BXBX NOVEL 327 Chapter 327
Mizuki needed to ask Theo: "Theo, why haven\'t I been affected by your aura this time?"
"Hahaha. I knew you were going to ask." Theo said with a chuckle: "I have some control over this, well, you could say I managed to make my aura distinguish you as an ally."
"Can you do something that fast?" Mizuki sighed.
"Yes." Theo agreed naturally.
"...Okay, sometimes I forget how weird you are." She said with a weird smile.
"Ride up!" Theo shouted.
Mizuki looked ahead and did what Theo said since in front of them was a black rocky mountain. That thing was higher than a skyscraper. At the top of the mountain were many infernal animals, plants and flowers that appeared to be poisonous. These animals were feeding mainly on trees and undergrowth.
They continued to rise higher in the sky while observing. There were also some humanoid beings, in exception of their red skins and horns.
Perhaps it was because of the laws of this world, but Mizuki and Theo were weaker in power and limited in vision. The last attack Theo used against the Infernal Bull wasn\'t that much \'powerful\' in his head than it should be.
Mizuki whispered, "Theo, are we going to attack some being from this place?"
Theo thought and whispered, "It doesn\'t seem like a good idea, they are very close to each other! It wouldn\'t be a smart choice."
"Yes, you\'re right..." Mizuki was able to see that a blue horned being was alone, distant from the others. She asked then: "And that one looking like a blue horned woman? It\'s not a good idea? Although there are other red beings around it, it seems that they have already been defeated."
Theo became thoughtful as he looked at the infernal beings. Many of them were fighting among themselves, perhaps for territory, or even for the same hunt. Just like Mizuki said, the easiest to attack now was this blue woman who was a little further away and seems to have had an intense battle.
"Hmm. Let\'s get closer and then decide." Theo said.
They could see at a long distance, but a closer look was necessary. They needed to gather more information.
Nodding, Mizuki together with Theo started flying towards where this hellish being was.
As they approached, They could see with clarity. The blue figure lying, struggling to get up. Around it was ten or more red beings. The blood mixed with the dark brown soil created pools of blood.

Around them were Red Onis. Apparently, they had a tough fight, and Blue Oni won. She was certainly stronger than the other two hellish beings that Theo and Mizuki killed.
The woman was 250 cm to 270 cm. A pair of black horns, red eyes in the shape of a slit, like a cat\'s eye, long, flowing silver hair. She had a fitness body, with big curves and wore red armor with silver accents.
Since Mizuki and Theo were in disguise, She was unable to see the two. When the Blue Oni finally managed to get up and sit on the floor, she had a sad expression, even though she won.
"Sigh~ Why do they always have to go against me? All because of this skin?" Blue Oni sighed as she murmured sadly in her voice.
"We Oni have always been red. I was normal, like everyone I knew. I don\'t know for what reason this cursed skin began to turn blue, but at least I can become stronger…" Her eyes made a sad expression as her mind became more and more thoughtful. "The fear of those close to me just grew in proportion as time passed. My strength is the only thing left to survive where others abandon me".
But there were always cases where she fought for her food and some of the Red Onis came to take advantage and tried to kill her.
This time it was the one she came closest to death. There were many enemies, and some of them with venom. The only thing between death and her was her high immunity which almost overloaded after the battle.
"...Theo are we going to attack her?" Mizuki asked in a low voice. Theo was able to notice that she didn\'t seem to want to do that.
In fact, he himself lost the will to attack this Oni. The Woman\'s sad eyes and words made him sympathize with her, although that does not mean that he would not profit from it. He may not even go against the Oni Woman, but it does not mean that he would simply go away while there were so many Onis dead.
"I won\'t, but... well." Theo said to her: "I\'ll see if she can let me get this Onis. I don\'t want to miss this chance. I think it\'s just better for me to show up."
"Okay." Mizuki kind of already imagined that Theo would not miss the chance to get so many bodies from these powerful beings.
"Who are you?" Blue Oni was on alert when she saw Theo suddenly appear in front of her.
"I? I\'m just Theo." He said.
"Did you come to attack me too? Hahaha. Don\'t think that just because I\'m a little tired that I won\'t be able to fight." She forced herself to get up while looking at Theo fiercely.
"I didn\'t come to fight." Theo pointed to the dead bodies with blood dripping on the floor: "I just want these corpses."
She frowned at this strange question: \'Maybe he likes to eat meat from Oni? I also never saw any being so strange and small... where did it come from?\'
"I\'m the one who killed them, why should I give them to you?" She held a giant red axe and took up a fighting stance.
\'I bet he\'s just pretending he wants these Onis\' corpses. He must be just like everyone else! He\'ll attack me as soon as he gets the chance...\' She thought suspiciously.
"I\'m not going to say not to be cautious with me, since we don\'t know each other, but you need to understand. I don\'t want to fight you." Theo said as he looked into her red eyes.
"..."
"I just need these bodies." Theo said, "If possible, I don\'t want to fight you for it, and I realize that you don\'t want them in any way."
"What makes you think I don\'t want to?" She looked at him strangely.
"Your eyes." Theo said, "I can tell by the look in your eyes that you have no intention of doing anything with them."
"My eyes?" She felt strange. Did she make her emotions so visible?
"Yes." Still flying in the air with his wings, Theo said: "In fact, I said my name, but I still don\'t know yours."
"Aomi. This is my name." She said, but still hasn\'t let her guard down, remaining cautious while holding her axe firmly.
