Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More! Chapter 429

When I returned to Clouds side, he was being sermoned by Michelle.

Kufar didnt seem to have returned so I guess everything was safe for now? He was part of a fishy organization, so he wouldnt do anything that would get him suspected.

Ah, welco back, Lady Nicole. That was fast.

Yeah, wheres that guy?

Huh, didnt you drive them away?

I an, I was wondering if he returned.

Oh, please give a mont.

Finia pulled out a small sparrow-shaped Familiar from her pocket and released it. It floated over the roads and flew towards the direction Kufar disappeared into.

Found him. He is walking that way. Perhaps towards the southern district.

She pointed to the opposite side of the main street. As expected, Kufar was avoiding populated streets too. Still, I had no intention of letting him do as he pleased.

Thanks. Ill head out for a bit. Finia, you return to the inn with Cloud and Michelle.

Huh, but

Recall your familiar too. Just do it!

She got flustered from my unusually angry yell and quickly recalled her familiar. If she kept monitoring him, I wouldnt be able to go all out. Ill locate him and take him down. That shouldnt take too long.

Slis were strong against physical attacks, but they had a sphere that acted as their core inside their body, and it was easy to defeat them if you attacked it. He was a rare species according to Maxwell, but that weakness should be the sa as other Slis.

Finia tried to call out to stop , but I ignored it and turned the corner into a small path. Seeing unusually angry, the three did not try to follow .

Still, even as I turned the corner, I couldnt sense Kufar. From the start, he had the characteristics of Slis and Blobs that specialized in hiding. Once you let one go out of your sight, it was hard to discover it again.

Tsk.

I clicked my tongue and gave up, then turned around to return back to the group. But then, Kufars voice reached .

Do you have so business with ?

!?

I instantly faced the direction of the voice and put a hand on my katana while lowering my posture. Seeing like that, Kufar asked dubiously.

Oh my. I have no intention of harming you now. Why are you so vigilant if I may ask? Isnt this our first ti eting?

So barefaced. Didnt you say weve t just earlier?

Ah, that certainly is the case. I did say that. That certainly makes suspicious. I see.

Kufar had t as Nicole while disguised as Reid. And I had confird Kufars identity when I was acting as Reid. From his standpoint, I was being strangely vigilant towards him for soone who wasnt supposed to know his identity.

For that reason, I decided to take advantage of his slip-up from before. Since I was going to put him down here, it wouldnt matter even if he saw through my identity, but he would just get more vigilant that way. It was easier this way to take him out by surprise.

AD

Kufar seed to have been convinced by my answer, nodding over and over. There were no people around us. Finia and others didnt follow either, so it was just the two of us here.

By the way, would you mind telling what you were talking about? So that we can clear out any misunderstandings.

I could just chop him up and crush his core right away, but I wanted to know what he was trying to tell Cloud. He said sothing about a eting. If it was so kind of a sche, I couldnt leave it be.

If the situation wouldnt be solved just by killing him, I had to co up with so counterasures. For example, maybe he was trying to spread his ideologies around.

Oh, well, I cant speak too loudly about it, but hes also a fellow half-demon. I wanted to introduce him to my comrades.

So you have comrades?

Of course, I already knew that he was part of an organization. But I didnt know how large it was or where they were. If I managed to learn that, the north could regain its public order.

Well yes. But I cant exactly tell you about them, Hero Lyells daughter, Nicole.

Back then I saw Kufar as Nicole while he was disguised as Reid. Back then, he approached because he was aiming for Cortina, but he should have looked into my background too.

It seed that he was destined to target people around . Which ant I couldnt ignore him anymore.

A peerless beauty with bluish-silver hair and red-blue eyes. Theres no one but you with such features. You have grown into a fine beauty true to the rumors.

Im honored to hear that.

AD

I kept closing the distance between us as I spoke.

I was using a special martial art of movent using my toe. It was a thod to get the opponent inside your attack range without removing your eyes from them or moving your legs and advancing as if sliding.

I heard it was created in the sa region these katana weapons were from.

Kufar didnt seem to be as interested in techniques as , so he didnt seem to have noticed what I was doing. However, his atmosphere suddenly changed the next mont.

But, lets see Lyell has been getting in my way lately. Im quite willing to get revenge on him using you.

His expression got warped into a smile that crossed the limits of what a human face allowed. I sensed clear killing intent there and imdiately unsheathed my katana.

It was a drawing attack that I used previously. It accurately landed on his neck, but there was no reaction as expected. But I wasnt surprised this ti. I already knew that he was a rare species of Sli.

HehIts impossible, you still havent realized it?

Im not so sure!

While there was no damage, the pressure of the slash was still there. Kufar stopped his attempt to attack and stood still. I would naturally not overlook an opening like that.

I kept adding up attacks like successive arrow shots with a katana though. Each ti, I cut off his clothes, scattering them on the road. And so were scattered his body fluids.

AD

The fluids were dissolving the stone paving with acidic noises. They were part of his sli body. Lumps of deadly poison that would ruin ones health with just a touch.

Damn, you sure are rciless this ti!

Seeing no chances to counterattack, Kufar decided to fall back and attempted to jump behind. In response, I used the side of my katanas blade to strike his arm.

Normally, slashing was the aspect this weapon excelled in the most. But since he was a lump of music, that barely had an effect. Thats why, I decided to use the wide part of the blade to smash him instead.

As I intended, his arm that received not a slash but a slam was crushed and the part below his elbow fell to the ground.

Aagh, this is getting irritating!

I was the opponent he easily dealt with the last ti. But that sa opponent was attacking him one-sidedly now, so he ended up yelling in impatience. Next, I crushed his left foot, making him crawl on the ground.

How could you grow so strong in re three years No, this ability and this weapon It cant be!

When I encountered him the last ti as Reid, I was using a katana. And now, no, even the last ti I t him as Nicole, I was also using a katana.

Driven into a corner, Kufar thought of the reason for this disgraceful situation, and seed to have caught on to that similarity.

AD

You, dont tell youre Reid!?

Doesnt matter. Youre going to die here today.

Kufar exclaid with a voice full of contempt. I dismissed his question and sliced his back vertically. That would normally be a fatal wound, but it had no effect on Slis. Still, I found a purplish red sothing inside his cut body.

I instantly realized it was his core.

This is the end!

Not yet!

The two of our voices reverberated side by side in the back alley.

He was lying face down on the ground. I, on the other hand, held the katana with a backhand grip and just needed to thrust it down. My victory was practically guaranteed. But I hadnt gotten careless. It was common sense to never let down your guard until the prey was down for certain.

I wasnt careless, and yet,thatsuddenly entered my vision.

(Say no to content thief!)

I reflectively swung my sword to brush it aside, but the blade passed through it. The fact that I still managed to shift my body to dodge it was all thanks to my reaction speed.

That sothing brushed past my face and crumbled down as it hit the wall. I saw what it was the mont it attacked . It was the arm I cut down earlier. Even though it was separated from the core, how did hemy question was cut short in the middle.

Because an intense heat assaulted both of my eyes.

AD

G-GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!?

My body was able to better endure the pain compared to my younger days. But the pain that assaulted my eyes my eyeballs were experiencing sharp pain to the point I was unable to endure a scream.

It wasnt the pain of your body getting ripped apart. It wasnt a pain of your body changing either. It was a sharp pain that was like the very heat itself, as if my nerves were burned and ripped out directly.

Even so, I closed my eyes and swung down my katana to finish Kufar off, but there was no reaction.

Heheheh It was dangerous, but looks like I was one step ahead this ti, huh? Well, I have been growing stronger too so dont feel too bad.

I heard damp footsteps nearby. Perhaps he had regenerated his limbs and approached . I couldnt confirm that in my dark vision.

The next mont, a heavy impact ran through my abdon. I thought he cut for a mont, but it seed to be just a kick. Fortunately, my clothes protected from a direct touch so my body wasnt burned either.

I even managed to burn your face in the process. Dont worry, Ill finish you off right awahmm?

Kufars elated voice was suddenly cut. But I had no ti to worry about that. The pain in my eyes wasnt sothing I could endure any longer, so I just stayed rolled up on the ground and desperately held on to my consciousness.

I couldnt suppress the spasms of my body, and my fingers dug into the flesh of my face. Then I heard Kufars whispering voice.

AD

Did they hear that? Oh well, your wounds wont heal, and you will probably die eventually. Keep writhing in incessant pain and die.

In my dark vision, only Kufars voice reached . And my consciousness could endure it no more.
