To Me, Who Was Single-Handedly Holding The Front Line, You Call Me A "Useless Piece of Trash"? Fine. I'll Live as I Please And Set Out On A Journey To Find A Cute Wife. - This time, I'll Become A Hero In The Enemy Country And Bare My Fangs At My Homeland - Episode 28
With Yamagishi’s entry, the situation of the war has changed significantly.
“Visible slash! Invisible slash! A random slash that’s neither!”
“Ugh, you’re moving too much, Yamagishi! O-Oh no, I’m going to fall!”
The massive Murder Spider Death Creature was defeated without a chance to fight back, and even the regular Murder Spider Death Creatures fell with just a single blow. Furthermore, after finishing their attack, they became invisible.
The enemy couldn’t even find a means to attack Yamagishi.
Finally, the Trava army has deployed human soldiers, using the latest magical weapons to fire magic projectiles.
However, the first to react to it was Fern, a half-human, half-elf with one human ear and one elf ear.
“Magic, capture the fail without letting the wizard through, capture!”
Leading the way, he quietly murmured, creating a magical barrier that would block only the enemy’s attacks.
The magic bullet hovers in the air, then falls to the ground.
Furthermore, Fern forged the Ice Sword Glass Ace and the Ice Shield Glass Shield for Knight Verdi.
It had the power to pierce through the outer shell of the Death Creature, a massacre spider that had previously been impervious to attacks, and it was imbued with magic that allowed the ice blade to automatically regenerate even if it broke.
Magic is a world of creation. Fern’s magic, which made her truly believe that nothing is impossible after meeting Yamagishi, was approaching the ultimate realm.
“W-What the hell are these guys…?”
“I didn’t hear anything about this monster.”
“Hi, hi, hi, hi, gyahhhhhh――”
Amidst all this, it was Arne and his junior who charged right into the heart of the Trava soldiers.
Only the shadow passes through.
Although they hardly exchanged any words, the two of them took down the soldiers without being seen by the enemy.
Furthermore, the massacre spider death creature controlled by the giant sword was charging at the Trava soldiers, covered in an ice defense.
“Wh-why is this happening, you said it would be easy to crush them, fuhyaaa――”
“Run, run, run away!”
“This is impossible to win…”
Desertion in the face of the enemy is punishable by death, but the soldiers of Trava had no choice but to retreat.
Having seen that, the commander of the Land Knights was not careless.
While yearning for Yamagishi’s refined movements, I steel myself.
“I’d love to burn to my heart’s content, but now’s not the time. — Elina!”
“My favorite couple is too cool… I love them. I really love them. I love the two of them together… Ah, I love them. I love them… They’re so precious… We’ll get revenge together.”
“Hey, Elena!”
“Y-yes! What is it?”
“There’s nothing more frightening than a wounded beast. Just in case, please guard Bory and Yamagishi.”
“Hah! Grateful happiness, understood――Ahhhhh, I’m coming right nowwwwwwwwwwwww!”
Letting out a fierce roar, Elena charges forward.
Seeing Bory join and head back to the front lines once again, the commander of the Land Knights was also convinced of victory—but—.
“Commander Land!”
“What’s wrong, Dualos? Your glasses are fogged up.”
“Y-Yeah, I’m fine. This is just magical steam—no, that’s fine! There’s some eerie magical reaction coming from behind Trava.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“I don’t understand. It’s something I’ve never felt before.”
“Damn damn damn damn, what the hell is this? Why can’t our massacre spider death creature win?”
King Baldra stomped his feet and shouted on the spot. Next to him, Bedouin was quietly trying to escape.
“Hey, Bedouin!”
“Yikes!? Y-yes!”
“If we’re talking about the root of the problem, it’s your subordinate’s fault! Wasn’t it a mistake to try to execute Yamagishi?”
“W-What do you mean by that!? Even the king said he’s a spy!?”
“Shut up, shut up, shut up! If we lose this battle, the existence of the Massacre Spider Death Creature will be revealed, and I will surely be overthrown. If that happens… it’s all over for me…”
Baldra, who had become emotionally unstable, was letting liquid drip from the hole, as they say.
And then, suddenly, they burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, haha, hahaha, that’s right. I understand, I understand now. They are good people. Yes, that’s it. That’s the key.”
“Y-Your Majesty… w-what are you…”
“Bedouin, this is your final order. –Die.”
After a little while, the Massacre Spider Death Creature starts to retreat.
The Trava soldiers also retreat to the rear, saying, “It’s for the best.”
Elena and Bory felt an eerie sensation and deliberately conveyed that they should avoid pursuing it further.
Accompanied by the discordant sound of magic, Yamagishi appeared.
“What’s this, is it over?”
“Yamagishi, let me down. My magic power is already running out. I’m a burden.”
“Eh!? I still have about five special moves I want to try! Can’t you somehow come up with them!? Like, lifting magic power from my feet and all that!?”
“I’m not toothpaste… Don’t ask for the impossible.”
“I see…”
Yamagishi hung his head. Fern also joined him next to him.
“Mr. Yamagishi, what will you do?”
“Chase them down and kill them all, and that should be the end of it, right? But wait, isn’t it better to leave just the big shots alive in situations like this? Politically speaking.”
“That might be true. That person… I know them. I’m sure it’s the leader of the Bedouin tribe. The one who… captured me.”
A Bedouin is walking towards us from the front. For some reason, all alone.
“Eh, really? Then we should kill him.”
“I heard that word for the first time.”
Fern was reminiscing about the past.
Although I was living in the forest with my brother, we were suddenly attacked by the Trava soldiers who appeared out of nowhere, separated, and captured.
After being taken away, there were various half-breeds in the cage.
Even though they are considered useless by society, for some reason, they are all half-breeds.
Then, the Bedouin suddenly began to shout.
“H-Hear me, you hypocrites! Listen well!”
My tongue isn’t working properly. The soldiers of Verdi also notice something is off.
The commander of the Land Knights warned not to take action, as it might be a trap.
“I’ll tell you this, you fool, you hypocrites! The true identity of the Massacre Spider Death Creature is one of your own!”
“.No way.”
Fern, who is connected to everything, involuntarily loses strength in her hands.
Half-beast people were taken away one after another, and they never came back.
Why was I captured? That’s everything—.
“Hehe, hehe, do you understand? You killed your own comrades! Do you get it? Huh? Even the Verdi soldiers you captured as prisoners!”
Even in war, prisoners of war should be treated with care.
The soldiers of Verdi, realizing that such a basic common sense had been broken, trembled at the thought that they might have killed their own comrades with their own hands.
“He, he, he, you fools. You idiots. Go to hell――reeeeaaahhhhhh”
In the next moment, the Bedouin twisted his body.
As the magical power bursts out from within the body, bl00d and flesh erupt.
Just when I thought my joints were breaking, it transformed into the Murder Spider Death Creature.
Seeing that, the Verdi soldier realizes that the Bedouin’s words were true.
From even deeper within, the remnants of the massacre spider death creatures began to appear one after another.
I also noticed that the soldiers of Toraba did not appear. Even the Death Creature, the massacre spider that was supposed to be controlled by the giant sword, was showing its hostility.
“That King Baldra, he’s finally crossed the line.”
In the country of Verdi, there had been a series of incidents where half-breeds were being kidnapped.
In other words, the Grand Knight Commander understood that Trava had committed a crime to create the Massacre Spider Death Creature.
Continuing to fight like this could mean continuing to kill our own people.
I can’t let you do something like that.
However, I couldn’t overlook this at this point.
The commander of the Land Knights bit his lip hard and then steeled himself.
At the same time, Elena and Bory also see the face of the Land Knight Commander.
The three of them steeled themselves and nodded.
“Elena, Bory, let’s go.”
“Ha!”
However, it was Yamagishi who stopped it.
Using the giant sword, make it impossible to pass through.
“Everyone, you don’t want to kill, right?”
The commander of the Land Knights replied, “Even so, we must do it.”
“Alright. Leave the rest to me. — The rest is up to me.”
Fern notices Yamagishi’s determination and panics.
“Yamagishi-san, are you really planning to do it all by yourself?”
“Sorry, Fern. I’m different from everyone else after all. No matter how far it goes, I can’t help but enjoy fighting. I like killing. That’s just who I am. So, leave it to me. I’ll kill them all. I’ll take care of everything. No one will get hurt.”
“It’s no good. What are you talking about!? There’s no need for Yamagishi-san to bear everything on his own――”
“Fern, and everyone else, could you please step back a bit? And even after everything is over, don’t come near me. I don’t know how long it will take, but it might take a while until my magic power is fully drained.”
The commander of the Land Knights noticed Yamagishi’s swelling magical power and hurriedly issued a thorough command.
Elena also notices it and, along with Bory, makes the knights retreat.
“The hair is saying that if it stays here, it will die. I’m pulling it out!!!!”
The execution spider death creatures continue to multiply with the number of Trava soldiers.
Did they cast a spell to further enhance the magical power? It had stronger magical power than before.
Arne and the junior murmur upon seeing that.
“Senpai, what should we do?”
“With our current magic, it’s a hindrance. Besides, I was wrong. This magic is the very embodiment of the Berserker Frenzy. I’m pulling back.”
“Hey, Fern, we have to go!”
“But, but Yamagishi-san is――”
“Enough already, I’m leaving!”
Manbiki grabbed Fern’s arm and forcibly pulled her back.
Yamagishi continues to amplify his magical power.
Eventually, when no one was around, Yamagishi wore a defiant smile.
You can feel an overwhelming sense of murderous intent.
“It’s been a while. It’s nice to be able to kill without thinking. —Hey, partner great sword.”
「hifaiiwfw///////」
When the massacre spider death creatures all let out a scream at once, black patterns—cursed seals—began to appear on Yamagishi’s body.
The hair continues to grow longer. The eyes also become darker.
The commander of the Land Knights, who was watching from a distance, trembled in voice.
“This is… the Berserker Frenzy of Madness?”
And then Fern,
“…a half-breed between humans and demons…”
Quietly, I murmured the answer.
