knight who endured such a blow, started to sway violently.
“Run!”
“Eh!”
Enri endured the pain and started to run——then suddenly she felt a burning sensation on her
back.
“——Wuuu!”
“You damn bitch!”
After being hit in the head by a simple village girl, the knight flew into a rage.
He had lost his calm and was wildly swinging his sword around. As a result he was unable to cut
Enri down, but next time she wouldn’t be so lucky. Because Enri was injured and the knight was
raging, the next strike would definitely be fatal.
Enri looked at the sword raised high in front of her, shining in the light, and understood two
things.
First, they would both be killed in a few seconds. Second, as an ordinary village girl, there was
no way to resist.
The sword’s tip was covered in a bit of her blood. That sight made her feel her own heartbeat,
the pain from her back spreading through her body and the burning sensation of when she was
cut.
Having never experienced this sort of pain before caused her to feel fear and she felt like
vomiting.
Perhaps vomiting could dissipate the feeling of fear.
But Enri was looking for ways to survive, there was no time to waste throwing up.
Although in her heart she wanted to despair, Enri had a reason for not giving up. That was the
feeling of warmth next to her chest——her younger sister.
At least my sister must live.
This one thought made Enri choose not to give up.
However, right in front of her stood a knight, mocking her determination.
Lifting his sword high, getting ready to swing the sword down.
It could have been her concentrating too much, or that the life or death situation made her mind
go into overdrive, Enri felt time slow down as she thought of ways to save her sister.
But she couldn’t think of a good solution. The most she could think of was to use her own body
as a shield, and while the sword pierced her body, her sister could use that time to run away,
that would be the last resort.
As long as she had strength left, no matter who pierced her, she wouldn’t let go until the fire of
her life burned out.
If that happened, then she would accept that fate.
Enri felt like a martyr and showed a smile.
This was the only thing that she could do for her sister. This thought made Enri smile.
She was unsure if her sister alone would be able to escape this hell.
Even if she fled into the forest, she could encounter patrolling soldiers. But as long as she could
survive this, there was a chance that she would be able to escape. Just for the chance for her
sister to live, Enri bet her life——no she bet her everything she had.
Even so, being scared of the incoming pain, she could not help but close her eyes. In the world
of darkness, she mentally prepared herself for her imminent death───
Battle of Carne Village Part 3
Momonga sat on a chair, facing a mirror. The mirror was about 1 meter high and instead of
showing his reflection, it had the image of a grassland. The mirror was like a television, showing
the scene of an unknown prairie.
The grass swayed in the mirror, proving that it wasn’t just a stil image.
As time passed, the sun rose, driving away the darkness shrouding the grasslands. The
picturesque charm of the rustic countryside was a huge difference as compared to the gloomy
despair of Hel Heim, where Nazarick was previously located in.
Momonga pointed to the mirror and gently waved to the right. The scene reflected in the mirror
quickly changed.
Remote Viewing Lens.
For Player Killers (PK) or Player Killer Killers (PKK), this item that could display the location of players would be invaluable. However, if the players just use some low level anti-search magic,
they could easily hide beyond sight. Not only that, it would be easy to receive an attack while
using it, so the mirror was actually a very balanced item.
But with this, one could easily see the outside scenery and for the current situation this was a
very useful tool.
Admiring the grasslands like watching a movie, the scenery in the mirror was constantly
changing.
“I can change the images by waving my hand, then with that I should be able to view different
angles of the same place.”
Momonga drew a circle in the air, the view of the the scenery changed. Although he kept on
changing the view in the mirror using hand gestures, hoping to find people, he was unable to
find any signs of intelligent life——preferably humans.
He continued doing this monotonous job, but the only things reflected on the mirror after every
change were more grasslands. After watching for so long, he felt bored, and thus looked at the
only other person in the room.
“Anything wrong Momonga-sama? If you require anything please do not hesitate to tell me.”
“No, it’s nothing, Sebastian.”
The other person in the room, Sebastian, showed a smile, but his previous sentence actually
had another meaning. Although Sebastian is bound to absolutely obey any order, the fact that
Momonga did not bring his entourage made Sebastian feel a bit unhappy.
After coming back from above ground, Sebastian lectured him.
“Wel , he does have a point…”
Momonga spoke out what was in his heart.
When he was with Sebastian, he was reminded of his previous guild member, Touch Me-san.
He was the one who designed Sebastian after all.
But he didn’t have to design Sebastian to look exactly like him, even his angry look was just as
scary.
After silently complaining, Momonga once again looked at the mirror.
Momonga thought about teaching the technique of manipulating the mirror to Demiurge. This
was in regards to what he told Demiurge previously, about an idea to improve the security
network.
Although it would’ve been easier to give this responsibility to a subordinate, Momonga still felt
like he should do this personally. Actually he had another motive, it was that he wanted his
subordinates to see him hard at work and admire him. So he definitely cannot let boredom
cause him to quit halfway. And the reason why wasn’t he looking at things from a higher angle...
if only there was a manual——With a bitter expression, Momonga continued the boring task of
experimenting with the mirror.
An unknown amount of time passed.
It could have been a short time, but if there were no results, one could only feel that time was
being wasted.
With an empty expression, Momonga randomly gestured, suddenly the scene grew bigger.
“Oh!”
Surprise, joy, pride, with those emotions Momonga exclaimed. After a long time of making
random hand gestures, finally the images changed according to his will. Like a group of
programmers that had just finished eight hours of overtime, Momonga cheered.
In response to his cheers, sounds of applause could be heard. That sound obviously came from
Sebastian.
“Congratulations, Momonga-sama. Truly admirable!”
After going through much trial and error and finally getting a result, would not necessarily be
worth such praise. Momonga was thinking in this way, but after seeing Sebastian’s happy
expression, he frankly accepted his praise.
“Thank you, Sebastian, but for you to accompany for this long, I apologise.”
