What just happened?
That was what Ray felt when he saw the sight now.
No, I know what happened.
Kabazid took responsibility for this civil unrest with his own life.
But...
(Now what did Kabazid say?
I heard Kabazid fall into the ground... more precisely the words leaked out of his mouth, and Ray groans inside.
Ray couldn't move as he watched those around him rushing under the kabazid.
The word Takayuan Castle Park was spoken by Kabazid when he stabbed the tip of a dagger in toxic purple to see into his belly.
Ray knew the words.
However, it's not a word I learned in this world, it's something I saw on TV when Ray was still in Japan.
As one of the leading cherry blossoms in Japan.
Too... It was just too beautiful a cherry blossom, and the name of the place Takayuan Castle Park in Nagano Prefecture was strongly impressed in the rays.
And no cherry blossoms exist in this world.
No, maybe there is, but at least Ray has lived in this Elgin for nearly two years, but he's never seen cherry blossoms.
I mean...
"Your Highness Kabazid! Why are you imitating this? Yeah, no one can use healing magic!
"No! Sure, the injury is terrible, but this symptom is not an injury, it's poison! This dagger is planted with a powerful poison!
"He said it was poison!? Then wait, I have a potion for detoxification! Take this."
"Help!... No, it's not working! It's a powerful level of poison that you can't even do with the detoxification potion!
"Damn, the healing magic user!
"Immediately...... I'm here!
"You're here! I ask for the treatment of His Highness Kabazid!
A man in his thirties or so who rushed to those with Kabazid was usually famous as a moderate figure.
But now he tightens his temperate face tightly, touching his hand and casting a spell toward Kabazid, who is falling into the ground.
"O light, heal the wounds of this man, and have mercy on him greatly."
The white light, created from the man's cane, touches the wound of the kabazid.
"Healing the Light"
Magic activated with the completion of the spell.
But...
"Oh no... this..."
The wounds on the abdomen of the already unconscious Qabazid did heal with healing magic.
But in the next moment the exact same wound is created again.
It's like rewinding time when you get hurt.
"What the hell is going on here!?
A nobleman watching the situation grabs at a man using healing magic.
I guess the recovery, even for a moment, was extra confusing just to see it go back to its original state as if it hadn't.
But even a man who uses restorative magic has no idea why this situation is happening.
I'm just packing it in the crusader's headquarters, and I can say that this wizard's skill is top notch.
That is, as long as the hands and feet have been severed, it is possible for any of them to be connected back to normal under the condition that they are cut off, or it is even possible to renew lost hands and feet if scarce materials can be used.
He was undoubtedly also a healing magic user inside this Bestian Empire and into five fingers.
It's impossible that I can't heal the extent of the wound that stabbed my abdomen.
Think so, then the reason for this current situation is… and it is the dagger with the purple sashimi falling on the ground that turns his gaze.
This was all I could think of, more than having no problems with my skills.
"This dagger has some other effect besides poison… it probably has the effect of inhibiting treatment"
The moment I squeal like that, my surroundings squirm.
If the effect of inhibiting wound healing is true, there is nothing we can do about it in the present situation.
I guess I could have done something with proper equipment and the kind of scarce magic items for recovery, but this is a battlefield, not a laboratory, not a treatment center.
There was nothing more I could do than be.
Furthermore, the poison that invades the body of Kabazid is a powerful and extreme poison...
No, sir.
A man who had managed to extend his life using healing magic shakes his neck in silence.
Whoever was here knew what the trick meant.
In other words... the first prince of the Empire, the flame of Kabazid's life, disappeared.
"Oh no... Brother Kabazid, what are you imitating like this!
Shruth screaming and slamming his fist to the ground.
Schuls was experiencing a lack of expertise in the presence of Kabazid.
But it is true that they were brothers who divided the blood, and they came this far together as crusaders, bent over.
Strongly shocked that such a person threw his life lightly, and surprisingly, even Schuls himself, tears fall from his eyes zero.
"Brother Kabazid..."
That's not just Schuls, and so is Vihella.
It's just that Vihella didn't remember so much profound sadness because of the perception that Kabazid's life was likely gone more than it caused this much civil unrest, and that he lost it, or because the lack of know-how he felt from Kabazid was stronger than Schuls.
It is nevertheless true that he is the one with the blood connected, shaking his head small.
"Dear Vihella, anyway, if you don't declare that His Highness Kabbazid took responsibility for his defeat with his own life in this battle... civil unrest is our victory, the battle won't end"
"... right. Too bad, but I can't help it any more than this is a fight. Brother Schulz."
To the call of Vihela, the Schuls, who had stood on the ground, rise.
That gaze is directed at the nobles who are nearby after the last glimpse of the body of Kabazid.
"The battle is over. Inform each front of this defeat, and order those who are still fighting to stop fighting. And I'm offering to surrender to Merclio, so get ready for it."
'Ha!'
To Schuls' words, several nobles quickly reply and move on to action.
Some 1st prince aristocrats are still unbelievably dismayed by the death of their own master, Qabazid, but most aristocrats have already followed Schuls' life and taken action.
Originally, the 1st prince sect has an excellent collection of nobles. That's why, once you take action, that move is quick.
At the same time that such an exchange is taking place on the part of the Crusaders, it also moves on the part of the Merclio Army.
Vihela commands Tiyur to send orders to each front to let him know that the Crusaders have surrendered and to put up the battle.
And...
"Ray, can I have a minute?
Ray, still stunned, nodded back to me in the voice of Vihera.
"Oh, what?
"Can you get a message from the main unit that it's our victory? For once, I'm sending orders to stop the fighting, too, but I need a formal ceasefire order from the main unit. Besides, there are places where it's faster for me to get a message from the main unit than I can get a message from the main unit."
"... I see, okay. Then I'll be right over there."
"Yeah, please.... Ray, is something wrong?
While we were having a short word exchange, I guess I understood that Ray was looking subtly strange. Vihera asks worryingly, but Ray shakes his head to the side and shows with attitude that it's nothing.
"If you're going to issue a decree for a truce, you'd better hurry. Well, I'm sorry, but we're going first."
That is all he tells, and Ray flies to the sky, crossing into Seto's back without hearing from Vihera.
Now, I want to think of things anyway. Ray, who had that thought, flies through the sky even though he thinks it's bad for Vihera.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"
Ray strokes his neck to Seto, who looks worried behind him.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it. Now go to the main unit."
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
Seto advances through the air, honking high enough to sound surrounded by Ray's words.
Those who saw it, who were still fighting on the ground, stopped moving for a moment, temporarily. It would be for the record that the fighting stopped.
(What Kabazid said was clearly a Japanese cherry blossom site. I mean, Kabazid is ex-Japanese? It's true that it has some relationship, even if it's less. Just like Takum Szunose, who was a few magicians at one gate of Zepile, has he transferred to this Elgin for any reason?... No, you're not)
First, Ray dismisses the first thought that comes to mind, without question.
Kabazid's appearance was so well-faced that he deserved to be royal.
Not much, not a very Japanese look.
Above all, Kabazid is the prince of the Bestian Empire. I mean, he's the son of an emperor tragist.
Beyond that, it was clear that it was not in the same form as Takum Szunose.
(Then, just like me? But to whom? In my case, Zepile almost died for Warcraft... no, he caught my dead soul)
Think that far and remind me that you haven't fed Seto the Demon Stone lately.
More precisely, the demon stone of an unknown monster who can master new skills.
(No, I'm not. Now I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about Kabazid. He came from Japan to this Elgin alone with his soul, possessed by Kabazid's body. If I went through the same process that possessed this flesh, I'm sure of that...... but then what do you want death for? If you came to this world just like me, you'd be dead once in the other world at least. So, if you want to live...)
Even while Ray is troubled, Seto wings and flies through the sky.
Seto, originally a griffon, travels faster than Wyburn. From where the Crusaders had their headquarters to where the Merclio army had its headquarters, it did not take long to arrive.
"Gru?"
Ray, who returned to me to the sound of Seto, turns to the ground in a hurry.
There, it was confirmed from the headquarters of the Merclio army that several soldiers were looking over the sky.
"Get down, Seto"
"Grrrrrrrr!"
Seto rings briefly at Ray's words, wings flapping and going down toward the ground.
Soldiers on the ground tense for a moment about the appearance of such a ceto, but quickly distract themselves.
Even if you know it's Seto flying in the sky, you really get nervous when you look at Griffon.
... If we can confirm that it is Ceto, there are naturally a lot of people who are cute.
"Good day, Captain Ray."
"Oh, I have an urgent report, so I need you to talk to Theorem and Merclio and the others."
"Ha!"
Watching one of the soldiers leave, Ray slaps Seto's back lightly.
I guess that's all Ray figured out what he wanted to say. Seto moves to an undisturbed place around him and rolls to sleep.
A few of the soldiers around him looked down in the eye at Seto, who meditated his eyes as he rang his throat.
Looking at the usual sights, Ray remembers thinking earlier.
(Why Kabazid wanted to die. The idea is... couldn't you adapt to this world that's so inconvenient that it's not comparable to life in Japan? No, sure, if you were born into ordinary people, you wouldn't know that either, but Kabazid is the royal family of the Bestian Empire. If you use a magic item or something, you can live much the same life as Japan... in some cases, you could have lived much more)
I'm pretty sure there was hardly any such thing as life inconvenience because I wasn't born into Elgin without a back shield like Ray.
(Most importantly, being from Japan means living a cramped life as a royal family... Could this be it?
Even for Ray, if he asked me if I wanted to live in a controlled state of everything in my life more than I lived as a normal ordinary person in Japan, I would say I would prefer not to.
Eat whenever you want, do whatever you want, and sleep whenever you want.
Because life as such an adventurer is already stained in the rays.
(Just still going from being yourself to wanting to die? Don't feel a little weak)
Looking at the ground, Ray was trapped by the strange thought of being convinced but not subtly convinced, but he inadvertently raises his gaze.
There, I saw soldiers approaching earlier.
"Lord Ray, His Royal Highness Merclio is here to see you. Go ahead."
"Okay."
Exchanging words briefly, Ray heads to the tent.
There, besides familiar faces such as Merclio, which is also the symbol of this Merclio army, Theorem, which is essentially moving the Merclio army, and Ciance, who is also its deputy, there were also the figures of several nobles.
The low figure of nobility belonging to the Merclio army is probably due to the fact that many of them are actually out on the battlefield.
"So, Ray. What's the story? You came all the way here for some reason, which is an important force of war, right?
Nodding at Theorem's words, Ray opens his mouth.
"The crusading army side has made a total surrender. Also, the 1st prince Kabazid took this responsibility with his own life, self-harm. I tried to treat him..."
If you shut up and saw Ray shaking his neck sideways, that meant it was futile.
