Chapter 723: -713- A pair of peculiar sisters
"W-what...?"
Upon hearing Rozen's words, both Charl and Henri were startled simultaneously.
However, in the next moment, the two girls sensitively noticed a change in the air. The temperature seemed to drop suddenly, making it feel somewhat cold.
Rozen turned around and fixed his gaze straight ahead.
There, a pitch-black shadow abruptly appeared, swaying as it slowly approached them.
"Vroom..."
The suspended fireball seemed to surge with power, expanding the flames and making the surroundings clearer.
Under these circumstances, Charl and Henri finally saw what was approaching. However, in the instant they saw it clearly, both girls screamed in fear.
Even Rozen's pupils dilated, and his expression became grim.
What appeared in front of them was a genuine monster.
It had hands and legs, resembling a human in appearance, but its size was roughly twice that of a human. Its body was grotesquely twisted, resembling both an obese man and a swollen pregnant woman.
The creature's surface was black and seemed to flow like burning flames, covered in numerous eyeballs. That's what this creature looked like.
On the creature's body, countless eyeballs stared simultaneously. Around the eyes, numerous cracks appeared one after another, revealing white teeth.
These disgusting monsters continued to approach one after another, eventually forming a legion that twisted and moved closer to them. Their body shape, posture, and appearance challenged the innate human aversion, making them feel nauseous.
"W-what... is that...!?"
"O-Onee-sama...!"
Charl and Henri embraced each other, involuntarily stepping backward, their faces pale, and their eyes filled with fear.
But just when the two girls retreated due to fear, Rozen forcibly pulled them towards him.
"Don't back off; there's more behind us."
Rozen's voice, suppressing his disgust, sounded, making the two girls realize that behind them in the corridor, these monstrous creatures were emerging one after another from the darkness and approaching them.
In other words, they were surrounded. Completely surrounded by this disgusting horde of monsters. These creatures' eyes fixed on them, emanating madness, terror, and undeniable hostility.
Clearly...
"These guys want to put on a show for us."
Rozen smirked at the sisters behind him.
"If you don't want a passionate hug from those things, you better stick close to me."
Upon hearing this, Charl and Henri not only didn't leave Rozen but clung to his arms, one on each side.
The reason was simple.
The repulsive monsters were already pouncing, uttering inarticulate roars, launching their attacks.
"Yaaaaaaah!"
Charl and Henri screamed loudly. In contrast, Rozen, once in a battle state, remained surprisingly calm.
"Kinu!"
Rozen commanded his guardian spirit, which was ready at all times.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, Rozen's coat on his body moved abruptly, expanding as if inflating for a moment. The hem of the coat transformed into numerous sharp spikes, like spears, shooting out in all directions.
"Pffft!"
A monster couldn't even react and was directly pierced by the black spears. With a tearing sound, it was torn into countless pieces.
"Pffft!" "Pffft!" "Pffft!"
One by one, the monsters were pierced through their bodies by the black spears, impaled on them.
The scene was as if a gigantic black hedgehog had appeared, and the horde of monsters charged at it like a group, all turned into minced meat by the spears.
"Shhh..."
The next second, these black monsters seemed to be vaporized one by one, turning into black smoke and disappearing.
The corridor returned to silence.
Wait...
"Ahhhh!"
"Yaaaah!"
The two sisters clinging tightly to Rozen's arms were still tightly closing their eyes and screaming, making the atmosphere in the corridor even more horrifying.
"Enough! Stop screaming! The monsters are all gone!"
The high-pitched screams from both sides almost shattered Rozen's eardrums. He couldn't help but yell.
"Gone...?"
"Really...?"
Charl and Henri finally opened their eyes, trembling as they looked around.
Their identical reaction made them seem like true sisters. However, as for Henri, she was okay, but who would have thought Charl was so timid? Despite usually putting on an impressive facade, she was just pretending, huh?
She really is a young lady who is not very candid in various aspects.
"So, how long do you plan to cling to me?"
Rozen felt that his hands were tightly attached to their soft figures, and the scent of the girls kept wafting into his nostrils, making him feel uncomfortable. So, he unintentionally mentioned it.
Being reminded by Rozen, Charl and Henri realized that they were tightly holding Rozen's hands, pressing them against their chests.
".....!?"
Charl's face turned completely red.
In this aspect, this young girl seemed to be very candid, blushing rapidly like this every time.
However...
"Yaaah, a man!!!!!"
Henri's reaction was even more exaggerated than Charl's, struggling intensely like she did when she first regained consciousness, and pushed Rozen away forcefully.
Rozen, who didn't expect Henri to react so intensely, was still caught off guard, and he was pushed back, almost stumbling.
"What are you doing?"
Rozen couldn't help but glare at Henri.
"Ei!!!"
Henri immediately seemed as if she had seen something even more terrifying than the monsters from before and pounced onto Charl.
"Alright, alright, it's okay, dear."
Charl finally realized what happened, quickly hugging Henri and soothing her.
Seeing this scene, Rozen's anger gradually dissipated, and he frowned.
Then...
"Could your sister have androphobia(fear of men)?"
Rozen posed this question to Charl. However, Charl remained silent, holding her trembling sister, Henri, close. This only confirmed Rozen's suspicion.
"They really are a pair of peculiar sisters."
Rozen shook his head helplessly.
Just then...
"Swoosh...!"
Accompanied by a faint sonic boom, a fiery red figure passed by and arrived behind Rozen.
"Master's enemy..."
The girl's soft chant sounded behind Rozen, causing a surge of hot air to expand.
The next moment, a delicate, fair, and slender little hand was placed on Rozen's back, making the accumulated hot air explode.
"Boom—!"
Like an explosion, a violent heatwave engulfed Rozen.
