A figure dressed in a maid’s outfit, but with arms transformed into sharp blades, stood amidst the carnage. The fresh blood had stained her white blades red, and her emotionless, icy face resembled a grime reaper.
The Dragon soldiers inside the tent, already disoriented and unable to resist, scrambled to escape. But even in their sober state, they were no match for 86, who possessed a full B-grade body, let alone in their drunken “alcohol” state.
Like a ghostly assassin, 86 became a proficient killing machine, swiftly reaping the lives of dozens of soldiers within just a few breaths.
By the time Eileen and Renji entered, there were only two living people left in the tent: Gumo, the ‘Relic Wielder’, and the cat girl slave tied to the wooden stake.
“Hey, hey! Leave some for me!” Eileen, carrying her bloody red greatsword, complained to the maid, who had returned to the young man’s side.
[Understood, 86 will try to become the number one maid by your side next time] replied 86, who aspired to replace Eileen as her master’s number one maid.
“I’m not a maid!”
[HAHA* Smile*]
“***&FG!”
‘Well, at least things were getting lively around’
Renji sighed and then turned his attention to the main subject. .𝒎
Don’t misunderstand.
The “main subject” he was looking at wasn’t the ‘Relic Wielder’ Gumo, but the cat girl slave on the wooden stake.
Unfortunately, Renji’s action seemed to completely infuriate Gumo. For some unknown reason, a rage ignited within Gumo, inflating his pride as a ‘Relic Wielder’ to the point where he couldn’t stand Renji’s disregard, let alone tolerate the two women bickering in his presence!
Although he was ambushed and faced frighteningly powerful enemies, his logical course of action would have been to flee. However, Gumo chose to fight.
“I warn you! Even though my ‘Relic’ is not of the combat type, it’s more than enough to deal with you ants from the Holy Kingdom!” Gumo shouted at Renji and the others. In response to his shout, the blue light that had saved his life before, shining from his chest, intensified. When Gumo took it out, it was revealed to be a stone pendant.
“Hmph, I bet you bumpkins have never seen a ‘Relic’ before, right? Today, I’ll make sure you understand the price of offending a ‘Relic Master’!”
After Gumo finished his mocking words, he was about to do as he always did, contact the Relic in his hand and activate its “teleportation” power to instantly appear behind Renji and stab him in the back, the guy who had been irritating him.
However…
The stone pendant in his hand was still flickering, and it felt even stronger than before. But the problem was…
“How can this be? Why isn’t it responding to me? It’s impossible! This… it’s you! What have you done to my ‘Relic’!!”
Gumo raised his voice by several octaves, finally diverting Renji’s attention away from the Catgirl.
Renji glanced at Gumo, who was frantically trying to activate his Artifact and questioning him.
The young man couldn’t help but crack a smile.
“How should I put it? It’s been a long time since I encountered such a classic villain like you. Kind of nostalgic, almost don’t want to let go.”
“You…”
“Never mind, go ahead and use your ability again. I’ve given you permission.”
Renji shook his head helplessly, as if to say, “Fine, fine, stop whining.”
And when Gumo once again activated his “Relic,” he had a triumphant look on his face because the stone pendant in his hand had actually responded this time!
He sneered in his heart, wanting to show the young man the consequences of arrogance, wanting to…
Swoosh!*
A flash of blue light, the Relic’s power activated, and Gumo successfully teleported behind Renji. Although there was a slight deviation in the distance, as if he had taken one extra step, it didn’t matter. He could easily cover that distance in an instant. Gumo held a dagger in his hand and was about to pounce on Renji’s back to stab him viciously.
‘Huh?’
‘Why can’t I move my legs?’
‘Hold on…’
“Where are my legs?”
Gumo looked down, seeing his empty lower half, his entire body sliced in half as if it were a cross-section.
At this moment, Renji’s voice came at just the right time.
“Oh, it seems I forgot to teleport your lower half. Oh well, let’s leave it like this.”
Thud!*
At that moment, the intense pain finally reached Gumo. He stared wide-eyed and then looked at his lower half, which hadn’t been teleported along with him, lying on the ground where he had just been.
It seems that after tonight, the number of ‘Relic Wielders’ in the Dragon Nation will be reduced to 41.
Having dealt with the troublesome side character, Renji could finally focus his attention back on the “main character.”
The cat girl slave, tied to the wooden stake. was shivering. Her fearful eyes looked at Renji and the others, her tail twitched nervously on the ground, and her two fluffy brown ears were tightly curled in fear.
Eileen was the first to approach her.
“Don’t be afraid. We’re not those bastards from the Dragon Nation. We’re from the Holy Kingdom. I’ll untie you, and soon you’ll be free!”
Perhaps moved by the girl’s voice or sensing Eileen’s lack of hostility, the cat girl weakly thanked Eileen in a hoarse voice.
“Thank you… you…”
However, before the cat girl could finish speaking, Renji’s voice from behind broke Eileen’s “heroic entry” scene.
Renji: “Wait a minute.”
“What are you doing?” Renji questioned the approaching girl.
Eileen : “Hah?!…Untying her?”
“This is our spoils of war. Why are you untying her? If she runs away, do you want to replace her as my companion?” Renji scolded.
“What? What are you talking about, old timer? Hiss… wait a minute, you… you’re not thinking!”
Eileen, whose hands had been slapped away by Renji, finally seemed to understand something and stared wide-eyed at the young man.
Ignoring Eileen, Renji took a step closer to the Catgirl and showed no intention of rescuing her.
After all, 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚
He always walked the path of darkness!
‘Look at those small, fluffy adorable cat ears, the tense little pads on her cat paw hands due to nervousness, and the fluffy tail… This is pure bliss!’
“Judging by your development, you’re probably not even an adult yet, right?”
Renji turned to the Catgirl’s side, leaning down slightly, and whispered in her ear.
The heat from the young man’s breath hit the fuzzy fur on the cat ear, causing the Catgirl to shiver all over. Her ears started trembling due to fear, and this time, she was truly terrified.
Especially with the ominous laughter that followed from Renji as he continued.
“Hehehe! Do you know, my dear? This big brother here…. loves Catgirls the most!”
