Lesson 27: Heterogeneity

"Hmmm... the centipede... will not return yet,"

"Oh. Damn, what are you doing, he's... he's just a monster"

To the master's words, Nevila looks at the clock in the room in frustration. The clock needle had already indicated that the sun was setting.

Cenri left the room after dawn, some time later.

Seeing Nevila and the others who had adjusted their time to ensure that the solar sentence was established, they instantly understood the situation and popped up without even stopping it.

Reminds me of the look on Cenri's face, which crumbles like a cry, and Ruffrey frowns.

The purpose of the Knights of the End is to crusade second degree Necromancer and Horos Carmen. It's done already.

That meant Senli Silvis' promotion to a first-degree knight, but now it wasn't the kind of air to celebrate it.

Cenli Silvis is sweet. An average person should describe it as kindness, which is unnecessary for the Knights of the End.

The Knights of the End, who wage battle against the cunning family of darkness, use all means to carry out their mission. And that M.O. isn't always right.

Sometimes torture can cause tragic death to show off. Sometimes they kill the people they gave to the Dark Families, or even ignore the hostages. None of the members of the Knights of the End fought on the grounds of resentment against the Dark Families.

And the world has tolerated them all. An undead with special abilities that live humans do not possess is the natural enemy of mankind, with no hands, no feet, and reinforced by sucking death.

This time, Epe lied to Senli Silvis. Speaking of missing the harmless undead that Cenri met, I let the Luffreys go on a crusade.

But Ephe has no regrets about the deed.

I'm sorry I lied to you. We also know that it will hurt Cenri's heart. But I don't just regret it.

That is the right thing to do as an end knight, therefore.

Cenri is a tiger child. The blessing continued to intensify with each passing day, pulling out the Luffreys, who happened to be senior knights.

After that, it's the mind that should work out. She doesn't have too much in mind as an end knight. And this case will be a great opportunity for growth.

Luckily, she's smart. You'll be convinced if we discuss it. Now I just need some time to calm my emotions.

Harmless undead, etc. - Because it doesn't exist.

The undead strikes people from their instincts. They are jealous of their lives.

"The Corpse Ghost (Ghoul)" eats people's dead flesh, and "The Dark Rover (Dark Stalker)" attacks people from the dark. "Vampire" sips human blood. To those undead, humans are like livestock.

An undead is a curse. Cursed so that the abominable Necromancer (Necromancer) would do so.

That is why the Knight of the End purifies his soul and gives it an end.

"But master. Really, is it possible, for example, that once dead things become undead with their lifetime memories...? I know vampires have the power to depend on their blood-sucking counterparts... sure, that undead wasn't swallowed by instinct. They didn't attack us."

"You didn't attack me because Thelma shot through my leg with the first shot. Coincidence! What have you seen so far? It doesn't make sense to talk to them!

To Luffrey's question, Nevila smacks her tongue and says it in a tone of intimidation.

Nevila is a little rough, but twice as willing to fight the undead. This kind of talent will also be needed for the Knights of the End.

Ephe narrowed his eyes, not answering the question, but answering it in a serene voice.

"Nevila is right. They are doomed."

The presence of undead with lifetime memories. That's a secret only told to first-degree knights among the Knights of the End.

Death is the farewell of this life. While men mourn the death of those who are close to them, it is death that moves forward is irreversible, but it is the result.

If we know that the possibility of overturning it is also a shard, we will cause a great deal of confusion in the world. Among the Knights of the End, there may be those who try to resurrect their fallen companions using the abominable Necromancer magic.

No matter how low the odds are - people think they're all right without a good reason.

"I just shouldn't have been sentenced to solar punishment. Shortly after I felt the pain, I should have purified it. It's your weakness, Nevila. I always think that solar punishment should not be used for tactical reasons"

"... chip"

I guess the Luffreys didn't really care either. I'm frowning and looking at Nevila.

Solar punishment is torture for the undead. The senseless act of inflicting pain is contrary to the raison d 'être of the Knights of the End, whose mission is to purify dirty souls.

The execution is recognized in the Knights, even though, because the act will be one salvation for the End Knights, who hold grudges against the undead.

Don't do it beautifully. It was also a testament left that the End Knight was also a person with emotions.

But this time, Ephe says such words to Nevila not only for humanitarian reasons.

Close your eyes and look at Nevila, who acted recklessly.

"For sure, I meant to tell you to perish. So I immediately turned you in - before dawn..."

"... Solar punishment is certain. There's nothing a vampire can do, you know that, Master? It's impossible to help. Hey, I don't have company. If that's possible, I won't use solar punishment as much as I want."

…………

"It also confirms that the playback did not begin. The power was completely depleted. Even if it were, it would be half an hour. Well, for that monster, you might feel it for hours..."

"Master, what Nevila says is true. I'm pretty sure that solar punishment wasn't something prepared, but something left to emotion... but that undead was so bad that Nevila would be... very, spooky"

You remembered the sight, Thelma makes you look small and trembling.

Generally speaking, undead is acting according to instincts. Follow your instincts and attack the living. The ego that begins to sprout from a corpse ghost also assumes a strong instinct for itself.

But those who have lifelong memories - no.

I don't know if that is the unique property of that individual who retained his memory even after his death, or if it is the result of a mix of human memory and undead instincts but a late one. But the undead with lifetime memories were all 'heterogeneous'.

Few examples exist, such as the memorable undead of previous life, so only a few exist to the extent that they fit with one hand, but there is also a record of fighting those heterogeneous undead in the headquarters of the Knights of the End.

They are - beings that combine human intelligence with the flesh of monsters. You have to kill them while they're weak.

Even if, at the moment, it was a being that had never attacked a person, existence itself would not be tolerated.

"Nevila, it's time. Find Cenri and bring him back. You can't be in this city forever."

"Ugh... not back yet means you're pulling your tail, right? He's so tough... I don't know if I can bring him back..."

"I'm the one who sent you on the crusade, but you're the one who chose the solar punishment. It is also your responsibility, Nevila, to explain it properly. It's okay, Cenri is a strong daughter. I can also face tragedy. Discuss it carefully and you'll understand."

On the recommendation of Ephe, Cenri becomes a first-degree knight.

Being a first-degree knight also unlocks information about undead with memory. The 'threat' is also known.

I hope we meet one step later, but even now, it's inexplicable.

"... Shh. A beginner princess beats me up..."

Nevila sighs with a sincerely unpleasant look on her face and gets up.

As if I had anticipated it, the door was knocked small.

Everyone's gaze turns to you at once. The signs felt from beyond the door were very similar to those of Cenli.

Nevila's expression loosens slightly. gaze at his companions with a lofty motion,

"Cenri, you can come back. Always a whimper. I'm worried about my master."

"Oh, wait, Nevila."

I was uncomfortable and it was too late when Ephe stopped me.

Nevila was unlocking the door and turning the knob.

"- Oh, I'm sorry to bother. Hi, I feel like I have to be invited in - but it's probably because of the vampires."

The door makes a squeaky noise and opens thinly. The look on Nevila's face, which was loose, shuddered and in an instant turned into something that caught on.

A slender shadow enters the room in casual motion.

The man, wrapped around the signs of being just like his disciple, narrowed his crimson eyes and gave him a thin grin.
