Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Lesson 581: The Shameful Man
The first time Nil launched an attack on Rox, Nil had taken something out of his hip bag before he jumped out.
To be precise, it would be more correct to describe it as hanging from a hip bag than it was taking it out.
The thread of the thread spider is thin and invisible. Besides, Nil ran straight ahead toward Rox so that the drooping thread was not visible to Rox. I used my body as a cover so that the dangling thread would not be visible to Rox.
It was a reckless assault from the front, and Nil was passing the fruit and thread to me. Of course, if I handed it over, Rox would have found out, and if I had picked up the thread spider's thread that had been dropped, Rox would have noticed.
To prevent that from happening, Nilu forced herself to hate herself, moving around in front of Rox.
In the meantime, I took the thread of the thread spider out of sight of Rox and wrapped it around the handle of the cherry blossom sword. And when I attacked Rox, Nil wrapped a thread spider stretching from her hip bag around her shield. All you have to do is pull me and change my trajectory in the air, so Nil and I can just wrap the thread of the thread spider around it properly.
That's all I can do to avoid being noticed while I'm not attacking Rox.
The problem was that the thread of the thread spider was not so thin as to be invisible to Rox. Since the indoor became outdoor due to the magic of the wind-cutting feathers, the sun shines firmly on it, so it is highly likely that it will be revealed by the reflection of the light.
However, during morning training, various trials and mistakes are made to create a visually-visible and painful condition. That said, the method itself is very simple, as it is used once through the mucus of color slime.
Color slime mucus is assimilated to the color of the background like a chameleon and can't be seen, but it will dry out and peel off immediately, so you can't prepare it in advance. Therefore, drop the thread of the thread spider into a jar containing coloured slime mucus and set it so that only the thread can be pulled out. When I used it, I dropped the thread so that I could use it immediately. In principle, it is a ramen to drink at Japanese festivals. It is made with reference to the mechanism for dropping the marbles.
That said, I haven't had the time to take the time to produce it carefully lately, so the structure is easy and I couldn't make anything that intensive. However, as long as they were effective, they were held by me and Nil one by one.
As a result, the thread of the thread spider became hard to catch in Rox's eyes and was not found out.
The thread spider's thread is sharp. If you grab it with your bare hands and pull it, it will tear the meat, so you can't use it without wrapping it around a shield or a sword. But if you even clear it, you can pull me as hard as Nil can because of its high strength.
Of course, I thought about wrapping the thread spider thread directly on Rox himself, and if I could, it would be good to attack him, but if I tried to attack with the thread spider thread, it would cause a distortion of movement.
Unlike slashing, if you don't hook the thread on the opponent, it won't be effective. Apart from the slashing, you need to hook the thread separately.
I had no confidence that I would not be noticed by Rox, and if I did something uncomfortable, Rox would definitely have noticed.
In the first place, this method was considered to be used against the opponent who had more strength than us.
The fact that my body moves sideways like magic in the air does not affect the opponent in any way. It wasn't an attack, it didn't rob the target of his sight, and it was just that I made unexpected moves in the air. That's what happens when you get the timing wrong.
However, it has the advantage that it is difficult for the opponent to be noticed. Since it does not act directly on the opponent, it is impossible to notice the thread first if you do not carefully observe it.
However, there is a condition that if you don't do just that, it will be difficult even to create a chance.
If the opponent is inferior to us, there is no need to take such a troublesome method to deceive the opponent.
And when it comes to that level of opponent, there is no doubt that it is the opponent who can read a certain amount of things from our movements. Therefore, I risked my life not directly interfering with the opponent's coordination skills, but simply changing the orbit in the air.
It seemed that Rox hadn't thought about taking such reckless measures and not attacking Rox directly, so he swung up the battle axe with all his might and took it off.
However, in order for me to launch an effective attack on Rox as I move sideways through the air, I will need to land and then jump into Rox.
Of course, if you do such a long thing, Rox will have time to prepare for my attack, but he'll have room to fire another blow.
If that happens, Nil and I will just show off our light work. Of course, Nil and I don't end up working together.
Gah!
I was moving sideways in the air, and Nil was approaching me. I kicked my feet out into the air at the shield in my hand.
Nil uses her shield to change my trajectory from side to side, and then forcibly changes my trajectory in the opposite direction. When that happens, I was trying to get away from Rox, and suddenly he was coming, and Rox was going to be attacked by me before he could get his defensive position.
Giggle!
You can't defend yourself against my attack with a long axe.
So Rox splits the axe and twists his body to make it to my attack.
The Rox face I saw at that time was sneery, but I was definitely laughing.
Haaa!
"Ohhhh!"
Gee! Gulp!
A second, full force attack.
I knew very well that slashing in the air wouldn't work. However, as with jumping into an opponent, if you approach at a faster speed, that amount of power will be increased. That's why I trusted Nil and kicked the shield in.
Whether in the air or in the air, if you kick the shield that Nil holds firmly, you can move your weight just like you kick the ground. The process of landing and stepping out was completed in one breath by adding the force of Nil.
Rox tries to catch my incoming attack with a split axe, but his posture is completely unprepared and he can't withstand my attack. Unlike me, I have my feet on the ground, but my posture is bad and I can't get my strength in.
That's why my sword pushes back the axe that Rox tried to defend.
Even so, with almost the power of my upper body, I could resist my attack and withstand Rox at the very last minute.
As if Rox's posture was bad, I could not put more force into Nil's shield at the stage of kicking, so my strength was reversed. And in that state, my body flows to Rox's side.
A cherry blossom sword that passes through the surface of the battle axe as it scatters sparks. The blade runs a few millimeters in front of Rox's throat, but I can't hurt him.
"Ahhhh!"
Bush!
The attack has failed… but it is unacceptable.
I ignore the empty hole in my left arm and twist and rotate my body in the air.
Perhaps the bleeding could not be stopped in time because of the movement that was too intense. Blood spurted from the shoulder mouth, but if it is not decided here, there will be no next time.
"Huh?!"
Gah! Shh!
I slid my cherry blossom sword toward Rox, rubbing it hard.
The pushed blade scrapes the surfaces of Rox's two weapons and reaches Rox's throat.
Gi-jin!
"Grrrr!"
Indeed, the blade I released reached Rox's throat.
I was able to cut my skin and bleed, and I was injured by a brilliant blow.
But... it wasn't an immediate death level injury.
I released my attack in a very aggressive manner and let Rox reach the blade, but that recoil... I didn't fall in a landing position because I twisted my body in the air, but in such a way that I was struck on the floor from the back.
Rox's injuries were enough to kill him, but he still had time to shoot and shake his weapon.
And if that time is left, even before he dies, Rox will shake his weapon at me.
"Ugh!"
After my attack leaves, Rox falls to the floor and tries to shake off the attack against me.
I don't have the skills to fight back.
Shh!!
"Ugh...... but......"
But... before she attacked me, Nil jammed up, thrusting a bullet at Rox and piercing him in the back of his head.
* giggle *
I fall on my back on the floor, looking at Rox with my weapon up.
Rox closes his eyelids when he makes eye contact with me.
Gasha!!
When Rox fell to the floor in front of him, he couldn't move.
No one loses the will to fight even if they slit their throat. To really be a bandit... it was too much of a pity.
If Rox had stood by our side, he might have fought alongside us in the coming Holy Knights' War. No... that's definitely what happened. That being said, it's no shame that the extra talent called Rox has been lost here.
That, and what I've said, doesn't change anything...
"...... Guhaha......"
Fighting such a man was tough.
I was about to wake up, knocked my body to the floor, and exhaled a lot.
Master!!
Nil will be tired, and at the same time as he confirms Rox's death, he will come running to me.
"I'm just a little out of my mind... I'm fine"
No!
Shouting from me, Nil.
"I'll treat you right away, so show me your left arm!"
She didn't cry, but she bled a lot from the wound because she was a little impotent during the last attack and defense.
It seems that you have focused too much on the fight and forgotten the pain. When you see the blood flowing out of your arms, the pain returns.
Nil-san! Use this!
Suratan, who rushes from behind, hands Nil a white cloth or something that he already prepared, and treats it with tears.
It was a fairly overwhelming battle, and everyone seemed to be worried about it. Heine and Pilte were watching the scene of the treatment worriedly while keeping an eye on their surroundings.
"...... This is the end of the first treatment."
After Nil finishes the treatment and rolls up the blanket, she tells me that she feels relieved.
"Thank you. I'll help you.!!"
I tried to stroke the head of Nil who treated me, but the pain ran on my left arm and stopped my body from moving.
"I did the treatment, but it didn't heal!" Please don't move too much! "
Nil said with an angry, sad, worried... unsure expression.
"I-I 'm sorry..."
Nil knows that there weren't many solutions available in that situation, and that it wasn't a bad decision in the end... That's why I didn't ask you not to force me as usual, but I would like to say that there is no change in what worries me.
"It's true... even if you were forced to stop the bleeding with a slime, it wouldn't even be a first aid. Even if it was a deceptive treatment, you would understand it, right?"
There is no doubt that I was able to shake the sword thanks to Surakitan, but it was just a hemostasis, not a treatment. I knew that if I moved hard, the wound would get bigger.
If at that time I couldn't force myself into attacking Rox, Rox wouldn't have thought of attacking me in time to die, and he might have noticed and dealt with the impending Nil.
When she realized that she was under a lethal attack, Nil was desperately trying to launch an attack on me, so she could approach unnoticed. I mean, that's all I had to do at the time.
However, Surakutan is also saying that because he knows that. Still, if our people are forced to do something, we should say something. Sura Tan will pay attention to what I've done. That's because Surakutan is worried about me, so I should apologize honestly.
“I'm sorry.”
If I hadn't done something impossible over there, it would have been worse. Maybe everyone understands that, but if I simply forgive the impossibility by saying that, then the entire movement of the party would be a movement that allows impossible movements.
Apart from whether it was the right decision or not, Surakutan once tightened it so that it would not be easy to tolerate imposition.
It is the role of fellow members of the same party to extract the thoughts behind it. Apologize honestly and bow your head.
First of all, it looks like the injury wasn't that bad, and since it's in the middle of the enemy area, why don't you leave it there?
Heine gave me the boat at the right time, and this story is going to flow.
”But... going forward in this state is quite dangerous, isn't it?”
I have a hole in my left arm, and Surakitan, Heine, and Pilté can't participate in the battle.
I can fight for a while, but fighting with all my might will expand my wounds even further. If the wounds get bigger, the stones won't touch my body. I've already lost quite a lot of blood, so if it suddenly falls due to blood loss, that's the worst thing that can happen.
"As for me, I think it's okay to pull once." It seems to be a good situation to say that the Hunters' Rabai itself has already been destroyed, and even if a man named Barabanta is alive, what can we do in this situation? "
"... yes. If you're injured and you force yourself in, you'll know that your child is dangerous." Let's pull it out for now. ”
In the battle with Rox, we were pretty exhausted, and we were close to defeating him. I know it's not a bad decision to pull here, and honestly, when I defeated Rox, I thought I should.
When I opened my mouth to respond, I thought I would do the same.
Ladies and gentlemen.
One of the ninjas appears behind us where it came from.
I had a bad feeling, but I had no choice but not to listen.
What's the matter?
"... the inhabitants of this city who would have been captured... have been taken away."
”You were taken out... so that means you ran away...”
"... yes. Someone thought to be the enemy has brought them out to threaten the inhabitants, so... they're probably hostages."
I thought it was very strange that the city's residents who had been captured at the corners were being confined to a position where they could be handed over lightly, but... I didn't know that there were other people who were still captured...
"Did you have any requests?"
"Yes... that's..."
What's the matter?
When I urged Shinobi, who seemed to be in a good mood, to stay ahead of the conversation.....
”On the condition that Lord Cynthia comes alone, we will liberate the residents...”
"" "" What?!!! "" "
Well… I think it's a fair decision, honestly.
I have received reports of battles so far, and the blow that destroyed the castle suggests that I am the most troublesome person on the battlefield.
After slaughtering enemies and cutting down nearly half of them, the Hunters' Rarabaiba castle was overwhelmed with a single blow, driving them to ruin. It can be said to be a natural way of thinking.
If I... if I have a hand that says the lives of the inhabitants that we will listen to, it's only natural that you chop it to kill me, because it's dangerous.
If you could kill me... and then the bandits could get away with it...
"Master! No!"
Predicting what I'm going to say, Nil comes first with a word to stop.
"Cynthia! You can't do that!" No matter how much Shinya-san, there's no chance of winning by herself in this situation! Besides, I don't know if the hostages will really be released! "
The reason I was forced into this city was because they used the lives of their inhabitants to lure us in. At that time, there was no guarantee that the hostages would be returned alive. But... we got in here.
"... what will happen to the inhabitants if I don't leave?"
It's no good!
Even though I know the answer, I question the ninja.
Nil tries to stop it. You're already looking at me with a tearful face, but I'm using my gaze to encourage you to talk.
"... there have already been several casualties..." In addition, there are many women and children among the captured residents.... "
"The crowds..."
