A small amount of aura is circulated throughout my entire body.
My physical abilities are strengthened, and I kick the ground with my sword in one hand.
I approached the bandits who were swarming in front of me.
“So fast.”
I attacked the leader of the bandits.
As expected, the first move was blocked. My sword clashed with the man’s sword and made a high-pitched noise.
“even though you’re just a kid. But in the end, you’re a kid !”
Geeeeee !
I repelled the attack from the leader. Even with the use of aura, my arm strength is lower than his.
It seems that I’m losing in terms of the amount of power I release.
Compared to Sister Norn, we’re not even close to being good enough for each other.
“You too. I thought it would be easier to win.”
“You little shit !”
This time, the man kicked the ground and came at me.
The aura is cloaked in a weapon and attacks with dexterity.
This way, the weapon has the property of reinforcement. It is not easy to break.
Reading his movements, I dodge to the left and right.
The opponent’s arm strength and aura technology are better than mine, but my swordsmanship is superior. It is not a speed that I can’t avoid.
“Tsk ! Hey, you guys ! Surround him and kill him quickly !”
“One against many. That’s not fair.”
“You got a problem with that?”
“I do. But I don’t care.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“The members of the Duke of Salvatore will not be defeated.”
I moved forward to meet the man’s advance.
The man’s movement, caught by surprise, was slightly delayed. I avoided a blow with an off-track trajectory, and then I threw a knee kick with all my might.
“Aghh !?”
Even if he is protecting his body with aura, if I hit him with the same aura, I can at least do some damage, right?
The man rolled backward, drooling.
“Leader !”
A woman who had been deployed beside him shouted.
What, there is a woman too? It doesn’t matter what sex you are.
“Just as well, you’re next !”
Ignoring the man on the ground, I spin around and turn to the side. Ahead of me, there is a woman who has raised her voice.
Making a grin that is both smug and wicked, I change my target to the woman. I hold my sword and kicks the ground.
“!”
The woman stiffened at my approach.
I wondered if she didn’t have much experience in actual combat. Not good, you can’t join the bandits if you’re not prepared to kill people.
You’ll lose your life soon.
“Oops.”
I slit her neck.
The wound is shallow because she moved back slightly.
“You’re moving a little slow. I don’t know how you got here.”
In a fight to the death, you have to let go of your gentleness and hesitation. Those who don’t will be the first to die. As you can see.
She clutched her neck and stepped back. Blood was flowing.
From the looks of it, she would probably die in less than a few minutes. I immediately turned my gaze to the side.
“You son of a bitch ! How dare you hurt my friend !”
Ahead of my eyes, I saw the leader of the group standing up.
He was coming toward me. He has his sword ready and is ready to kill me.
Yeah, that’s good. It’s a pleasant killing spirit.
I sometimes dodged the man’s sword as he swung it around, and at other times I defended myself by bouncing it.
He was so angry that he forgot himself. That’s not going to hit me.
“Haha ! You bandits are angry because I hurt your friend !? You turn your eyes away from the people you have killed, raped, and kidnappe !?”
“Shut up ! We were just struggling to survive ! What’s wrong with that !?”
“It’s not wrong. That is the nature of human beings and society. After all, people have no choice but to live selfishly.”
That’s what everyone does.
The more people think that it is natural not to do bad things, the harder it is and the more difficult it is to live a decent life.
“I’m going to affirm you. It’s not your fault. It’s nobody’s fault. You’re not at fault—so just die. Because it’s not my fault either.”
I delivered a blow with maximum aura to the leader of the group, who was carelessly rushing toward me.
The man, who was too late to defend himself and could not avoid me, received a large slash wound from my blade.
The wound extends from his left shoulder to his right hip. It was a fatal wound.
The man’s sword falls to the ground with a thud, pouring out an overflowing amount of blood.
Next, the man with a look of anguish on his face also falls to the ground.
L-leader……”
The man’s men who were surrounding me were crushed in the head and were shaken.
Where was the killing intent just now? It’s not fun to kill a stupid little fish.
Whatever.
“I’ll kill you all for now, but if you tell me a story about your client, maybe I’ll let one of you go?”
I tapped him on the shoulder with the side of my sword. Come on, hurry up.
I suggested, but his companions answered with their swords at the ready. You’d rather resist to the end and then be killed, huh?
“Fufu. That’s good. That’s the way it should be.”
[You’re so strict with others, Luca.]
“I’m not.”
I’m rather tolerant. I rarely get angry, and I respect other people’s wishes.
But I give the criminals the punishment they deserve.
“They are criminals, no matter how they try to dress it up. Even if they haven’t killed before, they are trying to kill me now. It’s naive to think that someone in a position to kill is not prepared to be killed.”
If you take up a sword, you die. If you’re going to kill, kill.
That’s my value system, a kind of rule.
Conscience? Law? Extenuating circumstances? What’s that?
Reality is always unreasonable. It has nothing to do with me.
[Hmm. I agree with that idea, but…fufu. Luca, you’re not like a child.]
“Shut up. I’m only eight years old.”
The conversation also has a lot of swords in it.
The other side seems to have finished their preparations. They are waiting for me to make my move.
–But.
“Hm?”
Before I could kick the ground, I heard a loud sound coming from a little distance away.
It was a dull sound. Perhaps this is…..
“Footsteps?”
At the moment I muttered, a huge bear ran up the mountain path from behind the blizzard and came toward me.
It was a demon. It’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !”
“D-demon !”
Seeing the huge bear monster, which was probably twice the size of a human, the bandits all chose to retreat at once.
They shouted and retreated, dragging the bodies of their companions and leaders with them.
But the bear demon was very fast.
In no time at all, it closes in on the bandits and opens its vicious mouth–gulp.
One by one, the bandits are devoured.
Some are ripped apart by the claws. Some were ripped apart by the claws, and others were eaten straight up.
A screaming inferno was unfolding before my eyes. I watched it leisurely,
[Luca. Don’t you have to run away? That thing is strong.]
Lilith said next to me.
The corner of my mouth lifts up in a smile.
“I’m not going to run away. The members of the Dukes of Salvatore are not allowed to run away.”
[What’s that?]
“It’s the family motto. It sounds stupid, doesn’t it? But it’s the truth. If I keep running away, I’ll never grow up.”
Step by step, I move forward.
I went to the demon that was munching on the bandits I had killed and readied my sword.
“I’m going to kill it. I’ll kill anyone who gets in my way.”
Our gazes met.
