Chapter 52 (2/2)
[Dragon Scale Defence] was a skill that catches attacks with sturdy scales, breaking and blocking an opponent’s weapon with the coordination of the scales working together, just like what happened with Gazaine earlier
Dragons are able to move their scales with their muscles, whereas I had to move them with [Psychokinesis]; to be blunt, the usability was extremely bad
Even so, I thought that I wouldn’t be able to outwit Gazaine unless I prepared a surprise at this level
Presuon Scale Defence] was because his [Sense Danger] didn’t come into play
[Sense Danger] was a skill to “be able to perceive every sign of danger as well things that could be related to danger”
And in reality, he was so overly responsive to my attacks to the point where I was fed up
However, I wondered if his sensing didn’t consider his own attack being defended against as a possibility of Gazaine falling into danger
My [Dragon Scale Defence] skill was, in accordance with its na, so that in itself can’t be considered “soer” for Gazaine
Despite the fact that I prepared so ht with Gazaine, I had no idea how precise his [Sense Danger] skill would be
And then I used up all of ed to beat Gazaine
No―― I had just one more card in my hand, but I didn’t really want to reveal it to the public, so I’lad I could defeat hiic syon Scale Defence]
When I slowly approached, Gazaine launched a hidden needle at le, so I used [Psychokinesis] to catch it and throw it back
Receiving the hidden needle in his shoulder, Gazaine gave a small moan
“Now, let’s talk”
“…About what?”
“About that guy
About the baby who is like me”
“You want me to speak honestly?”
“Fortunately, my father, Viscount Chrebl, is well-known in the military
It’s not like I’m someone who really sticks to duty”
“Hret it if you don’t kill me here, you know?”
“To be honest, it being hard to kill you because I’ve gotten attached is true
Are you already satisfied?
If you spit it out noon’t torture you on purpose”
“Keh Hoeet
And――that naivety will be fatal”
As he said that, I saw Gazaine signal with his eyes
I followed his gaze and turned around by reflex
At the end of that gaze, I saw a person appear from empty space
He reure as stabbed by the needle, and from inside spilled out short, silver hair
It’s Elemia!
Eleh she had lost her strength
The suddenly appearing figure thrust a knife at her nape
That person was the ed emissary with shi+fty eyes
“Gazlow-san!”
The one who shouted seems to be Nebil
I use [Appraisal] on Gazlow once more
《Gazlow Outlaw (<yatagarasu> Special Forces Leader

》
It’s roughly the same result as the last time I saw a chance and used [Appraisal] on him
I had carried out intelligence gathering on the one leading the Special Forces, Gazlow, beforehand
According to the two of them, Gazlow’s [Ambush] was indeed a skill that would e Techniques], but Elerasp his presence with her [Sense Presence] and 《Blessing of the Dark Forest》
That’s why this tie Techniques] and keep a surveillance on Gazlow’s movements
For Elemia to receive a surprise attack th hidden from the Special Forces as well
“Hey, don’t e actions, Orochi
If you one”
Gazlow says as he licks his lips
“Gazlow-san! Come to your senses!
To listen to Master Gazaine’s orders and kill others under the pretext of being for Evil God Monguenues’ sake, that’s such a ridiculous story!
We are just being used by Master Gazaine!”
Gazlow observed Nebil shouting with cunning eyes, like a snake looking at a frog
“Oh, oh… Nebil, you… Did you forget who saved you?”
“T-that…”
Nebil flinched, but continues
“…is true It can’t be helped that I have to be slandered as ungrateful
Even so, I don’t intend to continue deceiving er!”
“Keh… Is that so
Well, fine I was the one who stuck you there in the first place”
“Stuck me…?”
“What, didn’t you notice?
Then, I fired an arrow fro at you, as full of holes because of the panic caused by the goblins and such”
So he’s referring to the tioblin mob that Nebil had previously mentioned to me
I had thought it was suspicious, but… it really was as I thought
“Wha…!”
“I had been taught sothat I hated it, so it was rather difficult to shoot without killing you
Well, there would be blunders if whoever was doing it wasn’t reat Gazlow”
“Y…… You bastaaaaaaard!”
Nebil yelled with his face flushed, but he wasn’t as imprudent as to jump out there
Breaking the silence that had befallen the chapel was a deep laugh
The owner of the laughter was―― Gazaine
“Too bad, Orochi”
When I looked at Gazaine who I had crucified to the wall, I saw Gazaine laughing with a grin on his face
“――Mmph”
Gazaine bent his entire body in an arch, and teared off the dirt bindings that shackled him
Carrying Elee at where Gazaine was now standing free
“――Orochi, you have no choice but to accept your defeat here
However, your endgame was poor
Me, Gazlow, Letticia… Oh and every one of the Special Forces barring Nebil and Elemia, you will release us all”
Letticia was the one whom Elemia referred to as the “Pastor”
I cast my eyes down, unable to answer to Gazaine’s request
“Silence, huh Don’t disappoint me too much, okay?
Even though I thought I had finally found a replacement for Goleth… The fact that it turned out this way is a pity”
“……”
“What’s the e?
You’re just a kid after a――”
“…Heh heh”
“――ll… Ah?”
“The naïve one was you, Leader”
