Episode 13.12 (1/2)
With a Sacred Solid Silver still in his hand, Lecan walked off without looking back after saying 'let's go'. He can tell Eda is tagging along behind him even without looking.
As they went down to second floor and continued deeper inside instead of going down to the entrance, five men rushed out toward them.
That said, they're clearly amateurs despite holding weapons. They way these men moved were amateurish, getting in the way of each other.
”<Flame Arrow>.”
Five <Flame Arrows> were shot out of Lecan's left hand, landing on the weapon-holding hands of the five men each.
”Uwaa”
”Gyaa”
The five screamed as they let go of their weapons before passing out.
Even Lecan couldn't bring himself to kill such weak foes.
”L-Lecan?”
”Hum?”
”Didn't those <Flame Arrows> just bend?”
”Yea.”
Now that she mentioned it, ever since he learned <Fire Rush> spell that necessitated magic bending, he's now capable of bending <Fire Arrow> without thinking.
”I didn't know you could do that. That's our Lecan for you.”
This is indeed a very usable technique.
Perhaps <Flame Spear> can be bent too. Which means he can use it to defeat the opponent lying in his blind spot.
”Wait, wait! Put your, please put your hand down!”
It's Kanner the butler.
Kanner stood in Lecan's way.
”Move.”
”Lecan-sama. Where are you planning on going?”
”Master's room.”
”What are you going to do to our master.”
”Delivering retribution for depriving someone of their belonging.”
”Our master has been kept completely in the dark about this whole incident.”
”When a robber killed someone with a knife, do you put the blame on the knife?”
Lecan isn't gonna believe such an absurd explanation as the master having no idea about this abduction, but even if he is, as the master of this house, he must be held responsible for the stuff members of this mansion have done.
”I'm very much aware of what you're saying, Lecan-sama. But please if you would hear us out. Oy.”
Kanner spoke to a nearby male servant.
”Bring Zepus-sama to master's room. Hurry it up!”
”Y-yes.”

After seeing off the servant running off, butler Kanner bowed to Lecan.
”Allow me to lead the way.”
There's a luxurious door leading to a room at the end of a passage they took. It's the master's bedroom.
A man is standing in front of it. A swordsman. And quite a skilled one at that.
With a sheathed slender sword hanging on his waist, his right hand is steady on the grip, ready to draw any time.
”Kanner-dono. You're not telling me you're going to lead that man into this room, are you.”
”Arios-dono. I must bring Lecan-sama to master. There, master shall explain the situation, Lecan-sama will surely come to an understanding”
”I cannot let someone with such bloodlust step into this room.”
”Please try to understand, Arios-dono. This person here is Lecan-sama <Overlord in Black> who has conquered Golbul Dungeon twice. This house will fall into ruin were we oppose him.”
Arios did not reply to Kanner. His eyes are looking straight at Lecan.
As Lecan took a step forward toward the door, Arios showed no sign of letting up.
This man has an unusual presence about him. He could very well be the most skilled swordsman Lecan has ever faced since he arrived at this world.
However, Lecan is an adventurer before a swordsman. He's excited for a thrilling fight, but he doesn't feel like playing a duel right now.
