Chapter 313 A Proper Place to Die

The mercenaries of Japita are experts in combat with no fear of death, and they are a large group of mercenaries with more than a hundred members. They are good at close combat, fire support from a long distance with bow and magic, and some of them are even good at assassination. They are famous for accepting any request if there are money and exchange of life involved in that. All for the sake of fighting to the death that makes their blood boil. It can be said that it is a miracle that such a dangerous group of battle maniacs is united as an army. Either the man with the eyepatch is very good as the head of the group, or they are all just suicidal people who dont care about their own lives either way, the mercenaries of Japita are on the brink of doom.

Theres a monster in the arena who counterattacked the surprise attacks from the assassins, kept evading the rain of arrows while humming, and uninjured as if nothing happened when attacked by magic from all directions that fills the whole area. No one knows how many corpses piled up around Alezel. The spectators who are seeing this tragedy in the audience seats are all standing up and unable to sit down anymore. They are sweating like waterfalls, and their mouths are hanging open. Sango, the organizer of this dark arena, seems to be the same. Hes sweating so much that it could cause dehydration.

Uooooooh!

This time is a big one, huh. You sure are abundant with human resources~

The next challenger is a big man whose whole body is covered with thick armor. He raises a giant metal hammer to crush the petite Alezel. Looking at the big man, Alezel lifted the edge of her mouth and bent her index finger inward, giving a sign of provocation.

Die!

Its so slow that I dont even feel like avoiding it.

The dismantling is not limited to the human body and armor. The swung hammer was easily disassembled, and the hammer, which was the center of gravity, slipped out and flew toward the barrier. The metal rod, which was the handle of the hammer, struck on the ground with a loud sound and impact.

You may be better than me in terms of strength, but youre a failure in everything else.

By the time Alezel had finished her words, all of the big mans multiple layers of armor had been removed. Shes standing on the handle of the hammer, and shes holding a bloody heart thats still beating.

Its not good to just take things from people, so Ive put in a gift for you. Have a good time!

!?

Seeing his heart, the big man realized the seriousness of the matter. Then, Alezel jumped far behind him to get away from him. It was all too late for him. The sound of something burning in his left chest told him that it was the end for him. Alezels act of putting all the remaining stolen bombs in the heart of the big man as a gift is truly savage.

Well, now

Fire!

The support from the outside was running out, and the number of people was dwindling. When Alezel turned her eyes to the outside of the prison with the sound of an explosion behind her, a mercenary was pointing two huge firearms toward her and was about to shoot.

Hey~, you even have that thing, huh!

The next thing is a storm of bullets from the Gatling guns with a speed that cant be seen with eyes. If they were fired in a crossfire, any living thing would be minced in the next instant. The manufacturer is, of course, Made in Zex. They are not supposed to be sold to individuals, or even to nations or organizations, but it seems that Japitas mercenaries had obtained them from somewhere.

Well, I know about the Gatling gun, though!

However, theres no way that Alezel, who has an alliance with Zex as the Great Eight Demons, doesnt know about that weapon. With a piece of metal in each hand, shes repelling the storm of bullets on the spot. With those two pieces of metals, which she probably got from the stripped armor, shes changing the trajectory of the bullets one by one.

In the end, even after consuming all the ammunition and continuing to shoot until the barrel was burned out, not a single bullet hit Alezel. They hoped for it to at least graze Alezel, but unfortunately, shes unharmed.

Theres no way something slower than me would hit me, yknow? Well, it was like a game and fun, I guess?

Fuhehe, shes a real monster!

When its over, the mercenary, who was the shooter, showed a smile and muttered so.

Im one of the Great Eight Demons even if I look like this, of course Im a mons wait, who are you calling a monster!?

Alezels ears, which cant hear inconvenient screams but pick up interesting mutters, seem to be in perfect condition.

Ill be her opponent. In the meantime, please evacuate Sango-sama and the guests.

H-Hey!? It aint like what you promised! You promised to defeat Alezel, right!?

Im sorry, Sango-sama. It seems that we were overly optimistic with our calculations that now its almost impossible. The contract is unlikely to be fulfilled, so we wont take any reward. The only thing we can do at this point is to let you escape as far as possible.

Hmm~, aint you just looking for a place to die~? Ive heard rumors that Japitas mercenaries consider it an honor to die in battle. Sango-han sure is unfortunate that he hired suicidal people~

Abababababa.

In the end, there was not a single survivor in the cage except for Alezel. The mercenaries, who were more than a hundred, were reduced to half. No weapon or attack could catch up with Alezels speed. No matter what kind of protection they used, everything was in vain with her stealing that ignores logic. On the contrary, she even used them as a means of attacking and defending. In addition, her wiles are so evil that their minds were cornered. It is clear that there is no way to resist.

Still, I will at least buy time for several seconds. Now, evacuate

Unfortunately, that option is no longer available.

!? You are.

Abababa, aba?

A bewitching voice came from the last row of the audience seats and it permeated into the ears like a drug. Then, Sango and the spectators fell asleep on the spot, as if they had been hit by something. The silver-haired woman, who seems to be the culprit, turns down her mouth as if she just saw something uninteresting.

Well, when did you get there? And from the presence that I feel, the ones blocking the exit and entrance are the escorts that came the other day, right?

I dont know what youre talking about. Also, they are my property. Dont mistake them for Alezels escorts. Right, Black, Red?

The exit and entrance of the arena are blocked by a suspicious man in a black hoodie robe and a knight in red full body armor.

Lilyvia-han, sorry for involving you in something like this. Ill make up for it next time, I promise.

I will wait without expecting anything. You see, I want to sleep, settle it quickly.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the eye-patched man realized who the woman was. Then, he quietly took out his weapon and lifted his mouth in the same way as Alezel did.

It seems that we finally obtained a proper place to die. How fortunate that we have two of the Great Eight Demons here!

Following the man, all the surviving Japitas mercenaries rushed in with determination.
