The Demon King's Paladin Part 2. All Out War.

Chapter 426. Becoming A Spectator

/Clap!/

" Hahaha. The look on your face!"

" What are you talking about, Kanda? We were told we'd have an hour each!"

" Haah.... Haah... Sorry, give me a minute, I can't with your face right now. A Human made you this lost in that temper of yours.... No wonder Sarn was confused about your volunteering." 

" He... He worries too much!"

I was confused at the sight I was seeing... Maybe it was because of the blood that was rushing to my head? No... No, wait... That's actual blood coming down from my head into my right eye... I must've gotten cut from the throw. Either way, what I'm looking at is so strange. Magda is still angry, but that push to the floor calmed her down and now... She's... Swooning? This woman, long white hair and skin, like I was looking at a Demon made of porcelain. 3 blood red eyes on either side of her face that looked like shining rubies. Her lips were the same color, like she had just used blood red lipstick on herself before coming here. But from what I can tell it looks like it's her natural skin tone. For some reason, looking at her seemed unnatural, not like I'm entranced by her beauty, but more like... She seems like an aberration? I don't think I can explain it well, but the way she looks and the childish way she acts... Something's not right about her. The dark black robe seemed to just add to the strangeness of her presence here. She didn't seem like a regular Demon, she was noticeably shorter than Magda... Actually, I think she was shorter than me. She had 2 arms just like a Human, in her left hand was a black staff that looked as if it was made of shadows given physical form. None of what I was seeing was good. Not only that, but she was able to more or less pacify Magda who was going to bring down this whole place if she kept releasing that unstable mana. Magda also seemed to be wary of her, she barely raised her voice to this " Kanda" person...

" Hm?"

Once she was done laughing at Magda, she turned to look at me like a kid with an interest in a toy that's on display. The look in her eyes were disturbing, it's like I was looking back at 6 puddles of blood that were staring at me. 

" Heh..."

" !"

She's smiling and waving at me now... What is she doing? This doesn't make sense? Why get involved now?

" Oh, look at you. Do you have something to say? No need to move, just speak."

She gestured to me with her empty hand like she was instructing me to go to her. She just means to tell her what it is I want to ask.

" Who... Who are you?"

/ Swish!/

Just with my simple question, it felt like the temperature in the room dropped to freezing. Is it just me? Or is it Kanda's mana? Either way, that wide smile like a kid playing with toys never left her face, but there's no way that she's actually glad... However well she tries to hide it, I can tell she's pissed about my question.

" Who am I? I believe my friend here already said my name, I'm Kanda. I'll even throw in an extra bit of information for you! I'm the reason you and your friends ended up here in bowls of this little cave system! Ufufufu..."

Okay... She at least answered my question.

" Why are you even bothering with her, Kanda? Let's just kill her and be done with it."

Magda, who no doubt was still angry with me from our fight, wasn't too keen on having a conversation with me. But... For some reason, Kanda just continued to stare at me and smile like a child who found an interesting toy. She quickly glanced at Magda which seemed to say something to her that I couldn't tell. Either way, Magda looked as if she swallowed a bitter pill as Kanda turned back to me.
