77.
Krrrrrk.
Her chest, which was covered with hard bones, swelled up. Then, when the breath she had held in deep was filled up, Tiamat let it out without hesitation.
Everything that was in the way of the green breath instantly melted from the poison potency. It looked like it could melt another relatively small white arm.
'Never mind.’
Of course, everything was just an illusion. The owner of the white arm was a demon who was extremely strong, so he should be able to deal with this level easily. And that thought was not wrong.
The breath disappeared without a trace the moment it touched the slowly moving white arm. At the same time, pain surged through her body as she forced out her breath.
“Kuk!”
Tiamat let out a groan and rushed forward. If she couldn't do it with her breath, she was thinking of erasing the magic circle by crushing it with her body.
"Get lost!"
Thud thud! As the massive body charged, the half-melted buildings around it shook terribly.
'Little bit more!'
It seemed that if she moved forward a little further, she would be able to erase the magic circle and close the portal. Tiamat gritted her teeth. However, the moment the white hand moved slowly again, her memory was cut off for a moment.
"Ugh, Ugh”
Tiamat sighed. What happened? She thought she was attacked at the end, but she didn't know what happened after that. She barely lifted her strangely heavy head and looked at her portal.
"Uh?"
The portal was already closed, and the owner of the white hand was not there. All that remained were human corpses and the remains of buildings that had been horribly melted down. Tiamat decided to reduce her body size again. Transformed into her human form, she rose from her seat and saw the blood dripping from her nose.
When she woke up, her head was ringing. It seemed that there were many unattached body parts around.
“So, what happened?”
Was the summoning successful or unsuccessful? That was more important than the wounds on the body.
"Damnit!"
No, he was the one who made her do this. Even if other demons didn't know, the owner of the white arm, Alberg, the number 1 in the Demon Realm, must not come over to this world!
Even in a world where only strong monsters existed, most of whom have gone mad, he is an out-of-standard monster.
'If such a monster crosses over to Earth, those who have been quiet until now will also move.”
That made things complicated. It would no longer be a matter between Earth and the Demon Realm. The Celestial Realm could move, and in addition, the fairies responsible for the balance of the world could also move.
"Aah, I'm going crazy!"
And that was not all. Tiamat knew that Alberg cared only for one human who had fallen into the Demon Realm. It would be difficult if he sided with humans. The pendulum of force would be tilted.
“What to do? What to do!”
Tiamat pulled out her hair. Think, figure out what to do first!
“For now, find Alberg.”
Then send him back
“How can I send him back?”
This was a demon that required a lot of mana to call once. Besides, even the materials that went into this magic circle were staggering. She also heard that it would be difficult to get it back right away.
"Wait for a sec."
Tiamat put her hand on her chest. Inside, there was a dragon heart, a mana crystal that only existed in dragons. If you have one Dragon Heart, the other required materials are drastically reduced. Originally there were no dragons in the middle world, but now it was different.
"Isn't there a guy who's not good enough?"
A stupid dragon clinging to humans.
“What was your name? Was it Harmonia?”
Alright, she would pull out that dragon's dragon heart. And find Alberg and return him as quickly as possible. That was it. Tiamat focused her mind to find Kai's location. Maybe Kai was still dealing with him.
“Ugh!”
Her physical condition was messed up, but this much could be solved by using magic. She was weak in healing magic, but if she roughly patched up the parts needed to move, then she could manage it.
Tiamat jumped up from her seat with her bare feet. She stepped on the almost collapsed building and jumped out of the place, and she immediately started running quickly. She felt pain every time she ran, but she ignored it.
Fortunately, the place where Kai was fighting was not that far away.
***
In the sky, flying monsters attacked buildings, while the ground was swarmed with monsters trampleing people. Even though Awakened people from other countries were mobilized to save even a little more people, it was impossible to cover the entire huge city.
"Save me, save me!"
People ran away screaming and begging for help to survive. Some people desperately raised their guns, but it didn't work against monsters. A fighter plane fell from the sky and exploded. It was mayhem.
A handsome boy with a strange atmosphere was walking between them.
"Haa."
The boy spread his arms and inhaled deeply. Acrid air stung the tip of his nose. It was a feeling that was not very different from the air of the Demon Realm he knew.
“Yes, this is Hyeon-woo’s hometown.”
Purple eyes looked around. Hyeon-woo said he always wanted to return to his hometown. It was a peaceful place, he said, so one didn't have to fight every day like in the Demon Realm, and one could eat delicious food. He even promised himself that he would spend more than half of the day sleeping, engaging in endless laziness as long as he wanted.
“But doesn't it look very different from the Demon Realm?”
'Boy,' said Alberg, rubbing his chin with his hand. If a place like this was his hometown, wouldn't it be okay to not go to the Demon Realm? He thought so and moved his steps, but a monster that was rampaging like crazy found him.
Red Boar. A huge monster resembling a boar with stiff red fur. The monster looked at Arlberg and let out his snort. Scratching the ground with its forefeet suggested that it was about to charge at any moment.
“Run away!”
He heard someone's cry, and at the same time Red Boar rushed at Alberg. But just as he was about to ram his head into it, a chilling fear enveloped Red Boar. If he got hit, he would die. Realizing that, Red Boar turned and smashed his head into the building.
"It's annoying to walk, but that's fine."
Alberg laid his finger on Red Boar, who was trembling with his head slammed into the wall of a building.
“Kki, kkwiik.”
Red Boar, the size of a truck, meekly approached Alberg and bowed his head. All of her hair, which was normally stiff, was lying down.
Alberg stepped on Red Boar's head and sat down on his back. As soon as he settled down, Red Boar with his head raised began to walk cautiously.
“Uh, Uh?”
People around him doubted their eyes, but what they saw did not change.
“Are you a tamer?”
"So you're saying that you're Awakened? Then you can catch them!"
A few frightened people ran to ask for help, but Alberg did not look back.

'It’s too much.’
Hydra's regenerative power was formidable, but even it had its limits. A wound like this would slow his regenerative powers. In the sky, Spotty aimed for the head, and Kero pranced and bit his ankle. On top of that, it was natural that it would be difficult to hold on, since even the dragon, Two-eyed, was attacking from the front.
"These bastards!"
Just in case, he glanced at Ash, but that side was in trouble as well. No matter how much power he received, he was originally a human, so he couldn't demonstrate the ability of the demons. Besides, the opponent was also bad.
'I'll have to step back soon.'
At this point, the demon summoning ritual would have been almost over. Kai responded passively to the attack and looked for an opportunity to escape.
As if they had noticed that, Two-eyed became more and more tenacious. However, Kai still had a hidden move left, and he planned to use him to get out of his body. He was worried about Hyeon-woo, who hadn't fought yet and stood on the other side, but when he looked around, it didn't look like he would intervene.
'Yeah, you always did.'
Kai gnashed his teeth. And as he was about to blow up the swamp for the net, a familiar voice suddenly resonated in his head.
【Hold out more.】
It was Tiamat, who was summoning demons in the middle of it.
【Make the dragon look nowhere else!】
At the sound of her nervous voice, Kai took his pain and leaped forward, swinging nine necks.
In response, Two-eyed screamed out. At the moment when all creatures flinched at her magical voice, a naked woman jumped in quickly.
'Tiamat!'
Tiamat quickly clung onto Two-eyed’s chest and dug into his flesh, thrusting his forearm into it.
“Kyaaaagh!”
Two-eyed screamed and twisted his body, but Tiamat held on without falling. Just a little bit more. She opened her wound and pushed her torso in. Her body was covered in blood, but she didn't hesitate because she was used to it. As a result of such a desperate attack, she finally found the Dragon Heart!
“Sorry, I have no grudges.”
Tiamat apologized lightly and pushed herself further to dig out the heart. However, the body did not move further and came to a halt. Something was holding her back and preventing her from going any further. Not enough of her, he pulled her with her terrifying power.
"Ack!"
Tiamat, pulled back in an instant, fell down. She was thrown so hard that she couldn't even straighten her body.
"What are you?"
Hyeon-woo, who was clinging to Two-eyed’s scales, asked Tiamat.
“Ahaha.”
Why did it work like this? She was going to run away with the dragon heart. Tiamat gritted her teeth and swept her hair back.
