Chapter 240
Butcher Demon
I descended to the ground floor of the building.
The elevator door was kicked open and the angry butcher reappeared.
âItâs!! Itâs here!!!!!!â
I drove away the startled and fleeing people, and slowly made my way to the main gate of the central headquarters building.
The snow outside seems to stop, but there is still a thin layer of snow on the ground. I stepped out into the snow carpet. The white smoke came out of my nose.
I drag a butcher knife in my hand, accompanied by the squeaking sound from my footsteps.
The noise outside has quieted.
In front of the building, soldiers surrounded me in a fan shape.
They must have been Alphaâs rapid response force. No combat vehicles in sight. All of them had only small firearms as if they had been hurriedly gathered together.
ââHeyâ¦â¦ isnât that aâ¦â¦.â
Someone said.
âItâs a Butcher! Just shut the fuck up and focus!â
Agatha lifted her hand, and they all raised their guns at once.
-If you shoot at me, Iâll kill you, okay?
I growled under my paper bag, threatening them.
Someone winced back at the tremor of the air.
âOiâ¦â¦ is that really a butcher?â
âI dunno. Have you seen a real one?â
âYeah. Iâve seen one on the battlefield before, but it wasnât like that right? It acts more like a rapid bear, rampaging and destroying everythingâ¦.notâ¦.this.â
Countless eyeballs look at me, staring intently.
ââ¦â¦ Bigfoot?â
âBeast of Gevaudanâ¦â¦ I canât believe itâs realâ¦.â
âI guess itâs true that he was killing all those corrupted higher-upsâ¦â¦.â
âAlpha!! Load your weapons and grenades! Hold your Fire!!â
The sound of steel scratching against steel.
âYou canât buy time with this, Agatha.
Oh, thatâs right.
Letâs capture that Agatha woman and ask her where Yasmin and the others were. I donât have time to properly torture her, so Iâm going to humiliate her in public.
All right, go ahead and shoot.
Right when the battle was about to beginâ¦.
âKah-kah-kah-kah-kah!!â
A dry laugh and a clattering sound came down from above.
I looked up and saw several figures standing on the rail track.
A skeleton face holding a circular shield and a long sword. A beautiful female knight with a feather decoration on her head holding a spear. A man with bandages all over his face. A pale Gothic man and woman. All of them had hoods over their heads.
The wind wasnât even blowing, but the cloaks were fluttering about, creating a strange scene.
It was definitely cool, but they looked like a group of awkward cosplayers. Is it the Addams Family? I remember watching a movie about them.
âkah-kah ï¼â â weï¼â hereï¼ï¼ï¼â ãGevaudan!â
The skeleton face is yelling and laughing loudly.
Eeeehâ¦â¦
Appearance wise, he looks like a complete lunatic, but that pronunciation is definitely alien.
Huh, how did they get in here?
I, and even the other Alpha soldiers look up at him with a puzzled expression.
And then, with a shout of âToh!â he jumped off the building.
It was about ten stories high.
ââ-Dangerous!!â
Soldiers near the landing point rushed to the side.
The skeleton face was about to crash on top of the transport bus. But just before he did, he swung his sword out.
A large arc is drawn and *boom!*
The bus separated in two and exploded into flames.
âWhoa, he just cut a big bus in half with a long sword.
Following the explosion, a group of aliens came rushing out from the gaps between the surrounding buildings.
âDamn, there are more of them as I thoughtâ¦. Donât just stand still!! fight back!!!â
At Agathaâs command, the soldiers formed up again and began firing.
There is a clash between the rasping sound of gunfire and the sound of the alienâs medieval weapon being swung.
Instantly, the scene was transformed into a chaotic battle.
âWait a minute, I donât understand whatâs going on here.
Is that alien after me? Or is it after the Fort? What should I do?
The battle was beginning to heat up, and I was left out of the loop. No one attacked me. I, who had been robbed of the leading role, was left with a sense of helpless alienation.
I think Iâll leave them alone and go look for Yasminâ¦â¦.
ãâ¦â¦ Jibodan, this way, this way!ã
A voice suddenly sounded in my mind. I turned my head to look around.
I saw Ferris poking her body out of the alley and beckoning me to come over.
I quickly escape from the battlefield and join Ferris and the others that hiding behind a building.
There, I met up with Ferris, Tiriel, Arshella.
And Lydia.
ãI came!! Itâs been a while, Gevaudan!ã
Lydia jumped on my face. I was grateful for her plump, healthy tits. I lick her navel and squeeze her ass reflexively.
ãAhnn â¡â¡ I missed you so much!ã
ãItâs been a while. How are you doing? What are you doing here? Are you no longer under house arrest?ã
Fully equipped Arshella answered with a twinkle in her eye.
ãWeâre here to help you, Gevaudan! Weâre finally at war!!ã
ãâThatâs why I can come here as a military personal! Teheheheã
ãI didnât ask for it though, but thatâs mean they areâã
Once again, I look at the battlefield.
The alien onslaught had left human soldiers lying dead. The cosplay group was outstandingly strong, especially that skeleton face guy. The cityâs alarm grew louder.
ãThat masked man is Papameyan. He is the captain of the Highland Zephyr. The others are the elite troops that Dantalion has gathered. They are all on our side so donât attack them.ã
ãIâm sorry for being selfish Jibodan. I gave the information about that underground tunnel to Dantalion-san.ã
I patted Ferris on the head as she said apologetically.
ãThatâs fine, butâ¦â¦ what are you folks planning? No matter how elite they are, they will be outnumbered. They wonât be able to take down 88 With just that many men. Besides, they canât send a large reinforcement through that underground tunnel, right?ã
The underground passage is narrow and long. If they got discovered, they will be buried alive.
ãYes, thatâs why Papameyan-sama wants to destroy the main gate in a single swoop. There are still many warriors waiting outside the city walls.ã
ãWellâ¦. do as you want.ã
I promised Abigail that Iâll do my best not to kill anyone who wasnât involved, but I didnât promise to go around helping people who were getting attacked by aliens. I just need to focus on my mission, and this chaos is good for me.
ãSo, Jibodan. Where is Yufan? Zephyr is helping us in the guise of rescuing Yufan. We have to return her.ã
ãOhâ¦â¦. thatâ¦..ã
I looked up at the towering skyscrapers behind me and felt somewhat guilty.
ãWhatâs wrong?ã
ãI threw Yufan away. I left her in the hall.ã
Then Arshella looked at me with a disapproving look.
ãOi!!? Arenât you treating her too poorly!? I told you sheâs still an eliteâoof.ã
Lydia covered Arshellaâs mouth.
ãHey hey, Gevaudan. Whereâs Abby? Is she okay?ã
ãAbigail? I think sheâs probably getting somewhere safe right now.ã
ãAnd whereâs Yakumo?ã
This time Tyriel raised her face up and asked.
ãYakumo?ã
Tiriel, do you like shota? Maybe a big sister vibe suits you? Iâd like to see a love triangle with you and Natsuki.
ãYakumo is withâ¦â¦ Natsuki, so, eh, now, I guess theyâreâã
I use my hounding to find where they are.
â¦.Are they moving?
ãâI see. It looks like they are moving around with a camper in 88. Maybe they picked up Abigail too. I think theyâre all watching us on the news together right now.ã
I think this situation is already being lived. I think they caught me earlier too. Iâll wave to them next time I see a camera.
ãOkay, okay. Then weâll go to that camper!ã
Tiriel responded to my words while twirling her fingers in a circle.
ãWhat are you going to do now, Jibodan?ã
ãWell, I donât really know. My targets are Yasmin and Garnier, but theyâre probably together, so Iâm going after Yasmin.ã
ãYasmin?ã
Arshella repeated the name, lowering her head, thinking.
ãSheâs the secret boss of the 88. I heard sheâs an alienâa person from your world.ã
ãâ¦â¦â¦â¦eh? Is that true?ã
ãIt seems that she hates Elysium, the enemy of my enemy is a friend, so she was cooperating with 88.ã
ãElysiumâ¦.enemy?ã
Arshella crossed her arms and cocked her head.
ãâWhatâs her species?ã
ãI donât know. She looked exactly like Earth human, though.ã
ãâ¦â¦Yasminâ¦â¦Hateâ¦â¦ã
And then she thought to herself. She like she had a small bone stuck in her throat. Ferris tapped her on the shoulder.
ãFirst of all, we have to get Yufan back. This is the enemyâs nest so I want Arshella to go there. Arshella is the only one who can move alone in this place.ã
ãOh, I seeâ¦â¦.butâ¦â¦ ughâ¦â¦ itâs a small roleâ¦..I really want to show off my skillsâ¦â¦haaâ¦..It canât be helpedâ¦Tell me where Yufan is, Gevaudanâ¦..ã
Arshella said, looking seriously dejected. You battle junkie.
ãOh Arshella. I think thereâs a bag where Yufan was, can you pick that for me too?ã
ãA bag? Why?ã
ãThatâs Titaniaâs handmade gift.ã
ãTitaniaâs handmadeâ¦â¦ã
ãPlease.ã
Arshella looks annoyed, I clasps my hands together in a pleading pose.
ãâTskâ¦â¦.you owe me one.ã
Arshella then flapped her wings and took off into the sky.
âI accidentally threw Yufan along with that bag, but itâs a very practical bag. It has a lot of other things too. And it was a gift, it would be terrible if I lost it.
ãThen weâll look for the camper that has Abigail and others, and Jibodanâã
Ferrisâs word snapped to a halt.
Her fox ears twitched. She seemed to have heard something.
A little later, I noticed it too.
ãSomething is coming.ã
Lydia stuck her head out and pointed to the other side of the alley.
From the other side of the dimly lit alley, I heard the sound of footsteps and a furious rumble. Then comes the sound of a heavy engine approaching.
