Use the power of the Demon King to destroy those reincarnated in another world

Ryan walked into the store shyly with his head lowered.

"...Ryan." The store manager covered his mouth with his right hand and said in surprise. Ryan stopped at the entrance. He didn't know what to say.

Helene couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Ryan's hand. Then she led him to the store manager, pushed Ryan and asked him to stand in front of the store manager: "Come on, do you have something to say?"

Ryan still lowered his head and clenched his fists: "Brother... that..." he stammered.

There is a lot to say.

There's a lot to talk about.

However, he decided to say this first. But when he faced the scene, for some reason, he couldn't speak. The store manager couldn't stand Ryan's look and took the initiative to speak.

At that moment, "I'm sorry..." Ryan struggled to say the words.

This is regret and self-blame for premature shame and hasty actions. These feelings were surging in his heart. He couldn't look directly at the store manager's face, but he felt the gentle touch on the top of his head.

"Welcome back, Ryan."

Ryan looked up and the store manager smiled.

"I'm back."

Half joy, half shame, that was enough for them.

"Are you hungry?" the store manager said, and Ryan nodded silently. Everyone looked at them silently, and the store manager raised his head.

"Are you all hungry? I'm treating you today, please eat more." After saying that, he looked at Lena, "Miss Lena, I'm sorry to bother you, can you help me?" Lena nodded immediately and walked towards the store manager.

After everyone looked at each other, they walked to their seats. Only Reno was always full, so he smiled slightly awkwardly.

This was the night Nia was rescued.

Because he had to report to Leonardo, Renault was resting at home, but Faye visited him and urged him to go to the Knights. At first, Renault wanted to refuse, but faced with the extremely serious Fay, he reluctantly agreed.

Faye said he wanted to talk about the synopsis at the Knights, so he hurried to headquarters. The place he was taken to was the prison facility underneath the Knights' headquarters, which was a place where criminals were temporarily housed.

However, where Reno arrives reveals a deplorable state far removed from a prison facility. He had a bad feeling from the moment he walked down the stairs with Fay.

The pungent smell of blood, the sticky, lingering belching, and the chill. The scene was filled with a sea of ​​blood, and twisted sticks were inserted everywhere.

The bars of all the cells were bent to their liking and no longer resembled the shape of the cells, and the walls were covered with circular patterns painted in blood. In the corner of the pattern, "Beauty under the Moon" is written in blood.

"What's going on?" Even Renault was shocked by the tragedy. He walked through the sea of ​​blood and reached out to touch a stick.

"This was originally a human being." Faye said from behind, and Reno stopped.

He turned and looked at Fay: "What does this mean?"

"It's 'Beauty in the Moon,' Renault."

Renault's eyes widened.

Impossible, because he himself has lost his skills and spirit. How could something that didn't even have the ability to think or have the skills to autonomously create such a tragic situation?

Renault wanted to ask a question, but suddenly realized: Why was he called here?

According to common sense, it should be pretending to be destroyed in order to cause this tragedy. Well, now he himself is coming under suspicion.

However, contrary to Renault's prediction, Faye knelt there: "Please forgive my rudeness, please give me the help of wisdom!"

Fay put her hands on the ground and lowered her head.

"Don't you doubt me?" Renault couldn't understand it. It was natural to be doubted.

But Fey shook his head: "If you were really his accomplice, you would not be here. Moreover, I have seen your abilities with my own eyes. You are a human named Renault that I have seen."

Fay raised her head and looked up at Renault: "I believe in my eyes."

Renault smiled and said: "You are really crazy." Then he scanned the scene carefully.

"What do the Knights think?"

"To be honest, there are mixed opinions, and a lot of people consider you a collaborator."

"Of course." Renault said, approaching the writing on the wall. Then, I touched the words "Beauty under the Moon".

"I want to ask a question."

"What?"

"Who named it 'Beauty under the Moon'?"

"It is said that there are several scenes with that name, just like this scene."

“A few places means not all of them?”

"Yes, not all."

Renault was silent and looked at the handwriting again.

"Do you know something?"

Renault didn't answer, looking up at the circular pattern.

"Do you know 'Beauty Under the Moon'?"

"Um?"

"It blooms only once on a moonlit night and fades in the morning, a beautiful but short-lived flower."

"I still know the name."

"That kind of fantasy beauty created in an instant. If it were just the name of the work, would a man specifically choose this name?" This possibility exists, but it cannot be determined.

However, "Beauty under the Moon" is indeed a man's name.

"Of course, we can't be completely sure that this is the case." Renault said after understanding Fay's doubts.

Yet this tiny contradiction between this tiny doubt and Reno's certainty that he had actually destroyed his mind constituted a hypothesis.

Raynor turned to Faye.

"A mixture of souls."

"Huh?" Fey had more questions about what Renault said.

Pralod said: "When he was a student, Grimm Rudolf published a paper about the demon king 'False Emperor' 500 years ago. In that paper, he talked about a demon that housed three The soul is in a container."

Fay had heard the name of Grim Rudolf, a famous monster ecologist. But he didn't fully understand what Renault said.

Renault saw Fey's confusion and continued: "'Three-Headed Rabid Dog' Kerberos."

This is a famous story - "The Brave" Renji massacred the guardian dog of the Demon King's Castle.

"I literally destroyed his spirit and it's impossible to recover from it. "When Leno destroys something tangible, it disappears completely.

This seems to imply that it cannot return to its original state. Since destruction is a simple ability, it's difficult to explain this in terms of differences in conditions.

"Besides the heart I have destroyed, there is another heart."

"Multiple personalities?"

Renault shook his head in denial: "Multiple personalities are self-defense instincts, or personalities formed in response to limited expectations. In that case, there is only one heart, so all the personalities will disappear when I destroy it."

Finally, Faye understood: "So, a mingling of souls... but is such a thing possible?"

"I don't know. But at least according to Grimm's theory, it is possible for monsters to do it. Monsters are indeed mysterious creatures, but they are just like humans." In short, it cannot be completely denied.

"Otherwise, the only remaining explanation is that I assisted him. Although there is nothing to boast about, my ability has gone beyond the use of magic."

There may be other possibilities, but based on current experience and knowledge, only assumptions that are consistent with reality can be constructed.

Faye nodded, Raynor was more knowledgeable than he was and was able to deduce things from small amounts of information. His instincts were spot on.

"In that case, how are we going to find him?"

Renault nodded, and Fey bowed his head to Renault, who was younger than him, regardless of face. This question was the reason why he did so.
