Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.-Chapter 407 - Last Battle.
With bated breath, she made sure the distance between Hina and her group was not too far apart. She pursued the frontline, for she felt something ominous gnawing at her chest after seeing Soma, who suddenly acted strange.
The earlier event was still etched deep into her brain. Seeing Soma, who had lost all expression on his face, and the disappearing blessing that came from Lucy filled her chest with anxiety. She looked back and found Xiao Lian matching her pace while the others followed.
"You okay?". Xiao Lian's small whisper entered Hina's ears, prompting her to gaze down and clench her teeth.
"I'm not sure; thank you for the care."
While running, the conversation between them stopped, but the mood was not awkward, as they at least understood what had transpired in each other's hearts, especially regarding the person they loved.
"That's the battlefield! But…!?".
"Hm!?".
Hina abruptly stopped in her advance as she felt the terrifying chill that clenched her feet, making her unable to take a step forward.
The same also happened to Xiao Lian. Her body shuddered, and she could feel her instinct warning her to flee from the place this instant.
At the end of their line of sight, they spotted a Demon, the cause of all this mess, and the familiar boy, who filled their heads with concern. However, both of them gasped, watching Soma, who was powerless before the demon woman. Worse, the demon held a dying hostage in its hands.
"No way…".
"Mm, Hina?".
Xiao Lian glanced at her side and found the girl beside her, who had bloated eyes that almost popped out from their sockets. Her azure pupils dilated, radiating fear and also filled with sorrow.

"What happened?". Serafina came late from behind and asked the two girls in front.
As she stopped near Hina, the scene that lay waste on the battlefield etched into her brain, several limbs, and corpse, wounded people, but there was no sight of the Dragon.
'Is it fail?'. The moment she muttered that in her heart, Serafina could see a pool of black blood and assumed someone probably had stored the Dragon's body. Because of the matter with Violet and the other two, which were a bit of a problem on her hands, Serafina let down her guard for a bit.
"What's wrong with you two?". Seeing the silent two, Serafina followed their gaze and saw the scene that crushed her heart. She clasped her lips and managed to let her gasp not escape from her lips.
"No way, is that, Soma? That woman!?".
Serafina was familiar with the woman and took a glance toward the demon who held her hostage; her heart clenched tight to the point of pain.
"Mm!?".
Out of nowhere, Hina's body is suddenly being pressed down to the ground by none other than Xiao Lian, who catches the red-haired girl's thoughts. She ensures that both hands are behind her to prevent her from getting on her feet.
"What are you doing, Xiao Lian?" Serafina barked her concern, but she soon ran out of words when she saw the girl's expression, which was filled with raw emotion and tears.
"Release me, Silver head!".
For the first time, she saw Hina's expression, and the cold tone Hina used to Xiao Lian made Serafina's body shudder, seeing her malicious gaze stare at the figure of the demon that radiated a tremendous aura.
"No, I won't!".
"Release me!".
"I won't let you die, even if you hate me in the end. I won't let you get there!".
Xiao Lian's fierce determination, and the way she gripped Hina's wrist with tears streaming down her cheeks. It made Serafina's eyes turn blurred, and she couldn't imagine the pain and horror Hina felt at this moment.
"Release me, please! Mom is,,, Mom is…!".
The way Hina turned her tone from malicious to begging in tears set the dam on Serafina's eyes to flood. She couldn't stop the tears that started to trickle down her cheeks as she dropped down and held Hina together with the crying Xiao Lian.
"No, mom… My mom is, please…!".
The two averted their gaze and could only bear their heart shattering into a million pieces, and their ears burst, hearing the pleading girl they restrained under.
"No, No! Mom!" Hina's outburst prompted the other girls to look at the scene and see that the demon woman was preparing something with her hand retracted back.
Hina, whose mind blanked, could only stare blankly toward the horrific scene where her mother was dying, and so was her lover. The sight tore her heart apart, as she couldn't do anything but regret and self-blame.
'No, Mom, please, someone, anyone, help her. Please save my mother! Please!'. She looks toward her surroundings and searches for a figure who is willing to save her mother, but no one dares to move. Not in front of the figure of a demon that could single-handedly slaughter them all.
For the last time, as she couldn't bear to feel this sorrow and guilt, Hina touched her forehead on the ground and said, "...Soma, please…!".
As if responding to her prayer, a tremendous crimson pillar shot from the body of Soma, who now stood up while gazing down and holding the figure of a red-haired woman who was on the brink of dying.
"Soma!?".
Hearing her friend's two startled voices, Hina slowly lifted her gaze and saw a pair of feet wearing familiar equipment clad in a crimson aura. She looked up and saw Soma, who began to crouch down and lay the figure of her wounded mother.
"Mother!?". Her heart couldn't help but thump wildly inside, seeing her mother's condition at first seat. The gaping hole and the still-flowing blood made her face turn death pale.
"Soma, my mother!?".
In front of her, Soma began to take out a vial with a rainbow-colored potion. He opened the bottle with his teeth and raised her mother's head before carefully inserting the potion.
The elixirs seeped through her mother's throat easily, as Hina's eyes were blinded by the rainbow gleam that radiated from her mother's body, healing all the injury and closing the hole in her abdomen.
Once the light disappeared, Hina opened her eyes carefully to see her mother sleeping peacefully. She looked up only to find herself at a loss for words when she saw the figure of Soma.
"...Soma?".
""...!?"".
The same thing happened to Xiao Lian and Serafina, who were so shocked that they unconsciously loosened up the restraint on HIna's wrist. They clearly remembered his features perfectly, but his figure had significantly changed.
A pair of black wings, like bat wings, spread from his back. His clear white eyes now turned black, with a tinge of crimson pupils that shone in the dark. A goat horn protruded from the side of his skull, pointed forward like a pincer.
Last but not least, the aura that radiated from him was incomparable to the one they usually saw. Soma's aura, which is usually filled with a definite charm for how reliable and secure it was, is completely gone.
In their current eyes, the crimson aura that clad his body was nothing but the testament of bloody intent that is filled with killing intent, born from the depth of Hell.
The three girls knew about his circumstance, but seeing and hearing it were two different things, and they couldn't proceed with the fast development that was happening.
"I'm sorry!".
His soft but melancholic tone entered the girls' ears, and they soon found themselves staring into Soma's eyes. Even though his appearance and mood changed, his warm gaze remained the same.
Without waiting for the girl's response, Soma turned his back and dashed away leaving the three girls that would regret their decision for not stopping him at that time.
