The battle ended, and the smell of blood dissipated.
People watched the giant disappear, but no one noticed an ordinary blonde girl standing quietly on the bridge.
She snapped her fingers lightly.
As her domain expanded, Fujimaru Ritsuka sensed the Assassin's spirit origin.
Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed softly.
She saw Ryunosuke Uryu, who had fallen to the ground and been severely reprimanded by the people, stumble away.
People are still too kind-hearted.
But it's true... killing is wrong.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
"hateful...!"
The dark alleyways reeked of a foul, metallic stench, and bright red bloodstains clung to the cobblestones. The serial killer leaned against the cold wall, clutching his bleeding forehead.
He was muttering to himself.
"Kill them all..."
"I'm going to kill them all."
He gripped the knife tightly in his hand, the blade gleaming with a cold silver light under the moonlight.
Pain and anger intertwined, causing madness to burn in Ryunosuke's eyes.
"Those bastards, and that light—"
"I'm going to kill them all and turn them into the greatest works of art!"
"Kill them all, kill them all... kill them all, kill them all, kill them all..."
"Heh...hehehe...Lord Bluebeard, just you wait...I'll definitely kill all those people...hehehehehehe..."
Ryunosuke Uryu grinned and laughed maniacally.
His face was as distorted and terrifying as those of murderers in horror movies... If it were just an ordinary person, they would probably be terrified upon meeting him.
"So, who are you going to kill?"
A clear and pleasant voice sounded from behind.
In this deserted and silent dark alley, it was as clear and bright as thunder in the night.
"—?!"
Ryunosuke Usui felt a chill run down his spine.
"who?"
Who...
The girl chuckled softly, her short golden hair billowing in the darkness, her scarlet eyes fixed on Ryunosuke Uryuu.
"Shh-"
Fujimaru Ritsuka gently placed her index finger to her lips.
She had a gentle smile on her face.
If there are angels in this world, they must look like this.
Even Ryunosuke Uryu couldn't help but admire the other's perfection and purity.
He wanted to use a dagger to slit the other person's throat and cut open their abdomen, to see the beautiful, flower-like blood gush out.
How beautiful, how alluring...how...those beautiful, jewel-like red eyes must have been as they gradually lost their life force.
"Om~~"
Where did that bell come from?!
Ryunosuke Uryu looked up in surprise.
What exactly is it...?
what happened!
The blonde Shao Liu Qi Yi Er Ba Si Qi Ba Nu's smile was like the moonlight that was being sprinkled down.
She just stared at Ryunosuke Uryu in silence, her eyes filled with the look of someone looking at a dead man.
Don't be so surprised.
"It's just that when the evening bell tolls, I'm here to deliver my verdict to you."
The blonde girl had a warm smile, but her words were icy cold.
"You don't actually think that after doing so many evil deeds... you can get away with it all, do you, Caster's Master?"
"I should have gotten rid of you much sooner—"
The blonde girl's words sentenced the murderer to death, but this was definitely not a form of vigilante justice driven by Fujimaru Ritsuka's own anger...
Rather, it is the guidance and judgment of the evening bell.
This is the karmic retribution for all the evil deeds committed by Ryunosuke Isao.
"What a joke!"
Ryunosuke Uryu, who sees himself as the abuser rather than the victim, is unaware that everything has changed.
Or...
He is no longer the dominant party.
"Heh...hehehe...hehehehehehe..."
Unable to grasp this point, Ryunosuke brandished his blade and charged at Fujimaru Ritsuka almost like a madman!
"I'll kill you! This is God's toy box, a place where God plays with everyone! Life is so boring, let me find some excitement—"
"Just to kill you and see the look of fear on your face—"
Ryunosuke Uryuu raised his sharp dagger and was about to stab Ritsuka Fujimaru!
"Who did you kill..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka found it somewhat amusing.
"me?"
Is this guy planning to kill me with a knife?
It's not that I'm underestimating the other party, but if you want to kill Fujimaru Ritsuka, who is a True Ancestor, you should at least use some means, right?
Even using a handgun would be quite an achievement.
With a small knife, you might not even be able to kill an ordinary person.
We were really underestimated.
Gently raising her fingers to press against the cold blade tip, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of energy.
Ryunosuke Amusei, stared at by those scarlet eyes, suddenly felt his whole body stiffen. He stared in disbelief at Fujimaru Ritsuka, holding his breath with difficulty...
monster--
It was a monster that even I could not compare to.
Ryunosuke Uryu shouldn't have felt any fear.
However, his body seemed to be nailed to the wall by an invisible force, and he was completely unable to move.
"Who exactly are you?!"
"Well, I should say... a passing vampire progenitor... whatever, it doesn't matter."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice rang out in the darkness.
Creatures that only appear in legends.
A monster that takes lives in the darkness.
But, I don't know why...
Ryunosuke Uryu felt extremely terrified, so much so that he trembled all over.
What did you do to me?
"I can't believe it," Ryunosuke Uryu asked.
Why would a serial killer who doesn't even feel his own death and pain, or even a demon who considers himself an artist, feel fear?
The answer is 【Rainbow Demon Eye】.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes can bewitch and control people's spirits.
Although she doesn't usually use them, that doesn't mean Fujimaru Ritsuka has completely abandoned the power of these Mystic Eyes.
"Are you curious?"
"Is it fear or joy? I once heard it said that fear and joy are actually interconnected, and that this pleasure might be a sign of a personality flaw..."
So, don't be such a spoilsport.
“These eyes can infuse emotions, a power that is forbidden to the point of violating human ethics—but... they are perfect for your judgment.”
Fujimaru Ritsuka flicked her fingers lightly.
He flicked the sharp dagger out of Ryunosuke's hand.
"I saw..."
"Your and Bluebeard's stronghold."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice was cold and ruthless.
She is actually a very gentle, kind, and loving True Ancestor Master.
But... when she saw Caster's offerings, children's corpses, and various instruments of torture at Ryunosuke's base.
Fujimaru Ritsuka was furious.
How angry...
Enraged to the point that the surrounding stench of blood could barely suppress his bloodlust, his human reason now overwhelmingly endorsed the True Ancestor's "tyranny."
"Those so-called magnificent [art] —"
"So I decided... I decided to let you experience it..."
"The fear and despair of having my life harmed by you."
The Rainbow Eyes instilled this fear and despair into Ryunosuke's spirit.
"Ahhhh... You mean, I'm no longer the creator of art, but the work itself? Art that allows you to personally experience fear—"
Ryunosuke opened his mouth in fear and then said something that even Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't expect.
Fujimaru Ritsuka:?
She suddenly discovered something outrageous.
This person is not a bad person.
Or rather, not the kind of evil person that ordinary people understand.
Human society does have terms to describe them, such as mentally ill or abnormal.
"Ah~~"
This was probably the first time in her life that she had given up on saving someone.
Even equal punishment cannot make the other person understand the meaning of life...
The other person's life...
hum~~
The evening bells provided the answer.
This person's life is meaningless.
