“I didn’t want to kill animals for experiments. I must kill you.”

Naru and Cecily liked animals.

I don’t need to explain how much affection Naru’s familiar, Moru Moruna, and the ragdoll cats Cecily raises in her room are received.

Maybe Hina likes animals too.

Maybe that’s why, it was also true that I felt a bit hesitant about killing the demon dog Orthor.

The black eyes were strangely bright.

However, after hearing the strange mantra, the dog’s eyes, which began to run rampant, were red with all the veins bursting, and blood was oozing out.

Truly mad.

Rather, it looked painful.

“I won’t let you go.”

I hit the dog’s scruff vigorously with my sword.

– Gag-gang-!

-That amount-!

The demon dog collapsed on the floor with a short scream and wriggled.

it’s obvious

This was the only way to calm down the suddenly rampaging test subject.

Wouldn’t you just ask me to ask something?

When I was slightly worried, the stadium door opened.

Does that mean I can go out?

As I stepped out of the cage, El Cladeco put a white gown on me.

El said with great admiration for wearing it roughly.

“Your karma has been updated. It’s a small amount, but it’s definitely higher than before.”

“Yeah, because I killed the dog.”

“It’s amazing. Judas, it’s not easy to build up karma when you reach your level. It’s because karma doesn’t accumulate for a few things. This data will help.”

It’s difficult to understand because there are many difficult words, but the higher the level, the less experienced it is, right?

On the other hand, am I on the higher level of experience?

Is there a difference in physical constitution in terms of experience?

“But as expected, the demon dog Orthor has its limits. If it’s a stronger opponent, come Crimson… , I only have about Cyclops… .”

Crimson Ogre.

Cyclops.

They were all strong monsters.

However, I decided to be honest.

“Even if I solve them all at once, I can’t even warm up. Are there any stronger opponents? It’s just an experiment. I also want to run at full power.”

An opponent worthy of making me use my strength.

To be honest, it wasn’t much, but it wasn’t too bad either.

“Enkidus, would you like to face it?”

The Grand Master said to Enkidus.

Enkidus had been keeping his mouth shut for a while, but I wondered if he was practicing the practice of silence, which he often does.

“Is it sparring with Enkidus?”

long time no see.

With that feeling, Enkidus and I entered the cage.

“… … .”

match-.

Enkidus claps his hands and puts his palms together.

I always felt this way when I was fighting with him.

“It’s been a while since I fought with you. Don’t look at me this time and fight.”

“… … .”

Enkidus stance instead of talking.

Standing upright with both heels attached, one hand behind the waist and the other hand showing the back of the hand to me.

pat-.

At the moment when he was learning the form of the posture in his head, Enkidus raised his foot high.

Feet rising to the ceiling.

It hit hard and rushed toward the floor.

Whoops-!

I remember that it was probably a technique called ‘Jingak’.

The effect was so great that the steel floor of the arena, which hadn’t collapsed even when Orthor ran wild, was crushed.

The impact shook the ground like tofu.

I lost my balance for a moment, and before I knew it, a fist like an iron ball was approaching my face.

“Write-.”

There is no time to defend.

I just have to fit in as painlessly as possible.

I twisted my body in the same direction his fist was coming from.

Kwaaang-!

As if I had been hit in the face by a cannon, there was a great impact, and I was blown away and crashed into the camera installed on the wall.

“pole.”

I’m sick.

However, before I had time to adjust my posture, Enkidus spurred the floor and pounced on me.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo-.

A series of hits so fast that it seemed as if the number of fists had increased.

Was the name of the technology incandescent?

“As expected, there is no law to look after it!”

I focused on avoiding as much as possible.

However, the cage in the arena is already almost half destroyed.

“Wait a minute, the damage of the test site… .”

Woo woo-.

Even the speakers lost their light, and everything in the arena was finally plunged into darkness.

dark darkness.

“Enkidus, you made a mistake. you are weak in the dark Don’t you know that this is my stage?”

I asked.

As he tried to move his body, thinking that he could not answer, he heard a familiar voice in the dark.

“Now there is only a gap. Power will be restored soon, so let’s keep it short. Judas, it seems that the younger monk had the wrong idea.”

“What are you talking about? What are you thinking wrong?”

Woo woo woo woo-.

Then the stadium lights returned.

As the camera started blinking again, I felt like I knew why Enkidus had destroyed the arena with his destructive technology.

I guess you wanted to give me that one word to avoid surveillance.

“Since the machine is damaged, we will suspend the experiment for a while. Today’s experiment ends here.”

* * *

“That was it.”

evening time.

I told Garot, Brigitte, and Salome what had happened today.

Brigitte, who had been listening to the story for a while, asked.

“It’s a simple experiment. And is it really over?”

“Because it is. Well, they say that today’s experiment collected a much larger amount of information than the data from the past three years or so.”

L was very satisfied, but for me, to be honest, I didn’t do anything, so it was just that.

When I and Brigitte were all silent, Garot, who had been silent for a long time, asked.

“The demon dog, Orthor, is a strong monster. I’ve also hunted a few. But the sudden berserk really bothers me.”

is it.

It certainly bothered me when I heard it.

Forcing a monster to go mad.

asked Salome.

“So, who won the fight with that idiot?”

Salome seemed to care about who won the fight between Enkidus and me.

Come to think of it, Salome is always interested in things like ‘win and lose’.

Well.

It was impossible to say who won because the field was almost destroyed and the match was stopped.

“Maybe now I can win.”

I am strong now

However, there was a ‘feeling’ that was not clear.

Guy Enkidus, even though his level is lower than me, I feel uneasy that he won’t be able to easily win against me.

The feeling of hiding a hand.

But it was nonsense.

Other people might not know, but Enkidus hides something in his heart——that’s an impossible story.

So where is he now?

At that thought, Brigitte, who had been immersed in a lot of thought, opened her mouth.

“I think I will go to the lab tomorrow too. I’m going to start making artificial ‘bowl’ in earnest. An artificial demon lord.”

At that, Garot clicked his tongue.

“To make a demon king? To be honest, I have only a foreboding feeling.”

Me too.

100% case will happen.

Shuk-.

As usual, I put my hands in my pockets.

The feeling of the cool butterfly knife was quite familiar.

old butterfly knife.

It’s like my amulet.

It was the only thing I bought and used at a fair price with my own money.

If you look at the effect, it’s probably like this.

“Judah’s Butterfly Knife: An old knife. It has become so dull that even the skin of the fruit cannot be peeled. It calms the owner’s mind. Spinning around is fun. Princess Power -1”.

yes.

It’s the same thing I gave to Naru as a gift.

Many thoughts ran through my mind as to why the goddess Efar gave me these things, but I decided not to think deeply yet.

“Enkidus, how did you know where I am?”

The tallest spire in the city of Phrygia.

A low, sullen voice echoed from the top floor.

Soon, someone appeared out of the darkness.

was bald

“Mara, you spent the most time in meditation among your brothers. And when you meditate, isn’t it your habit to climb the highest tower?”

“… … .”

“Even if you leave the school in violation of the doctrine, habits are not easily fixed.”

At the words of Enkidus, Mara, the apostate monk, sat on the top of the tower and loosened the cross-legged seat.

“Why are you here? Have you come to disturb my meditation? You will also remember that I hate interruptions in meditation more than anything else.”

“There is something I would like to ask you. Mara. Do you know anything about the mantra that makes your heart go wild… ?”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, Mara kept her mouth shut.

5 seconds of silence.

Soon, the apostate monk Mara broke the silence with a laugh.

“… The Grand Master has come to this city. Yes, it seems that you have seen and felt something. Did that old snake reveal its tail in front of you? Is it because you met Judas?”

“… … .”

“In the past, my madness may have been intentional by someone other than my will. Do you think so, Enkidus? They say that killing the brother-in-law and escaping may have been fabricated madness.”

“… … .”

“You cannot lie. So I have a habit of always being silent. But, Enkidus, you are wrong. My madness is all mine. I left the Order of my own will.”

“Is that so.”

“Enkidus, you have always been clumsy about one thing. It wasn’t me who drove Grand Master crazy. A madman you know well. I saw that day the man.”

“madman?”

“He was a seeker in shabby clothes. He was an unusual person. Climbing the 300,000 steps of the main mountain with only two staffs, he died and asked the great master for directions.”

“… … .”

“Why do you think the great master sent you, the second-ranked disciple, to subdue the demon lord instead of me, the chief disciple? because you know nothing That day, the name of the seeker I saw was Sabrnak.”

“… … !”

“An old serpent that has not become a dragon is bound to go mad. There is no such thing as truth in the main mountain. Who can teach someone who has lost his way?”

Enkidus could not listen any longer.

Because I thought I didn’t have time.

‘Is this the reason Judas didn’t want to show the children from the future to the Grand Master?’

Also, he was a nice guy.

And in many ways, it seemed that the time of choice had come for Enkidus as well.

‘I vaguely noticed, but-.’

There is no time.

Enkidus thought that he should inform Judas about this before the great master approached the children.

I was nervous because I didn’t know what the Grand Master might do in this city, but I didn’t know what he would do.

So I cut through the darkness and ran with all my might.

Her body always moves according to her will, but today she thought her legs were heavy.

The good thing is that the “Miscellaneous Mansion” has begun to be seen in the distance.

However, closer than that, a person with shining eyes appeared from the alley.

“Why is our disciple going on such a busy road?”

“… Master.”

“Today, I noticed that your attitude is not the same as before. Because you’re a kid who’d rather keep your mouth shut than lie. The frequency has grown that way.”

“Master, what are you going to do to Judas?”

“I will do nothing to that man. But, just in case, I’ll do anything to the man’s children. Therefore, disciple, go back. I will not tell you twice.”

Enkidus did something embarrassing for the first time in a long time.

What should you do here?

What would happen if we went back the way we came from?

“You mean you won’t obey your master’s will? Rather than the relationship that raised you, clothed you, put you to sleep, and fed you, who had been abandoned in the main mountain, it means that you will throw away everything in a fleeting moment of just over two years.”

The teacher was Enkidus’s parents.

To love is a child’s natural instinct. Even if the parents were wicked.

Children like Yuda, Naru, Cecily, and Hina proved that.

Even more so, habits are not easily corrected.

Enkidus, who always obeyed his teacher’s story, knew very well that he had to obey the words, “Go back.”

“… … .”

Bow-.

Finally, Enkidus put his palms together and bowed his head towards his teacher.

“Master.”

“Yes, Enkidus. you were a smart kid The meaning of frequency—”

“Please do not forgive me.”

Enkidus took a deep breath and shouted with all his might.

So that everyone sleeping in the mansion can hear it.

“—-.”

However, the reason it couldn’t be a proper noise was because the woman’s arm had pierced through her lungs.

As the woman’s arm was pulled from her chest, Enkidus felt what he would call his life force pour out of his perforated chest.

“Cool… .”

“Stupid stuff. If it were you, you could climb the stairs someday and become a dragon. However, this is also fate. Disciple, in the end, you are abandoned by the mother who gave birth to you, and you are born without meaning and go to the mother who raised you without meaning.”

“… … .”

“Even if you were Judas, I wouldn’t have heard your last words. What a pity. sorry How sad.”

Enkidus saw golden tears falling from his master’s golden eyes.

Is it the sadness of losing a disciple who was like a child?

No, no.

It was not because of Enkidus that the Grand Master was sad.

“Even though I killed the disciple I cherished so much, I don’t feel even a feather-like karma on my shoulders. ah, not even good only one step. Just one more step to climb… .”

Enkidus felt his body slowly grow cold.

His last dying words, which may have been a will.

Judas couldn’t hear it.

however.

It wasn’t meaningless.

Because now Judas was not alone.

I’m sure someone among the ties that Judah has built up must have heard of it.

someone… .

And that someone acted quickly.

“It’s strange. grand master. Why did you kill your own apprentice?”
