Master’s Smile

Another two heads flew once again.

Those belong to the ones who attacked Sorglos without trying to keep pace with their comrades.

Perhaps, they were trying to be the first one to take down Sorglos and devour her body.

However, what comes next was nothing but their heads being chopped off.

“Hiiie…!?”

The grey guild members finally noticed the anomaly in Sorglos.

They shrieked and stepped back after looking at their comrades’ heads which were rolling on the ground.

However, it was already too late.

“GYAAAAH!?”

Sorglos suddenly appeared in front of one of the men, pulling out her dagger from an unknown place.

Then, shoving it towards the man’s neck before he can avoid it.

“OOOOOOOH!?”

Next, she twisted her body to avoid the sword that was aimed at her and slashed the user’s arm.

She then gently threw her body into the air and did a roundhouse kick towards the man’s head.

With a leg strength that looks completely different from a woman’s, his head was transformed into a strange shape with just a single blow.

“UWOOOOOOOHH!!”

“Muo-”

One of them raised a ferocious scream as if to dissipates his fear and grabbed Sorglos.

Yet, he succeeded in pinning her down as she seemed to be awfully careless about him.

“A’ight! Pin ‘er down just like that! Punish ‘er and mess ‘er up completely!”

“Ooooohh!!”

Multiple grey guild members are attacking her all at once.

It’s no longer the time for me to behave with good manners and look powerless.

Let’s thoroughly tear all of their limbs off.

With that thought, the men who was after her suddenly vanished from a magic bullet that just appeared from their side.

“Wha…? What just…?!”

Looking at where the magic bullet came from, stood the smiling feeble man that Sorglos had protected a while ago.

His usual smile shows nothing other than how weak he looks to them. However, this time, it doesn’t look like it at all.

Somehow, his smile seems strange…

“Y-You guys…!!”

The man who is currently pinning Sorglos down is completely in dismay.

That is because the men who were up until now approaching Sorglos lustily had their bodies erased.

Perhaps, it might still be okay for him if only their heads were blown away, but some of them had their upper body disappeared entirely.

“I have troubled Master once again. I must clean up this mess quickly.”

His body quivered after hearing those words due to the fact that he is currently the closest person to Sorglos.

No matter what, he will be the easiest to be killed.

“B-But, what can ya’ possibly do when I’m pinning ya’ down like this!?”

Yes, Sorglos’ delicate body is now being held tightly by him.

It won’t be easy to escape even for Reel who is the strongest person in this guild.

However…….

“All’s well if I do it like this.”

“Ahーーーーーー”

Sorglos’ head rotated 180 degrees in an instant.

The man who is holding her from behind is now staring face-to-face with Sorglos.

The man couldn’t even let out a shriek at her movement which a human could never do.

He was too scared which led him to let go of his arms that were holding her down.

“GAH…!”

As a result, his abdomen got pierced by Sorglos’ arm.

“Sigh. Negligence is something that should be avoided, indeed.”

Saying so, Sorglos finally reverted her head back to normal.

It doesn’t seem she hurt her neck that much, but it still made a cracking sound.

This time, she attacked the remaining grey guild members as to not bother her master anymore.

Thus the battle ended early.

The men who bravely faced Sorglos had their heads flown.

The men who tried to escape as fast as they could had been stabbed with kunais all over their body.

And the men who did not belong to either of them and were only staring at the course of event had their chests pierced.

Everyone, each one of them, has died.

“In the end, it’s only you left, I see.”

Sorglos stood quietly in the sea of ​​blood and looked at Reel who was still standing until the end.

He was stunned while looking at what happened around him.

There isn’t any of his comrades left who is still standing except himself.

“T-That’s strange…? All of…those guys…”

“Well, normal humans wouldn’t stand a chance, but you, the grey guild humans, were more accustomed to interpersonal combat than normal guilds, whose main task is to subdue demons after all.”

The words that came out from Sorglos was the same as what Reel was thinking.

That’s why they chose to fight against Sorglos who had already beheaded two members from the start.

At that time, those two people were careless.

If you are vigilant and have a large number, there is no way you can lose.

However, it made him realize that it was only his naive thoughts.

“…It’s as if, ya’ bunch are not ordinary people.”

“That would be right.”

Sorglos nods to Reel’s groan.

Then, she suddenly exposed her right sleeve and proudly showed the pattern drawn on her right shoulder.

“…what’s that guild?”

“………”

Although she could proudly show off her guild’s coat of arms, Reel had no choice but to put a question mark on his head as he doesn’t recognize it at all.

Sorglos was also shocked, and her master were trembling with a smile.

“…We belong to the dark guild, “Yelquchira (Army of Salvation)””

“Wha!? D-Dark guild…!? Same as that “Iquenin (Iron Queen)”…!”

Reel finally reacts after he heard the phrase “dark guild”.

He doesn’t know any guild with a name of “Yelquchira”, but dark guilds in general consists of people who are more intelligent than them.

Certainly, he can see a glimpse of Sorglos’ anomaly from the point of her killing all the grey guild members except Reel without changing her facial expressions at all.

“Master, there’s nothing we can do about it if he doesn’t know about us as I’m trying to keep us from being known.”

Sorglos comforted her master by stroking his head.

It seems that the unexpected shock was great for him.

“Damn you… How dare you making Master sad…!”

“Eh……?”

It was natural for Sorglos to point her anger at Reel after seeing her master became depressed.

Sorglos then attacked from above while Reel was still thinking that she disappeared suddenly.

“Nuoooooooo!!”

Her instant movement was what she has been using to slaughter the grey guild members up until now.

However, this grey guild’s most talented B-class adventurer, Reel, responded wonderfully.

Swinging his sword, instead of avoiding her, and turned it into a counterattack.

If she’s in the air, then she can’t move.

“Wha!?”

However, his sword only cut the sky.

Before he knew it, Sorglos is currently standing right in front of him, who is now full of gaps after cutting the sky.

Her left arm was stretched out with extreme eerie.

It’s as if her joints and bones are not related at all…….

“It’s time for your punishment.”

“GEAAH…!?”

Sorglos transformed her right hand.

It wriggled and all of her fingers has branched into multiple branches.

Finally, its shape changed into a massive “thing” with a lot of sharp thorns around it.

She stabbed it one after another on Reel’s abdomen.

His organs that are essential for life support were also damaged, and finally, Reel collapsed to the ground after vomiting a large amount of blood from his mouth.

“Phew… This is because you made Master sad.”

Sorglos put her deformed arm back in a rippling motion.

She gladly looked over the headquarters of the grey guild, which has now become a sea of ​​blood.
