And to despair

Wilfred’s arm is extended. Neferte cuts him down with his greatsword, and when he is almost caught, Justy backs him up with a spear and magic.

The process is repeated again and again, countless times.

“Haa, haa … there is no sharpness even if I slash it…!”

“The ability to regenerate…..is still a formidable foe!”

Neferte and Justy groaned in frustration, their shoulders rising and falling in exhaustion.

They were slashing at the mass of arms growing out of Wilfred’s body, but it didn’t seem to be doing any damage.

The severed arms grew back quickly and were as unresponsive as if they were mollusks.

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”

“I don’t like it … Please..stop…!”

“It hurts…… Mommy…… Help……”’

“Please don’t cut me again! Please, someone help me!”

The forest echoes with the lamentations released by the human faces that cover Wilfred’s body surface.

All the damage done by cutting off the arm was directed at them, the victims. Wilfred himself didn’t even feel the itch.

“Ku…!”

If Wilfred is not defeated, the people preyed upon by this giant will continue to suffer without ever being released.

He knows that clearly and Neferte was very guilty that his attack was afflicting the innocent victims.

One of Wilfred’s arms is quickly thrust into the gap while Neferte becomes absentminded.

“Look out!”

Justy slashes off the arm that is trying to grab Neferte.

Again the victim screams, but he doesn’t care, he attacks the arm and keeps Neferte safe.

“Don’t get lost in thought, Highness Neferte. If you stray on the battlefield, you will die.”

“Sir Justy……but these are our……!”

He noticed it

A human face on the surface of Wilfred’s body. And the countless arms growing out of his body. The owner of the arms belonged to a person who was attacked and eaten by Wilfred.

In other words, considering the situation from the resurrection of the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” to the present, the majority of them are citizens of the Kingdom of Athena.

“Why should we slay our own people: ……! Why should they suffer even after death, killed by the wicked witch’s apostle…..!”

“His Highness Neferte….”

Justy tried to offer words of comfort, but …… nothing came to mind and he fell silent.

It is not possible for a knight of the stoutest character to say anything clever and toothless. In addition, the fatigue from the long battle left him with little energy to think.

Justy takes a deep breath and squeezes out the words.

“…… is not your fault. You did nothing wrong.”

It was all Justy could say. That is the best he can say.

“You look very tired, don’t you? I think you’ve reached your limit”

Wilfred laughed mockingly at the sight of them breathing on each other’s shoulders.

Justy stepped forward to protect the dejected Neferte.

“……You’re making fun of us but you’re struggling, too, aren’t you? We haven’t even got a scratch on us yet.”

“I could have killed you if I wanted to, you know? But…..you’ve made me look like a fool.It is not enough to just kill. I’m going to ask you to become a part of my body. You will suffer in my body for eternity, along with the others here!”

“If you can do it, do it! We are not an easy enemy to be captured alive!”

The words were strong, but……they were 90% false.

In order to defeat Wilfred, they have to hit the giant’s body parts. But in order to do that, they have to get past the countless arms. The arms regenerate no matter how many times they slash them, so no matter how many times they attack, they will not diminish in number.

They did not have bows and arrows or throwing spears to attack from a distance. Justy’s earth magic attacks are no match for Wilfred, who has been blessed by the Witch of Earth.

Fatigue was slowly approaching its peak and the limit was just around the corner. It was only a matter of time before he was caught in the arms and eaten by the giant.

“I wish I could somehow get Highness Neferte out of there….but if I can’t, there’s only one thing I can do now….”

The only thing he could do was to kill himself before Wilfred could prey on him.

The only way to resist was to take one’s own life before being eaten and absorbed by the giants, so that one’s soul could escape to the underworld.

“Sir Justy….”

Neferte, who is behind Justy, calls out with a haggard voice. He, too, must be aware of their impending doom.

“I’m sorry, …………, Your Highness Neferte.”

Justy gripped his spear in a hesitant …… decision.

The last resort was first to pierce Neferte’s neck, then to stab himself and commit suicide.

He had no choice but to make that painful choice in order to avoid being taken in by Wilfred.

But before Justy could make up his mind to act, Wilfred made his move.

The slightest hesitation changes the fate of both men.

“Having a hard time? Ahahahahahahahahahahaha, That’s not possible..Stuppppidd…”

“Nu …!?”

Suddenly, something strange happens to the ground.

Before Justy could get out of the way with Neferte, the ground split open and countless arms sprouted from it.

Hands sprouting from the ground surround them, grabbing at their arms, legs, clothes and equipment until there is no escape.

“Uwaaa! Where did these guys come from…..”

“Gunuu, Don’t tell me you’ve passed through the ground!”

Neferte screamed, and Justy’s expression was also distorted.

If they look closely, they can see that of the numerous arms growing out of Wilfred’s body, the tip of the arm that is attached to the ground is buried in the ground.

Anyone can guess, that arm was creeping through the ground at their feet, looking for the right moment to surprise them.

“I’ve got it! Ahahahaha! Ahahahahaha.Frustrated? It’s frustrating, isn’t it? You were trying so hard to resist, but were caught so easily!”

Wilfred lets out a loud laugh.

Justy tried to shake off the arms, but he was stuck in the grip of dozens of arms. The spear he was holding was also taken from him.

It is no longer possible to commit suicide in this situation. It’s like a fish on a chopping block. Wilfred had all the power of life and death in his hands.

“Aaaa…!”

A little further away, Neferte was also trapped.

He was also deprived of his greatsword and was frozen in a look of despair.

He must have been flailing about with ridiculous monstrous strength just a moment ago, but his limbs are weak and his heart is completely broken.

“Now….which one shall I eat first? Normally I’d swallow you whole, but you’re special and I’m going to tear you limb from limb and take my time with you. You’ve annoyed me so much that you deserve a good spanking.”

“Kh…..for not realising that I’ve been taken by surprise. All is lost…”

Justy gritted his teeth and groaned, closing his eyes in resignation.

“….. you can kill me. I’m ready.”

“Sir Justy? What are you talking about ……!”

“I told you. I owe the life of His Highness the Neferte to His Highness Raidorl…….I will not live longer than you.”

To Neferte’s dismay, Justy tells him in a matter of fact tone.

He stares at Wilfred, who has a big, amused grin plastered on his face, and says arrogantly.

“This is Justy Oigist. From the moment I picked up my spear and became a warrior, I readied to give my life for loyalty! Whatever tortures I may be subjected to, I will not let out a single cry! If I were to be tortured by a scoundrel like you, I do not think my heart would be broken in the least!”

“Heeee…..you’ve got some cool things to say. If you provoke me like that, I want to torture you as much as I can.”

Wilfred raises his eyebrows in slight displeasure and tightens his grip on Justy’s neck with one of his arms.

“Uguh…..”

“If you want to die so badly, I’ll kill you first, as you wish. I’m so kind, I’ll even grant the wishes of my enemies!”

“Go ahead……Don’t think I’m going to……make a sound…!”

“You don’t have to tell me what to do! I’ll take all the time I need to take care of you!”

“………..”

Justy knew he had succeeded in his intentions when Wilfred shouted sadistically. There is no longer any escape from the clutches from the giant.

Then…..he dared to provoke Wilfred into hurting him, and to buy time for Raidorl to rush to the scene.

Raidorl is also fighting an enemy of the same rank as Wilfred. No matter how quickly he overthrew the enemy, it would be more than half a day before he came to this place.

“But if it’s……his highness Raidorl, he might even be able to bend the rules.”

Justy decides to gamble on a silver lining.

Wilfred would not kill Justy until he cried out and begged for forgiveness. He would take his time and torture him.

If Justy could continue to endure, perhaps Neferte would be spared.

“I’m done here. At least I will help His Highness Neferte….. and this is the last loyalty I can give……!”

“Okay. Well then, let’s get started!”

“Hmm..!”

A low thud sounded.

Justy clenched his teeth and fought to keep his voice from escaping as he realised that it was the sound of his left arm being broken.
