Betrayed by My Best Friend and Dumped by My Fiancée, I’ve Decided to Enjoy Life as I Please ~ For Some Reason, a Bunch of Crazy Fanatics Keep Pledging Their Loyalty to Me~
“It seems we have an uninvited guest. Let me introduce myself later.”
What a bad time to make a first impression.
First impressions are very important when you meet someone for the first time.
Well, let’s take this guy down and talk slowly.
“Iris, this guy is a lower grade A or upper grade B monkey killer. His biology means that he doesn’t tend to stay in packs, but I’m happy to give you some training.”
Killer monkeys are giant apes, Class C demons that have suddenly gone berserk and grown to enormous size.
They do not form a pack because as soon as they go berserk, they devour and kill even their own pack mates.
I asked Iris if I could train her, and she began to watch the killer monkey intently.
“It might be a little too much for me to handle but…..”
Iris reports honestly that it might be too much for her.
It’s important to be able to calmly compare your abilities with those of others, and the worst thing to do is to be told that you can do something when you can’t.
I am glad to see that you are following the teachings.
“You understand it well. Then, stand your ground with that in mind. Sometimes you can’t escape from a battle, even if it’s an unintended battle with a superior opponent. I will support you from behind, so go for it.”
“I understand. This Iris, I will show you that I will live up to your expectations, Rex-sama. Here I come!”
Iris pulls out her rapier and charges at Killer Monkey.
Iris, who is not very strong, is good at this tactic, and she is determined to win the battle before her opponent can do anything to her.
However, the battle was not going to be so easy…
“Woooo! ukyaa!”
Just as Iris’s rapier is about to pierce the neck, a common weakness of all creatures, Killer Monkey’s arm protects his neck.
The hard, oily pelt of the killer monkey’s arm was unable to penetrate the creature’s neck, and it slid away from Iris’s attack.
“Wha, ……!”
“Iris! Aim where the fur doesn’t belong!”
“….! I understand!”
Iris was upset for a moment, but immediately resumed her attack.
I think this quick switch is a good score.
If Iris is in danger, I will support her from behind with magic, and I will identify the problems and good points.
“Oh, um, ……”
“Hnn? What’s wrong?”
After the battle continued for a while, Anastasia spoke to me from behind, looking timid.
Since the situation was not that urgent, I obediently accepted.
“Is it safe for you to be alone against that monster? ……”
“Iris is not so weak that she can be defeated so easily. If things get really dangerous, I’ll help right away.”
Iris is an invaluable friend.
I don’t mean to be overprotective, but I can’t afford to lose her like this.
I honestly do not know if she can win, but I do not think she will be beaten easily.
And so, little by little, Iris began to push Killer Monkey.
After a few small steps and tossing and turning, Iris started to stab at his furless eyes, mouth, nose, and buttocks.
But since neither of them was very decisive, they could not settle the score.
And then, suddenly, it was decided…
“Ah, …….”
A small voice escapes from Iris and her legs get tangled.
Killer Monkey doesn’t miss that moment.
He raises his fist and looks at Iris without hesitation.
“Hohoho! Hohohoho!”
“Wha! Watch out!”
“aaaah!”
Roger’s voice and Anastasia’s scream echoes as the fist slams down.
Well, I’m not going to let Iris get hit.
I was now holding Iris in my arms and catching Killer Monkey’s attack with my sword.
“Ugh …… sorry for causing you trouble ……”
“No, from the start you understood that you were in over your head and were able to stand up for yourself. I have to admit, you exceeded my expectations.”
“But ……”
“Reflect on it later. I’ll train you harder later.”
“……! Yes!”
That’s a really nice smile.
The training I’ve done so far must have been pretty tough, but I’m glad to see you’re pleased. ……
After I flicked off Killer Monkey’s arm, I backed up with Iris in my arms and set her down near Anastasia and the others.
“I’m going to go get him. Iris doesn’t have to move too much, just protect them from the flying debris. Can you do that?”
“Of course I can. I’ll take care of that.”
“You got it.”
Iris puts her hand
Killer Monkey is a little out of breath and bleeding from the fight with Iris.
I was thinking that there might be a defensive situation, so I’m glad to see Iris doing so well.
She has grown up to be very reliable.
“Now, training is over. I will defeat him on behalf of Iris. Unlike Iris, don’t expect me to be nice to you.”
“! Wooo!”
Killer Monkey, with his ferocious instincts, clenches his right fist so hard that it makes a sound as he comes at me.
I pull out my sword and flash it at him without moving.
“Hmmm, it’s only a beast after all. There’s no way this monotonous attack is going to hit.”
My sword slashes away Killer Monkey’s right arm without even the hard fur struggling like butter.
Fresh blood danced and Killer Monkey screamed.
The killer monkey begins to retreat backwards.
It is a wild creature, after all, and it has strong instincts in times like this.
I have no intention of letting him go.
“u…uho”
“Let’s settle this, shall we? Come on, attack me.”
As I approached, Killer Monkey turned away and began to run.
Even though it only has one arm, it travels along thick branches at considerable speed.
“…I don’t really need his materials. It’s a pain to chase him, so I’ll just defeat him with magic. I call the great earth, and use its power to destroy your enemies. Earth-destruction pillar.'”
The moment I finished chanting and unleashed my magical power, a pillar rapidly appeared from the ground beneath Killer Monkey and struck him in the stomach.
The Killer Monkey’s internal organs were compressed at once, and it was thrown into the air, its eyes flashing white.
This is the first time I’ve used this magic, but it’s not bad.
With this magic, you can disable your enemies without killing them.
“The experiment with magic isn’t over yet, though. Let’s try the other one as well. My call is the thunder of anger, become a spear and pierce my enemies”
In an instant, a small cloud appeared and the lightning transformed into the shape of a spear.
At the moment the lightning flashed, it had already pierced Killer Monkey and scorched him to a crisp.
“It’s more powerful than I thought,……, but I’ll have to think about how to use it. And anyway, magic is great. It’s a lot of power, minus the chanting required.”
Before my reincarnation, Rex didn’t use magic much.
Of course, he could use it if he wanted to, but the sword seemed to suit him better, and his overwhelming memories are of him training with it.
Apparently, he didn’t like the time it took to chant and the fact that his next move could be read because of the chanting.
I had no magic in my previous life, and I would have loved to use it, but I guess that’s a matter of personality and values.
“In any case….. defeat is complete.”
I’m going to walk out to Iris and the others, looking at what I have to do now.
In my twin eyes, I saw Roger and Anastasia…
