Chapter 37: Rasetsu
(TN: Man-eating demon in Buddhism)
4 prey
At first, I thought they were knights who came to subdue us
But when I came to find out, it's only 4 people.
One of them got a very long sword.
The rest...
A guy with a hood over his head and a weird dagger in his hand.
A little boy with nice equipment and shaky hands.
And a woman who looks like she's just a kid, but in good shape.
The black one holds up his sword.
"Oi, kill him first."
"Okay!"
We tried to show mercy, but it seems it was in vain
"Why would you choose death?"
"If it was just luggage, there would have been room for choice! I can't hand over this woman! Because she's mine!"
"Then die. Do it!"
Thirty to four.
Of course, we're gonna win.
We were supposed to.
"Here... you go!"
Three people attacked at once
But when the man swung sideways, all three of them were blown away from the waist up.
"Wha... what..."
“Who would be stupid enough to come at a long sword at once?”
You've got to be kidding me!
You're the idiot one!
Even if it's leather, they're wearing armor!
He killed three people with one swing.
"If you get frightened, the battle is over. Gather your courage and come attack me!"
"E-everyone! Everyone attack!"
Everyone slashed at him
"No... learn from this"
Another man dies.
One of my men stabs him through the gap.
But the blade doesn't pierce through
"A sword of such poor quality, it won't even cut through a cloak."
"Geh..."
Another man is dead.
Before I knew it, his longsword was carried by one hand.
"What, what are you!"
"No need to tell you!"
Every time he swung his sword, my men died easily.
Before I knew it.
It was my turn
---------
"Hehe, want to be our partner, missy?"
"Yes, I will be your partner. Please enjoy yourself."
"Hehe... that's so cute. I'll make you cry tonight with my big sword..."
At that moment
The head of the fellow beside me cracked open vertically.
The woman remained motionless with her hands raised in the air.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I don't like such vulgar words..."
“K-kill her!”
Nine men attacked one woman.
"You'll never catch me if you don't at least have some kind of flying weapon."
Did she jump?
She was using a hatchet to climb up a tree.
"You son of a bitch! Come down here!"
"I don't want to. I'm a scout."
The woman waves her hand down.
Another one's head cracks open.
"What the hell! Where in a world a scout throwing a hatchet and cracks people's heads open!"
"Is that so? Then let me use another weapon."
Immediately after that, something flew.
"Guah! Shit. It hurts!"
There's a machete flying.
The handle has a string attached to it
“Using a hatchet would make one die easier. But if you don't like it, I'll be using this one."
She threw machetes at us repeatedly from afar.
One more died from a machete to the head.
"I think I should consider the angle of the machete... like this..."
The machetes come flying in arcs, as though they had a mind of their own.
"Damn it, kid, don't get carried away!"
I used my comrade as a shield.
And grab the machete that's stuck in him.
“I got you! Now! You guys, what are you doing!"
"What are they doing?"
"W-why..."
The rest were already dead
Knives stuck in their throats and chests
"I'm sorry. I don't have much time, so I had to use other weapons."
"Ah... ah......"
This ain't no woman.
"Please help. Please let me go..."
This person is a demon
"...Let me ask you something. Have you ever spared someone begging for their life?"
"Ah! Yes! I have! That's why!"
"I'm just asking."
The machete digs deep into my left shoulder.
"I hate bandits and thieves. I just want them all to die."
As it is
My body went cold.
