An Old Man Was Kicked Out of the Hero’s Party, Had His Woman Stolen From Him, and Suffered a Terrible Experience, but He Becomes the Strongest After Being Given the Ability to Use Necromancy by the Former Demon King. - Episode 6
After defeating the Minotaur, he spent the night sleeping in the forest.
The spirits were watching over me, so I didn’t have to worry even if monsters got close.
In the morning, as I emerged from the forest, I heard a girl screaming.
“Someone! Help me!”
“Wait for me, I’ll be there now.”
Grabbing his sword, he ran towards the source of the scream.
When I reached the source of the scream, I found five men and a girl dressed like a wizard surrounded by them.
The men were probably thieves, as they were dirty and carried daggers and unsharpened swords.
The enemy has a weapon. You never know what they’ll do.
This is bad, I have to help him quickly.
“Hey, you guys, look over here!”
“What the hell, you?”
I yelled to get the men’s attention.
As soon as the men saw me, they cast a spell.
“O dead, gather round to me. Follow me to slay my enemies. Spirits, bind my enemies. “Spirit Chain
Using his spirits, he binds three out of the five.
Ok, this will make the fight easier.
“What is this? I can’t move.”
“What is going on?”
The men scream as they are tied up.
I try to get out, but it’s not that easy.
“If you want me to help you, release the girl.”
“It’s no use. These bandits don’t care about their allies.”
“That’s it. Go to sleep, old man.”
One of the bandits swung his sword at my head, so I crouched down to avoid it.
It would have been tough against monsters, but I’m not one to lose against bandits.
He clenched his fist and struck his opponent in the stomach from below.
“Guh.”
The thief was hit in the stomach and fell to the ground.
I got hit hard in the stomach, so I won’t be able to stand for a while.
“Damn, what’s going on? This guy is a lot stronger than he looks.”
“Surrender. You have no chance of winning.”
“Shut up!”
The last one holds a dagger and charges towards me.
He thrusts repeatedly at high speed, but doesn’t land a hit.
Even so, I’m still a member of the former hero’s party.
There’s no point in dealing with people like this.
Anticipate the thrust and grab your opponent’s arm.
Apply force and secure it completely.
“Let go!”
“No. I won’t let you go. Not until you give up.”
“Who would give up, old man?”
“Then you’ve been sleeping for a while.”
On the other hand, punch him hard in the face.
There was a crunch, a sound never heard from the human body, and the man collapsed.
I feel like I have more power than before.
Was it because he defeated the Minotaur?
This sudden increase in power must be due to the power of Soul Eater.
“Hiiiiiii”
“Help! It was our fault.”
Seeing their ally showing no signs of getting up after being hit, the bandits held captive by the spirits began to beg for their lives.
It seems he has completely lost his fighting spirit, so I’ll release him.
Once the spell is released, he abandons his allies and runs away as fast as he can.
Hey, what do we do with all these guys who have fallen?
“Thanks, uncle. You saved me.”
“You’re welcome. It’s best not to let girls wander around here alone.”
“That’s true, but everyone in my party except for me was wiped out by a monster nearby.”
“Wiped out, does that mean they’re dead?”
“No, he didn’t die. But his heart was completely broken. He turned back to the previous town.”
“I see.”
The monsters around here are strong.
If I were alone, I would have been killed by the Minotaur.
It’d be tough to walk around here unless you were with multiple people, like those thieves earlier.
“Hey, uncle, why don’t you come with me to the next town?”
“That’s right. It would be troublesome if something like what happened earlier happened.”
“Ah, that was because there were a lot of people, so I called for help. If it were just three people, I could have managed it.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll leave it at that.”
“Hmm.”
The girl sulks, apparently dissatisfied.
It’s true.
But the fact that he can walk around here probably means he’s quite capable.
Look at the girl again.
She has a tricorn hat, brown twin tails, and jeweled earrings.
He has a baby face and big eyes.
Her skin is smooth and white, and she appears to be in her teens.
Her br3asts are larger than the average woman’s.
She wears a black robe with a white skirt underneath.
“What’s the matter, uncle? You’re staring. Ah, maybe you’re mesmerized by me?”
“N-no, that’s not what I meant. I just thought you were dressed very lightly.”
“Well, I’m a magician. Heavy equipment would just get in the way.”
I see.
It makes sense for a wizard to dress lightly.
“What’s your name, uncle?”
“Me? I’m Gil Clark.”
“I think I’ve heard that before.”
“…I was at the hero’s party. I’m sure you’ve heard of me.”
“Why is he alone even though he was at the hero’s party? Maybe there’s a reason?”
“Well, that’s about it. So what’s your name?”
“I’m May Brown. Despite what you may think, I’m an adventurer known as the Fiery Witch.”
“Nice to meet you, May.”
“Nice to meet you, too, Gil. By the way, where are you going, Gil?”
“No, I’m thinking of going to a nearby village or town and getting some food.”
“Oh, then, I know a village, although it’s a bit far from here.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I’ll show you around.”
“That would be helpful.”
“I was saved, so I should at least show my gratitude.”
I haven’t eaten anything since this morning, so if I go to the village, maybe they’ll give me some food.
