Chapter 9 Menosorphs (6)
There was silence in the left at Frontier’s words.
Grovel wasn’t intentionally shutting his mouth.
There was confusion for a moment.
‘What do you answer?’
To Frontier now, Lockbell looks like a hostage. You wouldn’t think of him as Grovel’s younger brother.
So, of course, Frontier asks for Lockbell. For the safety of the hostages.
The reason Frontier came all the way here instead of trying to run away in the first place was because of Rockbell.
“I don’t know what you want. But you want him enough to take him hostage, right? So I came out here. Send the child to me.”
Grovel laughed at Frontier’s words.
It was a laugh mixed with pretentiousness.
“Hey, I said that a while ago. Do you think the proposal will work?”
“If it doesn’t work, I will just go back to this house. As you may have noticed, there’s a way out in the basement. Kill the child or not, as you wish.”
“Are you going to end up with him when he’s gone?”
“Well, I’ll die anyway, I’ll die later.”
Saying that, Frontier took a step back.
It was really about to re-enter that burning house.
Strength entered Grovel’s molars.
‘Sir, what’s so proud of you?’
When I came out of the house, I thought I would come out trembling with fear.
But, aren’t they doing business with a confident attitude and eyes?
Then Serp said.
“All right. Send the child.”
Grovel turned his gaze to Serp in surprise.
If this kid is a stranger, it’s probably fine. But Rockbell is his brother.
Your brother to that human sloth?
Serp smiled as if to relieve Grobel.
Grovel didn’t like it, but nodded and said to Frontier.
“great. I will send you.”
“Send the child alone.”
“──Yes.”
Grovel patted Rockbell on the back.
It was a sign to go.
Rockbell’s uneasy steps headed towards Frontier.
… … At this time, Rockbell’s heart was almost panicky.
‘what? Am I really going?’
Without even understanding how the conversation is going, this situation is suddenly being pushed into the hands of his older brother.
It was scary enough for a boy about ten years old.
‘I just want to act crying!’
There is no need to postpone anymore. I really feel like crying.
With that expression, Rockbell took one step, one step closer, to Frontier.
Frontier was looking at Lockbell with an indifferent expression. That made Rockbell even more terrifying.
Soon, when Rockbell’s feet reached the frontier’s feet,
Oops, the sound of Frontier hitting the ground.
The frontier with that indifferent expression rushed at Rockbell in an instant.
“Hey!”
Rockbell shrugged in surprise.
and,
Taang!
Behind his back, he heard the sound of metal.
“… … uh?”
Rockbell looked back.
What fell was a broken arrow. Frontier ran towards Lockbell and blocked the arrow.
I don’t know how it was blocked. It didn’t matter to Rockbell how he did it.
The important thing.
‘I shot an arrow at me… … .’
Rockbell stared blankly at the members of the mercenary corps on the other side. I saw Serp Daniel at the center.
Even though we haven’t met in a while, he’s always had a friendly smile on his face.
Serp Daniel, with that same smile on his face.
was holding a bow
“Uh… … ?”
Only words like that come out. My eyes are dizzy Fear presses the lungs thickly.
Meanwhile, Frontier, who had blocked the arrows, held him in his arms and said:
“Hold on tight.”
At those words, Locbell unconsciously grabbed Frontier’s sleeves with both hands.
Frontier grabbed Lockbell and ran into the burning house.
* * *
“Serp, you crazy bastard!!”
Grovel grabbed Serp by the neck. My anger was so fast that my hands were trembling.
Serp fired a bow at Lokbel. He shot his brother.
Serp said with a brazen face even while being caught by the collar.
“Twitter, you failed.”
“Failure, what the heck, you bastard-!!”
Grovel exclaimed with an explosion of anger.
However, Grovel, who was about to poke his fist in the face at any moment, abruptly stopped.
“Put your hands down.”
“… … .”
Grobel without a word loosened the hand that was holding Serp’s neck. His eyes were out of focus.
One of the mercenaries who saw it opened his mouth.
“Well, what… … .”
“Shut up everyone.”
However, before the words were even finished, Serp hung up.
In an instant, the focus of all the mercenaries was blurred. They just stood there, helpless and dazed, just like Grobel.
This was Serp’s ability, ‘mind control’.
If the conditions are met, Serp can control the opponent as he pleases.
Hand out your business card to your opponent, read the card and check the name, and remember the name ‘Serf Daniel’ in your head.
It doesn’t work well for people with strong mental power even if these conditions are met, but if it’s just this mercenary group, there’s no problem.
“Ts. It wasn’t a bad idea.”
Serp clicked his tongue.
Originally, I was planning to put a kid named Rockbell into the hut. It was a scenario like ‘Frondier locked the child in the house and burned him to death’.
The following scenario was like ‘Frondier shot and killed the kid with an arrow’, but it didn’t go as well as I thought.
“Frondier, you know how to use the aurors as you hear.”
Serp was sure.
There was Gregory’s report.
Gregory specializes in taming. He has worked with various animals and has been collecting information within Constell.
However, there was no Frontier in the information network in the first place. Found it by chance.
At that time, Serp was listening to Gregory’s report in the living room as usual.
The first was Elodie.
“When Elodie and Frontier were together, Frontier stopped all the broken pieces of glass. At the time, I was bare-handed.”
Gregory said, but Serp was suspicious.
“On that alone, did you decide that Frontier was using Auror?”
“It’s not just that.”
Serp looked at Gregory, that is, the crow in front of him, with his eyes telling him to keep talking.
Gregory lowered his voice as if to say something great.
“Golem.”
“… … !”
“Edwin’s golem, who lost many of the members of Constell ‘Aktober’ who were receiving aid from the Indus. It’s the frontier that broke it. At the time, we ignored it as it was not an important issue, but looking back, it is clear that it was also Frontier’s fault. And even then,”
“… … It was bare-handed.”
When such evidence gathers, I can trust that Frontier uses Aurors.
However, the incompetent Frontier used the Auror with his bare hands.
“How does the human sloth Frontier get an auror?”
“I must have had some power. Sometimes that’s the case. A person who stands out from God by chance or by any chance later. Have you recently heard that Frontier is actively involved in class? It’s clear that you’ve gained confidence.”
… … Is it really an Auror that he received with the help of God?
“If the opponent uses an auror, it is dangerous even if there are many. Serp, it looks like you saved the mercenaries, but deliberately put Frontier at a disadvantage. Make as much evidence as possible that Frontier killed or kidnapped the child. Killing is after that.”
──After hearing Gregory’s report and thinking about it, when he just blocked the arrow.
Frontier was bare-handed.
Read at noblemtl.com
Neither grabbed the arrow, nor struck it by hand. The arrow obviously broke and fell in mid-air.Aurora received with the help of God. I’ll block the arrows with humor.
“… … Evidence.”
Frontier ran back into the mansion. It would be true to say that there is a way out in there.
If you take a child and crawl through a narrow escape door, Serp will take care of it without having to do anything, and there will be a mountain of evidence.
It could be a picture of Frontier kidnapping a child.
Serp’s eyes turned to the burning house.
“good.”
Following Serp’s words, all of the mercenaries entered the house.
After putting out the embers, and removing the smoke, I barely found the basement.
And the moment I came down to the basement and searched for an escape.
“… … Hmm.”
One of Serf’s eyes twitched slightly.
Anyone can see it as an escape route. No, it was a way out. It’s broken now.
Stones fell down from above, leaving no gaps between them.
After Frontier entered, the stomach collapsed from the inside.
Serp exclaimed.
“Go out and find it! A way out like this can’t be made long! You wouldn’t have gone far!”
* * *
“Whew… … , whoops… … .”
I was crawling on the way out. with the child on his back.
I tied it with a coat to keep the child from falling off.
After stopping the arrow, I ran into the basement with the child in my arms, entered the escape room, and knocked down the entrance.
Before that, I laid down on my stomach with the child under me, made a shield out of black cloth and put it on my back.
And after breaking down the entrance with Gram, he blocked the falling stones with a shield.
Perhaps because of the shock of that time, the child passed out.
… … no, it won’t be just that.
There was something too big for a child’s heart to bear.
‘Serf… … .’
When blocking the arrow that flew at the child, I made a shield out of weaving to block it.
Of course, my reaction speed wasn’t great.
Serp, that bastard knew how to shoot arrows. If a child gets shot dead in front of me, it’ll be much easier to make me the culprit.
‘Ugh, it hurts so badly.’
When I broke the entrance, of course, I wasn’t perfect either.
The shield did not completely cover my body, and my head, arms, legs, etc. were hit with stones and felt intense pain.
There was no damage to the part blocked by the shield.
Thanks to this, every time I crawl, the parts I rub against are throbbing and hot. Things I didn’t know were sweat or blood ran down my body.
The escape route was longer and narrower than expected.
… … So, how long has it been?
As I forced myself to crawl in an uncomfortable position, anxiety took over.
What if the enemy catches up with you?
Do you have any bombs? If you destroy this whole way out.
Or, find the exit of this way out first, and you may already be waiting in front of you.
heart beating fast. rough breathing.
Blood drips from the scratched wound. It’s mixed with sweat and I can’t tell what it is.
But eventually,
“… … out.”
the end of the escape route. Light leaks in from far away
Even if there are enemies lurking in front of me, that’s the only way for me to go.
I clenched it.
Holding the necklace black lily in hand, looking for a suitable weapon in the workshop.
And when you reach for the exit.
Bump!
“?!”
My outstretched hand grabbed hold of me. and strong pulling force.
Damn, the enemy has already arrived!
The moment I was about to give strength to the hand holding the black lotus.
“Frondie!”
“Warak,” I said, and I put myself in someone’s arms.
His eyes widened and his eyes went white for a moment.
However, the scent.
I felt a familiar scent I once smelled.
this is back then
After defeating the Slavs in the dungeon.
“… … Cybel.”
It was the scent when I carried her as I walked.
“Welcome.”
Cybel looked at me and smiled.
understanding does not follow.
“How are you here?”
When I asked, Cybel looked back.
There was someone standing behind her back, in front of me.
“… … hi.”
There, Elodie de Inies Lischae was looking at me with a somewhat complicated face.
