"Warrior's honor? What's that? "
"… It's probably something you brag about when you're drinking in a bar. For example, I killed an entire group of goblins in one trip."
From a certain standpoint, Donatis had trusted the wrong person. Perhaps Adam was definitely an excellent warrior, but he definitely didn't have the so-called warrior's honor or Knight's honor. He was a pure village boy, and the only adventuring team he followed was led by someone like Roland. How could he possibly have the mysterious honor of a noble Knight or warrior?
If he could win, he would fight. If he couldn't win, he would run. Was he supposed to fight to the death against a powerful enemy that he couldn't defeat for the sake of honor and honor? Perhaps that was the romance of nobles, but Adam had always been a freelance mercenary. Such an idiot would only become the favorite one-time-use cannon fodder of his employers, and they wouldn't even need to pay him any fees.
Back when he wasn't strong enough, he often lied, pretended to be obedient, and acted pitiful. But now that he was stronger … and considering that his enemies seemed to be even stronger, there wasn't much of a difference.
Perhaps he would show his warrior's honor at certain times, but he definitely wouldn't do it for the sake of his enemies.
"Ten minutes. No matter how slow Roland is, he should be able to provide reinforcements by now …"
"Then, shall we pretend to discuss something?"
"Yep. Yep, if Roland still can't make it in time, we'll directly tell him that we have reinforcements and have him wait a little longer. "
"Will that really work?"
"Others won't mention it, but I think that this will work. Didn't you see how he even agreed to wait for us to discuss? Using that guy's own words, if you don't act cool and seek death, how can you make yourself look like an antagonist boss?"
"Doesn't that guy like to seek death as well?"
"Yep, he even said that if an antagonist boss keeps seeking death and doesn't die, then he's no longer a boss. That's … the main character."
Alright, a certain person's perverted words had poisoned many normal people. Right now, the mage who was dressed like a female thief was mysteriously excited, as she would soon be able to see a certain someone again.
It was just that a certain someone probably didn't want to see her at all …
But sometimes, plans couldn't keep up with changes. Only three minutes later, a sky-covering pillar of light announced a fundamental change in the battlefield.
"Holy Light? In this city? Who died? Devil? "
Donatis was not a fool. Before he agreed to wait, he had already confirmed that the Paladin Order that intercepted him had all fallen, and his target should still be in this city.
And that Holy Light that reached the heavenly pillar undoubtedly meant that there was an extraordinarily powerful Holy Light user in this city, and the number of Holy Light users with such pure radiance in the multiverse could be counted on one hand …
"Roland …"
From a certain standpoint, Roland, who had just entered the middle stage of the Myth rank, was indeed one of the strongest Holy Knight in the world.
A powerful light source has its own color pattern, and a powerful power also has its own characteristics. After seeing the Hades, this kind of mutated pure light with a strange power of redemption seems to only belong to that man.
Donatis's statue-like face first changed. He seemed to be overjoyed, but also hesitant.
Being able to meet Roland here was indeed a surprise as well as a pleasant surprise. However, Roland wouldn't be so easy to deal with. In the Chaos War God's mind, perhaps Roland's power level wasn't even at a SemiGod's level yet, but Roland was indeed as dangerous as a Main God. After all, this was no longer the first time a Main God had lost to Roland.
Donatis' first thought was that this was a trap, a bait specifically targeted at him. But the next instant, he noticed that "Dion and his companions" suddenly appeared before him, and he finally knew that something was wrong.
"Red Lotus Hero Adam Han?"
The information about Roland's comrades wasn't a secret, nor was it likely to become a secret. Roland's fiery-red hair was also his signature. Donatis wouldn't have thought of it if Donatis didn't mention it, but now that he thought of Roland, how could he not guess?
"Marguerite? Ein Mezus? "
When Donatis recalled that Roland had brought a group of people with him, he realized that he had been fooled. Not only that, the person who had just fooled him was the comrade of his mortal enemy. Donatis' expression became quite grim.
"Alright, we've all underestimated him. Roland's reinforcements haven't arrived yet, but he's already tricked you."
From a certain standpoint, Roland had successfully accomplished something new — he had tricked his comrades without even appearing.
Not far away, the Pillar of Holy Light was still dispelling Chaos. Even the War God was surprised by the "abnormal" Holy Light.
The giant god stood up again and viciously glared at Adam who was currently smiling foolishly. This time, he wouldn't hold back at all.
…
"Please, all of you, die once. The information you have is more important than your own lives. "
While the adventurers were rejoicing that they had luckily survived the battle against the demon general, while Casio had just recovered from his Holy Light attack, and while Aivla was still trembling, I said this.
The next instant, everyone picked up their weapons and looked at me with wary expressions.
"… Didn't I make myself clear? You've all seen that big fellow over there, Donatis. You should all know just how strong and difficult he is to deal with. And, he's chasing after you. In that case, as long as you all die in front of him, he'll naturally treat it as a mission accomplished and return to his Divine Kingdom. Of course, I still need someone to give me the 'item' … "
Alright then, this time, everyone really did draw their swords, swords, and magic staffs. They were all chanting incantations.
"So, you're going to sacrifice us? As servants of our Goddess, returning to her due to a noble mission will be the highest honor. But, as a member of an adventuring team, as a priest, I can't just watch as my teammates die in front of me! "
The bearded dwarf priest who had been smiling just a moment ago now had an expression of anger. He kept swinging his black-iron war hammer, but his technique was truly lacking.
The elven mage didn't say anything, but he lightly chanted an incantation to express his decision.
"Is this my fate? As expected, I can't escape it … Come, take it. Since this is my fate, at the very least, my death will have meaning …"
The first to respond was the fallen angel who struggled to get up. She had an expression of despair, but her trembling voice contained a shred of resolution and hope.
"Don't be foolish. His Highness Roland isn't such a person. Let him finish."
However, Casio, who had fought with me before, understood me quite well.
I nodded and snapped my fingers.
"Youngsters don't have any patience at all … Harloys, give me a few clones to use."
I walked over, picked up the tiefling warrior's severed head, and placed it back on his head.
After that, black magic representing death was infused into the tiefling warrior's body, and he regained the ability to move. Then, several dozen Slimes combined and clashed with each other, creating humanoid shapes as if they were made from plasticine. Finally, they took on the appearance of Casio and the others.
It was far too easy for Harloys, who had the ability to transform herself at will, to use her clones to create several humanoid shapes … Actually, if it wasn't for the fact that Harloys strongly objected to this, I had even intended to use the Slimes for commercial purposes … I wasn't going to break the law. I was only selling labor. Did anyone think otherwise?
"If everything you say is fake, Donatis will be suspicious as well. I'll make 'you' die so horribly that not even your corpses will be left behind. However, his corpse will appear in front of Donatis. All you need to do is find a place to hide yourselves, and don't come out until everything is over. You can keep the 'item' for yourselves. "
After saying that, I immediately turned around and left, with the wobbling flesh figures following behind me.
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Although Harloys didn't say it explicitly, both of us knew that she was referring to using words to intentionally cause Casio and the others to misunderstand.
Harloys knew that Roland definitely did that on purpose. She wanted to know why he did that even more.
"Of course, my verbal skills aren't that bad … It's best to see a person's true nature when they're on the line between life and death. I still have some trouble on my hands, but I also have some benefits. It'll just depend on whether or not they're lucky. "
"It seems that you're quite satisfied with the test results?"
"It's alright. If they casually abandoned their companions, it would be a good choice to casually kill them off. I'm telling the truth. The value of the information they have is far greater than their lives. "
"… It's best to prepare more words to say about how you treasure your companions. Say them more later."
"What?"
"That's because your companions have already exploded in anger because of you. They're all cursing Roland for being such a lunatic. If you're in such a hurry, why don't you just die earlier …"
[Congratulations, your professional ability to make your companions suffer has already been recognized by the System and Fate.
