Chapter 7
“A small hut?”
I don’t know why, but after meeting up with the blonde woman, I seem to be transferred here?
“Uh….where is this place?”
This place is covered with a thick fog and the only thing that I can see is the small fragile hut in front of me. I walk towards the hut and approach the wooden door. Should I knock? Or shouldn’t I? But before I even had the chance to decide, the door suddenly start to move with a creaking sound. What is this? A horror movie?
I entered the hut and everything there is in a complete darkness. I can’t even see a speck of light in this hut.
“H-hello? Anyone there?!”
I tried to shout hoping for some response, but it seems there is none. I start to walk slowly while feeling the cold atmosphere penetrating through my skin. Just what kind of person that lives in this hut?
While walking deeper into the hut, I felt like my feet seems to hit an object that is hard. I bend down and tried to feel the unknown object. It seems to be made of wood? Maybe it’s a table or a chair?
“……Is there even a person lives in this place?”
Unable to hide my anxiety, I started to walk in a faster pace hoping to find someone.
“Helloooo!! Anyone there!!!!?”
After shouting a few times, there is still no response. Does that blonde woman sent me here so I can live here? For what reason?
“Ah….I’m hungry…”
Suddenly, from the hut’s door, I can hear the same creaking sounds. In that instance, I immediately turn my head back to see the person who opened the door.
“Eh? Who’re you?”
In that moment, it is where my first love came to bloom.

****
U-ugh….what the hell? Ah shit! Did I passed out!? I immediately open my eyes and what I saw is a blue beam striking towards me.
“Damn it! !”
I summoned my instantly and cut through the blue beam. In an instant, I move step-back and jump up while hovering on the mid-air. From above I have seen the clear image below.
A total destruction. The grassland can’t even be called it’s past name anymore. A total landscape change, from peaceful grassland, it turns into a volcanic land. It’s a pity for the dragon girl and the corpses, there’s nothing I can do for them by now.
I turn my face to the front and found a woman figure. Iustitia, The Justice. Without my , it is rather hard to keep up with her. But of course it’s not that I’m unable to damage her.
“…….It is quite a feat for you take my arm from me.”
That’s right, I managed to cut off her left arm to discard her half . Ius’s is quite unique from the others, as she holds two than one. This is what makes her a terrifying enemy.
“Well it’s not that difficult at all.”
I tried to keep up my appearance, but it is rather hard to do that. My condition right now is quite bad. Right leg detached, with half of my right shoulder is pierced. And I can’t even use my right arm anymore.
“…..Not like you’re any better than me.”
“Hah! I can still fight in this state. Come on now!”
“Don’t talk big, in the end you’ll just regret your action. , grab the hold of this guy!”
Ah dang it! That damned hand again!
is one of Ius’s the right arm part. It held the power to keep the enemies on hold, but without giving any damage. The other part, is the terrifying one. It held the power that is enough to blast me into smithereens. That is why I took that advantage from her. Control and punishment huh, what a complete set for her title.

“The false, the truth, which one would win in the end? “
“Stop blabbering nonsense Ius. Freedom is my path, to what kind of journey that I’ll thread, it is my own decision to decide it! Not you, and not even any other Sovereign!”
While feeling the anger, the determination and the willpower inside of my body, I burst through the sky like a meteorite.
“ ! Immortality! “
My body regenerated in a terrifying rate and my whole body is filled with the essence of life. This is my , The Immortal.
“Do you seriously think you can end this after using your ? I do admit that it is quite a monster , but in the end it will only recover you.”
“We will see that first!”
I speed through the air fighting with the wind resistance and increase my momentum towards it’s limit, and finally appear in front of the huge gauntlet, .
“I’ll cut through this with my !!!”
I stand in front of the huge gauntlet, and slash through it is what I wish to happen. But reality is always cruel.
*Crack*
“Eh?”
The sword slowly breaks into a few pieces and finally burst into some small blue particles. The gauntlet in front of me instantly grab the hold of my body while releasing a huge gravity pressure around me. Completely locked.
“………”
While standing on the mid-air with a satisfied face, Ius hover downwards while slowly heading to my position.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“………”
“Hah…I know that you’re having a problem with Amare, but there is nothing that you can do about it. Becoming a Sovereign’s retainer is the same as being a servant for us. I am not sure what kind of condition that you have with her, but the only thing that you can do now is too obey her.”
“…….”
“Do you think you’re the only one who dreams of freedom? There are a lot of others that had a similar dream like you, but in the end what happened to them? They will just fall from their dream and regretted their action in the end. That is how reality is.”
“……”
“…..I guess there’s nothing that will go in your head right now. As promised, I’ll bring you to the Judgement Hall.”
“Hey.”
“Hrm?”
“Do you know what the difference between me and them?”
“………What is it?”
“If I fall, then I’ll get up. That’s it. No matter how many times that I will fall, I’ll stand up no matter what happen. Because that is the path that I have tread.”
“In the end all of that is only a big talk. Just what can you do in this kind of situation?”
Hearing her question, I can’t help but to widely smile.
“You seriously shouldn’t spoke that, it will activate a very bad flag for you.”
“What do you mean?”
Finally huh, now that’s the expression that I want to see from her face.
“If you ask me, what can I do in this kind of situation, there’s only one answer. I’ll cut it.”
“Cut?”
A multiple white particle slowly pops out from my right arm.
“!?”
“I am thee and thou art me……..”
“.”

Malt the Manslayer
This story does not follow a hero. Malt doesn’t slay dragons with a holy sword nor is he granted immense magical power when he transfers. Unlike his three classmates, he was brought into the new world not as a mythical hero, but with stats comparable if not worse than the average townsfolk. Assaulted by feelings of inadequacy and weakness, he leaves the comfortable castle life that the royalty offered him and decides to help his new country in the only way he thinks he can. By joining the war on the southern border. Not a war against mythical beasts or powerful demons, but against other humans. He thought that he’d finish a single deployment then come back to the castle, proud enough to stand beside his friends again. Little did he know that he’d become one of the most feared fighters on the battlefield, killing so many that he’d earn the moniker, “Malt the Manslayer.”
