Ch. 165 Tale of a Certain Brave Man 8 (side story)

Ah, really, this has already become stupid.

Absurdly so. Even though I already had no chance of losing, I didn’t think that it would become like this.

After clicking my tongue, I point towards Adofu.

“[[Grovel]]”

At the word I lower my finger to the ground. The longsword leaves Adofu’s hands. The sword loses its momentum and nails to the ground as is without resistance.

“Guhwaa!?”

I fix the sword to the sheath and rise while sweeping the sand.

“Haa, so boring”

Its an effect of the prisoner engraving which the priest put on. If you add in some magic and give orders then its possible to control them to a certain extent. This is insurance, since I took the role of watching him to make sure he doesn’t escape during his temporary release.

It seems that it doesn’t always work depending if they hear it or the content of the command, but it’s easy enough to use if it’s only used to stop movement for a moment.

However, I did not expect to rely on this, as I was going to kill you after showing you your incompetence. This really makes me white.

“Co-coward…you b.a.s.t.a.r.d….”

Adofu says while looking at me.

Is he foolish or stupid, just what exactly is he misunderstanding.

“No, even if such an attack were to hit there wouldn’t be much of a problem, but since your petty mind thought that it would I took the liberty to show you just how foolish you are. The t.i.tle of knight is crying.”

Even if Adofu’s attack just now hit, it could be solved with [[High Rest]]. Adofu is also in no state to try to run, even if he could, I could just deal with everything using magic.

However, even with [[High Rest]] there is still a chance for scars to remain if there is too much damage. Can I really risk a scratch on my beautiful face? and by Adofu? What a silly idea.

There was already no chance of winning against me for Adofu to try such an underhanded method. I even went as far as limiting myself for a better fight, but I will not go so far as taking such a stupid strike. How dare he not realize this and attempt such a crude method on me.

“Now then, goodbye, you have suited your purpose here.”

I step on Adofu’s shoulder and pull out my curse sword from its sheath. I stabbed the vicious crimson blade into Adofu’s back.

“Ahhaaaa!”

It’s not a vital point, but it will still hurt.

The cursed sword, blood sucking princess.

It’s a sword built for war and torture, which was said to be created by the former demon kings subordinate. A sword which inflicts a curse and siphons the life force from the opponent and returns it to the owner. All the while, slowly eradicating the opponent due to the powerful curse and poison.

I wonder if leaving Adofu alone here will be alright? There’s no need for me take further action. After he suffers severely he will die.

“Well then, escape prisoner Adofu”

I take my foot off Adofu and tap his back lightly.

Adofu screams while groaning, as I spit on his face.

Oh no, I’m feeling a little ill.

I thought that I could make a clean break from Adofu but my feelings have become odd in the end. Is this what they call dragonflies in the stomach, or is it indigestion?….well, it’s nice either way. This fuzzy feeling, maybe I should settle it with that evil plague dragon.

The plague dragon can move its limbs but it doesn’t seem like it could move them steadily yet. It’s not amusing that it could already move but then again it is a pretty hefty dragon. If the paralysis stays for a bit then that dragon wont be able to drag that big body around

.

Also that peach ball rabbit….did it escape? Well, of course it did. Even if I try to track it down there are too many monsters around to do so, especially if it dives in the ground. I don’t really need to find it anyway, since even a surprise attack from it will be easy to deal with.

There’s also that slave woman at the shallows. Strange things were said between her and Adofu a while ago and her relations.h.i.+p with the plague dragon seems good. If so, then something should be done.

After taking a glance at the plague dragon I advance towards the slave woman.

“…..N-Noo!”

The slave woman shouts with a trembling voice as I approach.

Hearing the woman’s voice, the plague dragon raises a roar. It was a roar thirsting for blood. Bingo, looks like this did the trick. You were provoked enough to try to move even with such a paralysis on you? I can understand the full extent of its abilities as well since I could see its status. Looks like this dragon is not very wise.

Oh, that slave woman has characteristic cat ears. A Felis Huma?

After looking at her status I found that her name is Nina Nifa. She has little ability to fight properly, at the most enough to hunt E rank monsters.

That one slave merchant certainly worked with felis huma. So did she survive from being feed for the sand centipede? It was reported that the plague dragon chased after the sand centipede after all.

I could bet that the slave merchant wouldn’t have even dreamt that the dragon was trying to help humans. This evil plague dragon is quite good in nature.

I realized that I was instinctively liking out my tongue.

Oops, that’s bad. I need to fix this habit especially if I want to go in public.

However….looking from near, this beast slave has quite the well balanced face. But maybe since she has been beside that plague dragon for some time there is a [[Curse]] status abnormality, which makes her face pale. However such a thing does not cover up natural beauty.
