Chapter 116 (1/2)

I did not immediately understand the words the young man had said.

He doesn't mind killing innocent people?

Some of them were still small children.

”Humans are a weak race that is at the mercy of the elves, what does it matter if a few die?”

”You...”

”Do you have any idea how to free them?”

”Well...”

”Then get out of my way.”

He shoves me and raises his sword towards the girl again.

Gin

Our swords clash again and a metallic sound spreads through the air.

I stopped his sword again.

”I see you still haven't learned your place yet.”

”I'll find a way to fix this. So don't kill them.”

”That doesn't matter to me. All I care about is getting what I want.”

”This isn't about pleasing a client. We're talking about the lives of innocent people.”

”You're annoying. How dare you get in my way? You're human.”

I pushed his body back with my sword, at the same time protecting the girl.

However, the young man immediately regains his stance and heads towards me.

It's difficult to fight while protecting a child, but considering the influence on the surroundings, it's not a situation where I can clash swords with the intention of hurting him.

Kaede is also busy dealing with the magician over there, and also with Frau fighting the black knight.

Maybe I can convince him if I can persuade him.

”Please listen to me.”

”Damn human, how come you can stop my attacks? My level is over 500, it's quite annoying not being able to kill a disgusting human.”

It's like you won't listen to me.

Please listen to me.

Ah, shit, what should I do?

”Gotcha!”

”Not likely.”

”--Nugu!?”

As soon as he raised his sword, I gave him a light kick in the groin.

I kept my blow from being too hard so that his balls hadn't been crushed--I hope.

With this he should have calmed down.

The young man dropped his sword, grabbed his crotch and crouched down.

”Zig!?”

”...What happened to him?”

The other two, who are probably his friends, also interrupted the fight and rushed towards the young man.

Kaede and Frau move behind me.

The teary-eyed young man is supported by the magician and stares at me

”Okay, it's okay, I'll quit this time. You can thank me later.”

”I don't mean to ruin your work, but it's not right for you to kill innocent people.”

”Shut up. If you don't solve this, I'll come back here and kill every single person in this place. Tell me what the name of your party is.”

”I'm Toru from the Manyu Brigade. And these are my friends, Kaede and Frau.”

”I am Zig, the hero of Petardaus, a member of The Wise Sword of the Sacred Forest, and these are Celtina and Aid.”

Oh, so he is the hero of this continent.

Well, he does bear a resemblance to Sain.

”I have memorized your names and faces. The next time we meet, you will pay for what you did today.”

Zig turns the back of his right hand toward me.

The Mark of the Beast was there, glowing red.

”Get out, Sylkvia!”

”Gur!”

A gust of wind is generated and a beast appears.

It is an inorganic object that looks like a flower.

In the center was an octahedral mass slowly spinning like a jewel, surrounded by a large flat scaffold of what appeared to be four petals.

Zig and the others climbed onto the petals and floated gently.

”I hope you'll do your best to find the cause of this problem.”

”See you later, fox girl☆”

”.............”

Apparently, that thing is called ”Sylkvia”, and it's a type of flying Beast.

Huh, I didn't know that kind of beast existed.

Maybe it's a creature that hatches from a huge beast egg.
