Monster Musume Harem wo Tsukurou!

Chapter 49: Sudden emergence!

My trump card is actually my devil's hand. When I tortured those men before, I achieved and learned a new technique, when used, it concentrates magic in one spot of the body letting it explode from the inside. Since I was able to master such a technique, I think that it's suitable for me to call it as a trump.

Of course, it is the first time that I'm using it against a demon. Can a demon's body even tolerate the concentration of the magical power? No, even if it did work, will it have any effect at all? That fellow is a human-type demon right, does that mean that it has the same magic routes as a human and will it flow the same way? In the first place, can I operate the magical power of this demon with my devil's hand? These are the various problems that I encountered, now that you mention it, how will I survive this?

I caught the arm of the demon, I looked at it for a brief moment and stopped its movements. OK, I don't have the mind to hold back at him. Can I bet on this?

I manipulate his magic with my devil's hand and touched him at a place where it is easy to collect magical power to its maximum. Although you can collect magic in the head by gripping the arm, but it's inefficient and failure isn't an option, so I have to use it on his arm.

I immediately checked the flow of magical power of the demon.... Yosh, his limbs are a bit different, but it's similar to a human. I should be able to use it, I have to do it quickly.

"Hey, Hey! Can you stop squirming already? I want to look for someone stronger now. Don't make me waste too much time!" Demon.

"Here, it won't take more than 10 seconds!" Tsuchio.

"What are you talking about!?!?" Demon.

At a dash, I centralized all of his magic in the arm that lifted me up. Magic is collected at a speed that you can't comprehend and it opened a burden to his body. The arm of the demon swells for a moment and at that time the demon had separated himself from me in a hurry. The arm of the demon swelled to its limit, then *BOOM!*. With a loud bang the arm bursts into a million pieces. Meat pieces of all sizes and blood were scattered in the vicinity.

"Gaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Holding his left arm, the demon writhes while screaming in agony. It's more effective than I thought, so I'll add a point to the insurance.

Talismans are thrown to the ground and rock spears appeared. However, when the demon who crouched down takes a swing with his other arm a black flash of light lights up in front of me and destroyed every talisman. An explosion occurs, I tried to prevent the fragments of the explosion from hitting me.

"HAHAHAHAHA, it’s painful! Finally, you have used your hidden move. It's been ten years since I lost my last arm!" Demon.

He says while shaking his left arm that was blown off. The demon stands up, he looks at his arm and a wild grin appeared on his face showing his enjoyment...!

Hey... hey this guy... is not weakening at all.

"Your magic has decreased and for a human, you're using a strange skill. Finally, you have some value for your head, looks like it would be worthwhile killing you." Demon.

"...You... Haven't weakened at all. You seem to be doing fine after what I did." Tsuchio.

"Even If though this is painful, this is nothing compared to my previous battles. Well, I enjoyed our fun so far, but now, the play ends here." Demon.

A black sphere appears on his fingertip. Its dark color would seem that it has absorbed the darkness of nights. Even if this guy is still not serious, this magic would be enough to kill me.

Is he going to drop it!? Though the chances of me dodging that thing are relatively high but if he doesn't drop it...

That demon is merciless. He only lifts a single hand and numerous black hands grow out from the ground, constricting me. I can feel the pain from my broken left arm that's restricted, even the slightest movement would bring me immeasurable pain. I need to bite into something.

"Indeed, you may have brought me to a point where my arm was blown off, therefore there is no more room for fooling around. Too bad, but I really need to kill you now" Demon.

The black ball glitters on his fingertips and a bright ray is fired at my direction. The light spread throughout my field of vision... It's useless, I can't think of a way to avoid it. The lack of my ability, the bill to trust in Ruu and the others to come to my aid wasn't paid. I resigned and closed my eyes.

I fought till the very end, I even used my whole arsenal. Being defeated, being killed by that. Is this the reason why I have no fear of death? Is it because that I knew that it would end this way?

"Well if I were to say "I have no more regrets", would it become a lie? I wanted to see Ruu and the others in their humanoid forms before I die. I wanted to be cared for by Ruu and the others... Ah, after all, I feel lonely when Ruu, Lime, and Rin are no longer with Me." he cited in his thoughts as a gust of warm wind brushed his cheeks.

A fluffy, floating like feeling influences me. Although I thought that an angel came down from the heavens to pick me up... I'm being held up on my back and knees, am I being carried like a princess?

When I opened my eyes fearfully, a woman was looking at me. She had elegant red hair, with flame-like trails on the tips, as well as a pair of ruby-like horns attached to both sides of her head. With a slim nose and sharp eyes, one could only describe her as a natural beauty, capable of gaining everybody attention. However, tears were about to fall from her eyes, indicating that she may cry at any moment.

Apparently, while holding me in her arms, we seem to be soaring in the air because I can see her wings flapping on her back and descends straight to the ground and leaned me against a rock. She touched my left arm and frowned unintentionally.

Sitting next to me, I was able to see her full figure. Wearing a red scaled breastplate with a bleached colored shirt under it, and a red-and-white frill skirt below. Her legs that were exposed from there on... were like dragon legs.

Half of her thighs area is full of scales which shine brilliantly red. Her feet are definitely that of a dragon and the splinters which appeared from her sharp nails and ankles are brutal. With the feeling that her arms also looks so, everything below her elbows was full of dragon scales. The other half of her thighs is similar to a human's skin and the area between those two skins is absolutely dazzling.

Half of her thigh area are covered in crimson scales which shined brilliantly while the other half is similar to a human's skin, though her feet are definitely in the shape of a dragon, the area between the two skins absolutely dazzling. Brutal splinters appeared from her sharp nails and ankles, with the feeling that her arms also had those splinters.

She is probably a demon other than that other fellow. As for this red female dragon helping me, I can only think of one person.

"...Ruu, is that you?" Tsuchio.

“Tsuchio..." Ruu.

"Your appearance, it changed... that reminds me, what happened to that demon?" Tsuchio.

"He was blown away with my punch, besides, I think that he comes back immediately." Ruu.

"I see. Thank you very much, Ruu." Tsuchio.

“Th, That's.... No one does hurt my Tsuchio, my, my..." Ruu.

Did she endure it all the time, because tears run down from her eyes?

"Although I′m your familiar, letting my master fight so much and being injured so much... I couldn't defend Tsuchio, so I have no meaning to be beside you...!” Ruu.

"Ah, calm down Ruu. Look at me.” Tsuchio.

I patted Ruu's head with my right hand. Her bright red eyes look at me.

"If Ruu wasn't here, I would have been dead by now, this whole time, while I was fighting, I waited for help to come and when Ruu finally came and saved me from the brink of death, I can't help but say thank you, so don't say that you're insignificant." Tsuchio.

“Tsuchinoko..." Ruu.

My figure was going to overlap with Ruu when the demon suddenly fell down from the sky. It was Ruu who looked at me wistfully, but still, she couldn't ignore the demon.

"Tsuchio, wait here for me, I'll defeat him and return immediately." Ruu.

“...Don't force yourself." Tsuchio.

"I understand, I'm going." Ruu.

She responded and Ruu flew off towards the demon. She said that I should wait here but, how could I? Because I couldn't use it until now, shall I use my trump card again and defeat the demon together with Ruu.... For now, I should prepare the talisman.

＜Ruu′s viewpoint＞

When I come in front of the demon, he has a smile full of wild joy and thus the story continues.

"Is that fellow your friend!? That explains why he's so strong. I just got tired of that fellow, so please me!" Demon.

...To such a fellow, Tsuchio was injured? Did Tsuchio fight against such a guy alone?

"...My friend?" Ruu.

"Is that fellow, your slave? Bringing up a slave here, you are very curious!" Demon.

Tsuchio being my slave?...Ah, this might also be good. He shouldn't have said it. Saying such a thing and feeling disregard, I am not gentle. It's only when I'm with Tsuchio that I become gentle.

I felt hatred as I boil with anger, one of the reason is because of me and the other is because of this demon. I felt anger for Tsuchio having been injured by such a pervert and anger to myself, I left Tsuchio to fight against such a pervert. The both of them flared up intensely and her oppoent also raised in mutual heat.

"Hey, what happened!? Fine then, I'll come to you!" Demon.

"...Aa, okay, so you are coming" Ruu.

When I sent magical power to both of my arms, the scales on my wrist burns and fired a pure white light. I hold my legs which seem to protrude at any moment by force and still saved my power.

“Hey, here I come!” Demon.

The demon strikes at me. Tsuchio risked his life to smash his left arm, so he can only attack with his right hand. His attack that merely had power isn't worth a threat. I used my left hand and swing my fist at the demon. But he has expected that and started a kick. I avoided it by moving aside and blown off the demon with my tail.

"Tch, as I expected! How about this!" Demon.

The great damage did not seem to be given and he only shakes his arm to throw out black flashes. Considering the speed of the magic and the penetration rate in a hurry it seems to be powerful. I also swing my arm and destroy his black flashes with my heat wave. Towards the surprised demon, I dashed out this time.

Cutting down the distance in an instant, I visit a knee kick with force. Though this is prevented by the leg, it has been expected. I do a complete turn and make a landing behind my opponent, the left fist is drummed into the back which pays a leg and falls. The demon who blows off again seems to have worked a little, and a back is held by hand.

"...You really are great. Even though you're alone, it's the first time that I have been cornered this much." Demon.

"It’s the first and the last for you, I’m going to have you die here" Ruu.

"Haa, I don't think so. In the first place, I wanted to fight against you!" Demon.

When declaring so, the demon fired a lot of black bullets at me while retreating at a stretch.

"Shit, I missed!" Demon.

Putting both hands together I turned my palms to the demon. Raising my magical power, I released it at a stretch.

I shot heat rays, which destroys the black bullets. It hits the demon while scooping out the ground before a great explosion was caused. To the point where the explosion fog filled densely and was cleared, the demon who has finished catching my heat ray stood up and his right arm was burned completely.

“Haahaa.... Shit, this attack to think that it had a lot of firepower.... Your magical power wasn't used up" Demon.

Although he says so, the demon erased his barrier. Stepping forward firmly, I couldn't believe that there is someone who can withstand my breath. My remaining magic isn't little, that's why cannot let that fellow go. When I am wondering whether to pursue him, the rocks under his feet coiled around his legs.

“Tss!?” Demon.

The rocks change into snakes and coil themselves around the demon one after another. His right arm was disempowered by my breath, so the demon can't do anything against the restriction.

"Nice job Ruu! Thanks to you, I was able to get this ready!" Tsuchio.

Suddenly Tsuchio called out to me from behind. Is that Tsuchio′s talismans art? However, what is going on, I could have finished that demon myself...?

"I was preparing this all the time because I couldn't use this talisman art so far. Take it carefully!"

A strong surge of magical power emits from the sky. 4 talismans circle around another talisman, which is circulating at a high speed giving it a bright shine. Below it, a pentagram star has emerged, marking the strategic point. Right above the center of the star, the surrounded talismans are enshrined.

“Devil Star-ninjutsu, fall!”

The talismans shine brightly and stronger than before, leaving a trail after it shot out. It accelerated at a stretch when it passes through the center of the pentagram star and hits the demon underneath at lightning speed.

Dogooon! An earthquake-like shock appeared before a dust cloud arises. When the smoke cleared up, the demon was cut in half by Tsuchio′s attack.

“...Shit.... I hadn't heard anything like this..." Demon.

This became the last words of the demon. The demon turned into black fog and dispersed. In his place, only a crater was left.

I, who was senile for a while heard a bump sound. Tsuchio fell down to the ground. I rushed up to him and confirmed his pulse... ‘Thank god, he is still alive.’ Did he fall down because of the overuse of his magical power?

“Uuu, I feel bad...” Tsuchio.

"Can you get up?" Ruu.

"Hmm, the pain is unbearable, I can't even faint... Aah, my side and left arm hurts really bad..." Tsuchio.

I lifted him up just like a while ago and as for the war... the end seems to be already included, let the people who move can do the rest. How are Lime and Rin doing, even when Tsuchio was about to die, they were nowhere to be seen….

“Ah, Ruu, let me collect my talismans before we return, those with the destroyed snakes” Tsuchio.

"Aren't they consumable?" Ruu.

"They are special because I used a very high-quality material. Not everything is destroyed...” Tsuchio.

The injuries of Tsuchio are severe but don't seem to be life-threatening... I never want to see such eyes from Tsuchio.

--------------------

Author note: Ruu is the first who became a human, however, I couldn't transmit it here!

War, (Comparatively) Safe rear and the strategy to depend on the heroes. Righteous government, it's righteous government. Although the main character will usually go to the rescue... it is also good, when the heroine comes to help.

It is planned that the other familiars will become humans too soon.
