Monster no Goshujin-sama

34. Wreckage Gone

34

"O king. Take care. Someone is down."

By Dora's warning, we put our feet behind us.

When I narrowed my eyes and looked at the end of the aisle, I could see something falling in the light from the blurry wall.

I still have a little distance, so my eyesight only makes me look like a black chunk.

"Is that a person...?

"Yes."

Dora also sees this light intensity and distance.

"Maybe you're a man. I can't say for sure because it's on top of me."

That said, she turned to Kudo.

"O king. Shall we?"

"... that's suspicious"

Kudo narrowed his eyes.

"It could be some kind of trap. Dora, see how you're doing."

"Ah. No. Kudo. Let's do that this way."

When I stopped, Kudo looked suspicious.

"Senior? I don't mind, any thoughts?

"Oh. You'd better be careful here"

Once I let Kato down, I stretched out my left arm.

"Have a look, Asalina"

"Therma!"

Asalina grows from the back of her left hand.

"I see, if it's her, does that mean there's no damage where it was attacked"

I raised a voice like Kudo impressed me.

"It's convenient."

"I'm not asking you to help me."

"But aren't you unable to pass on a detailed report even if she does?

"I'm fine. In Asalina's case, she shares some of her senses with me. It also largely conveys intent."

"That's really convenient"

While we were talking, Asarina was pulling the shadows back and forth.

Then I looked around a little bit, and Asalina came back.

"Thermer"

"... yeah. There seems to be no danger. Just be on your guard, just in case."

"Hmm. I don't need you to tell me."

Dora turned her hands into swords.

Maybe it's because I thought they took my turn.

Black eyes pointed this way.

"So is that alive?"

"... no. Looks like he's dead."

"Corpse. Then there's no risk of sudden attack."

There was nothing in particular about the fact that people were dead, and Dora took the lead and walked out.

And when I took Asarina, I reclaimed Kato, and followed him.

Kudo walking next door calls out.

"For once, let me ask you, it doesn't belong to that body, the senior's family, does it?"

"No. Then you'll know in advance on the pass."

"Really? For example, who is it?"

Kudo showed him how to conceive.

"There might be a line about someone who got caught up like me. It seems possible that the knight of protection was involved. Or, possibly, an enemy defeated by a senior's family. Oh, no. Could it be someone who was once lost in this place, completely irrelevant to this case?"

"I guess that's the place. Anyway, check it out and you'll know something."

As we interact, we move forward.

At that time, Kato's little voice, "Ah", inadvertently reached his ear.

It's a little voice that only I can hear.

Something sounded like I noticed.

I was a little concerned, but by then the leading Dora had arrived in the shadows.

"... this is"

Kudo's twinkle reached my ear.

It contained faint surprises.

I also redirected my attention away for a moment.

And I was stiff to the sight I saw.

Kato in his arms also found that he saw the same thing and stretched his body.

Anyway it was rolling there......

"Well, this was unexpected."

Kudo, who walked over to the body, crouched in and said in an interesting tone.

The body was rolling with massive amounts of blood and organs.

It's been a little while since you died, and although there's blood smudge, the blood itself is clotted and blackened.

The face lying on his back was greatly ugly distorted by fear and anger.

It was a running phase of fear, but Kudo never even broke his laugh.

As much as this, I guess I can't stand one wave in the Demon King's heart.

Touching the blood and checking on the clotting, Kudo said.

"Surprised. No way." Same metastasizer as us. "

That's right.

The body that was rolling belonged to the metastasizer.

But that wasn't the only thing that surprised me.

"Hey, do you know him?

You felt something, Kudo looked back at this one.

"... oh"

For a moment, the word to return was delayed, not just because I was confused, but because I didn't know what emotions to have.

But I can't stay perplexed forever.

As I sighed, I threw out the intricate thoughts in my chest.

"... this is Okazaki."

"Okazaki?"

That's Kudo's expression, too, stained with surprise.

"So this is the 'all-purpose vessel'?

"Yes."

It's incredible, but you can't deny the reality in front of you.

The culprit who caused this incident.

Okazaki, who brought us here on a transfer, was rolling into the aisle as an unbroken body.

"But what does this mean?"

The confusion that sprang up was enormous, just thinking of it as someone to turn to for maximum vigilance.

Having fewer enemies is supposed to be reassuring material, but disgusting stands first.

"How could this guy be dying here...?

"Have you ever heard of Mr. Rose and his men fighting?"

Kato asked, so I shook my neck to the side.

"I can't say I never will, but maybe I haven't gotten here yet."

"Because there was some trouble with the collaborators."

The following possibilities are then presented:

I frowned lightly.

"I can't say it's not..."

Given Okazaki's character, it wasn't impossible.

Nevertheless, it is also uncomfortable to kill the collaborators because of it.

Maybe that's all that happened......

"It could be simpler."

And where I was thinking, Kudo pinched his mouth.

"Perhaps the 'all-purpose vessel' should have been weakened because of the inadvertent use of the 'Fairy Wheel'. Besides, what if, like us, Okazaki himself was thrown out somewhere other than his destination?

Kudo shrugged his shoulder.

"I don't have company around, I'm not in a state where I can fight. Isn't this place too convenient?"

"... No way"

I knew right away what you were trying to say.

Kudo nodded as I cramped my cheeks.

"Okazaki Minato has weakened so much that he can't fight it, didn't he get hit by the monster here"

"It's..."

Out of the question.

Should I say graveyard or deserve it?

However, it could have been a sufficient development.

"No. Nevertheless, I don't know enough to fight monsters..."

"Even with cheats, you'll die if you fight a bunch of monsters alone poorly. I've seen so many people like that."

Saying something convincing, Kudo put his hands on Okazaki's body.

"At any rate, let's do some more research. You might know something."

Start stripping clothes unconstructively.

I don't even care about the body, but there's nothing I can do to say that to Kudo.

Besides, autopsy was necessary.

I decided to keep an eye on him, but it took me a while to wait for Kudo's behavior from the unexpected.

"... O king. Please wait."

Dora raised her voice.

At first, I wondered if she blamed the deed.

But it wasn't.

Because her eyes looked at the end of the aisle and her arms had already turned into shadow swords.

"Something's coming."

Even while I was here, it was a warning I heard several times.

Come to think of it, there was more to it than Okazaki's body was rolling here - it could still be nearby, whether it was a person, a monster.

So Dora's sense of enemy proximity here wasn't weird.

However, all this time things were a little different.

Dora's voice had a color of vigilance that had never existed before.

The expression was terribly harsh and strained.

What made her do that?

The answer to the question was quickly obtained.

"... what is that?"

There was a shadow coming this way.

Big.

My back rubbed all over the high aisle ceiling.

My body is swollen on my breasts, like an overweight pig.

Such a meat-lumped giant was supported by many wire-like legs.

Physiological disgust caused goosebumps.

I just saw the silhouette yet, but even then there was a sense of heterogeneity that made me nauseous.

That's different.

Something's off.

Everyone in this room must have felt the same thing.

In that regard, Dora was decisive.

"… Coming"

Without stopping her movement with fear, she moved as before.

That is, she was the first to slash in with high melee capability.

In the meantime Kudo prepares the magic and I turn to the guard's defense.

Most of all, it often ended when Dora first launched the attack.

But that didn't happen all this time.

"Hmm!?

Dora ran through the aisle and cut into a giant that seemed unresponsive - at that moment, one of her long arms was swept away.

"Oh......!

An unexpected attack of speed from the giant bounced Dora's body.

The velocity itself may have been at a level that could react, but it was an abiotic, disgusting move with no preliminary motion at all.

The wall where Dora's body was tapped collapses.

That's how we set the interruptors aside, and the enemy proceeded further this way.

"... ahhh"

Ringing, is it?

My spine popped because it also sounded like people groaning.

But no way.

That should be possible.

"Ma... no, Ro..."

Sounds like there was resentment.

Its giant approaches to the point where it can even be seen in a person's eyes.

"Ji... well..."

Suddenly, I looked up at the monster.

There, it had a head so small that it felt funny compared to a giant.

- The human head.

The shaken blonde hair is badly dirty.

The face that was originally righteous was out of a person's realm as a result of being distorted by hatred.

How innocuous it was to have both eyes crushed by the deep lacerations that traversed it.

"Seriously... well..."

The voice - there is no doubt that it is the voice of another person anymore - was what its head was emitting.

The nausea I felt in the back of my throat was no longer overwhelming.

"No way, you are."

Impossible.

There must be no.

But that face...

"- Travis-Mortimer!?

"Seriously...... ahhhhhhhhh!

A man, formerly captain of the Cathedral Knights Unit IV, roared in an unusual manner.
