Legend

At first, Lerduct didn't know what was happening to him.

My right arm flying through the air as I spin even thinks it's some kind of joke or something.

I had no idea that there was someone who would do such a grand harm to me, a nobleman.

I knew Ray was a dangerous opponent to attack even if he was noble at all, but still I... thought I was the only one who was different.

I didn't know Ray, who belongs to a neutral, would attack himself who belongs to a nobleman who is said to be forming a friendship recently......

But Lerduct was only thinking of things that were convenient to him, and some important information had disappeared from his mind.

Nor, I guess, is that impossible.

In fact, it was totally unexpected for the Real Duct that Ray would storm directly into his territory… not to mention towards the Lords' Hall.

I was watching Ray sweetly...... not that.

I didn't think I'd do this kind of imitation personally.

Of course, there are those who possess that capability individually.

But doing it means a lot different things than being able to do it.

Why.

That was what Lerduct thought as he looked at his right arm flying through the air.

But... such questions won't last forever.

In the next moment, blood erupts from his right shoulder and intense pain strikes the Real Duct.

Intense pain that I have never tasted in my life before.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Heated iron until it turns red, pain like being pressed against your body.

Of course, there is no way that the Real Duct has ever experienced such pain, but what the Real Duct is feeling now is closer to what should be called heat rather than pain to be exact.

Before I realise it myself, I roll around the floor holding down my right shoulder where the blood blows out.

"Damn!"

Such a relduct, at the next moment, is severely impacted and floats in the air.

... I didn't know that Ray hit him with a Death Size pattern, it was a Real Duct, but I know Ray is mouthing something in a situation where his vision is distorted by tears... The next moment, he feels burning pain again and screams.

"Ghahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

It was a real duct rolling around the floor with tears, runny nose and saliva, but I could not notice that the blood that had been flowing from my right shoulder earlier severed by Ray had stopped.

Overwhelming fever and severe pain. As a result, Real Duct's consciousness was losing room to think about something else.

A glimpse of the Real Duct rolling around the floor in agony, Ray sighs like a shudder.

"There are a lot of people killed at your behest, but you just lost one arm. How about that? You want me to show you a more aristocratic fortitude. I burned the wounds and blocked them so they wouldn't bleed to death."

It was the words of Ray, which contained a shudder, but there is no way the Real Duct would react to it.

For a few minutes, it was Ray watching such a realduct, but eventually when he smashed his tongue small, he took one potion out of the mistering and hung it on the realduct.

The potion is never of high quality and is cheap among those sold in the store.

Still, I guess I could soften up some of the pain the Real Duct is feeling.

There are still tears, runny noses, and saliva on my face, but I still managed to look at Ray because the pain subsided.

"Don't expect to pay for what you've done to this extent. So many people are dead."

"... and even if I say he's dead, he'll be the civilians in question! imitate this to me, a nobleman..."

"Unfortunately for me... and for the inhabitants of Gilm, the merchants are more important than nobles like you.... Well, don't worry. They told me not to take your life alone."

To that word, the Real Duct definitely exhales a breath of relief.

That's how I understand that only my life is okay with less...... the next moment, the death size is shaken and the tip is slashed off from the left shoulder of the Real Duct.

"Huh?... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I guess I soon found out that my left arm was amputated, just because I was amputated once. Without as much time lag as he initially did, Realduct understands what he was doing and leaks a scream into the pain.

Ray's magic burned his wound again in order to stop the massive amount of blood flowing out... Nevertheless, he is not accustomed to pain, and his face looks miserable with tears, snot, and covetousness.

Even though they say you are a nobleman of noble blood muscles, you will not be able to believe them, although not very much.

Nor is it possible to strike a good balance due to the sudden loss of both arms.

The only thing that could turn out to be a real duct was to move unbroken as a potato worm on the floor.

"What... if you don't kill me, I told you so!

"Right. The guy you've asked me to do is tell you never to kill him.... so you didn't kill him, did you?

That's when I finally realize the Real Duct.

The man in front of him has no respect or fear for his position as an aristocrat.

He said that if it was to get in the way, it would cut and tear with its sickle as light as the weed around it.

I knew as information that neither Lerduct nor Ray had found a piece of value against the aristocrats - precisely to the aristocrats who were hostile to themselves.

But knowing it as information and actually feeling it meant something completely different.

Those who have not even found value in the existence of nobility, not just themselves, seem to be completely incomprehensible to the realducts who have lived within the aristocratic society...... only monsters in the literal sense.

I finally understood the danger of Ray's existence in its true sense.

Ray opens his mouth as he looks at such a relduct.

"Even if you lose one or two of your arms... you're not dead. Am I right? What, don't worry, you still have two legs, right?

"Hih, hih! Hi-no-no, no, no, no!"

It wasn't a joke or anything, and if Ray understood that he meant it, all that remained in the Real Duct was overwhelming fear.

Now I understand why those who had been entrusted with their own escorts fled without much fighting.

No, the Realducts weren't exactly conscious when the escorts escaped, but I still knew clearly that if I saw Ray now, the escorts wouldn't have fought Ray.

Before Ray carried out the raid, there was no such thing as a nobleman.

Only one man was there trying to somehow do the overwhelming monster in front of him.

A glimpse of such a realduct, Ray flicks his mouth.

"Well, I'd like to ask you something... there are naturally more magic items than you have the title Count, too, right?

Vikri, and.

to Ray's words. Lerduct stops moving.

What was there was an eye that looked at an incredible person.

Because I understood what Ray was asking for.

If we gather information about Ray, it will soon be discovered that one of Ray's hobbies is to collect magic items.

And there was no way Lerduct knew more about Ray than he was trying to get his hands on Gilm, which is considered a Dusker's katana.

But knowing that, Real Duct doesn't do anything to snort right away.

Magic items are very valuable.

The story is different if it is a magic item like the one used on a daily basis, but the magic item collected by the aristocracy is naturally of high rare value.

Can I do that to Ray?

That's what I thought, and I hesitated to answer Ray's words.

"Hey, what do you mean you don't answer my question in the current situation... you know?

Poking the Death Size blade, the Real Duct that sees it immediately nods and opens its mouth.

"Wow, okay! The warehouse where the magic items are collected is in the back of the mansion., except it's registered with my magic, so you can't open it unless I go!

As it is, I will be killed.

That's what I thought. Realduct manages to scream like that.

"I see. Then why don't you show me around? If you think of it as an apology for putting a little bit out on Gilm, that's not such a bad story, is it? I don't know if life or wealth are important, but it's a different story."

"Wow, I know. But there's not always something Ray wants in the magic items he collects at my house!

It was a relduct that lost both arms, but thanks to the potion it was possible to answer that way because the pain had subsided somewhat.

"I'll let you judge the area.... guide me."

"Wait, you're telling me to show you around?

"Of course not? In the first place, if you can't get to a place where magic items are stored without your magic powers, I don't think that's a funny story?

"But look at my situation now! Not very much, but in a state where you can move..."

Flying Slash

I am not in a state where I can move.

A slash released from Death Size flies right next to the Real Duct that I tried to say so.

If the Real Duct had an arm, it would probably have been amputated.

The slaughter flew so close.

……

It was the face of a realduct where things like tears, covetousness and snot were still not dry, but a new cold sweat can be added there.

"If you can't guide me, I think you've used your feet.... What do we do? I don't care either way. Oh, don't worry. I don't just take my life. That's a request from my client, and I'll definitely protect it."

Ray said so with a grin on his face, but Realduct understands how much that grin terrorizes him.

"I'm going! I'm going!

He was a Real Duct who had a high pride as a nobleman, but the moment he saw Ray's grin, he was naturally a salute.

Now...... really now you must have noticed what is also supposed to be the difference in the character of the absolute being between us.

"Right, then go.... Look, just show me."

Ray makes Ray stand up forcefully as he struggles to stand up under the influence of his missing arms.

"Guh!"

But the shock caused a scream from the mouth of the Real Duct as to whether the pain ran from both burnt shoulders.

Most of the pain is contained in potions, but that's not entirely true.

Not to mention that Lerduct was unfamiliar with something called pain because of the relationship he had grown up to be a nobleman.

Still, Ray is not willing to condone anything against the Real Duct.

Many merchants have lost their lives because of the little Lerduct has sent to the Guild.

Aside from what Ray is aware, it is undoubtedly a fact that many groups of merchants have been attacked, all of whom have been killed.

In addition, it seems that it is finally possible to live under heavy taxes in this Earl of Lerduct territory.

Heavy taxes, but hence even a rebel.

Given the number of people that Lerduct has killed so far, directly and indirectly, I don't feel like treating them very, but gently.

(Well, directly or indirectly, in the sense of the high number of people who killed me, I'd be better off)

War against the Bestian Empire, civil unrest in the Bestian Empire, bandits who raided again and again.

That would be more overwhelming than the Real Duct if you think about it in terms of the number of lives you purely took.

But even with such rays and realducts, there is something decidedly different.

Ray took people's lives mostly from battles and bandits on the battlefield, not from ordinary people.

"This way, this way"

I guess it's hard to lose both arms and balance.

It doesn't go as far as a drunken thousand bird feet...... but a relduct that progresses in a foothold close to it.

Ray stores Death Size and in a narrow place follows the Real Duct while making the very user-friendly Nebra eyes available at any time.

But for Ray, and fortunately for Lerduct, no one attacked Ray trying to help Lerduct.

I ran into some servants, but when I saw how the Real Duct was and Ray looked, I immediately ran off the spot.

... It was also proof of how little the Real Duct was admired by those below.
