"I refuse."
I told Frangulas very clearly.
"I am against the Hero Yuno and co. But I have no intention of joining the demon side."
"That's a shame."
The beautiful vampire princess sighed with a melancholy look on her face.
She was strikingly beautiful, but that didn't mean she could make me move.
"How about we cooperate where our interests are aligned?"
"What a persistent fellow."
"......Would you like me to disappear?"
Frangulas took a step back.
But it was still about eight meters away from me.
It was within the range of [Fixed Damage].
If I identify her as an enemy, my skills will be activated at that moment.
It doesn't matter if she's a vampire's true ancestor, she can't withstand 9999 damage.
Even if she has some way to withstand it, and even if she decides to strike back, Shea and Yurin are here to protect me.
The effect of the [Fixed Damage] skill is that it continues to deal 9999 damage the moment the enemy enters the range and every three seconds thereafter.
If she can withstand it once or twice, it won't last long.
There's no way that Frangulas can win.
──Shall I do?
At the very moment when I was thinking of declaring Franjulas an enemy.
"Skill [Demonic Beast Transformation]."
Her whole body was enveloped in a black blur.
At the same time, her body was transformed into a myriad of bats.
The swarm of bats moved away from me with a super-fast flap of their wings.
The effect of the [Fixed Damage] was momentarily slow, and did not seem to reach Frangulas.
The countless bats gathered in the air and returned to her original beautiful form.
Looked like that she is indeed the true ancestor of vampires and has a wide variety of abilities.
"You think you can get away with that?"
I extended a black chain from my right hand.
"There's someone in our hideout that you're looking for. Would you like to meet that person?"
Frangoulas landed.
"And also──some hints on how to further cultivate your powers."
Her smile deepened.
......this wench.
The chain I extended to restrain her──I stoped it.
I have to admit, I was a little fascinated.
So, what do I do now?
I pondered.
Of course, I have no intention of joining with the demon side against humanity.
I just need the power to ensure that I get my revenge.
I'm sure I can beat Margo and Fara without a problem, but Yuno is a different story.
Even though he was overwhelmed in the last confrontation, he still defeated the Demon King and has the [Light].
There's no guarantee that he won't awaken to some kind of power at the last minute, and I don't even know what kind of secret technique he has in the first place.
I should be prepared for anything, after all.
"...... All right, show us the way."
"Chrome-sama?"
Shea and Yulin shouted at the same time.
"Don't worry. We're not taking sides with the demons."
We just need to find out.
Whether they're worth using or not.
──I've heard that the remnants of the Demon King's army have hideouts all over the country.
Their headquarter was in the Luphus Empire, but it had already fallen after being attacked by the hero Yuno, the female swordsman Fara, and the knight Margo.
I've heard that a high-ranking demon, Lagios, who was protecting it, had been defeated.
Here, we were taken to a different hideout.
It was a few kilometers away from the previous location, in the middle of a mountain.
There was a hidden door in the back of a natural cave, and a vast dungeon spread out over there.
Then, in the deepest part of it──
"Welcome to our base."
In a huge hall-like room, Franguras smiled.
There are two chairs that resemble thrones.
The executives of the remnants of the Demon King's army──so I guess those belong to Lagios and Frangulas.
......The most important thing to remember is that Lagios is a huge dragon, so he can't sit in such a chair.
So it had been set up just as a mere decoration.
And.
"Humans......"
"No, there's also a demon in there......"
"I feel a similar smell to us......."
Countless red lights lit up in the darkness.
Those were the eyes of the demons.
"Hee, that doesn't mean they're allowed in here!"
One of them came towards us.
It was a wolf-shaped demon about five meters long.
"Gaha....AAAAAAAAA......"
The moment it got within 10 meters of me, it sprayed blood and died.
"Sorry. he seems to be frenzied."
A roar echoed from above me.
A huge dragon was standing there.
"You are──"
The blue dragon, Lagios.
Like Franguras, it was one of the thirteen executives of the Demon King's Army.
In addition, according to Harold's story earlier, this guy should have already been defeated by Yuno.......
"Isn't it awfully negligence to attack your 'guest' out of the blue?"
I said, pushing aside my inner doubts.
"I'm so sorry about what happened."
Lagios apologized honestly.
"Our organization is still in the process of restructuring. So our personnel is still mix of wheat and chaff."
Well, most of the Demon Lord's army had been defeated by Yuno and co.
"Are you successfully brought that person here? Is that person over there the host of the [Darkness] to counter Yuno?"
The sound of footsteps was approaching along with that voice.
Then, a knight clad in full-body armor appeared from the darkness.
"You are──"
I opened my eyes in surprise.
Why are you in this place?
Why are you, a member of the Hero party here, at the base of the demons──?
"Margo......!"
"Chrome......?"
Like me, Margo was also looking at me with a surprised expression.
