Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave
Episode 233: Dragon Killer
Tina is at the deepest end of the complex field of alchemy and use demon technology called Homncrus. He gave various explanations, took Ellis' questions, and was thrilled with Claudia's questions that followed.
"Well done. You asked! Thanks to your lord and kite for this!
"Ha! Thank you!
"Ah? Me?
Claudia, who knows about the part Tina appreciates toward herself, knelt down and incomprehensible Kite leaned her neck.
"Mm-hmm. Originally, I made it extremely difficult because of the complexity of my soul, the incomprehensibility of the manufacturing principles of my flesh, etc.... See, Tine said it before, didn't he? Claudia got the devil's egg.
"Oh, was it in the auction inside the elf a long time ago?
"Yes, because I thought we were in good shape to celebrate the return of the Demon King.
It seems that Claudia, who remembered the time, is about to trip again with a look of glory. But on the verge of remembering that the questioner was himself, he came back. Exactly that degree of common sense was justified.
"He brought it in for me. That brought considerable progress to the study of the soul. If at least a little less soul than a human, it could be created as an egg of a demon using as long as it had the ingredients. Nevertheless, I can hardly be allowed to have feelings, which leaves me in an even worse state.
"Materials?"
"Mm-hmm. In theory, it's a super high quality demon stone in the body fluids, such as the blood of a high-ranking being. Using demon stones, a mass of magic, as a medium to produce simulated demon eggs, using the data from which the personality is based as a nucleus. In this way, the influence of the original person will be somewhat.
"Hey, you're not using me, are you?
Exactly. I don't feel good about Kite being made his own clone-like user demon either. Moreover, it would be disproportionate if it were to be influenced by kite.
"I'm just using it. Because these three split the Egg of the Demon of Use brought about by Claudia, and created three Eggs of the Demon of Simulated Use based on it.
"I see. So you divided it into three types?
I got a point, that's what Kite sees the three homunculus. If the Big Book is a single demon egg, there will naturally be a slight difference between the copy and the original egg part. Tina spotted it and gave it arms, etc. in each of her areas of expertise.
"That's not what I meant.
"So, thanks to me, what?
"This is not strictly due to the Lord. Thanks to Earth's science and technology. The rest of you can almost understand the atomic theory that the Lord once said. Naturally, because the basics didn't exist that far in the cochlear world.
"Sorry about that.
Kite scratches her cheeks, looking just a little flashy. As far as I can tell, Kate also taught Tina that at the time of the transfer, Kate was a junior high school student, and not exceptionally smart, but reasonably, to an extent. There was no way that those without basic knowledge could have been taught that difficult atomic theory, etc.
"It is not so despicable. I don't know how to do it. So the Lord would have brought the rest back to Earth and given you the opportunity to acquire all sorts of knowledge? That's why I owe it to the Lord. And one of them was... this.
That being said, what Tina took out was a book detailing the human body. It's one of the items I brought back from Earth. Written scientifically and chemically, the book detailed what structure, what substances the human body consisted of, to what extent it contained, and what it meant.
"I was given this before, and nitrogen, oxygen, is hydrogen... you have no idea what it is.
As the words showed, not only Tsubaki and Ellis, but even Claudia, who had considerable magical knowledge as Tina's assistant, looked incomprehensible.
"Until now, I have tried to create the flesh of Homunculus by using the flesh of the surgeon and culturing it. Then...... it is the flesh of the surgeon, not the flesh of the homunculus. I guess that's why I had a rejection and my soul didn't settle down. So what could be done was a failure. No soul, unspeakable wreckage or a beast without intelligence... that's not the result. If you are an immature man, in harsh terms, there are times when a monster without intelligence can only be called a failure.
Tsubaki gives that word a slightly damaged look. Apparently, it overlapped with being abandoned for failures and failures. That said, the one and only concentrating on Tina's words, no one noticed it.
"So what I came up with was creating the flesh that was in my soul from scratch. Because there are materials. Later, he applied alchemy and slowly created a flesh that allowed his soul to settle.
Tina sounds easy, but naturally it's not easy. If we distract ourselves at all and the soul strips away from the flesh, the flesh becomes a mere vessel without the soul, and if we rush to make the body, we will now have a rejection. I've been busy here for the time being because, for one thing, I was up to it.
"And these three are the ones who can do it. Exactly, I can call it perfect. The rest of the aggregation.
Tina speaks so proudly. There was pride in just one area.
"Right...... but you're not mentally mature yet, are you?
"Uhm. All the mental aspects, because we can't hurry. That said, it's the original demon egg. Let's establish the spirit at a much faster pace.
"Okay. Then if you decide that it would be better to engage with a large number of people, let's allow them in and out of the Adventure Department.
"Right, smart.
With the help of Kate, Tina shows her gratitude. Thus, after several further consultations, the day opened.
"Hmm... Homunculus. Is he staying in for the final adjustment today?
That night, Kite in the bath sat on a bed in a private room in a rare, no-one's guild home. Most of them are Kuzha after work, Yuri, Tina, etc., but no one is here today. The cherry blossoms sometimes visit, but they weren't all in the guild home today.
"Kuzha and Yuri are scouting the royal family, Stella is reporting on the status of that organization, and Cherry Blossom stays at the school with seniors at the second tournament meeting. Mizuki and Meizumi were their escorts.
Having said that and remembering the current situation of each member, Kite fell asleep just a little lonely. There's usually only kite in the bed where someone is, and only kite's voice sounds in the room. As for Kite, who was accustomed to noisy situations, he remembered only a little bit of loneliness.
"... Exactly, you can't call me that.
How much I miss you, so I don't look too good to call the demons. And I didn't know what to expect. That's how Kite smiled bitterly, and decided to stay asleep. Thus, when I tried to meditate my eyes, the door was knocked.
"It's open.
"Dear Hall, may I have a moment?
It was the two orange infarcts and the stroke who came in that way. The two had come together with a fairly large parcel and were struggling only a little when they came in.
"Your grandfather sent me your luggage. According to the letter, it's the great sword ahead.
"Oh well. That's Grandpa. Thank you both.
To thank the two, Kite receives a large package and a letter addressed to Kite from both of them. And after reading the letter, I opened the package. Coming out of the bag was a giant sword that was boneless yet beautiful and honestly combined with rigidity. Its appearance was different from that of a rectilinear double-edged sword that suddenly narrowed in the tip part that is now the mainstay of the Empire of Entesia, a large sword in the shape that slowly narrowed to the tip.
"You, too, are finally done.
That's what Kate says. Now she mourns her late friend. The orange infarct and stroke seemed a little hard to ask, so I asked.
"Um... if you don't mind, can you tell us your whereabouts? I know your grandfather and father, and it's about your museum, so I think it's a fairly famous sword, but it wasn't in any of the drawings.
"... well, okay.
Preceding that it was not a famous sword of another name, Kate began to speak.
"It's what my friend once had.
With that said, Kate meditates her eyes to remember the time just a little bit.
"When I was still traveling with Yuri, I was on different continents. Naturally, this includes the continent of Orcia, where civilization was discovered at the time. That's the sword I got there. Foolishly, it was created in a country that was contending with different races in such circumstances.
"Different continents... so different from the Enesian continent, huh?
Kite nods at the two people who ask Kite questions with that face.
"I guess. Exactly, you two would be more familiar there... well, to tell you a little bit more, this is made with the concept of dragon killing that the Dragons can use.
To the words, they opened their eyes and were surprised. When we saw it earlier, it didn't affect us in any way.
"Is that... is that okay? Tools that act on a particular species are equipped with the power that the object butchers the species. It will act on the handles without exception and will not take the life of the owner.
To the two explanations, Kate laid her eyes down just a little sad.
"Oh, it was a failure. The owner continued to be deprived of his life by this. I guess that was still good, for the guys up there.
The country to which the owner of this weapon belonged was no longer there when Kate came out on the surface stage, and Kate could not know the truth at the time. We couldn't get help from any organization for selling fights in all directions, and we were destroyed by the demon kings of our predecessors.
"... the owner of this weapon is an experiment. It had a dragon factor embedded in the human body. It takes immense strength to kill a dragon, but it cannot be helped by the Dragon clan. So they extracted the factors from the dragons they captured, embedded them in the human body, and tried to gain power. Nevertheless, they couldn't capture the mighty Dragon Clan. They substituted it with a dragon breed. Maybe he was going to extract the factor from the Dragon Clan later.
This is the conclusion I came up with thinking about the explanation I heard from its owners and its surroundings as a kite.
"Oh no..."
The two of them are utterly silent on Kate's words. Hosting the power of a dragon species in a normal human body with enormous power, albeit not nearly the dragon species, is like having a jet engine on a plane made of wood. If we do that, all we wait for later is to destroy ourselves without withstanding the enormous power.
No, before that. It was completely unknown what would happen if demonic factors were planted in people. Because the Ileaves are so inhumane in a different way than Homunculus, and no one is going to do it.
"I guess I was only thinking about the research sample, to that extent. The extent to which human beings who incorporate factors are affected and how weapons affect them. That's how he was sent to the front. That's when me and Yuri met.
That's how Kate remembers. The bearer of this weapon was a boy as bright as the light of the sun.
"Sure... you said 17 back in the year. He was bright enough for his own situation and trusted by his companions of the same age. When the war was over, let's all go on a journey, that's what I kept encouraging my people. Don't look at me like a brother. When I try to fight, I say it's up to me. Don't let the weak come out, man. I was stronger.
I remember the time, and Kate laughs bitterly. At the time, Kate was going to learn the art of killing dragons to avenge his fellow Fallen Dragons by being killed by Fallen Dragons, and participated in that battle as a mercenary. I don't know what the thought was, but Kite was sent to the front line.
"Nearly a month later, when the war intensified, they finally reached their limits. With the activation of the dragon factor, dragon scales appeared from all over the body, and furthermore, severe pain was running all over the body with the power of dragon killing. And finally, reason was scattered. Later, he merely followed the demands of his weapon and became a mad warrior who gradually attacked those with the dragon factor.
If we had fought like that, it would have probably been a complete demon, Kite speaking in memory of the time. That's how I took a breath and started talking again.
"So, when the enemy saw the damage as devastating and retreated, the next thing I knew I was pulling dragon blood at the time, I pointed a blade at me and my fellow experimenters. There were no more prospects. And how many were you... As my people fell and passed away, the blade was finally pointed at me too, and I became a fighter.
Everyone knew his character and couldn't give him all he could. Abandoned by the army, with no reinforcements, he could only flee or defend himself from the attack, and was slaughtered at his hand, where many of his companions ran wild.
"Was it when we fought for about 5 minutes? I don't know what happened, but his hands are dull. Later, a blade pierced his heart so that it could be inhaled naturally. I've never cursed the shallowness of my obsession with raw as I did then.
Kate speaks with a crying face with deep tears. I took care of my own people who were made again. The cry of Kate at that time was so profound that it could not be exhausted.
"Thanks, that's his last word. I don't know what you thought. You didn't think I wanted to kill any more of my people, thank you for saving me from the pain, thank you for being so close to me, or all of them... that's what Yuri and the survivors said to comfort me. And I'm sorry, too. I think I've given you a hard time being younger.
Bury this guy, that's the big sword that Kite entrusted me with, but Kite refused to do it. I didn't want to forget. And to take over his carelessness, we thought we'd travel together.
Thus, when he buried the bodies of him and his companions, Kate seized the bandage engraved with a sealed curse from the military warehouse and wrapped the sole around the sword to seal its power.
"After the burial of the dead guy, I escaped the army with the ones who survived. Because of the difference in purpose, I broke up and acted… Will rushed me when he formed the coalition. Some of them survived the war when I was flying the Duke's flag. Exactly. I'm already out of the front line... but some of them are still alive, farming and hunting at our place, and spending the rest of their lives.
Some of those who did human experiments on what happens when other interracial factors are embedded in interracial races were embedded with factors of longevity, and they were still alive. In addition, those who performed experiments at an early age on what other factors of the long-lived species would grow if embedded. Claw marks from various experiments still remain.
"So, I was just wondering. I asked my grandfather to complete it... just fine. It finished perfectly with no effect on the handles.
That's how he finally strokes the finished sword, and Kate laughs.
"That was the kind of weapon you had in mind...... thank you. Good night, then.
Within speaking, a considerable amount of time had passed, and the two left the room as it was. Apparently, I thought Kate was immersed in sentiment and left her alone.
"Oh, hey...... well, okay. Good night."
I guess I'll sleep with the two of them like this, that's what I was thinking, Kite, but since the two of them walked out of the room, the prospect collapsed and I felt lonely again, while I fell asleep in bed again.
