Chapter 436: "Humanity"

Chapter 436: "Humanity" “Humanity”

* * *

...It was a while after the Red and Blue Kobudai Allied Forces left the resting place.

The pile of rocks... the remains of the cliff that collapsed from Kobdaroze’s desperate body slam... shook with a ‘Gatari’ sound, and then the next moment...

BOOOOM!!!

It was blown away with such force, as if an explosion had occurred, accompanied by a roaring sound!

“............”

Amidst the dust and smoke rising into the fog, Emi Rune, the traveler, slowly emerged from the epicenter of the explosion.

There was not a single scratch on her jet-black armor or beautiful white skin.

In the end, although Kobdaroze’s body slam had successfully bought them some time by creating an opening and landing a blow on Emi, it didn’t inflict any significant damage.

Now, after freeing herself from the rocks that had fallen on top of her, she rotated her neck and shoulders, brushed off the dust from her head and shoulders... then held up the prey she was holding in her right hand and stared at it.

That prey... is the brave warrior, Kobdaroze, who risked his life for his comrades and tried to stop Emi.

Although he’s unconscious and rolling his eyes, he’s still alive.

He twitched again, his body convulsing.

“............”

Guuuuuuuu...

Emi’s stomach growled.

Drool overflowed from her mouth, a single strand dripping down, sizzling and dissolving the ground.

And then, holding Kobdaroze with both hands, Emi opened her mouth wide, and was about to bite into his belly...Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

But it was at that moment...

<<<N-No... Kobdalian...>>>

Kobdaroze muttered in his sleep, telepathically.

<<<Protect... I’ll... Kobdalian...>>>

“............”

Hearing those delirious mutterings, Emi involuntarily stopped moving.

‘Kobdalian’.

She remembers that name.

The big, slightly burnt Kobudai she faced earlier called himself that.

So you could say that Kobdaroze is very lucky.

<But the Kobudai perceive you as an enemy. When this Kobudai in front of you wakes up, won’t he attack you? Is it okay to let him live?>

Extra-sama was dissatisfied with Emi’s idea.

She’s still recommending that Emi eat Kobdaroze.

But Emi shook her head again.

She’ll deal with it when the time comes, she thought.

After all, this Kobudai in front of her, he did his best...

...But ‘that’s all he was capable of’.

These Kobudai are no threat to her.

Emi was convinced of that.

If they ever fought again.

Then she would just mercilessly kill them all.

So, for now, in deference to this brave warrior in front of her.

She doesn’t know what that Kobudai horde, calling themselves the ‘Allied Forces’ or whatever, is planning to fight.

But she might as well help them out a little.

Because she still has that much “humanity” left.

Having decided on her future course of action, Emi sniffed the air.

And she detected the lingering scent of Kobdalian’s... distinctive “burnt smell”.

Leaving Kobdaroze, still unconscious, where he was.

She started running towards where the Red and Blue Kobudai Allied Forces went...

* * *

Now then...

“I might as well help them out”.

“If they become enemies again, I’ll just kill them all”, that arrogance, thinking so lightly.

Is that truly... “humanity”?

There’s no one around her to point that out.

Emi Rune just keeps on... rolling.
