Volume 6, Chapter 19: I knew you wouldn’t blow yourself up
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
In the unsealed state, Tomochika was able to shift to battle instantly without any warning.
In the long history of the Dannoura, not only the body but also the mind had been trained for battle.
One moment they were chatting, the next moment she was knocking someone down with a single blow. This is the mentality of Dannoura.
Those who could fight a little were talking about the ever-present battlefield, but there were not many who could do so.
They couldn’t expect someone they’ve just been talking to to come at them out of the blue, and most of the time they just fall over helplessly.
The pirate with the cutlass probably didn’t even realize he was being attacked.
A blow to the jaw would shake the brain, a blow to the heart would cause cardiac shock. It was not enough to just hit those vital points hard, there was an optimum amount of force, and Dannoura had figured it out.
It was enough to make a person fall into a coma, but Tomochika attacked even the groin as a last resort. This is the first time they’ve ever seen such a thing.
As the pirate-looking man fell, Tomochika set her sights on her next target.
There were two more in the immediate vicinity. The first was an old man with glasses and the second was a rugged man in leather armor.
Tomochika lightly pushed the fallen man and shoved him against the man in the leather armor.
The pirate leaned over and the man in leather armor held him with both hands. Tomochika appeared behind him and hit him in the head with her palm.
The two men fell in a mess, and Tomochika stomped on their faces, just to be sure.
The older man was not a combatant, or he would have been able to react to Tomochika’s sudden attack.
He tried to scream, so she stabbed him with her knife. The old man also fainted and collapsed.
Once she started a fight, she would never think of going easy on someone in the middle of it. That was what most martial arts teached, and it was the same in the Dannoura school.
“Hmm. I guess you’ll just have to force your way through.!
“Can’t you fight, Mokomoko?“ The two of them would be able to expand the scope of the fight. It will also make it easier to escape, thought Chika.
“In my case, it’s like flying a radio-controlled car. I can’t fight well with this body.”
“I hope you’ll blow yourself up!”
The scream was thwarted, so there was some time before it was noticed.
Tomochika was in the middle of the lounge. There were two entrances, one in the front and one in the back.
Tomochika threw the nearest chair forward, then quickly turned around and ran to the rear.
It seemed that all gifts had been disabled now, so no magic would hit her.
If that was the case, throwing a chair at him would block the line of fire for a moment.
There were still two people at the rear exit.
As Tomochika ran, she threw things around her.
Cups, ashtrays, chairs and tables. It is a basic skill of the Dannoura Archery to instantly grasp the center of gravity of an object just by touching it and use it as a flying tool.[1]
She approached the doorway with the rolling table and kicked the man’s hands and knees as he cowered and was holding his face.
With the same momentum, she opened the door and stepped out into the hallway.
“This way!”
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar boy standing there.
He was a mercenary with his mother, a boy they met at the port.
He seemed to be trying to help her.
However, Tomochika ran to the opposite side of the boy.
Maybe he was just being kind to her, but she felt uncomfortable.
He looked different from when they had met him at the port.
The story she had heard from Yogiri that some people were being manipulated by something also crossed her mind.
In other words, she couldn’t trust him. She decided that she should not get close to him.
“Hmm. You are far from a Seducer. Isn’t this the place to ask for help from a handsome man?” [2]
Mokomoko, who was following her, said.
“Do you really think I should have done that?
“I don’t think so!”
“Then don’t say it!”
『I made it down to the first floor of the guest house. 』
„I’m on my way!”
Tomochika responded to Yogiri’s voice and decided to head for the accommodation building.
＊＊＊＊＊
A bit back in time.
It was right after the Hornet’s personality had been devoured and Iselda had surfaced.
Shee(he?) had sucked up all of his mother’s magic, and when she had enough energy, she went out into the hallway.
Iselda searched for a sign, but she couldn’t sense anything.
“Hmm. It can’t be that far away.”
But then again, she had such a wide variety of skills. She was sure he had a few tricks up his sleeve as well.
But that didn’t mean she could let it go unnoticed.
There was a limit to the activity of this body. She wanted to get some results before it stopped.
Iselda decided to use the bugs.
They were like an alter ego that she had created earlier by transforming her own left arm.
She had regenerated the left arm, but the bugs were still floating around. She could scatter them around the area.
This would allow her to explore the surrounding area, and some of them will be able to control those around by paratizing them.
There were many descendants of Iselda, and she was sure there were some on this ship that had her blood in their veins. They were part of Iselda, and if they were activated by the bugs, they could act for Iselda to some extent.
Iselda had reincarnations all over the world. It was a trick to reincarnate herself as a strong person, and a safety measure just in case.
Even if the main Iselda was destroyed, another Iselda would eventually appear from somewhere and carry out its purpose.
In a sense, Iselda is immortal.
But even so, she couldn’t just sit around and wait for her current vessel to be destroyed.
Iselda’s activity limit could be extended by magic power. It would be more efficient to leave the activated Iselda to the gathering of magic power.
As I began to diffuse the bugs, the ship shook.
She had received some kind of shock.
Being suspicious, Iselda went back to her room and looked out the window.
A tentacle was wrapped around the ship.
“I’m pretty sure I saw something like this in the ancient relics.”
Iselda herself was like a ghost from ancient times, but there have been many supposedly ancient relics since the time when Iselda’s main body was alive.
She had seen something similar in the research she was involved in on magic.
She had not been able to activate it at the time, but it was said that someone had awakened the ancient relic.
Iselda searched for a sign.
The presence of the man from earlier was completely undetectable, but other than that, there was no problem.
A staircase extended from the tentacles of the relic, and people began to descend.
Then, suppression actions were started in various places.
Those guarding the ship were of no help.
The system’s gift was not functioning. Those who relied on the Gift were apparently helpless in the face of mere brute force.
„How… convenient.“
Iselda was suddenly intrigued.
A man with strange skills, an ancient relic and gift deactivation.
Any one of them would have been interesting, but they all appeared in rapid succession.
It may seem a little too convenient for Yselda, but in her long life, coincidences often coincide. There was nothing suspicious about this.
Iselda changed her priorities.
She would let the bugs search for the man who had disappeared, but not until later.
Instead, she would prioritize the ancient relics and gift disabler that she could surely contact.
Those who looked like pirates gathered the passengers in several places and put them under house arrest, and a few of them seemed to be keeping watch.
However, some of them made their way to the wheelhouse. Iselda had an idea that it was probably the ringleader.
Iselda went out the window of the room.
Iselda is a person who was known as a great mage before the Gifts spread throughout the world.
It was no surprise that she was able to fly even though the Gift was sealed.
It also seemed to have the effect of sealing off other gifts, but it was a power that Yselda could ignore.
Flying through the air, Iselda entered the control room in the middle of the ship.
A woman, dressed as a man, was threatening a man who looked like the captain with a drawn sword.
She was trying to get him to change course.
“Just as I thought. You look vaguely familiar. You’re the royalty of the Manny Kingdom, aren’t you?
The royal family of the Manny Kingdom had a sealing power.
It was the only way to keep demons from crawling out of the demon world beneath the kingdom.
They had different strengths and weaknesses, but this woman seemed to have the most powerful one.
It would cover the whole ship and contain it completely.
“If you have that much power, you would have been crowned even if you didn’t want to be. What are you doing here as a pirate?”
“What’s with that, boy?”
The woman screamed and stared at Iselda.
The power became even more powerful, and the magic that leaked from Iselda began to dissipate.
It was not enough to seal off her power, but it was still a big deal.
It seemed to be the highest level of sealing ability that Iselda had ever seen.
“This is great. I’d love to study it.”
The kingdom of Manny was the territory of the great mage Iglesia, so she did not touch it.
But if she was a pirate in a place like this, it didn’t matter if she turned on them, capture them, study them, or make them give birth to children.
“What’s the Kingdom got to do with it? Did those bastards send you?
The woman turned her sword from the captain and pointed it at Iselda.
“Hmm. It’s all well and good, but there won’t be a fight.”
Immediately, the woman collapsed.
She struggled to move, but at best her body trembled slightly.
„What have you done?“
“I let the bugs in and they paralyzed you. What a relief. I didn’t know the relationship between your mentality and your abilities. I won’t try to control your mind.”
But then the woman fainted.
Iselda approached the woman, wondering if she had made a mistake.
Upon examination, it appeared that she had poison in her mouth.
“Well, well, well. You’re quite prepared. But I don’t want you to think that you can die from this level of poison.”
As the woman fainted, the disabling ability stopped.
The rest was easy. Iselda used the recovery class antidote and recovery skills.
The woman’s face, which had turned pale, immediately came to life.
“Well. I got Manny royalty and I can get her to tell me about the ancient relics. Now I just need to get that guy, …… or better yet, get that woman with the interesting body too.”
She never knew what the pirates would do to her if she had left her there.
Objectively speaking, she had a body that attracted men. The pirates would be tempted to kill her for her excessive humiliation.
The woman needed to give birth to a child, and she couldn’t be allowed to die here.
Iselda decided to go to the lounge where the passengers were under house arrest.
