I am not a returner Episode 303
Sky Mountains (9)
Is it about 3 meters tall?
It was a magical beast that looked like an exquisite mix of a leopard and a bull.
A body as slender as a cat and rough-shaped horns that don’t match it.
Fast, strong, flexible, yet sturdy footsteps shook the ground.
“....”
The moment I saw the black demonic beast walking through the thick fog, I knew it intuitively.
‘Strong.’
More than any demonic beast I’ve ever faced.
[I am my child.]
Vega’s anxious voice was heard.
I wanted to at least brag and tell her not to worry in order to reassure her.
In front of the red glowing black magic beast, it was not easy to let out even boastful bravado.
“Hehe! “This kid is Behiring!”
Felice naturally stands on two feet with her arms crossed, even with the body of a cat.
The Behemoth walked next to her, its eyes shining viciously, and it lowered its body as if it was ready to pounce at any moment and bite Ojin’s neck.
It doesn’t look too cute to be given the cute nickname ‘Behering’.
Ojin bit his lip while holding Dantalian in the form of a spear.
“Huh? “Are you really planning on fighting Behiring?”
Did you think he would tremble as soon as he saw the Behemoth and surrender to become its butler?
Ojin chuckled and aimed the spear he was holding at Behemoth.
“I told you, right? “I have no intention of becoming an apostle of ‘satellites’ or something like that.”
“....”
Felice’s expression distorted grimly at the word satellite.
She scratched the floor nervously with her sharp nails.
“If you... didn’t smell so good, I would have just killed you.”
Does that mean I have no intention of killing him yet?
It was a welcome sound to hear.
If Behemoth had decided to rush in to kill me, I wouldn’t have the confidence to last long.
“Behring! “Even if I cut off the limbs, I can just reattach them later, so please take care of that guy’s hands!”
“...You’re trying to find a butler, right?”
This crazy cat didn’t just eat the Donggang Donggang fruit, but cut off its limbs and reattached them.
“Krrrrrrr.”
A Behemoth glaring at us while crying fiercely.
As I stared into those blood-red eyes, a chill of fear spread down my spine.
This was not the first time I encountered the ‘Holy Spirit’, a being that inherited part of the constellation’s soul.
Because right now, Riak was the same spirit as Behemoth.
If we were to consider the actual ‘status’ between the Holy Spirits, Riak would be stronger than Behemoth.
but.
‘Riak can’t exert his strength due to the restrictions of the law.’
In comparison, Behemoth will be able to use all of its power without being restricted by the law.
Even though the Constellation uses the ‘sanctuary’ in a place that is not a sanctuary, it is fine, because there is no way that the Holy Spirit, who is subject to significantly fewer restrictions than the Constellation, will not be able to use its power.
[The main woman will give her blessing....]
“That’s it.”
Due to a reaction to the blessing given a while ago, Vega is now unable to use the blessing.
Perhaps, if I force the blessing, I might be bound by chains of light like last time.
[Ha but!]
“It’s okay. “You say you have no intention of killing me.”
As long as you don’t die, you can stand up.
Even if my arms are cut off or my legs are torn apart.
You can fight.
[What kind of nonsense are you talking about?]
“Vega.”
Ojin grinned and walked towards Behemoth.
“You know me.”
Although some of them are just lies of a fraudster.
But that didn’t mean that everything she had seen of herself so far was a lie.
Ojin stood in front of the Behemoth holding a spear.
Just looking at those fierce red eyes makes my legs tremble.
Nevertheless.
so that.
“come.”
I have no intention of backing down.
“Krrrrr!”
Coo!
The ground is shaking.
Before I can hear the sound of the earth cracking, a dull shock hits my body.
“Wow!”
[....]
Vega watched with his fists tightly clenched as Ojin flew away, spurting blood.
“Hmm, you’re not helping me?”
Felice approached Vega as if offering medicine.
“You boasted about it being the constellation of the North Star, but in the end you just watched without being able to do anything?”
Felice giggles and mocks Vega.
Felice was excitedly mocking Vega as if she had seized the opportunity, but in fact, she knew it too.
As long as there are restrictions from the law, all Vega can do is just watch.
Of course, you can use your power despite the restrictions of the law.
“Wasn’t he such a precious child?”
What kind of crazy constellation would throw a gamble that could lead to the extinction of existence itself in order to save one human being?
The responsibilities and obligations given to the North Star constellation are enormous.
There is no problem with the disappearance of a ‘satellite’ whose starlight is faint, but if the North Star disappears, the entire sanctuary will be in great confusion.
Although I’ve never seen it in person.
The Vega that Felice knew was a constellation that would never make such a choice.
[...No.]
Vega calmly shook his head.
“What do you mean it’s not?”
[That child is a precious child who must be protected even if the true woman’s existence disappears.]
“Huh?”
Felice snorts as if telling him not to talk nonsense.
“You just talk about a topic that doesn’t do anything!”
All the constellations are the same.
He was obsessed with a superficial reputation and deceived his ears with lip service.
These old guys are so frustrating.
Felice watched the battle approaching its end with a bitter sneer.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
Ojin’s body, hit by the front paw of the Behemoth, flew backwards as if bouncing.
The damage already accumulated in his body is considerable.
There were fingernail marks on his chest that were deep enough to expose his ribs, and his left leg was torn off below the knee.
It was such a fatal wound that it would not be surprising if he died immediately.
“That’s enough!”
Felis, who decided that Ojin would die if he continued any further, stopped Behemoth.
The Behemoth, which had opened its mouth to bite Ojin’s fallen arm, suddenly stopped moving.
“Krrr.”
Behemoth licks his appetite and closes his mouth as if he is disappointed.
Felice looked down at Ojin, who was lying covered in blood, and raised the corners of his mouth.
“Are you thinking about becoming my butler now?”
“....”
“What? “Did you faint?”
As if her excitement had cooled down, Felice turned her head towards Vega again.
“If you don’t want to see your child get hurt anymore, give up!”
[....]
Vega looked down at the fallen Ojin in silence.
“joy! Are you ignoring me again?”
[...Ah.]
Vega nodded with a short exclamation.
[That’s really what she said.]
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
“...What?”
[Did you say you liked my child?]
“I only chose you as my butler because you liked the smell.”
[It smells... hehe.]
Vega laughed softly, covering her mouth.
Felice frowned at her incomprehensible appearance.
“...Why are you smiling?”
[no. Now I know for sure.]
Vega looked back at Felis and had a cold sneer on his lips.
[You really don’t know anything about your child.]
“What do you mean?”
Crumbling!
At that time, Behemoth’s urgent voice was heard.
Felice turned his head towards where the Behemoth was.
Ojin, who thought he had fallen and fainted, was now raising his upper body, holding the Behemoth’s mouth and horns with both hands.
Ojin, holding Behemoth’s head, tilted his head and opened his mouth wide.
“What are you doing now...!”
Felice opened her eyes wide.
Before her words continued to the end.
Quack!
Ojin’s teeth dug into the Behemoth’s red eyes.
