Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 211.3
Hilda’s words made Doris realize her priority as a fighting force, and she ran to the other side. At the same time, a black mist with Bibi’s face plastered all over it came rushing towards them from the other side of the corridor, filling up the entire hallway.
“Shoot!”
“–{Water Splash}–!”
“–{Fire Arrow}–!”
“–{Wind Cutter}–!”
Magic attacks were fired at the black mist by Clara and the knights. The demon was hit by the magic that was shot out one after another, and its face, which had stopped moving for a moment as if it were frightened, changed from Bibi’s face to a cracked stone mask.
“It’s working!”
“Wait!”
Ignoring Clara’s warning, a young knight drew her sword and charged forward. But–
“Commander!?”
The demon’s mask changed back into a human face, and the demon’s powerful arm crushed the female knight, who let out a cry of surprise at the sight, as if she were being slammed into a wall.
–Kakaka–
It was probably the face of the commander of the Fifth Order. When that face made a distorted smile like clay, a large amount of blood spilled out from the gap in the crushed wall.
[–Meal–]
“We’re retreating, hurry!”
Clara shouted to the knights, who were frozen in place by the demon’s words saying “meal”.
“But, that demon–”
“It won’t be long before it comes after us! Hurry!”
“Hah! Everyone, retreat while protecting Lady Dandol!”
While glaring at the demon that killed their comrades, the woman knight who seemed to be the captain of the group gave instructions to the other knights.
If they didn’t stop it, it would catch up. Thinking of this, they considered sacrificing one of the knights, but even when they actually started to retreat, the demon didn’t immediately chase after them.
“Lady Dandol…”
As they retreated, the captain asked why, and Clara, holding back the tearful eyes, spoke.
“That demon is ‘playing’ with us. To feed on people’s fear…”
The demon fed on human negative emotions. If the demon was summoned by a legitimate practitioner, it would have restrictions and would not be able to do such a thing to prioritize its work, but if it was given the power to be used only as a blessing, as Clara had foreseen, it would be almost uncontrollable except for its ultimate goal.

“To the courtyard of the Crown Prince’s Villa! We’ll take care of it there until reinforcements arrive!”
“But if it is not coming after us, why don’t we just head for the Royal Guards?”
There should be Royal Guards there as well. Even if they were not perfect, they should have started preparing for the demon.
However, Clara shook her head slightly at the captain’s words.
“I think that’s the limit. If we go any further away, it will probably attack for real.”
Clara had been able to calculate the movements of the demon and even its principles of action by calculating multiple futures using “prediction”.
Although it was only a highly probable answer, if that demon was able to enter the Crown Prince’s Villa by being [invited], and assuming that it was a simple [contract], then that demon’s full power should be limited to the grounds of the Crown Prince’s Villa.
That was why the demon would not show its true strength while Clara was in the Crown Prince’s Villa. Until Clara’s soul was stained with despair, the demon would only attack her like a tiger tormenting a rabbit.
That was the only hope Clara had of surviving the demon.
“It’s here!”
When Clara and the others reached the courtyard, the knights who had been taking a nap with their large shields and long spears, though in plain clothes, also rushed over, perhaps because Doris had called out to them on the way.
