Monster no Goshujin-sama

Nine.

The slapped intent to kill was enough to feel the physical pressure.

I am certain that the enemy in front of me is indeed that 'war ghost'.

And so, I didn't know.

Why is Edgar here?

Around the village, we should have pulled a security net.

We'll know as soon as we break in.

It should have been perceived by the Spirit of Silan before he came into this place.

And yet, how...

"Takahiro!"

I get a desperate voice.

There was a shadow beyond Edgar.

There was a good Robbie in the distance.

One arm is slumped down, probably because of a broken bone.

I must have run into Edgar before I did.

"Run, Takahiro!

Robbia screams.

The situation is still unclear, but only one thing is obvious.

The ghost in front of me is after my life.

Let's go.

Edgar kicks the ground.

I didn't have time to run away.

"Stand back, my lord!

Pull the Valdish out of your apron pocket and Rose comes forward.

There was something tragic seeping into that voice.

I know.

Rose alone, 'The Ghost of War' cannot be stopped.

The opponent inherits the power of a former brave man, a metastatic who even shapes the peace of the world.

Among my family, I cannot shake one of those swords unless it is Lily or Gabella or Silan...

- I won't let you, ghost.

Breaking through the door of the house, a white spider broke into the situation.

Did you hear Robbia earlier, or did you detect the 'war ghost' killing spirit?

He must have popped up anyway, not knowing what was going on either.

As it turned out, it became an ambush on the warriors.

"Shaaaaaa!"

The spider leg stretched out like a spear, aiming at the ghost's heart.

With the help of Edgar's ghost, interception would be possible.

It doesn't get to the point where you take your life.

But I can hold my legs.

Lily should pop up soon, too.

Silan rushes too.

As long as I can buy you some time, that's fine.

But Edgar never held his leg.

"Huh......!?

From Gabella's mouth, a loud voice leaked.

Her blow was prevented by one Edgar's left arm.

No. To be precise, Edgar didn't prevent the attack.

I just turned my hand.

Naturally, the spider legs penetrated through the raised palms to the elbows.

The meat chops a thousand and the bones crumble.

It was a miserable situation that made me want to turn away.

But at the price, the blow hasn't reached the heart.

The Great Sword, a weapon, also remains warm.

"This one......!

Garbera finds herself surprised by an unexpected defense, but anticipates a counterattack.

But Edgar went into even more unexpected behavior.

A blood gushing hand grabbed the spider's leg so he didn't feel any pain.

"... out of the way"

"Hmm!?

Garbera, who had dared to make a spike from the leap, had no legs on the ground.

Gabella's body, thrown away by surprise, danced through the universe.

Whatever, Garbera, it's as easy as posturing in the air.

Between the time we are being pursued, we will be able to put in place an interception posture.

Because of the imposition, Edgar's left arm is shriveled.

At the expense of one left arm, it's not fit for the sit-down.

If you were fighting against Gabella, you would have.

But Edgar's target wasn't her.

The ghost's eyes just looked at me.

In the depths of his eyes were loose.

It's something I didn't feel from the previous Edgar, who had only exposed his will to battle, giving priority to getting into battle only, without looking otherwise.

Like that, my spine popped.

I even felt some kind of madness.

Come to think of it, Edgar has been defeated by one Silan before.

Yet he has broken into this village alone with all his family.

It's something you can't do unless you're ready to be unparalleled.

What moves you through it?

Without even looking at his body, the ghost proceeded as he sprayed blood from his left arm.

"Haaaah!

Edgar barks.

"Stay together!

Rose wields an axe with all the spirits.

"Let it!

Garbera of the universe gives up badly and flies spider threads.

"Gu......"

Bitterness leaked out of my mouth, and red blood dripped.

"Your husband!?

It was just after that that Lily jumped out of the house.

"You...! Edgar!"

Lily, who sees the situation, rolls out a spear in an angry phase.

"Out of the way!

Edgar left the scene without being forced, and Lily interrupted in between.

"Your husband, safe!?

He throws a voice behind his back as he pokes his spear tip at the enemy.

"... oh"

In a low voice, I answered.

- In that moment, a few things were happening.

First, the yarn of the Garbera spider brilliantly tangled the sword of Edgar.

But I couldn't hold that handheld leg together.

Because Edgar was untrained and let go of the Great Sword.

Instead of the Great Sword, Edgar pulled out and paid off the dagger he was giving behind his hips.

Most importantly, you let go of the Lord's Army.

Compared to the battle axe made by Rose, the dagger was too unreliable a weapon.

More importantly, Rose was ready to die trying to protect me.

"Shh!

The blow carried out with the abandonment was not such that, in a state where one arm was crushed and one dagger was used, even if it was a 'war ghost'.

... If there was one miscalculation, that is that Edgar's side was prepared to do the same.

Just like when Gerbera earlier, Edgar almost ignored Rose's blow.

"Gu...... ha!?

The axe blade fell out from the right shoulder to the flank only to cover itself to the minimum necessary.

It's a deep wound that reaches the gut.

Still no ghosts.

"Ahhh!"

The dagger just ran through the universe aiming only at one target.

Exactly a stab of obsession.

I also tried to match my swords, but it was difficult to get my defense in time for an attack launched from an unexpected step in.

But as a result, the blade of the dagger did not cause any fatal injury to me.

Thanks to Rose.

Are you all right, Rose?

"... yes, my lord"

Rose, who had fallen to the ground a little further away, answered and stood up.

But the movement is not terrible.

I can't help it.

At that moment, Rose took a blow, because she dared to hit her body as it was.

"... what an imitation"

Even Edgar, who attacked him, looked like he had been drained of poison.

Rose, who frontally collided with Edgar, was also bounced off as if he had been dialed by a truck.

It was so strange that my whole body didn't smash on the spot.

"This self... shield to protect the Lord"

The doll's left arm, broken by a smashed clap, falls to the ground to lift it off his shoulder.

But the remaining right arm held the axe and didn't let go, Rose declared.

"I won't let you kill me."

Be impotent.

But because of his impotence, I gained my whole life in nine deaths.

Edgar's dagger was just finished tearing my left arm.

To this extent, the obstacle...

"- Gu."

The groans, they leaked.

"Your husband!?

Lily, who noticed, comes back to me alerting Edgar.

"What's wrong?"

"... poison"

To answer briefly, Lily opened her eyes.

"What, Edgar's dagger!?

"... oh"

The wound began to have a different heat and the body was getting heavier.

I waved for the first time.

"I'm fine. I can contain it."

Strengthened physical ability by magic reduces poison damage.

Though I can't compare to Warrior Class, I'm also at that level about physical enhancement.

There's nothing we can do about this.

An act of combat would also be possible.

Nevertheless, you don't have to dare.

"Soon you'll have a healing magic. Gabella, protect me!

"I know."

Gabella is coming this way.

Though not alarmed, Lily let her unfold a white, shining magic formation.

……

Edgar looked at us like he was observing us.

At your feet, there is a water buildup of blood that is never small.

... cooler than I thought.

The way things were earlier, they seemed like they were going to chase us without getting any more confused.

"Ah."

and Edgar, who was at a good distance, turned back on her heels.

He showed his back and ran away.

Immediately the figure disappeared in the darkness of twilight.

"Have you escaped?"

Apparently he realized the failure of the assassination.

It was a clean escape.

"Gabella, take the rest..."

"You can't leave the Lord as he stands."

Returned in a resolute tone.

"There are many other injuries."

With the enemy gone, Rose pokes one knee and Robbia rendezvous in an unbridled foothold.

"He aimed for the Lord. It is now of paramount importance to ensure the safety of the Lord."

It's risky for Lily to do both treatment and escort.

Gabella's judgment could be said to be reasonable.

"... right"

I gave up my pursuit and called out to everyone on the spot.

"Thanks, guys. Thank you."

I didn't expect you to dive through the vigilance net by any means and ambush me alone.

It was a dangerous place.

"But I'm worried about everyone in the village..."

"It's all right. Mr. Silan will be chasing us by now."

Where Lily accompanied her mouth, she heard a magical burst a little further away.

Silan's presence was felt via the path.

They've already made a move.

"That's Edgar, too. You can't afford to deal with Mr. Silan in the way he is, and let the villagers out a little bit."

Lily is right.

The damage was caused by eating an unintentional blow, but the damage to the target is greater than that.

The earlier onslaught of abandonment was to be feared, but that was the first time it was possible to squeeze the whole body spirits, not in such a state that it could be done again.

Gabella crushed her left arm, causing serious injuries that could reach even Rose's gut.

The magic of recovery in this world is powerful, but not omnipotent.

I don't know how well the Cathedral Knights' 'War Ghosts' recover, but if they do poorly, they are life-threatening, and even if they don't, they can still have sequelae.

I'm worried about the village, but I can't afford Edgar any more than Silan is in pursuit.

Also, so far, there is no such thing as fighting by another enemy elsewhere.

You should not be alarmed, but it is good to see that the mountain ranges have been crossed.

"More than that, your husband. I'm talking about my body now."

Lily sounded a little angry.

"Even though I'm doing restorative magic, I've never been beyond resting. Now trust Mr. Silan and be quiet."

"... Okay, I get it"

It is also true that there is a slight sense of disillusionment due to the effects of poison.

You should be honest with me here.

"Hey, Robbie was hurt, too. How about that one?"

"It'll heal like this."

Even as he hung out his broken arm, Robbia returned it in a low voice.

"Sit down because it's good, idiot"

I can't help but say this from everyone.

I'm going to be pretty strong, but I guess I can still see it unreliable.

It is also a pleasure to be cared for.

I sat down on the spot.

"Your husband."

So Rose called out.

"I'm sorry. Not only did I not do it, but I wounded myself."

With my apology in my mouth, I'm approaching you.

Every step I took, I heard a grunting noise.

"Oh, my God, is that so? Never mind."

"But..."

Rose's expression is dark.

Those eyes are directed at my injuries.

I laughed bitterly.

"Rose would be the worst hit I've ever seen."

"Sure, the damage is terrible, but I can handle it with a parts change. Besides, your husband is an important body. I can't compare."

"Rose's body is important to me, too."

That said, I let him hear it, but there was no sign that I was getting through.

Obviously Rose was depressed.

Odd, you think Lily or Gabella could have protected it.

Lily, who leans on me and uses healing magic, uses her side.

Gabella and Robbia are also turning their gaze to this one.

I know, I crushed it inside out.

"Hey Rose, sit down"

"Yes."

When I said it, Rose approached me honestly and took a proper seat.

Just in case, it's a little odd that you still have a boneless axe.

gaze about the same height, and I said,

"I didn't get hurt because of Rose. Thanks to Rose."

Words of encouragement, that is not why they were words of lies or deception.

For the last moment, if Rose hadn't stood up for me and protected me, I would have been killed by a stab.

It wasn't because of Rose that I didn't.

Rose once said that it was okay for her to become a piece of wood if she wanted to protect me.

She showed me in her actions that the words were not lies.

I smiled at Rose.

"Thank you, Rose"

"... your husband"

The look on Rose's face, which was stiff, loosened a little.

I stroked my chest down with relief.

I don't want to see her sinking face.

Nobody thinks it's a crop anymore, I want to see that gentle smile.

I reached out to hold Rose's hand holding the boneless axe.

And then he fell to the ground.

"... Oh, yeah?

Rose's astonished face became invisible and the ground filled half of his sight.

My body is powerless.

I don't have a voice.

No sound.

My breath hurts.

Chills rule the whole body.

Cold. Cold. That's crazy.

Such a thought. Finally, the puffiness interrupted my consciousness...

- When I realized I was on fire, drifting through the darkness.

Space I remember.

It's my inner world.

I should be, but I got cold somewhere.

Somewhere different.

It's like there's something lurking in the dark that you might not be good at...

I looked around.

... What happened?

I didn't know why I was here.

I can't remember back and forth.

Whatever it is, it doesn't matter if it drifts like this.

I moved my own statue that looked like a light and a double copy.

When I came here before, I know on my own.

Surface.

On the verge of that, something popped out of the darkness.

……

A lot of sludgy stuff tangles around my wrist.

Goosebumps appeared.

Because what grabbed my wrist was in the shape of a human hand.

It's like badly crafted clay.

Or the arm of a corpse on the verge of rotting.

"... Gotcha"

I heard an excited man.

It's the voice of a third party, someone else at all.

It was something you couldn't possibly have heard in this world.

"... Gotcha... Gotcha... Gotcha"

In the other hand, he grabs my shoulder.

Thus, 'it' appeared from the depths of darkness.

"Oh, before."

Similar to his hand, his face is melted in various places.

The face that was righteous has no shadow to see.

There is a deep laceration on his face that ran across one letter, crushing his eyes.

Still, did you find me in the business of obsession?

"I got you, Mashima..."

"Travis......!?

An unusual man twisted his collapsing face ugly.
