"Squad 11, Hobo Done Sita"
"11th Squad, move west. Join the 2nd team on the main street, then come under command."
"Squad four, three girls captured. This is Yoli Brigade Simas."
Copy that.
The office of the Duke's Castle.
The map of the city was spread out on the desk, and around the map, there were a number of telephonic magic items, called call marks (callers), like the plaque that had surprisingly written the spell.
The captain of each unit, Gool, has a call mark (Kohler), including a reserve, and reports the progress of the operation to Alastair, the commander.
Ghoul is an undead, also known as the 'Corpse Eater'.
I don't really attack people because I only eat corpse meat. It's a dear undead, but if I starve, I'll do enough to hunt people and wait to rot, and if I'm under Rene's orders, I'll do military action.
Only faint memories and intentions remain in their lifetime, and their personalities are wickedly screwed around, but only their intelligence is people-like.
Rene looked at this characteristic of 'having intelligence'. He handed out Ghoul as a platoon leader to lead Skeletons who only had enough brains to judge zombies and simple golems.
If it's true, I'd love to use Rich, but it's hard to get the numbers together because I have to use the sorcerer as a soul-by-soul ingredient.
If you're just intelligent, you can have a spiritual system undead, but it's a little inconvenient that you can't carry things around.
That's why the captain was a ghoul.
The Duke moves the pawn he puts on the map, while batching red on the compartment where the annihilation is complete.
Instructions were given accordingly if there was communication, and changes in the situation were added to the map.
Alastair, we've eliminated the threat in the report. Do you have any other information on our insurmountable enemies?
Rene's voice is heard from one of the call marks (Kohler), and Alastair responds with a respectful droop of his head, knowing that he is not visible to the other person.
"No. I thought that was probably the last time. We have troops engaged with adventurers, but to the extent they can be dealt with in the knight's undead."
'Okay.
... right there! Summon Thunder (Call Lightning):! '
Thunder blasts and some screams echo over the call mark (Kohler).
"How was it?
'Oh, never mind. I just killed him because I found a citizen who was running late.
The material I've acquired has been made undead on the spot and appropriately sent to the castle. If you see any troops, let them collect it. "
"Yes, sir."
"I'll just hang around and kill them as soon as I find them running late and hiding."
Several squares in the city are stacked with materials (gibberish) killed by the undead. Rene is circling around creating Corpse Soldiers (Creative Undead).
And if he discovered a hidden citizen with the power of emotional perception, he had killed appropriately in passing, turning those fit for soldiers into undead on the spot.
"… when it comes to fleeing, leaked citizens are starting to flee outside the city, but let's see this one. Do you want an empty unit to chase you?
'Oh hey, it's just a priority to clean up the city first...... hmm?
He noticed something, Rene.
'Wait a minute!
"Yes, sir."
I heard an explosion from across the call mark (Kohler).
"I don't want to put it on."
"Oh, oh..."
In a house half-destructed by Rene's magic.
Three women, who were running late and seemed to have been hiding by lurking their breath, looked at Rene with frightened eyes.
High-teen women with this and uncharacteristic town daughter look. Perhaps by Earth standards we should call it 'the girl', but here she is treated as already an adult, old enough for some people to be married.
Not that I'm family, but the atmosphere that I accidentally took him hidden in the same place. The chairs and desks were lined up to build a barricade indoors, but Rene gently lifted the table with his empty left hand and threw it behind him as he put his head over his neck.
"Hiya!
I scream like I could shove it in the back of my throat.
Rene observes the trembling women.
Physical stature is lean from average. I don't even want to go out of my way to undead it and hold it.
It is also inappropriate for Rene to depend on her age.
I mean, it doesn't help Rene in particular. It's a target you can kill.
"Please help…"
"Ahhh...... God, God, God"
"Please. Only life... only life!
A desperate beggar for life.
Shut up, I just thought.
I have my eyes turned to Rene... but unlike the rest of the undead, Rene looks beautiful, so I guess I'm hoping it won't make sense. Unfortunately, that's a big mistake. Because it is the culprit of this situation.
I can't think of any particular reason not to kill him. Wesara decided to crush it as a counterattack wolf smoke, as a show. Nothing. I don't need to kill everyone, but a lot of dead people would be better off.
All you have to do is chop it up with a cursed red blade. It's about time the three of us got along and it's two straight.
Kill pale and just +3 the kill score.
That's fine, it should be.
- Is that...? I wonder why. Not fun......
The red blade in Rene's hand, it didn't move.
I don't enjoy killing.
Why not?
Guilt or conscience? Such a thing no longer exists. In that living hell, it was taken away with dignity as a person.
Even before coming here, René has slaughtered innocent citizens, dozens of them from scratch.
I pierced and killed the milk drinker and his mother trying to hold it in and protect it. He stabbed and killed his father trying to protect his family and let that zombie kill his wife and daughter. I had no hesitation in killing the girl, who had no choice but to wait for the last moment with prayer in the hospital bed, without her body fading and fleeing.
There is no reason to consider only the women in front of us special.
-... yeah, I'm not.
Rene noticed.
- product (...) mi (...) heavy (...) na (...) and (...) ru (...).
As if, holding his breath and continuing to dive into the sea, the more Rene killed him, the less breathless he was.
You shouldn't have to breathe, but you feel your chest tightened.
It was, "Fear."
It was fear of being abandoned.
Rene doesn't have a real sense of repentance for murder or anything. He's a ruthless, unscrupulous avenger who can kill both sick old men and milk drinkers for a purpose.
But what would my kind mother think when she saw Rene's barbarity?
Deanna, who thought of Rene until the time of her death, would see Rene stained with blood in return and wonder what she would think.
I'm sure they both tried to stop René if he was alive.
That's not good yet. The revenge that turned the world against its enemies is something that originally transcended the understanding of ordinary people.
But what if. What if they abandon you as an unsaveable enemy?
What if I lost My Mother's Love?
'... that's lucky. I'm always looking at you.'
... Deanna's words were entwined in Rene as the Avenger as a curse, not salvation.
In that battle Rene thought she was just a girl.
- That sounds stupid. What am I thinking?
Your mother and Deanna are already dead. I don't even know if you're looking at me. Sometimes you get reincarnated at the moment you die, so you don't know if you still exist in this world?
Rene thought it was too ridiculous and childish a sentiment.
For those who are no longer here, René is trying to be a 'heroine of tragedy', not a 'monster that destroys everything'. I don't know if there is. I'm trying to protect the last line.
I don't even know where it's safe and where it's out from.
That's why I'm scared! The more I kill, the more terrified I am that I'm not corrupt.
Nothing, I didn't hesitate to kill Rene because I had feelings for him.
If I had time to calm my mind a little... yes, for example, if I had reunited with the women in front of me tomorrow, I would have chopped them up for nothing.
Three people who hold on and pray and tremble, and their gaze passes.
Kill them.
If I slash them, can I set them apart from childish sentiments and become a vengeance device that doesn't even care about good or evil or other kakelas?
Rene lowered her sword with her back teeth covered.
"... I'll ask you a question. Answer quickly and accurately.
Did you rejoice and bless Hilberto, the king's brother, when he seized the throne from King Elbert?
A woman who apparently guessed something about the word and René's appearance (for convenience, make it an ABC from left toward René) immediately corrected her residence and knelt with trembling. This is a tribute that civilians should take to the royal family.
And raised his voice.
"Princess! I do that and consider it impossible!!
When René was “Princess Rose of Grievances," he seemed to realize that he was, in other words, the daughter of Elbert the previous king. It seems that the noise and circumstances in Wang capital were properly communicated here as well.
B, who was flabbergasted to see what A had done, immediately swallowed up the matter and followed. Drop your head shaking with bees and your back teeth.
"I was thinking the same thing, princess!
I'm late and C kneels too. I thought I would say the same as AB, C shook but raised his face and put his hand on his chest and complained.
"Princess, no! These women were happy to talk about Hilberto's whereabouts! He also said 'I feel good' about the decapitated royalty!
"Ha!?
"Hey, what are you talking about!
AB turned pale on C's accusation.
"This is the guy who was delighted with that coup!
"No! I was just talking to these guys! It wasn't even in my mind..."
"Come on!
"Ahhh!
B assembled in C and punched him in the face with his fist. C also grabs his face back desperately.
"How can you just try to save one of yourself like that!
"Are you going to sell us!? You liar!
"Which one of you is a liar!!
As it was, the three beat Rene up at that exact spot and became a grasping brawl.
Rene suddenly feels like she's getting a headache and rubs the temples of her head in her left hand loose with her right hand.
"Er... I forgot to mention the first thing that matters. I can tell lies."
"" What... "
Leaving a grunt of despair, A and B's necks were dancing through the universe.
Out of the arm of the powerless B, C stays put.
"Oh, wow..."
"Hmm. I'm fine with this. I wonder if direct revenge means no cans."
Shaking the red blade gently, René checks his mental state.
There is no deficiency. It's not even painful. Rather fun.
Stare at C. This woman doesn't feel like slashing.... at least now after working plenty of atrocities.
"I'll allow you to escape. But remember. I will kill anyone like you, if I have to.
Understand that your survival here and now is just due to irrational luck.
... go quickly. Before I change my mind!
"Yes......!
When Rene snorted his chin (precisely when he moved the hand grabbing his neck that way), C stood up and ran to roll.
Rene, who dropped that back off, was discouraged by his own fuzziness.
For a reason, I could finally kill both of them.
Even though I was an anti-Hilberto, I missed the other one. This Wesara was going to crush it so badly that Rene made a track record of missing out on the citizens herself.
- I... what is it? With such a zama... I can't believe it's revenge...
It doesn't really reach the ideal image of a vengeful man. Weak, contradictory.
This is when I think I'm even suspicious that I can take revenge.
A flash came over Rene's head.
That ABC beating was an extra farce...
What if we could do that on a national scale?
- Yes... yes!
It's not all about killing them, so I can use these hands!
Negotiations and begging for life do not go through a monster that merely destroys everything indiscriminately. Then people will unite and try to defeat René.
But what if it isn't?
Rene took the call marks (callers) that had been put on hold and activated them.
"Alastair, there's no pursuit. I mean, you don't have to kill anyone who doesn't have a use for it anymore. Let those who flee flee flee. It would suffice if we had the track record and news of 'crushing the city'. Okay?"
"Yes, sir."
"And when I get back, it's an ops meeting. I've come up with a new operation to attack Wang Du. Specific steps to see if it is feasible. I have to decide everything while your head is safe, so thank you."
"Yes, sir."
Put the call mark (Kohler) back on hold and Rene forcibly laughs.
At some point, the limit limit for atrocities had been established. That would shackle you as a vengeful man.
But it's not like I can't kill you anymore. I just need to do it on holiday.
Plus...... sometimes there are operations that are only possible because there is a 'time not to kill'!
-... because this is my fight, is it going to be 'revenge'?
Half-fuckingly, Rene was forced to think positively.
Rene's battle can be 'revenge' rather than 'monstrous rage' because it is not a broken ruthless vengeance device, but because it is the work of a 'person' who fears being hated by his mother or his mother's replacement (Deanna).
Rene was a girl.
She was not a monster or a vengeance device, but a girl who mourned and fell in love with her mother.
"... Mother"
Porridge, words spilled out of his mouth, and a stiff Rene held his head with both hands and shook it.
"Wow! Nashi now! Nacina cinnasi!!"
Fortunately, the call mark (Kohler) was on hold, and there were no ghouls or runaway citizens nearby, and no one heard the words.
Rene breathes in relief, and looks up into the sky from inside the half-broken house.
The ones who took my mother, her life, everything from the weak girl, are still alive under this sky.
That's why...
- ………… fight!!
Magically smashed all over the place, the boulevard rolling with corpses and undead wreckage was quiet as desolation.
Rene doesn't know yet.
That this decision develops beyond the boundaries of mere manoeuvre and creates a renaissance that you (...) come (...) as an enemy to the world of men.
