Night has fallen, and a thick white fog is filling the plains in the distance and the dense forests on the border.
At this time, under the night, at the fork between Lefaus Avenue and Hastur territory, there was a man with short dark green hair, wearing a small round hat, with a thin figure and eyes full of The ferocious and comical weirdo, with his head tilted and his waist bent, was leading a few people wearing dark red robes, white gloves on their hands, and strange pointed hats on their heads. Only a pair of scarlet eyes and forehead were exposed. An entourage with a strange symbol painted on it came here, and curiously looked at a small wooden sign that was inserted next to the intersection that must be passed when entering the original Roswaal Territory.
"oh?"
"let me see……"
The weird man with the ferocious funny and weird eyes tilted his head, bent over and walked to the wooden sign with a grin. Then he almost put his face in front of the wooden sign with magic fluorescent fonts, and began to read word for word. Looked up.
"Queen Anne?"
"Burn..."
“Unpredictable??”
"funny!"
"It's so funny..."
"This is a very, very, very interesting sight, my head is shaking..."
"It's really really..."
Bang! !
After reading the content on the wooden sign, the weird man with the ferocious funny suddenly kicked the wooden sign to the ground with a light kick, and then began to cover his green-haired head hysterically. Yelled and chewed his own fingers, looking a little hysterical?
"It's really..."
"You are really lazy, a broken wooden sign..."
"You want us to give up this extremely great and sacred trial?"
"Jiejiejiejiejie..."
"go!"
"Continue to act according to the original plan and kill everyone in this territory!"
"Just let that lazy guy burn us."
After venting inexplicably, for a long time, the weirdo with the ferocious and funny eyes, tilted his head, and bent over suddenly stood up straight, then put his hands behind his back and looked coldly at his surroundings. The followers wearing dark red robes ordered.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The followers did not speak, but bowed to him one after another. They didn't know what kind of magic they used, but they all turned out like a pool of black water, or was it some kind of teleportation skill? In short, they all merged into the earth and disappeared in an instant.
"Jiejiejiejiejie..."
Just like that, in the misty night, as the body also wearing a dark red robe began to twist, that perverted, sinister and extremely arrogant laughter began to sound in this quiet place in the woods. It echoed on the road, almost like a ghost in the middle of the night.
"..."
(°ー°〃)
When the wooden sign was kicked down, in the castle-like mansion further inside the territory, Anne, who was having dinner with Emilia, suddenly turned her head with something in mind, and subconsciously turned towards Looking out the window in a certain direction.
"??"
Seeing Anne's appearance, Emilia followed Anne's gaze and looked outside, but she saw nothing.
She just saw that it was foggy outside, and the fog seemed to be quite heavy, so that the dark forest in the distance and the stars in the sky were no longer visible, and even the moonlight shining on the ground was hazy. , always made her feel a little uneasy and strange in her heart.
"What's wrong?"
"Annie?"
"Is there any problem out there?"
Emilia didn't know what was wrong. After thinking about it, she put down the tableware in her hand and asked cautiously.
Border Commissioner Roswaal L. Metzas went to investigate the situation at noon, but he has not come back until now. Thinking about the wooden sign that Annie asked Rem and Ram to put in at dusk, Emilia couldn't help but think more.
"nothing!"
(?~?)
"That means those annoying bad guys are coming. Maybe everyone won't be able to sleep well tonight..."
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
"correct!"
(?_?)ヾ
"Where are Ram and Rem?"
く(＾_?)ゝ
First curling her lips, and then sighing, Anne briefly explained what she noticed, and then casually asked about her two twin maids.
"they……"
"Weren't they sent by you to the village to protect the villagers?"
"etc!"
"Annie, did you just say...that bad people came to our territory?!"
"What do you need me to do?"
"Can Rem and Ram take care of an entire village?"
"Do you want me to help them?"
Hearing Anne's words, Emilia was startled, and then stood up directly. She was a little worried that Rem and Ram wouldn't be able to cope with it, so she hurriedly made random suggestions, and was really ready to leave her seat and go out. Walk.
"Don't go."
"That's not necessary!"
At this time, another person came to the restaurant.
"They have the thing she gave them, so there must be no problem. Emilia, just stay in the mansion!"
"and……"
"Those people are also coming towards the mansion, and their number is no less than those heading towards the village!"
It turned out that this time it was Beatrice, that Betty guy.
As she spoke, she sat directly on an empty seat, then reached out to grab the food on the table and ate it in big gulps.
After hiding from Annie for several days, and seeing an enemy attacking outside, she felt that a bad little girl would definitely not come to trouble her at this time, so she finally couldn't recognize it and came out to move around. Find something to eat.
"ah!"
"They're already here?"
She was startled again, and then Emilia could no longer care about anything else. She quickly trotted to the window sill and began to look out the window cautiously.
However……
In the dark night and heavy fog, she looked out from the bright dining room of the mansion and could not see anything.
…
At this time, in the territorial village not too far away from the mansion and castle, Rem and Ram had already taken the lead in contacting the intruders who were obviously ill-intentioned.
"..."
"..."
I don’t know when they appeared at the entrance of the village, and there were more and more of them, as if they were emerging directly from the earth. They were wearing dark red robes, white gloves on their hands, and strange pointed hats on their heads. The intruder had a pair of scarlet eyes and a strange symbol painted on his forehead. Looking at the enemies deeply etched in their memories, Ram and Rem's eyes instantly turned red.
However, Rem and Ram still managed to suppress their anger and maintain basic sanity.
Because they knew that the strength of the two sisters alone would definitely not be the opponent of those enemies, let alone the need to protect the villagers who were hiding in their houses and closing the doors and windows.
However, the twin sisters did not take the initiative to attack, but that does not mean that the enemies wearing dark red burqas will remain indifferent!
Isn’t this?
While they were hesitating to continue the confrontation with the enemy, those people suddenly took out a short sword from nowhere and locked their eyes cruelly on them with a pair of crazy eyes.
"elder sister."
"There are many enemies, and they are all members of the Witch Cult. I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to defend this place."
"Um!"
"Rem, you are right. Not only can we not be able to defend it, but we may not be able to defeat it even if we fight..."
"What should we do?"
"I have no choice but to find help."
"helper……"
"ah!"
"Do you really want to use what the master gave you?"
"Um!"
"In this case, it must be used, right?"
"But, sister, I'm a little scared..."
"Are you afraid it won't be able to defeat you?"
"No!"
"No, I just think that thing... it's a bit too evil..."
"makes sense."
"But there's nothing we can do, Rem, we can't defeat the enemy on our own..."
"so……"
"Just use it."
"..."
"Okay, sister, I'll listen to you, use it."
He and his sister communicated quietly and briefly for a while, and saw that the Witch Cult followers were grinning and threatening them step by step, and the terrifying daggers in their hands were shining with cold light. Rem, knowing that they would be thrown at any time, no longer dared to hesitate, and resolutely nodded and agreed to his sister using the secret weapon.
That was the 'killer weapon' given to them when they were sent out by their Master Anne to perform a mission. It was said that when they encountered an enemy they couldn't defeat, they would take out the secret weapon and then it could solve any problem?
"Um!"
"Just use it first and see."
There was no choice anyway, so Ram took out a large glass bottle from the backpack behind him.
Inside, there was a squirming, unknown monster that looked like an octopus, but had countless small eyes and sharp teeth.
"..."
"Come out!"
"N'Zoth, the God of Nightmares and the Demon of Thousand Beards, remember your promise to your master and help us destroy those enemies!!"
After taking a deep breath, Ram resolutely pulled out the small, seemingly ordinary cork. At the same time, he shouted loudly and pointed the mouth of the bottle at the large group of witches who were planning to surround the two sisters. Teach the believers.
"Huh?"
"ah!!"
Soon, Ram and Rem, who were still a little worried at first, both exclaimed.
At this time, they saw that the obviously huge octopus monster could actually slide out of the small bottle mouth as if it were made of soft mud.
"ha!"
"Brilliant, yet terrifying..."
Immediately afterwards, as soon as the octopus monster N'zoth landed on the ground, his body quickly expanded, and then with a suppressed groan, it quickly became as big as a wooden house, and it was as big as an ordinary tree. It was so high that it directly blocked the two sisters Rem and Ram.
"!!"
"W-what monster?"
"Is it an elf?"
"..."
"should be……"
"laugh!"
In fact, the followers of the Witch Cult were also shocked when they saw the octopus being released.
However, they were well-informed and quickly calmed down, and did not think there was anything special about an ugly 'elf'.
"Leave it alone!"
"superior!"
"Kill it! Kill them!"
"Empty the entire village, leaving no one behind!!"
Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
Immediately afterwards, no one knew who gave the order first, and a short sword flew towards N'zoth at high speed, and was directly nailed to its huge body.
"??"
I don’t know how many years have passed, but before N’Zos, who had just been able to breathe a breath of fresh air, had time to deliver a release speech, he discovered...
It seems to be under attack?
Then, the pairs of orange eyeballs on its ferocious head and the bright vertical pupils inside all looked towards his body.
With just one glance, it saw the ridiculous dagger with its handle inserted into its body at this time.
"Well……"
It's a pity that N'zoth only shook the octopus's body lightly to shake off all the daggers from its body, and the places where the daggers were inserted just now were just sunken in, and there were no traces at all. It can pierce its skin without even leaving a white mark.
"Stupid mortal..."
When he saw that the witch cultists wearing dark red robes were planning to cast fire spells after throwing away their daggers, N'Zoth became angry on the spot.
So, as a last resort, it had no choice but to temporarily skip its long-prepared entrance speech and skip that important paragraph.
"Come out!"
"Children of N'Zoth, attack for the sake of noble freedom!"
"Kill them all!!"
As N'Zoth shook again, almost at the same time, countless black mist or energy-like things were projected from his body in all directions.
What's even more surprising is that when the black mist or energy fell to the ground, countless octopus monsters appeared from the black mist, and they actually rushed out of the black mist one after another.
Looking at it, they all look the same. They look a little shorter than normal adults. They all have octopus-like lower limbs, human-like bodies, 'hands' full of suckers, and a big octopus head. A humanoid monster, and probably only as tall as Rem and Ram?
Anyway, just looking at them is enough to make the two sisters Ram and Rem feel extremely shabby, weird and scary.
"elder sister!"
"They're so scary!"
"Um!"
"Rem, they are so scary..."
Seeing their identical appearance, crazily wriggling tentacles, and bumps on them, seeing that terrifying appearance, Ram and Rem, who originally had trypophobia, subconsciously clamped their legs together and tightened their arms. Hug each other tightly.
"Ouch~!"
"Ho~!"
"Oh~!!"
"!!"
After being summoned, the heirs of N'zoth did not hesitate and charged towards the Witch Cult members who were also frightened with strange screams. The two sides started shouting and fighting with each other directly on the outskirts and entrance of the village. Started hacking and killing.
but……
Soon, whether it was Ram, Rem, or the followers of the Witch Cult, everyone was shocked to discover that the so-called 'sons of N'Zoth' seemed to be of no use? Because, they were easily hacked or blasted to death in large areas very quickly, but their results were not even a single one. It seemed a bit futile?
"!!"
"Mr. N'Zos?"
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Ram and Rem were shocked and uncertain, so they both looked at the big octopus monster En'zoth they had released, wondering why the other party kept summoning those seemingly A monster octopus man with no great use.
"Two distinguished ladies, please don't worry..."
"huh huh huh huh……"
"The descendants of N'Zoth are not so easy to deal with. The more they die now, the more powerful the remaining ones will be!"
"Now……"
"Do you see it?"
Following N'Zoth's words, as more N'Zoth's heirs fell, the two sisters Ram and Rem were soon surprised to see:
Whenever a descendant of N'Zoth is killed, they will turn into black mist with wailing sounds, explode and return to all the living octopus monsters. Then, every time a black mist is obtained, those The octopus monster who is still alive seems to have become stronger?
And now, as they fight, their bodies are gradually getting taller, and their arms and those sucking tentacles like feet are getting thicker and longer?
————
Name: Descendants of N'Zoth
Rarity: Common
Type: follower

"!!"
"What kind of monster is this!"
"Why is it getting more and more difficult?"
"not good!"
“There are so many of them…ughhhh!!”
"Something's wrong!"
"They're getting bigger!"
"Use magic quickly!"
"No! They can't resist!!"
"quick!"
"Quickly, quickly retreat!!"
At this time, the witch cultists who were fighting fiercely in the distance also discovered that as the battle progressed and the more octopus monsters they killed, the remaining octopus monsters would become stronger and stronger?
Just like that, after the overwhelming number of N'zoth's descendants were hacked to death by them, about one or two hundred of them were killed, the followers of the Witch Cult finally discovered in despair:
The weak octopus monsters that were originally capable of cutting down several with one knife have now grown to the point where they cannot be cut down. Their magic and flying knife attacks can't even break through the opponent's slimy-looking soft skin?
Moreover, the opponent's speed, size, and strength have all changed a lot, and they are even so powerful that if an ordinary tentacle is thrown over, it can easily fly away or crush the bodies of several of their companions?
"Want to escape?"
"Uh huh huh..."
"Whispers sounded, chaos came..."
"Dream with me!"
Seeing the enemy trying to escape after being defeated, N'Zoth began to tremble again.
Then, more black energy was thrown into the distant woods.
Immediately afterwards, more and more descendants of N'Zos appeared in the woods around the village. They appeared directly from the black mist on the ground, and then surrounded those who wanted to All escape routes for the witch cultists who fled into the woods.
"don't want!"
"Wow!!"
Afterwards, the battle became one-sided, and various screams came one after another in the woods, whether they were from those who fled into the woods, or from the Witch Cult members who fled to the ashes burned by a certain bear. They were all surrounded by the descendants of N'Zoth, whose number probably exceeded several thousand.
"Help, help!!!"
"Ouch~!!"
"puff!!"
"No!!!"
At this time, just by listening, Ram and Rem could roughly understand what the evildoers of the Witch Cult were encountering.
Not long after, those sounds gradually died down, and the village became quiet again.
"..."
Hearing that there were no more sounds of fighting and screaming around, Rem and her sister looked at each other and had to put down the chain meteor hammer that she had been holding in her hand just now.
She knew that the 'Enzos' who had just been released by the two sisters seemed to be really powerful. At least the other party's method of summoning helpers was very reliable, so that there was no one from the two sisters to take action in the village. necessary?
"Well……"
"Two distinguished ladies..."
"My heirs are searching for the remaining enemies in the territory. There shouldn't be any big problem. The enemies will be eliminated soon. The two ladies can go back to the castle to rest."
"correct!"
"Um...please remember to say a few kind words for me in front of Lady Anne?"
Lowering its head, with the slightly nervous expressions of the two sisters Rem and Ram, N'zoth said this to them in an extremely flattering manner. Then, it shrank by itself and crawled into the bottle that Ram was still holding. In that glass bottle, he even thoughtfully used a slender tentacle to roll up the cork on the ground and re-cork the bottle that contained it?
Although it was released, N'Zos did not dare to escape because it knew better than anyone else that no matter what it did, it would definitely not be able to escape from the clutches of that scary little girl.
Moreover, at that time, when its brothers were still hesitating, it took the lead in responding to that scary little girl, agreed to all the other party's conditions, and was willing to become the weapon of these two maids for free, just for the sake of being like Today is just an opportunity to come out and show off.
It knows that if it wants to gain freedom in the true sense, there is one and only one way, and that is: follow the instructions of that bad little girl honestly, protect the two twin maids in front of it, and then do it again Well whatever the two twin maids command it to do!
"..."
"..."
Ram and Rem looked at each other, then looked at the bottles in their hands. After seeing that Mr. Nzos, although he looked ferocious and terrifying, was unusually strong and gentle, the two sisters relaxed. He sounded completely relieved.
"elder sister."
"Are we going back to the mansion?"
"I don't know what the situation is like over there. Rem is a little worried."
"Um……"
"Now that the enemies here have been repulsed, let's go back!"
I looked at the descendants of N'zoth who were still wandering around, and saw that they had begun to corrode and decompose the corpses of the Witch Cult members in an orderly manner. Then I looked at the children who only dared to hide in the house to observe secretly, but they didn't even dare to hide in the house. The villagers did not dare to come out, and there must have been no casualties. In the end, Ram nodded happily and agreed to his sister's suggestion.
So, the two sisters put away the bottles, turned around and ran towards the mansion.
Now they are definitely fine here, but they are still a little worried about Lady Emilia and their master in the mansion. After all, in their opinion, if the enemy is really targeting Emilia, If Ya or their master goes, the enemy's main force should be attacking the mansion?
'What kind of demihuman is that? '
'have no idea......'
'Never seen...'
'Mom, those people outside are so scary! '
'Shh...'
'Keep it down, don't let them hear. '
'But......'
'Aren't they here to help us? '
'Whether it is or not, you are not allowed to go out, no one is allowed to go out! '
'Did you hear that? ! '
'yes......'
'...'
After confirming that the battle was over and that Ram and Rem had left, the villagers in Alam Village began to nervously peek at the situation outside through windows or closed wooden doors and whisper.
However, none of them dared to come out!
For ignorant and simple villagers like them, whether it is those weirdos wearing dark red smocks or those demi-humans with countless tentacles, they are all terrifying existences that they cannot afford to offend. Therefore, according to The lord's maid, staying in their respective homes until dawn according to Ram and Rem's instructions, is their best choice now.
