Volume 2 - CH 26

Into the Woods We Go

The first to flee at my threatening query were the adventurers.

「It doesn’t matter how many of us die, it won’t be enough to defeat these monsters! 」

When that one adventurer ran away shouting, they all followed him one after another. Adventurers value mostly their lives, and won’t just sacrifice themselves simply because they are asked to.

Lumina had served as a sort of representative for all of them.

The remainder of our enemy were barely a dozen soldiers, the guildmaster, and the man from Generate Kingdom.

「Damn it! I’ll remember this!! 」

As the man from Generate Kingdom said this, he turned his horse around in hopes of escaping, but I ran over to him in an instant and grabbed hold of him.

「Let me go, fiend! 」

I struck a blow to the neck of the shouting man, knocking him unconscious, several of the Generate Kingdom soldiers who still remained came at me with their swords in the attempt to rescue him.

「You’ll have to forgive me but I have no mercy to spare for you guys 」

I slashed away at each of the soldiers who were raising their swords at me with a single strike.

It did not take long for all the soldiers to be laying lifeless on the ground. The guildmaster and the Fendi soldiers who were serving as only his guards, after seeing this, turned pale and took off running in the opposite direction on their horses.

I grabbed the unconscious man by the collar and dragged him to Natalie and the other two girls.

「Touya-san, your strength still astonishes me…… 」

「—I did not have much of a role in this fight…… 」

Char looked impressed and Al was a little disappointed.
