"...The captain's dead! Kill this monster!"

"This monster is too fast!"

"There are so many of us—we can definitely kill this monster!"

The sudden attack threw the Infected Patrol into chaos.

In the brief moment of their hesitation, their captain had been bitten to death.

What kind of creature was this?

Why had that tiny purple creature suddenly turned into such an incomparably ferocious, terrifying monster before their eyes?

"..."

Kiana Kaslana's mouth fell open.

Her face had gone a little pale.

Come to think of it—

This was her first time facing a dead person.

Even though the scene was not bloody, and was even a little funny.

Yet the sight of someone being killed, coupled with the absurdly comical corpse, delivered an impact that was even harder to accept.

The white-haired girl found it a little hard to breathe.

She knew they were bad people, but...

"Close your eyes, Kiana."

A pair of hands covered her eyes.

It was Skadi's voice.

The Abyssal Hunter had noticed the girl's discomfort.

For someone from another world, death was probably something rarely encountered, wasn't it?

Skadi thought silently.

"Skadi, I..."

Kiana Kaslana tried her best to calm the nauseating discomfort in her body.

Broken Tooth had cleanly bitten through that scumbag's neck.

Even if he had deserved it, this was still her first time seeing a dead person up close.

The white-haired girl was not used to it.

"This is the result they brought upon themselves."

Skadi spoke calmly.

If they provoked someone they could not possibly match, then being killed was only natural.

That was the most fundamental logic governing Terra.

Just like when she had been a bounty hunter, those overconfident peers who had tried to ambush her.

"..."

Kiana Kaslana said nothing.

Were other worlds all this dangerous?

For the first time, she had come into contact with the darkness of another world.

It was completely unlike the style of her own world.

Her world had the style of a beautiful fairy tale, while the worlds Skadi and Talulah came from were practically realistic, dark tales.

As for Zerg and Broken Tooth—

Well, they were absurd comedies.

"Broken Tooth, keep biting them!"

The tiny Zerg ordered the Zergling to continue attacking the remaining enemies.

As the Swarm Overlord, he possessed the combined advantages of the entire Swarm.

Thus, he also possessed the internal chambers used by the aerial Overlord—Leviathan—to carry the Swarm.

After Broken Tooth had secretly slipped over behind Skadi, Zerg had stored it away.

Several Drones were also crammed inside the chamber, ready at any time to mutate into a Hatchery and open up channels for the Swarm to gather resources.

"Gaha!"

The little Zergling darted and weaved among the Infected Patrol members.

They could not keep up with the purple creature's speed at all.

Its W-shaped mouth had already bitten through several people's necks.

Several unlucky men had also had their limbs bitten off and swallowed whole.

The screams never ceased, forming a hellish tableau.

"..."

Talulah tightly held Alina's hand, soothing her friend's emotions.

This was the first time the Elafia girl had seen... such a bizarre scene.

The cute purple creature had cleanly killed several patrolmen, while all of those patrolmen's... eyes had turned into strange Xs.

Alina did not know how to describe it. She only felt a sense of disconnection and wrongness.

But after taking several deep breaths, she finally eased the discomfort in her body somewhat.

After all, it was not as though she had never seen dead people before.

Every time Ursus's winter passed, there would always be people in the village who had frozen to death.

Sometimes... Alina was the one who found those stiff corpses.

"My heavens..."

The elderly Ursus farmer and his wife were too terrified to speak.

The Infected Patrol, who usually threw their weight around, had now become prey to some strange creature and were being slaughtered at will.

A monstrously ferocious beast seemed to be hidden within that tiny body.

"Monster!"

A patrolman watched that monster kill his comrade with its sharp teeth. Those yellow pupils contained nothing but bloodthirsty desire for slaughter.

Then he noticed the figure directing the monster to kill his companions.

"Die, you bastard!"

He could not escape by running.

That ferocious bug was simply too fast. It would soon catch up to him and tear his body apart.

His only hope was to kill the figure commanding the bug and fight for a sliver of survival.

The Ursus military saber in his hand slashed toward that tiny figure.

"..."

The reflection of the sharp military saber appeared in Zerg's eyes.

"Zerg, watch out!"

Talulah's eyes widened.

Scorching flames nearly burst through her body as she fully unleashed her Originium Arts, wanting to kill the Infected Patrol member who had attacked Zerg.

"..."

The Abyssal Hunter instinctively placed her hand on the greatsword behind her.

Then—

The Swarm Overlord watched the approaching figure, and a Psionic glow lit up in his eyes.

Enemies, Leave None Alive!

"Gaha!"

Broken Tooth wanted to rush back and kill the enemy attacking the Overlord.

However, through its Psionic link with the Overlord, it stopped its attempt to return and instead continued slaughtering the remaining enemies.

"Die, you humanoid monster!"

The Infected Patrol member could no longer hear his comrades' screams.

Only that tiny figure remained in his eyes.

But as the distance closed—

The Infected Patrol member seemed to see more.

That was not some tiny child. That was a h...

Pop.

It sounded like a bubble bursting.

The Ursus patrolman who had attempted to attack the Swarm Overlord simply vanished—

Without leaving a trace.

To the girls, he had suddenly disappeared without a trace, like a burst bubble.

Scorching flames struck the spot where the patrolman had been standing.

Yet they hit no target.

"..."

The dragon girl slowly lowered her hand.

She had not seemed to see what had happened just now.

Why had that patrolman suddenly vanished?

Like a shattered illusion.

What kind of Originium Arts was this?

"Alina, did you see that?"

Talulah tried to seek confirmation from her friend.

"That person... suddenly disappeared?"

The Elafia girl also had no idea what had happened.

She had only seen the patrolman who wanted to attack Zerg suddenly vanish.

There had been no scream, no corpse, nothing left behind.

He had disappeared abruptly, as though someone had erased him from a sheet of paper.

"What happened?"

With her eyes covered, Kiana Kaslana only heard Talulah roar, as though someone had tried to attack Zerg.

Yet before she could act first and punish that scumbag, she heard a sound like a bubble bursting beside her ear.

"I don't know."

Skadi could not understand it either.

What had Zerg done?

She looked toward the tiny child.
