Chapter 213: Progress. (3)

–It’s Deculein. You’re watching too, right?

On a mountain range not far from Barahal, Ellie scratched her head while reading Elesol’s signals.

“…Yes, I’m watching. I think there’s something bad-“

Wham-!

Elesol smacked Ellie’s arm.

“Eey, it hurts…”

-If there’s something bad, you can just burst them to death.

“…It’s not like that.”

Ellie looked across the land again. Barahal was a headache even for the Demon Blood. They were a cult who worshipped the Altar, so Ellie and Elesol were dispatched to get rid of them.

-It’s not the first time that Deculein has shown that kind of cruelty.

Elesol built a prison under the desert for the Demon Blood. She intended to detain the Altar worshippers in there.

“But still, there’s no gas chamber in Rohalak. The Professor has kept his promise.”

-…Forget it. You’re no different from the clan who was brainwashed by the Altar. Let’s go back for now since we’ve already secured the chief’s recruit.

Elesol signed, and Ellie looked to the fainted clan leader of Barahal.

“Okay, but…”

Elesol and Ellie planned to track the Altar based on the information in his head. The last alternative for the Demon Blood was the mutually assured destruction that Elesol strongly insisted on or the Altar’s collapse that Ellie pushed for.

“Elesol, let’s wait a bit longer.”

-Why?

“…No reason.”

Ellie watched Deculein’s back from far away as he was walking gracefully through the carnage. She smiled a little and muttered.

“I want to watch more… ack!”

Wham-!

Elesol knocked on Ellie’s head this time.

Bam-! Bam-! Bam-!

Several times, like knocking on a gourd.

“Ack, ack, oh, and also, also, there are a few more we need to take.”

Elesol narrowed her eyes and asked back.

-We’ll take?

“…Yeees.”
