371 - - Episode 31 The End of the False C

Nya~......"

The underground dueling arena where he also fought with the fake Gila.

Because it was originally created by Ellie, it has very high anti-material and anti-magic capabilities, and is very robust.

It should not be damaged by ordinary attacks. ......

It was so battered and bruised from the Aoyuki vs. fake "C" fight that it looked as if it would collapse at any moment.

I looked around the dueling grounds once again and called out to Aoyuki.

Thank you for your hard work, Aoyuki. You did a great job.

No," he said. In the end, I could not fulfill the Lord's command. I hope I can atone for this punishment in any way I can."

Aoyuki gets down on one knee on the spot and hangs her head apologetically.

Not only her, but Fenrir, Phoenix, and Cerberus followed her down.

............"

I look at the reason for her concern.

The fake 'C' that I had ordered to be captured for information purposes had begun to disintegrate from the tips of its limbs.

Even after Aoyuki caught up with him, he continued to resist to the end, even though it was obvious that he was insane and had no chance of winning.

In order to capture Aoyuki, I used the "Beast Chain" and the abilities of my subordinates to further chip away at the fake "C," but ...... that became a problem.

Normally, it would not be possible to reduce its own life until it is gone, but the fake "C" has lost its mind.

He treats not only others but even his own life with disdain, so he uses his power without any hesitation at all.

As a result, rather than capture him, the fake "C" continued to rampage until he had used up all his own life.

(But I watched the fight with the power of the "Infinite Gacha" card, and I don't blame Aoyuki at all. It would be impossible to restrain a fake 'C' that rampant. ......)

At first, the fake "C" was defending itself with its unintelligible power, but from the middle stage onward, Aoyuki was pushing from beginning to end.

If the fake "C" had a normal head, he would have understood that he could not win, and would have either admitted defeat or taken some kind of action to escape.

However, the fake "C" was literally going on a mad rampage just to kill Aoyuki and his men.

The opponent is on the same level 9999.

No matter how crazy he is, he is not a half-hearted opponent.

It would be too much to punish Aoyuki for not capturing the fake "C" with this.

I went up to Aoyuki, who was hanging her head, and patted her head.

Aoyuki, raise your head, there is no ...... punishment. I knew from the beginning that the fake "C" was crazy, but I never imagined that he was so crazy that he would not even care about his own life. If Aoyuki can't do it, there's nothing anyone can do to incapacitate and restrain him. If anything, you did a good job of taking him down without causing any damage."

Nyah~"

Obeying my voice, she looks up and imitates the purring of a cat.

I stroke Aoyuki's cheek and then under her chin as if I am working on her.

She squinted her big eyes happily.

While I was working on Aoyuki, I turned back to Mei and Ellie, who were standing behind me.

Ellie, you take care of the rest.

Please leave it to me, Lord Light.

I know you don't have the strength to resist anymore, but be careful. Mei, Aoyuki, please stay alert so that we can always be covered."

Awe, Master Wright.

Nyah!"

Ellie walks over to him to read the false "C"'s memories.

Aoyuki has weakened him considerably, so Ellie won't have the strength to resist him now, but she instructs Mei and the others to be on the alert in case.

Naturally, I also became more vigilant with my cane in hand.

Ellie touches the head of the fallen fake "C" in order to read his memory.

"What?

But she immediately moved away from the fake "C" and held her mouth with a blue face.

I call out to her, wary with my cane in my hand.

Ellie?"

I'm sorry, too, for showing you my flippant ...... appearance. But ...... it is impossible to read his memories. It is impossible to read his memories, because he is too crazy to read his thoughts. I don't know how you, Aoyuki, can stand to fight such a sickening madness.

Nya!"

Aoyuki stretches her thin chest as if boasting.

Because he was able to withstand the madness of the fake "C," Aoyuki is probably not more loyal than Ellie.

In Aoyuki's case, the madness of the fake "C" was probably transmitted through the "Beast Chain.

Ellie looked into the madness of the fake "C" directly.

It was just the difference between the two.

Ellie took out a handkerchief, held her mouth, and said with a blue face.

The only thing I could find out is that he has become so mad because of the murder of his lover. It seems that he hated the person he killed and wanted revenge."

Avenge ...... revenge?"

I myself have come this far because I swore vengeance on the members of the "Gathering of Tribes.

Therefore, I can't help but look at the fake "C", who seems to have wanted revenge until he went crazy, with a slight sympathy.

However, Ellie interrupts her gaze and says, "I'm not sure I can do this.

But I feel some discomfort with his desire for revenge.

Uncomfortable?"

Yes, sir. It is true that you seem to have a strong desire for revenge, to the point that it makes me sick. ...... I had a strange feeling, a sense that I was being told to be this way. It's just what I felt, so I'm not absolutely sure. ......

Strange?"

I've never been exposed to such crazy thoughts before, so maybe that's just how I feel. It's just my opinion.

He flapped his hands and shyly repeated his words.

As Ellie makes a cute move, the lips of the fake "C" move slightly.

Thanks to our enhanced hearing, we were able to hear his words.

Yurika, I'm sorry. I can't avenge your death..."

Unable to finish, the end of the word is snatched away and disappears.

The "Yurika" was the lover of the fake "C", and since she was murdered, he must have been sealed up, wishing for revenge to the point of insanity.

(Though she had such deep feelings for him that she let out words at the moment of her death, Ellie felt 'strangely, as if she was being treated this way?)

Of course, as she said, this was the first time Ellie had been exposed to the memories of someone so deranged.

It is possible that she misinterpreted it that way because of that. ......

I myself feel a strong sense of discomfort at the simultaneous existence of the crazy desire for revenge, a strange feeling, and something that is inherently irreconcilable.

The body of the fake "C" is completely reduced to ashes.

Thanks to this, it is no longer possible to extract information.

Since it is difficult to pursue the matter any further, I change my mind and give instructions.

...... Mei, collect the ashes of the fake "C" and bury them carefully. Be careful not to treat them roughly.

Awe."

May bowed and carefully collected the ashes with the "Magic String.

She was not handling something unimportant, but was gathering the ashes for the burial of a precious corpse.

She turned her gaze behind her.

Now, let's get on with the next task. Tin, Rock, sorry for keeping you waiting.

...... (full)"

I'm sure your partner won't be waiting for you. Don't worry about me. Now, let's get to work and free our prey.

Oh, for God's sake, Rock.

I look down at Volos, the first prince of the Fiend Nation, the prey that Tin and Rock have captured.

He was crouched on the floor, unable to speak, having been deprived of his physical freedom by Tin and the others.

I could not extract any information from the fake "C," but he was the one who had abandoned his country, fled, and supported Doc's research, who had continued to torment my brother.

I would be able to extract a lot of information from him.

I would get a lot of information out of him, even if it had to be by any means necessary.

I couldn't help but look down at him with a cold smile.
