Chapter 21 The Chains That Bind Even Gods
"Amazing. Truly amazing, Teti. Now, let's exterminate the pests that dared to interrupt my sacred ritual!"
Klaus exclaimed with excitement, spreading his arms dramatically.
――Is he planning to control Teti with a sl*ve collar and have her attack me? What a pathetic idea.
"Teti, attack that man."
"...I-I can't..."
"Haha, resisting is futile. By increasing the magic power flowing into the sl*ve collar like this!"
"G-Grrrrrrrrrrr――!"
After a roar that seemed to be consumed by a destructive impulse, Teti's red eyes turned even deeper crimson.
And those eyes were now fixed on me.
――Shing!
A swift flash barely grazed my hair.
It was an attack that seemed like it could have torn a normal person's body apart.
Despite her petite appearance, the pressure emanating from the silver light enveloping her body was tremendous.
Before I knew it, her injured arm that Klaus had hurt had also healed.
"You knew, didn't you? About this kid's job ability."
"Yes, that's right. I never thought she would be useful here."
As Klaus let out a snicker, the controlled Teti continuously launched attacks at me.
Dodging the attacks thrown at me while leaping quickly, I measured the distance between Teti and me without using my Igarima.
"Hehe. It seems you can't bring yourself to attack her after all. Teti, you're performing more than enough as livestock before being executed."
"Ugh, ugh..."
Tears overflowed from Teti's red eyes.
I don't want to――
Don't yield――
Resist――
Her inner cries overflowed.
"I understand your aim, Black-Robed Executor. You're trying to destroy the sl*ve collar controlling her, aren't you?"
"..."
"However, it's futile. The job ability of the [Divine Wolf], said to appear once every hundred years among the beastman ace. There's no way you can capture her."
Indeed, as Klaus said, Teti's movements enhanced by her job ability were remarkably swift.
She was incomparable to the Gale and the thieves I fought in the past.
――However, it's not impossible to capture her.
I measured the distance while Teti's movements slightly slowed down, and activated my job ability.
==============================
Total Execution Coefficient: 112,846 points
Do you want to execute [Chains that Bind Even Gods] by consuming 30,000 points of Execution Coefficient?
==============================
――Agreed.
"Raging Rule, activate."
In response to my voice, cracks appeared in the space around Teti.
From the cracks that appeared surrounding Teti in all directions emerged "chains."
These golden iron chains bound her limbs, completely restricting her movements.
"What... What kind of ability is that!? Ugh, this..."
"It's useless. No matter how much magic you pour into Teti, you can't break these chains."
"Kuh, Kuh..."
Klaus muttered for a moment, then lifted his head with a triumphant expression and shouted,
"But you can't break these sl*ve collar! After all, they are special sl*ve collar made of the world's hardest Orichalcum! No matter how much destruction you attempt――"
"Then I can rest easy. I can easily cut through that with my Igarima."
"You're bluffing...!"
It's true.
I had once slashed through Orichalcum two years ago.
Moreover, the Execution Coefficient that Igarima was currently having was much higher than it was back then. With this, I should be able to destroy it, even if it's imbued with the enemy's magic.
I raise my Igurima, aiming at the sl*ve collar attached to Teti's neck.
Even though I am facing Teti, it is Klaus who is controlling her.
It seems that my partner is also manifesting based on Klaus's Execution Coefficient.
A dark flow gathers around my raised Igurima.
And then, I command the jet-black scythe.
"(Cut it off, Igurima) ――"
――Swoosh.
As I swing Igurima, the detestable collar attached to Teti's neck shatters simultaneously.
I catch Teti, who is thrown powerless as the binding chains disappear.
"Ah..."
When Teti opens her eyes, her once blood-red eyes return to normal.
Understanding the situation, Teti's face contorts in a mix of emotions.
"Uh, ahh.... aaaaaahhhhh...!!"
Is that feeling relief, sorrow, or anger?
Tears streamed down her wet cheeks as my black robe was tightly grasped.
"T-thank――"
"Whoops, it's too early for thanks. That damn bastard is still out there."
"...Uh, yeah."
As I gently let go, Teti looked at me with a different determination in her eyes than before.
"Please. He's been targeting all the beastmen――"
"...Alright. I'll take on that revenge."
Teti slowly smiled at my words.
Then, I turned to the bewildered Klaus and declared,
"Are you ready, you bastard?"
The main culprit this time.
I aimed my Igurima at the target.
――Now, it's time for execution.
