Episode 446: Towers and Colleges, Old Men and Young People

"... hey, this was a surprise...!!

Augley said that to the old man standing in front of him.

The meaning of that dialogue is simple.

Stronger than I thought.

In the first place, pure aggression is not the norm.

The shock I felt when my arms got huge and Augley hit the flat of the sword that gave me the gist was not halfway through.

I'm pretty sure it would have taken a lot of damage if it had been a direct hit.

In fact, even though I managed to defend myself, my back was hit by woodland trees and it's pretty scratchy.

The human body is weak.

You have to stand around well before this happens, or reinforce and stand around with your chi and witchcraft.

Still, for once, right after the old man's attack, I was meant to cover and protect my body with care... but I guess I still have the degree of sophistication.

I didn't train enough.

However, there is still life.

There's something I can do.

"Did you think it was about the same as the other two (...)?

"... what are you talking about?

I blurted it out for once, Augley, but the old man laughs.

"In that reaction, it still seems to have fallen apart... I don't know where they noticed, but I don't know what else to do. But it hurts to see those two with me, doesn't it? They haven't used all their power yet..."

I meant to put it away pretty well, but is it still the work of the year?

They spot you in one shot.

Well, the situation is the situation.

Whatever Goblin is, Seylan has made all the plots and captured him.

It's not hard to imagine this old man coming because he thinks he's found out everything.

Having said that, I certainly thought, as this old man put it, that the last one would come who was also good at plotting and manipulating.

I had a preconceived notion that it was such a group.

Yet this is what actually came.

It's a physical specialty.

Stupid. There's more to honesty.

"... Grandpa, aren't you the right guy or something? One way or another, you'd look better fighting in some coliseum."

There are many towns and cities that make martial arts competitions a spectacle.

We're always looking for the strong in places like that, and besides, that's an interesting fighter.

That's what this old man meant, and I thought it was going to be a great card.

And the old man smiled,

"When I was younger, I did that too, but I hated it. I was looking for a profession other than smashing it. Then... you're lucky. It's what we found, and it's your employer."

"Friends?"

"We've met, haven't we? Oh, I don't know about these people... the details are good. Your lord dresses strangely, too, but he's a man, isn't he? Man... shut up and talk with your fists."

"... don't listen to my clothes. Grandpa doesn't know this, it's stylish."

"... Huh. Then don't lose to the old man in strength, young man. Lately, it seems to be getting worse from my age. You could be wrong about adding and subtracting."

"If that's what you can do, I want you to forget who the target is."

"Lorraine, Lent, and Augley. What the fuck? Even as I grow older, for some reason I don't forget all the weird things...... heh!

That said the old man steps off the ground.

Terribly, the ground swayed, along with a huge sound at that moment.

Look, the old man's feet have unnaturally huge footprints.

In view of what happened earlier, the moment you stepped through the earth, you made that foot huge.

And a shaken fist comes in front of me.

Ahead, I know.

This old man's hand is going to get huge again and attack himself, I guess.

Imminent threat in front of you.

But don't lose your cool with it, how do you absorb that attack, and fight back?

Augley thinks desperately of it.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... Damn!

How far the hell did they blow...

My whole body is complaining of defects.

If you look, you could see the bones were broken or sticking out of your body.

If you're human, you're dead.

But I don't feel much pain.

Maybe it's not zero at all, because even a body like this will die if it takes too much damage.

Should I say die immortal, or extinguish...

In the meantime, we can't fight as hard as this is.

Concentrate and "differentiate" your body.

There is a strange feeling that the surface of the body loses its contour and the bonds come off.

It doesn't feel natural no matter how many times I taste it, but it's still a lot smoother than before because I'm getting used to it a lot.

The place may also have something to do with it.

In the woods, for some reason, the concentration gets stronger.

I wonder if there are spiritual powers that are giving me protection...

I don't know.

Anyway, when I differentiated and formed my own body again, I felt like I would be dead no matter what I saw, my body was completely back to normal.

The skin is blue and white and smooth, all the bones are in their original position.

I'm afraid only the robes aren't even dirty.

Without this robe, the damage could have been more serious.

And even now, it seems to be healing, but it doesn't mean no damage.

Niv taught me before, but differentiation just fixes the look.

If you are wounded more than once and in the same way, sooner or later your very existence dilutes and vanishes.

Of course, the damage is similar to fractures, etc., and if I set the day, I will fully recover again... well, it would be normal to say not to get hurt more than once in a short time.

It's an advantage that even a major injury can always be fought in the same way as a full-fast condition, but it's a disadvantage to say you don't know how much longer you're going to die.

It's dangerous.

I need to manage the area myself......

The old vampires "vampires" - Isaac and Laura have some superlative calm, maybe that's what's affecting them too.

Whatever......

"... now you can go. Orientation…"

After checking that your body is in good shape, see where you should head.

I can't tell who's where by magic like Lorraine, but there are a number of ways this body is unique.

Clear your ears and sense them with sound, because of course, there are other smells of blood, because...

Now exactly, don't smell that blood.

It belongs to Augley.

... Hey, you're not dead, are you?

I don't do Lorraine's, so that one still looks fine, but Augley...
