(That Fly King......)
At the time of my first attack, he reacted even faster than that Princess Knight.
In terms of physical speed, that Princess Knight is probably superior.
Thatâs why the Princess Knight blocked her strike.
However, when it only comes to their reflex speed......
The one who became aware of my existence and tried to move first was that Fly King.
Heâs dangerous.
That exchange between Ferenoch and the Fly King.
Until the moment when she unleashed that âParalyzeâ spellâââ
Everything Fly King said was the truth.
Normally, when someone tells a lie, there would be a very subtle sense of discomfort mixed in with their words.
That was something Iâm able to sense.
Not just instinctively, as it was a practical skill I could always make use of.
However, Fly King didnât have the slightest sense of that discomfort until before he said that word.
Until just before that moment, he probably âbelievedâ in it himself......
That just like what he said, he is one of us.
He is deceiving everyoneâââ- including himself.
Heâs abnormal.
Heâs extremely abnormal.
If it was only him that was speaking, Fly King would have fooled me too.
However, Seras Ashrainâs reaction made me see through his lie.
That Princess Knight isnât as skilled in acting as the Fly King.
Well, she seems to have a noble soul.
For a person like her, it would be difficult to say something as truly allowing the Sixth to have their way with her body.
Itâs just, yes......
I could have saved the Sixth when I saw that it was a lie.
I could have approached them and tried to kill them.
However, I did not.
Thatâs because my first priority is âto figure out the unknown power the Fly King possesses, Sorceryâ.
Cutting off the Sixth, I made the decision that would allow me to acquire that information with certainty.
To have a firm grasp of the enemyâs cards before I make my move.
âDonât you have any emotional attachments for the Sixth Cavalry?â
If I were to be asked such a thing, I could only shake my head.
Itâs just that weâve been fighting together until now.
As for what occurred to them......
I could only think that something unfortunate happened to them.
Eventually, I think that the battlefield would be alright even if Iâm by myself.
Therefore, the feeling of âavenging my comradesâ never really occurred to me.
However, they sure are useful.
Thanks to them, I was able to somewhat determine the true identity of his Sorcery.
I turned my gaze to Ferenoch and the others that were groaning on the ground.
Looking at them......
âWell done.â
That was what all I could think of.
[..........................]
It was a good decision to have the Divine Beast waiting in another place, away from here.
Fly King seems to be on the right track.
The things we did to the Dragonkin soldiers might make the enemy angry.
At the very least, one of the Four Warlights, beings that should be considered as their Generals, had been defeated.
It is possible that they will send their main force to the Sixth in response.
Thereâs a chance that Mad Emperor and his Miraâs elite troops, their collaborators, may come.
So, using the Sixth as bait, me and the other cavalrymen would enter the door with the Divine Beastââââ
Thereupon, weâll kill the Mad Emperor and whoever crosses our path.
Killing anyone that could be called their King, weâll take away the decision-making authority of the Faraway Country.
Not a bad idea, or so I thought.
However......
Something I hadnât expected at all occurred.
That Fly King needs to die here.
My instincts are telling me.
Heâs âjust likeâ me.
He resembles me.
He feels similar.
As if Iâm looking at my own reflection.
Indeed, there are differences between us.
We have a lot of differences.
However, that Fly King......
The essence of this person is the same as mine.
Iâve never felt this way about anyone else before.
Not even to âHumanityâs Strongestâ, who shares the same blood as mine.
I thought I was the only one âlike thisâ in this world.
However, I was wrong.
For others âlike himâ to exist......
Ghhhâââ
I feel like puking.
In fact, Iâm already vomiting out here.
Why the heck am I looking at âmyselfâ standing over there?
Especially as my enemy.
It was the first time I encountered someone like him.
An existence so close to me.
Looking at him makes me puke.
Moving of âhis ownâ accord.
Acting of his own accord.
How disgusting.
I feel sick.
Iâm feeling really nauseous.
I canât allow him to exist any longer.
As long as he exists in this world......
I feel like Iâm fighting this disgust in my heart.
Bleerrggghhhh......
Ughh, disgusting. Can I just deal with him later?
No, that wonât do.
I have to kill him here and now.
I have to kill him as soon as possible, no matter what.
Bleeerrggggghhhhhhhhhh......
As soon as possible, right now......
However...... It would be bad for me to lose my composure here.
Stay calm.
In fact, I can barely keep my cool.
Yes, I need to keep my mind focused.
If my senses is disturbed too much, my recognition inhibition would be cancelled out.
That was the only thing I had to avoid.
I must endure.
[....................]
Swallowing down the thought of puking again, I take a good look at my opponent.
As someone with the same nature as me, Iâm certain that he isnât someone mediocre.
Fly King would definitely have something in mind.
Even now, he must be searching for a way to attack me.
Thus, he will do something.
Iâm sure of it.
......Would you look at that......
He already thought of something.
Sorcery.
Even if I had seen through its properties.
Iâm sure heâll use it at some point.
I havenât ascertained all of the effects of his Sorcery.
And if heâs going to use it...... It would be a Sorcery that he hasnât used yet.
(Even so, for them to block my attack...... As expectedâââ)
It seems that this disgusting nauseousness is dulling the sharpness of my skill.
However, as soon as it settles down, the sharpness of my skill should return......
That said, Iâm not going to sit around and do nothing until then.
In the meantime, letâs wait and see to grasp the enemiesâ habits and characteristics.
Even if they could block my attacks, there is still a lot of information I could gain from them.
Remaining vigilant, Iâll attack once again......
And search for the opening.
And once it appears, kill this being with the same nature as I am.
This feels like Iâm commiting suicide.
How funny.
No.....
This ainât funny at all.
