LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 31 – New Errand Boy
Leaving Kuroka and Shirone in the clearing to continue their training, I changed into my human form as I stepped into the road.
Freed has seen me in my youkai form, and I think he wanted to test his new blade in a human opponent first. That’s why I used my Telos Karma to make the possibility of Freed attacking human to zero, or at least I will be his only target if he decided to attack human.
I don’t really know if the effect of Telos Karma will be enough to stop him, that’s why when I feel an unknown energy entering the town earlier, I decided to go to him directly.
The energy was pure, and now that energy was in the same place as Freed. My guess is that freed has gotten his first Excalibur and now he’s on the move to test his blade. This is faster than I thought.
Previously I thought that Freed would get his Excalibur after Riser visited Rias, but it seems that’s not the case in this real world.
I walked down the road and went to the direction where I felt the energy. I had tested with the light sword that I could make myself immune, or rather delete the probability of me getting hurt from light sword to zero. And that works.
I must be careful with Excalibur though, as it was the stronger light than the usual light sword that was given to the exorcist.
The energy that I felt is a little bit smaller than I had expected. Is it because the Excalibur was just a shard instead of the whole sword? But its energy certainly can’t be compared to Ddraig. Even if he’s sealed inside the Boosted Gear, his energy was so big that I could clearly felt it after Issei awakened the Boosted Gear a few days ago.
But, it was enough. My sword, Nenekirimaru could cut every Supernatural entity with ease, but this Excalibur is different. It was made to hurt a dark creature, and it has a special ability, unlike my sword.
I wanted to get the Excalibur Nightmare. It could further enhance my Fear to confuse my opponent. I am confident that no one could touch me if I utilize my Fear to the maximum and combine it with the probability changer, Telos Karma. But, I wanted to have more cards on my sleeves. In case someone that could cut my Fear appeared.
As I thought about that, Freed appeared from the bush while holding a sword with a golden aura in his right hand.
‘So he did appear in front of me, huh. That proved that Telos Karma could affect people too. But, his sword is not Excalibur Nightmare, right? Excalibur Nightmare has some ring circling the sword handle and blade if I remembered it correctly.’
“Jackpot~ I found a human walking around in this place as soon as I got my new Sword! Not only that, you…”
Freed pointed his sword tip towards me as he smiled.
“…You reeks of devils. You are one of devil's worshipper right?!” He said as his smile turned into a twisted one.
Unfortunately for him, his threat and speech mean nothing to me. As he lacked the feel of intimidation with his bald head.
“What are you talking about, baldie?” I said as I smirked.
However, I never expected Freed’s reaction towards my quip. He just shrugged his shoulder and shook his head.
“This is why people always judged other people from their appearance. Don’t you know?” Freed said and looked at me. “This baldie has some amazing weapon in his hand!”
As he said that, Freed disappeared from his location, no, he moved in a fast speed to my right and slashed his sword horizontally. Because of his fast speed, I was surprised a little, but I managed to evade his slash by ducking low to the ground and jumping backward after his slash passed my previous location.
His speed is fast, but I think that’s because of the sword.
“Excalbiur Rapidly, huh?” I said as I closed my right eyes and looked down at him.
‘It’s a miss, but that sword is useful. Because my theory was proved, I will make Freed become my errand boy to bring the rest of Excalibur to me. It didn’t hurt me to collect the Excalibur as I could make the church owe the Youkai a favor with this.’
“Hohou, you know this sword? Exactly! This baby is Excalibur Rapidly, now die!” Shouted Freed as he disappeared from his location again.
I could follow his movement with my eyes though, so the Excalibur Rapidly just enhanced the speed of its wielder.
Freed reached me at a fast speed and make three slashes at the same time. This is rather bad, I quickly called my Nenekirimaru, blocked his slash, and send a thrust that pierced his shoulder.
Freed was shouting “It hurts!!” as he moved back using the ability of the Excalibur Rapidly and eyed the sword in my right hand.
I rested my sword on my shoulder as I give him a look with one of my eye closed. “Surprised?”
“Y-You!! You were that youkai that shaved my head!! I will kill you, you bastard!! How dare you act as a human when you were a fucking youkai!!”
Freed brandished his sword high and rushed to me with a speed faster than before, he sent a vertical slash, aiming at my torso as he yelled.
“Surprise!!!”
He swung his sword with both of his hands. I dodged to the left and sent a slash towards his hand with Nenekirimaru, but it was blocked by him using the handle of his sword. He then stepped back one step, and send a barrage of slashes towards me. He aimed for my shoulder, torso, heart, even my neck.
With each slash, I either blocked them or redirect his slash to the other direction using my sword.
“Is this it? The extent of the Excalibur wielder?!” I shouted at Freed and kicked his stomach, making him fly and crash to the wall that separates the living area from the mountain area.
I rushed at him and stepped on his right hand with my left leg, breaking it in the process.
“Aaahh!! It fucking hurts!!” Freed screamed as he tried to move my leg with his left hand, but my leg stayed firm and didn’t move even a little.
I eyed him from above as I bend my body.
“Don’t you fucking kill the innocent human in this city, you bastard! Did you seriously think that the devils are the real owner of this town so you could do as you please? Think a little bit with that brain of yours.” I said as I stabbed Freed’s left hand with my Nenekirimaru.
His grip of Excalibur Rapidly was lessened and it dropped from his hand. I pulled my left leg from his hand and give him last kick on his stomach and he fell unconscious.
I make my Nenekirimaru disappear and look at the Excalibur Rapidly that was dropped on the ground.
Not only that, I used my Telos Karma to change the probability. This time, I ordered it to change the probability of me being a compatible holy sword user. After I felt my Telos Karma did its job, I picked the Excalibur Rapidly and eyed it.
“Good, I could lift it.”
I looked at the Freed and said. “The next time Freed got an Excalibur, he will find Nura Riku no matter what happened to his body.”
My Telos Karma was working as soon as I said those words. With this, he will bring another Excalibur to me.
I walked back to the clearing where Kuroka and Shirone were training with a big smile on my face.
‘Do your best, my errand boy.’
