Episode 7.15 (1/2)

Right as Lecan struck the Wrinkle Man's head for the fourth time by leaping on its hand as a foothold, the group of six arrived at an adjacent room. And then they began to clamor about from outside the hole.

”Well well hi there, for we are the heir of Golbul Earldom, Tomaj Douga and his retainers. O warrior enduring an arduous struggle against giant Wrinkle Man over there, leave your back to us! O god, may you bear witness to our gallantries!”

Lecan is not having a hard time, and he can't exactly stop them from intervening when he's busy dealing with the magic beast. This kind of conducts were extremely reviled upon in his former world, but is that not the case in this world.

Lecan kept a close eye on the group of six while striking the Wrinkle Man.

Four knights. And two mages.

Despite declaring that they would participate in the battle, they're not showing any sign of entering this room.

Right as Lecan thought that, one of the mages readied his cane and began to knead his mana.

”O Witgem our god. We beseech you to accept our offerings and reverences. Hear our prayers and brandish your blade upon the wicked...”

He's chanting some sort of long winded spell but since Lecan is occupied himself, he's not listening to the end.

Evading Wrinkle Man's swung arms, sometimes kicks and headbutts, and right after he struck the magic beast for the umpteenth time, the mage finally finished his chant.

”Gwinbar!”

From his cane, a blade of light shot out and tore the air, hitting the Wrinkle Man straight in the chest, scattering sparks around.

Since the Wrinkle Man is focusing fully on Lecan, it's not clear whether the magic attack has any effect or not.

However, the people around the mage seemed content.

”Oooh! Nothing less to expect from Kimsill-dono!”

”What a wonderful incantation! What a brilliant strike!”

”Surely even a Wrinkle Man cannot possibly stand up against that!”

They crowded around the entrance, surrounding the mage while chatting without a care in the world.

--What are these lots even here for?

Lecan continued his assault while thinking that, ending the Wrinkle Man's life.

Even after it had crumbled and been shrunk into a gigantic corpse, the six dared not to enter the room still.

Lecan was prepared to engage them were they demanded the Wrinkle Man's magic gem using their help as a pretext.

However, those six kept their silent even when Lecan slowly went to pick up the magic gem on purpose.

One of the knights called out to him when he was done putting the magic gem into his <Storage>.

”Well done, well done! Your service at supporting knight Tomaj Douga-sama truly begs an admiration!”

Lecan somehow ended up being the one in a supporting role instead.

”This be a fitting reward for your effort!”

Another knight threw a bag to a spot near Lecan's feet.

Judging from the drop sounds, Lecan hazards a guess that it has big silver coins inside. Totaling at five, six or even ten pieces at that.

What would happen if he took this big silver coins bag.

Tomaj Douga would probably take the credit for defeating the magic beast if he took this reward.

Or perhaps, Lecan would be treated as Tomaj Douga's underling, and his deed would be considered as done under this Tomaj's command.

Either way, the other party would surely make more demands were he took the bag.

Lecan hates human bonds. He hates troublesome things.

And he absolutely loathes noblemen and knights.

This knight Tomaj Douga said that he was a heir to the lord here. Lecan would rather not associate with these kinds.
