Chapter 110 (1/2)

Barro-san's words proved that he was betraying us. I thought, what on earth is going on? But looking at Grave-san drawing a sword from his waist, the idea dissipates immediately.

That's right, the important thing right now is to get out of this cage and save the hostages. Although his betrayal is regrettable, I can hear his excuse for later.

And then, Grave-san swings the sword in his hands towards the cage.

*gakiin*

The iron bars repelled Grave-san's sword. There is not even single scratch left behind. On the contrary, the blade part of his sword is chipped a bit. Grave-san gazes at the missing part of his sword before turn his line of sight towards the iron bars.

[This not seems to be made of ordinary metal.....] (Grave)

I grab the iron bars to confirm Grave-san's words. Certainly, the feeling that being transmitted is somewhat different. Well, it seems easy to bend if I put more power into my hand.

[GUHAHA~HA~HA!! IT'S NO USE. YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THAT CHEAP SWORD. THIS CAGE HAS BEEN STRENGTHENED, IT WAS SPECIAL] (Deizu)

The person who just spoke was a beastman next to Barro-san. I can't help but think ”I can see this coming”, as I turn my eyes towards the owner of a voice.

Hefty body with golden cat-like ears and hair, he have a feature full of wildness. But the thing that attracts my attention the most are his black-red eyes and marks like a crack on his face and his body. This is the state after someone swallowing the red ball, there is no doubt.

I remember when Marao first talked about the state of her country. She said that the top person of hardliner faction suddenly changed. I thought by a chance something like this would happen, and the person in front of my eyes proved my idea was right.

To put it simple, the person in front of my eyes right now is the top person of hardliner faction. I'm sure his name was Deizu, wasn't it?

[I see..... You are Deizu, right?] (Grave)

I told Grave-san about the red ball before. It seems he come up with the same idea as mine.

Deizu's expression changed into rage when Grave-san asking for confirmation. He glares at Grave-san full of hatred.

[DON'T CASUALLY CALL MY NAME WITH THAT FILTHY MOUTH, HUMAN!!] (Deizu)

The muscles all over his body are bulging even more in response to his angry roar.

But my eyes was attracted to something else, the red-black magical power that floating around his body. Un, it looks unpalatable..... but I bet it still delicious due to my skill effect.

Deizu was breathing in and out while trying to distract something inside himself. I and Grave-san were caught by the situation before us. We come back to our sense when Barro-san calls out Deizu.

[It's time to go, Deizu-sama.....] (Barro)

[FU~FU~FU..... WELL, FORGET IT..... YOU HUMAN WILL ONLY LIFE UNTIL TOMORROW AFTER ALL!!] (Deizu)

[Life until tomorrow? What do you mean!?] (Grave)

Grave-san reacts to that disturbing word.

[THAT REMINDS ME, I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS. WE WILL BEGIN OUR MARCH TOWARDS SOUTHERN KINGDOM TOMORROW. BUT BEFORE THAT, YOU WILL DIE IN FRONT OF THE SOLDIERS. WE WILL HOLD A PUBLIC EXECUTION] (Deizu)

Ou.... we will be executed in public. I can't keep quiet after hear it as expected. I turn my line of sight towards Barro-san. Whether he noticed it, he turns to this way and lowered his head deeply.

[I'm not going to make an excuse..... I just want to protect those who I should protect. For that purpose, no matter how ruthless the means, I will still do it] (Barro)

[The people you should protect..... do you mean Marao and the king?] (Wazu)

[That's right] (Barro)

[Do you sacrifice us to protect them?] (Wazu)

[That's right] (Barro)
