Tan!

First of all, Nil ran out to use the Qu Sword.

Even though I said I was aiming for a straight sword user, I dared to aim for a song sword user... because I have a similar mindset. For Nil, who is a slave, my existence is all about this world, it is not a metaphorical expression or anything, and for her, it is impossible to imagine a world without me.

A slave is a slave whose master is a slave, and it is basically impossible for a slave trader to have a slave that cannot be sold. Goods that sell are products, and products that only cost a living are only in the way of merchants.

The most important thing in the life of a slave is his master's life, almost equal to his own. When a master dies, a slave dies, which is almost impossible except in this kind of battle, but even if you think about it without it, it is extremely valuable to have a master who will let you live.

Like bandits, those who illegally create slaves and sell them on their own may be treated badly, but even though they bought slaves on purpose, there are few people with weird sexuality who use them just to shake and kill. Usually, it is a common way of treating slaves to let them do things like maids or carry luggage, to let them do physical labor instead, and to guarantee a minimum amount of clothes, food, and shelter. Therefore it is most natural for a slave to have a master who gives him enough to live without being killed. Now Nil is not going to be my slave, but my partner, but she is a slave, and the eyes of the world see slaves as slaves.

Nil herself is straightforward about the fact that she is a slave, and since she has been a slave for an overwhelmingly longer time than she has been since she met me, the feeling of being a slave does not disappear. Besides that, there are various things between me and Nil that are the source of the relationship of trust, so I can't say all of them, but reading my master's thoughts and thinking about things so as to conform to them as much as possible is like the art of living of slaves, and it is also a matter of course.

It would have been even more remarkable if it had been a life-threatening battle.

That's why I can figure out what Nil wants to do right away. I do what I'm trying to do, and naturally, I can do it right away. Recently, Nil has also started to think and act on her own, and there are unexpected movements, but it is my way of thinking that is the basis of all thinking, and there is no great deviation from it. In other words, I'm trying to do exactly the same thing as when I hit a man with a straight sword. The Straight Swordsman who had been caught once would have been wary, but even if he had been wary, he would have pulled him in irrelevantly.

"Don't slap me!"

Boom! Gin!

"Huh?!"

The man who used the Qujian sword attacked Nil, who was honestly closing the distance, and came forward with quite a strong spirit.

Nil charged straight at the man who was using the song sword so much that he felt he was being slapped. But even so, the blade swung down by the swordsman was covered by Nil's shield.

The Swordsman Qu, who couldn't break through Nil's defenses, was caught up in a dilemma.

When I was slammed and charged, I instantly kicked and swung my sword, so I couldn't get my body back up, and I couldn't take Nil's attack.

Even in a short amount of time, the place where you put in the movement that guides the other person's behavior is probably Rock Nil.

Haa!

In an attempt to protect such a song sword user man, the fine sword user directly beside him launched an attack on Nil.

Hah!

Gin!!

However, unfortunately, the attack was played by my Sakurazaki sword that appeared from behind. Now it's two against two, so when the man who used the Qujian sword became dangerous, just like the man who used the Fine Sword entered the cover, if Nil became dangerous, I would enter the cover.

The thin sword attack was aimed at Nil, and there was almost no power in it to cope with me. Therefore, the Fine Sword user's posture also collapsed greatly.

The first thing I aimed at was to pull out the man who was using the straight sword, but if I could just get rid of it, I'd be ten thousand years old. You don't have to miss a chance, so Nil and I will chase you both down.

Even though I was dealing with an opponent that I felt dangerous, Nil had only joined, and the situation had changed so drastically that I could turn into an offensive at once. That's how strong Nil became.

If Nil's defense had been broken through by the sword-using man, he would have stopped Nil before he pushed it in. But I knew Nil would definitely stop it. So I ran behind Nil without saying a word.

Nil's attack and defensive tech wasn't as flashy as I said. Many people are surprised at the height of their technology after actually launching an attack on Nil. In particular, the technology acquired on Ouka Island is all that is not known on the continental side. In the battlefield, people like Nil can only learn techniques like pushing back the strong and powerful men one after another in Ranka.

Therefore, even if the man who used the song sword in front of him had a lot of experience, he didn't have to deal with a completely new type of fighting style.

"Ugh!"

Nil struck out calmly against the disfigured swordsman.

I also swung my sword down against the Fine Swordsman.

Haha!

There, the Great Swordsman came for Nil, and the Straight Swordsman came for me.

Even if I knew they were inviting me, if I dropped the Swordsman Qu and the Fine Swordmaster here, their defeat would almost certainly be decided. To avoid that, they have to go in for cover. As planned, he managed to pull out a man who was using a straight sword.

Gaggin!

Boom!

The Great Swordsman swung down against Nil. Straight-edged swordsmen attack me sharply.

The timing of the two covers was perfect, and Nil and I weren't close to the Qu and the Fine Sword Users, and we were in a situation where we had to deal with the two who came into the cover.

Nil immediately gave up attacking the Swordsman, pulled his shield over his shoulder against the great sword that was swung down, and dived forward.

Since it is a movement at the timing of the paper, the sword user cannot change the trajectory of the attack, and the blade enters diagonally against the shield carried, and the blade slipped as if it were flowing.

A small shield is a small piece of armor that can blow up with the mass of the opponent's weapon if it is not handled well. Therefore, in the first place, I am often not good at weapons such as large battle axes, war horns, and great swords, and most of them are crushed without being able to receive them.

However, in the case of Nil, the mass is not very relevant because it is flushed rather than received. To be precise, Nil force is such a mass that it can't move at all... For example, a blow from a giant or an SS-ranked monster can't flow as much as Nil.

Therefore, it cannot be said that the mass is irrelevant... but if it is said at the level of the people we are dealing with now, it can be said that it is almost irrelevant.

There might have been a slight possibility for a stronger person like the Gigas, or a slight possibility for a type that would have confused Nil's reading. However, we have already dealt with the powerful Gigas' Ethanen and the Axe Warrior, who appears to have been a deceptive type. None of the remaining four could break through Nil's defenses.

No, even if I was there, Ranka would teach me how to fight that kind of opponent, and I wouldn't be able to slash down Nil with all sorts of drawers.

Absolute trust in Nil. It's already formed in me. When this happens, I don't feel like losing at all.

I also stopped the sword I was about to swing down and avoided the straight sword user's blow from the side half a step back.

Nil grabbed his big sword and tried to shove it out toward the empty flank.

”I'll let you ahhh!!”

"Huh?!"

Boom!!

In response to Nil's move aimed at the Great Swordmaster, the man who had regained his posture swung down his weapon from the side in an orbit that slashed down Nil's arm.

Nil pulls his hand back and starts attacking. But not all of Nil's attacks were stopped. At the same time that Nil was trying to protrude Zhanghua, he anticipated the sabotage coming in from the side, and he was thrusting his shield against the face of the Great Sword user.

Of course, the protruding shield is not in the plane, but in the form of protruding corners. It was a beating by a shield that I had seen several times... but it definitely hurt. It hurts when I just look at it. No, the aim is centered on the face, especially around the eyes and nose bridge, so it won't just hurt...

Bakkin! Gokkin!

"GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

After the sound of defensive magic flying, a painful sound resounded, and the cry of a great sword user was heard. It still seems to have hurt.

Shh!!

* giggle * * aaaaaaaa!!

Meanwhile, I'm going to take a good blow.

Avoiding the support of the straight sword user, I swung the sword I was about to swing down as compactly and quickly as possible into the arm of the straight sword user.

The timing of entering the cover-up was almost perfect, but the straight-edged man's sharpness had fallen slightly due to the wound he had received earlier. Because of that, I was attacked, not played, and I was able to avoid it.

When a man with a straight sword enters the cover, it's absolutely necessary to restrict my movements. That's because if you can't restrict your actions, you will receive the opponent's counterattack like this one.

And yet, he couldn't restrict my movements. Therefore, the result was to slash the right arm of the straight-edged man from above his elbow.

The Great Swordmaster screamed with his face held down. A straight-edged sword user who screamed while holding down his missing right arm.

It was the scream of the end of this battle.

Even the attack by the four of them could not bring me down, rendering one completely incapable of fighting and wounding the other. It would be impossible to start over from there.

”Shhhhhhhh!!”

The desperate swordsman attacked me with a horrifying expression.

Giggle!!

"Ngh!!"

However, the attack is easily parryed by Nil, who quickly stepped in front of me.

Gash!!

"But... ahh..."

* Giggle *...

My attacks, which I let loose at the counter, enter the throat of the Fine Swordman and inflict fatal injuries.

The Fine Swordsman collapsed from his knee and fell to his forehead.

All that remained were the Swordmaster Qu and the Great Swordmaster who endured the pain. At first, the straight sword user was alive, but he didn't even have a weapon, so I guess I couldn't do anything to him anymore.

"Shit, ahhhh!!"

With one eye closed, the Great Swordman tried to attack me and Nil at the same time while waving the Great Sword wide to the side. With the nose bridge and one eye crushed by Nil, I was still prepared to attack.

I was scared of the other person who was injured by my hand. Knowing that, Nil and I pulled back at the same time to avoid the Great Swordmaster's blow.

"" "" "" "OOOOOOOO!!

There, the soldiers around them move.

I haven't exchanged any words, but Nil immediately deals with the people around me, and I move to deal with the Great Swordsman.

With the big sword swung out, I pushed out my sword against the big sword user full of gaps. It wasn't a sword move, it was simply a blow aimed at a defenseless face.

Gash!!

"Gu............"

* Giggle *...

A cherry blossom sword pierced around her closed left eye.

As soon as he pulled out his sword, the opponent tried to swing the great sword at me again, but he could only move a few centimeters, and the man fell straight down.

"Master! Please leave the back to me!"

"Oh! Please!"

Yes!

Nil takes care of all the enemy soldiers coming from around her. Although it's only a matter of dealing with it alone, it's probably not the case on the battlefield that you can fight without worrying about your back.

The last ones left were the Qu Swordmaster and the Straight Swordmaster who had lost one arm.

For once, the man with the straight sword tightened his arm with his hand on the side and somehow stopped the bleeding, but in such a state, there was nothing left to do.

"Shit... you can't take this out anymore..."

The man with the straight sword looked at me with a face that was turning pale. He smiled bitterly and said such a thing.

"Oh no... it's all monsters that transfer people..."

………………

"Hey... can you just let Maina go...?"

The straight-edged swordsman who was about to fall, instead of himself, started begging for the life of a minor.

"Why do you have to go so far to shelter Maina? That's a bandit."

None of the slaves here, including the Straight Swordsman, are strong enough to fall into his category. People who could even make a living by their strength. I'm sure they're not slaves.

In other words, they were forced into slavery. Even if it wasn't a minor thing, the bandits were pretty much the ones who would do that. However, instead of resenting the bandit, I can't think of begging for life instead.

"... we... no, at least I've been saved since you came to me... please..."

It was not that I couldn't understand what the man with the straight sword was saying.

Mina is the head of a huge band of bandits called Puppets, and she's got a lot of power. It would have been enough for an ordinary bandit to fulfill a wish he couldn't fulfill.

If you were in such a position as a minor close friend, and you were in a position like an escort, you would have been able to live a decent life, even if you didn't say you were valued. For slaves, living such a life is another dream of dreams. It's only natural to feel saved.

There are only a handful of slaves like Nil who can live like ordinary people.

But... that's because, to tell you, I was liked by Maina, and I had to say that the treatment of the others was terrible.

Bombs in my body, drugged... it's a terrible thing to say anyway.

In itself, it might have been a barbaric act carried out by the people underneath, but it was also a minor that didn't stop it. I don't know if you gave instructions to do so, but at the time of not stopping, it is said that it is a sin that is no different from that.

As the man with the straight sword said, there may have been a few people who felt helped, but looking at it alone, I can't do what I think is a beautiful story anymore.

That's why my answer is....

"I can't. What I've done so far is unacceptable."

Besides, even if I forgive you, those around you who are parties will never forgive you. "

"...... I see......"

It would be too convenient for me to do something so big, to kill so many people, to forgive me more now, and to miss it. They already know that they won't be forgiven.

A man with a straight sword who once closed his eyelids and muttered a word.

”... ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

I lost my right arm and used a straight sword that I couldn't fight anymore.

However, he still picks up the falling weapon with his left arm and runs ready to die.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Just like that, the swordsman also ran out.

Haaa!

I wave my sword at the two men who are running in.

Sword moves, four claws.

The sword technique that emits a quadruple strike releases the first two strikes with a straight sword, and the second two strikes with a blade on both shoulders.

Bushwhhhhh!

"Shit..."

* Giggle * * Giggle *

The two blades never reached me, and I was fatally injured and fell at the same time.

It is not possible to judge whether his life begging with the straight sword is due to mind control, but it does not seem that a slave like him is worth enough to risk his life to protect, a woman named Mina.

I just... I can't dislike a man like him. When I saw him waving his sword for someone until the end of his life, I had a lot to think about.

Hence, the hatred for Mina swells just by the amount of his feelings.

I don't think it would be sane to deprive their bodies of their freedom as slaves and, in addition, to shackle them to their emotions.

But this time, I decided to leave it to Heine and the others. I push that hatred, and I see Heine and the others.

Nil!

"Yes! I will open the way!"

Seeing that I was done, Nil immediately turned to Heine and the others.

Heine and the others were wiping out the feint fog they had created in no time, and they were in quite a mess. Nearly all of the slaves who were trying to protect Maina were swarming with Heine.

"Please back off!"

Shh!!

”Gaaa!”

Nil slashed her enemies a little harder and headed toward Heine's place. I'll cover the back and follow.

"Heine! Are you okay?!"

”Hah... hah... yeah... it's okay...”

Heine responds with a complexion that doesn't seem to be alright at all.

There is also a scratch on my back, and I made it too hard.

"Leave the others to me and Nil!" Suratan! Protect Heine! ”

I'll take care of it!!
