Chapter 17 (2/2)
”Just a little more I WAS SO SO CLOSE!!”
The
”Th-, they ca is over……!”
”I advise you to give up, resistance is useless If you release me from my chains, I'd help to ask them to spare your life at least”
'But only ask,' adds Alexia silently
”L-, like they'll leteveryone!!”
”The Knight Order won't indiscriminately kill people without reason If you don't resist, then they won't take your life”
'Since when have the been so nice?' Alexia laughs at her own lie inside her mind
”Knight Order? What do I care about the Knight Order! N-, no, they're killing everyone! Everyone!!”
”It's not the Knight Order?”
If that's true, then who is it? No, there is the possibility that this man is just confused
”Either way, you're finished Just give up”
”No, th-, this cannot be! No, no, no, No, NO, NO, NONONONONO!! I…… as long as I finish this!!”
Tearing at his hair, the man then turns his bloodshot eyes towards the monster
”P-, prototype, right! W-, with this, even a failure l-, like you can be of use!”
With that, he picks up a contraption with a needle, which he inserts into the monster's arm
”I think you probably shouldn't do that I' a really bad premonition”
So says Alexia in a serious tone
Of course the nores her and injects soh the needle
”Be-, behold! This is a F-, Fragment of Diabolos!!”
”Oh, fun”
Almost immediately, the in to fill out at a visible rate, and even its bones begin to lengthen Its originally thick left arm turns even more fiendish, even row to the size of a hued in both size and position, stillto its chest
The h-pitched roar
”H-, hoonderful! How splendid!!!”
”This…… is shocking indeed”
But of course, the monster's restraints were unable to withstand thearound the monster's neck snaps open and flies off
”And that is precisely why I warned you to stop!”
And then, squish
Thethe labcoat was smashed into a pulp by the monster's left arm
”Well then”
Alexia and the monster stare at each other
Alexia is paying full attention to theall four lis that Alexia can do are extremely limited But the list of options is not entirely empty
She has no intention of dying fro mere collateral due to someone else's idiocy
The monster brandishes its left arm
I as she avoids a fatal strike……!
”……!”
The monster's left arm misses Alexia, and instead pulverizes the pedestal under her The shockwave still hits her though, sla with the pain
”Guh……!”
But none of her bones are broken, and none of her wounds are serious She can still move
After confir her own physical condition, Alexia quickly stands back up
But
The er here
The destroyed pedestal, and busted wall
”Could it be…… that it helped me?”
Even though Alexia could not move, the blow had still missed But if that's so…… no, there is the possibility that it had just mis-aimed
”Anyways”
Alexia searches for the key for her shackles from the squashed pile that used to be the labcoat ain
After stretching her body a few tih the hole left behind by the monster
It is a dim hallway
The soldiers that thein heaps on top of each other
”Guess you won't be needing this sword anymore”
Alexia seizes a mithril sword from one of the corpses It's a cheap mass produced item, but it would have to do for now
She continues proceeding down the corridor, until she turns a corner
”Oh dear, this cannot do Things would get quite troublesome if you escape”
”Y-, you, why are you here?!”
Alexia's eyes open wide in shock
