A black leather coat that hung down to the ankles and gloves to match, with sturdy black plate armor resting on his shoulders. Additionally a thick cloth was wrapped around his neck. Although the most notable characteristics was, what appeared to be a large kitchen knife elongated to match his frame of nearly two meters. (6.5 feet)
“The great and glorious me, is excited to try out the decapitator. So tell me….. Hey! What the fuck is this! Why are my cute pets dead!? August! What is going on here!?”
“I-it wasn’t me! I-I didn’t do it! It was them! Those adventurers that Boris hired! They did it!”
“Adventurers?”
He turned his head towards us, his mouth popping open as he glared at me. However he soon turned the glare onto Sierra. After that Toa, his eyes passed over Nem without apparent hostility. I thought he may have been attempting to sense the magic power coming from us.
“It was you wasn’t it?”
His gaze had returned to Toa. Toa had a stronger magic power than Sierra? However, this was no time to find out.
“Don’t ignore me! The one who killed my pet was you wasn’t it!”
At that I stepped forward.
“What do you want?!”
I didn’t reply, there’s no point to this conversation. At any rate, this guy starts swinging his sword around.
“Hehehehehe, sorry Boris, but I’ll have you die here today.”
Hiding in this man’s shadow, August laughed as if he had nothing to fear.
“If you hadn’t hired adventurers I would have left you alive, I intended to pay you properly for the land. I wasn’t even going to do anything bad. Just build a nice mansion overlooking the village, and live out my days there. What do you think, that’s the best life for a merchant isn’t it? However, since it’s turned out like this, it can’t be helped. ”
I don’t know what relationship Boris and this merchant had, probably not a good one; but somehow he looked sad.
” August, two of these guys look kind of strong. I trust you won’t be stingy with the reward? ”
He’s probably talking about Toa and Sierra, his eyes hadn’t strayed from them since earlier.
“Please relax, I do not fool around when it comes to the exchange of money. If you kill them all I will double the initial price we agreed upon. Once I have this land, running out of money will be the least of my concerns.”
“You’re not lying to me right?”
“Of course, however if you don’t kill them I won’t pay you.”
“Who do you think you’re talking to? I am his wonderfulness Gordon!”
With an arrogant attitude this man who called himself Gordon, lowered the giant sword to the ground.
“So who wants to die first, anyone is fine, choose for me.”
As he said this his eyes never left the two girls. Meaning, he was totally sure that I was weak. I have no idea what level of magic power he’s capable of sensing but it’s clear he felt nothing from me.
” I’ll do it. ”
” Huh? ”
For a second I doubted my own ears, Toa stepped forward with a bullheaded look. I don’t think the idiot with the dead basilisk pets liked it either, Toa appeared to not be afraid at all.
“Are you going to be ok all alone? You ladies can do this together.”
“In that case.”
“Sierra?!”
Sierra stepped forward as well, her sword already out of its scabbard.
“Hahaha, it looks like tonight is going to be fun! After I cut your legs off I’ll kill the three behind you, then once I get the reward money; I’ll show the two of you to my room at the Inn.”
The two girls seem motivated, but I had decided. I won’t let this filth get close to them.
” Masamune, stay out of this. I’ll take care of it. ”
Where did the scared little Toa I first met run off too?
” Masamune-dono please stand back. ”
At that Gordon turned a sharp gaze on me.
“I don’t like it.”
“Huh?”
“I said I don’t like it. You being served by these women like it’s obvious they should do so.”
“….”
“Why don’t you go ahead and die.”
However, as Gordon laughed the girls stepped out together. Toa brandished a broadsword and Sierra held her rapier, they rushed at Gordon who had yet to raise his sword. Surprisingly, the sound of sword against sword rand out around the farm.
” You ladies move fast. Did you come over to play with me?”
Using the flat of his blade, Gordon had stopped both swords at the same time.
“Well that didn’t do much.”
Toa laughed as she locked eyes with Sierra.
“[Lightning]!”
At Toa’s invocation a yellow circle appeared around Gordon’s feet, with a thunderous roar the bolt of lightning fell, striking him.
“Guaaaaaah!”
Steam rose from Gordon’s charred, blackened body.
“TOA-DONO!”
“FUCK YOU!”
Gordon, his expression twisted in rage swung his sword, ‘The decapitator’.
However, it seemed Toa’s magic had an effect, Gordon’s breathing was heavy his shoulders heaving with the effort. The two girls separated from him.
“Haa….. Haa…. Your magic power is impressive, there aren’t many who could compare.”
It seems I was correct, a demon’s magic power is completely different when compared to a human. Regardless, Gordon appeared to have just been struck by lightning, he should be on the verge of dying.
” Nem is gunna fight too! Nem wants to help them! ”
Behind me Nem raised her arms in the air and issues a “Shya shya” with her mouth as she extended her claws.
“Wait here and leave it to those two.”
“……… OK”
Nem sounded dejected, but there’s no way a little girl could do anything to that giant of a man.
“[Berserk]!”
With the angry shout still ringing in our ears a purple colored magic circle appeared around Gordon’s feet.
“Darkness attribute magic?!”
Sierra appeared upset at this, but on the other hand a smile and floated its way onto Toa’s face. Regardless magic with the darkness attribute is troublesome.
“As a white knight you know how dangerous this magic is right?”
“I think there’s been a misunderstanding.”
“The expression on your face says otherwise. It’s not something to hide, Boris Week of Week Farm and the King of Razhausen. Even I know about their relationship. He’s a peaceful king but when a friend is in trouble there is no way he’d send simple adventurers, now is there! ”
The magic circle rose from his feet moving up his torso enveloping Gordon in a purple aura.
” That… Looks dangerous. ”
” You don’t talk boy! I was talking to the white knight here. ”
” Toa-dono, I’ll go first. ”
Gordon’s gaze moved away from me as Sierra dashed forward.
“Sierra!”
As Toa shouted a warning the rapier made contact with Gordon.
“Wha!?”
And in that moment, what Toa had been worried about became clear. As the blade made contact the blade didn’t pierce Gordon but instead bent and just like that snapped. It should be impossible for a humans skin to be harder than the blade but the magic he used made it so.
“It appears you don’t know about this magic. *
Gordon smiled evilly preparing to attack Sierra with his right arm.
” Like this I am invincible! Physical attacks have no effect, but don’t think that means magic will work. Gordon is invincible! ”
At that moment.
“[Lightning Speed]!”
Toa disappeared.
Her after images could be seen approaching Gordon as she chanted.
” [Lightning phase]! ”
In the next moment Toa appeared between Gordon and Sierra.
Gordon had a dumbfounded look on his face. Facing him Toa swung the broadsword with a cool expression.
“Gahah!”
A large amount of blood flowed from Gordon’s neck.
“Thank you Toa-dono you saved me.”
“Consider it thanks for giving us a place to stay.”
Gordon could be seen in the background, the the electric shock of the broad sword finally left his body and he fell to the ground.
“I see, you probably could have taken out that kerane without me.”
“Humans and a kerane are completely different. This guy couldn’t nullify magic so I was able to take him.”
“But that’s not something a normal adventurer could do, that’s high grade movement magic. Toa-dono what in the world.”
“I’m just a novice adventurer.”
“You should join the white knights! *
” That’s great, but first we should get Toa back to her hometown safely. ”
Behind them Gordon appeared again. He looked more monster than human, a cunning smile on his face.
” Reincarnation! The true secret of this magic!”
They both turned back at the voice but they weren’t in time.
” [Cursed Spear]! ”
A black spear appeared in Gordon’s hand as he pierced forward.
I was on the verge of using [soul break]. However Gordon’s expression was unsightly his eyes locked on the girls.
“[Erosion wave] !”
The Red black wave enveloped my body. I trampled the ground as I passed through the girls with [God Speed]. When I came into contact with Gordon not even his voice was heard, it was if I simply just passed by.
When I stopped and looked back there was nothing there as the announcement of defeat rang in my head. August stood next to the barn his face cramped.
“You want this to happen to you too?”
I pointed the snake sword at him.
“Absolutely not! I’m terribly sorry! I’ll never do this again, please spare me! Please let me go!”
“Borris, what should we do with this guy?”
Borris seemed surprised that I would ask. He slowly calmed down but still maintained a worried expression.
“August, do I have your word you won’t get involved with anything here again? This is my home, passed down to me through the generations. I will not sell it to you.”
“Yes, yes I’m sorry….. I promise.”
August seemed in earnest.
A black leather coat that hung down to the ankles and gloves to match, with sturdy black plate armor resting on his shoulders. Additionally a thick cloth was wrapped around his neck. Although the most notable characteristics was, what appeared to be a large kitchen knife elongated to match his frame of nearly two meters. (6.5 feet)
