A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"That's all..."

Beora took out all the potions in her backpack and explained their uses to us one by one.

"...I never thought that Miss Beola would be so talented in alchemy... Thanks to you, maybe we still have a chance to fight..."

"From what Miss An said, have you always regarded me as..."

"No, absolutely not."

"Well... I won't care about it..."

"Thank you for your understanding... In that case, everyone recover as soon as possible. Armand will not stop and wait for us. Get close to her as soon as possible to see what she wants to do."

"Hey wait, don't drink that bottle..."

Beora stopped Mei from picking up a bottle of transparent potion.

"Huh? What's wrong with this bottle? Is it poisonous?"

"Um... not really... it's just that... anyway, I can't drink it."

"Tsk, if you don't want to drink then don't drink..."

After throwing the potion that erased her existence back to Beorra, Mei picked up another bottle of normal recovery potion and drank it all in one gulp.

......

"Okay, let's go!"

After a brief recovery, we set off again.

"Ms. An, if you really want to fight Ms. Armand..."

I asked.

"The chance of winning is zero." Miss An blurted out.

Come to think of it......

"But at this point, the possibility of us fighting her is close to zero..."

"On the contrary, we should now regard the queen as the biggest threat. The situation is not much better."

"Armand's position is still unclear, and I know nothing about the Queen's attitude, so I dare not chase after Armand directly, otherwise I will just die in vain..."

"By the way, I saw two vampires fighting just now? One of them must not be on Armand's side..."

To be precise, neither party is on Ms. Armand's side...

"Ms. An, that's the wild vampire that we talked about before, the first one to enter the dungeon..."

"Hmm? Doesn't that mean the core of the maze is on her?"

"It looks like this."

The master mentioned that the power that did not belong to Carriv probably came from the core of the labyrinth.

"Then the question is, how did a wild vampire get into such a deep place? You have seen the situation. The vampires and those ancient vampires are incestuous. There is no reason to let a wild vampire in."

This is also a question I have been thinking about.

How did Carriv pass through the empty entrance filled with vampires, reach the depths, and even grasp the core of the maze?

Even Ms. Armand was not completely sure that she could break in alone, so she mobilized a large number of vampires for this purpose.

unless......

"Unless someone let her in..."

This person can only be Queen Luna.

"Then this indirectly proves one thing. All the ancient vampires in this cave are under the control of the queen."

Miss An came to a conclusion.

In this way, Queen Luna's attitude is very clear.

Because she accepted Carriv and was even willing to hand over the core of the maze to her...it is enough to show that Queen Luna is different from these ancient vampires and is not an unreasonable and unintelligent existence.

She doesn't want people to get close to her...or to be more precise, she doesn't want "certain people" to get close to her.

And who are these “certain people”?

The vampires? Or us?

To be honest, I prefer Ms. Armand herself.

For no other reason than that she is the only person here who deserves the Queen's vigilance.

And Ms. Armand was well aware of this, which is why she continued on her way alone.

Finally, I came back to the question that I have thought about many times...

Why did Ms. Armand come? If it was just a guess before, now there is only one answer.

Come for Queen Luna.

This is a very interesting situation. The Queen doesn't want Madame Armand to get close to her, but Madame Armand comes only for her.

Master said, "In the midst of contradictions and oppositions, the truth emerges like a spark"...

First, the prophecy whose authenticity and completeness have not yet been verified...

Second, the church is the culprit for the sinking of the imperial capital Remulos...

Third, an inexplicable force enveloped the area, blocking the evil spirits and restraining the ancient vampires, preventing them from rushing to the ground...

The clues gradually intertwined.

A guess naturally comes to mind.

Does the meeting between Ms. Armand and Queen Luna mean that the incomplete part of the prophecy will be fulfilled in the near future?

Among the people present, I am perhaps the only one who thinks this way... because I am the only one who has received almost all the information from various sources...

Except for Ms. Armand, she is the one who is playing chess at the highest position in the whole incident.

The only difference between her and me is what Ms. Armand really thinks. But it is precisely this thought that makes me dare not continue to speculate.

Maybe if Master were here...

Thinking of this, I looked at Sophia, and Sophia just felt my gaze and gave me a puzzled look.

Oh, and there’s Sophia. As long as she has enough information, she will be able to figure it out.

I was about to approach Sophia to say something when I heard a loud noise behind me.

"Has the battle just now been decided?"

For a moment, everyone focused their attention on the darkness behind them.

No matter which side won just now, it is disadvantageous to us.

Because none of them are our allies... maybe the vampires would be a little better...

"One person... no, two people... one of them is unconscious."

Mr. Sernes said.

I heard them too, one was an imperceptible sound of footsteps, and the other was a friction sound.

"Bree..."

Old Bree immediately understood what Miss An said. He raised his staff and released a "magic light spell", and the ball of light slowly floated in that direction.

Everyone held their breath, ready to fight at any time.

After a while, the magic light reached the end of the road and illuminated a figure.

"It's shining in my eyes... Please take it away..."

It was Moon's voice, and he was dragging another figure with him.

For some reason, I felt relieved.

......

"Here, I'll give it to you."

As he approached, Moon threw a strangely shaped...cube at me?

Six sides, nine squares in a grid, with obscure patterns engraved on them.

What is this?

"The core of the maze?" Miss An said.

"Yes, the core of the maze, absolutely genuine."

Moon's cloak was also torn, presumably because he had been in a fierce battle, so the thing behind him...

Sure enough, it was Carrives.

Moon seemed to have seen my look and said:

"This is what happens when you hold power that doesn't belong to you, but thanks to what happened before... Never mind, it's nothing."

"You again?" Mr. Senes recognized Moon and spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Mr. Grumpy, save your energy. I don't want to fight now..."

"You didn't kill her, why?" Miss An asked.

"Kill her? Why would I kill her? Do I look so bloodthirsty?"

"I think so." Mei smiled sinisterly.

"You killed a lot of people, didn't you? Especially your own people?"

"Hmm?" Moon looked at Mei with interest.

"It really is a demon possessed, I heard it right..."

"...Don't change the subject. Or did I poke at your soft spot deep inside? Stop pretending. I can see what kind of person you are. Do you really think you can get away with it by acting a few tricks?"

"So? What do you want?"

Faced with Mei's difficulty, Moon did not comment, but just asked lightly.

"An, I think this girl is pretty good. I like her very much. Why not let her join?"

Mr. Senes on the side was even more furious:

"What did you say? Let a vampire join the gravekeepers? No way, I will never agree to it."

May glanced at Mr. Serness before returning her gaze to Moon.

"Are there not enough freaks among you gravekeepers? Besides, there are precedents like this. What do you think, An?"
