"Too weak," Shesi said, and a surge of magic enveloped the demon scythe. The broken part immediately reconnected. Although not a physical repair, the connection was secured by powerful magic, effectively mending it. Shesi twirled the demon scythe, then looked at the tentacles.
"Alright, the cooking utensils are ready! Now it's time to prepare the ingredients!" Shesi cackled, charging at the tentacles. The tentacles frantically tried to block him with their fragmented limbs, but Shesi severed them one by one as he ran.
Just as the tentacle collective, watching the approaching Shesi, was about to retreat, Shesi suddenly vanished. A tremendous sense of danger then assailed it from behind.
"Too slow!" Shesi sliced off a large chunk of flesh from its back. Shesi could have killed it in one blow, but he found great excitement in the fear and desperate attempts to dodge displayed by his opponent, as if toying with a scurrying mouse.
Shesi looked at the flesh he had cut off, then smiled slightly.
"[Raphael] (Flame)!" As Shesi spoke, the flesh in his hand immediately burst into flames, cooking it. Shesi directly put it into his mouth and began to chew.
"Hmm... seems not bad," Shesi laughed maniacally, looking at the 'ingredients' with even greater excitement. Though the tentacle collective clearly lacked intelligence, a profound terror seemed to be visible in its pupils. The collective lowered its gaze to its own body, then its eyes narrowed as it looked at the demon devouring its flesh. The tentacle collective... exploded! It was a complete dust explosion, leaving not even a single piece of flesh behind.
Shesi couldn't help but smile at this sight.
"You have some backbone, I'll give you that. But it seems you were on the verge of collapse anyway, haha, how fun! Now, next..." Shesi looked towards Orobas Coco.
"It's your turn then, the one who attacked my brother."
Orobas Coco, who had woken up long ago but continued to feign unconsciousness to avoid drawing the attention of the two individuals present whom he couldn't afford to provoke, instantly broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Shesi approaching. He then pulled a sphere from his pocket and threw it at Shesi, immediately fleeing towards the exit. Originally, Shesi intended to kill him directly and bury him there, but the object Orobas Coco had just thrown? It seemed to have caught his attention... After all, that thing seemed to have attracted something.
"Who disturbs my..." A demon god wearing an Egyptian pharaoh's hat surveyed the ruined surroundings, then looked at the murderous Shesi.
"Um... do you want to know anything? You can ask me, I know everything. Just... please don't tear down my house," Toto said cautiously to Shesi.
"No, I'm a little hungry, so please... tell me what's good to eat." Shesi's fierce words were cut short as the energy from the magic circle on his temple dissipated. The magic circle shattered, and Shesi's sanity returned. He looked at the demon god Toto in front of him and awkwardly continued his previous sentence.
"Uh... if you're talking about something delicious, it would probably be the strawberries on the backs of the strawberry mice above. They're sweet and tasty," Toto said, though he didn't understand why the aura of the person in front of him had changed so quickly.
"Oh, well thank you very much, I'll just... *hiss*" Shesi felt intense pain throughout his body with every movement, as if he had been struck by a giant hammer. Seeing this, Toto said,
"Your body seems to be overdrawn."
"Ah... probably. After all, the battle just now wasn't something someone of my rank [4] should have been doing." Shesi, dragging his heavy body, walked over to Soi's side and lay down. He then looked at the sweetly sleeping (unconscious) Soi and felt quite annoyed. After a short while, Soi slowly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Shesi looking at him with a concerned expression. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, Soi only felt his face burning. Shesi, meanwhile, hid the hand that had just been frantically slapping Soi's face behind his back. Soi looked at Shesi in confusion, and Shesi immediately explained,
"I accidentally injured you, but that person has already received their deserved punishment, so it's fine," Shesi explained.
Soi nodded doubtfully, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the injury on his face didn't look like an accident. Soi turned around and saw the demon god Toto stifling a laugh.
"Ah, hello, I'm... *cough*, I was summoned by the teachers of the demon school to guard... *cough*... the guardian god of the seeds... *cough*." Toto clearly couldn't hold it in much longer. At Shesi's urging, he returned underground. After all, the seeds had already been taken, so there was no need for him to stay here. It was time to go back and check. After all, this kind of class, which only takes up 30... um... it seems not even 30 minutes a year, is very mentally taxing.
Shesi lay directly down in the spot where Soi had been lying... Hmm, there was still some residual warmth, a good sign.
"I'm going to rest, Soi-kun. Keep watch for me, thank you." Shesi commanded without ceremony, as he urgently needed to recover his strength.
At this moment, three heads appeared at the entrance: Iruma, Amphis Navis, and the recently fled Orobas Coco.
Orobas Coco hid somewhat fearfully behind Iruma.
"Your brother really turned into a monster! We should tell the teachers quickly!"
Orobas Coco said anxiously. It turned out that after Orobas Coco escaped, he immediately met Iruma. After learning that Orobas Coco had been misled, Iruma easily forgave him. However, upon hearing that his brother had turned into a monster, he immediately rushed in to check. Orobas Coco initially wanted to stop Iruma, but seeing Iruma's determined eyes, he chose to accompany him. However, the recent events had left a significant psychological shadow on Orobas Coco.
Then, the three of them saw Shesi lying in the ruins. The ceiling seemed to have been broken through, and a ray of sunlight shone on Shesi's sleeping face, giving the young man a sense of sacredness.
When Shesi woke up, the sky had completely darkened. He turned his head and saw Iruma, Orobas Coco, Amphis Navis, and Soi by his side, warming themselves by a fire.
"Ah... that was a good sleep." Shesi got up. Although his body still ached, the pain seemed to have lessened considerably. Seeing his brother awake, Iruma immediately ran over to him, asking with concern,
"Brother, how are you?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, just a little tired." Shesi said, patting Iruma's head. At this moment, Orobas Coco also walked over.
"I'm very sorry for attacking your brother, I... I was just a little envious..." Orobas Coco said regretfully.
Iruma said to Shesi,
"He already apologized to me just now, and I've forgiven him. After all, he was also misled."
Shesi sighed at these words.
"You're still too kind. But never mind... Hmm, by the way, Orobas Coco, before you met Iruma, did you encounter anyone else from the Misfit Class?"
