Chapter 572 – Side Story 75) Barbarian Knight (14)
Side Story 75) Barbarian Night (14)
‘Why is this coming out here?’
Seeing the Sanctuary armor on display in an unexpected place, Henry was very taken aback.
It was the only treasure in Monster Hunter Village, but it was different in Dark City. Although the grade is a bit low, everyone with a lot of money had one Sanctuary Armor in their house.
This is because Sanctuary, which has enough money, people, and technology, developed and released the entry-level Sanctuary Armor.
Since it was a supply type, at most level 1 level psychic powers were imprinted on it, but that alone was a new world for ordinary people without psychic powers.
In addition, the heroes were using sanctuary armor of a different level from the entry level.
In other words, if you have a lot of money, getting Sanctuary Armor is not that difficult.
But the important thing is that this is not the Dark City, but the middle of the land of monsters. Why is there Sanctuary Armor in the middle of the land of monsters?
‘…Does that look great?’
The Sanctuary Armor on display in the cave was unusual at first glance. There is no comparison to the entry-level model, and it even looked much better than Henry’s.
The basic form of Sanctuary armor Henry uses is a belt. When the Sanctuary Armor is activated, the nanoparticles embedded in the buckle are ejected.
But that was different.
It has the form of a complete suit, from a cloak to boots, gloves, and a hat.
It was a complete set-up.
In addition, since there was a faint red light, it was immediately clear that it was not an ordinary item.
‘No, but why is this here… Huh? What do you think is written there?’
Henry looked at the Sanctuary armor as if possessed, and found something written on paper underneath. It could be a trap, so Henry checked what was written on the paper from a distance.
[The best Sanctuary Armor in the world!]
[It’s a monster road!]
[Do not steal. Never steal Never ever steal.]
[If you steal it, you will cry! So really, never steal!]
“…”
Henry was at a loss for words at the crookedly written handwriting, like a child’s.
The best sanctuary armor in the world?
But there was something more important than that written on the paper.
‘It’s a monster load?’
On the paper, it was written that this Sanctuary Armor belonged to Monster Lord.
‘Should I believe this or not?’
It was a series of chaos.
I risked my life to see if there really was a monster lord who commanded monsters here, but he said there was a monster lord.
Since there was a monster load too openly, Henry was suspicious that it might be a trap.
‘…I have to check other places first.’
It seemed like a trap for some reason, so I couldn’t touch the Sanctuary Armor that was supposed to belong to the Monster Lord. So he turned around to check the other side.
“…”
But Henry couldn’t take his feet off easily.
No matter how much Henry was the best monster hunter, he was still a man. And everyone had a desire.
If you don’t get greedy after seeing that Sanctuary Armor, that wouldn’t be human. This was especially true in the case of Henry, who desperately needed a good weapon because he had no psychic powers.
Furthermore,
[Do not steal. Never steal Never ever steal.]
[If you steal it, you will cry! So really, never steal!]
If you are told not to do it, isn’t it human psychology that you want to do it?
They tell you not to take it so hard, but if you really don’t take it, that’s not polite (?).
‘I have to leave…’
That’s what Henry was thinking about.
Cree-R-R-R-L-!
Kkeekkeekkeekkeek-!
Kyaooooong-!
“…!”
I heard the monsters cry outside. The cries were coming closer and closer.
‘A place to hide…!’
Henry hurriedly looked around. But he had nowhere to hide. There was only one way out, and most of the nanoparticles were destroyed in the battle with [Charm.Coca.Tris].
What a quandary!
“… Even if it’s a trap, I can’t help it anymore!”
Eventually, Henry turned to the Sanctuary Armor.
*****
“Wow… That toxic bastard. He didn’t take it even after seeing the Sanctuary Armor? I told him to take it?”
“Umm… I can’t do this… I can’t do it. Dumma! You guys, go over there right now, Mr. Pax! Hurry up you bastards!”
“Yes, that’s right. You should take care of it. No, I prepared the table for you, but it’s going to be delicious. Why are you asking me to scoop it up? Anyway, my son-in-law is annoying people?”
“Ohhhhh… You want to fight? Yes, try it. Let’s see… I put the popcorn in there? Ah, I found it. Mincho popcorn. To think that I, who was anti-Mincho group, became a Mincho group… Seriously, I’m the best darling wife in the universe.” He’s a traitor.”
*****
Driven into a situation where he could neither escape nor hide, there was only one thing Henry could do. Eventually he reached out for the Sanctuary armor on display.
Sticking to it – chollaralarak-!
“… Wow.”
When Henry’s hand touched it, the nanoparticles that made up the Sanctuary Armor moved themselves and stuck to Henry’s body as if they had been waiting for this moment. In a way, it was a situation where I was wearing clothes, but there was no discomfort in the slightest. Even the Sanctuary Armor on display was reduced to fit Henry’s size.
Henry, dressed in reddish clothes, was clearly different from before.
Hook-!
“Oh?!”
At that moment, my throat felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.
‘Damn! Was it a trap after all?’
Henry thought poison had been injected into his body. He didn’t know what kind of poison it was, but he tried to take a detoxifying herb out of his bag and eat it.
But there was no need.
“Uh?”
A tidal wave of information flooded into Henry’s mind.
“This… How to use it?”
That was how to use the Sanctuary Armor. It was much better than the Sanctuary Armor he had been using before and was endowed with many more functions.
Also, like a special sanctuary armor, there was a name.
“Aegis?”
Aegis, a shield said to have been used by the goddess of war.
That was the name of this Sanctuary Armor.
Besides, that wasn’t the only surprise.
“This, this…!”
Henry, who was checking the information that entered his head, was frightened.
As mentioned above, the nanoparticles of the Sanctuary Armor that Henry received as a gift from his master were stored in the buckle of his belt.
However, Aegis contained far more nanoparticles than that.
Tops, bottoms, hats, gloves, belts, boots.
There were as many as six nanoparticle repositories.
Henry attacks the monster by concentrating the nanoparticles into a weapon. Naturally, the more nanoparticles are concentrated, the higher the attack power. So, Henry pondered countless times about whether there was a way to increase the nanoparticles of the Sanctuary Armor. Of course, all of them failed.
Anyway, becoming the owner of Aegis allowed Henry to handle more nanoparticles. A simple calculation would make it six times stronger.
Of course, if you enter the battle in earnest, you can display more than 6 times the attack power.
“If this…”
Confidence began to rise in Henry’s chest. It seemed that no matter what monster appeared, even if Arachne sister had to sacrifice [Char. Coca. Tris], She would be able to kill it even if she fought alone.
No, you can kill it
“Good.”
Henry, filled with confidence, waited for the monsters to approach. He wanted to quickly test this newly acquired power. He knew very well that he had to hide the fact that he had invaded the cave from the Monster Lord, but he couldn’t stand it.
“Kyaooooong-!”
After a while, three monsters appeared. The monsters who discovered Henry immediately rushed at him, salivating as if their appetite had exploded.
Chow-!
As Henry stretched his hands forward, nanoparticles erupted from his gloves and took the form of his pistol. Henry shouted, holding dual pistols in his hands.
“‘The bullets are out!'”
Do-do-do-do-do-doo-!
He pulled the trigger once, and dozens or even hundreds of bullets rained down like his machine gun. It was a bullet made entirely of nanoparticles.
“Kiyiyiik?!”
The nanoparticle bullets tore through the bodies of the monsters. In one attack, as many as three medium-sized monsters were torn to shreds, making their shapes unrecognizable.
“Oh my god…”
One second, it took less than one second to kill the three monsters. Despite what he had done, Henry couldn’t contain his astonishment.
“If this…”
Henry clenched his fists, and he ran out.
‘I can get it.’
He is a hero that he had no choice but to pass by because he was too weak.
‘I can get it!’
You can save them
‘I can get it!!!’
Villagers no longer have to tremble in fear from monsters.
‘I can get it!!!!!’
Can keep
“I can get it!!!!!!”
Henry ran out to save the heroes.
“Keeeee… Eh?!”
Hearing Henry’s cry, monsters came rushing in. But when his gun burst into flames, he collapsed.
I just got a new Sanctuary Armor, but I got a tremendous power that can’t be compared to before.
‘Master… Did Master live in a world like this?’
Upon stepping into the world where his master lived, Henry remembered what he had said to him.
‘Listen, Henry. There are so many people in the world who are weaker than me but much stronger than you.’
‘Wow! Really? So, who is stronger than Sabu?’
‘Doesn’t exist.’
‘Yes?’
‘No one is stronger than me. I’m the best.’
‘Howaaaaa~!’
Oh, isn’t this?
Henry groped his memory again.
‘Henry. You’ll know someday… But with great power comes great responsibility.’
‘What does that mean, Sabu?’
‘Think about it. You have the same power as me… Oh, this is impossible to imagine? Because I’m the oldest Anyway, let’s say you’re super strong. But it looks like people are being eaten by monsters right in front of you. Then what will you do?’
‘Am I strong enough to kill monsters?’
‘Huh.’
‘Then of course I have to save it!’
‘Why?’
‘Yes? Why?’
‘Huh. Why? He has nothing to do with you.’
‘Uh… I’m not sure! But I still have to save it!’
‘So why?’
‘Uh… Because I have the power to save people?’
‘That’s right. But on the contrary, the power you have can harm others.’
‘Ugh? Why? I don’t think so?’
‘If you have strong power, even if you stay still, your power will inevitably affect others. For example, let’s say you didn’t save people in the previous example. Then people will be eaten by monsters, right?’
‘Oooh… Yes.’
‘Then you will be very heartbroken. Because you have the power to save them, but you couldn’t.’
‘That’s right! Just imagining it makes me sad!’
‘You always have to think about when you use your power. Depending on the choices you make, you can either save people or harm them.’
‘Ugh… I don’t know Sabu! It’s too difficult!’
‘Right? Actually, from the middle, I didn’t even know what I was talking about. Anyway, the important thing is to use your power for good. Because that’s much better than spending it on bad things. But you don’t have to worry about it already.’
‘Yes? Why?’
‘Now you’re a piece of shit.’
‘… Sabu!’
‘Chuckling giggling!’
After reminiscing about the past, Henry arrived at the cave where the heroes were being held.
“All, you…”
“Oh, no… Run! It’s dangerous!”
“Queueex!”
The eyes of the heroes who discovered Henry widened. The monsters who had been licking their lips under the heroes found Henry walking around and rushed at him.
The heroes shouted to Henry to run away even in the midst of hardship themselves.
“Master, in fact, I still don’t know what the words you said to me mean.”
I aimed my dual pistols at the monsters.
“But I’ve already decided where I’ll use my powers.”
He pulled the trigger
“I’m going to use my powers to protect people! ‘The bullets are out!'”
Bang-bang-bang-bang-!
The muzzle spewed fire, and the monsters died in the blink of an eye.
15-year-old Henry Kahn.
He was a monster hunter and a hero who protected people.
