“Randall .Yes, it was him ”
Randall?
Come to think of it, Aiba had mentioned that name a while ago.
“Rebel, who is Randall?”
“He’s one of the leaders of the Knights. He’s quite skilled, and he’s probably been chosen as a member of the advance team.”
A member of the advance team?
“But why did he tell Aiba ? He certainly was an odd one, but no, more importantly, how did he find a loophole in the system?”
“I don’t know that either. But he was talking to some other people besides me. However, I don’t think there was anyone like me who wanted to abandon their humanity and slip into this world .”
“There are no benefits. It’s also a big risk However, there are exceptions, such as you, and we should consider searching for them while preparing for their arrival ”
In the midst of this feeling of being left behind, I raised my hand nervously.
“So, in other words, you’re not planning to be our enemy, is that correct?”
Aiba held out his hand to me.
I tried to shake his hand, but
“Well, for now, I believe you. Be grateful, Iver.”
Rebel, who had interrupted from the side, took his hand instead.
“” ””
“What? Why are you both looking so sensitive?”
Read the room.
I think Aiba and I were probably thinking the same thing.
“Haah, but I’m relieved. To be honest, I was prepared to be killed the moment I met you.”
“So you wanted to meet Rebel even though you could have been killed .?”
“Yes, I did. My actions were also an insult to her and to that person. I had to fulfill my responsibility.”
He said he was going to kill all the people in this world, but then he easily turned around and wanted to see Rebel, even though she might have killed him.
–Basically, his actions are full of contradictions.
I somehow felt that I understood the true nature of this person’s unpredictability.
“Then, Kudou, take the girls to your base-!”
Suddenly, Aiba clutched his chest and began to struggle for breath.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“It’s no problem. It will go away soon. Ever since I turned into this, my body has been in bad shape .”
“Is it possible for an undead person to be in bad shape?”
I turned to Rebel, she nodded her head as well.
Then, this time, an explosion sounded from the campsite.
“ !? What, what is it?”
When I turned my eyes towards the campsite, I saw that a monster was charging towards the campsite, tearing down the trees.
Was that a Metal Lizard?
Wasn’t there just one?
No, more importantly, why did it appear so suddenly?
There was no response from the ‘Danger Perception’.
“Rebel!”
“Yeah, no problem. I can take care of that little fish in a second. Kazuto, dodge!”
She shouted frantically.
I felt a chill run down my spine.
I reflexively guarded my face with my right arm.
The next moment, I was blown away.
I was slammed into a tree and felt a sharp pain in my back.
“Ugh ”
What a tremendous impact.
If I hadn’t guarded myself with my right arm – or more accurately, with my clothes-mimicking Aka, I might have been in trouble.
What the hell happened?
It’s as if I was ‘hit’ by something .
I look at the place where I was a moment ago.
There was the thing that had punched me.
For a moment, I was stunned beyond reason.
Why are ‘you’ there?
You should have been dead a long time ago.
“This is a joke, right ?”
I wo
uld never forget it.
It was my first trauma, the symbol of my fear.
“ High Orc.”
When he saw me, he laughed.
He seemed to be truly enjoying himself.
It was as if he was happy to see me again.
“Uwaa!”
The ‘scream’, reverberated through the air.
CH 208
Every cell in my body is trembling.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I can’t shake the cold sensation creeping up my back.
My instincts and skills are ringing the alarm bell with all their might.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that cry.
I’ll never forget it I’ll never be able to forget it.
It’s my trauma, my deadliest monster.
“oo!”
With a cry, the High Orc leapt forward.
With the sun at its back, it looked like a huge meteorite as it approached me at breakneck speed.
I quickly kicked the ground and jumped backwards.
Immediately afterwards, there was an explosion in front of me.
The place where I stood was blown away and a huge crater was formed.
In the center of the crater, the High Orc snapped his neck sideways as if he was testing the condition of his body.
Is this some kind of preparation exercise? It’s as ridiculous as ever.
(Why is this guy here in the first place ?)
I felt no sign of him at all.
This thing really appeared here all of a sudden.
Another individual?
No, I used my right to ask questions and did as much research as I could on the monster.
As a result, I found out that the higher species of Orcs are called General Orcs, and their skin is ‘bluer’ than normal Orcs.
The only Orc with reddish copper skin is this one, which I call High Orc.
There is no way it could be a different Orc.
Then there is only one other possibility.
“ ‘reanimation’”.
I can’t think of anything else.
Aiba-san has a skill called “reanimation”.
If it is effective not only against people but also against monsters, it explains why this guy suddenly appeared here.
But at the same time, a question arose.
Why would Aiba “reanimate” a monster?
–My goal is to kill all the people in this world.
The words he had just said replayed in my head.
Don’t tell me, he betrayed us?
T/N: You guys are not yet allies, stop trusting him so easily TwT
I couldn’t believe that his story and the feelings expressed in his words were just idle words.
Is it possible that even that was just an act to create an opening to attack us?
“ ! Why ”
I wanted to believe that he was an otherworlder who would be on our side, just like Rebel-san.
I looked at Aiba-san.
“ What, what the hell is this? What is the meaning of this?”
Aiba was stunned.
It was as if he couldn’t understand the scene in front of him.
The expression on his face did not look like he was acting.
(Isn’t it Aiba’s handiwork?)
But I don’t see how anything other than his skills could have done this.
Just what the hell is going on here?
“Ooo!”
But the situation would not wait.
The High Orc kicked the earth again and attacked me.
The speed was tremendous.
The greatsword he raised was closing in on me.
“But I’m not the same person I was back then!”
It’s true that High Orcs have a high status.
“Shadow Imitation” revealed that his status was higher than mine right now. And he could also go head-on against Sora.
But the current me can fight.
I wrapped my entire body in shadow to defend against the High Orc’s attack.
I joined both my hands together and activated my ‘advanced ninjutsu’.
“Water Absorption Technique!”
In the next moment, a large amount of water was generated around me.
The water that was produced roared like a living thing and turned into a turbulent stream that attacked the High Orc.
