Volume 2 - CH 395

Sorry I’ve been out of town

9-29. Revocation

“Why is Ouren-kun sprouting from the ground?!”

“Don’t say I’m sprouting! This is also part of the strategy!”

“Do you really need such a disgusting strategy?!”

“Shut up! The Earth Spirit of Reizen is really troublesome!”

Seriously!

My clone is taking a lot of damage!

Well, I felt like I would really die if I fought with my original body, so I took the opportunity to turn into a mud golem.

He’s really coming at me with all he got…

So, this robed woman was Maria’s opponent.

Anyway, let’s get out of the ground.

“And then?”

Swish…

“Be careful! She’s as tough as Reizen-kun!”

“Oh, I see.”

That fella is using this woman as the subtitution.

No wonder Maria can’t win.

Hmm, but this woman is probably stronger than me in close combat…

Then…

“Kage Orochi, [Tenwari]!”

I unsheathed Kage Orochi and activated Tenwari, sending a slash flying.

It hit directly, and the robed woman was blown far away.

It’s better to take some distance for a moment.

It seems that Maria is also injured, so I should treat her for now.

[Great Heal]

“You……”

“There’s no one else here, so it’s okay.”

She can’t afford to be immobilized and become a burden. She needs to be healed when I can.

“So, what’s the situation?”

“Well, thanks to you going berserk, the others are also going berserk, and we don’t know when reinforcements will arrive. Can you hurry up and defeat Reizen-kun?”

“Don’t be ridiculous… I don’t know how to beat him. As soon as we exchange punches, he explodes, and I lose. What can I do?”

“Ah… Then we’ll have to find a way to deal with his slave crest… But we don’t know who his master is…”

That’s the problem.

There’s a chance that soldiers will hear this commotion and come to investigate… Hmm, it might be faster to follow up with our reinforcements and ask them for information.

… Grumble grumble grumble!!

Ah.

They’re here!!

BHGAAaaaan!!

Houses and debris are crushed into the ground as if saying they’re in the way. My clone is caught up in it too!

“!! I’ve found the real one!!”

“Damn it, [Howl]!”

Reizen’s movements come to a sudden stop. I draw my Kagee Orochi and thrust it upward from below.

“[Tenwari]! Thrust version!”

It seems Reizen tried to defend himself with the earth he controls, but it’s no match for my Tenwari. It pierces through all the soil and hits Reizen, sending him flying far away again.

It’s basically a repeat of this, but with this method, the fight will never end.

Well, it’s fine for now.

“… As expected, you and Reizen-kun are both beyond standards…”

“Well, what can I say.”

“So, what are you going to do?”

“I don’t know… Maybe I should try using a skill that I haven’t used before on Reizen.”

“Is it safe?”

“Yeah, as long as I don’t directly attack him, it shouldn’t penetrate his defense. It should be okay with normal skills.”

Well… there’s a skill that I’m particularly curious about. It’s called [Seiryuu’s Judgment].

What is it actually judging?

Also, the [Water Dragon] skill catches my attention. I won’t use it because the name sounds dangerous.

“Alright then, let’s try it out!!”

“Are you sure?! Really?!”

“We’ll figure it out! [Seiryuu’s Judgment!]”

I shout the skill together while clasping my hands. The target is Reizen!

To be honest, I have no idea what this skill is judging!!

( Reizen. You have been taken hostage and forcibly marked with a slave mark without your consent. Do you want to remove the contract? )

“Haaaaaa?!”

“Whoa, that surprised me!!”

“Eh?! U-um, wait-  pardon?!”

“What the heck?!!”

“Re-Reizen’s slave contract… can be revoked…”

“Haaaaaah?!”

“Right! That’s exactly my reaction before!”

“Why didn’t you say something sooner, you idiot?!”

“How was I supposed to know that there was a way to use it like this?!”

The voice of the heavens is still as unhelpful as ever. Can’t they make it a little clearer?

Did it even explain this skill before?

Well, whatever!

If everything ends up well, then let’s revoke Reizen’s slave contract!

Hey you, bastaro!

Hurry up and revoke it!!

【 Revoking in progress…. Revoking has been finished. 】 

“It’s done!?”

“Really!?”

“Hey, Reizen, come back!! Hurry!!”

I’m really worried if it’s really revoked!

If I still get attacked after this, it’ll be a real problem!

If that happens, be prepared, I’ll really slice up that voice of heaven!

A distant explosion was heard.

A black lump flew towards us.

It rolled on the ground and jumped high a few meters before us, landing and bowing down at the same time.

“I’m sorryyyyyy!!”

“I’ve never seen such a direct bow before?”

“Thank you so much, Aniki! I heard the announcement that the voice was heard and that you had revoked it for me!”

“Oh, that’s good… I was worried because it was a spur-of-the-moment thing.”

“Sigh… You guys are really crazy…”

I can’t deny that.

But now we can help Prince Kreis without any hesitation!

“We also helped Reizen. Now it’s time to help Prince Kreis.”

“I’m so grateful… I can’t thank you enough…”

“Okay, let’s go! We’ve been causing too much trouble and we don’t have much time!”

“Okay! But to rescue Prince Kreis, we might have to kill the priest!”

“Really?”

That’s troublesome.

Wait, the priest?

“Did the priest put a slave mark on you?”

“Yes. At that time, it was someone else who did it under different circumstances, but it seems that the authority as a combat slave was given to the priest.”

“Wait a minute, Reizen. Can you please recall the details of when you were put under the slave contract?”

“Okay.”

After that, Reizen recalled and told us about the events leading up to it, starting from when he met the voice again.
