Defiled Hero Chapter 027

Defiled Hero

The Fairy of the Wind and The Goblin King

We could feel the footsteps of the goblins through the ground.

Fiere held on to me tightly while crying.

「Oniichan...... I was so scared. I was so scared since they kept chasing after me......」 (Fiere)

「They kept chasing after you? It was just by chance that they were going the same direction you were wasn’t it?」 (Izayoi)

It couldn’t be. I suddenly slowed down and made a sharp 90 degree turn.

The goblins who were running in the front successively changed their direction to chase after me.

Were they after Fiere? Why?

Although I was worried about it, it's fine right now.

With strength, I vertically kicked off the ground and flung my body high into the air. I turned my body and climbed onto Rigolo.

「Master is amazing! You flew into the sky!」 (Uri)

「Saying that I was flying, I only went up about 20 meters didn’t I? It was within my jumping range.」 (Izayoi)

「......Who is that girl?」 (Reri)

「Fiere is Fiere. Oniichan’s little sister.」 (Fiere)

「You’re not my little sister. She’s an old acquaintance」 (Izayoi)

「Whether you’re his little sister or an acquaintance, hurry up and separate from him.」 (Uri)

「I don’t want to. I want to be with oniichan forever.」 (Fiere)

「I understand. Then Reri will also be with master forever.」 (Reri)

Separating from Uri’s back, Reri transferred over to me.

「Alright stop s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g around. This isn’t the place to be doing this stuff.」 (Izayoi)

The goblins on the surface halted, and menacingly raised their cudgels towards the sky. As I thought, their aim was Fiere.

But what should we do? At this rate we’ll just be running away forever.

「To defeat all of them, the number is a bit......」 (Izayoi)

Even if I take down the king, I’ll probably have to take on some of them right afterwards.

Is there some other......I’ve got it.

I have Tear. If I'm right, then we should be able to do something with Tear’s inherent magic 【Beast Manipulation Arts】. In order to safely contract with the goblin king, we’ll need to somehow deal with the other goblins.

(TN: Replaced 操縦術 with 操獣術 for consistency, former means “Manipulation Arts,” latter is “Beast Manipulation Arts.”)

Controlling it with contraction magic will take a bit of time. If it’s the same as the taming contract, then we’ll need to buy time.

「You want to defeat the goblin king? If Fiere has magic power then she’ll help.」 (Fiere)

「Magic power? If you get it from Astrea, you’ll take in so much that it’s impossible to handle.」 (Izayoi)

「It’s alright! If I get it directly from oniichan then I’ll be able to do it.」 (Fiere)

「Directly from me? Even though I barely have any magic power?」 (Izayoi)

Fiere is rubbing her cheeks on my body, I’m getting a weird feeling.

Huh? She’s absorbing something.

Suddenly a feeling of exhaustion closed in on me, I felt dizzy as if I were anemic.

She, don’t tell me she’s absorbing my life force?

「Hawawa! I’m full of energy. Punishment time.」 (Fiere)

Fiere was overflowing with magic. She rested herself on top of my shoulders, and faced down towards the Goblins.

「Wait a second Fiere. We’re up in the sky right now. If you were to use wind magic, you’d hit us as well.」 (Izayoi)

「*Hawawa,* That’s right. That could have been dangerous......」 (Fiere)

It would be dangerous this high. We’d have to brace ourselves as we descended.
