Symphony for the Insect Princess

A torture instrument that appeared out of thin air.

Absolutely kill a single enemy.

Invincible in melee combat.

To make people suffer for the sake of making them suffer.

Any pain is magnified countless times.

A mobile museum on the history of torture.

Ruthless, unreasonable, and inhumane.

It can only be that, right?

"...Execution magic, this is it."

"'Execution'... magic? There's such magic? I think it's just a simple, powerful summoning magic? Summoning a pair of torture instruments or something..."

"Summoning magic is inseparable from summoning circles. Have you seen her set up any kind of magic circle? A fire mage can release fire from his palms, and an ice mage can spit out cold air from his mouth. If you replace 'fire' or 'cold air' with 'torture instrument', that's her—the executioner."

"Unheard of..."

Charlotte seemed to have a special effect of a question mark appearing above her head. Surprisingly, Setron didn't make fun of her ignorance, but patiently explained.

"It's normal that you don't know. Even I learned about it from a secret book collection at home when I was a child... Humph, execution magic, one of the rarest and most dangerous magics in the world - maybe there's no 'one'. And when it comes to direct threats to 'living people', it's number one among thousands of magics."

It's a new January again. Welcome all new and old readers to continue to support Sa~

Although the performance of Bug Princess is far inferior to that of Blood Transformation, I think it's okay. After all, if I wrote Blood Transformation 70% out of interest, then writing Bug Princess is 95% interest + 5% habit (laughs)

"It's normal that you don't know. Even I learned about it from a secret book collection at home when I was a child... Humph, execution magic, one of the rarest and most dangerous magics in the world - maybe there's no 'one'. And when it comes to threats to 'living people', it's number one among thousands of magics."

"So exaggerated!?"

"Of course, execution magic has only appeared twice in recorded history, manifesting itself on two people in ancient times and hundreds of years ago."

"Who?"

"Seth, the god of punishment and killing."

"Isn't that from mythology!?"

"But this god is indeed the first example of execution magic. Pretty fucking bloody, right?"

"What about the second one?"

"A demon king from hundreds of years ago—the 'Demon King of Capital Punishment'."

"The Demon King of Capital Punishment? Sorry, I don't know much about Demon Kings."

"You're the Demon King's wife, so... never mind. That's par for the course. Specific information about the Demon King, his magic, special abilities, and research results are all classified. Outsiders only know his name and the terrible deeds he's committed. The Demon King of Capital Punishment is widely considered the most brutal of all. While the other Demon Kings have some impressive-sounding justifications for their crimes, it's said she's the only one who slaughters people out of sheer pleasure. She killed so many people that two sages and a War Emperor simultaneously dispatched forces to suppress her."

“………………No comment.”

Well, now history needs to be refreshed.

"Now this is... the third one?"

"That's right. If this girl were caught in the Tower of Babel, she'd probably be sealed away forever as a specimen... She'd be great as an ornamental piece, but she'd be the worst as an opponent."

"Then you don't want the great secret treasure on her?"

"Tsk..." Sedroon scratched his head in confusion. "It's hard to say. It was only 'very likely in her possession', not absolute. And even if I find it, it's most likely a fake... But what if?"

At this time-

“Ugh… please… don’t… Aa ...

A shrill scream came from below, the Iron Maiden closed her coffin tightly, and thick blood flowed out from the cracks in the iron coffin, staining the ground red.

Finger-torsion, which involves breaking the fingers at the base.

The practice of burning people by tying them to a red-hot copper pillar.

Lingchi, where the skin and flesh are peeled off piece by piece.

To pierce a person completely through with a bayonet.

The iron maiden who pierces people into a honeycomb.

Rodrigo and the reinforcements of the investigation team were completely wiped out by just five types of punishment.

There is no one left who can be executed.

Having lost her target, Qimila walked like a wandering soul across the blood-soaked ground, shaking her head in search of a new target.

To go, or not to go?

"Sedroon..."

"I know, tsk... it's really- guwu!!!"

Sedroon suddenly straightened up, making a sound like a cat being strangled, her arms waving wildly, her eyes rolled up, her mouth opened wide, and her tongue stuck out!

"Sedroon!?"

Charlotte was startled, and Sedroon's body rose strangely, as if being pulled up by an invisible force! Only then did Charlotte notice that there was a circle of purple-red marks on her neck, which was concave downwards, and her throat was tightly stuck!

Charlotte quickly hugged Sedroon, but what should she do? She looked like she was about to suffocate, like... yes! Hanging! What should you do if you see someone hanging? Lift her up by her legs? Untie the rope? It seems like trying to force someone to escape can hasten their death.

As he reached for Sedroon's neck, a metallic rope of unknown material emerged the moment his fingers touched it! One end of the rope was tied into a loop, tightly constricting his neck, while the other extended upwards to an indeterminate end! Sedroon was being held up by this thing!

"Ugh... there's nothing I can do!"

Black energy surged in Charlotte's hands, and a giant amethyst-bladed sickle and an amethyst skeleton hand appeared at the same time! The skeleton hand grasped the sickle and chopped at the rope—

when! ! !

The sickle hit a hard object, making a crisp sound. It was a saw covered with sharp teeth. It looked light and fragile, but it blocked the sickle's full force attack!

"!?"

The next moment, those lifeless orange-red eyes met Charlotte's at a very close distance.

(when!?)

The summoning circle was constructed in an instant, but before the undead creatures could emerge from it, a huge serrated wheel appeared out of thin air - it seemed to be some kind of torture device - and shattered the summoning circle!

"Execution..."

In the dissipating magic halo, Charlotte hurriedly distanced herself, and Qimila reached out to her -

"Hanging."

Charlotte didn't even have time to scream before she was hoisted up by the metallic rope, reaching the same height as Cedroon! She now understood why Cedroon hadn't even put up a proper struggle. The moment he was hoisted up, all his strength, whether magical or physical, vanished without a trace, leaving only a powerless shell at the mercy of others!

“Ga… Wu…”

She tried to struggle, but her limbs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move. The rope around her throat kept tightening! She couldn't breathe, her neck was so tightly compressed that it was as if the very concept of "breathing" itself was blocked!

His consciousness rapidly faded, much faster than a normal hanging! He couldn't even struggle. Before he lost consciousness, the last thing he saw was his own distorted face in those turbid orange-red eyes...

"N…Do…Leon!!!!!!"

boom! ! ! ! !

A dazzling red-black light suddenly erupted from Sedroang's body, transforming into flames that licked the noose, burning it to a crisp! She fell heavily to the ground but immediately adjusted her posture. The moment Qimila locked onto her, she launched a killing move without hesitation!

“Α? τρεμουν γη,

agares——!!!”

"Execution—"

A massive energy mass condensed in Sedroon's right fist, and visible shockwaves spread out from her. Charlotte was blown away by the radiating force, and even cracks appeared in space! She roared and rushed towards Qimila. The energy mass was compressed to the extreme, transforming into a solid arm armor, and Qimila raised her hand towards her.

"——Agares's wrath!!!"

“—torn to pieces.”

██████████████————!!! !!!!!!!!!

The sonic boom produced at the moment of impact was too sharp, far exceeding the human ear's tolerance! The streets and houses seemed like still water, while the impact of the two men's collision was like a boulder, smashing into the water, creating a massive wave! Looking down from above, the city ground even began to distort like ripples, radiating outward and collapsing!

Bang! ! !

Amidst the surging smoke and dust, Sedraon was thrown backwards and landed on the edge of the huge crater created by the collision. She gasped and pressed the gap on her right shoulder - a mistake! The power of this crazy girl's execution magic was even stronger than she had expected, ridiculously strong!

"Torn apart by a car, huh... damn it!"

He had lost an arm, not by shattering or severing it, but by some immense external force, ripping it off. The pain was excruciating. It wasn't like Sedraon hadn't suffered severed limbs before, but this pain was beyond his experience. Perhaps it was the effect of the execution magic, which amplified the pain.

"Guillotine."

Chapter 83 Four People Gather

"Guillotine."

"Holy shit!?"

Her keen sense of danger saved Sedroon's life. When she felt something begin to bind her upper body, she immediately radiated strength to break free, then dodged with all her might, avoiding the object that fell from the sky the next moment! It was a huge triangular blade connected to a rope, gleaming with cold light, as if it could cut through space!

Sedraon didn't relax after dodging the blow. She sped up to the limit, unleashing her Wind Protection to its maximum, dodging with continuous rolls, barely managing to dodge the dozen or so blades that came crashing down. Every time a blade passed before her eyes, she felt a sharp pain throughout her body, as if she'd been cut in half before the blade even reached her!

(Sedron, don't push yourself! Regenerating a broken arm takes time...)

"I'm going to die if I don't force myself! Shut up!"

Shouting at Endorion who was worried about her health, Setroon glanced at his right arm out of the corner of his eye - it was still covered in blood, but there was a mass of flesh and bone like a dead branch sticking out from the broken arm. That was the prototype of the regenerated right arm, but the regeneration speed was much slower than the theoretical value!

"Needle punishment."

“Oh my god!!!!!”

The moment he heard that machine-like voice, Sedraon cursed and dodged again, but—

"Ugh!!!!"

She stumbled and nearly fell, half her body covered in hollow needles! This time, she saw clearly that it wasn't "needles shooting at her," but rather "needles appearing out of thin air in vulnerable areas of her body"! The unbearable pain was unbearable even for Sedroon. Dozens of long, thin needles simultaneously penetrated through the cracks between her fingernails. The serrated needles pierced directly through the pupil of her left eye, the thick needles like iron skewers penetrated the joints of bones, and the barbed needles accurately penetrated the sensitive points of the nerves!

Sedroon instinctively wanted to pull out the needle, but the more he moved, the more intense the pain of the needle became, which was magnified countless times!

"Fucking Endorion, do me a favor and cut off the stabbed parts!!!"

(No, no, no, this is wrong! This is putting the cart before the horse!)

"Just do it when I tell you to - damn it!!"

Qimila suddenly appeared before her, her footsteps seemingly unsteady yet incredibly fast! The saw blade, used for the execution, came crashing down on her. Sedroon, helpless, could only summon half of her greatsword to block the attack. The violent impact sent her internal organs churning. When the dizziness wore off, she found herself flung hundreds of meters away, crashing through two buildings along the way!

Qimila slowly walked out from the dense dust, with thorns and chains slowly rotating around her. Her body was covered with dust and other people's blood, like a ghost crawling out of hell to take lives.

"puncture--"

boom! ! ! ! !

The ground collapsed, and a giant skeleton dragon, its eye sockets surging with ice flames, suddenly burst out from the ground, its huge mouth directly biting Qimila! But in the next moment, a dense rain of spears scattered it. Although the damage was not serious, the blessing of the execution magic made it impossible for the skeleton dragon to reassemble!

"Sedroon!"

"I thought you ran away..."

"I can't just watch you die!"

"I haven't done anything serious yet! The golem hasn't—"

"—Anyway, let's retreat first! Even if we can defeat her together, what's the point? It's just a waste of effort!"

Another small bone dragon flew to the ground. Charlotte's skeleton soldiers carried Sedroon and forced her onto this very cool vehicle, but Qimila had already dealt with the previous bone dragon and approached them!

"Oops--"

"I rely on-"

at this time--

“Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please make way————!!!!!!!!!”

A sharp female voice pierced the night sky, accompanied by an overwhelming buzzing sound, as if millions of locusts were swarming in the sky! Buildings collapsed one after another, and a series of smoke and dust filled the air approached in an instant. What appeared amid the trembling earth was...

""…………insect?""

A gigantic worm roared towards them, its body a full twenty meters in diameter! Ignoring all obstacles, it plunged headfirst into the ground with a roar, crashing hard! Thick mucus gushed out from its wounds, its head deformed by the impact, and for unknown reasons, its body bore marks of acid corrosion, a truly gruesome sight!
