The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 83

♦ ♦ Sven’s Underling Demon PoV ♦ ♦

I escaped into the sky, putting distance between me and that monster.

What the hell was that monster!?

It really intended to eat me!

T-this isn’t a joke…

I-I’m trembling…

“Damn it! Makes that big spider look cute…”

It was truly a monster to that extent.

It’s a miracle I’m still alive.

“If it comes to this, I’ll deal with Domik and get out of here quickly… Huh?”

As I flew overhead searching for Domik, I locked eyes with a certain man.

He was staring at me intently, tilting his head.

Then, the man lightly nodded at me, so I reflexively nodded back.

No way!

No no no!

He’s the guy who defeated Lord Sven, Yuuma or whatever he’s is called.

Wait?

Where’s Domik?

“Huh?”

Upon closer inspection, something was squirming at Yuuma’s feet.

I looked closer at it.

“Ah!”

I involuntarily screamed.

It was a centipede wrapping around something and devouring it.

W-what is that…?

Disgusting…

That guy even has a familiar like that…

T-this isn’t a joke!

If I fought against something like that and lost, I’d end up like that!

I absolutely refuse!

“Hm?”

Wait?

Fight?

W-where’s Domik…?

I had a bad feeling, so despite feeling sick, I observed the centipede.

Then, through a small gap where the centipede was coiling, I saw the pale, bluish skin characteristic of demons.

D-Domik…

T-that Domik is being eaten by the centipede…

Even Domik, who’s rough and tough but has real power…

I feel sick…!

I-I don’t want this… I don’t want it, I don’t want it!

Are all his familiars man-eaters!?

I feel bad for Lord Sven, but I don’t want to be involved anymore.

I’ve decided to quit the army and escape quickly.

“What’s that over there?”

I thought it was strange to see someone flying in the sky, so I watched them, and our eyes met, so I nodded at them.

The woman flying also quickly nodded back at me, but then hurriedly fled.

“I think she was a demon…”

I wonder what that was?

((“Master, I’m sorry… I’ve been defeated…”))

AI-chan’s voice echoed in my mind.

((“What happened? Earlier, a demon woman flew away; is that related?”))

((“Yes. After Master left, she attacked. I used my dormant power to repel her, but she stabbed me in the heart with a knife and I died. Please bring me out again!”))

It seems the demonic power I felt from AI-chan earlier was related to that.

Well, considering the abilities of a familiar, she could unleash that level of demonic power.

I nodded in understanding and took out a talisman, throwing it.

Then, AI-chan appeared.

“Phew… I’m resurrected! By the way, what’s this?”

AI-chan asked while looking at Big Centipede-chan.

“I don’t know. It seems to be a friend of Sven’s, but it wasn’t an enemy of Big Centipede-chan.”

I guess he was confident in his ironclad body, but he was exposed to acid that could even dissolve iron. What an idiot.

“Is he a demon…? What could his purpose be?”

“He seemed to want to fight me. He’s a brainless brute. There were some like that among the samurai, but none were this stupid.”

“I see. And what about them?”

Now AI-chan is looking at Cyrus and the others.

“I disposed of them for trying to lay hands on the ladies.”

“That’s disposing of them indeed. To think they’d try to touch Master’s potential wife candidates…”

I’m not touching on the subject of wife candidates, sorry.

“Cyrus and the others are irrelevant, but this demon apparently took care of that group of ten adventurers from the square.”

“Is that so… What will you do about it?”

“I’ll report to Pamela.”

“I think that’s a good idea. But please burn Cyrus and the others. It’ll become troublesome.”

Hash, huh…?

“Understood. So, what about the women?”

“Master’s women are being protected by Koma-chan, so rest assured.”

Please stop saying that.

“Good then. Let’s quickly take care of this and return.”

“Yes, let’s. Come on, Big Centipede-chan, eat quickly… No, why am I saying that fast eating makes you fat!”

What are you really saying?

I turned Cyrus and the others’ bodies into ashes with foxfire, made Big Centipede-chan dispose of Domik, and then returned to Natalia’s group with AI-chan.

Returning to the ruins where they were gathering herbs, the four of them hadn’t been collecting any, and were talking when I arrived.

“Oh, Yuuma.”

Lily spotted me and called out.

Then the other three also noticed us, so I headed toward the four of them.

“You guys were attacked by demons?”

“Yeah, that’s right. It happened suddenly, so we were surprised. Plus, they put up a magic-sealing barrier, so we couldn’t do anything.”

There’s something like that…

Too troublesome.

“Oh, AI-chan’s back.”

Natalia looked at AI-chan.

“Familiars can return anytime, you know. More importantly, is everyone okay injury-wise?”

“We’re fine. We were just watching.”

If there are no injuries, then there’s no problem.

“Yuuma, what are your plans regarding the demon from earlier?”

Annie asked.

“Actually, I was attacked by a demon too.”

“Seriously? There were two demons?”

“Seems like it. I defeated mine, but the woman who attacked you flew away somewhere.”

Should I have shot her down?

But she nodded back at me and seemed friendly.

“Yeah… It’s probably best to report to the guild.”

“Ah, apparently he killed the group of ten who went north, so we should report it promptly.”

“Those ten… Understood. Let’s head back today.”

“Agreed.”

We decided to head back early and promptly left the area.
