I died.
By the hand of an adventurer taking the C-rank advancent exam, no less.
I don’t understand.
That bastard is a D-rank guy, for crying out loud!
And yet, that guy, he, to ….
No, it’s impossible. There must be a mistake.
I rushed toward Halt after reviving myself with my magic artifact.
And yet, that guy had already prepared his next spell, as if he already expected this.
"Fire Lance"—that guy chanted that.
I have a bracelet that could withstand magic attacks from even attribute dragons, but he easily obliterated just with that spell.
In the past, I got a magic device called the "Necklace of Revival" in a dungeon.
As long as I’m wearing it, I would never die. Thanks to the bracelet’s effect, I pushed myself to the limits to beco stronger.
I’m still wearing this magical tool, of course.
That’s why I’m still alive.
I ca back to life despite being hit by that insanely powerful magic spell.
Intelligent monsters would usually leave the place thinking they already killed , or they would stand dumbfounded if I revived while they’re trying to eat . I took advantage of these situations so that I could slay monsters that had higher levels than .
That’s also true even for people. When I’d been weakened, I would use my "death" as a decoy, then kill all those who looked down on .
People and monsters were similar; they would lower their guards once they thought they had killed their opponent.
And yet, Halt was different. He was already set for his next attack, as if he knew I would be revived.
Why?! Why didn’t you lower your guard?!
There’s also sothing that I don’t understand.
That guy chanted [Fire Lance] every ti he used that spell.
So people could cast magic without chanting, although it’d be less powerful. Even so, it’s still impossible to invoke a spell using a chant for a completely different spell. But what the heck, that attack was definitely not Fire Lance, the lowest level fire attribute magic!!
And now I’m about to die for the third ti already.
A certain amount of information passed through my mind while watching that f*&#$ly huge pillar of fire hurtling toward . Kiel, the vice-captain of our unit, said sothing about this guy.
Halt was Cain’s brother.
Cain, that guy, was a Bakemono.
I fought against him several tis under His Majesty’s orders, but I never won against him.
Cain didn’t kill because the king would stop him. Well, he probably won’t finish off considering we’re also ex-colleagues.
Still, if it’s an actual battle, then I’d use the power of my magical device, catch Cain off guard, then finish him off. Yeah, I do think he’s a Bakemono, but he’d still die if slain.
Well, there’s no doubt that the bastard was a Bakemono, but so was his brother. It took three rounds of death before I realized this.
Third revival in this place.
I kept on coming back to life, but Halt and his comrades didn’t even so much as flinch.
Did they already know that I could revive?
There’s a reason why I ca to that conclusion.
Kiel didn’t return last night. He told that there was sothing bothering him so he would scout Halt’s mansion. He hadn’t returned until now.
Kiel’s intel gathering as an information broker was top-notch, I give him that. The information he got was always accurate and usually sothing hard to get your hands on. Not only that, he never leaves any evidence of his infiltration. That’s the sort of guy he was, and yet he didn’t co back.
No way, did Halt catch him?
I didn’t think that was possible, but…
Kiel’s the only guy who knew I could co back to life infinite tis.
It’s reasonable to think that Halt and his comrades didn’t bat a single eye when I revived because Kiel got captured.
That guy may be an excellent spy, but he won’t hesitate to switch sides to save his butt. At least that’s how he was when he was still working as my subordinate.
The revival was finished. Halt’s spell was hurtling toward .
It’s already the fourth ti, so of course I could evade this to so extent.
Well, not completely, though.
Still, I could stop this fight thanks to that.
It’s boring always getting killed off, after all.
I didn’t care anymore.
I felt my life ebbing away, I surrendered to Halt.
This was a ga.
If I admit defeat, then Halt won’t be able to do anything to , regardless if he was a monster.
That’s the rule of this ga.
At any rate, I said so stuff trying to gloss over my revival.
Was it too bland?
Well… Nah, whatever.
Alright, next.
Let’s crush those little friends of his so I could vent out this fury that I got bottled up all because of that Bakemono Halt!
