The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 112 (1/2)
“Finding them took a lot of time, but once we found them, it was pretty easy work, wasn’t it?”
“Indeed But I wonder what these guys were doing in a place like this that isn’t even their base?”
“Probably hiding from the enemy army Even if they call themselves the resistance, they’re just rats”
The vice-captain of the Reborn Sauron Duchy Arround His handsome face twisted in frustration as he listened to the Va somewhere over his head
What a blunder! To think that Va…!
Rick and hismurders within the Scylla territory to blaotiations between the Scylla and the E in a te for their next murder
Rick’s older brother Raye and persuade the chiefs Meanwhile, Rick and his men would murder another Scylla and blame it on enemy extremists, and Rayer towards the Empire’s army
That had been the plan, but their hidden base in the Scylla territory had been attacked by Vampires Half of them were Subordinate Vampires, but the other half were noble-born Vaic Taken by surprise, Rick had been unable to put up any resistance All but two of his men had been killed, and Rick himself had been captured
Abeauty to his face, who seehed “After this, all we need to do is capture this guy’s older brother Heal the injuries of the ones who survived a little”
The Vae-colored lips spoke with a fe companions looked at him ide eyes, but the other Vampires seemed to be accustoan carrying out his orders
TLN: This Vampire talks like a woh the translation so just iay” voice
With their injuries healed, Rick’s twopale faces, they put up a brave front against the Vampires
“What are you planning to do to us, you beasts who betrayed the Goddess?!”
“Th-things won’t go as you plan! The coe us!”
But these words that the two of thedispleased, the Vareider
“I want to request so of you,” he said “You’re very lucky; your lives can be spared if you just do this one task I want you to go to your precious leader and tell hier brother’s life, conated location’”
They’re after Ani-ue after all!
For Rick, his older brother Raymond, born to a different father, was more than just an older brother
Despite possessing the blood of the Sauron family, Rayitimate child And yet, he was more resourceful and charisreatthe Sauron Duchy
Even noith the Sauron Duchy under the A his older brother to the position of duke was his divine task
That hy he had done all the dirty work and whatever else was needed for his older brother’s sake He held the Scylla in conteht for the Sauron Duchy despite Duke Sauron having acknowledged their right to rule themselves But the real reason he had courted Scylla to make theruesome bodies on display was to use the Scylla race and help Raymond acquire the position of duke
These were not only Rick’s desires, but the desires of his surviving subordinates as well
“D-don’t fuck with e “You ho to sell out the commander – GAH?!”
The Vae hand “I quite like lively children, you know I like theive them a love bite!” He pulled the s into him
The rew quieter After he stopped , the Va men
“So, which are you? A lively child ants my love bite? Or are you an obedient child who does his best with the work that’s given to hi his lips that were now stained red with the man’s blood
The last man nodded so violently that his neck looked as if it would be torn “I-I’ll do it! I’ll carry out your task!”
“I see~♪ I’”
“Yes, sir!”
Bound and gagged, Rick could only gaze at his cos would carry him
Ani-ue, don’t you dare come to save me! Just abandon me here!
He prayed that this ould reach his older brother
But what Raymond chose to do was of no importance to the Va the man who had run out of the hideout
Once Raymond’s location was confirmed, familiars would be used to report the information to other Vampires
“But aren’t you being too hasty, Lord Miles Rouge?” another noble-born Vampire asked “There is still tiave us Is there a need to rush things to the point of risking exposure to sunlight?”
“There is,” replied Miles, the high-Rank, Onee-type Vampire with the position of baron He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and reapplied the lipstick that he had taken a liking to recently “You heard the news from your allies inside the fort, didn’t you? The day before yesterday, the roar of a Hurricane Dragon was heard”
The skies above the Boundary Mountain Range were the territory of Hurricane Dragons Their roars reached the Scylla territory near the e and even the Sauron Duchy’s fort that had been built adjacent to it
Such a loud roar wouldn’t be heard unless it wasan incredibly powerful enemy, but…
“What about it?” the other Vaons’ estrous cycles I’m sure it’s a coincidence”
“A coincidence, huh… Rather than being a coincidence, I think that the Hurricane Dragons roared because they fought a powerful enee,” said Miles
Rick listened skeptically to the conversation being exchanged above his head Would there really be anyone trying to cross the Boundary Mountain Range?
Norhed away But instead of laughing, the Vampires’ voices were suddenly full of fear
“A-are you saying that the ‘Monstrosity’ of the southern region has come here?!”
“You’re joking, right?! If ere to encounter the Pure-breed-slaying Monstrosity, we could consider our lives forfeit! Tell , Miles!”
“Don’tthat’s what I think, only based on !’ Also, call !”
“Is there so to this…?”
“It’s a jinx to s happen!”
I that even the Va? Just what is this ‘Monstrosity’…?
Rick couldn’t believe his ears, but what he was about to hear was even more unbelievable
“Honestly speaking,off continuously ever since we received these orders from Gubamon-sama,” Miles said “So, if we do come across the Monstrosity, obey my orders I’ve never met any of you before we received this task; this isn’t so out of sympathy for you But if we slip up, we’ll all be killed, either by the Monstrosity or Gubamon-sama Please believe me Listen, first of all –”
“Tell me, did that person… did Rick kill me?”
Unlike when she was revealed by the Visualization spell, Orbia appeared to be drenched, ater dripping fro eyes as she asked him this question
Seeing that the air about her had changed completely, Raymond tried to cover his ownher question But his body refused to move, as if it had been turned to stone from the neck down
“R-Rick –”
“Oi! Make him stop! If you don’t, we’ll shoot arrows at the Scylla at the back!” shouted one of Ray out Raymond’s words
Raymond’s men didn’t understand exactly how the Mental Encroach on Raymond worked, but it seemed they had decided that the situation would become much worse at this rate and had taken independent action
In response to these shouted words, the other resistance members pointed their weapons at Vandalieu and his companions This was no act of intimidation; they were co drawn came from the trees in the forest
“You’re planning to use us as hostages? Don’t kid yourselves!” shouted Privel
“Indeed,” said one of the Scylla guards “If you ret it”
Though they were lacking in couards were capable of fighting h Privel was inexperienced, she was capable of using th, they would be able to fight against over a dozen resistance members on even terms
“Our arrows are coated in a special poison that kills Scylla in an instant! Even a graze will kill you immediately!” Raymond’s subordinate shouted
“Y-you’re lying! I’ve never heard of that poison!” said Privel
“We stole it back fro developed in absolute secrecy! It’s only natural that you don’t know of it If you have any doubts, ask that Ghost!”
Privel and the Scylla guards stiffened as they listened to the resistance ainst wild animals and weak h even light grazes posed a great threat to them
“Well then, Disinfect,” Vandalieu whispered
The Disinfect spell was cast on the whole area around Vandalieu The resistanceas they were enveloped in the mysterious circle that expanded outwards from him
“J-just nohat did you…”
“Just in case, I erased all poison in the area,” said Vandalieu “The poison on the arrows in your quivers, the poison in your pockets, all of it”
“W-what, that’s impossible!”
“More importantly, ould we know about that poison’s effects if ere to ask Orbia-san?”
Frohting force of Vandalieu’s group, so this resistance member had shouted this threat toso, he had let so slip
“Answerthat poison?!”
Ray Orbia’s terrifying question, but in the end, he answered
“Th-that’s right This plan involved Rick seducing Scylla, inviting theiving the their corpses on display”
Silence filled the air for a moment, as if time had stopped
“Ah… AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!”
Orbia’s spirit forrief and rage
“K-kill them! Kill them all! Save the commander!” one of the resistance members shouted
“I’m completely on Orbia-san’s side here, so please kill everyone except for Raymond,” said Vandalieu
The resistance member and Vandalieu’s orders were si at the same time
The resulting battle was one-sided
Grunts and dying screams filled the air
“AHAHAHA!” Kimberley, the former scout of the extermination force who had been electrocuted to death, had turned into a Thunder Ghost, and noas turning the resistance members into charred remains
Pete hissed as he appeared fro a resistance e to sandwich his victiainst a tree and turn him into a pile of broken pieces of flesh
“M-monsters?! Where did they come from?!”
“Get the commander and run!”
The members of the Reborn Sauron Duchy Army, especially those under Raymond’s direct cohters; each of them were at least equivalent to D-class adventurers and over half of the as C-class adventurers
As fored to, they wereon the frontlines, but they had plenty of experience when it ca other people
However, they did not have enough strength to cope with the unexpected situation of powerfulthem
And their coht at the beginning of the battle Because all of these men were those who followed Raymond because of his leadershi+p skills, there wasn’t anyone who could ih things ht have been different if Vice-captain Rick had been there
