Lovis wiped the sweat on his forehead as he looked up to the ceiling.

「Hou… To be able to struck fear on me, that girl should be pretty strong.」

Though Lovis felt something ominous from the girl with the black overcoat, Lunaire, he felt relieved since the girl didn’t seem to be as dangerous as Kanata.

Lovis sent a brief glance toward Damia and Yozakura who stood on the side.

The two of them were already overwhelmed by the girl and now sitting on the ground, trembling like a newborn calf.

Lovis’ body was also trembling non stop.

But different from his subordinates, Lovis was trembling in excitement.

The girl before him had the air of those who decided to quit being a human.

Even the magic that she used to destroy the ceiling was unknown to Lovis.

Just the combination of those two factors were enough to convince him that her power was completely off chart.

The girl before him was clearly on a stronger side.

She appeared quite calm, undisturbed even when she stood before Lovis.

He had no idea whether he could win against the other party if he went all out.

Lovis actually wanted to leave the city as soon as possible when he discovered that Pomera might be related to Kanata.

But, the prey before him was too good to be missed.

Lovis himself was almost convinced that the girl before him was the goddess who wished for a struggle for life.

Lunaire descended slowly from above and landed on the floor.

Lovis’ lips formed a wicked smile, his expression was close to that of a madman.

「L… Lovis-sama?」

Yozakura who saw that kind of expression for the first time on Lovis’ face raised a troubled voice.

Lovis silently threw the scythe in his hand.

The scythe turned around quickly in a circle and came toward Lunaire.

From the very beginning, Lovis, who loved combat above all else, would never throw his weapon toward his opponent, unless he wanted to test the other party.

After showing the other party that he wanted a fight, only then he would attack for real after making sure that the other party was prepared.

There was no ulterior motive behind his pre-emptive action; if the opponent was proven to be a strong one, he would fight by himself after the other party stopped the surprise attack.

But, that wasn’t applied for the current situation.

His intuition had told him that he had to use all kinds of possible means, even cowardice, to defeat the other party.

So Lovis went all out from the very beginning.

The reason why Lovis gave his opponent a time to prepare themselves was simply a compromise because he didn’t want his opponent to be defeated in the first strike due to his high combat prowess, it was kinda like a handicap for him.

But, Lovis didn’t have to hold back this time since he knew that the girl who stood before him could pretty much stop his all out attack.

Lunaire dodged the incoming scythe with ease by leaning her body to the side.

「《Short Gate》!」

Lovis appeared on the wall behind Lunaire.

Lovis caught his thrown scythe while swinging his arm, and just like that, he aimed toward Lunaire’s back.

Lunaire dodged the backstab without even turning around, as if she had eyes on her back.

Lovis’ figure vanished again.

He teleported to the side, and swung his scythe.

But, that attack was also dodged by paper-thin margin.

After that, Lunaire dodged every single one of Lovis attacks that came from all directions without even breaking a sweat.

「Interesting, let’s see how you handle this!」

Lunaire suddenly closed in toward Lovis who jumped back.

She poked at Lovis’ forehead with her forefinger.

「E–」

That light poke had sent Lovis flying across the floor, his back and hip scraping the floor.

He only stopped after his back crashed against the wall.

「U-GUH, Wh-what… Happen just now?」

Lunaire stretched her hand.

The black overcoat that covered her body, 《Impurity Sealer’s Robe》 then vanished.

With her black overcoat gone, her beautiful figure clad in white garment had finally exposed.

At the same time, her suppressed hades’ impurity exploded at once.

Lovis, who managed to somehow stand on his feet, suddenly froze.

To be exact, his legs were frozen stiff. His knees were trembling nonstop, barely standing on his feet.

At last he fell on his rear.

Due to the effect of 《Impurity Sealer’s Robe》, Lovis mistook the girl before him as his match.

But now he knew the truth, it was already too late for him. He realized that the girl was in a completely different dimension.

Lovis was sweating non-stop as if his body tried to wring his bodily fluid dry.

He couldn’t even lift his finger.

It felt as if his entire body became a lot heavier.

Lovis’ teeth were clattering nonstop, tears were coming out from his eyes.

Lovis barely managed to squeeze a single complaint with his frozen stiff mouth.

「I made a mistake…」

Was the only thing he could say.

What Lovis wanted was to die in a battle against a worthy opponent, not die by something akin to a giant falling meteor.

And yet, today, he actually repeated the foolish act of the latter, charging toward a huge falling meteor.

Only now did he realize his foolish mistake.

In fact, Kanata wasn’t the first opponent he met that he couldn’t defeat no matter what.

His loss against 《Humanoid Dragon》-class opponent was something unavoidable.

Moreover, though they were surely hidden somewhere in this kingdom, such existence rarely came to the surface.

Even the fact he had a quick switch when he realized Kanata’s overwhelming strength was because he had prior experience.

And yet, the girl before him made all of them seem to be like small fry.

Even Lovis himself had no idea that such terrifying creatures exist in this world.

He had no idea about the reason behind the appearance of the monster before him in this kind of situation.

No, calling her a monster is an understatement.

The girl before him felt more like the embodiment of this world’s rules, a completely overwhelming existence.

Normally, a human in this world would at least meet a 《Humanoid Dragon》, someone with level 300 or more, at least once in their entire life.

Moreover, since they’re regarded as walking calamities, their general whereabouts were usually known by each country.

And yet, for an absolutely overwhelming monster whose level clearly crossed two thousand mark, the kind of level that makes the so-called walking calamity look like an adorable kid,  to come across him twice in a row made Lovis start to wonder why he was so unlucky.
