The Boy Who Swore Revenge On The World 13

IMPORTANT: This is going to be the last time! I promise! ‘Ghost’ will now be changed to ‘Dead spirit’ (ノ≧ڡ≦)


Experiment (Bangle)

 

“……Fuu, it has been a long time since I’m outside”

The place we came to after having Darx create a hole connecting to the gap between life and death is, a forest near a village somewhere in the Mestoa Kingdom. Since we’ll lose to the numbers even if we went to a town, it’s still not, the time to attack yet.

Besides, the objective today is to verify the effect of the bangle and to insert some soul into the necklace. If we do it excessively gaudily, it’ll just make things difficult in the future. We won’t be discovered if we are in the gap between life and death but, even so, there’s no such thing as being too careful.

“Oo! It has been a long time since I’ve been outside! This smell, so nostalgic!”

……If only this fellow doesn’t do anything bothersome.

“Liscia, I think you know but, the objective is to test my strength. Don’t get carried away too much”

“I get it, Master. Even I know how to differentiate between normal and battle time. Besides, feeling the magic power from the nearby village, Master is more than enough. There’s no place for me”

Well, it’s fine if she gets it. I set my hands on the floor and release my magic power. I look for corpses in this forest……as expected, there are corpses in a forest that monsters are inhabiting.

What I found was, 5 wolf bones, 12 goblin corpses, 8 wraiths huh. A so-so number. There are still others but, this should be fine for something like a village.

“Oo, the results of your practice is showing, Master. Creating skeletons that are used for training every day bore its fruits”

“Well, if it’s something of this calibre. But, this still isn’t enough. The journey is treacherous”

“What, whatever wall stands in your way, I who is Master’s sword will penetrate it all”

Liscia puffs out her chest as she says that. I think her gallant places like this is cool. She’ll probably get carried away if I praise her so I won’t say anything.

“Is that so. Then I’ll be relying on you, Liscia. Now then, you guys. There should be a village nearby. Head over there. It’s fine to just seal the movements of the humans without killing them.”

The dead spirits nodded to me with their body clattering. Uーn, they don’t seem to really understand. Darx also said it but, it seems that monsters that used souls with no self can only follow simple orders.

The dead spirits ran off after receiving my orders. Well, I can obtain the souls even if they are killed so I don’t mind. Alright, shall I put on the mask and robe passed to me from Chrono and go as well. Both of it is ordinary and mediocre things.

Liscia has also put on her full face helmet that covers her entire face before I know it. It might be relics from when she was alive but, her entire body is in shiny white and gold armour. Though her figure illuminated under the moonlit night is beautiful

“You, you’re too showy for a dead spirit. Change into an all black armour”

“Wha! This armour was bestowed upon by the Holy King when I was appointed the Paladin Captain! To remove it is……”

“It’s something you received from the Holy Kingdom you hate, right?”

“……Ah”

Liscia thinks about what I said. Well, it’s up to Lisicia. I put on the mask and head towards the village. Because cries and shouts can already be heard, the fight has probably already begun.

“Hey, Liscia, let’s go. Aren’t you going to become my sword?”

“Muu, th, that’s right. Shall we go”

After slightly walking in the forest, the stench of blood can be smelled. I’ve also gotten used to this smell huh. Well, it’s my own blood though.

“Hurry up and evacuate the ones that can’t fight, women, and children! The men, be the shields!”

“Shit! This skeleton dog is fast! It went over there!”

“Is there nobody who can use magic! The wraiths are coming!”

“D, don’t come over here! Don’t come over hereeeee!”

Oh oh, isn’t this quite the intense struggle. Goblin zombies in groups of 3, attacking from all 4 directions, skeleton dogs moving freely. The wraiths sealed the escape from the sky. I didn’t give such orders so, they probably did it by instinct.

There seems to only be about 4 to 5 people who can fight in this village. The capabilities are also lower than that of the village I was in. The ones fighting in the middle and, the ones leading the escapees, the one leading the escapees is stronger judging from the strength.

We head towards the direction of the escape. It’s a small village so we arrived just after circling a little. Among about 20 women and children over there was an old knight that cut down the remaining goblin zombie from the group of 3.

“Ooo! As expected of Rowley-san!”

“Rowley Ojichan1, cool!”

“Everybody, let’s go. While the other men are buying time, to the neighbouring village……Who is it!”

The old knight who noticed us moving closer points his sword towards us. Un, if it’s this person then I can test out the bangle’s strength.

“What, I’m no one suspicious. Let me say that I’m just, the master who’s controlling them”

“Wha! Then, you are the one who attacked this village! What is your purpose for attacking this village! Money? Women?”

……Somehow the old knight is getting heated up by himself. I used to like listening to stories of the past from the elderlies but, now it’s no more than just unpleasant noises in my ears.

“I need neither of it now. What I want are just a guinea pig and you guys’ souls”

I say that as I activate my unskillful dark sorcery. I’m still not that skilful with the attack type but, I create two black spheres in my hand and release it towards the old knight.

The old knight, clad his entire body in magic, dodge the black spheres while heading towards me. If I’m not wrong, it’s a skill that wears magic and increases the physical abilities. But, Liscia is definitely faster.

Liscia said that the first thing to a battle is letting the eyes get used to it, so she came at me with full speed. It’s a speed that my eyes still can’t catch up to. Thanks to that, the old knight is very, very slow.

I can immediately kill him but, I have to test how fast I can move while wearing the bangle. I grab the sword that the old knight swung at me with my hand. At that instant, ‘Pakin’, the sword snap.

“Wha!?”

“Wha!?”

I was shocked at the same time as the old knight. My~, I’m surprised. I only gently grasp it without putting in any strength and the sword snapped. I have to practice controlling the strength.

While I was looking at my hand, the old knight took his distance. Probably because he thought that the sword is unusable, he threw it on the ground and took out a knife from his pocket.

Alright. Shall I try initiating the attack next. I put my strength into my legs and step out. When I did that, a speed incomparable to anything before came out. Because I was made to run every day by Liscia, I am able to adjust it.

In front of me, the old knight’s eyes were wide open. He’s probably extremely shocked. Even a beginner in combat like me, understood that it’s bad.

When I was about to punch the old knight.

“Uo!?”

My leg got caught on something. This feeling is……it seems that I stepped on my own robe. I lost my balance and instead of the old knight, I punched the ground. In that instant, the ground burst open. At the same time, the impact ran through my arm. Ouuuch! My arm is broken!

“……Master. Do you not know control?”

From behind came Liscia’s voice of astonishment. I know something like control! Shit, I misjudged my strength because I’m not used to it. I heal my arm with recovery magic.

I have Darx teach me and, it seems that human can heal a certain degree of injury by pouring magic power into it. For people with high magic power, I’ve heard that their wounds heal easily. To make the recovery even easier, it’s recovery magic.

I was told ‘You who are using corpse from now on also learn it’ and learned the basics but, I never would have thought that the first time I use it isn’t on a corpse but on myself.

But, I slightly understood the power of the bangle. I want to test it out a little more but, the old knight who was blown off by the impact of me punching the ground is, already in the state of half dead. His legs are also bent in the wrong directions.

Now then, I shall have the necklace tested out next.
