The effects of the ‘New Recruit’s Shin Guard’ Marquis Isky gave me was tremendous.
While it doesn’t get to the level of leaving an afterimage like in anime, it gave me an athlete’s power and running strength.
Mist and I went out of the dungeon and into the residence.
We hid the fainted maids in a room an after confirming that nobody saw us, we quickly moved.
It was almost a stealth mission game-like action.
“Carrying over 10 people is hard work as I thought…”
The maids rolled down to sleep on top of the carpet looked just like a refuge temple, making me feel unwell.
“…. Mist, is this everyone?”
“Not everyone, I guess. I don’t know everyone here after all. …. also, Haibo and Twys aren’t here”
We didn’t know what became of them since we were captured in the guest room.
They might even get a parasite planted in them again….
“But Mist…”
After we brought down surveillance to this extent, we can afford to act a little more flashy.
“We’ll infiltrate Glenn’s room”
The moment I opened the door to follow behind her.
“Ah, wait, Yuu-kun!”
“Ah”
Because it was all so sudden we were shocked stiff for a while.
Glenn said.
[Ready…. Equip!]
This must be what they call ‘flying into a rage’.
“You amateurs have no skill!”
He turned his sword straight at my charge. He knew well how to deal with that.
Not good, I’m only going to get stabbed like this, I thought.
[Emergency!!]
My body was wrapped in a bubble, stopping Glenn’s sword by a hair’s breadth.
“Tch! Don’t use some weird magic tool!!”
Princess Rosé jumped in front of me.
“If you keep getting in the way of Glenn-sama anymore I…. Kyaaah!!”
Never expecting me to take such a rough measure, Glenn and Rosé’s expressions changed.
If she could eject the parasite off of Princess it’ll be our win.
“Yes!”
In one second the parasite would—
“Kilowind!!”
Wind blew, tearing Mist off of Princess Rosé.
I turned my head, and there was the frightening sight of a giant swinging his sword down.
The blade struck the floor, making the marble break with a crunching sound.
“Muu. You evaded”
It was Marquis Isky.
His body that easily towered over me was carrying a double-edged blade over one meter in length.
“You impudent manservant, don’t just do as you please in our house!!”
“Go, Glenn. I’ll deal with him”
Glenn grabbed Rosé’s hand and withdrew.
“Marquis! If you allow his barbarity it will be a disgrace to the Isky family!”
“…. right, yeah. Keep me company for a bit, youngster”
So he completely believes he’s superior, does he.
“OK!”
” ‘Spark!!’ ”
Several hundred bolts of electricity shot blindly.
That’s probably enough to chip off his fighting spirit, or so I thought, but I was too naïve.
“Hmmmmph!!”
The fake Marquis swung his blade around, turning around as he smashed the furniture and ornaments.
What is this bastard!
“MUDAMUDAMUDA*!!”
With that much resistance, he slowly but steadily pushed back and went towards me.
Mist shouted.
“We’re disadvantaged in narrow spaces!! Get outside!!”
I grit my teeth and retreated.
I felt the fake Marquis come in behind me.
If we keep doing this I’ll lose sooner or later.
As I was running, Mist whispered in my ear.
“…. Yeah, it does”
But it needs time to prepare and that guy won’t show me a gap that lets me shoot it at him.
She seems to have thought of something and didn’t have the leisure to explain.
I kicked the door open and pressed the button on the E:ID phone.
[Make it to equip!]*
I grabbed the SF cannon and jumped down the steps.
That moment.
“Haibo, Twys!”
““ One, two!! “”
Haibo and Twys who seems to have been waiting in front of the doors pulled a rope taut and it caught the fake Marquis’ feet.
Though it’s a simple trap, even he was caught by surprise and rolled down the steps.
“All three of you get away! I’ll blow him off with everything I’ve got!”
The moment the fake Marquis tried to get up, I yelled.
[Action!!]
KABOOM!!
There was a thunderous roar and a shell flew.
And a disorienting flash brightened the residence.
As the darkness of the night returns I saw a crater behind the black smoke.
I saw red things burning here and there, telling me that even minerals caught alight.
The enemy should’ve been done in with this… but I might have gone too far.
I looked around after I calmed down, and it seems a bubble had appeared to protect me.
I should set a barrier first next time.
“Amazing…. the stairs got blown away”
“Are Haibo and Twys alright?”
In the direction Mist pointed, there were Haibo and Twys running.
“It seems I can defend, too”
“You did well to contact them”
It was probably because it was those three that they could grasp the situation within the short time and act.
She sounded troubled.
“Ah, I, I’m not regretting it, no! But…, huh?”
“………………………, Y, Yuu-kun”
“What should we do, that guy, isn’t dead yet”
BANG!
A carbonised hand stretched out from underneath the crater.
The carbonized, pitch black body became a giant that does not bear the slightest resemblance to the time it took on the form of Marquis Isky.
Its head was at about the height of a basketball ring.
“Y, Yuu-kun. You can shoot that thing again… can’t you?”
Mist asked me timidly.
You idiot.
I’d have done it already if I could….
