Chapter 514: Graham’s Anger
Graham and I left the cave to face the five mohawks. All of them are artificial master level mages and they realized that I was looking at them. Although they didn’t stop going toward the fake village’s direction, since I keep looking at them while showing my hostility, they slowed down and had a discussion before changing their direction and move here.
“All five of them are running here. Since there are no children, you are free to kill them,” I said to Graham.
“I don’t care even if they are children or not. Whoever did that to my sister deserve to die!” Graham said.
“I can’t have you do that. No matter what, don’t ever kill children even if they are enemies. We need to try other means first,” I said.
“That means if there’s no other way, it’s fine to kill them, right?”
“...Just don’t kill children or I will forcefully give you the order. Don’t forget that you’re my contracted monster.”
This Graham is dangerous. I don’t know if he is as strong as he thought he is. Ever since I met him and we fought, I would never imagine that he would be like this. Though if he’s stronger than back then, I am confident that I can beat him. Though I don’t know if I am stronger than him or not. There are many ways to fight. Including the cowardly way.
.....
“Fine. It’s not like I can disobey you anyway. And you have many ways to kill me. I know that since I have seen you fight many times,” Graham said.
Seems like he knows that without having me to tell him.
“You said you are confident that you can defeat all five of them alone. How will you do that?” I asked.
“Just watch. I will go alone from here,” Graham said as he spread all his wings and flies toward the mohawks. He’s much faster than what I thought. Even faster than Spot! Just how many secrets does he have?
But now that he will follow me to destroy the cult, I can rest easy. He is the greatest ally that I never thought I had. Well, if he truly can fight all five mohawks on his own.
He runs ahead of me, and then he summoned his shadow clone and fly together to the mohawks.
By this time, the mohawks’ attention turned from me who was looking at them, to Graham whom they can see. How can someone defeat five master level mages alone in a direct fight? Even if they are artificial master level mages, it was not supposed to be easy.
Oh? Now, he’s holding his spear with just one hand. As for the other hand... seems like he can create a shadow spear from his shadow. Both him and his shadow clones are holding two spears.
Using two weapons at once is not easy. I also sometimes fight using both spear and katana or gun. With its length, I used the spear mostly to defend. Well, it mostly depends on the situation though.
But using two spears at once, and both spears have the same length, is difficult thing to do. Even if I can do that, it’s thanks to Victoria or Blobbies changing their shape. I guess I can still learn something from Graham. Unless he’s just an idiot fighting without a care.
...He’s an idiot fighting without a care. Graham approached one of the mohawks who raised an Earth Wall to block him. But Graham doesn’t care as he let his shadow clone hit the Earth Wall. Then, using his own shadow clone as a step, he jumped over the wall and targeted another mohawk who is already prepared to cast a magic.
Graham received a Fire Ball directly on his face, but his two spears pierced the enemy. And he doesn’t care at all since he can use healing magic on himself. By the time he’s going for the next mohawk, the burns on his face has all disappear.
And now, Graham used light magic to shoot a beam toward the next enemy. Right after he shot it, he creates a Light Shield in front of him.
It’s not enough to protect him from artificial master level mages’ magic. But he has healing magic. Also, it was to distract the opponents. He still has his shadow clone helping him.
When his shadow clone pierced its spears into two mohawks at once, I stopped at a distance. There’s no longer any need for me to help Graham.
Graham fights recklessly. But it was because he has healing magic, light magic, and his shadow clone. I think his strategy came from watching me fight many times in the past with different strategies.
But the fight is not over yet. He still has three mohawks to fight. One of the mohawks that his shadow clone pierced with its spear is still alive. Maybe it’s actually two and a half. He won’t live long with that kind of injury no matter how much he has been strengthened.
Oh, wait. It’s three. He’s also a healer. An artificial master level mage who is also a healer is annoying. And Graham knows that.
Graham now fights while focusing on the healer. But the other mohawks stopped him. Should I help?
Wait! Is his shadow clone shooting a beam?! His clone can also use magic!? That was surprising. I didn’t expect that at all.
A shadow clone which is exactly the same as the original. It can use the same light magic and probably Graham’s healing magic as well. It uses the same high level of spearsmanship like the original. And unlike the original, it’s fine to be sacrificed. Someone who is not afraid of dying. And as long as the original has enough mana, no matter how many times the shadow clone is destroyed, the original can summon it again and again. And it can be a huge clone, or a small one.
That’s cheating. Why didn’t I awaken my shadow element? Two Roys using Aura. We might be able to progress our mission to destroy the cult even faster.
Hmm... I guess the reason I didn’t see Graham’s clone using healing magic on Graham is because Graham can use it himself.
Now, his clone has defeated the healer mohawk. Two more to go. But now that it’s two against two, Graham has the upper hand. As long as the opponents didn’t keep their distance. But if there are no wind mages among them, they won’t be able to escape anyway.
Oh, that’s interesting. Graham grabbed the shadow spear while holding it close to the blade as he attacked his enemy with it. The enemy then stepped back to dodge his attack. Except that Graham slid his other hand on his real spear, to hold it at the other end of the spear. The butt of the spear.
He did that while swinging his real spear upward. And then, he swung it down with power toward the enemy. Thanks to him holding the butt of his spear, he can reach the enemy while swinging it down. Even though he received many injuries until he can use that move, he doesn’t care. Healers are such a cheat.
Now that it became a one on two fight. And this last enemy, Graham and his shadow clone pierced all four spears toward the mohawks’ chest. With Graham stabbing the mohawk from the front, and his clone stabbed the opponent from behind. That’s a cruel way to end someone’s life.
After that, Graham made his clones and his shadow spear disappear. But Graham’s anger is not something that can easily disappear. He just found out that his sister was used by the cult after all.
“You! You! Shithead! Fuck you! Kill! Die!”
Graham shouted in anger while stabbing the corpse of the mohawk again and again. And now I’m also looking at the other corpses to find that one of them is actually still alive.
I approached the living one and stabbed him with Reizpear to finish him off. Now, all of them has died. And I really don’t need to do anything since Graham finished everything on his own. Well, if I didn’t count the one that I finished myself.
“Graham, that’s enough,” I said to Graham.
“Die! Die! Die!”
Graham didn’t listen to me.
“He’s already dead. And if you keep wasting time like this, we won’t be able to find out who did everything,” I said to Graham as I grabbed his spear to stop him from stabbing the corpse any longer.
“Huff... Huff... Who did it?”
“You’re asking me that right now? I don’t know. My guess is the Professor. I’ll ask Albert later if the Professor knows something about any monster experiments. For now, let’s go back. We also need to see if there’s something we can do to your sister,” I said.
After I said something about his sister, Graham finally calmed down.
“Georgia... What will you do to her?” Graham asked.
“Probably to keep her locked. Until we find a way to return her to normal, it’s impossible for her to live anywhere. Even in the monster village,” I said.
“...I understand,” Graham said.
And so, I opened a portal back to the fake village. I can see the angels are looking at Graham with worry. Even if he has a bad personality, he is still their leader after all.
