Monster no Goshujin-sama

eighteen

- Crusade the fallen knight to Ghoul.

In the name of the man in front of me who proclaimed so, I sounded familiar.

Travis-Mortimer.

It's the man Iino said he met in the trading city of Serratta.

It also matches the appearance you were hearing about, and there won't be any mistakes first.

In addition, I had obtained information about the Cathedral Knight from Siran.

that the Knights of the Diocese are a group made up by the 'blood of grace'.

That some of them have partially taken over the inherent abilities of former brave men, called the 'beloved son of grace'.

Also that one of them is Travis the 'Holy Eye'.

I knew those facts.

Most of all, I didn't even know Syran until I specifically knew what 'Holy Eye' was capable of... Still, if I saw the attack on Gabella earlier, I could be sure that the man in front of me was the real Travis.

Earlier, I questioned, "Who the hell is attacking the village?"

There is no way that Akel's army or knighthood, which has the support of the people, could attack a people to protect.

or that the armies of other nations do not create a spark of strife without darkness.

For whatever reason, if hostile to the diocesan Church, which has the role of maintaining peace, it could be destroyed by its predecessors, the Knights of the Diocese.

But if that's also the Cathedral Knights themselves moving, it's not going to be any problem.

"The look. The white spider you took with you and the girl with the flax hair...... I see you are Takahiro Mashima. We're lucky that 'Ghoul' Silan and 'Evil Monster Users' were still accompanying us"

By repelling Garbera, Travis was joining the knights who were scattered throughout the village.

In the heart of about fifty knights, Travis speaks up.

"Did you think you could run away and hide forever? If so, I'm sorry to hear that. Dirty long-eared people pretended not to know, but they couldn't possibly delude our eyes."

Apparently, the Cathedral Knights attacked the village because they considered Silan, the crusader, to be hidden by her kinsmen and relatives, the villagers.

The words spoken with dignity were, naturally, utterly off target.

"... what you're doing is dooming"

Unexpectedly, the groan leaked.

I may have seen the situation sweetly.

I didn't know that hatred and hostility to beings like monster users and ghouls were so deep-rooted that they clouded their eyes so far...

That's what I thought - I saw the thin, laughing look on Travis' face.

……

No, I realized intuitively.

A tragedy of consequences driven by hatred and hostility?

From Travis' standing behavior, such intense emotions were as if he could not feel them.

"Your neck, our flourishing Knights of the Diocese, Unit IV, will receive it."

Travis shouts out loud.

It was a voice color that sounded good for the appearance of a good man.

It's like a play on stage, I could say.

I put up a lettel on Silan called 'Ugly Ghoul' and on me called 'Evil Monster Users', and I shudder that I am the one to crusade it.

Consistently from earlier on, Travis' statement exalts his legitimacy and, at the same time, demeans his opponent.

There were no feelings of hatred or hostility there, only calculated malice was felt.

That was the proof that Travis' judgment was truly calm.

"... but it's still a bad idea to deal with each other here."

So I lowered my sword.

"What. Why don't you do it?"

One of the knights asked.

He was an impressive man with sharp eyes, bringing in the knights who were scattered throughout the village.

"Yep. Edgar. I'm leaving here."

"Whoa. We found a corner, a prey, huh?

The man known as Edgar showed us his chin.

Though a noisy mouthful, belligerent attitude, he still didn't seem to have any feelings of hatred or anger toward this one either.

The other knights were the same.

In this case, it is rather more ambiguous.

That's because it's just malice and violence that has ravaged one village.

I remember when I used to act with the Knights of the Alliance.

The night I spent in Pioneering Village, there was something the captain was saying.

Among the knights who earnestly wave their swords for the philosophy of righteousness and the salvation of the weak, there are those whose prosperity comes first, corrupt, and bloodthirsty fighting fanatics.

Now I understand.

It was about them right in front of you.

"I won't allow you to violate orders, Edgar-Givalsh"

Travis let him wave at his disgruntled men.

"I'm leaving here. Right here."

Say it in a tone that doesn't make you say yes or no.

Was the tone that made you feel cold, even for the knights, something that made you feel horrible?

Even the disgruntled Edgar, without exception, followed the words and promptly began to withdraw.

Fast.

I could see that everyone was mastering the enhancement of physical abilities at a high level.

Let him go.

Soon after I stopped, Gabella tried to follow them reflexively.

But I guess that was an anticipated situation.

"Ottomer." Angel doll. "

"... Got it"

When Travis gave short instructions, one of the knights responded with a flat voice and threw something like a gem on the ground.

Light rises from the ground.

"... Colour!?

Gabella raised her alarm.

Twenty naked people emerged from the light.

No. Did you just say - 'angel doll'?

You look like a human being, but I guess not.

There is not a single piece of body hair, and the sticky body is cropped.

I don't see any sexual traits and can't even tell the difference between a man or a woman.

The individualless faces were all exactly the same.

Simple spear in the hand.

Aligning its tips, the angel dolls rushed in here.

"Another strange imitation!

Gabella put her legs together.

I guess you remembered the incredible attack you took from Travis earlier.

On the face where the purple script ran, there was a color of strong vigilance.

That vigilance did not allow the knights to be pursued in disregard of angel dolls.

Bad character, the angel doll's vitreous eyes were targeting me and Silan.

We have no choice but to intercept here than Silan can't move.

Fortunately, the speed of the angel doll coming this way as neatly as disgusting was not so fast.

"Lily does magic. Garbera intercept."

I stay as Shiran's escort, and Lily, who stood in front, beats the magic in with a pre-emptive attack.

Those still approaching were fed the spider legs of Gabella.

When the dolls were attacked, they smashed like pottery.

Fragments become smoke and disappear.

Though wary, apparently this was only a disposable pawn, even if it was just...

You can call it stalling.

While we were intercepting, Travis' appearance was distant.

"Stuffed, cumbersome. Follow me, Lord."

Garbera asked, looking like she was going to pop up right now.

"A concubine can do it."

While under the curse of Travis' "Holy Eye," Gabella said to her audacity.

I couldn't help but be vigilant because I was shown Travis' peculiar attack, but no one else seemed to have that much power.

In fact, Syran is knocking down four, albeit unintentionally, and when he's on the same level as Travis, I guess he doesn't have that number.

The number of knights is about fifty.

That's about it, if it's Gabella and Lily...

……

For a moment, I got the urge to chase him without thinking about it.

It was a very ferocious urge.

To the point of perplexing myself.

On the verge of an outburst, I swallowed the urge.

"No. No."

"Why"

"... there are still living villagers"

"Mm."

Did you also notice Gabella, he looked at the villagers who were falling around.

Among them was a man with breath.

I have the ability to sense fog, not only in their exact number, but also in what condition I was able to grasp in detail.

Without treatment, there were a few heavier people who would surely die.

Maybe it's too late, too.

They could not be left alone, trampled without any sin.

Besides, while Silan was down, she needed someone to do it with.

But then, when Lily was cured, and I was next to Silan, only Gabella could move.

Gabella has been affected by Travis' attack earlier, and it was just as dangerous to let her chase him alone.

I just had to drop him off here.

The signs of the Travis disappear beyond the range of effects of "Misty Vault".

"Have you escaped?"

The feeling of helplessness came out as a voice.

"Yeah, that's different. Your husband."

But the word was denied.

"Lily?"

"I didn't get away with it. I got rid of it. It's definitely not meaningless."

He was so strong, he held my hand.

"So let's do what we can?

"... right"

Lily was right.

By driving away the Knights attacking the village, it was possible that they could help the villagers, even if they were a few.

I couldn't do anything.

That's why I couldn't take that life away.

I put my temper back on.

"Lily needs to be treated. Gabella needs Rose and the others. I use the magic of fog to rescue survivors and to guard against the return of the Travis."

Give me the instructions and I'll start moving myself.

It detects survival with sensory magic and prioritizes it from those nearby.

At the same time, check in the corner of your head to see if the Cathedral Knights are not back pretending to have escaped.

If it seems to come back, then...

……

The fierce impulse hurt in the back of my chest for a moment.

The sight of Travis, the knights, pointing their swords at the villagers who were supposed to be protective, resurrected behind their brains.

Pain in which the nails determine the skin of the palms.

Unconsciously, he was squeezing his fist hard.

"Your husband?

"... no, nothing"

In response to Lily asking, I sighed as I exhaled the heat in my chest.

… now, one must save many lives.

I'm back to work.

The pain of twitching my palms didn't get any worse.
