Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

The girl in the black and white spotted dress, Pest, looked in the direction of the attack that defeated Shustrom. She also saw the defeated Latin, with a lifeless look in her eyes and a hint of dissatisfaction.

"It's okay with Shutrom, but what is that guy Latin doing?"

They had just started the battle and were easily defeated by the other side. How can they continue to demonstrate the prestige of the community?

Although she expressed dissatisfaction, Pest still chose to head towards the direction where Fujimaru Ritsuka and La Ting were.

Not to mention that there are still a lot of things that La Ting has to do next. Just letting the other party arrest members of their community is also an insult to her and she cannot just sit there and do nothing.

Moreover, they underestimated the strength of the little girl holding the staff, so the failure could not be blamed entirely on La Tine.

Anyway, it's just a matter of changing the order. Let's defeat the guy who defeated La Ting first.

“—Don’t even think about it!”

However, at this moment, a spear made of black shadows cut through the air and stabbed towards the opponent. Pest casually raised one hand, creating a gust of black wind to easily block the attack against her.

At the same time, Leticia's figure appeared in front of her again, blocking her way.

"Are you anxious because you saw your companion being defeated so easily? But your opponent is me!"

"opponent?"

Hearing this, Pest turned his gaze back to her and said in a calm tone:

"You seem to have made a mistake. I was just playing with you. I can't be considered your opponent."

"The result disappointed me... Are you really a pure-blooded vampire?"

"That's a harsh evaluation... I fought hard..."

There was a hint of bitterness in Leticia's smile, but Pest was too lazy to pay attention to her at this time and pronounced mercilessly:

"Forget it. I don't want to play anymore. I don't need a guy like you."

"So go to hell."

Pest instantly accelerated and approached Leticia, intending to quickly end the battle.

However, at this moment, a sly smile appeared on Leticia's face. Instead of retreating, she advanced, flapping her wings with all her strength to get closer to Pest at a faster speed. She took out a long-handled spear from the gift card and pierced the girl's chest with a gust of wind!

The weakness, words and even expressions in the fight just now were nothing but wrong messages she deliberately showed to the opponent in order to prepare the fatal blow that would decide the outcome!

“——It hurts.”

"What……!?"

Unfortunately, as Pest's voice without intonation rang out, Leticia was shocked to find that the tip of the spear that had touched the opponent's chest had flattened, and her carefully planned full-strength attack could not even break the defense!

"...It hurts, it hurts a lot... But I forgive you, and I take back what I said before."

"It looks like you would make a good chess piece."

A smile finally appeared on Pest's face, and a black wind was released from his body, instantly enveloping Leticia. The dim, slightly warm, and strange black wind slowly eroded Leticia's consciousness.

"—!"

But at this moment, alarm bells suddenly rang in Pest's mind. He immediately gave up on invading Leticia and retreated.

The next moment, the powerful light that destroyed the giant soldier with one blow appeared at the place where Pest was originally located. Although it did not successfully hit the opponent, it also separated the two sides.

Leticia seized the opportunity and quickly retreated, but even though she was only eroded by the black wind for a moment, she still felt weak, and even flapping her wings was a little difficult.

With such a powerful curse, who is the other party...?

But before she could think carefully, her body suddenly glowed with light, and her originally weak body immediately returned to its original state.

"This is?"

Leticia looked surprised, then seemed to remember something and quickly looked in the direction of Fujimaru Ritsuka. The other party also looked at her from a distance and gave her a thumbs up to show encouragement.

"Master Ritsuka..."

Seeing this, Leticia smiled with relief, but Pest opposite her frowned deeply and muttered in dissatisfaction:

"Purification magic?... How troublesome..."

The essence of her abilities is not something that can be removed by purification magic, but due to her current form of existence, her abilities have been enhanced and sublimated into a curse-like existence, which can be affected by purification magic.

But even so, her ability cannot be removed by ordinary purification magic.

Sure enough, the girl holding the staff was really tricky.

Pest finally realized this deeply.

However, at this moment, even if she wanted to kill Fujimaru Ritsuka first, she couldn't do it, because -

A scorching red flash came from the side. Pest dodged again and looked towards the source of the attack. In the sky, she saw the North District's [Class Ruler] - Sandra, with a fiercely burning flame dragon pattern raised high. She was surrounded by dragon-shaped flames and stared at her seriously. She asked in a deep voice:

"…What is your purpose, Demon King of Hamel?"

The target appeared, but unfortunately the timing was not right.

Although thinking this in his heart, Pest did not show the slightest fear. Instead, he smiled and said:

"You finally showed up. I was worried that you might have run away."

"By the way, the official name of my gift is [Black Death Spot Demon King], don't make a mistake."

……

Sandra finally appeared and cooperated with Leticia to fight the enemy, finally presenting a temporary state of equal strength.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not continue to attack, but thought about the current situation.

After all, in addition to defeating the opponent's leader, their victory condition also requires solving the second puzzle to truly pass the level.

Break the false heritage and establish the true heritage.

She is self-aware and doesn't expect to solve the puzzle by herself. But in this time when time counts, there is probably only one thing she can do, right?

"--call."

She exhaled lightly, thinking of the best candidate who would be most suitable for the current situation. The Command Seal on the back of her right hand glowed red again. At the same time, a summoning circle composed of pure magic power gradually emerged in front of her.

A clear figure appeared out of nowhere in the center of the summoning circle. It was a handsome young man with his hair combed close to his scalp.

The other person was wearing white gloves, holding a cane in one hand and a pipe in the other. He was wearing a brown windbreaker and had a faint smile on his face. He stood there gracefully, like a perfect British gentleman.

Seeing the other person, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately felt relieved and called out the other person's name happily.

"Holmes dear!"

Sherlock Holmes is a detective who can solve all kinds of mysteries. He is also one of the ancestors of the "detective" that appeared in many mystery novels in later generations. He is the most famous detective in the world and the crystallization of the concept of "detective".

When it comes to solving puzzles, there is probably no one in Chaldea who is more suitable, better at it, or more powerful than him.

"As you can see, it's me."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka happy about his arrival, Holmes raised his lips slightly and asked with a smile:

"So, did you encounter any difficulties this time?"
