My honey...

Unlike Claudia, who knew that everything had ended, all the people present were unable to understand what was really happening before them. They might be programmed to kill their target without any remorse, calmly, without any mistakes, yet how could they remain indifferent when they saw how ridiculous the sight before them was?

Honestly, none of the Yabuki clan members cared about each other. In their heads, it was only a mission, and the only person they needed to care for was their head. In other words, their leader. It wouldn't be weird to say even if the world had become modern and progressed until now, their way of life had never changed from how they were initially.

Their way of life was still primitive way, like those shinobi villages in history.

Unlike Naruto, the Yabuki clan believed that the mission was their lives, and they needed to do everything for their mission, so they didn't really care for their dying comrades.

Yet, it was different if their comrades died and were burnt into ashes.

This...

Even if their numbers were more than his.

Even if they were living by killing for as long as they remember.

Even if they believed in the ability of the Yabuki clan...

At this moment, all of them showed hesitation and fear. It was like a natural instinct when a herbivore saw a carnivore since their only fate was just one...

Be devoured.

When Gustave and Bujinsai connected on the call, they heard the voices of the brokers, who connected them with the Ginga; they saw many people die, burnt into ashes. Even so, they heard the voices of their brokers carefully, without missing anything, as they knew that this young man would be their obstacle.

Yet, they saw this young man staring in their direction and discovered their position. While they were surprised, they were in a daze when he saw how they ignored them before he killed all the rest of the members of the Yabuki clan.

"...." 2x

While they were angry inwardly for being dismissed like trash by him, they were also shocked by his figure.

He wasn't a student, but he was a demon.

There was no hesitation. All of them were killed, destroyed, and burnt as they disappeared into ashes.

"Do you need help?" Gustave asked, but Bujinsai didn't answer him as he was already on his way to Tamazuki. After all, how could Bujinsai have killed all of his people? All of them might be his tools, but how could he watch them die?

Gustave shook his head helplessly. "I guess I also need to move now."

All at once, a complex magic square floated into the air, from which a gigantic creature began to emerge.

---

"Die, worms."

Tamazuki's moods were so bad at this moment since he knew what kind of wish Claudia had. By now, he also knew what kind of price she needed to pay for wielding Pan-Dora.

Killed in the dream.

That was the price.

Claudia had wielded Pan-Dora for so many years, so she should have killed more than a thousand times. For a person who had herself being killed every night, how could she stay sane?

How could she keep smiling?

How could she keep living like any other person?

For her, death was an everyday thing.

It was something common, an everyday thing.

The difference in their understanding of death turned her into something like this.

If he wished to become stronger, so he wouldn't die, then Claudia only wanted to die.

Yet, how could he allow that?

How could he allow this bitch to kill herself?

Unforgivable!

When he thought how stupid this bitch was, he was mad, but he knew that he couldn't stop her obsession until she realized what the meaning of death was.

Yet, what even made him angrier was all of those who had made her like this.

Pan-Dora was, without a doubt, the culprit of everything, and because of this, he often tormented it by using his possession. The price of playing with his women wasn't low, and he was going to make it wish that it was dying since living was just tormenting.

It was the case with the people in front of him.

He was going to massacre all of them until nothing was left.

"STOPPPPP!!!!"

He heard the scream of someone from a distance. He could tell that it was the voice of the leader of this group as he had noticed this leader before, yet so what? He had touched his women, hurting them like this, so they needed to pay the price.

Death. That is.

All the resistance was meaningless.

Everything was burnt to ash under Ser-Veresta's heat.

Nothing left. Nothing remained.

Everyone had died.

"YOU BASTARD!!!"

Bujinsai roared in anger, but then he saw Tamazuki appear before him so suddenly. His pupils enlarged as he was seen that the heat blade was about to cut him. Everything suddenly turned slow as he knew that he was about to face death. His thoughts moved so fast, yet his body stood still, unable to move, trembling from terror, but fortunately...

Two gigantic monsters with a Chimera-like feature and a Cerberus-like shape leaped in Tamazuki's direction, ready to tear him into pieces.

Yet, like the others, those two gigantic monsters were as weak as worms. They were burnt into ashes and unable to do anything.

"....." Gustave.

"Don't gawk down! We're going to die if we don't fight! Use your everything!" Bujinsai was able to escape because of those two monsters, but his left hand was burnt into ashes. He knew that he couldn't run away since Tamazuki had sentenced him to death.

"I know!"

Gustave felt regret for accepting this job and thought that he might as well escape, so Tamazuki wouldn't mistake him for the accomplishment, but it was too late, so what he needed to do was to use his all.

"Buy me some time. I will summon my strongest monster!"

"Good!"

Bujinsai agreed and threw a hail of kunai.

Yet, before those kunai reached Tamazuki, all of them melted into liquid metal.

The temperature of Ser-Versta and his body increased, causing the concrete to melt like butter, the rain to evaporate, and everything was in ruin.

He was a walking disaster.

Yet, Bujinsai kept moving, trying to buy time for Gustave. Fortunately, Gustave didn't disappoint him.

"Come out, Hydra!"

At that moment, a huge magic square appeared beneath the lake's surface. It was at least 30 meters before that square emitted a sudden flash of light, and a swarm of tentacle-like snake heads burst out of the water—nine in total.

It was not exaggerated to say it was as large as a small hill, the monster's nine snake heads growing out of the body that resembled a four-legged dinosaur appearing on this harbor.

Bujinsai saw hope in this monster, but...

At that moment, the dark cloud was torn apart by an enormous pillar of light.

His aura exploded like a bomb, almost blowing everything, yet no one could move from their spots watching this miracle.

The blazing heat dries the moisture in the air, yet the sheer size of this pillar of heat astonished them the most.

At that moment, the entire Asterisk was blinded by this light.

Tamazuki swung this pillar of heat down at the hydra, Gustave, and Bujisai.

The three could only stare in a daze. In their minds, many things emerged on their heads from the flashback of their lives, along with the people they cared about, but for one thing, they regretted accepting this mission before they were swallowed by the heat and burned into ashes.

Soon, the pillar of heat disappeared, and the downpour continued as the sky turned gloomy once again.

On the side of the harbor, two people could only sit in fear as they could feel his gaze on him. They might hide, but even so, they could feel his sharp gazes penetrate into their souls.

Die!

They were going to die!

Their bodies shivered with intense fear as they imagined their bodies burnt into ashes like others. One of them had their hair turned white because of the stress and fear. Fortunately, he only glanced at them for a moment and ignored them, causing them to feel inwardly relieved, yet they didn't dare to move or even let out a single noise as they were afraid he would attract his attention.

On this ruined harbor, Claudia saw his figure walking toward her. She didn't feel fear, only guilt, as she knew she was the one who had caused everything. Their bodies were drenched with the rain, yet she couldn't say a single word until he slapped her cheek hard.

*Slap!*

The burning and painful feeling slowly emerged on her cheek, yet instead of his lap, she was at a loss since she saw him crying.

"Don't you dare to do something like that again, okay?"

Yet, even if this woman had made him angry, the thought of losing her made him sad.

"......."

Those words... Claudia's tears which she thought had stopped, couldn't be stopped as they ran like a river.

"I AM SORRY! I AM SORRY!"

She cried like a child, hugging him tightly, regretting her stupid wish as she made him sad.

Tamazuki didn't say anything and carried her while healing her, bringing her home.
