148 [3-5] Were happy if were not invited to the hous... (2/2)

The sword sliced through the air and plunged into the earth with too much force.

”Gafu............

Right after that.

The girl had pierced the man's throat as she hugged him from behind as he swung down.

The crescent-shaped dagger was swung sharply and gore was thrown on the ground like spit.

The man's body collapsed unsteadily.

I've never practiced it since I learned it once upon a time, but I can do it.

I'm not even going to temple school, I was studying to be a murderer! That's nothing to brag about.

The girl sighs in serious disgust as she plays with her suspiciously shiny hand mirror.

”Hey, you!

The traitorous adventurer sharply thrusts his short spear.

The girl's figure splits into diamond shapes.

The girl's figure disappears in a diamond-shaped afterimage. And behind the spearman.

There!

She seemed to have seen the move coming.

The spearman made it look like a thrust, but it was a feint. As if to reverse the movement of the spear, he thrusts a stone thrust behind him through his armpit.

But...

”!

The spearman's face was sliced in half, up and down.

The girl, who seemed to be behind him, somehow slashed at him from the front.

”...... you b*tc*!

It was not a fatal wound.

But the spearman, blinded by the blood flowing from his own face from the unexpected attack, quickly used the short spear in his hand to reave her off.

The spear hit not the girl, but the two bandits nearby.

”Gee! ”Gee!

One of the frightened bandits had his throat slit by the girl at that moment.

Calm down! Idiot, where are you aiming? How many of you are there?

”How many of them are there?” And a melee ensued.

The bandits were bewildered, but they all attacked the girl at once.

But they couldn't catch her. When they thought she was slashing, she disappeared like a bubble. When they thought she was on the right, they saw her on the left.

When you think it is attacking you, it moves back. When you think it is slashing at you, it stabs you to death.

Her appearance, her presence, her mannerisms. Everything about her is misleading.

It was as if she was dealing with five enemies who all had the same appearance, and the bandits were being ruffled one way or another.

”...... Get back!　Surround them!　Make a circle!

A ground-shaking gong echoed through the air, bringing discipline back to the bandits who had been in chaos.

The order came from the leader who had been watching from a step back.

Everyone's body moved before they could think.

The bandits who were still alive stopped their attack and formed a siege.

”Oops. ......

Within a three-foot radius of the encirclement, a girl stopped moving.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

It's not an instantaneous shift or an alter ego. It's a distraction, isn't it?

It's a dazzler, isn't it?

”Well, I'm glad you figured it out!　It's a shame to leave you as a bandit. You're more skilled than I thought.

He seems to be well equipped and in command.

They look like deserters from a country that was invaded and destroyed by the Caenis Empire.

”Shut up. You're a rat in a bag now.

...... Heh, you may have an unattractive body, but your face is not bad.

It's a crime to interfere with our work, woman. I'll plug three holes at once and make you squirm.

”Cut and run!

And the boss's head flew off.

The bandits, who had been concentrating on the girl, heard a strange voice and finally realized what had happened.

A demon appeared from behind the leader and attacked.

A man with cloudy eyes and pale, almost white skin.

His long blond hair was tied up high on his head, and he wore an obi that was fastened in front of his body, in the style seen in the Empire and the Far East.

The weapon in his hand is a beautifully sharpened single-edged sword.

The demon, in the form of a man, caught the head of the leaping leader and bit into the flesh of his cheek, ripping it off.

”Delicious!

”Ghoul ......!

”Undead!

The undead!” The unbelievably easy death of the leader of the bandits, who was also their spiritual pillar, threw the bandits into disarray and they fell back, screaming pathetically like dogs who had lost a fight.

The girl looked at the bandits with painful pity in her eyes.

”I'm sorry. I've been selfish enough to let those two escape, so I had to fight them alone, but I think I've gone far enough. ...... This is a military operation from here on out.

Your flesh is a supply, food for Ciel-Teira's army. And your bones are recruits.

I can't stop this, so don't feel bad.

In a cute pose that gave the illusion of stars falling, the girl pleaded for immunity.

There was no time to ask what she meant.

As if pouring out of the surrounding forest, a swarm of glittering armed undead came rushing in.

Ghouls in knight's armor. Skeletons as well. The skeleton wearing a robe and carrying a staff was a lich.

A swordsman ghoul in red dragonscale armor.

A big man wielding a mechanical arm that sprays steam.

A female fighter in imperial clothing with a bill plastered on her face. ......

... ”Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

A group of nameless bandits disappeared from the streets.
