It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains chapter 68

68. punitive force (2)

●

What Gideon and Krat have to do is simple.

This time, I will take the side of the side that has made more contributions in the subjugation of the monsters to solve the problem in the Earl of Chester.

“…”

Actually, if you think about it, it’s a very dangerous thing.

The source of the monsters spread across the empire has not been properly identified, but what is certain is that these guys always live in colonies.

Regular monster subjugation is not a large-scale event for nothing. If you catch one, they come out in droves like a beehive, so everyone is well prepared.

According to the standard for categorizing monsters, 3 small monsters equals the fighting power of one regular knight.

Previously, there was a record of one Elijah changing the number to twice that number by himself, but that was because Elijah was a special case.

During the demon subjugation, dozens or even hundreds of such demons poured out, so the level of danger could be guessed.

but.

Even at that level of danger, the story would be a little different if it were two non-humans.

-!!!

The beast resembling a wolf was hit by Krat’s fist and shattered.

I’ve seen dozens of them already. It’s a monster that can’t even pierce leather, let alone inflict damage with a decent spear knife. However, that person is just throwing up something like popping a balloon with his bare hands.

Even Elijah, who risked his life against the six, is looking at them with a dejected expression. It was because the number of monsters that had already crossed over to the nether exceeded 20 within a few minutes.

Then, what about Gideon?

“Hmm.”

With a short exhalation, Gideon grabbed the handle of the sword and drew it.

A level of splendor that is invisible to the naked eye. The sword that swept through the air instantly swept away the magic beasts around.

It was only a light action, but only the vital points of all the monsters in the path were accurately cut.

If the Kurat side was bold and violent, grinding everything out of their hands, this one was a precise and accurate combat technique that reminded me of a machine.

Only then will this be subjugation and nothing else. Just like weeding and pulling out weeds, it’s a ‘work’ of grinding anything that catches your eye.

Caliban questioned whether I could control these personnel, but the clear answer to that question is this.

no need to control

It’s so strong that if you just leave it alone, it’ll cut it all on its own.

“…That’s it, two warriors representing the Empire…”

“…”

When Elijah saw it, he let out a moan of admiration, and Elnor fell silent as if to agree.

Perhaps this side, unlike Elijah, has a bad feeling for his father, so he doesn’t openly say it, but he has no way not to admit it.

The achievements of these two are truly far-fetched.

“…”

By the way, that’s it.

[Target ‘Elnor”s ‘Attribute: Tristan style swordsmanship’ proficiency is increasing! ]

[ Target ‘Elijah”s ‘Attribute: Continuing Battle’ mastery is increasing! ]

Even though they exist, I didn’t bring them and put them here.

If you look at these two, they are truly the sum of talents. Monsters in a different sense.

It means that you can suck everything you can suck from there in real time, just by watching the actual battles of humans with a higher level than yourself.

‘Perhaps by the end of the subjugation…’

Both Elnor and Elijah’s characteristics must have grown visibly.

Then I’ll be able to inherit the characteristics this side acquired as a gift.

Truly two birds with one stone.

And while these monsters are messing around with each other, what am I doing?

“Oh, he’s not dead yet.”

He is picking up demonic beasts that fall nearby.

Things that are on the brink of death but still hidden.

“…”

I wonder what kind of ugly look this is, but I’m doing it because it’s all necessary work.

When I lifted the amulet and pointed it at the beast who was about to die, the beast’s body turned into light particles and soon began to circle around me.

＜ System Message ＞

[ You have obtained the medium corresponding to the stroke of ‘Forbidden Art’. ]

[ Through this medium, you can engrave patterns on your body. Jin of Forbidden Arts has different effects depending on the shape of the pattern. ]

right.

●

Using only living organisms as a medium, which is a condition that depends on the use of forbidden arts, is a more difficult restriction than I thought.

Systematically, in order for a creature to be used as a medium, one of two conditions must be satisfied.

Either there is the other person’s ‘consent’, or it’s about to die.

There are no creatures around me that can satisfy the former, and I don’t want to, and the latter, I don’t have the capacity to correctly match the super-corpse event that neither lives nor dies.

In that respect, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this subjugation is the only opportunity for me to activate my forbidden arts.

“Is this right?”

[That’s right. You picked a good medium. The Magic Beast is very efficient.]

Balkasus inside the Soul Linker answered that.

First of all, the number of monsters picked up like this gradually increased to five. Now, it means that you can carve strokes according to the pattern with minimal performance.

[Originally, forbidden art is a technique that puts strain on the body of the person who engraves it. You can tell just by looking at my past.]

A voice mixed with bitter laughter continued.

[Forbidden arts, once engraved, cannot be erased, so you have to be very careful when choosing them…but.]

“only?”

[There are a few gins I recommend, so try them out. It’s my ambition.]

“…”

[You are now with the world’s best gold magician. Trust me.]

Balkasus said in a triumphant voice.

That’s right. Where else would there be an expert at this level of man in this field?

‘…Where then.’

Shall we believe it for once?

As instructed by Balcasus, he drew strokes on his arm to complete the gin.

Since the number of strokes is not that many, it is not possible to summon an army of the dead on a large scale or summon a special magic beast like Balkasus did.

Still, if it was gold magic, it was the most powerful ability as a single technique. If you have some pretty good skills…

＜ System Message ＞

[ You have acquired ‘Forbidden Art: Seal’! ]

[The ability will be added to the Skills tab! ]

“…”

As soon as I read the contents of the ability that jumped out, I fell silent.

I was hoping for something good to come out.

“Isn’t this only 5 strokes…?”

[Don’t worry, you’ll get stronger later.]

She laughs at Balcasus, who says in a voice, ‘I did well?’

I did well.

It’s so good that it’s ridiculous.

‘Let’s try it.’

If you get something like this, it’s assumed that you should try it once.

As I was looking around with that thought in mind, a perfect match came into sight.

Even Gideon and Krat, who were cultivating mugwort around them with only their swords and fists, had an opponent that would stop their movements for a moment, frowning.

“…There’s such a fucking type in a periphery like that?”

Krat muttered when he saw the huge wolf with grotesque projections sprouting from its body.

Read at noblemtl. com

Judging by its size, it is a medium-sized beast. It’s probably the boss who reigns around here.

Even these humans, who had almost eliminated the other monsters in one blow, didn’t seem to be able to hit him recklessly.

I’ve said it once before, but when it comes to medium-sized monsters, they come out with some special abilities.

‘Looking at the color, I packed it tightly.’

A bitter smile is built in the temple.

The danger of a mutant object can usually be determined by its body color, but that guy is red.

It is a sign that it is the most dangerous among objects of the same class. It’s probably 3, the maximum amount of special ability possessed.

And this guy, among them, has a combination that Sera players would hate.

“… [refraction] on [adaptive skin]. And [super regeneration]. It hurts.”

Gideon also sympathized with Krat with a sigh.

Adaptive skin is a mutation that gives it extremely high resistance to weapons that come in contact with it once.

Refraction reflects the damage you receive.

And super regeneration, as the name suggests, is a stool that continuously regenerates wounds.

In other words.

You have to hit a blow powerful enough to kill a guy who doesn’t die easily in one shot, but the person who hit you has to take the damage.

It’s like three mutations that would be a headache if only one protruded out at the same time.

It is said that he is not standing there triumphantly for no reason while other monsters are being swept away.

“There is a simple solution.”

Krat says with a grin.

“…Is there such a thing?”

After all, the Marquis who rules the northern part of the empire, the most rugged area. Even with such a hellish combination…

“You just have to defeat it until you die.”

“…what about the reflected damage?”

“I endure it with evil.”

“…”

“We just have to see who dies first. I have never lost.”

So you must be alive now, you madman.

How is it with Caliban and Krat?

I don’t know what happened to the minds of the paladins.

“…I will do it. The really dangerous guy hasn’t even come out yet, so there’s no need to strain so much already.”

The core of this subjugation is the ‘devil’s piece’ and the fused monsters that we must attack together with the homunculus sisters who joined tomorrow.

You don’t have to strain that hard here.

As I let out a deep sigh and stepped forward, the eyes of all the members of the subjugation team widened.

“You do? how?”

“You’re fine on your own. I’ve sucked honey so far, so I have to pay for the meal, right?”

As I was warming up while saying that, Krat opened his mouth with a blank laugh.

“…I won’t stop you if you’re willing to take on the hard work, but are you okay? Will you die if you do something wrong?”

Seriously, it’s such a tricky thing for this nobleman to say such a thing.

I can feel Elnor watching me from the side with a stern gaze.

Although it’s the look in the eyes that says, ‘You’re determined to get hurt again, right?’

“…”

Gives you a reassuring look.

No, I’m not really hurt this time.

don’t worry

“…No matter how hard it is to be alone. Helping the country-”

“Gideon.”

Saying that, he carefully looked at Gideon’s slightly trembling hand.

It’s a symptom that didn’t exist before the battle, but now it’s enough to catch my eye.

When I looked there, Gideon stunned and hid his hands behind his back.

“…Okay. It’s nothing.”

“I know it’s not okay.”

“…”

The madness running through the veins of the Duke of Tristan is not a problem that can be solved by cutting down such a small monster.

Because the way to resolve it is a very toxic phenomenon that is limited to ‘living people’.

Elnoya said that I often let off steam, but this person is not in a position to cut people easily, and he must have had no opportunity to do so because he had been shutting himself up in the backcountry for a long time under my instructions.

In such a situation, if it leads to a ‘battle’ that further fuels that impulse, well.

It’s a miracle to hold on to the opposite sex.

“…”

However, I can’t fix this right now.

can’t even solve it

If that happens, things will get worse.

At least until this ‘subjugation’ is over, it’s best for this person to remain in such a precarious state.

“Stay away.”

Saying so, he jumped out at the giant wolf.

At the same time, the other person also recognizes me.

[ A crisis situation is detected. ]

[ It is judged as a level that poses a direct threat to life. ]

[ ‘Skill: Desperation’ is applied as an EX grade. ]

[‘Skill: Concentration of the Swordsman’ is activated! ]

[ Reaction speed and precision increase! ]

With the sound of a beast’s roar, its forepaws protrude.

insanely fast. If I hadn’t increased the concentration of the prosecutor, I wouldn’t have even seen the trail.

It’s a lot slower than Liru, the fastest human I’ve ever encountered, but it’s to the point where you’ll get beaten up if you lose focus.

‘Certainly, it’s strong!’

Even if you look at the special ability, if it belongs to the level of a medium-sized monster, it is threatening enough simply by looking at its physical ability.

In particular, it is common for a guy with many variants like this to be more powerful than a medium-sized monster.

Still, this is also a skill suck, and the specs have gone up like crazy. It is possible to react

A few drops of my blood splattered on the claws that just barely grazed near my chest.

“Sigh.”

Then, bring the sword to the swinging forepaw.

At the same time as he slashed his forepaw, the blue energy that rose from his body spread through the sword like incontinence.

I cut off a little bit of my forepaw as I slashed it, but it was that much of a wound and it quickly regenerated with [Super Regeneration].

I can’t read the beast’s expression, but the wolf seems to be making a triumphant expression.

＜ System Message ＞

[You have touched the beast’s ‘adaptive skin’! ]

[The weapon’s power is reduced by 90% to the target beast! ]

‘It’s like this.’

It’s really selfish.

Blocking an attack would block a piece of equipment. No matter how rare it is, I don’t think it’s a little too much. It’s not for nothing that Sera users get upset when they see this type.

“you idiot! How can you use a weapon like that! That sword will no longer be usable!”

Kratt from behind screamed in frustration.

“Come out! Fighting any more is a waste of time…!”

Krat, who was about to say that, immediately shut up.

Because I ran into the Witchbeast again before that sentence was even completed.

No, it’s okay to be alone, so I said it’s okay. I didn’t even intend to catch it with this in the first place.

This, so to speak, is intended to distract.

-…?

The magician looked perplexed. It is a natural reaction since a human who has lost even his weapon is running at it with his bare body.

But soon, a sneer dwells in his eyes, and he raises his front paws again. You must be thinking of killing me in one blow. Ignoring even its own defense, it swings its forepaws with all its might.

You’d think I didn’t have any good means of attack anyway.

but.

[Use ‘Forbidden Art: Seal’! ]

[ Silence the target! ]

The gin engraved on the arm shines.

At the same time, the same shape but much larger gin is created under the wolf’s body.

The color of the wolf’s body.

It is ‘washed out’.

-…!

The wolf’s eyes widened. It seems that he has instinctively sensed that something has changed, that a fatal danger has arisen.

The ability to protect oneself was all “disappeared” in an instant.

But, it’s already too late.

[ Attribute: Dysenteric Wind ] [ Rating: Basic ]

[If you block the opponent’s attack with ‘Bounce’ at the right timing, you can return a significant portion of the damage to the opponent. ]

Even a sword that has lost its ‘offensive ability’ can still use the ‘skills’ derived from Tristan’s swordsmanship.

At the same time as the forepaws bounce off, the physical force generated by the wolf’s forepaws is returned to the wolf as it is.

The energy contained in it is enormous thanks to the powerful swing to take me down.

Immediately, the thick skin of the guy, which would have been too much for me alone, was cut through and the chest was cut deeply. almost long-term.

And there.

[Use ‘Skill: Stigma’. ]

Creates a protective shield of divine power on the wound as if it were ‘inserted’. The cracks in the slightly opened leather widened like crazy thanks to that.

It has no attack ability on its own, but it’s a pretty useful shield for being strong. you can use it like this It is one of the trapping techniques learned while digging into Sera to the level of a dead person.

And before the beast could even let out a terribly painful scream, he stabbed his sword through the gap in his heart.

-…!

-…

And that alone.

The boy’s eyes lose their light. He staggered, then collapsed to the floor.

“…”

“…”

Seeing the beast’s body immediately collapse, everyone opened their mouths.

No one seemed to say anything until the huge body made a dull sound and collapsed to the floor.

“…Hey, San. Did it just take 5 seconds?”

“4.7 seconds.”

After Krat and Gideon exchanged such words in slightly bewildered voices.

“That, what, what? How, what did you do, sir?!”

Elijah threw out such words with a look of astonishment.

That kind of reaction, I fully understand.

I was dumbfounded when I first saw this too.

＜ Skill Info ＞

[ Forbidden Art: Seal ] [ 5 strokes ]

[ Restricts the use of the opponent’s skill for a certain period of time. ]

[ Duration is 0.3 seconds. ]

A debuff skill with extremely simple effects.

However, as you can see the written ability.

It’s a scam.

as if one was crazy.

To the point where I feel like I have no conscience for saying that Balcasus will become stronger in the future.

‘…It was good to have this person in the spirit body.’

As I thought about that, I smiled bitterly at the amulet wrapped around my wrist.

After all, the final boss of the chapter doesn’t seem to go anywhere.

Thinking so, I continued to look at the body of the fallen Witchbeast.

Because there was something to scratch here too.

‘At a glance, it’s a lump of material, this.’

The beast’s body itself is a top-notch equipment material. Even more so if it’s a rare mutant like this.

As I happily approached the body of the fallen demon, I heard a conversation between two great nobles nearby.

“…The more I look at it, the more useful it is, that one. You have good sense when you see how to fight. Should I use the shield to open the wound?”

“Never mind, savage. Because this is the one I had a relationship with first.”

“Hey, kid. Does it wear out if you share it? uh?”

“It wears out. go away.”

“…”

I’m thinking about it again.

Gideon also tends to be strangely childish when Kratman is involved.

Is it because of the rivalry?
