Chapter 51: An Unchangeable Fate
The plan is already working, and even if the SAR garrison wants to do something more now, the fate of the city will not be changed.
Although it was a little hindered, it was a good opportunity to attract the attention of the guys. As long as he is used as a decoy to cause chaos in the SAR garrison, the success rate of the plan will undoubtedly increase. Even his current idea may be part of Shaozo's plan.
In any case, the opportunity for revenge against the SAR garrison that took away his companion is about to come. Put a fried one in the middle of the city." You can't solve it with your strength. ”
"What!?"
The man looked behind him in a deep voice at the unexpected sound.
The owner of the voice was a young woman. On top of the water supply tower on the roof, a woman stood.
It was a short woman who looked like she would be mistaken for a young girl, dressed in an exaggerated costume, and holding a parasol in the middle of the night. And the innocent and neat face looks like he is looking at a cute puppet. This gesture, which was incompatible with this place, made the man feel a burst of horror for no reason.
"Until now, there is still a bargain like an analog wireless initiating device that has not yet been encrypted. It's a shame that I haven't gone off the fire until now. ”
Spinning the small remote-like machine in the palm of her hand, the woman whispered mockingly.
The man's expression convulsed when he saw this scene, and the machine that the woman with the parasol was fiddling with was the detonating device of the explosive bomb he had just held. What kind of trick was used, this woman, even let him, as an orc, get close without noticing, and took away the detonating device.
"Demon Attacker, how did you catch up with me?"
The leopard-headed man narrowed his golden eyes and glared at the woman. The woman hid her mouth and laughed sneeringly.
"You guy, do you think you can escape from Ben **? There must be a degree of arrogance, wildcat."
“…… Less carried away, little girl! ”
Faced with the figure of the woman who laughed mockingly, the leopard-headed man's voice became furious. He pulled out the knife he wore on his belt and slashed at his right wrist. It was done with the intention of cutting off the wrists that were shackled in chains and allowing the body to regain its freedom. The woman holding the parasol spat out a voice of admiration with a "ho".
"Hmph, as a wild cat, you have a backbone that can make people look good. Looks like Christophe? Gardexiu's subordinates, the old immortals of the Black Death Emperor's faction, it's really hard for you to cross the sea to come here."
“…… Kill you! ”
Blood spurted from his right hand, and the man roared.
Even for orcs with high healing powers, it is not easy to fully restore a severed wrist. However, even with this level of sacrifice, there is a necessity to bring down this woman who does not know her true face here. In order for their plan to succeed, can't they put this young assistant who knows them - Christophe? The woman with the name of Gardesius left it alone.
Immediately tearing his wrist open, the man rushed towards the woman holding the parasol with the explosive acceleration characteristic of an orc.
There is not even the need to rely on knives, and the strength of orcs is also outstanding among the demons, and a weak human woman like this can tear her to pieces even with her bare hands.
But even though she knew this, the woman with the parasol still smiled gracefully.
"It's useless, you-"
The man reached out his fingertips with a hooked claw and touched the woman's slender shoulder. At the moment when he thought so, the woman's figure seemed to sink into the water, leaving beautiful ripples and dissolving in the void.
"What...... What!? ”
The leopard-headed man turned around with a stunned expression.
The woman gracefully raised her parasol and moved to the roof of the next building, a dozen meters away.
There was no sound, no breath, not even a single hair shaking. It's all a split second.
It was reminiscent of a mirage in the desert, but the woman's presence was definitely not an illusion.
The beating of the heart.
Breathe.
Body temperature.
Smell.
The sense organs of the orcs, who boast hundreds of times the accuracy of ordinary people, tell that the woman is a real existence.
She is undoubtedly a human with a physical body.
"I've already said it, you can't kill me......"
Laughing teasingly, the woman snapped her fingers.
Huge ripples appeared in the vast space around the man. By the time we discovered that the ones that looked like ripples were high-density magic arrays, it was already too late. Countless silver chains emerged from the void and struck the man like a conscious snake, binding his whole body.
"It's actually a space control magic ......!? How can it be! Such a skill can only be done by a high-level magician who is proficient in this way! Why do little girls like you ......!? ”
The man who fell to the ground with his whole body bound by chains trembled and let out a stunned sound.
But the woman didn't say a word, folded her parasol, and let out a sigh that seemed boring. Looking up at her moonlit face, the leopard-headed man groaned under his breath.
"I see...... You guy, is it Nangong Nayue!? Why are you here!? Haven't you killed enough demons, you "witch of the gap"......! ”
"Oops, oops...... What a mouthy wild cat. ”
The woman holding the parasol spat out coldly. With a slight flick of her hand, the wrist of the leopard-headed man, who had been severed, emerged from the empty void and rejoined his hand seamlessly.
What was this doing, the man turned his hateful gaze to the moon. Natsuki looked back at him expressionlessly.
"Don't worry, it's not a kind treatment, it's just a temporary treatment to suppress bleeding. It would be bothering to say that you die before you can get the necessary information. ”
“…… Do you think I'm going to tell you about my companions? ”
"I don't think that Christoph either? Caldesius didn't tell you the real plan. ”
"What do you mean......?"
That month didn't answer anything, and turned his back to the wavering man.
"What are the terrorists in the "War King Domain" planning to do in the "Demon Special Zone" in the far east like this? I'm interested, but I'll leave the interrogation to the guys in the SAR Garrison. Don't look at me like this, I'm still very busy, and I have to prepare for tomorrow's class. ”
"...... preparation for the course?"
The leopard-headed man was puzzled by the fact that the month was completely out of step with the occasion.
With the alias of "The Witch of the Void", she made the European demons tremble with fear, but she was a high school English teacher, which was unimaginable anyway.
Gently, leaving ripples in the air, the figure of that moon disappeared. There was only one figure left there, bound by chains and lying to the ground.
**, spit out vulgar words, and the man laughed under his breath.
That's right, nothing will change. Even if he is arrested here, the situation will not change at all. Everything is going on as planned, and even a power like the "Witch of the Void" can't change the future.
In any case, the fate of this city is to perish.
The leopard-headed man, bound by silver chains, continued to laugh in the dark.
The moon in the middle of summer also quietly illuminates the streets that sleep peacefully in the middle of nowhere.
……
Before dawn -
Three hundred and thirty kilometers away, in the waters south of Tokyo, a ship is sailing leisurely. (Markne)
