Chapter 7 – Capture Part 4
Meanwhile, Reina was also dealing with Law and Sein who suddenly jumped out of the shadows.
“…”
With her mouth firmly shut, Low presses Reina with knuckles in both of her hands.
In order to fight an opponent with a sword with a knuckle, or fist, you must dig into the opponent’s gap.
As if well aware of that, Low constantly sticks to Reina and presses her.
Immediately, Light’s Protection: Reina tries to increase the distance from Law with the rapid stack, but…
“?”
“…”
“You move…?”
5 stacks of Light’s Blessing Speed.
Despite Reina’s speed, which she couldn’t even follow with her eyes, Low did not lag behind at all and caught up, only looking for an opportunity to close her distance by flying her one-two.
It was the level of a master of bare-handed fighting, moving only her lower body diligently, while her upper body remained motionless and her fists stretched out.
Already ordinary people exchange swords and fists while bouncing dizzyingly through a small space at a speed that does not even know where they are fighting.
Only the sound of metal heard here and there proved the fierce fighting.
A close-knit fight. At that time.
“Go! Low Nari!”
At Sain’s signal, who suddenly jumped out of the shadows, Low suddenly changed his pressure stance, jumped backwards, and ran away from Reina.
At the same time, ten vials thrown by Sein at different times collided in the air and broke, and suddenly a large series of explosions hit Reina!
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
“Hmph! It’s difficult to catch flying flies, but if you explode them all in space! Did you kill them? Not even a Knight of Light would be able to survive this special fire?”
The smell of deflagration and chemicals.
The whole view was covered with black smoke.
The smoke slowly cleared and Reina appeared from there.
“Light’s protection: automatic defense”
He was in good shape with no injuries.
“…!”
“This, this…!”
This is Reina’s absolute defense.
Through constant training, a defensive technique that allows her to freely move her protection to the part that needs defense reflexively without going through her brain!
In other words, it’s like Reina has her literal invisible shield guarding her full 360 degrees at all times!
“Pressures the opponent with superior speed with a sharp blow, and explodes the space from a distance. It was a good attempt…”
Reina takes advantage of the moment when Sein is dumbfounded, switches her protective protection back to swift, approaches quickly in reverse, and presses Low.
Lowe responded right away and punched her.
At first glance, the exchange seemed to be no different from before.
However, Law gradually begins to miss Reina’s swordsmanship.
“As expected, it’s a one-time strategy. To catch up with my speed with 5 stacks of speed with an ordinary body without even mana. Abnormally protruding blood vessels on that temple. Bloodshot eyes. I’ve heard of it. You Brain limitsDid you solve it? But, is that the limit now?”
“…!”
Just as he said, he couldn’t deal with all of Reina’s attacks, and Rowe’s body was carved with sword strikes one by one.
Feeling the unfavorableness of the charter world, Rowe exerted all his might and twisted his body while using all his might to dig into Reina’s gap.
“Ha!”
With the trumpet hook aimed at Reina’s jaw easily blocked by her elbow wrapped around her, Reina swung her sword as it was.
“Keugh…”
Lowe collapses, bleeding from a single cut across her torso.
“Hey…! Monster, monster…! Oh, don’t come! Cuckoo!”
Reina approaches Sein, who is trembling and loses the will to fight at that overwhelming figure, and strikes her on the back of the neck with his capital sword, neatly knocking her out.
“Hmph. You are the witnesses of this case. Let’s arrest them all and investigate.”
“Hehe. You’re late. Reina. Have your skills rusted?”
“Hah? I was a more difficult opponent!”
“Yeah yeah~ Let’s say something like that. Hey~ A guy named Cain? Now that your trump card has been used up and you’re the only one left, what do you do?
“…Keuh…!”
I bit my lip until it bled.
I hate to admit it, but it’s true.
Like Lit and Dalton, who are still hiding, I’m not good at fighting.
It is of no help in the face of overwhelming force.
I raised both hands that were clenched tightly.
“Ah. It’s my defeat.”
◆
The ruins are silent.
I was on my knees, unaware of how much time had passed, staring blankly into the empty air as if I was bewildered.
All the orcs are dead.
I haven’t checked it out exactly, but it doesn’t look like it’s alive given its scars and crushed shape.
Four executives are also sprawled on the floor. Perhaps with the interrogation in mind, all four seemed to have their lives attached.
Reina put the helmets of the Knights of Light aside and was meditating in front of them.
If I executed my strategy correctly, none of the Knights of Light who entered the ruins would survive.
And, when I think about this quiet silence where I can only hear my own heartbeat, it seems that all of my soldiers hidden in the ruins have been attacked by Reina.
“So what are you going to do now?”
“First, we’ll have to arrest them all and interrogate them. But, there’s a problem…”
Reina looked into Aricia’s eyes.
The problem is that I caused damage to both the Kingdom of Fenrir and the Kingdom of Astraea.
Which one will take us prisoner and interrogate us.
In some cases, this issue will lead to a conflict even before the interrogation.
Also, before that, Aricia is like an enemy who has been fighting to kill each other until today.
Now, it wouldn’t be surprising if Aricia suddenly attacked Reina.
“Ah~ that’s about it. Kid. Do as you please.”
Aricia shrugged her shoulders.
“To?”
As Rayna looked at her with her rabbit-like eyes, Aricia waved her hand and said,
“I’m not interested in trivial things like that. Promise me instead. After the interrogation is over and things are sorted out, I’ll decide to fight with you. Today, the excitement has cooled, so it’s going to be hard to decide. Okay? War or one-on-one. That’s Ron.”
“Pu-huh. Whoa. Really. She’s like a gorilla. Okay. I promise. Reina Astraea in the name of our lord, the Goddess of Light.”
Reina laughed as if it were absurd. That was Raina’s first real laugh today.
“Utcha. Then, let’s fill this guy up first.”
After saying that, Aricia turned her back on Reina and held her necklace in her hand.
It was made of leather like a dog collar, and in the middle was a dark red mana stone.
“That’s?”
“Necklace of Obedience. It is a magic item that we, in the Kingdom of Fenrir, wear to losers in a duel. If the person wearing this necklace has hostility toward the person set as the owner, it is a necklace made to sense it and strangle it.”
“Such brutal stuff?!”
“Hey. In the kingdom of Fenrir, this order is taken for granted. And this cunning guy might do something else during the escort! You don’t want to be stabbed in the back either? Now, touch the mana stone in the center of the necklace.”
“That’s true… Phew. It can’t be helped.”
The Necklace of Obedience establishes the owner by recognizing the individual’s mana pattern in the mana stone embedded in the center.
Since Aricia is already a necklace set as the owner, Reina put her hand on her necklace for a moment and then removed it to set Reina as her co-owner.
Then Aricia came over and put the necklace roughly around my neck.
The necklace is rather tight even in normal times, and it seems that someone is constantly holding it around her neck.
I was awakened by that unpleasant feeling.
“Gagging. Ugh… Ugh… This, this…?”
“Have you come to your senses? Pyramid. Now you’re in the palm of our hand. You’d better not do anything nonsense. Oh, and of course to that kid.”
“…This necklace of obedience…”
“…What is it? Did you know? It’s not fun. It’s quite fun to run into it without knowing the subject and then choke on it and beg for help.”
“That’s good. I carried it as expected.”
“What?”
“Die! Aricia!”
I unexpectedly pulled out the dagger I had hidden in my bosom and charged. It was for this moment that I pretended to be insane.
However.
“Keahhhhh…”
I couldn’t walk a few steps and missed the dagger.
The necklace chokes her neck harder than she imagined, making it difficult to breathe at once.
“Tch. You stupid bastard! Withdraw your enmity now! Or you might die!”
“No… Kill! Kkeuk… Kek kek… I’ll kill! Aricia! Reina! You guys!”
I don’t know because I can’t see it, but my face must have turned bright red.
I feel the blood rushing.
Involuntarily, both hands climbed up to the necklace and tried to get it off somehow, but it didn’t work, only to forcefully scratch the skin around the neck.
“Are you not able to grasp the situation?! Reap your hostility! Cain! Otherwise, you will die!”
“Cheuk… Even if I die… It’s fine… Hee… Hee… If I can send you guys… To hell…! ..Gwh…Gwh…! I’m willing to live my life.” .. Ugh… Let’s walk… Hee…! Hee…!”
One step… Two steps… I approach them while staggering.
Aricia and Reina were looking at me with stunned expressions, not even trying to stop me.
My desperate efforts will just look like an outburst.
“Foolish. What can you do in that state?”
I didn’t answer the question, but I screamed with all my strength.
“This distance should have been enough…! Dalton..!!”
“Yes! Sir Cain! Now!”
“Under?”
“?!”
The change happened in an instant. Nothing has changed for me.
It was on their side that changed.
“Kuhhhhh?! Kkeuhhhhh…”
“Ugh… Kek Kek… Ugiik…”
They were also suffering in the same way as I was.
“This…What…? Ugh… Uhhhhh…”
Reina’s hands eagerly touch her neck, looking for something to strangle her, but there is nothing there.
That’s natural.
“Yeah..You bastard… You minnow…!
Aricia grasped the situation faster than Reina.
“Chig gigg… Kwugh…! Chug…! Bitches… What is this… Heheuk… Do you know?”
I pulled out of her pocket and held a ragged stuffed toy in each of my hands.
The dolls oddly resemble Aricia and Reina, respectively.
“Ughugh… Keheh… What the hell is that!!”
“Yes. Excuse me while you’re busy. I’ll explain that to you. Heroes.”
Dalton stepped out of the shadows.
“Nice to meet you. The representative of the Dalton Company. My name is Dalton. I hope that the two heroes will also use Dalton Company a lot in the future.”
With some slow greetings, Dalton began to explain.
“That Sensory Sharing DollIt is a cursed item called. It’s not a big deal, but it’s a toy used by children that synchronizes the owner’s senses and conveys them to the other person. Compared to the difficult conditions of having to be close to the opponent and putting parts of the opponent’s body such as hair into the doll in advance, there was not much benefit, so our company thought it was a malicious stock… But we couldn’t imagine using it like this. As expected, our Excellency Cain.”
Yes. It’s not like Reina and Aricia are actually being strangled. There is nothing to stop breathing. Even at this moment, inhalation and exhalation are normally flowing in and out of their nose and mouth. However, Their brainDoesn’t think so
Unpleasant tactile sensation of tightness in the throat.
The pressure and pain that seemed to break even the bones.
A feeling of suffocation, as if thrown into the sea.
A throbbing headache felt as a result of prolonged suffocation.
And even a sense of loss of consciousness that seems to be cut off if you let go of your mind for a moment.
All the senses I feel are being shared with their brains through the doll!
Therefore, those who were not actually strangled suffered the same pain as I did.
If I remain in this state until I lose consciousness, I can cause them to lose consciousness as well.
If that happens, this match is our special team’s victory!
Originally, there was an element of anxiety in this plan.
For example, even if this sense is shared, will Rayna’s protection of light be dangerous, so will it be automatically defended?
Or, if it was Aricia’s monstrous physical ability, wouldn’t she be able to move enough even when she was strangled?
In addition, I couldn’t find a way to stably approach to close range, and depending on the intensity and time of strangulation, my life could be in danger.
Therefore, this is the gamble number decided to save until the very end.
However, looking at the faces distorted by pain like me now, it seems that luck was on my side today.
“Kuh…Keuh…! Kkeuk… Kuk… Kuck… This is my secret trick! Giggling… Heck… Heck… Now, what are you going to do? …Bitch field!”
“That’s right…”
Raina collapsed, her legs first. On the other hand, Aricia, who was a few steps ahead of him.
“Yeah… Bastard!”
Closing the distance with just one step, he swung his great sword 『Bone Destroyer』 And aimed for my head.
It was a surprise blow.
A final counterattack with the maximum power possible while holding on to the consciousness that seemed to be cut off at any moment.
Maybe my head is broken
If I hadn’t been prepared!
“…!!”
I ran backwards with all my might.
A huge black wind passes by the tip of my nose.
I dodged the blow and fell backwards with a gap the thickness of a sheet of paper.
And what I see in my eyes is Aricia, who is slowly collapsing like me after exhausting her strength.
Coudantang.
With a fierce impact that hits the ground without even falling.
Suddenly my consciousness was cut off.
Ah.
It’s my win
In this way, the two females fell into the hands of our special unit.
