The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

An ominous buzzing sound reached his ears, and Cole's body slowly floated up from the ground.

("Mortal, you will pay the price for your words.")

As if sinking into water, the fierce psionic energy squeezed Cole's chest, making it difficult for him to exhale and unable to breathe.

"Heh, cough cough..."

Kakaka...

The bones inside the body that were already broken made a chilling cracking sound at this moment.

dying.

I can't remember who kept emphasizing to me, but they stubbornly insisted that I must remember to smile when taking photos.

At the last moment, Cole didn't want to look the monster in the eye anymore. He disregarded exposing his Adam's apple, raised his head high, and swallowed the blood that welled up in his throat.

Goo!

With the last bit of strength left in his chest, Cole exhaled his last breath and said hoarsely:

"Cough cough... Octopus head, someone will avenge us, you will definitely die!"

(“Inferior races, I await them to come to me.”)

I know!

Not only his chest, but now even his head was being imprisoned by the ever-increasing spiritual power. Cole, who was suffocating, could no longer speak and could only complain in his mind.

Tsk, what boring octopuses! No wonder you all look like those hopeless creatures who can't find women...

Wait, don't mind flayers reproduce asexually?

So, it's still hermaphroditic?

"I'm still better than it, at least I have a wife... I used to have one."

Feeling the air being forcefully expelled from his lungs, even mental fortitude couldn't help Cole.

"However, it's still thinking about torturing me, heh... It seems it's good that it doesn't understand the Watchers' abilities."

You, a superhuman being who calls yourself a superior race, probably wouldn't understand the true terror of that enormous machine that is constantly and eagerly watching the entire world.

"However, it feels terrifying when you're at odds with the Watchers, but it's really reassuring when they become your allies."

Cole wasn't worried at all about whether someone would seek revenge; he was certain someone would handle it.

quickly.

Once the Watchers detect anything amiss, their retaliation will come much, much faster than you can imagine!

Those voyeurs only make you feel exceptionally safe at times like this.

Hold your head high and smile at fate!

card!

Cole didn't even feel the pain because he didn't know which bone in his body broke after it couldn't hold on any longer. He was on the verge of losing consciousness.

With his entire body compressed, Cole's eyes naturally rolled upwards as he tilted his head back.

At that moment, from his perspective, he could see the anomaly appearing on the ceiling above him.

It seemed as if a white shadow with two wings on its back flashed by.

Oh, it's an angel coming to pick me up...

"...Huh? An angel!?"

Cole: Hmm?

???

Cole's eyes widened suddenly, and as if in a final burst of energy, he looked behind the Mind Flayer!

How could there be angels there?!

The Mind Flayer remained unmoved by Cole's reaction.

I believe that it has no intention of turning back, because there is nothing behind it.

("Foolish trick, do you think such a childish trick will fool me? How foolish.")

He's right.

!

!

Just then, a calm voice suddenly sounded from behind the Mind Flayer.

winter.

Without hesitation, the Mind Flayer gathered all its psionic energy and unleashed all its power backward as it turned its head!

(“Psionic Blast!”)

(“Psychic shock!”)

Unleashing its full power of psychic energy, the Mind Flayer launched a direct attack on the enemy behind it.

The person who can appear silently in your psionicly-filled room must be very dangerous.

It should not be underestimated.

However, despite all the preparations made by the Mind Flayer at this moment, it failed to achieve its intended effect.

The Awakened One, who appeared silently behind them, showed no sign of anything amiss. Instead, he used his spear to pierce through the Mind Flayer's torso, making a clean cut through it.

what?

Clang!

He charged forward with the spear pierced with mind-stealers, pinning it directly to the wall!

boom!

Amidst the smoke and dust, the angel's actions were brutal, yet his tone was eerily calm.

He gazed at the mind flayer's eye and said:

"You will all die."

The words, spoken with utter indifference and an air of superiority, sounded more like a judgment made as a matter of course.

Pronounce their crimes.

Judge their sins!

The judge, who arrived at the last minute, repeated:

"They will all die."

death.

Blood debt...

Only blood will pay!

"Cough cough cough, ha—cough cough!"

Having escaped the mind flayer's psychic control, Cole, who had fallen to the ground, gasped for breath and looked over with difficulty.

"Masks, the Inquisition? The Watchers... really that fast!?"

Reinforcements!

With his back to Cole, leaving only his silhouette, the judge raised his other hand and gripped the enemy's jaw tightly.

Then Cole heard something that stunned him.

The reinforcements, whose faces were not yet visible, suddenly spoke earnestly to the enemy:

"This is your last photo, so when you're facing the camera..."

Cole: ?

What is he saying?

Why are you suddenly bringing this up now?

Before Cole could figure it out, the reinforcements who had rescued him took a further step, releasing the spear from his right hand.

With his fingers held together like a knife, he thrust his palm, imbued with blindingly bright power, into the monster's eye socket with the most brutal force, like a blade.

Aa ...

!

The tentacles on its head trembled violently and thrashed wildly. The monster, which had been arrogant and domineering in front of Cole, now resembled a helpless child struggling in pain.

like water off a duck's back.

Holding its opponent firmly in place, the angel spoke softly amidst the extraordinary creature's mournful wails:

"Smile."

Cole: !

?

???

These are reinforcements... right?

goo.

Swallowing hard, Cole shifted his position on the ground somewhat uncertainly.

These are reinforcements, right?

?

……

……

Unaware of what Cole, whom he had rescued, was thinking, Ning Feng was not in the mood for that; he had more important things to do.
