Chapter 52 (1/2)

Revenge Target

The two men who glare at me who stand up to protect the boy. Guu, what pressure. It's becoming tough to even breath.

“Is it fine to conclude that this country is going against us, King?”

“Pl, please wait! Th, this is some kind of mistake……oi, Fia! What are you doing!?”

“I should be one saying ‘What are you doing', Chichiue! Selling the country and the citizens, what are you trying to do destroying this country!?”

“What are you saying! Even though I accepted it for the sake of this country!”

It's no use. Chichiue won't listen no matter what I say. Even though he wasn't this obstinate before.

“King. This woman showed her teeth at us. You won't complain even if we kill her, right?”

“……It cannot be helped”

My tears were about to come out because of what Chichiue said. It's not that I had hoped that I can be protected by him. However, I didn't think that he could answer this easily. He's no longer thinking about anything other than what's before his eyes.

“Kuku, with this I can violate her as I like!”

Cancer laughed delightfully and swung his hand. And then I was blown off in the next instant. I didn't hit the boy but, I rolled on the ground many times and finally stopped.

“……Uuu……what in the world……kyaa!?”

I try to stand up without knowing what's going on and, I suddenly have a gash on my left shoulder. It's also quite deep. The blood flows profusely. When I press down on the wound with my right hand and thought of holding the sword in my left hand, my sword has been cut in half. Was it when I was blown off just now!

“I'll start by killing the kid!”

I throw my sword away and stand up but, Cancer was already looking at the boy. I won't make it even if I run from here! I tried to shout but it was already after Cancer swung his hand. The boy is going to be cut! The moment I thought that, the ground rises up.

What appeared after the ground rose up were skeletons. They piled up repeatedly and became a large wall. And then it defended against Cancer's attack. Furthermore

“Burn! Salamander!”

“Nuu”

“Uoo!”

Fire pillars rise from the two persons' feet. The two of them realised that and jumped back.

“Rampaging as you please in someone else's home”

“Fuu, thank you, Salamander”

“”Gyurururu””

And then the ones who appeared were Hardt's subordinates, Nero and Tierra. Lining up behind Nero and the others were the monsters that we were tormented by as well, Opus Killers.

“These guys are the ones the King was talking about huh”

“Heh, isn't she cute. I'll play with her together with the princess!”

Cancer who starts to run as soon as he sees Tierra. Nero puts his staff forward and the Opus Killers start to run towards Cancer.

The Opus Killers swing their fists down towards Cancer one after another. Cancer lightly evades the blows that would mean immediate death if it lands.

In addition to that, the Opus Killers are cut up into small pieces each time Cancer swings his arm. As I thought, it appears that there's something on that fellow's arm. A slash releases each time he swings his arm.

“Tsk, these fellows are annoying!”
