Chapter 43: (3)

Stop!

Perhaps it was a fortune in disguise that he had come late, but Murgai, who had escaped the attention of the soldiers, boldly jumped in alone. In his hand was a huge piece of wood. Wielding it, he leaped into the midst of the soldiers in order to save Shijimi. However, he was outnumbered. Moreover, he had no proper weapon. So the result was obvious.

At first, the soldiers were startled and confused, but they soon calmed down and surrounded Murgai.

Murgai, was it? I dont dislike that bravado of yours, you know? How about it? I can appoint you as the leader of the clan. I can also grant you a certain degree of freedom.

Just as he had tried to appease the horned tribes anger by executing Shijimi, the Baron was planning to push the horned tribes dissatisfaction on Murgais shoulders by putting him in power.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

As if Id ever agree to such a thing! Ill protect everyone! Come, bring it on!

Murgai was oblivious to the Barons intentions, but in order to protect his beloved ones, he showed a firm determination to resist.

However, that was too reckless of an act.

Hmm, how troubling. Its kind of a waste, but I guess Ill just make an example out of you two. To make the clan obedient! Kill them with a style!

Receiving the Barons command, the soldiers made their moves at once. Murgai swung the wood with everything he had, but it couldnt raise a resistance at all. Taking advantage of the opening, the lances of the soldiers impaled him. Each time he swung the wood, a hole was made in Murgais body. It didnt take long for Murgai to lose his ability to move. Murgai collapsed as if he were crumbling to the ground. He was already on the verge of death.

Murgai!

Shijimi rushed over to Murgai. His sturdy body had been cruelly hollowed out, and his robust, log-like arms were in a severe state where they were literally connected by a piece of skin.

Im sorry. Im sorry.

What came out of her mouth were words of atonement. Was it to Murgai? Was it to the whole clan? It was unknown, but she continued to simply apologize. However, the Barons order descended without regard to such a skit.

Do it!

Perhaps to deal with the two at once. Attack magic was fired off by the soldiers. The other horned tribe members were restrained by the soldiers and were unable to move.

. O God!

Shijimi held Murgai in her arms and prayed. That was all she could do at this point. All that was left for her was to put her faith in God.

. No, no way.

What came into her view was Murgais body, which had been cruelly impaled by lances countless times. The wounds were visibly closing up. Such an absurd phenomenon, as if time itself had rewound. It wasnt something on the level of mere healing. Even the severe arms that looked as though about to tear off, were now back to their original robust selves.

What, in the world is this?

With his ability to think returning, Murgai was also dumbfounded, unable to understand what was going on. He took a look at his own body. He had returned back to normal, it was as if his near-death state until just a moment ago had been nothing but an illusion. It was the tattered clothes he was wearing that told him that the tragedy that had just transpired was not an illusion. Still dumbfounded, he looked up.

What he saw there was the back of a man. That back, which was supposed to be smaller than his own, seemed incredibly large.

Then the man spoke over his back.

This will be your last lesson. What it means to be a popular man. Be sure to burn it into your eyes.

He was mesmerized by his back. I dont remember ever taking a lesson! The presence of the man was simply so overwhelming that Murgai forgot to even make such a retort.

All Murgai could do was do as he was told and burn everything into his eyes. The ideal that everyone once longed for. The one he had given up in trying to attain before he noticed it, the figure of the ideal man that lay ahead of it.

Suke-san and Kaku-san were standing in front of the soldiers. Tanaka slowly returned to them. And issued an unusually ruthless order.

We shall completely cut off the root of the disaster here. Suke-san. Kaku-san. Dont let even one of them escape.

Perhaps that was Tanakas way of expressing his gratitude. In the face of despair, Murgai resisted until the end, risking his own life to fulfill his wish. Such a sight of him had ignited the flame of courage to rise once again in Tanaka.

Affirmative!

Ou!

The two of them promptly moved in accordance with Tanakas order.

Suke-san instantly closed the gap between him and the soldiers. Moreover, with a single dash, several soldiers were reaped. He was like a black phantom that drained up life. Every time Suke-sans afterimage appeared, the soldiers fell one by one.

Hiii! You guys have to protect me! S, stop that monster!

The Barons scream caused the soldiers who had come to their senses to start moving. However, as if totally unconcerned about it, the black phantom continued to reap the soldiers.
