"No, not good! The bleeding was more worrying than the wound! If this continues…"
If she bled too much, her life would be in danger. However, there was no tool that could provide her with emergency blood.
Flying Bird stood up unwillingly and picked up his sword.
"I'm going to destroy the tiger now. Ren Jun, wait here."
"Ah, Flying Bird? No, it's too much for one person! Although he was unwilling, he had to surrender this time! Yao would be in danger if this continued! The lives of companions were irreplaceable!”
The guild might lose Sixteen Nights because of this, but now was not the time to care about that. If this continued, he might lose both Yao and Asuka.
Flying Bird said to the anxious Ren Dao in a slightly calm voice.
"Don't worry. No matter how strong Garde is, I will not lose to an irrational beast. -- Besides, don't you feel indignant? Isn't it possible that Kasuga Kazuki thought we had no chance of winning, so he went to fight alone?”
Perhaps she felt that if she wanted to defeat Garde, who had obtained the power of the ghost clan, these two might be a burden. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Yao shouted to Asuka," Run!" Because she was the only one who could buy time there.
Flying Bird thought that Yao would escape immediately. She had originally planned to discuss it with the three of them again before attacking. Ke Yao had seized the sword by himself. This was proof that she had made the judgment that a bird that could not use the gift would only be a burden.
"Can you stop the bleeding with this?"
Flying Bird untied the two ribbons that tied her hair and handed them to Ren.
"Uh…Ah, yes."
She checked that the pure red dress on her body would not affect her movements and said to Yao,
"It will be solved in ten minutes. Hold on a little longer."
“…………”
Perhaps he had heard her voice, but he moved his left hand as if he was saying," Be careful."
Garde Gaspar was still on the second floor of the headquarters.
His left leg, which had been cut in the battle just now, showed no signs of stopping the bleeding.
"…Was it because he was slashed by the silver sword?"
Garde didn't know the rules. No. He couldn't even understand human language. Although the blond vampire sent someone to explain the rules to it, the person was no longer breathing. He became Garde's first delicious meal after obtaining the power of the ghost clan. Garde felt that this person should be his trusted subordinate, but he couldn't remember now.
The reason why the Silver Cross Blade was still protected despite not knowing the rules was because of the fear of the race.
Ever since he sold his soul to the demon, Garde had never touched silver. This should be the same as the werewolves, fearing the magic breaking power of Silver.
"When I came to this world as a tiger, I never had to be afraid of such things. No, nothing in the forest can scare me.………But when did it start? I'm afraid of many things."
Oh right, it started when he took the human form and entered the Sandcourt. From then on, he became afraid of many things. This was because there were countless existences stronger than him in this Sandbox Court.
Not long after, Garde gained power, but he was even more afraid. When he found out that there was a nameless guild that owned the Sandbox Court Nobles, he was so jealous that he went crazy.
"And this authority, the guild, everything is gone…All that is left is this headquarters."
It was not that he could not leave the headquarters. Instead, he was unwilling to leave.
It had long forgotten about the competition. It was the remaining rationality that allowed it to guard this place. Only this office that was built to show its strength was its last dignity.
Therefore, it would never let anyone who set foot in the headquarters go. It was as if he had sworn that this place was his territory.
If it was now, it would probably fight without fear even if it was facing the blond vampire. The human-tiger, whose edges had been shaved off by all kinds of reasons, finally regained the wildness of the past when it lived alone.
At this moment, something strange happened at the headquarters.
“…………！？”
A pungent odor came. This was the smell he had smelled in the forest in the distant past. However, it couldn't figure out when or under what circumstances it had smelled it. However, only the restlessness in his chest was stirring up his instincts.
The slight uneasiness shook its determination not to leave the room on the second floor as long as there were no intruders. Gard, who couldn't stand it anymore, rushed downstairs and was stunned by the tragic scene on the first floor.
"The headquarters is…burning…?”
What surged faster than anger was instinctive terror. Fear of fire was the nature of wild beasts. The first fear it experienced in its life was the countless flames that burned the forest when it was still a tiger cub.
And what burned away its last consciousness as a human was the flame that made it afraid.
“GEEEEEYAAAaaaa！！！”
In an instant, Garde rushed out of the headquarters. The cold flames burned away its last bit of rationality. It only had the instinct to run into the forest as a beast and the instinct to eat as a vampire. This place was not far from the place where the smell of blood came from. It was as if he was being led through the forest, only focused on his target.
"…I've been waiting for you. Faster than I thought."
The tiger stopped. This was not because he was on guard, but because he was afraid of the flames burning on the rubble in his target's hand and the silver crossguard sword.
"Aiya, you still want to run at this time? There shouldn't be anything left of what you've accumulated as the leader of 'Ferris Gallo,' right? Then, shouldn't he at least charge forward like a king of the jungle?”
Even if it provoked him, the tiger could not understand human language.
If it was still rational, it would have noticed the abnormality in the forest. Sensing that the trees that were supposed to stop the intruders from entering the entanglement seemed to be luring him, they parted to the left and right to make way for him.
“………。Was there no way to communicate? It was no wonder. Because you're completely like a tiger now."
The flying bird was at the end of the road. With the power of the ghost race, Garde should be able to rush up and bite her neck faster than a leopard. However, the flame in Flying Bird's hand prevented it from doing so.
"There's still Kasuga's injury to deal with, so I don't want to waste any more time. So-"
Flying Bird threw the fire aside. This was the signal. She raised her silver crossguard sword and said,
"Let's fight one-on-one."
“----GEEEEYAAAAAaaaa！！！”
Garde ran in a straight line. If it was still rational, it would have noticed it now. The restricted path would also restrict his movements.
"Hah…"
The flying bird also rushed toward the charging Garde. However, she was unable to kill the tiger with just her thin arms. However, the silver crossguard sword suddenly erupted with radiance.
The gift of the flying bird,"Might Light", was almost like a raw stone.
Last night, the black rabbit had said at the headquarters that with extremely high quality and strong willpower, birds could unconsciously bestow power to all kinds of animals, plants, and phenomena.
According to the black rabbit, as long as the Orirocks in Flying Bird's possession were trained for a long period of time, they would show a tendency to have a " ruling " attribute.
"Then my power can also rule over things other than humans or living creatures?”
“YES! Perhaps Asuka needed to learn how to make any target perform the Miracle of Creation if she wanted to store an unexpected power. However, in order to change the attributes that had been cultivated over a long period of time, one had to spend the same amount of time as their current life to cultivate. Black Rabbit, do you recommend strengthening your strengths?"
