Hiiro analyzes the situation At this rate, Muir will be strangled to death, and after that, the Viper will ain
(There’s no choice I’ll put 『Sleep』 on hold for now First, I have to cut off his movements… Hmm?)
The Clay Viper’s body begins to shi+ne No, to be precise, only the part that rapped around Muir shi+nes abnorht collects
(What is that?)
The moment he thinks that
A violent, electrical discharge occurs No, it isn’t anything as pathetic as that As if lightening had struck, power condenses in the glowing area
“SHAAAAAA!?”
The sudden electrical current coursing through the Clay Viper’s body causes it to go nurasp of the situation
“Now!”
Hiiro sees this as an opportunity and releases 『Sleep』 It easily hits the immobile Clay Viper
“Good! Old Man! Use all your strength to cut its head off!”
Hearing Hiiro’s words snaps Arnold back to reality He begins concentrating his power
“《Wind Fang》!”
He takes some time to concentrate the power of wind onto his blade The poraps around it, and the blade appears to increase in size Eventually, the green blade grows to about the size of three adults
And Arnold lifts that blade high up, ais doith all his ht
“Unhand MUIIIIIIR!”
The flesh cleanly separates Only the head falls on the ground And with that, the Clay Viper’s life comes to an end But it isn’t over yet
The lightning is one thing, but Muir’s safety has yet to be confirmed Even now, the Viper’s body is coiled around Muir and she’s staying ith and falls froes
Muir appears to be unconscious, but her body glows faintly When Arnold moves to catch her…
“Gugagagagagagagagagagadadadadada!”
He suddenly feels the pain of electricity coursing through his body
“Old Man!”
Nevertheless, he holds her close without letting go
“Kuga… g… thank God… Mui…”
He sheds tears as he wraps his large body around hers After a while, the light fades At the sah Arnold stopps
“Just as that?”
Hiiro furrows his brow as he looks over Muir
“… It’s this child’s power”
“So the shorty was the one who stopped the Clay Viper’s movements?”
“Yeah It see》”
“Just what is binding, anyways?”
“… You kno Beastht?”
“Yeah”
“Toa”
“… What?”
“This”
As he says this, Arnold presents the bracelet hanging froht arm
“That is?”
“This is the 《Nameless Bracelet》 When a Beastman truly desires power, it will unlock their latent abilities”
“So that convenient actually exists?”
If so, he wanted one But being a human, he would probably be unable to use it
“This bracelet establishes a link with the 『Spirits』 If one was to awaken to a 『Spirit Soul』, the bracelet’s narants power to the user By the way, mine is a 《Bracelet of the Wind》”
“I see So that’s the power the 『Gabranth』 obtained to coic”
“Yeah To awaken is to establish a contract with a 『Spirit』 I exchanged a contract with the 『Spirit of the Wind』 And this child…”
“『Spirit of Thunder』… is it?”
Arnold nods in affirmation
“But that surprised ”
“Rather than generate, it’sitself”
“Is that how it is?”
“Well, I’ll explain the details after we arrive at 【Passion】 I want to let Muir rest”
“Got it You can head out first”
“Why?”
“I’ll co out”
“Understood”
Arnold exits the cave with Muir on his back Hiiro approaches the recently-deceased Clay Viper
(I think it was over here…)
The place he checks is the area that rapped around Muir It isn’t only burned It is as if the cells had been obliterated into nothingness
“That’s soic The reason I didn’t feel any 》 was because it wasn’t uess”
He did a quick analysis, but suddenly, he feels a presence behind hi it was a monster, he moves his hand towards his sword, and he draws it while turning around But, what stands before him is no monster
“… Who are you?”
