◈Episode 100 (2)
I managed to hide my expression, but Dev’s face almost looked like he was seeing a ghost.
Berserk scratched his cheek in an awkward manner.
“Well, I’m really sorry. I didn’t startle you to scare you…”
…I’m so creeped out. A few days ago, you turned your back on me and attacked me, so why now…
Oh, isn’t it? Is it a completely different person? Now that I look at it, it seems a little different…?
“go away.”
With a hint of irritation, I gave a congratulatory message to the person I was talking to. Of course, even in this situation, I looked at the other person’s appearance.
I was wondering if it was real Berserk or not.
What I came to see is as follows.
As if to prove that even the Sland people can be rugged, a body thick with muscles and even more than that, a skin similar in color to a huge ebony tree caught my eye.
Her platinum-blonde hair, which looked white when exposed to sunlight, was loose to slightly cover her neck, and her amber eyes showed more than just wrinkles around her mouth and eyes.
Yeah, that was the problem. All the points were the same as Berserk, but one eye made the impression very different.
“You, you, you… no, how could you…”
“My younger brother directed me to this place…”
“Of course, but…! Wait, I wonder why Yamma isn’t coming… Have you already met Yamma?!”
“No, not yet. “My younger brother sent me a letter, but I haven’t seen his face yet after he arrived.”
“…!!”
Meanwhile, Kankan, who was talking to Berserk(?), just screamed silently. The facial expression of shock and fear was quite funny.
“If it was a letter, when would it have been….”
“It would have been sent half a year ago? Since it was sent from the north, the letter must have arrived more recently.”
“…!!”
Kankan pulled out his head at the other person’s answer. His pale face clearly shows the depth of his embarrassment.
“Then the contents are….”
“Hmm. It’s no big deal. “I just wrote a simple sentence saying that I would go and ask the meaning of something I said a long time ago.”
“…word?”
“Yamma told me that one day you would end up falling apart. I ignored it at the time, but looking back, I guess I was curious why he said that. “For your information, I stopped you.”
“…I went on such a rampage because I received a letter like that…!”
I don’t know what it is, but it seems like the reason why King Mu became sensitive to the level of mania has now been revealed. I don’t know what kind of letter he received that made him go on a rampage to the point of killing people.
“Uh… who are you? “I don’t think it’s the same person as the person we know…”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Because Kankan and I are in the same neighborhood. Well, if the person you know is Berserk, then not for now.”
When you look at the body, it seems like you are living without using your head, but it is a very strange feeling to see the wisdom and wisdom reflected in your eyes and gestures.
I understand that they are not the same person, but I feel a sense of disparity with the image that has already been established.
“Really.”
“…Is that what you mean?”
“yes.”
“Then why did we…”
“As I said before, I came to apologize.”
The other person said that and gently scratched the back of his neck. The two slightly bent eyes are full of embarrassment.
“My brother said that Berserk seemed to have caused too much trouble.”
…I thought they looked so similar, but they were family!
Dev seemed to have the same thought as me and immediately looked convinced.
If they were blood relatives, whether just sisters or twins, it would not be strange for them to look like bungeoppang. There are many families in the world who don’t look alike, but there are quite a few people who look alike as if they were printed on a board.
“I don’t say it twice.”
However, I don’t think my concept will receive an apology from my family.
Wouldn’t it be unpleasant to see the same face as the guy who fell asleep and lost his temper? That seems to be my interpretation.
“…Well, it looks like you’re angrier than I thought.”
The other person scratched his cheek once more and raised his hand. I guess he wants to step down this time.
“This won’t be the only opportunity. I’ll just go now. “I said I was going to the bathroom and left for a moment, so I think I should go quickly.”
Whether regular soldiers, adventurers, or fighters. I was told not to move carelessly from my assigned position, but for some reason, I wondered if someone I had not seen when I was assigned had come here.
If you get caught in the military, you’ll face disciplinary action, but I guess it’s okay for adventurers and fighters, right?
“Oh, that’s right. This is a personal curiosity, but have you ever received any formal education? From you to the eastern part….”
Still, if you said you were going to the bathroom and just slipped away, go quickly! I was wondering if this was normal, but it turned out to be just like my younger brother!
I didn’t talk long. Instead, I lightly pulled out the long sword—it was cheap—that I had acquired after a day of hard work, from its scabbard.
“…Well, okay. I apologize again for what happened to my brother. “Goodbye then.”
The other person immediately understood and retreated.
“…No matter how much of a family we are, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen someone who looks so similar to us. “Are they twins?”
After she left, Dev massaged the back of her neck with a dumbfounded look on her face.
I also felt the same way. I was a little relieved to find out that they were blood relatives, but the Berserk image must have stuck with me so strongly.
I couldn’t get used to it because it looked completely different with that face. Honestly, I feel like I’m possessed by a ghost.
“Twins… are not.”
Then, Kankan, who had finally regained his mental composure, opened his mouth.
“They look like twins, though.”
His eyes suddenly sink and take on a deep glow.
“Now that I think about it, it seems to be a trend. Do you understand?”
“It’s difficult to say I know it very well… It’s just that they were famous one way. In reality, we’re just indifferent. “My younger brother’s personality is a bit… like that.”
“It seemed like it. “When I think of all the arguments I had with Nari.”
“…! Have you met already? No, more than that, there was a fight? “We didn’t fight, did we?”
“We had a fight. “It was Nari who fought, not me.”
“And yet he’s still alive?!”
What why what? Are you dissatisfied with being alive?
“It seems you are stronger than I thought.”
I crumpled the words ‘Get out of here’ into my eyes as they looked at me anew. Kankan realized what that meant and quickly looked away.
“You seem strong?”
“Strong. “I grew up without a guardian in my hometown where survival of the fittest, winner takes all, was the rule, and I swept away not only the title of Great Warrior but also the names Weapon Master and Berserk, honors that only the best of the time could receive.”
“Oh…”
Wait a minute. Weapon Master? Berserk would be the person who attacked me, and the Weapon Master would be the older woman I just met.
Did the sisters each take their former branch? If this happens, who will come to the party?
“Of course, my brain was a bit weird… so there were a lot of people who didn’t want to get involved. “My older sister is okay, but my younger brother is not at a level that can be described as ‘belligerent.’”
Could it be that both? That’s a bit weird.
“Because of that, Yamma, even if only Berserk’s wife stopped by, the game
would be over…” However, my thoughts and Kankan’s words did not last until the end.
Pooh! Woooooo!
The horn trumpet sounded.
“…!”
“This sound!”
“The devil!”
“Everyone get ready!”
The relaxed atmosphere suddenly changed. It is natural that that signal means that the demons have started to move.
It goes without saying, but everyone around them started preparing one by one.
Since I was stationed at the place where I was stationed because I didn’t know when a fight might break out, there wasn’t much to move in a hurry. I’ve been working on equipment all day long.
“Fire the catapult!”
Thanks to this, there weren’t many people who acted foolishly unless it was their first time fighting.
Stones began to fly towards the demons as a signal to signal the start of the battle.
Kwaang!!
“Good, good! Smash them all to pieces!”
There is no need to worry too much about the catapult’s poor accuracy. The place where it landed was where the enemy was.
“A magic signal is coming!”
“Ready the arrows!”
The desert sand shook one after another.
Kugugoong!
The result is that the earth moves like an explosion, spreading thorns outside the castle walls.
In an instant, hundreds of demons were skewered and died.
“It seems that Magistrate Nari has stepped forward.”
Just by looking at it, it looks like that. Of course, the Archmage didn’t do it alone… but he must have taken the lead. As expected, wizards are the best when it comes to wide area damage.
“launch!”
But there are still many devils left. Next, an arrow was fired. The main target is not those walking on the floor, but flying species that come in flight.
“Oh God!”
At that moment, the Inquisitor from the priesthood shouted loudly.
The soft light originating from her silver-blue armor mixes with that of the priests and becomes a huge beam of light.
Since it was a group that had to move fluidly, it was clearly visible from the top of the castle wall.
“The wicked persecute your lamb. Give me the power to destroy them and protect the living. Use me as a stake to make this land your sanctuary!”
The blessing of enormous divine power seeped into the spaces between the castle walls. I don’t know the exact effect, but at least it won’t be a bad effect.
“can win!”
“Kill them all!”
The hero’s morale rose significantly due to his feat – although he is not known as one. I was a little nervous though.
“lily!”
“…! “What are you doing?!”
Still, it’s good for others. With that in mind, I placed my hand on the hole. It was fortunate that the hole was large enough for one person to pass through.
“And again!”
No, it’s meat dumplings. When you say that, it makes me feel like I’m a person with no answer to my concept. It’s not wrong, but I think it’s still too much.
It’s not that I’m really crazy to do something like this, it’s just that I can’t fight properly inside the walls on all sides.
I’ve also considered the existence of King Mu and other scum, but it’s a good idea to stay here to stop them.
If you get stabbed in the back by that, it will hurt, but you can’t just focus on the knife in the back, which may or may not come, and then get hit by the ohama that clearly comes from the front.
“Didn’t Master Nari tell you not to go out!”
“That crazy—!”
Oh, don’t worry. I’m not going out, I’m not going out. Do not go ‘outside’ the castle walls.
Suddenly!
I cut down the guy who was running towards the hole I was in and then climbed up onto the roof.
Strictly speaking, this would also be ‘outside’, but the meaning of ‘outside’ that the Archmage meant was the desert beyond the castle walls. In that respect, I did not break my promise.
I will fight here.
Kiaaa—!?
Squeak!
A few flying species that were not hit by the arrows tried to pass by me and were cut to pieces. Slashing was always good.
Slurp.
In addition, the magic spear obtained this time is the best.
You can target multiple enemies at once with a slash, but they must be in a straight line, and the larger the scale, the more magical energy it costs.
On the other hand, the magic spear can accurately shoot down one animal per 20 magic power. Even if it doesn’t do any damage, it doesn’t mean much because if you hit the head properly, you die instantly.
The only problem is that I have to use my head full of force… Still, long-distance attacks are the best. Always new. It’s thrilling.
“Victory to my sword, glory to the sky….”
Now that I have a magic spear, it will be easier to hit people passing by. For the first time in a long time, I prayed with proper etiquette.
Even at that moment, all the flying demons around me who tried to pass me fell with holes in their heads.
Say goodbye to the past where you had to run around hard because there was no way to catch something in the air.
“Death to those bastards…!”
Haha! I love the magic spear!
* * *
Deathbringer lamented. My past self was a fool for thinking that that guy would just stay still.
“Can I buy it…?”
“Fucking pull it out, bro!”
“Kill that bastard too!”
At the same time, I felt bitter. Even if the demon knight was someone who could communicate, there would have been no way to stop him.
His current performance proves that fact.
“Key Cyclops, etc… Ah! Killed!”
A demon that was as infamous as the rag golem and was said to destroy a castle every time it appeared was killed in one blow.
“Kill Tarrasque!”
“Shoot down the Manticore!”
As they are a subspecies of dragons, the demons, which require hundreds of damage in order to die, are not much different.
The demon knight slaughtered the demons faster and more easily than those who had endured here for a long time and gained experience.
Naturally, the damage caused was reduced. People often die from the creeping demons, but looking at the soldiers’ attitude, it seems like this is not even a loss.
This was something that was easy to see even when compared to other areas. Because of the situation, it is impossible to measure it with clear numbers… but compared to other places, the replacement of personnel here is slow.
This would mean that there are fewer deaths.
And that is entirely the work of the demon knight.
What excuse is there to prevent someone like that from coming forward? Even this must have been something the man refrained from doing?
If the Archmage hadn’t told him to, he would have gone down that castle wall and wiped out those guys. You can be sure. If you are a demon knight, it is possible.
And if that were the case, the damage would have been reduced further. Although the demon knight’s life would have been more dangerous.
“Is this okay?…”
Deathbringer suppressed the thoughts that kept coming as he continued to shoot arrows to get at least one serving.
It’s true that the Demon Knight is strong, but does that mean it’s right to leave him there alone?
I heard that the Great Evil could have targeted him, but is it okay for him to be in such a conspicuous place?
…Wouldn’t the sealing tool that took only 10 days to be made to be ruined by the end?
The demon knight who had never used a technique to slay a dragon, but had only used a technique that was used by demons who took the lead, really began to use it from that day on…
“Arrow…!”
The stray thoughts disappeared along with the fallen arrow. Deathbringer hurriedly tried to grab one for himself from the spare bundle of arrows.
“…!”
A suspicious scene caught his eye.
A huge man was approaching the priests praying in the distance. And that too with the weapon raised.
Even if I died, it wasn’t a friendly feeling.
“I’m going to turn. “I couldn’t believe it.”
I kept in my memory the list of things that Babpi, including King Mu, had commented on as being annoying. Beyond their impressions and personal information, even where they were deployed on the battlefield and what role they played.
“Was he really a traitor…!”
On the other hand, it was a result of the Archmage’s instructions and the mindset that one should not throw away the possibility, but as expected, he did not know what was going on in the world.
I never thought this would really happen.
“Rather than that, the humans here didn’t lose their eyesight as a group.”
Later, I’ll kill King Mu, who never came, and all the guys I remember.
He ran towards the insidious hand extending towards the priests.
They may be hateful cancer walls and windows, but they are still warriors and healers who will save the injured, aren’t they? If they noticed, there was enough reason to move.
“I can’t see that!”
In his hand, the blade filled with negativity is filled with eerie anticipation.
Blood splattered inside the castle walls.
