「Ahh, are you still going to continue this dull story? If this takes too long, how am I supposed to help Elena or Ara?」
「-!? ……Therefore, I beg you! That guy, betraying Elena-sama’s trust and shamelessly betraying the Mireana Kingdom, my home country……」
「……I understand. You can sleep for now.」 With those words, he struck the tip of the spear with the handle of the Death Scythe from below. With Rei’s inhuman strength and the Death Scythe that weighed over 100kg, even Kuust, who was one of the leading spearmen serving under Duke Kerebel, couldn’t keep hold of the magic spear with his grip strength. The magic spear was knocked up and pierced into the ceiling. And from that posture, Rei made one turn and and stabbed the handle of the Death Scythe into Kuust’s belly, which was still covered by armour.…… Bang~! With a sound that humans shouldn’t have been able to make, Kuust was blown away. The body of the full plate mail had completely shattered from the point blank impact of the handle of the Death Scythe. Fragments of the armour scattered all over the floor. 「Gah~!」 As expected, the attack was intense. Though he gave a groan, Kuust had lost consciousness as he was blown away. For a moment, Rei thought about whether he had actually fainted or not like the first time he attacked Vel. However, Kuust had given his life away for this, Rei couldn’t miss the opportunity provided by someone who begged him even though Kuust hated him. He dashed towards Vel who was looking at him with his usual smile. 「Haah!」 He struck with a shout. It came down on Vel with a speed, sharpness and power as if would split s.p.a.ce…… 「Bad luck!」 At Vel’s mocking words, what Rei felt in his hands was not the feeling of cutting through flesh or crus.h.i.+ng bones. It was as if he was crus.h.i.+ng metal or stone. 「A Golem, what?」 Rei unconsciously muttered out what he thought it was as he cut it down. Yes, the thing that had caught the Death Scythe’s attack on Vel was a Golem that had appeared from nowhere. No, it hadn’t been from nowhere. The place the Golem had actually appeared from had been reflected in Rei’s eyes clearly. It had appeared from a pouch at Vel’s waist. 「Ah, were you surprised? Did it surprise you? You never thought that I had a spatial pouch did you? I see, well normally speaking, it’s not something that you could buy with the a.s.sets of a viscount family.」
TLN: I was going to use bag of holding but decided against it, the spatial pouch works the same way though. For a moment, Rei glanced at Elena, who had fainted in front of the Altar of Inheritance. On her waist, the spatial pouch that he had seen last night was still there. 「Hm? Oh, I’m sorry. This is my pouch, it’s not like I took away Elena’s」
「……The Bestir Empire, is it.」
「Oh, so you understood.」
「Well, you betrayed the Mireana Kingdom, your home country and turned to the Bestir Empire. Considering past events, the Bestir Empire also has a high level of technology in alchemy. That giant mantis like chimera is a good example.」
「Great answer! The Bestir Empire is comparable to the Magic City Osus if you were to consider alchemy alone. ……Well, it still costs a lot of money to make a spatial pouch though. Even then, the storage capacity of my pouch is also quite small compared to Elena’s.」
「It’s looks to be so.」 Rei muttered as he looked at the Golem he had just cut through. Before him was a small Golem, the size of a Goblin. The Golem had been split into right and left halves by the Death Scythe and had fallen on the spot. (From what Elena told me, although it’s a spatial pouch, the s.p.a.ce inside can only be expanded by 1 to 2 tatami at most. In that case, a big Golem can’t be placed inside. In fact, the one that blocked the Death Scythe was only the size of a Goblin. That means he shouldn’t have any more! Most of the tricks he’s kept have surprised me. Because of that, I should keep the initiative in combat.) As he thought, he reflexively swung the Death Scythe when he saw something move in his peripheral vision. He cut off a tentacle that stretched out from Vel’s pocket. 「Don’t think that such a level of attacks can hurt me!」 With a big swing of the Death Scythe, he tore apart several tentacles that were growing out. Although they were made with alchemy, they couldn’t do much to block the magic empowered Death Scythe. However…… 「Whoops, as expected of Rei. You’re definitely A rank if you consider combat power alone.」 Despite the tentacles being cut away as soon as they grew out, Vel still smiled as usual. However, the next moment, his smile changed from an amused smile to a grin, like that of a child who had succeeded in a prank. 「However……can you only pay attention to me?」
「-!?」 Vel’s gaze. Realising who Vel was looking at, Rei used the Death Scythe’s handle to parry all the tentacles that were about to strike him as he leapt backwards. The tentacles grew again but Rei’s physical abilities were greater and they grasped the air. At the end of his look was the figure of Elena, who had fainted and collapsed on the ground. ……And a familiar Golem was heading towards her. It was the little Golem that had protected Vel from Rei’s Death Scythe a little earlier. Though its head should have been destroyed by the Death Scythe, the Golem slowly but surely went closer to Elena. The reason the Golem still staggered forward, in addition to its head being destroyed, may have been the huge sword in its hands. No, it was just because the Golem was small that the sword looked big. Yes. It was an ordinary long sword that could kill people by stabbing or slas.h.i.+ng them.
TLN: Yes, this Golem is the one that was cut in half. No, I don’t know why it’s in one piece and only its head was destroyed. 「When did that happen!」 Rei dashed forward. However, the Golem had already raised its long sword and was swinging it down at the neck of the fainted Elena…… (d.a.m.n, I won’t make it!?) He took out a dagger from the Misty Ring and tried to throw it at the Golem, but its sword had already swung down.…… 「Guh!」 A voice of agony rang out at the same time as the sound of the sword piercing into flesh. But the voice wasn’t Elena’s as Rei had expected it to be. It was a deeper voice. Consciously ignoring the pained voice, Rei threw the dagger, which flew forward through the air and pierced into the body of the Golem. At the same time, the Golem was smashed into the wall as it was pierced through by the dagger and fell onto the stone floor like a broken toy. What Rei saw after destroying the Golem was the figure of Kuust, who had already been seriously injured by Rei’s previous attack. The sword had gone through him, up to mid blade. However, thanks to Kuust’s interception, the sword now stood in the stone floor and not in Elena. 「Kuust!」 Rei shouted out unintentionally. Previously, his attack had blown Kuust away. Struck by the Death Scythe, an extremely powerful magic item, wielded with Rei’s strength, it was an attack that even shattered plate mail. He shouldn’t have been able to protect himself against it. 「Guh, w-what……are you doing. Vel……kill him!」 At those words, which Kuust spoke out as blood literally flowed out his mouth, Rei bit his lips before turning to Vel. 「d.a.m.n it, doing such a worthless thing like protecting your friends with your body.」
「Magic s.h.i.+eld!」 Rei used the Death Scythe’s skill Magic s.h.i.+eld. The next moment, a s.h.i.+eld of light formed and rose next to Rei. 「It seems you have no more tricks left!」
「That may be true, yes, yes, but it won’t be so easy.」 Rei dashed forward and narrowed the distance as he poured magic power into the Death Scythe. Several daggers were thrown at Rei but he evaded most of them with minimal movements. 「Things like a tearjerker story are not so popular right now!」 As the distance shrank, tentacles stretched out towards Rei from Vel’s pocket. If any of those sharp tips pierced into Rei, they would immediately grow out barbs. However…… 「A nuisance!」 Slash-! With a shout, the Death Scythe tore through all the tentacles. 「d.a.m.n!」 Indeed, Vel judged that situation was dangerous. He threw some sort of gla.s.s bottle that he took out from his waist pouch as he jumped back. The bottle drew an arc as it flew towards Rei…… 「That’s naive!」 Swapping the Death Scythe to his left hand, he caught the bottle with his right hand and quickly threw it back at Vel. 「Eh?」 Vel hadn’t realised what had happened. Letting out a confused voice, he tried to avoid the bottle as soon as he realised that it had been thrown back…… Gashan~! A tentacle stretched out from Vel’s pocket and intercepted the gla.s.s bottle. Yes, the tentacles extending from Vel’s pocket were made with alchemy and had the property of automatically intercepting any attacks made against him. Even if the attack was from a sword, spear or a big scythe like the Death Scythe. ……Even if it was a gla.s.s bottle, what it would do wouldn’t change. In other words, using its sharp edge, it shattered the gla.s.s bottle heading towards Vel. If it had been an ordinary gla.s.s bottle, it might have just fallen to the floor without breaking. But the one Vel had thrown was deliberately made fragile. What Vel was most astonished about was the fact that Rei had caught the gla.s.s bottle without breaking it.
TLN: What kind of gla.s.s bottle wouldn’t break after being hit by a razor tentacle and falling to a stone floor? I have no idea. The gla.s.s bottle shattered, meaning that the liquid that was inside fell onto Vel. 「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!」 Covered in the liquid that was inside the gla.s.s bottle, Vel screamed as he held his face. Rei swung the Death Scythe down at that moment, but when he saw Vel’s horribly melted face, his shock made him s.h.i.+ft the Death Scythe slightly……and instead of slas.h.i.+ng the body, Rei cut off Vel’s left arm from the shoulder.
