Chapter 112 (2/2)
Players would hold a sword or a spear and ‘Swear By The Oath’ when co they were sincere, or possibly as proof that one did not lie
People called Stealth masters, such as Kei or Andrei the Ninja, were able to swear by the oath while lying at negotiation tables easily, as long as they were eneral player-base, it was exceedingly rare that soh Stealth, so the ave a cool vibe when saying so like ‘I swear by my sword’
At any rate, it was valid in the game and was equally valid in this world due to the existence of bloodlust
In Morissette’s case, he was able to utilize Stealth well enough that regular people couldn’t detect his bloodlust, but with his destroyed leg tor him, it would be difficult for him to calm his mind
Since he had sworn by the oath, with both hands gripping his sword, ‘The poison is ‘Enslavehly likely that this information was accurate
“I see, thank you” Kei nodded slightly, accepting Morissette’s oath
“Th-then…”
Morissette had a tiny ray of hope
However, Kei remained silent as he nocked another arrow and raised his bow “I no longer have a use for you”
“Wha!?” Morissette’s eyes widened in surprise at Kei’s merciless words “Y-you said you would spare me…”
“I never said I would ‘spare’ you I only said ‘I will give you one last chance’” asserted Kei, his bow creaking as he drew it “I gave you the chance to come clean, didn’t I?”
“You’re kidding…” Morissette looked into Kei’s eyes His face paled and his lips quivered He understood in an instant that there wasn’t any hope “That’s… it’s wrong…” he muttered
With a gri me”
Twang
The last thing Morissette saas a glint of silver rushi+ng toward him
And then the back of Kei with his bow ready
Then the illusion of an innocent young girl clad in an angel’s raiment
A terribly innocent young girl with a radiant smile
Then he heard the sound of water as his vision was dyed red
He lost consciousness
Kei turned and hurried to Mikazuki’s side, leaving the fallen Morissette behind
The dark broser horse didn’t htest Kei fell to his knees beside him, placed his hand on the horse’s neck, and called his na and biting his lower lip
Mikazuki showed no signs of life
Mikazuki had become an empty shell He was dead; his eyes remained closed and a small amount of bloody foaht when he saw the arrow in Mikazuki’s side was that, even if the arrow hadn’t been poisoned it may have been too late
The way his kidney and liver had been struck, it was al Without several bottles of potions, it would have been impossible to keep him alive for medical treatment
“…It hurt, didn’t it? I’m sorry,” said Kei as he stroked Mikazuki’s mane
With the corpse in front of hian to ooze out, but he didn’t have the time to mourn over the death of his horse
Kei stood up quickly and looked toward the woods “…It’s a little far to run”
Kei furrowed his brow In terms of stats, he was confident in his sta at full speed from here to Tahfu on Mikazuki would take a little under ten o by foot? Would Aileen be able to hold on?
He sighed and placed his right hand on the nape of his neck He felt around his neck for aa thin chain with his bracer and pulling it across his chest
At the end of the silver chain was a pale-green, transparent emerald the size of one’s thumbnail
This was a top quality ite froaze to Mikazuki’s corpse
“…Mikazuki is here, so you should be too,” he said almost as a prayer
『Mi dedicas al vi tiun katalizilo』
He whispered the chant as if reciting a script and then kissed the emerald
Immediately afterwards—
Hehehehe
He heard a sh
He couldn’t be sure of where it came from
Hehehe Hehehe
The laughin the wind
It see from every direction at once
—Kei—
It was in his ear
—Vi estas vere agrabla—
It was a shisper that
Crack Countless cracks suddenly appeared in the hanging emerald
The cracks quickly increased in nu white
Before long, it shattered into particles finer than grains of sand and bleay in the wind, ht
After seeing that, Kei faced the empty sky and called out
『Maiden vento, Siv』
He took a deep breath
『Vi aperos』(Manifest)
At thattaken from within his body
