Isekai Tensei no Boukensha
Chapter 14-9: Creatures That Should Have Been Caios
"Out of the way!
I cut my arm off at the critical point, and I kicked Kaios away from Amur with the momentum.
"'Aquaheel', 'Aquaheel', 'Aquaheel'! Eliza, Amur, please!
"I get it!
The wounds within sight in three consecutive rounds of aqua heels blocked, but Amur lost his mind as to whether his concentration was interrupted. He'll have a fracture, and maybe I should carry him quietly, but he can't relax any more than Kaios is, so Amur left it to Eliza and I decided to end Kaios.
"Eliza, use this medicine for the knights too."
As much as I could make a highly effective healing or wounding pill, and I asked him to use it to treat Amur and the neat knight.
"Carry me to us if you can. If it doesn't seem possible, go as far as you can. In the meantime, I'll kill him."
If it's true, Kaios would have to be powerless and handed over to the Knights and pull out the information, but he decided it was not possible for Kaios in front of him. Because Kaios had two new arms on his arm that he was supposed to have cut off. Other times, her body was about a turn bigger than earlier, her body darkened, her eyes dyed red, her hair fell out, her blood vessels floated, and she pulsed heavily.
"It's like a demon. I don't know what happened, but it's pathetic to go that far."
Anger nearly faded over what I didn't think was human, but in a monster with the ability to play like an idiot in destroying the Golem with his bare hands, there could be damage after handing it over to the knight, and above all, I couldn't allow this guy to put everyone in the dangerous eye.
"Uh-oh!
"Fast! But...... 'Stonebright'!
Predicting the path of Kaios, who has packed the difference at an awesome rate, he released two shots of 'Stonebrit' aimed at the head and chest.
"Prevent that... then!
My magic, Kaios prevented both shots with his right arm. "Stonebarrette" can't penetrate Kaios' arm and seems to have stopped on the way. Though prevented, despite eating magic, Kaios didn't stop moving forward.
In contrast to Kaios like that, I switched my weapon from Koumaru to Harvard and flanked it with momentum to rotate my body.
"Now wow... don't you"
I thought I'd broken both ways, but the moment it hit, the timing slipped slightly due to Kaios sudden braking, and Kaios' upper and lower body collapsed to the ground with only a few cm connected.
That would normally be the end of it, but Kaios was still alive in that condition, and when he forced his upper and lower body wounds together while falling, the wounds blocked him as he saw them.
"Aren't you more resilient than Hydra?
While imagining Hydra from Kaios' unusual regenerative power and wondering what would have happened to the Jins, Kaios rose up and attacked him.
"It's sturdy, playful, powerful and speedy. If you think about it normally, you're about to struggle... but you seem less intelligent."
You got muscled up to your head, and Kaios repeated all those stupid honest attacks, so it was easy to squeeze.
"Huh!
Waiting for a gap while attacking, I saw a blow that gained momentum, and now my left arm struck the universe.
"Will it grow again? Well, it seems like it's time to stop."
Two arms grew from the wound again this time, but they were thinner and shorter than the right arm. I guess it took a lot of force to connect the torso.
But the momentum of Kaios remains unchanged. However, the strength of his left arm seemed to be decreasing compared to his right, and every time he hit the ground or the wall, his skin was torn and his blood was splashed, and his bones were swollen out.
"It's time to... finish it!
Kaios, who became a monster, also seemed to have a physical limitation, which was clearly slowing down his movements. I'm just gonna swing Halvard around here and push Kaios back. Kaios doesn't seem to have the power to resist anymore, but it also keeps sifting both arms......
"Phew...... Ha, ha!
Halvard's double-fire lost both arms from around the base. Apparently, the strength of my body dropped with my weakness, and I felt softer than when I cut off my left arm, so I might have been using magic to increase my strength.
"Ugh... ahhh... obu..."
"Ha!... hmm? Phew... Phew!
After I cut off my arm, I sifted Hulbert in a hanging to a stop, but the blade coming in from around the left clavicle stopped hitting something hard in the center of my chest. So I changed the angle from there slightly to forcefully, tore it apart again with force, and placed it away from the top and bottom so as not to play it like earlier. Kaios seems to be out of breath, but you should keep an eye out.
"Jeanne, Aura, go back to the mansion and get Grandpa. And Slalin. Eliza, bring Amur and the knight into Suralin when Suralin arrives. Amy, stay away from Eliza and the knight."
"Tenma, what the hell!
Soon after giving the instructions, Jeanne and Aura tried to run out, but Grandpa came before they left the scene. Shiloumal was here with his grandfather, but Slalin seemed to be leaving a message, and he decided to ask Shiloumal to come back and bring Slalin.
"I came because there were some strange signs... but the demon showed up?
Grandpa seemed to have seen Kaios' body and decided it was a demon, but when I told him the circumstances, Grandpa was surprised, and after making sure he was dead, he began to examine the body.
As soon as I started looking into it, I saw a bunch of people coming this way.
"Tenma, hide this body before the others see it."
My grandfather told me to hide Kaios' body. I tried to ask him why, but he looked serious that never happened, so I put the body in a magic bag before I asked him why.
"I got the news that there are people fighting here...... Dear Merlin!
What has come are the guards who often look around the perimeter of the mansion. Because I know her face, I immediately noticed she was a grandfather.
"What the hell? Was it Master Merlin who was fighting?
A leader guard looked around and asked Grandpa, but Grandpa denied it and said me and the thugs fought. You said you killed the other guy then, so you asked me to accompany you to the jar.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that. This case will probably be a royal deposit. That's why we have to go to the Imperial Castle right after this."
Grandpa said so, leaving the handling of the scene to the guards to try to get away from this scene, but the guards ate down that they were not convinced. I said I'd like you to at least confirm the body and tell me why you're going to be a royal depository.
"I can't show you the body, but I'll tell you why. This time the killer is charged with attempted murder of an aristocrat. Besides, it was the Southern Viscount and the Silverfield. There are other suspicious parts, and it's not a good idea to spread the details of the case."
Among the aristocrats, Grandpa's threats that the country would be cracked if mishandled gave the guards a strong face and an atmosphere in which they did not know what to do.
"That said, do you have to work there, too? So someone will accompany us to the Imperial Castle... and someone from the Kingsguard will come, so explain it to him."
The guards accepted such grandpa's suggestion and were to be accompanied by a leader guard. He just said he had to keep a record of what had happened, so he testified on the spot: 'The Amurs were attacked, Amur and one of the knights were wounded, and then I rushed to fight the thugs, and killed them as a result'. The guard wrote down my testimony on the spot and ended up making two pieces that said 'likely self-defense', one of which was to be handed over from the leader guard to the Kingsguard.
"I know you should take the Amurs, but you should put them to rest because of those injuries, right?
"Um, Amur's testimony will be fine later. Curing injuries is a priority now. Alex and the others can't do it to the injured, but you're not gonna tell them to come."
That's why I'm supposed to say that I, Grandpa, and Eliza are the three people going to the royal castle. Jeanne and Aura remained in Amur's care and Amy also waited at the Mansion. Amy's escort knight says he'll wait in the mansion until the replacement knight arrives and come back for a report later.
"Sularin, I've got the mansion guarded. In the worst case scenario, abandon the mansion and get everyone out of here. And I'm sorry, but let the Duke of Sanga and Count Silfield know."
After finishing treatment for Amur and the knight and giving instructions to Slalin, I remembered that he was back at the party at the Duke of Sanga's house. Because it's a return event invited to the Duke's house, so I thought I should let him know, so the Sylphides got their real daughter involved, so it's natural to let him know.
That's what I asked you to do, but I thought you might not be able to do these things after I asked you to, but you could take them on in the form of contacting the victim's officials. Incidentally, Amur's injuries, but the knights had generalized bruises and concussions, and Amur had a concussion and a complicated fracture in his left arm. They both regained consciousness during treatment, so there doesn't seem to be anything else in their lives, but Amur's left arm won't be able to move for a while, even though he's connected his bones.
"Tenma, Master Merlin!
When I got to the royal castle and asked the gatekeeper to call someone from the Kingsguard to give me a reason to visit, Master Lyle came. Behind it are also Mr. Edgar and Mr. Sigurd.
"Dear Lyle, Tenma, I think I'd rather hear the guard's report first than yours."
Master Lyle was about to hear from me first, but Mr. Edgar advised me to prioritize the guards. Master Lyle nodded at Mr. Edgar's advance and read the report brought by the guard. And
"Thank you for reporting. I'll take it from here on out. And everything that this report says."
Upon a decree from Master Lyle, the guard saluted and went back.
"Lyle, does saying that your Lord is here mean that you have some anticipation?
"Yes, just a moment ago, news came that Kaios had escaped from the mine where he was housed, and that the person Kaios seemed to hold a grudge against...... I was just getting ready to be on guard around the tenma. I was on the verge of going to let you know that I was contacted directly..."
Are you saying you came in a hurry?
"Well, you're right...... sorry! You should have sent a knight right when the news came!
Master Lyle apologized, bowing his head at the entrance to the royal castle, saying that he had done it in the wrong order.
"No, I don't mind because I or my grandfather aren't hurt and they haven't done enough to say harm... the problem is Amur and Eliza got involved, right?
Since they are both children of a leading nobleman, it is necessary for Lyle, or the royal family, to take responsibility for both of them more than Lyle admitted otherwise. Besides, I went as close to being killed as I could get to Amur, so the question is how to take responsibility.
"I want you to participate in discussions with your fathers because there are things going on around there. And on that occasion, I want you to tell me what you know about this incident."
And because I meant to say, I was led by Master Lyle to the room that the Kings were there... because the air in the room was too heavy, I almost accidentally closed the door.
"Tenma, Lord Merlin, over here. Elizabeth von Silfeld goes here."
Me and Grandpa were led to a seat near Caesar and Eliza to a seat in front of the King and Maria. Master Lyle, who guided him, sat straight next to the king, and discussions began between the three kings and Eliza.
Incidentally, there are six men in the room: King and Maria, Caesar and Lyle, Din and Jean, and Edgar and Sigurd, who accompanied Lyle to pick him up, did not break up in front of the room to head to the knights who were ready to search for and alert Caios.
My grandfather and I, divided up with Eliza and in a later form, would have no choice because they think the order of apologies had something to do with it. Well, I didn't think it was a problem because neither I nor Grandpa cared.
"Tenma, Merlin, it's tea and tea treats."
Mr. Jean was very attentive. Dear Caesar and Din, I can see you're paying attention from the end of the word, but it was enough for Jean to see it.
When I asked her why she was so concerned, she said that Jean had come up with a cautious argument, and because it was adopted, the initial launch was delayed, and she thought Amur and the others had been raided as a result.
At first, Master Lyle immediately tried to send the unavailable knights out to search and be vigilant, but Jean argued that 'in the midst of the weather anxiety, even fighting with the former militant tournament winner should be avoided, even if it is analogous', adding that he felt responsible because he also said 'more than there is no assurance that he is coming to King's Capital, he should develop some strength before hitting things'.
"You mean everything's behind it... but I guess I can't help it. If you think about it normally, Jean is right."
"In consequence theory, there are injured people, but there are no dead people. Besides, this is also a theory of results, but I think sending in unprepared knights was the other way around."
"That's... no, given that the three of us couldn't hold back and Amur was about to be killed, can't we say it was a mistake"
Mr. Din objected, but was immediately convinced. Even though Amur was flirted with by Mr. Chris in a militant tournament, Amur is better up there in pure combat, and he almost got killed losing three to one in the first place. Even if it was the Kingsguard who was dispatched, one or two of them would have been more likely to die.
"I'm curious about a lot of things, but you should listen to the details with your fathers"
I know it's not because I heard what Master Caesar said, but I finished talking about the Kings in good time, and now my grandfather and I were called.
"Tenma, Lord Merlin, I apologize for putting you in danger because of my wrong judgment this time"
"I accept your apology. I'm not hurt, so don't worry too much."
"I didn't just rush after it was over in the first place. You don't have to worry about it."
"It would be helpful if you could say that"
"It's just that Amur is dying, so please Amur more than me"
"I am well aware of that. Be sure to go apologize later."
I was bewildered by the unusual Master Lyle, but I guess it's natural because it's an apology.
"To Amur, let's go say I apologize and thank you too. It's no exaggeration to say that the damage was minimized thanks to Amur's struggle."
Certainly, without Amur's struggle, some of us could have been dead on that spot, and others could have been harmed elsewhere.
"That said, it makes no difference that the tenma feat is significant. Thank you so much."
I also accepted the king's apology and decided to move on to the next story.
"So you're saying that the killer was definitely in Kaios and was overwhelmed by Amur all the way down the road, but since he took his suspicious pills, he's been reversed and cornered to the point where even the three of us are in danger... No, I don't think he's lying, but often I don't know"
Since Eliza was the only one who could talk to me from the beginning, Eliza focused on explaining it, but it felt like the Kings said they didn't get the guidelines right away.
"Perhaps, then, it's like a drug that greatly improves physical abilities. Besides, I don't know what I said about changing my appearance in such a short amount of time."
In the meantime, we know that Kaios used illegal drugs, but we knew very little else. There,
"Your Majesty, the Earls of Sylphild and Albert are here."
Mr. Cliff came to let us know that Eliza's father and Albert had arrived.
"You two came at the same time?
"Yes. Anything, like Count Sylphild encountered and rendezvous with Master Albert on his way to the Duke of Sanga residence after being informed"
"Anyway, let the two of us through here"
He was a king who was surprised to say he was here at the same time, but gave instructions to Mr. Cliff to guide him right into this room. The king seemed surprised because he thought he would come separately, but I immediately came up with the reason, so I was not surprised at all. Maybe, but I think Count Silfield was about to go apologize for Eliza not attending a party hosted by Albert. Albert and I ran into him along the way, and I guess he came in a hurry to hear about this incident.
My predictions were brilliant, and Count Silfield scolded Eliza after greeting the Kings. Maria stopped me along the way and apologized for my misconduct to everyone in the room, but when I got home from that look, it was going to be real.
"Your Majesty, Miss Elizabeth will also be tired of this incident, and you will have to talk to the Earl of Sylphild, so may we be around here for today?
At Caesar's word, Eliza was to go home, but in fact, it seems that there is a reason why Eliza and the others can't let her hear it, as her grandfather was earringing at Caesar.
"And Mother, from now on, we have to identify Kaios' body, so please return to your chambers."
"Yeah, right. It's tough on women."
Maria seemed to find that there was something seriously wrong with Caesar's words, but she left the room without asking anything.
"So, did something go wrong with Kaios' body?
"Well, there's a little bit of information I don't want you to know... to be honest, I'm not sure I can believe it either."
The king, too, apparently knew it was Grandpa's instructions that kept Maria away, and asked Grandpa directly, not Caesar. Grandpa was the same serious face he was when he told me to hide the body from the guards.
When the king and grandpa were talking, Caesar and Lyle looked at me, but I also shook my neck to the side because I had not been asked why.
"Tenma, I don't mind getting dirty. Do you have a dimension bag?
"There's about half the guys in this room, though?
"Get that out of me. However, according to the case, I have to dispose of the bag... do you mind?
I have some spare dimension bags, so I decided to offer them on the assumption of disposal. Well, even if I didn't have to discard it, I didn't want to use the bag that gave out Kaios' body, so it was a premise or a decision.
"Um... shouldn't I go home?
Albert, who had forgotten his existence, spoke reluctantly when he put out a dimension bag. The king flashed his face like he'd forgotten, but he immediately undone it and told him to stay. For once, I meant because I have been acting for the Duke of Sanga and I want to hear the opinions of young people other than me, but I would feel like I said I would pull in and not get away with it more than I've been asked.
You understood such a king's idea, Albert accepted the order (...) with a blue face.
"Cliff, don't let anyone in this room. Even if it's Maria!
Copy that, sir.
We confirmed that Mr. Cliff, who had been ordered, had left the room and we were all supposed to release Kaios' body just as we entered the dimension bag.
"Tenma, let me out here"
Grandpa told me to get Kaios' body out in two parts around the middle. Shortly after I put them out, they all looked away for a moment, but immediately turned their gaze back.
"Dear Merlin, it is certainly unnatural with all sorts of things, but why do you care about your surroundings so far?
Everyone nodded, except Grandpa, to Master Lyle's doubts.
"If my arm is enough to say four more, I can deceive you for using magic props or magic, but I can't do this. And this must be kept as secret as possible"
That's what Grandpa said. He took out the knife and cut through the center of Kaios' chest.
We were surprised by Grandpa's behavior, but how dare you? Because,
"Magic nucleus..."
Because something came out of Kaios' body that I was used to seeing. It's also something that should only come out of demons...
