A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 457: Grandfather or Vampire
“Sole” remembered the feeling of anger for the first time in my life.
It was impossible to have such feelings in just a short time since birth, but the angry feelings that I remembered in fact. Or maybe he didn't even understand that it was an emotion that was expressed as anger, but he would have asserted that it was anger if others knew about it.
In the first place, there were many people around me who didn't like it even though they were just born.
I wondered if there was one human with the power comparable to a hate spirit, and an additional spirit ran away. It is also the spirits that govern the two attributes of water and ice, where the latter was born. I thought there was enough of that shit.
It doesn't matter when it comes to bloodsucking species that have powers similar to the weak ones themselves. I was wondering why Wing Dragon was defying me, but I wasn't particularly interested in it. There were two people who drew the blood of the demonic fox, but it didn't matter.
With regard to the intermediate level of "subhuman", I did not pay attention because I had fallen back without fighting. Although there were a few strange signs, I left it because of my mind.
Because there were stranger creatures than that.
At the same time as I remembered my anger, "Sole” was so confused as not to be conscious. If you think of any strange creatures, you become spirits or bloodsuckers, and you change the signs.
Though the first sign I felt was supposed to be human, I wondered if I had turned into something similar to myself, and then I wrapped up the signs of a hateful spirit, and even turned into a bloodsucking species, and finally, mixed with it, I became a strange creature.
I didn't like the swinging weapon, but it didn't pose such a threat because of its poor quality. Still, the stretched arm was slashed, burned with the power of the Spirit, and “Sole” thought it was a really strange creature.
After all, the signs of the spirits intensified, so I tried to skewer it, but the opponent wasn't the spirits. Rather, it is a creature that resembles itself, and “something” is definitely different.
There were about two people who were "connected” to such a strange creature, but they weren't so attracted to you. It was a creature like a bloodsucking species and a creature like a spiritual species. Especially though the latter would not like it if it was normal, it was enough to think that it could be left behind.
As a result, he was prevented from moving by the lightning magic of the bloodsucking species, beaten with a sword by a strange creature, and punctured with wind arrows.
Why should I encounter such an encounter? As soon as I thought about it, my anger started to blow up.
But as soon as I could, I had no flesh. Therefore, Sole let him play the flesh in anger.
Black objects that explode suddenly and scatter like bullets towards the surroundings. The moment he noticed the sign, Reurus was moving unconsciously.
At least it didn't seem like Reurus was targeting someone in his eyes, and it was “because of it” that was difficult to deal with.
There are many black bullets scattered, and they are not countable. At the tip of the bullets that scattered towards the surroundings was Natalia, who drove the black sphere to the end.
――――
With the Dragon Slasher as a shield, Reus jumps out in front of the Natalians, turns his magic all over his body, and catches a black bullet that hits him like rain. Black bullets that directly hit the sword of "Dragon Slasher" echo the sound of metal sticking, and can withstand the danger of being crushed by the whole body.
One bullet at a time is not such a threat to Reurus. It's better than a tentacle that penetrates armor and reaches the flesh, and cuts through to the middle but doesn't penetrate.
By holding the Dragon Slash instead of a shield, only the head was protected, and the rest was taken by the body, so there were few bullets coming out from behind. At least Natalia, Chris and Tina are completely protected. Because of the distance, Neddy prevented herself, and because Meer was behind Natalia, she wouldn't get involved.
There were Winged Dragons nearby, but I couldn't protect them from you. Still, the Winged Dragon was in a better position to round himself up and protect the emergency.
Ah...
However, there was Eliza outside the critical area covered by Reurus.
In an attempt to secure radiation to fire a lightning strike on a black sphere, it was only slightly moved and exposed to rain from a black bullet.
Eliza was putting her life in jeopardy with the actions she took to support Reurus.
"Ellie..."
Reurus reflexively tried to call out Eliza's name. At the same time, he moved his gaze to see if anyone could help Eliza.
Immediately after Natalia used her advanced magic, Chris and Tina just blocked a crack in the sky and suddenly didn't react in time to the suicide bombing by a black object.
In the first place, even the moment Reurus felt the magic of a black object, he moved unconsciously and finally made it in time.
And even though you can move and catch it in advance, there's no way to catch up with the bullet after it's been released.
“I might have been able to intercept it in time with Sarah's help,” but there was no guarantee that it could be completely prevented, and the moment I waved Dragon Slash, I would have landed on Eliza.
- I can't make it.
With Reurus, Eliza had no power to make it through the black tentacles, whether she was wearing a black bullet or not. Even though some wounds can be healed, even a Reurus that uses' Caloric Release 'can finally be stopped with armor and body.
If a black bullet hits at least once, it could blow away the part that hits it. Eliza doesn't have the defenses she can withstand, or the power she can heal.
Even if you notice the action of a black object and intercept it with magic, even the use of a lightning wand can't keep up with the magic.
- "Reurus can't make it.”
Therefore, we had to entrust it to luck as soon as possible. I have no choice but to pray to a god I never knew existed so that Eliza would not be hit by a black bullet.
"Huh?"
Reurus unexpectedly leaked a stunned voice to the person who jumped in front of Eliza while wearing the wind.
It was the slaw that was supposed to have been hostile - exposed to black bullets as if it were protecting Eliza.
"Nh, guuuuu!?"
The voice of anguish rose from Slaus. He used himself as a shield, like Reus, to catch all the black bullets that Eliza would have hit.
The puzzle as to why you did such a imitation. Reurus “digested” the black bullet that had been stuck in his body, but he couldn't help but wonder what Slaus was doing.
Though Reurus did not make it to the ground, Slause was able to fly through the sky in time. I was able to accelerate my body with the wind and slide in front of Eliza.
"What do you mean...."
Reurus leaked a faint voice to the appearance of such a slaw. The black object has reached its limit with your suicide bombing, and its signs and magic have already disappeared. For this reason, Reurus switched to the Sword of "Head Hunting" and slowly moved on to Slaus.
The condition of Slaus could be considered a fatal wound by the eyes of Reurus. Couldn't you imagine taking in a black object like a revus and turning it into magic? Even the magic that was thinning is fading even further, and holes are opening up in your body and bleeding.
As before, the injuries caused do not seem to heal. I can't even stop the blood from flowing, and Slaus keeps it flowing.
"Ah, what are you doing... I wonder what you're doing..."
Slaus spinned his voice with a bitter smile. You don't even have the leeway you already stand on, poking your knees on the spot and exhaling deep.
"Really... it's an unscheduled series..."
Like exhaled breath, a deep, unspeakable emotional voice. The face was blank with a loss of blood colour, and the revus that saw it raised its eyebrows small.
--It was the face of the dead as early as possible.
"If you think you're dead, it's like this... it's not funny to die twice..."
While saying that, Slaus looked over her shoulder and saw Eliza's face. And when I checked that Eliza didn't have any scratches, I loosened her mouth a little bit.
"... but, well... if you could see Catherine's blood going on like this... it wasn't bad, was it?"
"... you"
Reurus lost his sight of what was going on while holding the "neck hunting" sword.
There is no hostility that Slaus has ever felt, and we can already see the “ahead”. Still, I can't let go of my hand more than I've done so far.
"Why did you do that in this town?
Reurus asks while holding the "neck hunting" sword. The damage done to the town of Lemona, even if there was already hostility, was enormous.
"Kuku... that's how I was born..."
Slause talks obscure. In response, Reurus jumps one eyebrow, but Slause continues to speak before he says anything.
"With you, isn't it? No, in your case, it's different from me and you...."
"... I don't suppose you're treating it the same way as that black object you were treating earlier?
When Reurus asks, Slaus laughs small.
"Well, well... the" alley ”I just saw... the Gregorians will know more about it..."
"What?"
Reurus raised his eyebrows, but it seemed to me that he had some information about Chris and Tina's behavior. At the very least, someone who doesn't know anything about fixing a crack in the sky won't be able to fix it.
"Me too... when the time comes... but before that, if you're going to die like this... it's also..."
With that, Slause's body starts to collapse from the edge. Just like the black object that just vanished, dissolve in the air.
Still, Slaus does not break the floating smile and turns his gaze toward Reurus.
"You, Reurus, and so on... the power is too much for people... but it's already too late..."
…………
Reurus takes Slaus' words silently. As soon as I realized that my life was short, I slowly lowered the sword of "neck hunting".
If it comes from this state, I'll slay it, but it's already dead. Reurus tells himself that he will not kill anything that dies in a few minutes.
"Ah, ahh!
Eliza raised her voice when she heard such a conversation between Reurus and Slaus.
He understood that he was dying - that Slaughter had helped him, and he realized that Slaughter was dying and spoke up naturally.
Eliza's thoughts about Slaus are complicated. The relationship with my grandfather is the same, but it was Slaus who grabbed it from the town of Speranza.
Angry, conflicting, and complicated - but now I feel only one thing about being saved.
"Thank you for your help."
I don't know why I helped myself. Still, Eliza said a word of thanks.
Slaus opened his eyes a little to Eliza's words and opened his mouth as to what he was trying to say. However, he did not spin the words and immediately closed his mouth.
"Goodbye... Grandpa"
But now I look at Eliza's words.
"... Grandpa, huh?"
Slaus leaked the unexpected word. And you murmur with a bitter smile.
"Hmm... I'm not qualified to be called like that.”
That said, Slaus' body collapsed a lot. With the amount of blood flowing, the magic fades, melting most of your body into the air.
…………
Hearing Slaus' last words, Reus was naturally solving 'caloric release'.
My wounds were already blocked, and I decided that there would be no more fighting.
…………
The moment you solve the "Caloric Release", Reurus' consciousness will be bright.
Before I even remembered my doubts, Reurus collapsed on the spot.
