Volume 4 - CH 56.5

Act 4-56.5: Crossroad of Fate(Side: Somni Barrel)

The place he was guided to was an old mansion located in a certain residential area for general students. Just when Somni was wondering to which royalty residence he was about to bring, they arrived in front of the room that look like a living room.[TL: Grotesque–>Otherworldy]

The old man turned around to face him upon arriving in front of the door and,

「Now listen to me. The one who waits inside this room is an extremely powerful person in this world except for a few. This is my last reminder, never forget your manner when you stepped inside.」

And gave a reminder with an extremely sinister smile. His eyes shone in bright red light, and the corner of his lips rose up until his ears. Somni gulped his saliva, expecting the identity of the person waiting behind the door,

「Y-YES!」

Nodded vigorously. That was akin to the survival instinct. At this point, Somni knew that he was completely in the mercy of the old man.

Upon seeing his attitude, the old man nodded in satisfaction and then knocked on the door.

『Enter.』

The door opened slowly along with a man’s loud voice.

「HIIIII!?」

Somni ended up screaming upon seeing the room. No one would blame him for screaming at this point. The reason being the majority of the people inside the room was people that he wouldn’t see in his entire life under normal condition.

There was a man with a lion head, a monster with a long nose, a man with a dragon head, a red-haired youth with pair of vermillion wings on his back, a silver-haired beauty with nine tails, a tall man with a third eye on his forehead.

（CRAAAP!）

Why do I feel that those guys are really bad news?

His breathing became ragged and his heart thumped really hard, almost as if it wanted to break out of the ribcage. His vision dimmed and he fell to his knees, trying his best to maintain his consciousness.

『Hou, it’s rare for a mere human to understand our power in a single glance. His senses is not bad.』

Hearing the remark of the youth with vermillion wings,

『Is that his intuition regarding the level difference? This lad seems to know that in a single glance.』

The man with an intimidating look and a pair of horns growing from his forehead muttered so while crossing his arms.

『I heard that humans would awaken to some sort of special ability when they fell into danger. Is this one such case?』

Hearin the man with a lion head said so with an extremely interesting look on his face,

『At least he is much better in this regard than that undead who don’t know of their place.』

The man with an intimidating look added so.

『Well, I guess we need some change in the air.』

The monster with a long nose clapped his hands. The dread that he felt suddenly vanished.

『Contrary to your appearance, you turned out to be quite skilful eh?』

Hearing the silver-haired woman mutter in admiration,

『Hah! A little trick like this has been this guy’s speciality since a long time ago.』

When the man with a dragon head said so in a spiteful manner,

『And the lizard who can only rely on their brute strength to demolish everything has no right to tell me that.』

The monster with a long nose replied back with another spite.

『And what gives you, gloomy folks, the right to call us lizard?』

The man with a dragon head asked so, sparks of fire spewed from the corner of his lips as he glared at the monster with a long nose with bloodshot eyes, the monster with a long nose was staring back at the man with a dragon head.

『Beelzebub debu~♪ Beelzebub debu~~♪』

Suddenly, a huge, bipedal fly appeared in the centre of the room along with that strange song.

The bipedal fly then faces toward the door in the interior of the room and kneels. The dangerous atmosphere in the room dispersed immediately, all otherworldy beings who bickered till just a moment ago stopped at once and kneeled in the same direction.

After a male black skeleton and the old man who guide Somni opened the doors respectfully, a few other people entered the room.

Everyone’s line of sight gathered on the black-haired youth who walking in the centre――

「—!?」

Somni was baffled. The reason the black-haired youth who stood in the centre of the hooded people was none other than Kai Heineman, the man who was despised by Somni and labelled as the worst apostate till just a while ago.
