy character to copy.”

“…”

Deculein- no, the demon who took the form of Deculein stared at Julie silently. He did not ask stupid questions such as how she knew. Rather, he would have known already from her memories. Nevertheless, Julie kindly explained.

“Your face is growing distorted.”

There wasn’t even a need to look closely. She was confused for a while from looking at his side profile, but it was clear from the front.

“Are you supposed to be a halibut?”

It was so ridiculous that she almost laughed. At that moment, Deculein’s form shifted as he looked through her head to find another appearance. But, at the same time, Julie’s sword pierced his shoulder and cut down to his hips, a bitter cold filling him.

“You don’t seem to have a special form.”

She grabbed the hilt of her sword with both hands.

“Extreme cold freezes even gas.”

Craaaaaack—!
