Extermination

Since their leader Milworc was still alive at that point, all the members that were in this building had gathered right beside the room, so it really didn’t take much effort for me to annihilate the remaining members.

Thanks to them all falling into panic, they barely even fought back, and I was able to enjoy a truly one-sided slaughter.

Since members of [Under Eye] were supposedly handpicked and were all above a certain level of strength, [Life Presence detect] was really useful in chasing them down——and right now, I had cornered the last remaining member inside this building, with his back to the wall.

Having lost the strength in his knees, he slumped down on to the ground, and was looking at me as if he was staring at a demon or something and was desperately trying to look for a way to run but, with his back to the wall, he really didn’t have any route to escape.

Their trademark black hood was mostly off now, and his pathetic scared look was out in the open for me to see.

“Pl-please………I’ll do anything, so please don’t kill me!”

“Not happening. How many people have you guys killed that said the same thing to you?”

“hi hiiiiiiiiiii!!”

Showing me his back, he tried to jump out of the window as a last resort but, I quickly stabbed him from behind before he could do that.

His desperate struggle and the attempt to run ended as his body went limp, and the sound of blood spurting out of his mouth came to my ears.

His hand that was on the window slid down powerlessly, and finally the last member here had been gotten rid of.

Milworc ended up being below my expectations but, thanks to the unnecessarily huge crowd of these scrubs, I was able to fully enjoy myself in the end.

While feeling extremely satisfied and pleased with the result, I also realized that my stamina was really at its final stretch—–and I felt sad that this exhilarating feeling was unfortunately about to come to an end as well.

While I was going through these mixed emotions, Mielle who had finally ran and caught up, called out to me.

“……….What a horrible mess. If you were to show this scene to someone, they wouldn’t be able to tell which one is the real villain.”

“Silence, you dumb bitch. Don’t ruin the moment with your chatter.”

“I know the I say the same shit about that dumb princess behind her back so I know I’m in no position to talk but, can you at least try not to say such things straight to my face? If I wasn’t so open-minded I would have open fired my magic at you, you know?”

It was irritating how Mielle still thought she could actually threaten me like that.

“……….But well, you certainly are different from your usual self Chris. Right after you said, [I’m going to cause you a lot of problems maybe, but I’ll be counting on you], your personality suddenly did a complete 180.”

“Just stop talking will you? Do you want to get cut down as well?”

“But, looks like you haven’t returned back to normal yet it seems huh. I wonder if it’s close to something like a berserk or a confused state or something like that? In that case………”

Ignoring me, she continued to mutter something to herself which was starting to irritate me even more.

Kill her……….no, that would be too much but, I could give her a solid punch in the face at least right?

Just as I thought of that, and was about to close in on her——

“[Dispeliaric]”

Mielle fired some kind of magic at me as soon as I began to walk close to her.

I dodged it in a hurry, but she fired a three more of the same magic, and then fired four more balls of greenish magic that chased after me.

I somehow managed to dodge the first few but she even predicted where I was going to move, and by the time I remembered that I had [Anti magic] as well,……..it was already too late.

The four balls hit me directly, and instantly my vision turned black and my consciousness flew.

“Ah, he collapsed! I guess the status healing magic really worked after all.”

Within my fading consciousness, I heard Mielle say something like that, before I completely fell to sleep.

——-and the next instant, I jumped back up awake again.

I still remembered everything that happened after I activated [Mad Warrior], and I was hit with a wave of embarrassment realizing that Mielle had watched my entire rampage.

Even if it mostly beyond my control in a sense, I did cause a lot of bother to Mielle for sure.

“Hm?………Wait, did your normal consciousness return already?”

“………….Yeah. Thanks to your help, I’m back to normal. Apologies for all the troubles.”

“Well it was easy to heal, and it did save my life so I don’t mind but……..you should have at least told me beforehand as to how I should have returned you to normal, you know?”

She says that, but the truth is, I didn’t really have any idea how to do that either……..

The first time I used it, I still had a decent amount of control on myself, and the second time, I lost consciousness out of exhaustion and when I returned to sense I was back to normal.

And during this third time, while I remained aware, I myself had no idea how to stop myself and honestly, I’m a bit surprised that Mielle was able to cure me so easily.

“It’s a side effect of a skill, so I didn’t even know how to cure it in the first place. If anything, I’m curious to know how you did it.”

“Eh, so you just went for it without any plan? I would prefer if you didn’t use such a skill in that case but, well, I suppose even you couldn’t be picky with Milworc as your opponent huh.”

“Since I lose control as you saw, I try not to use it in general but, like you said, I didn’t have much of a choice here…………..regardless, my apologies for your troubles once again.”

“I mean I did get annoyed at being called a dumb bitch over and over again but well, if you were doing it all unconsciously, I guess I can’t complain much. You looked like you were completely insane,  so was it something close to being horribly drunk or something I assume?”

Now that she put it that way, perhaps that was a good analogy.

Not that I have ever gotten drunk but, the symptoms were certainly close to that from what I could tell.

Of course, the change in personality from [Mad Warrior] was far more extreme than anything alcohol could achieve.

“That’s not a bad comparison I suppose. My memories are vague, and I just sort of faintly remember the things that happen as well.”

“Well, in that case I’m glad you were able to return to normal. Is your body alright? If you are, then we should quickly leave and go support the other groups instead, right?”

Hearing that, I suddenly recalled that Esta and Ralf were probably also fighting and I wanted to go check in on them.

My entire body was hurting like crazy, and I felt too dull to properly move but…….If I used [Pain Inhibition], I’ll manage somehow.
