Wortenia War - 1 E 2 (Summoned to another world) 2
"You finally kicked the bucket huh!"
The old man who fire a killing move magic spell gasping for breath.
Among the magic he can use, he chose the shortest incantation and had the highest killing ability.
That's why the old man relaxed his guard. He did not check whether Ryouma has actually died.
His movement is unthinkable for someone who has a 100kg body. The distance between him and the old man immediately closed in a flash.
It is an easy trick.
Just that.
If by any chance, the magic art the old man uses was something that causes spears to appears and pierced through the ground then, without a doubt, Ryouma's body won't last.
For the old man, it was a technique that brings a sure death.
Human is a creature that always being careless when being confident.
This two overconfidence are the things that brought victory to Ryouma.
Ryouma's kick breaks the old man left elbow.
However, for the old man, that smile is the most dreadful thing.
"Guuuu..."
But, the old man still did not say anything. The old man did not say anything and endured the pain while crouching down.
From the old man left ear that began getting ripped off, blood dripped little by little.
"S- Stop it. Let go of your hand!"
"Well well. Let go you said? Is that how a person asked something? Good grief... it seems like, despite your old age, you don't understand how to listen when somebody is talking."
He's showing his usual thin smile, but, that glint from his narrowing eyes feels chilling like ice.
His eyes are sharp, and his face is expressionless just like that of Noh mask.
The real nature of a beast. And this old man becomes the first victim of Ryouma's true character.
*Gogun*
Dull sound resounded from the old man side once again.
"Gyaaaaa~~!"
Scream like a beast comes out from the mouth of the old man.
Because he hit the old man without letting go the old man left ear, the old man left ear remained in Ryouma hand.
"You know~ old man. Be obedient alright? I only need a few answer, and it will end you know?"
Ryouma walked toward the old man in a slow pace.
"P...lease... ugh... sto...p ... it... I will talk... anything..."
Because the old man has broken ribs injury, every time he speaks, bloods coming out from his mouth.
Indeed he won't be able to endure any more pain. The old man then began talking while enduring pain.
"Fuu, I understand, I understand. Well then, answer the first question. Where is this?"
"Here is... Ortomea... Empire... Royal palace. "
"Ortomea Empire?"
Hearing the old man answer, doubt appeared on Ryouma face.
He can almost say all countries name that exists on earth. However, he's unfamiliar with a country called Ortomea Empire that comes out from the mouth of the old man.
"That's... right. the ruler... of west central... part... of the... continent. '
After he said that, the old man is coughing blood once again.
However, nobody knows what he thought of, and what inside his inner feeling, There's no way to peek what's in his mind.
"Now then, the third question... because this is the most important issue, answer it properly alright? it will significantly affect to what will happen to you from here on!"
Saying that, Ryouma looked toward the old man face.
"Can I returned to my original world?"
His voice is calm. Though his voice sounds coarse, but, there's not a feeling of someone coercing another person. It feels like someone talking with a close acquaintance. However, that is what makes it more terrifying.
The old man considers lying so that he can survive this place desperately.
(Should I say he can return? No, speaking about wanting to go back, he must be wanting to go back as soon as possible. If that is the case then, what should I say? should I say the preparation need times?)
As the chief of Ortomea Empire imperial court magician who's being hailed as Ortomea brains, Gaies Wookland, he can't be killed by a mere commoner.
He definitely feels the old man pulse grew faster, but, he don't know if it's because of the old man trying to tell a lie, or because of the bone fracture, or because of the old man fear toward Ryouma.
In other words, what the answer might be, it would be bad for Ryouma. Seeing that the old man did not respond to it immediately, that means he was considering lying to get himself out from this situation.
"Y-You bastard... that... kind of ability..."
"Now now~ say it already. Can I go back? Or I can't go back?"
After finding himself terribly troubled, Gaies finally opened his mouth.
He has been summoning at least 100 people from another world, but there's no one like his type.
Among the summoned people, there's also some who gives a sense of danger to Gaies and the others. However, they are no match for the soldiers.
But, the young men who stood in front of him now is different.
Up until now, Ryouma has no mercy toward his opponent, which makes Gaies understand what kind cold-hearted person he is.
His heart throbbed to the point as if going to burst out.
(It can't be... no, he can't possibly understand. since he's someone who just arrived from another world...)
However, Gaies wish did not come true. The words that come out from Ryouma, for him, it's sounds as if an invitation to hell.
"For something like a technique to send another world people back did not exist means, possibly because there's no intention to send us back right? There's no meaning sending off the corpse, after all, that's why you people didn't research about technique to send us back. That's why, no nation have any method for us to return. That's how it is right? How is it! Am I wrong?"
