“Kyahahahahahahahaha I see you!”
“Kh……!”
A loud, deafening laugh comes out of his huge mouth.
In front of them was the figure of Wilfred, with countless hands growing out of his body.
A huge humanoid figure over ten metres long, lying on the ground like a beast, hundreds of arms stretched out on the ground to support the huge body. The face of the predator was stuck to the surface of the tentacle-like arms, and the face of the predator’s victim had a look of grief and despair.
Apparently, he got ahead of them as they were fleeing through the woods.The giant’s eyes, glowing with madness, were fixed on Justy and Neferte.
Justy stares at the giant in front of him and whispers to Neferte behind him.
“Your Highness Neferte, I’m here…”
“Justy, don’t tell me to run away alone. I’m not going to leave you.”
Neferte, sensing what Justy is about to say, assures him in a nervous voice.
“I’m not in a hurry to die, but……I’m not going to run away without my allies again. Either we run together or we fight together.”
“…That’s right.I understand”
Justy nodded at Neferte’s determination.
If it were possible, Justy would like Neferte to escape: that was Justy’s intention. It is unlikely that the giant in front of him will wait until he has persuaded the stubborn prince.
Then…..the best thing to do is to wield a weapon and fight the enemy in front of them.
“Knights of the Apocalypse Wilfred. You will be met by this Thousand Horsemen, Justy Oigist!”
“Neferte Athena! I am here to avenge my father and my country!”
Justy holds up his spear and Neferte his greatsword.
Wilfred did not interrupt them as they took out their weapons, but smiled as he wriggled his arms out of his body.
But when he saw the sword in….Neferthe’s hand, he frowned slightly.
“That sword……is the holy sword of water, isn’t it?”
“…..That’s right. It’s the Holy Sword of Water, Mistilteinn. That’s why you came after me, isn’t it?”
“Ahahahahahahaha! This is good, this is great! I’ve got a head start on Nee-san of plague!”
Neferte’s answer was met with a roar of applause from Wilfred.
Hundreds of hands sprouting from the giant’s body clapped together, and the eerie sound of applause echoed through the forest.
“Ahahahahahahaha! Now I can win the praise of Queen Osman! I’m sure Oji-chan [War] will be very disappointed when I take the holy sword he let escape. Well, Well!”
“Do you think you’ve won? I’m not going to let you have this sword!”
“So brave, So cool, it’s………but it’s impossible, okay?”
“……..!”
One of the arms that grew out of Wilfred’s body extends. Ignoring its joints, the arm stretches out almost ten metres in an instant and strikes Neferte.
He was sent flying backwards and hit a tree on his back, but he could not withstand the impact.
“Kahwa …..!”
“Your Highness, Neferte!”
“What’s a kid like you got to protect?? You are a child who has abandoned his country!”
“…How dare you harm His Highness Neferte!”
Justy slams his spear into the outstretched arm.
The blade at the tip of the spear severed the long arm in the middle, but….it wasn’t Wilfred who screamed.
“Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
It was the face of a man floating over Wilfred’s body that cried out in pain. The man was crying tears of blood from both eyes and was screaming with his toothless mouth open to the limit.
Apparently, the damage done to his arms was done to the victim of Wilfred’s predation. Justy’s expression twisted painfully as it screamed in agony.
“A-aa..He bullies the victims who have done nothing wrong. Onii-san has no blood or tears, does he?”
.”…..How dare you whip the souls of the dead?You call yourself a knight, but you have neither pride nor mercy in your heart.”
“Mercy……? Mercy? If the people who call themselves “knights” had such a thing, we wouldn’t have been born!”
A blood-curdling shout. Apparently, the words Justy had spoken had pierced Wilfred’s heart more than he had imagined.
Justy does not know what happened to Wilfred in the past that made him become an apostle for Witch Osamn.
Justy doesn’t know that Wilfred’s only sister was raped and murdered by a knight when she was still human.
Justy does not know, despite Wilfred’s pleas, the knight who killed her sister was never punished and that Wilfred was captured by the authorities and starved to death in prison.
He knew nothing.
“… without fail”
Therefore, Justy took up his spear.
He sensed the fury in Wilfred’s heart and decided to face it head-on.
“I understand that you have a deep grudge. But……I am also a knight with a lord. I’m not going to be eaten alive here!”
“I don’t care about your situation! You destroyed the kingdom of Athena, and I will bring you to justice!”
With a shout, Neferte slashed at Wilfred with his greatsword.
Neferte, who should have been struck down, but with frightening agility, made contact with him and cut off several arms with his greatsword.
“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”
“Forgive me …..I’ll be releasing you now!”
Neferte, with a sorrowful look on his face, swung his huge sword, which was as tall as he was, with ease, and cut off Wilfred’s arm.
Justy and even Wilfred peeled their eyes in amazement at Neferte’s handling of the huge sword, ignoring its weight.
“This superhuman strength…are you the holder of the Holy Sword of Mistilteinn?”
“I have not been chosen by the Holy Sword! But even if ……the Holy Sword doesn’t choose me, you’re here and I’ll kill you!”
“Don’t get carried away! That’s why I hate kids!”
Wilfred’s numerous arms writhed and tried to catch Neferte like a sea anemone preying on a fish with its tentacles.
However, a wall of stone protruding from the ground blocked his arms from catching Neferte. This is the magic that Justy has invoked: the stone wall.
“Kuuuu..!”
“I won’t let you! Do not forgot that Justy Oigist is here!”
“Stay out of my way! You fake knight, you’re annoying!”
Wilfred extends his countless arms to attack Neferte and Justy.
If caught by those arms, they would be preyed upon and absorbed like the other victims, becoming part of the horrible monster.
“I won’t let that happen! I will protect His Highness Neferte!”
“Haaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Justy barked and swung his spear to cover Neferte, who slashed at the enemy with a burst of energy.
