Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

The trembling had spread throughout his body, and his arms could no longer support his weight. Subaru forced himself to stand up, his knees now swaying precariously, a chilling weariness making him want to vomit.

He seemed to have finally found the reason for his inexplicable deaths in the last cycle, but why? Was it some kind of curse?

Who is it from? Could it be the devil who made the deal with me?

Subaru's first thought was of the devil with whom he had made a deal, but he quickly dismissed the idea. It was pointless; if the devil could easily curse him to death, then all his resistance and plans would be a complete joke.

After all, his biggest "cheat code" was an established fact that could be easily exposed in the eyes of the other party. He had also asked Emilia and Betty, whether they were magicians or elves. They knew that witches knew about magical beasts and dragons, but that demons did not exist in this world...

This suggests that the other party is likely an extraordinary being compared to oneself and even the entire world; therefore, considering the possibility that it was someone who plotted against oneself is the least meaningful approach...

Speaking of which, did he come to me when I died last time? I shouldn't have called his name when I died in my dream, right? And...

The pounding of his heart subsided, his breathing grew increasingly rapid, and even his attempts to distract himself from thinking could not alleviate the weakness and pain that felt as if his internal organs were melting.

On his deathbed, he thought of Emilia. He crawled on the ground like a maggot, and as his breathing gradually weakened, only his hearing suddenly became extremely sensitive.

He heard the sound of someone dragging a chain, and the next second, the impact sent him flying. His whole body lurched violently, his body, which had been lying on the ground, was blown away and bounced several times on the ground. Only after his face slid across the ground did he realize that he had been subjected to some kind of massive impact.

Who, and why? Who attacked me inside the mansion?!

His remaining thoughts were insufficient to comprehend anything, for he saw his left side, from the shoulder down, fly off. Staring at his missing left half, the pain finally surged forth like a tidal wave.

A desire for death surged within him in an instant, but he also resisted this death, and—he also wanted to find out who, who exactly killed him?

Before the sound of chains could be heard again and the skull could be completely shattered, Natsuki Subaru finally called out that name once more.

"Thrush...River"

Subaru Natsuki's head was smashed to pieces like a watermelon, while Rem, the maid who had done it, coldly put away her flail.

"A suspicious fellow, is he planning to assassinate Lady Emilia in the middle of the night? Let's get rid of him first, report to our sister, and then—"

900>>>>

But the next moment, right before Rem's wide eyes, Subaru Natsuki, whose head had been smashed and half of his body removed, was not even a corpse but rather a mutilated body, slowly stood up!

"Ugh, you're already this badly injured on the second try? What a troublesome brat."

A completely different sound came from his mouth, and then the next second, all his injuries, including his brain, began to heal as if time had reversed.

"You really are a spy for the Witch Cult!!!" Rem's eyes instantly filled with murderous intent as she roared and slammed her flail down again!

But at this moment, her attack couldn't touch the person in front of her at all. 'Ang' smiled, raised a finger, looked at her, and tilted his head.

“Miss, while I understand your desire to deal with suspicious individuals, isn’t it a bit excessive to kill your master’s partner’s subordinates and your colleagues without even asking why?”

"Shut up, you—" Rem said with disgust, but before she could finish speaking, her head disappeared.

"Alright, now that we've gotten rid of the person who killed you, let's torture that brat from the village that cursed you to death."

Tsurugi twisted her neck, and amidst the groans emanating from within her, looked towards the end of the corridor, towards the reappearing Ram, a playful look on her face.

"Or are you planning to have me deal with everyone in this mansion for you first?"

901

620. [Re:0] You will summon me...

"Rem... Rem!!!"

Seeing the maid Ram screaming as she ran towards her sister's headless corpse, Tsugumi cracked her neck and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

During the time he was inside Subaru's body watching the show, he had already grown tired of this pink-haired girl.

The reason for my dissatisfaction? Just as he said, the two of them were just maids.

The owner of this mansion is that clown-like magician, and Subaru is completely unaware that the magician also harbors a strange scheming and covetousness towards him.

However, that's irrelevant. The key issue is the two maids' autocratic behavior. To put it another way, Natsuki Subaru is their colleague. How could they hit him on the head just because he smells like an enemy they hate, and then smash his head over their head when they see him crawling on the ground like maggots?

Not to mention that he was Emilia's partner, a friend of their boss's business partner, yet she still acted arbitrarily and killed him.

"Shut up, you pink-haired old hag who only knows how to breathe on people! You all deserve to die!" Tsurugi said to the Ang inside her, laughing as she grabbed Ram's neck.

"This time, I'll ask for your opinion: should we kill everyone in this mansion? Including this ungrateful, useless maid who breathes on people indiscriminately, and that clown-like fellow."

"You really are...."

"Please, don't do this!"

Ang pleaded in his heart. His memory returned immediately after death, and he remembered the result of his last call to Dongjiang!

By then, he was already capable of fighting Reinhard and had even nearly destroyed the entire capital—he had no doubt that this demon could destroy everything in this mansion with his own body!

"Alright, alright, I'll heed the request of our great savior this once. Anyway, she wasn't involved in framing you this time."

Tsuruga casually shoved Ram aside, laughing as she watched Ram's terrified, disgusted, and hateful gaze.

"Just watch and see. I reckon after a few more times—no, given this idiot's overly self-centered behavior, next time I'll turn you and your master to dust."

"And now—only three minutes left, I have to speed things up, I can't let that brat get away."

Having said that, he instantly broke through the mansion's wall, his hands forming hand seals to release a spell.

Warlock's Cyclic Rotation - "Azure"

The next moment, he arrived above Alam Village at an incredible speed.

"Why did you come here?"

"Idiot, you're cursed, and it was done by those brats in this village," Tsugumi said bluntly.

"The one who attacked you was that blue-haired brat who was holding that bald dog for half a day. The bite he took into your body injected a curse into you."

"Ah, it's gone. It seems it really did disappear very quickly. But it's okay, having a general area is enough."

Having said that, he formed a hand seal and released a spell.

The forward rotation of the technique "Cang" + the reverse rotation of the technique "He" = the virtual technique "Zi"!

The next second, energy waves formed by the deep purple imaginary mass gathered in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the energy of the azure instantly swept through the forest, indiscriminately destroying everything in its path!

With such a commotion, the mansion naturally wouldn't remain silent. Just as the four-minute mark was up, Roswaal's voice, deliberately mimicking someone else's, rang out.

"Oh my, Ang-kun, you never said you had this level of dark magic~~~~"

Tsurugi glanced sideways at the clown floating beside him and at Ram, who was staring at him with hatred in his arms, and laughed.

“One minute isn’t enough for a fight. No, I could try something interesting.”

He pressed his hand to his heart and said jokingly.

"Subaru Natsuki's ability is Return by Death, which allows him to..."

In the next instant, countless shadowy hands appeared out of thin air and, to Roswaal and Ram's frozen expressions, crushed their hearts.

Of course, the first thing I squeezed was Subaru Natsuki's heart.

"Wow, it's obvious she really loves you." Tsugumi clutched her heart, which was about to be crushed, and looked with great interest at the special product that had suddenly appeared in her body, similar to the high-speed power.

"Witch, a factor of the Seven Deadly Sins? Interesting, worth exploring as a sample."

Natsuki Subaru couldn't understand the meaning of Tsugumi, but what he felt at that moment was a fear and pain that he couldn't erase no matter what he did.

"—What, what's going on? Why does this happen when I talk about my abilities with others? Why?"

Unable to comprehend any of this, Natsuki Subaru wailed. He seemed to hear a dark figure embracing him, professing 'love' that terrified him.

But Tsugumi didn't answer, after all, he didn't know the answer either. In the last thirty seconds, with his heart completely crushed, Tsugumi swiftly arrived at the location of the blue-haired girl, Meili.

At this moment, her hands and feet had been devoured by the monster. Lying in a pool of blood, she stared in terror at Subaru descending. Before she could speak, a sense of loss spreading from her heart began to shriek.

901 >>

"So that's how it is. You were ordered by your so-called mother to gather information? You're in cahoots with that female assassin. Wow, isn't this ability some kind of transformation from nothingness?"

Tsugumi ruthlessly toyed with Merry's soul, extracting the information she wanted. Finally, amidst her dying, pleading eyes, she smiled and initiated a passive transformation of her.

"This is what you're most afraid of, isn't it? Then, before this cycle begins, savor that fear..."

He instantly transformed her body into countless mosquitoes, and as they scattered, her soul immediately experienced the extreme fear of being completely separated and unable to return.

"No, no, no, no, I'm scared, scared, scared, scared—"

Dongjiang listened to Meili's screams without feeling any pity—he might indeed feel pity for a cute little girl, but a little beast who drove monsters to kill indiscriminately was definitely not in that category.

"Who exactly are you—"

In the final five seconds, seemingly realizing she couldn't kill Subaru Natsuki no matter what she did, the Witch of Jealousy, the master of those shadowy hands lurking behind the scenes, questioned him in a voice filled with murderous intent and fear.

"Me? Just a mere demon." Tsurugi laughed, using an old joke, before detaching from her body.

"Subaru Natsuki's death this time was ultimately due to his complete lack of vigilance and his complete unawareness that this was a magical other world!"

In the world of consciousness, Natsuki Subaru stared blankly as Tsugumi tapped the blackboard, solemnly summarizing his strategy.

"When you died in your sleep last time, you should have inquired more about similar magic. And you weren't vigilant enough; you weren't careful enough with children!"

"And, he still can't shake his bad habit of being self-centered. He gained trust the first time when he knew nothing, but the second time, because of this 'skill,' he was met with suspicion and hostility!"

"...Why?" Ang asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean, 'why'? Explain yourself clearly." Tsugumi pushed up her glasses.

"How could you kill so many people without batting an eye?!" Subaru Natsuki stood up, his face contorted with rage as he demanded.

"That's because I can!" Tsugumi said with a look that said, 'Are you an idiot?'

"And in the end, if it's not like you'll just die and come back, what difference does it make if you kill them? It's just another chance to do it again."

"What do you take human life for?!" Ang demanded excitedly.

"What do you think your life is?" Tsugumi retorted jokingly.

He looked at Subaru Natsuki's stunned face and said slowly...

“I respect your choice and stance. Yes, you want to repay that elf girl, so you risk your life. But all lives are equal. At least in my opinion, those who kill should be prepared to be killed.”

“That oni girl named Rem, since she wanted to kill you, it’s perfectly reasonable for you to kill her too.”

"I don't need you to avenge me!"

"You don't need it, but I do," Tsugumi sneered.

“To me, you are this body, my ‘observation window.’ In fact, I can also feel what you see and feel, so that girl is actually infringing on my interests.”
