The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 365 Anger

The dark-skinned, blonde girl with twin ponytails made a clumsy look and acted coquettishly. Anyone who saw her would say - you are a million years too early.

however--

"gross."

Natsuki Subaru attacked the girl's soft heart with even more vicious words.

“Too much!” Liliana pretended to cry and shouted unwillingly: “Looking at a girl’s face, the first thing that comes out of your mouth is “disgusting”!? I, Liliana, have never been humiliated like this!”

But Natsuki Subaru, who was being complained about, was too tired to complain. His knees were weak and he couldn't stop shaking. His face was pale as if he had been seriously ill for three days. His pupils kept swaying, as if he had seen something unacceptable.

“Even Reinhard… what should I do?”

He mumbled something incomprehensible.

"Pleiades……?"

"what!"

Emilia showed an uneasy expression at Natsuki Subaru's sudden change of appearance. She looked at him worriedly and asked about the situation. Natsuki Subaru had a panicked expression to cover up his feelings.

"Ah, um, it's okay. Um, um... Oh right! I ate the hot pot this morning and suddenly I feel a little nauseous. My stomach feels uncomfortable..."

Is this guy kidding me?
Not to mention that he had been secretly eating the delicious stew made by Zun Zun in the morning. Only a fool would believe such a poor excuse.

"Ah, I know! I often think I'm going to burp and then throw up, or think I'm going to fart and then..."

"That's enough, stop talking! Liliana, you are a girl after all!"

Well, the goofball shows up.

After Emilia looked at Natsuki Subaru deeply, she nodded slowly and said, "I understand. Since Subaru said so, I believe you... It's a special case."

Well, Idiot Number Two is a close second.

"Thank you."

Natsuki Subaru wiped the corner of his mouth, then cheered up and said, "Well, I'll run some errands as Liliana suggested, and Emilia just enjoy the song."

Then, in order to reassure him, he did a funny gesture.

"Zun Zun, you and I will be responsible for buying food. With your taste, I'm sure the food will be delicious."

"Why should I...Okay, let's go together."

Zun Zun immediately understood the request in Natsuki Subaru's eyes, and when he realized that there was something hidden, he immediately changed his words.

The two then left the park.

Unaware of the red female, she stared at the two men's backs with a meaningful look.

----

After leaving the park and no longer seeing Emilia and the others, Zun Zun gradually slowed down his pace.

"Okay, tell me. Don't waste your time."

"It's great that you understood so quickly. Love you, Zun Zun!"

I don't know if it's because of too much pressure, or because he is usually so outspoken with Emilia, he can shamelessly say words like love and like without any psychological burden.

"No, that's not right... What love? Are you still affected? Is there any residual mental pollution?"

Then, Natsuki Subaru slapped his cheeks hard with both hands, leaving them slightly raised and swollen.

"Sorry." After calming down, he let out a breath and said, "If possible, I also have a lot of things I want to find a place where no one is around to discuss, but there is no time - there are less than 15 minutes left."

"Then let's talk as we walk."

Zun Zun turned and left.

Natsuki Subaru was stunned for a moment, then he caught up with a relieved look, and explained everything about the previous two reincarnations and his own guesses to Zun Zun.

Honestly speaking, it's more comfortable to talk to someone who knows your background. At least you don't have to cover up the source of the information with more lies because you can't explain it.

……

"Subaru, you said that we will face the wrath of the Sin Archbishop later?"

"Yes, she is a pervert."

"To be called a pervert by a pervert like you really makes people feel perverted."

"You're not praising me, are you?"

If the situation wasn't urgent, he really would have to sit down and have a good talk with Zun Zun.

However, since Natsuki Subaru was the first to point out the perverted situation, it seems that the Archbishop of Sin’s anger is indeed perverted.

"And her ability is shared emotions."

"understood."

In simple terms, shared emotions are empathy, which is the ability to allow others to experience the inner world of others through language, actions and objective factors. This ability is indispensable whether it is movies, animation or novels.

To put it more extremely, a novel with strong empathy can be a good novel no matter how bad the plot and setting are.

(Referring to a Chinese version of Harry Potter)
Once a person like the Archbishop of Sin, who abuses his power and uses his empathy to the extreme, the destructive power he brings can be imagined.

"Then I just heard Reinhard..."

"Ah, I have already looked for him."

Natsuki Subaru is reckless, but he can also take shortcuts. Lai Aotian, who is currently the ceiling of combat power, is in this city. How could he not curry favor with him?

Unfortunately, the results were far from ideal.

"Should we call Reinhard again?"

"No. Reinhard and the Sorcerer are too incompatible. His presence will greatly reduce the power of my magic. Besides, I have special moves to deal with the anger of the Archbishop of Sin, so don't worry."

"...That's great. To be honest, I really can't think of any solution, so I can only rely on your wisdom and strength." Natsuki Subaru really felt relieved.

After all, in the last reincarnation, Reinhard did kill the Archbishop of Sin, but the same way of death would also cause everyone around him to vanish, which is a problem.

It's not that they haven't considered capturing him alive, but there's no way to rule out the wrath of the Archbishop of Sin - there's a risk that Sirius will faint. If they don't handle it properly, the kingdom will be destroyed by the terrifying power of empathy.

Zun Zun and Natsuki Subaru did not waste time on the road, so there was still plenty of time left before 15 minutes.

Come to the square.

The two of them looked at a building, a spire standing deep in the square, which was particularly conspicuous in the street. The tower was inlaid with magic crystals, and it was a time tower similar to the function of a clock tower.

There are time towers in large streets and cities, and there are several in this Watergate City. Although it is an ordinary time tower that can be seen everywhere, it will no longer be ordinary because of someone's arrival.

Natsuki Subaru stared at the tower and swallowed, trying to swallow the uneasiness in his throat.

"So, Venerable, what are the tactical instructions?"

"Strike first. Strike hard when you see the enemy."

"Hey!"

"I don't have the habit of announcing my name. Also, I don't know how that guy's empathy ability is activated. If we can interrupt it before it activates, won't the others be safe?"

What you said makes so much sense, I am speechless!

Natsuki Subaru blinked.

Of course he knew that Zun Zun was a hot-tempered guy who would take off his pants in public if he disagreed with something. He didn't expect that despite his hot temper, his IQ was not low.

"Let me make it clear in advance that the Red Demons are all highly intelligent people."

"…settings, right?"

"no!"

Zun Zun rolled his eyes in annoyance.

After deciding on the direction, he saw a shadowy figure leaning out of the window of the Time Tower. The tall figure in a black robe gently stood on the edge of the tower.

Except for her eyes and teeth, which were covered by bandages, she could be seen from the outside with a pair of pointed ears, the symbol of the fairy tribe. She had silver hair, a thin black coat, and her hands were wrapped around twisted chains that dragged on the ground.

--anger.

Slowly, the weirdo Sirius opened his hands and said, even from a distance, the intoxicated look on his face could be felt even through the bandages. Then, the weirdo closed his hands with great momentum.

"Light of Saber!"

Before that, Zun Zun's first-attack magic had already been released, and lightning as thick as a bucket hit Sirius who was standing on the edge of the Time Tower.

The intense force shattered the spire, and the walls, which were definitely not fragile, collapsed, revealing the interior of the tower. A trembling little boy, tied up with chains, appeared before everyone.

"that is……!"

The moment Natsuki Subaru saw him, his expression changed, and he pretended to rush into the dangerous tower to rescue the little boy.

"Don't be impulsive, Subaru!"

"But!"

"Look around."

"Well!"

When he looked around, he found that blood vessels appeared on the scars on the faces of everyone in the square, and their bloodshot eyes were full of red light without the whites. Then, everyone made the same expression. Their faces were twisted, their teeth were exposed, and they let out a low growl.

Unbearable anger.

"What the hell..."

Natsuki Subaru's guess was totally wrong. The perverted and angry archbishop didn't need any time to activate his power. It was successfully activated the moment she appeared.

Damn, damn, damn!

Failed, failed, failed!
Natsuki Subaru held his head in pain, with endless regret and anger in his heart, and at the same time he fell into deep self-blame.

“Subaru… Subaru!? Calm down!”

Zun Zun shook his shoulders hard, trying to wake him up from his self-blame, but no matter how hard he tried, it was useless, until Zun Zun couldn't help but slapped him hard.

With a loud bang, Natsuki Subaru did a three-and-a-half turn and his head landed heavily on the floor of the square like a flowerpot.

I thought he would wake up at this point, but I didn't expect that he made a gulping sound like a wild beast in his throat, and his eyes were red as he stared at Zun Zun, no different from the passers-by around him.

At some point, Subaru Natsuki had been affected by his empathy ability.

He bent his hands slightly and made a grabbing motion, and let out a swallowing sound, as if he would pounce on Zun Zun and eat his flesh and blood in the next second.

"Really, there's nothing I can do."

There was a pop.

Natsuki Subaru only felt a coolness coming from his chest, and his eyes gradually became clear. It was obvious that his smart IQ had regained the upper hand.

Just

"Ah...ah..."

He lowered his head and saw a pitch-black lightsaber pressed against his chest, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

The clever Natsuki Subaru already knew that he had just been severely sympathized with, and then Zun Zun stabbed him hard with the black lightsaber.

He didn't blame Zun Zun.

He just summed up his failure this time, then slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the trigger of death to return.

"——I'll be able to use it next time."

Darkness gradually obscured his vision.
