From now on, the vampire girl escapes from the world

Page 257

"Maybe... is it a test?" Coco thought of this possibility.

Do you want to rescue this girl from the chains yourself?

until--

“—Squeak.”

240. Physical Dismemberment

Squeak? ...

Coco subconsciously turned around and found that the door she had entered through was closed so gently.

what happened?

Obviously no one had touched it... but it was as if someone had come in.

Coco took a step back cautiously and moved to Lily's side.

I glanced at Lily with some worry...but I felt the little body beside me twitching faintly.

"?!"

However, when I looked more closely, there was still no movement as before.

Coco, who was a little doubtful, put her little hands on Lily's body and pinched her, but the girl didn't move.

“Is this an illusion…?”

Coco thought so.

But he couldn't completely get rid of the thought of Lily's twitching that he saw out of the corner of his eye from his mind.

The throbbing in my heart became more and more obvious, which only made me feel more and more uneasy and panicky.

The door was also closed...what does this mean?

Won't let you go out?

Coco slowly waded through the red sea again and walked to the door.

I tried to open it, but it seemed as if the door was welded shut, and no matter how hard I pushed or pulled, it wouldn't budge.

I can't get out anymore.

Does this mean that before the test is completed... there is no way out?

Coco looked back carefully.

But suddenly I found that Lily's eyelashes hanging on the wall... trembled slightly.

...You read that right.

Absolutely, I am not seeing things.

Coco was very sure.

There was no wind in the room either.

That was definitely proof that Lily was still alive... and even conscious.

"Lily!"

Coco's footsteps were hurried, and the bright red on the ground was trampled and splashed on Coco's calves.

“Lily, Lily!!!”

Coco ran to Lily and pinched her arm again, even pointed her mouth into Lily's ear and shouted.

However, Lily remained as a puppet without any reaction, and even thought it was definitely an illusion again.

No...it can't be an illusion...

"Why... can't I wake up!" Coco, at a loss, put her little hands on Lily's eyes and frantically pried open Lily's tightly closed eyes.

...Coco was suddenly stunned.

The pupils, which were originally clear and sparkling, and decorated with lavender, were now scattered and dim.

Like a transparent gem, beautiful but lifeless.

I don't even know...if he's alive.

"How...how did it become like this..."

Not to mention that he still had no idea how to get Lily off the chains.

This state... even if I rescued him...

What should I do next...

"bass--"

The tiny sound was abrupt, like metal being unsheathed.

Coco turned her head immediately.

Then, the pupils suddenly shrank involuntarily:

"……what is that?"

…There was no one else in the room.

of course.

However... there were just a few lonely metal spikes floating in the air in the room.

I don't know what kind of magic it is or where it comes from...

To do some magic.

Looking at the light flashing towards herself and Lily, Coco subconsciously wanted to step away.

However, the next moment, those thin metal spikes suddenly shot out -

Coco subconsciously closed her eyes, lowered her head and protected her head with her hands.

"Pfft-"

——After noticing that she didn’t feel any pain, Coco let go of her hand and opened her eyes.

"fine?……"

Looking to the side——

"Eh?……"

The flashing spikes passed over Coco who was holding her head.

But it penetrated into Lily's tender wrists and ankles, slender arms and calves without any hindrance.

From those delicate wounds...gradually, bright red overflowed.

Finally, it flows along the fair skin and over the tender calves.

It dripped down from the drooping toes onto the ground.

Finally, it merged into... the red ocean on the ground.

“Li…Li…?”

Even the strength to make a sound seemed to be swallowed up by this scene.

I thought the spikes would hurt me... but in the end, they just sank into the more delicate body of the girl next to me.

Another row of spikes suddenly appeared in mid-air, and this time Coco didn't even have time to react—

"Pfft-"

Like bamboo skewers skewered in tofu.

Coco could only watch helplessly as the cold hands easily nailed Lily's limbs to the wall.

Dense and bright red blood oozed from the limbs. Finally, I could clearly see... the girl beside me whose limbs were being abused was twitching slightly.

She was undoubtedly conscious and in pain.

"Lily!" Coco hurriedly checked the nails on the slender arm.

The ends of the long spikes were sunken into the wall, yet they were so strong that they seemed to have grown out of the wall.

The long section outside the wall pierced through Lily's arm.

I tried to pry the nails away from the wall, but they wouldn't budge.

However, Lily's arm was slightly pulled, and the blood that oozed out became thicker. It even flowed down to Coco's hand, down her arm, and onto her clean clothes.

“Why… do this?!”

Coco stared, pricked up her ears, looked around the room, and shouted fiercely:

"Who on earth is it?! What on earth do you want to do?!"

"Come out to me now!!!"

However, in the room... Coco's voice echoed.

I can't find him anymore, someone else is here.

"bass--"

...Another metallic clanging sound.

A long sword fell in the middle of the room, floating alone in the air.

It's moving... as if gesturing.

But Coco noticed that its attention was not on her at all.

He just pointed the silver blade at Lily's body intermittently.
