The Branded Female Fencer

Gwendorf was alone in the swamp, relieved. Serpent's body with no neck to top in front of him. The turbulence spreads a sea of blood over the dirty marshes. Gwendorf had no way of knowing what had happened.

"What the hell... happened to this?

"Shall I tell you?

Doom shows up. To a ghostly opponent who appeared without a sign from behind, Gwendorf realized he was terribly alert. If they were attacking me now, I might have taken it unconditionally.

Gwendorf confronted Doom, hiding his disappointment and anger.

"You're an evil spirit serving Orangeables. What do you want?"

"There's a little bit of a narrative about serving. I don't want to serve you and I'm not going to serve you in the first place. Do you know we're forced to obey in spiritual bondage?

"Whatever, otherwise I can't explain it. I had noticed when I first met him, and the Orange Bull originally did so by shredding the enemy's willingness with mental manipulation, even when defeating the enemy. I disagreed, but excelled in terms of not engaging in the dispute itself"

"(Shit, this guy...)"

I thought you knew that and didn't do anything, so I thought it was something to make you go inside. If I hadn't noticed it from the beginning and pointed it out, I guess Alphilis wouldn't have had to struggle as much. But Gwendorf didn't point out brainwashing the first time. It could not be denied that if you suggested the possibility of brainwashing on that occasion, it would have been a hell of a mess, but the settlement was likely on. And how many could survive before the dispute between the angry true dragon leader and the serious high elf leader? Gwendorf did not make that choice, even if it had been reduced by half, the number of victims would have been reduced since then.

I thought Doom should choose his words carefully, but the very fact that he turned up after all is a bet. I couldn't pull back after now.

"If you know, it's quick to talk. I solved some of the brainwashing on the Orange Bull. But the Orange Bull hasn't noticed yet, and if it is enlightened, it will be brainwashed again. But the black magician is in a state of collapse. Now there's no one to protect the Orange Bull."

"Tell me that. What are you gonna do?

"I can kill the Orange Bull now. I can't do it, but you can."

Doom went on an out-of-the-box bet. This is not the action that was planned. I couldn't even read Gwendorf's thoughts. If you buy Gwendorf's unhappiness, you can't deny the possibility of being killed either. There is no guarantee anywhere that I can stand the braces I was told would blow up the city in one breath.

But to see the look on Gwendorf's face, I just knew I felt lost. Gwendorf tends to be confused.

"Such an invitation, do you think I'll ride? Assuming he's my best friend."

"That's why my best friend destroyed the True Dragon, and now he's killed Sarpent again? From the outset, Oranzeble had allowed Anomaly to develop an Xperion that could only kill True Dragon. Same goes for Serpent. He gave us a write-off order."

"So you killed Serpent."

"Even I have to take orders. If you defy them, they'll kill you, or you'll just be a doll living in spiritual restraint. Even Brady Maria doesn't have the means to defy magic. Because it was only a coincidence that the restraint was broken. It's just a coincidence that I was able to defeat the Serpent. Even we want to fight true dragons. But if I listen to him any more, I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm wasting my life here, too. Oh, I don't exactly have a life because I'm an evil spirit.

But now I know where the Orange Bull is. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. And it's your destiny to be here. Whatever his plan is, you should kill him already. So this continent's gonna be his problem, huh? Why don't I show you how to get rid of him?

Doom spinned the words as he mixed the lies. Of course I killed Serpent arbitrarily, and I know what the Orange Bull plans are. I was going to look at Gwendorf's reaction and see how far Gwendorf understood it.

As for Doom, there are separate plans to kill Oranzeble. But the plan involves danger. If Gwendorf would kill Oranzebul, I thought I'd never done it.

But Gwendorf's reaction was unexpected.
