"See? It's not that I don't want to save her."
Takatsuki shrugged. People in this world were more prejudiced against monsters than those in the Honkai world were against Herrschers.
"Filvis! I!"
Kiana stepped forward, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"i…"
At the sa ti, Bronya pulled on Kiana's clothes.
"Bronya…"
"Kiana, we don't have the standing."
Similar to the situation with Dragon Girl Nana, they could show goodwill to beings in this world, but they could not replace the people of this world in acknowledging or accepting anyone.
Because they were ultimately going to leave, and besides their own possessions, they could not take anyone with them.
Bete, the tsundere Werewolf who could no longer bear to watch the scene, had already shielded Lefiya behind him and began to hurl insults at Filvis.
"Bete, you really are gentle."
"Huh!?"
Bete questioned Filvis's words with so displeasure.
"Even if I've beco like this, you still treat with the sa attitude as before, but I don't need your sympathy!"
However, Filvis showed no gratitude for Bete's clumsy display; after all, in her eyes, the only person she cared about was Lefiya.
"Lefiya, you have extraordinary talent. If it were you, the Corrupted Spirit would definitely be willing to transform you into a monster, just like ."
"Co on!"
The mont the next sentence was uttered, Filvis, whose ability values had risen to rival LV7, had already rushed before the Loki Familia mbers, knocking away Bete, who stood in her way, with a single blow.
Just as she approached Lefiya, a powerful force struck her abdon.
"Puh-ha!"
Even as a fully transford monster, Filvis reacted with the sa physiological response as a human when faced with pure violent blows.
"What do you an? You've been shouting for so long, aren't you still reacting like a human?"
Takatsuki scoffed, looking at Filvis, who was dry heaving on the ground.
Even strength equivalent to LV7 was no match for the Ox Talisman.
Takatsuki clenched his fist. The power brought by the Ox Talisman could not be easily quantified; at least, Takatsuki himself did not feel that sense of power increase.
"You bastard!"
Looking at Filvis, who was staring at him with hatred, Takatsuki suddenly thought of sothing.
"Right, since you think everything is because of this body."
"Kiana just asked to save you, so let's give it a try."
Just as Takatsuki's words fell, Filvis completed an extrely short incantation.
"Sweep away enemies, Holy Staff of Exorcism!"
This was Filvis's magic, the Divine Staff of Dionysus.
It was also Filvis's only offensive magic.
But it only struck the air. Just as the magic was cast, Takatsuki had already appeared before her.
"Raise your glass…"
Filvis had just begun to chant a defensive magic when Takatsuki's fist slamd heavily into her face. Takatsuki had no intention of being gentle with soone he wasn't familiar with, let alone an enemy.
A physical silence directly sealed off her chant.
"Ugh, that's too cruel."
Takatsuki's attack made others unable to watch.
However, Takatsuki's attack was not over, or rather, this physical silence was rely to clear obstacles for his subsequent actions.
He kicked Filvis down, then pressed his knee against her neck, holding her down firmly. As a Magic Swordsman who was more skilled in magic, Filvis was no match for Takatsuki in physical combat, who had trained with Fu Hua for a long ti, and Takatsuki was suppressing her with pure strength.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Filvis scread even while suffocating, but she had no mind to chant spells, because she saw Takatsuki plunging his hand into her chest.
Don't misunderstand, Takatsuki wasn't taking advantage.
With the sound of flesh being pierced, Takatsuki's hand tore through Filvis's flesh, forcibly seizing the Magic Stone within her body.
"Let go!"
Filvis tried to break free, but she was no match for Takatsuki in strength. She could only watch helplessly as her Magic Stone was slowly pulled out of her body.
Watching the flesh still clinging to the Magic Stone being torn and severed bit by bit, Filvis gradually closed her eyes.
"Is this the end…"
Filvis, who had turned into a monster, was like the monsters of the Dungeon; as her Magic Stone was lost, her body began to turn into specks of dust.
Thus, a monster transford from an Elf t her end so simply, having her Magic Stone forcibly ripped out.
"Ah… Filvis…"
Lefiya still couldn't accept it; her best friend had suddenly beco her greatest enemy, even wanting to turn her into a monster, and now she was brutally killed right before her eyes.
Lefiya knelt on the ground, staring blankly at what was happening, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
In just a few minutes, the shock she experienced was more than she had endured in her entire life.
"Takatsuki! Didn't you say you were going to save her?!"
Kiana, seeing the nearly broken Lefiya, quickly ran to Takatsuki's side.
The other mbers of the Loki Familia were not overly sad about Filvis's death, but they were sowhat worried seeing Lefiya distressed by it.
"Don't worry, Kiana, this is just the beginning."
Takatsuki took out a large handful of Magic Stones from the King's Treasure.
"Oh, and rember to keep it a secret from Hestia, because she forbids from doing this."
Kiana hadn't reacted yet, but i and Bronya understood instantly.
"Can you do it? Do you need our help, Takatsuki-kun?"
"It should be fine. Just don't let anyone disturb ."
Bronya nodded from the side and forcibly pulled away Kiana, who was still about to ask sothing.
"Hey, hey, what is little brother Takatsuki going to do? Isn't it over already?"
To Tiona's question, i only gave an ambiguous answer.
"Just watch. Don't disturb Takatsuki-kun for now."
Takatsuki looked at the different Magic Stones in his two hands. With a tremor of magic in his left hand, the ordinary Magic Stones all turned into powder, which was the purest carrier of magic power.
Although this would cause the magic power contained within the Magic Stones themselves to be lost, it would ensure that any remaining traces of souls disappeared.
When making ordinary puppets, it didn't matter what soul was used, as long as it could construct a soul. However, the purpose of this work was different; he intended to revive the deceased monster in a special way this ti.
Using Filvis's Magic Stone as the core and modifying it, adding Magic Stone powder to provide power, and then Takatsuki injected so core commands to prevent her from attacking others after resurrection, and thus a puppet core was made.
Although Hestia forbade Takatsuki from continuing to create puppets, which was a desecration of life, Takatsuki played it safe. He would still craft a core to practice when he had nothing to do, and then dismantle it, so he was very familiar with the operation of creating cores.
And then…
Takatsuki had only been able to practice core creation during this ti, and his skill level for the puppet's vessel, or the puppet's body itself, remained at its original level.
However, sothing he drew from gacha recently ca in handy.
Because the item was special, it was not kept in the King's Treasure, as living things could not be stored there.
The group of people around Takatsuki looked on strangely as he suddenly produced sothing that looked like a human mannequin from out of nowhere.
Gikon, a tool from the world of Soul Reapers, similar to Asauchi. It was originally used by Soul Reapers when active in the human world, and using it as a vessel for a puppet here was perfectly fine.
