We had arrived at a warehouse.
Saji and Tsubaki were with me.
"I don't know why Sona Kaichou sent you with us, but you're not taking her from me." Saji was speaking no sense...
I spun Pandora in my hand, and it transformed into a scythe.
Tsubaki looked at the scythe: "Is that a Sacred Gear?"
"No, something similar. Ahem, step aside," I said.
Both of them tried to understand what I meant, but a stray devil dropped from the warehouse ceiling.
It looked like a spider.
If I had to compare it, it was like the spider devil from Chainsaw Man.
It was about to jump on me, but it took a step back and stopped right in front of me.
Tsubaki drew her naginata, and in Saji's hand, Vritra's sacred gear appeared: "Get out of there, Arthur-kun!"
"HUMAN, GET IN MY MOUTH AND DON'T MAKE THIS HARD FOR ME!" It saw me as human.
I wasn't releasing my aura.
Since it sensed that Tsubaki and Saji were devils, it thought the human — me was the weakest link and wanted to take one of us out first.
It tried to grab me, but I swung my scythe in Osiris form and cut off two of the devil's spider legs.
It jumped back, covered in blood: "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!"
A magic circle flew toward me.
Tsubaki leaped onto the devil.
Saji had already bound its legs with Vritra's Sacred Gear.
I looked at the fireball coming straight at me.
"ARTHUR!!" Tsubaki shouted, but I didn't move.
BOOOOOOOOM
The entire warehouse shook.
I was still standing, completely fine.
Pandora disappeared from my hand.
I used Royal Guard.
The devil tried to escape and fired an energy blast similar to a Qi blast toward Tsubaki.
Suddenly, I appeared in front of the devil and placed my hand on its head: "Pathetic."
BOOOOOM
The devil's entire body exploded.
I released all the energy stored with the royal guard.
Saji and Tsubaki stared in shock because while they were still moving, I had killed it in the simplest way possible.
The surrounding walls had collapsed from the attacks, and the entire floor was cracked: "I'm leaving. Tell Sona to send the magic books to my house — and the money we agreed on, too."
"I'll pass it along," Tsubaki said.
Saji: "Damn… that's what I call aura farming…"
