“S-Seti, the Grim Reaper!”
“Kill him, Gyaaaaa!!!”
“S-strong! Too strong, Ughh!!!!”
I infiltrated the royal castle and mercilessly beheaded and buried the assassins on guard.
Other assassins who rushed to the scene come towards me, but they are no match for me.
As I thought, the people in this castle are all low-level minnows.
I don’t even need to go to the trouble of 《Biological Reinforcement》, I can fight well enough even in my bare state.
I slaughtered most of the assassins and entered the audience chamber.
In order to save the leading figures of the King Rotakka and the Duke of Muharand, who are believed to be in the audience chamber, I went into the audience chamber.
As expected, about five assassins are also waiting in this room.
Among them is a dwarf fairy tribe called Pomple, who is working with Alta.
“You are all organised, aren’t you? Gently release the king and his close companions. I’m telling you, being a hostage is meaningless to me.”
I point the blade of my dagger at Pomple and his men, who are covered in blood.
They were trembling as they huddled around King Rotakka and his overlords by the wall.
“Hiiiiii! Seti, the god of death! It’s not good! Alta aniki, come quick, come quick!”
Pomple screamed and threw the black object in his hands into the air.
The object flaps its wings, escapes through the open skylight and flies into the sky.
“…. Is that a secret raven? You went to report to Alta. …… Well, that’s convenient. By now, my companions will have rescued Queen Eliza, who is locked up in an underground prison. Your takeover plan has failed. Now, you will be quiet and let the kings go.”
“If I release them, will you spare our lives?”
Pomple asks, his big eyes moistening.
As a dwarf fairy, he is short and looks like a cute little boy.
He’s probably a year older than I am in real age.
“No. I will kill every assassin in Hades, no matter who they are. That’s what I’ve decided.”
“Hiiiii! It’s impossible, isn’t it? I’ll get killed in a heartbeat anyway! I can’t do that quietly! let’s negotiate a bit!”
“What benefit is there in this world by keeping you guys alive? If you’re going to break out from the organization, you’re no longer my target. That’s it…”
“So you’re saying that if I leave the organisation, I won’t be killed?”
“That’s what I’m saying. But you have caused such a commotion. You will be tried according to the law of the state. It’s probably a capital punishment anyway.”
“Are you an idiot? No matter how it goes, nothing but death awaits me! It’s better to keep resisting in vain!”
“Then die. I’ll finish you in an instant.”
I clutched my dagger backwards in both hands and gradually closed the distance between us.
Pomple and the assassins slurped, “Hiii! ” more shrunken and frightened.
“D-Don’t come! Alta aniki! Come quickly! You’re as slow as a hero even if you’re a small-time villain! I don’t need that kind of teasing! Anikii!”
“–Shut up! I’m not a small villain! I’m a super villain!”
A man’s voice echoes from behind me.
I looked over and saw Alta standing alone in front of the open entrance.
There seemed to be no other companions.
Unexpectedly, he arrived too soon.
“….. Alta. Are you alone? I’m pretty sure you have about 50 men with you?”
“Seti the Reaper,…… I’ve missed you. I left my men behind. In fact, none of them can keep up with my legs. They’re just low-level assassins.”
“Assassins as subordinates? Alta …… really Alta?”
I ignore Pomple and the others and turn and stare at Alta.
The figure is Alta, but something is different.
I felt as if a huge evil atmosphere was covering his body.
This atmosphere …… is like…
“It’s like Mors. That’s what you want to say, isn’t it, Seti?”
Alta’s tone changes.
The voice is still his, but it is clearly a different personality.
“Y-you’re …… Mors? boss! What do you mean! You’re saying Alta is Mors!?”
“Come to think of it, you don’t know who I am. No need to be polite about it. Seti, you’re mine anyway ……, but if I explain it to you nicely, I’m now half Alta and half Mors.”
“Excuse me? You’re possessed? What are you?!”
“No need to know! Seti! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you myself!”
He shouted again in Alta’s tone and drew the ‘Magic Sword Ansalar’ from the scabbard at his waist.
A moment later.
–Zach!
Alta stepped in and closed the distance with me in the blink of an eye.
He swung the magic sword sideways at high speed.
“Ugh!?”
I quickly retreat, but the sharp pointed blade touches my throat.
A slight but seeping hot pain was felt.
A small trickle of blood dripped down.
That was close.
This guy is definitely faster than he was before …….
He moves like a different person.
“You have a good expression, Seti? You have a look of surprise on your face, don’t you? It’s true, you’re strong. But because you are too strong, you tend to underestimate your enemies …… and that is also your weakness. That’s what Mors, your foster parent, says~”
Alta says with a grin.
I lightly clicked my tongue and showed him.
“I admit that I was caught by surprise. But even if you’re smug with a graze wound of this level, ……”
“You don’t get it, ……, do you? It’s not like I’m at full strength right now——Seti, if you don’t get serious, Alta won’t be defeated.”
Suddenly the tone becomes that of Mors.
It’s so eerie that I almost lose my temper.
“What are you up to, boss? Why did you bring Alta into this?”
“Alta himself wanted this to happen. I’m only helping him on the basis of our contract. …… And we share a common goal.”
“Goal?”
“- you, Seti. Alta wants your life. And I want your body.”
“M-My body? What do you mean?”
“Your body is a work of art that I have worked so hard to perfect. So I want it back.”
“… I don’t know what that means?”
“I say you don’t need to know. Because you will die here today, Seti.”
As Mors says this, the assassins come streaking out from behind him.
There are about 50 of them. Apparently, the men he left behind have caught up with him.
“Alright, you guys! Kill Seti, the god of death! Whoever kills him gets 10 billion Gs! Plus, I guarantee you the highest executive position!”
He returned to Alta’s tone of voice, raised his ‘Demon Sword Ansalar’ and gave instructions.
“Ooooou! Kill Seti the Reaper!”
“For the sake of the organisation, finish off the traitor…!”
“We’ll all split 10 billion Gs! The highest executive, hahahahahahahaha!”
The assassins shouted with hostility and desire.
They took their respective weapons in their hands and attacked me at once.
Unlike those who attacked me earlier, they are all very powerful.
“Reaper Seti! I’m telling you, these guys are uplifted by being with us, the bosses, and they can draw out their potential! They’re not your average mooks!”
Alta says confidently.
In short, the presence of Mors may temporarily augment the level of low-level assassins.
But anyway.
“It doesn’t matter. A thousand of you is impossible to defeat me.”
I run at full speed, swinging the daggers in both hands in all directions.
It was like a giant tornado, engulfing everyone in its path.
Several heads of assassins danced in the air and fell one after another to the floor.
“D-Don’t move, Reaper! We have hostages over here.–Gyaaa!”
“I said it doesn’t matter.”
The moment the assassins surrounding the King Rotakka were about to turn their blades on the king, I had already gone behind them and cut off their heads.
Witnessing the scythe unleashed by the god of death, the King Rotakka and the overlords were in shock.
Although they were taken aback, I thought it was better than them making a fuss, so I reopened the door.
However, I couldn’t see Pomple, who was supposed to have been there a moment ago.
I realised that he was with Alta.
“Pissy Pomple, your work here is done. I’ll let you go and you can go back to Pasha.”
“Yes? Alta aniki, is she alive? is my sister still alive? Hey, please stop using the nickname piss pomple!”
“No, and don’t play dumb. I am speaking as Mors now. If you die here, Pasha will be very annoyed later. You ‘Four Pillars of Hell’ must unite, for the sake of the …… organisation.”
“…… Alright, boss. So long!”
In the midst of the battle, I don’t know what they are talking about, but suddenly Pomple rushes out alone and slips out of the audience chamber.
The dwarf elf tribe is quick and blindingly fast.
No choice, I decide, I’ll just have to let him go.
More than that -.
“H-help me, Boss! Gaaaahhhh, ……!”
I slice the last assassin’s head off, causing it to splatter with fresh blood.
Along with the blood splatter, several red drops are also dripping from the ceiling.
The white, clean audience chamber had now turned into a sea of blood with the remains of the assassins.
In such an out-of-the-ordinary space, Alta and I face each other.
“Only you remain, Alta!”
“Seti, the god of death! Today I’m going to end my fate with you!”
