Surviving a Harsh Fantasy with Cheat Items Chapter 95.1

Published at 1st of April 2022 03:06:43 PM

「Let me help you, hero.」

While fighting the super demon king Brynie, a blond man in a green robe appeared from the shadows of a building along with two entourages.

It was the king of thieves, Wake. He’s holding a magic rifle which means Lyle-sensei has given it to him.

There were many things I wanted to ask him like, why is he here and when did he get the magic rifle from sensei. But this is not the time for that.

However, there is still something that I must ask.

「Wake, you’ve waited for me to be cornered first before appearing to appear cooler, right?」

「O-of course not! I’m only here because the other party is the Germania Empire. This is war cooperation!」

「Well, I don’t really care. If you can do something about this, please do so!」

「Leave it to me. I’ll slay that monster using my magical bullet of rebellion!」

Holding the magic rifle, Wake used his magical bullet of rebellion that pierced through Brynie’s brain.

Oh, amazing.

「It seems like your sensei has bestowed holy magic to my magazine using holy water in advance. It’s super effective against the evil demon king. On top of that, my magical bullet of rebellion has added a punch to this magic rifle making it the “true magical bullet of rebellion”!」

I don’t care what kind of naming sense he has as long as he defeats Brynie.

However, as expected of Lyle-sensei. He already thought of a countermeasure against Brynie, the super demon king, and made a move.

While Wake shot several more times through Brynie’s body, one of the dark swords disappeared. It seems like the shot hit the demon king’s core and damaged it.

Even in a pinch like this, Brynie, who continued to follow Freed’s order, managed to hold us back longer than expected.

「Leave this to me. Go and finish the war.」

「Sorry, Wake!」

While Wake is shooting and holding Brynie down, I had Oracle-chan hold me up and rush into the building.

In the room behind the entrance, Lyle-sensei and Prime Minister Nicola, who had just won in a magical battle, are surrounding and are about to kill the Germania’s court mage Jenny Walpurgis.

Jenny is just a woman if her instantaneous movement magic is blocked by the dispel magic of Prime Minister Nicola, who is as strong as her.

“Bang”, Lyle-sensei’s magic rifle fired.

Jenny was shot on her body and fell down.

「That shouldn’t be enough!」

Another series of “bangs” echoed through the building. The fallen Jenny’s body shook with each shot. Sensei, she’s already dead.

I don’t think you should be doing that sensei since we still have to deal with Freed. There’s no point in shooting the corpse of Jenny.

「Ahahaha! All the advance mages of the empire are dead! DEAD!」

Nope, totally trigger happy.

Sensei only returns to sanity when he’s out of bullets.

「Kyaaa!」

A scream came from the inner room.

I rush to the room to find the slave girl gunners, who resisted Freed and shoot him, were about to be attacked with the sword of light.

To protect the other slave girls, Suzanne and Claudia both set up their black cedar shields.

However, in front of Freed, who wielded a sword of light and a sword of darkness, the shield, which was harder than steel, was useless.

Freed, without hesitation, slashes Sharon, who stands in front of him to protect the girls.

Sharon was slashed!

「Freed, you son of a bitch!」

「Fufu, you really care a lot with your slave girls.」

Freed kicked the slave girls away, and held the neck of the white-robed, cape-clad Queen Silhouette, who was at the deepest part of the room. He placed his sword of darkness against her neck.

「Then, how about this, Takeru?」

Freed, who was cornered, took the queen hostage. He’s no longer a hero nor a demon king.

He’s just a lowly villain.

「Don’t you think you’re being too cowardly to use a woman as a shield!」

「Cowardly? I could cut off the queen’s head right now. I’m very merciful for not doing so.」

「This is not something a hero would do. You’ve fallen that far, Freed.」

「It looks like Brynie has been crushed by you. It’s not a bad idea to make the queen my puppet instead.」

He’s no longer listening.

Freed can only speak of his own desires. I wanted to cool his head and speak with him rationally but he already had lost his mind.

Suddenly, I notice that Silhouette, who is quietly being held hostage, is signaling me with her eyes.

I guess it’s a signal to get attention.

I swung my sword of light in a grand gesture toward Freed and approached him.

Freed, who seemed to have been intimidated by that, pointed the sword of darkness toward me while holding down Silhouette.

「There is no point in doing anything more, Freed, you lose and you know it!」

「You nagging small fry!」

Freed increases the power of his sword of darkness.

The murky glow of the black flame that’s wrapping it seemed to reflect Freed’s raging heart.

「Now, let Silhouette go and surrender!」

「Fuhahaha. After defeating you, it’s my win. I’ll take Queen Silhouette as my wife. She’ll be the wife of the most powerful emperor in the wor… Ugh!」

Freed wasn’t able to complete what he was saying.

A loud gunshot rang out and Freed was hit by a bullet making him stagger back.

Queen Silhouette, with her cape wrapped around her, fired her hidden magic rifle at Freed’s leg from point-blank.

That takes a lot of courage given that Freed is holding her.

The hard orichalcum armor protected Freed so even if he was shot by a magic rifle at point-blank, he won’t be killed.

Queen Silhouette points the muzzle to Freed, who frowns in pain and falls to his knees.
