Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Chapter 622: Roya's Counterattack

Under the night sky, Misaki Town was completely silent.

Just like rumors that can spread by wind, they often have real sources and examples as references in order to be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The reason why rumors of night vampires suddenly appeared in this suburb that has nothing to do with fashion and trend is not just because of the negligence of a certain Miss Ji.

The recent serial murders are the source of everything.

After experiencing the turmoil of the Fifth Holy Grail War, with the cooperation of the Magic Association and the Church, the officials who had received a lot of information had deliberately suppressed the news of this death with tooth holes on the neck of the corpse as a supernatural event.

Although the people are slow to react due to blind obedience and lack of information, they also have unique wisdom.

After hearing that there was a lot of noise on a nearby street last night and the news started reporting a gas explosion, they spontaneously left work and school early without anyone reminding them.

Because of this, even though it was only eight o'clock in the evening, the windows of the building became dark.

There were no pedestrians on the road, and when a car occasionally drove by with its headlights on, it seemed to be rushing to the Akina Mountain for racing.

"Da da--"

And in such a quiet night, the sound of crisp footsteps rang out at an inopportune time.

It is the duty of every generation of the head of the Tono family to ensure that supernatural events do not interfere with the secular world in the Misaki area.

Although her branch family and teachers performed this task when she was young, she has been doing it herself since she gained the ability to prove that she is worthy of the title.

So, after Amber sorted out the intelligence and deduced the attackers' lair, Toono Akiha attacked directly.

The girl walked alone on the path leading to the commercial street, her face stern and her dark eyes like a bottomless pool of water.

However, such an ungrateful enemy was not a reason for her to remain so indifferent.

Although she was not taught to be elegant at all times, she was designated as the head of the family since she was young. As a girl who had always received a gifted education, she also had a competitive mentality, especially after the changes in her family.

Even when facing an enemy with bad intentions, she would maintain perfect etiquette.

The real reason that made Toono Akiha so irritated and solemn was just a very simple reason.

"I haven't seen the teacher for two days..."

She murmured to herself.

Although this kind of role that pulls the child out of the quagmire of distress can easily become a reliable adult.

But this obviously has nothing to do with Roland.

His original timeline comes from later generations. Compared with the conservative social atmosphere in Japan, his personality is already unruly. After the confidence brought by power and further spiritual liberation, he becomes even more independent and has always maintained a close relationship with Tono Akiha as both a teacher and a friend.

In fact, until she entered high school, the girl still called him brother.

However, as her thinking gradually matured, after accidentally breaking in and witnessing Roland and his twin maids doing unspeakable things, out of some adolescent girl's thoughts, Toono Akiha arbitrarily fixed the title of teacher.

However, she immediately regretted it.

Because such angry behavior cannot change the current situation at all, it only adds unnecessary shackles to herself.

She was vaguely aware of her own feelings and soon realized this, but her self-esteem did not allow her to flatter her as enthusiastically as her good friend Amber.

Therefore, recently, Toono Akiha has been troubled by the irritability growing in his heart.

It even got to the point where I couldn't find peace of mind even in my dreams.

——As soon as I close my eyes, those clear scenes will appear before my eyes.

No matter Amber's charming moans, Emerald's flushed face, or even Roland's heavy breathing.

No...

After thinking about it for a moment, I felt that strange sound ringing in my ears again.

Toono Akiha shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

She was looking for an opportunity to break the deadlock, so she would rather work overtime at night than give up the time she spent with Roland in the student union.

So after learning that the other party was paying attention to the vampire rumors, she prepared to use this as an excuse to go on a night out with the teacher in the name of guidance to get closer to him.

Unexpectedly, when she went to invite Roland excitedly yesterday, she found out that he did not come to school and was nowhere to be seen today.

But this was an important matter that could not be delayed, so after finding the enemy's lair, she could only act alone.

it's a pity.

Obviously, there is a chance to fight together, but the trump card to warm up the relationship is to pretend to be scared or careless and fall into the teacher's arms with a clear conscience...

Suddenly, Toono Akiha, who was immersed in his own delusion, stopped and looked at the street ahead.

At first glance, it looked like the entrance to the underworld, with countless dead souls floating in it. The sound of the wind was their resentful howls and wails, which was chilling.

Although there was no barrier to repel people, an inexplicable feeling of heaviness still arose and spread in all directions.

Even if there were ignorant people passing by, in this creepy atmosphere, they would probably be too scared to move or run away without looking back.

“…Is this the place?”

But looking at this horrifying scene, a sneer appeared on Tono Akiha's lips.

"You are obviously crouching in the corner like wild animals, but you can't hide your restless thoughts. This behavior that neither side accepts is really in line with you, the tragic dead."

"However, even if you are such a lowly creature, you shouldn't be so incompetent as to show up in your own territory."

The slender and frail girl gently lifted the hair beside her ear.

Her long, smooth black hair was slightly lifted behind her, swaying in the wind.

"—So, what are you waiting for?"

As Tono Akiha finished her words, densely packed, shining pupils lit up in the deep darkness.

It was as if the bats hanging upside down in the cave were suddenly awakened.

A series of eyes filled with animality and impulse were fixed firmly on Toono Akiha.

Then, in the wriggling darkness, the color that had already merged with it also arched up, like a rising ocean in the night.

They were monsters that looked like human beings, but had hideous faces and twisted teeth exposed, or in other words... the leftovers.

Although the church calls this kind of existence Dead Apostles, it is not easy to reach this level. Unless one is gifted, most people are just zombies who cannot even think.

Being able to become a half-vampire like Stoneface, a Night Stalker with abilities beyond the human body, is already the limit for ordinary people.

Tono Akiha's words were like a sharp blow to these beasts that barely possessed intelligence.

Seeing the prey delivered to their doorstep, they dared to be so provocative. They had been hungry and thirsty for several days because of humans' cowering, and now they could no longer bear it.

They filed out one after another, not forgetting to squeeze out sharp and hoarse howls from their throats.

However, unlike the long, distant and loud howls of wolves before hunting, perhaps because their throats were rotten, the voices of these zombies were as harsh and sharp as nails scratching on a blackboard, extremely unpleasant.

But it doesn't matter.

Because the heavy footsteps drowned them out the next moment.

"Bam—!"

Starting with a gust of rapid wind, the undead wandering in the darkness used their hands and feet to run like four-legged beasts.

Just like the scene in a horror movie where zombies are released from a cage, the zombies, with no sense of formation, rushed forward blindly, not missing any gap they could find, and filled the street completely.

Before they came into contact with Tono Akiha, many of the ghouls' withered arms were broken by the squeezing and trampling of their companions, turning into a pool of meat paste.

"Boom boom boom——!"

There was another roar.

Under such a disorganized but fierce tactic, the concrete-supported wall finally couldn't hold on, and soon there were criss-crossing cracks, and finally it collapsed with a loud bang.

Fragments of varying sizes exploded, accompanied by a violent storm, like a rain of arrows covering the sky on a battlefield.

But surrounded by this dangerous front like a tidal wave, the girl standing at the end of the street did not waver at all. Not to mention the expression of fear or nervousness, she did not even take a step back.

This abnormal scene made the night demons hiding among the zombies to protect themselves feel that something was wrong.

Although they don't have any special powers yet, these lucky few have regained their human personalities and intelligence, so they allowed the zombies to pounce on them, using these small fish to confuse their vision, distract the attention of the girl who seemed to be hunting them specifically, and consume her strength.

I didn't expect that at this point, the other party still had no intention of taking out any props or making any moves to prepare, but just stood there quietly.

The night demons could not judge whether this reaction was a sign of confidence or a desperate wait for death, but because they had no understanding of the mystery, many people still felt awe at this anomaly.

So, a few smart ones immediately decided to retreat and prepare to rush out of the zombie swarm from the side.

Looking at this funny scene, as if feeling happy that her hard work was not in vain, Tono Akiha pursed her thin red lips and revealed a joyful smile.

"It seems that they are not worthless opponents. That's great... It would be too disappointing if I made a special trip and only defeated some weak fish."

In the devil's cave filled with countless rotten and twisted monsters, the girl with a calm smile on her pretty face was as dazzling as a noble and bright peony.

In the face of this breathtaking beauty, even the roars of the zombies seemed to be frightened and stopped abruptly.

Only Tono Akiha's clear voice continued to echo.

"Unfortunately, it's too late to escape now."

Toono Akiha raised his head and opened his palms forward.

In the palm of her hand, a bright light suddenly burst out, burning like a flame.

"go to hell."

As Tono Akiha's voice fell, the light spread at a speed that was no less than that of the corpses.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery seemed to have turned into a mirage, swaying and gradually distorted.

The temperature of the air also rose rapidly.

Even the corpses with dull senses could feel their skin gradually getting hotter.

Then, with this feeling as the trigger, the illusion suddenly became reality, and raging flames came out of the zombie's mouth and nose, turning it into a human-shaped torch in less than half a second.

The next moment, the flames that seemed to be contagious turned the entire group of corpses into a sea of ​​red fire.

Seeing this, the few night demons that rushed to the top of the zombie group frowned.

The opponent's trump card is just to ignite the enemy with fire?

Such an attack from the inside out might be very scary for humans, and could also restrain zombies, but it was not a fatal threat to night demons with superb recovery abilities.

As long as you kill the caster before you are burned to death, you can heal your injuries by continuing to suck his blood.

When they thought of this, several Night Demons revealed resentment and anger of being deceived on their faces.

But before they could turn around, they tore the arrogant girl to pieces.

"Puff-"

The corpses howling in pain in the flames fell to the ground like wheat being cut. The flames on their bodies gradually went out, revealing their bodies that were no different from charred charcoal.

"What……"

The night demons were slightly stunned.

Even if it was a cold zombie, it wouldn't be able to go out so quickly after being ignited like this.

Moreover, in such a short period of time, the rotten body turned into dry charcoal. Such a speed was too abnormal... Wait, why were the flames on the zombies extinguished, but the flames on their bodies have not yet ignited?

Thinking of this, the leading Night Demon subconsciously lowered his head and wanted to check his body.

However, with just such a simple action, his head was like a fragile biscuit. It broke away from the neck with a crackling sound and hit the charcoal below, turning into ashes along with it.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he vaguely peeked at the falling head and sensed the tip of the iceberg of the opponent's power.

I saw that a thin layer of frost had formed on the surface of his body that fell down right after him.

It turned out that before being ignited, his body had lost all vitality.

"What a pathetic prop..."

Seeing the night demon dying with its eyes open, Toono Akiha said softly.

As a family that has integrated the blood of ghosts, if the non-human blood is thick enough, it will show corresponding talents, that is, super powers.

As a genius who was designated as the head of the family since childhood, she possesses a special ability called Kanfa.

When she spreads out this invisible hair, she can use it as a medium to take away the heat of others and convert it into her own heat, or use this heat to burn the target.

In other words, burning is only an external appearance, and freezing is the essence of this ability.

As for the rising temperature around her, it was merely the result of the demonic blood in her body being stimulated.

Because it is very useful, Tono Akiha often uses it to confuse the enemy.

But the girl had no intention of hiding it.

The Toono family has been passed down for many generations. Based on the performance of past patriarchs and combat power, even if one is not clear about the inside story, it is not difficult to discover that the characteristics of Toono's blood represent the Flame Scorched demon species.

Therefore, from the fact that these zombies remained ignorant until their death, it can be seen that they were just pawns being used.

The number of zombies that could crush the streets was too abnormal. There were even a few night demons mixed in that were able to break away from the group to hunt. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for them to gather together so peacefully.

This was clearly the handiwork of the dead to turn them into this.

"You're hiding your head and showing your tail, aren't you ready to come out?"

Standing on the street where you could hear a pin drop, Tono Akiha looked around and said in a cold voice.

There was undisguised disgust and contempt on her pretty face.

"Or is it that a demonstration of this magnitude has frightened you, who can only survive?"

"Ho ho ho..."

At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded.

"It seems that I did underestimate you. Although you are a local force in this remote land, you have still won recognition from the Magic Association in modern times. It turns out that you still have some merits."

A pale figure walked out from the other end of the street, stepping on the coke.

Hands and feet wrapped in bandages.

From the chest exposed by the blue kimono, one can vaguely see a skinny body like that of an old man. The shape of the collarbone is outlined, but the body does not look decadent, but rather full of vitality.

The pale man raised his head, revealing a face that Tono Akiba was very familiar with.

"four seasons?"

Tono Akiha narrowed his eyes and quickly identified who those familiar traces belonged to.

That was the appearance of her brother Toono Shiki, who turned into a demon when she was a child and went berserk.

"That's too cold. We're siblings who haven't seen each other for years, but you call me in such a strange way."

The figure spread his hands and laughed.

In contrast to his body, his voice seemed to have the accent of a teenager, but his tone was strange and cruel.

"But that's fine. After all, there's still some emotion left in this body. I don't want to bear this name anymore. Miss Tono, just call me Roya."

"Next, without further delay"

Luo Ya raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand towards the vigilant Tono Akiba, and revealed a ferocious smile.

“Reverse it——!”
