The Branded Female Fencer
Battle of the Dark Forest, Part 11 - Returnees ① -
"Welcome home already?
"You're done with my errands. I'm sure you still have business to attend to."
"Well, I'm trying to figure out what to do. Well, I'm thinking about doing a reflection first. There's nothing good about this fight."
Lifeless sneaks ears at Doom for shrugging his shoulders.
"Don't blur, Doom. Your approach is foreseeable. I noticed, didn't I?
"About what?
"This forest has been strange from the start. That was not because the castle had been formed, but because the castle to be had been eroded by both dead spirits. You've been planting this for a long time, haven't you?
"Come on, what do you think?
"It's a good idea to blur. But I'm revising your ratings. You just have to make up for what's missing in the way you fight. It's okay to set a trap, it's okay to set it up in advance. At the stage of moving us, your value was determined."
"I'm being praised, a little bit?
"You don't have to be a little bit, you're right. Then..."
Lifeless tightened Doom's neck. Doom that will remain suspended by sudden events.
"Don't be alarmed. I became a man. If you act strangely, I or Titania will go out and wipe you out immediately. If you don't want to die, do your duty faithfully. Don't even think about doing something to us. This is the last time I'm gonna let you do this, okay?
"Ho, ho, ho. You got it."
Doom was suddenly let go of his hand and replied with a glare. It looks dark and glowing in the back, as I think it is in its eyes.
"Then you'll do me a favor if the conditions are right, not a measure?
"Isn't that an Orange Bull favor?
"Now it's my turn."
- You can listen to me for as long as you want.
Doom tries to do it, and Lifeless tries to leave. Blanche stood beside that doom. And when he saw Doom, he suddenly took out his claws, and slashed and tore his cheek.
"! What the fuck!
"Omae, lying quinonioisle! Watashinohanaha, sesame kasenai! Yea, nanita clandail!?
"You've got to be kidding me, you chicken-headed bearer! Make me regret it immediately."
Don't worry, Blanche.
Erlich retrieves Doom and his near-one-touch blanche between exquisite. Both Blanche, held beside him, and Doom, who was furious, were removed from between and pounded for a moment.
"Nanisle, Gee Tip!
"Don't argue with that, it's a waste of time. Then the king returns. Your Highness, we must accompany you at once. Doom, apologize for the disrespect."
Since Erlich simply lowered his head and moved away early enough from the scene, he should not do anything more as a doom or after him, only anger emotions remained.
Dortmund accompanies that Erlich.
"That was an excellent response for you."
"My liver's cold. The depth of Doom's obsession is not very measurable. If he sees me like that, he'll end up, until he dies, no, even if he dies, he'll chase me around. I don't want to set things up with such a guy, even if he's one of us. Maybe he's not one of us."
"? What do you mean?
Erlich spoke up even more and answered Dortmund's question.
"I imagine this, but Doom has probably not sworn allegiance to the Orange Bull. I don't even think of us as companions. No, that's not who you think you are with us, but nevertheless you take respect and a lot of attitude depending on your strength and strength.
But he doesn't even have it. Doom doesn't even have the minimum moderation to have on the battlefield. A guy like that definitely betrays me. No doubt about it because I'm the one. "
"... does that make you proud?
"I'm not proud of you, but it's a fact. Anyway, I used to be."
to Erlich's words. Dortmund glowed the eyes behind his helmet.
"Even now, isn't it? You were once a demon king known for that outrageous deed. I thought it was a ploy to serve my Lord, but I dared to throw it away until now. But this is also a good opportunity. Shall I ask what you mean?"
"... Hmm. I do have something on my mind, too. But I'm not willing to tell you that. The only thing I can say is that I'm not willing to betray you right now. At least not until Orangeable's plan is activated and we see the results."
"You're telling me to trust that?
"You don't have to trust me or anything. You just have to listen to the lifeless. Because I don't have the power to do this to you. You shouldn't have that power in the first place."
"Well said. During the earlier battles, you would have tried to rot the ground and seal Calevan's ability to regenerate, wouldn't you? Is that your magic?"
"That's the place, but a little different. Because you know my magic, I couldn't make the trick in the earlier battle. It's like I didn't do anything."
Dortmund thought it was strange. I certainly don't feel much power from Erlich. If I wanted to kill him, I would be able to defeat him without any great struggle on this occasion right now.
But once, this demon king was known as one of the most powerful demon kings on the continent. I feel that it is not commensurate with my current power. I don't think it's because of my strength.
Dortmund rode into a lifeless prepared ceremonial beast, not neat. Why I miss Blanche too, after being quiet at Ellich's, I slept round my lifeless knee. To that strange sight, Titania was throwing an interesting gaze.
