Eighty-six Stories: Owl Knight 2

Flush through the eartips of the spear where Galore's sword has been rolled out and slide straight into the pattern to the spear owner.

On the face of the adventurer, a section of the broken blade was tapped in.

Rusty swords slit the throats of enemies torn by snoring from eye to nose and screaming.

An owl knight, who in an instant had one enemy, swung a double sword at the second and third enemy that immediately attacked him.

An adventurer, waving a great sword, sees the bloodshed flown from the sword of an owl knight and stops in the meantime.

While I wipe my eyes, another adventurer holding the axe in both hands crosses the blade with the Owl Knight.

When he received the left and right hand axes, which were waved down, sequentially with his sword, the owl knight flinched his heavy cloak and put his foot on the enemy as he twisted himself.

An unbalanced adventurer falls while rubbing an owl knight's armor with his chin. Soon the feather cloak wore over the adventurer's body, and the rusty sword pierced the adventurer with each of those cloaks.

A cuddly voice. When the Owl Knight jumped out of his sword, the hand axe adventurer was stung in the middle of his back and out of breath.

Behind the coffins leaving the square, an owl knight finally made a call to the Great Sword Adventurer, who finished plucking his blood.

"... bastard!

Adventurers stripping their teeth and wielding the Great Sword overhead. Something unusual suddenly overtook him as he proceeded.

Countless red snakes, Makito. He does not wave a one-handed battle axe to the Owl Knight.

Two swords knocked the blow off the top right corner. Battle axe piercing the ground.

But Makito stretches out the arms of those who are not holding the battle axe to the Owl Knight.

A red snake crawled out of all fingernails, hitting me at high speed.

About two shredded the helmet of a bowed owl knight, but a sword shaken up shortly afterwards doubles the torso of the little snake at once.

Screaming like a baby. The snakes are misty in the air while the heads are dropped.

That, from beyond the red mist, the great sword flew in. An adventurer's blow caught up with Makito hits an owl knight on the shoulder.

Without trying to force him to resist the impact, he kicked the ground with his grated feet and jumped backwards.

An owl knight stares at his enemies as he holds down his squeaky shoulders.

The rest are the brave Makito and two adventurers. Behind the Great Sword Adventurer is a man with two swords on his hips.

"Never before have I manipulated a snake of my own free will"

As Makito pulled the battle axe off the ground, he rattled the bones of his neck.

A new snake is already crawling out of his fingernails, where the snake has just vanished.

"The Holy Snake crawled out on its own when I was wounded, and after striking back at the enemy, blocking the wound... it was just being there.

I'm not moving it. It is only Mariella's orders that the snake obey.... that's what's going on now... I can move it freely even if I keep my mouth shut "

The serpent who was breaking Makito's shoulder ran away from the adventurer of the Great Sword who tried to fly to the Owl Knight.

A thick snake's body, which has become as if it were a munch, strikes the adventurer's abalone and blows it away.

Seeing an adventurer whose sword pierced his chest on the clap of a fall and stopped moving as it was, the owl knight's eyes sharpened like a blade.

Makito puts the battle axe on his shoulder, while he hangs his neck again.

"That's strange. Most snakes are now part of my body, like myself. I just assumed I couldn't manipulate it, maybe it had already turned into my hands and feet.

... Look, just be a little aware, like stretching your fingers "

The moment Makito turned his hand, the Owl Knight flew right to roll.

Five serpents leapt out of their claws, and swung through the ground where the fowl knight was like an arrow.

"Did I wake up to a new use of power because I hated you too much? I thought I wanted to feed you to a snake, so now I can do this? Hey?"

Makito's words also reach Gallor's ears, who watched the battle on the wind.

Gallor told the two Warriors to whisper as he rose off the ground, restarting the wounds on his arms and also putting a cloth on his torn mouth.

"Handle your mouth, you won't be able to speak... but take me to Dust"

"To the Demon King, is it?

"Hurry."

To Galore, who commands short but strong, the warriors turn to Dust, who is falling with his shoulders supported.

Gallols' actions stood out in the less crowded square, but both the Owl Knight and Makito are turning their attention to each other's movements.

The only person I've turned to is about the last adventurer behind Makito. But there's no sign of him coming this way either.

Gallor leaned by the dust along with the two Warriors and laid his hands on his shoulders. "Oops," he said, and even if he boiled, he wouldn't look up.

As the Warriors held Dust's shoulder and raised their halves, Gallols breathed in the revealed face.

Dust's face was bright white as if it had frosted.

He was originally a white man, but now he's bleached to the point where he doesn't feel angry.

Have you died at the price of using great sorcery many times? Gallor's wrist trying to slap him on the white cheek, but his suddenly raised hand of dust stopped grasping him.

Keep your eyes closed and the dust exhales deeply.

"Are you okay? Gallol."

"Oh, he's still alive. But you..."

"Never mind. From the time I laid my hands on the magic of manipulating death, it was decided that this would happen. Approaching the corpse alive... that's what I deserve, payback"

As if rusty doors, dust eyelids open slowly.

My eyes were out of color. In the middle of his white eyes, he has white eyes. He grabbed Gallor's shoulder swallowing spit and woke himself up as the dust warped his face.

White eyes look at Makito. Dust laughed quietly at him with a glittering, burning willingness to kill.

"I heard you talking. - Awakened to the use of new powers? Totally hilarious."

"What?

"Is there such a convenient story? I've studied the highest levels of witchcraft in Rayakels the Demon King, and I've been brushing my witchcraft arms for so long that I've seen this... such luck come to him just parasitized by a red snake and just raging at his will."

Dust tells everyone to whisper, with his arms around the neck of a warrior regiment member who lends him a shoulder from the side.

"I guess Mariela, the Divine Summoner, had ordered the Red Snake to protect and lend strength to Makito. But the nature of the red snake is only a parasitic creature that parasitizes creatures and deprives them of their right to act… a being that adversely affects the human body."

"Well, put it in your body and it's not going to be healthy...... I mean, what do you mean?

"That's a reward. It's a reward for bruising death with sorcery."

The dust pulls up the corner of his mouth and makes him look like a beast.

"There's no way Machito, who has no witchcraft, can manipulate the red snake that is enslaved by Mariela's witchcraft. If you say the red snake moves exactly as Makito thinks... it's upside down"

"Reverse?"

"The red snake is manipulating Makito. When an owl knight slashes his face off, Makito is inherently dead once and for all. Losing a whole front of the head is enough damage for a human to 'die instantly'.

The Red Snake repaired Makito's flesh... but felt threatened by the foreign enemy who gave Makito an imminent death attack "

"Feel that? You got a parasite?

"The instinct to detect a crisis is also equipped for inferior organisms. If he is commanded to defend Makito, the Red Serpent will take over his body when he meets a superior enemy who has crossed his limits and will instead fight his enemies with all his might.

A human being parasitized by a red snake for a long time loses consciousness of being manipulated. Even if they move the flesh as they please, they mistakenly assume that all of it is based on their will "

Parasites, red snakes, that have existed since antiquity in Coffin.

It dwells in the living body and moves as it pleases... eventually invading the spirit as well.

"Even if my heart is moving, Makito is dead now. A human being who takes over his will and doesn't even realize that...... does that mean he's alive?

"... body and mind... snake puppet... or"

Makito laughed in a group of snakes rising from all over her body.

Staring down at the owl knight, peeling his teeth off.

"I'll drop you on the ground as many times as I can, owl. There is no light in birds that can only fly in invisible darkness!

To the brave man who squeezed the battle axe and laughed high, the owl knight quietly laid his two-handed sword.

From behind the helmet, an angry, low voice leaks.

"The owl... flies into the dark ages (night) without light..."

Slowly the tip of the sword turns to a group of snakes who are turning to the voice of intimidation.

"... put your fingernails up against threats to harm people (snakes)!! Come! Brave Makito!!
