EP.369 Brick House (Part 2)

“If you don’t want to die, get out of the way!! There’s only one person I can truly take your life from!!”

“Huh, huk… …!?”

“What, what are you doing!? Don’t back down! The battle lines are getting tangled up!!”

“Hey, he’s coming!”

For a moment there was great confusion in the ranks of the soldiers.

Those who faced Blanc head-on stumbled as they tried to run away in a panic, or fell on their butts due to their legs giving out, and those who were behind them also got entangled in them and collapsed.

It was a phenomenon that even Blanc himself, who was preparing for a melee at that moment, was slightly flustered.

– … … Wow. You use up all that Fear in that small body. I’ve never seen anyone else use it except for you, Captain.

“Peer? This is it?”

– Even my body feels tingly, so please refrain from doing so. Honestly, isn’t the picture funny?

Despite being confused in many ways, Blanc faithfully carried out what he had to do.

He grabs the helmet of the man who is exposing the back of his head as he tries to escape, lifts it up, and throws it at the soldiers.

A giant wolf burrowed straight into the place where the formation completely collapsed after a 70kg biological shell flew in and slammed into it.

Boom!! Dozens of soldiers fell to the ground at the same time from the shock that the criminal could not withstand. A few spearmen managed to muster up their courage and stabbed him with their spears.

Blanc asked, lightly catching it.

“You stabbed him?”

“Hee- Hwaaaaak!!”

The soldier who was sent flying through the sky with his spear for the sole crime of showing courage screamed.

Blanc’s grip tightened as he tried to help the other spearmen escape from this dangerous battlefield into the sky, and he could sense a fierce murderous intent among them.

Yes, it was about time he came. Instead of throwing his spear, Blanc lowered it and blocked the blade that was coming towards him.

Blue Executors… … .

– What the hell are you guys doing!? Can’t you see them running wild in there! Shoot!!

– But, Archbishop. If you keep shooting like this, the soldiers… … .

– It’s just collateral damage! No, the one in the line of fire was the bad one to begin with! Just shoot them!!

Tata tata tata tang!!

The gunfire that had paused for a moment in front of the soldiers’ bulkhead began to ring out again.

At the same time, there were also screams of confusion from soldiers who had been shot by their own forces.

Blanc, who had been briefly confronting the blue enforcer, took out his silver sword and asked.

“Do you really think it’s worth listening to that thing? I bet it’s killed more of your men than we have.”

“… … He is the one whom the law has commanded us to follow. And we do not question the law.”

“Yeah, you guys were that kind of guys!!”

Blanc gritted his teeth and struck his sword away.

Regardless of his true intentions, he has decided to follow evil of his own free will, so there is no need for any more tolerance or mercy. It would be right to cut him down with a silver sword.

But things didn’t go as planned.

Because I had a chance to corner the blue enforcer, but I couldn’t stab him with my sword.

– Wedge!

“… … Huh!”

Blanc groaned as he turned his body to ward off the sharp blow of a spear flying from behind.

The power contained in the javelin was unusual. It seemed that another blue enforcer had picked up the soldier’s and thrown it.

Just as the window was about to be knocked down, a heavy mace was swung from the side again.

If I hadn’t lowered my head in a hurry, my head would have burst open along with the broken helmet.

“this……!”

– More are coming!!

Again the longsword comes for the arm, the spear comes for the wolf, and the mace comes for the head.

With more than two arms, it was impossible to deal with all attacks. Evasion, not defense, was essential.

But every time he retreated to evade, another blue one would arrive to attack him, and the wall of soldiers blocking his gunfire grew thinner.

I just hope that he runs away and not dies.

“Ugh… ugh, ha! Kaha… … !”

Even opponents that are quite difficult to defeat on their own are now overwhelming in numbers.

Even with the guns that had a clear line of sight, they started firing at me a few times, and now I couldn’t hold out any longer.

After dozens of attacks and defenses passed in an instant, Blanc was soon cornered in front of the fortress walls.

– No more, no more… no more room to hold on… … !

“I know. Damn, I’ve felt this before… Those Executors are the most annoying when they’re working together… … .”

“I didn’t misspell “scary”?”

The words I blurted out without expecting a response somehow got a response.

A voice that is so irritating that just hearing it makes you angry.

“Ira.”

“Add ‘The Great Fourth Archbishop’ to that, you unbeliever and uncultured wretch.”

I can see the face and hear the voice, but in this situation, it is at a distance where the sword cannot reach.

Ira said, as if she was truly relieved.

“Ah, really… I finally caught you. You bug that disturbs the peaceful night. Now that I’ve cornered you with nowhere to run, you look even more pathetic.”

“It’s nothing, La. You seem quite surprised to say that. Well, you almost got your throat cut by me, so you must be afraid. I didn’t know that even your own troops would shoot without hesitation in order to corner me… … .”

“Shut up!”

Ira’s face turned red in an instant, and then she smiled brightly and said.

“Hehehe… You can only say that now, you stupid monster. Don’t you wonder why you’re still alive?”

“Because you’re incompetent?”

“No! It was all intentional. A mongrel and subversive like you deserves a proper punishment… and death is too much for you!”

“Hoo.”

“Fortunately, I know a lot of ways to show you hell while you’re alive. Normally, I’d just send you to Remen, but… that’s not enough for you. First, I’ll brand your annoying tongue, drive iron rods into your limbs, and pickle you in salt to purify you. Once I feel you’ve broken my heart enough, I’ll let you participate in the reformation work. It’s really embarrassing, but since your face looks half-as-half, there are plenty of volunteers who want to reform you—”

“Is this crazy guy’s aesthetic sense as broken as his mind? What’s so half and half about it?”

Blanc said in a truly disbelieving voice.

What’s with the face? Is that what you’re talking about with the goblin right now?

But when he looked down at his adjutant as if asking for consent, he saw that he too was looking at Blanc with a strange expression on his face.

While Blanc was flustered for a completely unexpected reason, Ira clicked her tongue and waved her hand.

“Ah, that’s enough. What do I regret that I should talk to a guy like you? Anyway, from now on, we’ll have way too much time to talk.”

“… … .”

“Look forward to tomorrow. It will be a new, very enjoyable day, different from any other day… … ?”

Ira’s words trailed off in a questioning tone.

For some reason, the monsters, who now had nothing left to do but make meaningless boasts, were looking up at the sky.

“What are you… doing?”

“Ah… I was checking the time.”

“hour?”

While Ira frowned, Blanc pointed to the sky and said.

“Middle heaven. No matter how late it is, I have a definite answer that I can do it by the time the moon rises.”

“that is…….”

Before Ira could finish speaking.

A strange noise was heard from underground.

Crack, crack, crack… It sounded like something hard was carving away at a rock.

Blanc smiled brightly at Ira, who was wide-eyed.

“Hey. You really don’t think… you thought I just walked in here with this werewolf without thinking about it, did you?”

“what…….”

“What was needed was a way to distract the senses. You and the other soldiers may not know it, but the senses of the Executors can never be ignored.”

Even as Blanc continued speaking, the sound from beneath the ground grew louder.

As if it was coming up from below.

“I had to make a fuss. A fuss so big that I wouldn’t be able to pay attention to the small rumblings coming from underground… Honestly, I thought it would be hard. Just me and this werewolf, how much of a fuss could I make?”

“……what.”

“But I trusted you. If I, and not the wolf, were to attack, I knew you, who had nothing but your damned power, would respond with all your might.”

“What are you talking about…?”

“Fortunately, you lived up to my trust. You were more timid, ugly, and stupid than I thought. I never thought it would turn out this well.”

“Aren’t you going to ask me what I’m talking about!!”

“Okay, I think it’s okay to answer now.”

Blanc said, lowering his thumb to the ground.

“The foundation work has to be done solidly, you piece of trash!!”

“T-T—huh!?”

Kkukkuk… thump, krururung!!

The ground beneath the wall where Blanc had been gathered caved in, then collapsed, creating a massive fault.

The walls, which had lost their support ground, also began to shake violently and collapse, and the chain of collapse spread uncontrollably throughout the fortress.

In an earthquake of that magnitude, anyone who was standing on the ground, including the archbishop, could not have been safe.

The soldiers who had formed a siege were scattered in all directions, and Ira, who was crawling on the ground in a cruel manner, was caught by a blue executioner and barely managed to escape to the top of a building.

The White Enforcers, judging that this was some kind of emergency, opened fire to end Blanc’s life, but the ground was shaking and their aim was difficult.

Tata tata tata tang!! After deflecting only the fatal bullets from all directions with my longsword.

Blanc looked down, not forward.

“It seems like it came just in time!”

“Hehehe… Wolves are known for digging holes as well as running through the wilderness. Are you okay, Nari?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve ridden a wolf, so I feel much more refreshed than before.”

“A goblin… riding a werewolf? Oh, is that the guy I told you about before… …?”

Dozens of werewolves began to crawl up, led by Yael, Tirascia, and Nelivia, who were covered in dirt from the fault.

I saw Ira’s face turn pale as she was catching her breath from afar.

Yeah, I guess so.

In the flow of the story he had unraveled, the wolves were clearly destined to perish.

That’s the story when the background of this stone fortress was intact.

After the underground was ruthlessly dug up by werewolves, more than half of the buildings that make up the fortress have sunk underground… Can we really say that the background is intact?

Blanc couldn’t figure it out.

But it seemed like they didn’t know what would happen in the future either…

“Okay. With this… we’re equal.”

Blanc laughed ferociously and raised his sword.

“Welcome to being a character in a story where no one knows the ending, Ira. How does it feel to not be guaranteed a happy ending?”

“──What the heck! What do you know!? Nothing will change! All I have to do is kill you all!!”

“That’s really something I like… … .”

The werewolves, including Yael, also laughed ferociously.

“The arrival of the big, bad wolves. Tell me where the terrors of the night come from.”

“Kill them! Kill them all!!”

With a scream that was almost like a scream from Ira.

Wolves that had been circling the night rushed at their prey.

It was the beginning of a real battle.
