"It's Master and Kurome's group!"
"Hurry up, or the prey will all be taken!"
"Damn you demons, die!"
"For Prince's sake, we will never retreat, charge!"
…
With Sora's group's strong arrival, the guarding girls became even more excited, each swinging their longswords to hunt, afraid they'd miss out if they were slow.
The alien army was also bloodthirsty, fearless and brave, turning their grief into strength, vowing to kill all these demons to avenge their comrades!
Thus, the sounds of battle and killing cries echoed again across the battlefield. From the sky, the endless slaughter was a bloody and spectacular scene!
"Lady Esdeath is really powerful. Just after saying that, Master and the others arrived."
Said Suzuka, the masochistic girl who had been completely brainwashed by the Queen, casting endless admiration and obsession at Esdeath.
"That must be Kurome-chan's familiar. Just releasing one already has such terrifying power. It really is a frightening ability!"
Unlike Suzuka, the somewhat more normal Mez was gazing intently at the huge and majestic figure of the twin-winged fire dragon in the sky, his tone full of endless admiration.
Speaking of which, she could be considered a senior to Kurome. If it came down to personal strength, the girl was confident she would definitely not lose to her. But if Kurome unleashed all her terrifying puppet familiars at once, then except for her master and Lady Esdeath, there really wouldn't be many sisters who could stand against her!
"Finally arrived, my dear."
Esdeath didn't pay attention to the two women beside her, who looked either admiring or amazed. Instead, she looked up to the sky with anticipation. Her ice-blue eyes sparkled with a strange light as she activated her Devil's Essence ability. A pair of imposing and beautiful ice wings spread out from her back.
As if they had always existed, the two ice wings flapped gently, and with a whoosh, Esdeath shot up into the sky.
"My dear!"
Still as domineering and straightforward as ever, never one to hold back or hide anything, Esdeath, who had just landed on the dragon's back, embraced Sora and pressed herself against him.
As one of her favorite women, Sora responded to the queen's fiery passion, entwining tightly with her.
"Hehe, Lady Esdeath, we missed you so much."
After a long wait, the two finally separated. Kurome and Seryu came over laughing, each linking an arm with one of Esdeath's arms in a very intimate manner.
"Kurome, Seryu, you've come too."
"Heh… my dear, are these two the new sisters who just joined?"
Gently stroking the foreheads of the two women, Esdeath's eyes brightened when she saw Aria and Sayo nearby. She smiled mischievously.
"Sister Esdeath, I'm Sayo, the master's little maid. Please take care of me."
"Hehehe, Lady Esdeath, I'm Aria. I've heard of your great reputation for a long time. Aria admires you the most!"
Before Sora could say anything, Sayo and Aria stepped forward, bowed to Esdeath, and introduced themselves.
Having grown up in a secluded village, the pure-hearted Sayo appeared much more simple and honest. Even facing her top senior sister, the continent's fearsome super-S queen Esdeath, the girl remained calm and natural, neither flattering excessively nor showing any arrogance.
As for Aria, the malicious, capricious, and proud young lady was completely different. In truth, she was jealous that this beautiful, noble, and domineering woman was still alive!
Of course, although jealous, Aria knew her own limits. And since the evil master said she was to be sent to this queen for training as a witch, meaning she would be her future superior, Aria naturally had to flatter Esdeath on the surface.
"Hmph, if you want to train me, first see if you have the ability! If not, one day I'll replace you and make you kneel before me every day!"
Just imagining the super-S queen and imperial female general kneeling before her made Aria's blood boil with excitement, almost intoxicating her…
While Aria was lost in her beautiful fantasy, she didn't notice Sora looking at her with a dark expression.
From time to time, he would check her mind through their contract to see what nonsense she was thinking about. This had become a recent habit for Sora.
Alright, Sora admitted that even imagining the queen kneeling before her was beyond boldness. He was completely impressed by this young lady!!!
"Esdeath, Sayo is my little maid. You mustn't bully her."
"As for Aria, she's the third witch I've given you besides Kurome and Seryu. Just don't break her, and you can train her however you want!"
A wicked smile appeared on Sora's lips as he said this to Esdeath, while mentally transmitting some information about Aria to her.
Of course, Sora kept Aria's thoughts to himself; it wouldn't be fun to share those with Esdeath!
"Heh… I see. Don't worry, little sister Sayo, I never bully my own people."
A strange light flashed in Esdeath's ice-blue eyes. She pressed Sayo's forehead and smiled kindly. But when her gaze turned to Aria, that friendly smile turned into a sinister one:
"You're Aria, right? What a fine girl! Don't worry, I'll 'take good care' of you from now on!"
Though she didn't know what Esdeath was thinking, after receiving Sora's information, the clever Esdeath could guess a little.
Not angry at all, Esdeath instead felt a strange excitement rising in her heart. The three witches her dear had given her were indeed interesting!
She had already started planning her witch training methods. Hehehe, she had recently developed several new techniques, perfect to try on them, especially this girl named Aria!
"Ha… haha… Thank you, Lady Esdeath."
Looking at this noble and domineering woman, Aria snapped out of her fantasy, feeling uneasy with a bad premonition.
Well, it wouldn't be long before this malicious girl would realize what that bad feeling meant. Being trained daily by the queen with all kinds of methods—tsk tsk, what a scene…
"My dear, you've come just in time. Today's toys are more than ever. Do you want to join us?"
Ignoring Aria for the moment, Esdeath looked down at the battlefield still raging below and turned to Sora.
"I haven't played in a long time either. Let's play together today."
Sora nodded indifferently.
"Heh… it's rare to see you interested, my dear."
"Then, let the hunt begin!"
Drawing her Western-style longsword from her waist, Esdeath looked at the poor enemy tribesmen below, her thin cherry lips curling into a bloodthirsty and excited smile…
