Chapter 378.2

However, her scarslook pitiful The magic crests have been imprinted onto the surface of the pyramidal flesh protrusions which are growing out of the scars. And the threads extending out of the pyramids are mysteriously connected with the magic books threads.

Mu was locked up by the vampires precisely because she possesses such a unique bodyone can immediately guess that someone tampered with her body as a child.

Nya Rollo seems to also feel sympathy for Muu after seeing her body, seeing how she meows sadly.

Still, I wonder what has been done to Muu. Are these operations that have been performed on her body the reason for her having lost her voice? Or maybe she doesnt talk because of the trauma of her family having been killed or her having been kidnapped?

While feeling sorrow clamping down on my chest, I created an arm out of wood, and then went on to make her a leg.

Maybe she went through experiments that used various parts of her like her blood? Is the Valmask family attempting to create new lifeforms in this world? You could even say its a way of thinking typical of reincarnators, if Hoffmann has been spearheading such scientific experiments. Creating new lifethats extremely interesting in itself.

I also created a

in Tsuan & Purin & Catiza. And the Light Demon Lucival also belong to the side of darkness as beings desiring blood.

But, kidnapping a great number of innocent people and using them as materials while theyre still alive or killing them is despicable. Even if they werent innocent, violating their personal will is

Well, this wont lead anywhere. After all, evil follows its own justice which has thus has its own righteous cause.

Just as I thought thatI finished Muus artificial leg and arm, albeit very simple versions.

I wonder whether this will be okay. I guess itll be alright as long as I regularly adjust the size to match Muus growth. I created openings at the ends of the prostheses to allow them to mesh with the pyramidal protrusions. If only I had something like silicon to fill the gaps caused by the unevennesses of the pyramids, it would make the movements of the prostheses much smoother.

Mysty might have been able to create amazing prostheses which would have integrated metallic parts like the new leg she made for Eva. But for now, these simple versions will do.

Alright. How are they? Can you walk?

nh. Muu smiles, apparently overjoyed about having obtained new artificial limbs.

She starts to walk around while breathing out. She seems to be limping in a cute way, but for the time being, she can use the artificial leg for walking. Then again, she did walk nimbly even when she had just one leg. I had thought so before, but she must have trained her inner muscles quite a bit. That or just as those scars suggestMuus body might contain unknown monster parts or special muscle tissues

I meanjust the fact of her body possessing a connection with a magic bookis already plenty weird to begin with Im slightly worried about her future.

Youll catch a cold if you stay like that, so put on your clothes.

Hearing my words, Muu stopped. She turned around, and came back in a trot. Her expression beamed somehow with her smiling brightly. She picked up the simple dress, put her artificial arm through its sleeve, and pulled the dress over herself.

Muu apparently becomes aware of the existence of her artificial arm as it protrudes out of the sleeve. Lifting her new arm several times, she points its scissor-shaped end towards the sunlight. She looks truly happy. Her heart seems to leap with joy.

Muu makes her artificial arm rotate.

Nn, nyaa Rollo also appears to be happy and delighted.

Next to Muu, Rollo starts to wander around her. At times she b.u.mps her head against Muus legs.

The axis of Muus new arm uses the same methods as that of a water wheel. I also added an axis at the wrist to allow her to swing the end part up and down. But, it has no fingers. Instead Ive equipped it with a gap, allowing the insertion of weapons such as spears, and a wooden mechanism imitating scissors, allowing it to grab things.

Muu, here you have the magic book back.

Muu nods.

Apparently manipulating the threads extending from the pyramids tips, she makes them pa.s.s through the interior of the artificial limbs, just for them to shoot out at the holes I had added. Those strings and the strings of the magic book connect in midair, but she doesnt pull the book to herself.

Muu lets the book float above her head.

Still, I gotta say, the prostheses came out surprisingly wellMysty might have been surprised, if she saw them.

But, the all-important spearmans.h.i.+p training, huh? Back when I trained at the Goldiba village, Master Achilles hadnt taught proper martial arts to Lefa yet. Though it seems like Lefa learned it by secretly watching and training herself.

At that moment, Shuuya-sama!

Eh? We ran into an affair? Kisara, Id be really worried about the signs if I were you, even if the other party might be a child.

Stop saying stuff that p.i.s.ses me off to no end!

At that moment, the fate of Rotalz-kun was decided. Kisaras heel sank into his head directly from the front, causing it to dent in. Immediately following Rotalz crashed below the cliff that continued out of the village on the right side.

The sparks from his depressed forehead Hahaha, again?

I end up bursting into laughter because of his hilarious way of falling.

Kisara, that was a magnificent heel kick!

Its not worth mentioning, but thank you very much.

His Excellency exhibited a similar style of kicking technique during the mock battles with me, but your style is nice as well, Kisara. And it shows me that the demonoid martial arts of the Heavenly Witch Style, which handles many things from hand-to-hand combat to secret art-like magic, is truly bottomless!

For my fighting style to resemble Shuuya-samasthat makes me happy

While bashfully twisting her body in the air, Kisara places both her feet on the handle of her witch spear, and then descends towards the ground while riding the wind as if surfing. In no time Kisara lands beautifully while her spear vigorously embeds itself in the ground. She kicks off the ground, instantly closing the distance between us. As soon as shes in front of me, she genuflects and lowers her head.

Shuuya-sama, we continued watching the surroundings while strolling across the sky. A unit of wolfsmen led by Higlia-chan and Daon-dono kept patrolling the ground. This village is safe. However, according to a report by the Burning Knights, an orcish swordsman with a strange appearance and his platoon fought against various monsters in the distance.

The orcish swordsman was the one who gave the Burning Knights such a hard time, wasnt they? He was called Tokk Ghul Kaibacz, right? They mentioned a platoon led by an Ogre Skull User.

Well, the orcs have civilizations on the surface and in the underground, too. The orcs I encountered when exploring the big pa.s.sage of the Pel-Heca-Line werent all that strong, but Im sure they should have many outstanding fighters in their ranks.

I feel like Ive heard the Ogre Skull term somewhere else before

Oh well, whatever. Ill remake the villages main gate later, and it might also be a nice pastime to hunt down that orc platoon if I got some free time.

It seems like Higlia is helping Quiche by leading her own troops.

I recalled the conversation between her and Quiche during the meeting.

The battle is going badly for us ancient wolfsmen? Dont make me laugh. Its a daily occurrence for us to take back the territory after getting attacked over and over again. Besides, dont you feel it when looking at the movements of the companies led by Daon and Ryokline? Theyve come chasing after me while following the faintest traces of my scent within the Sea of Trees. Just by that fact, you should understand their individual prowess, right? And although Sachsel was defeated, there are still the clans led by wolf generals such as Azelan, Oulia, and Bydoln left in our hometown. Theyd lose to Shuuya, but theyre still strong. Especially Bydoln, Daons grandfather, possesses an abnormal strength that goes beyond mine whos received the G.o.d Wolfs divine protection. Hes an old wolf general, a living legend called

Werewolf Legend of Silver Fur

who returned alive from a battle against the Death b.u.t.terfly people Bydoln has thwarted all invasions by Ancient G.o.d Go Rads dragon flies and apostles. Currently hes protecting our Sea of Trees turf next to the

Valley of Hidden Time

. Or rather, hes actually expanding it into the

Valley of Hidden Time

Quiche looked very happy after she heard that, didnt she? Well, shes the village chief, so its only natural if you consider the villages security. After all, she gained a mighty power that looks like they could become an ally besides human forces.

As I pondered about that, I turned to Kisara and said, I see. Thanks for your work all the time.

No problem. Kisara answers curtly while looking at me with an entranced expression.

I smile at her.

At that point, the witch spear, which is on the other side of her head, enters my visual field. Its spearhead is stabbed in the ground. Its knuckle guard and handle furiously swing up and down as its filaments flutter as if depicting a banner.

Im reminded of Kisara when she held that spear. The battle surrounding the Eight White Shadow Star Sword Style at Lake Rhinoceros. She must have gone through countless battles in the great desert. She might have had a conspicuous presence like Jeanne DArc.

The battles between the Blood Bone Nymphs, martial artists, and demonoids should have been intense. Im also curious about the existence of the Desert Hermit Spear Kisara had mentioned to be lost. As expected, its most likely a magic spear. Precisely because Im a spearmaster

Thereupon, I can suddenly hear Puyuyus voice trembling, Puyuupuyuyu, puyuu

Helme has been holding the small bear cub at her chest like a plush toy. It apparently feels scared after having seen the power of Kisaras kick. Im sure it doesnt want to be on the receiving end of that heel kick.

Its round and cute eyes are trembling, it clenches its pure white teeth down as theyre chattering.

The sight of Rotalz, a huge darkness whale, going down like that must have been traumatizing. I can tell that its agitated. After all, its been launching its weird tiny dinosaur spell at Kisara.

Kisara seems to still worry about that time, seeing how she occasionally covers one breast.

Puyuyu makes its dense fur tremble. And then it inserts the back of its head into the Helmes cleavage created by her underb.o.o.bs. You d.a.m.n furry s.h.i.+t! Did you plan that!?

It looks like you like my breast, Puyuyu-chan. But, pressing against that place is a no no

Helme-san, who appears like a G.o.ddess holding a baby, flies down to us while commenting like that.

Muu seems to be proud of her new prostheses. Her strings are extending from the holes in the wood. While maintaining the connection between her own strings and the magic books strings, she walks step by step, using her unhurt and artificial leg in alternation. Her gait is still clumsy. However, I can sense from her that shell go on doing her best from now on.

For some reason, Rollo looks awfully triumphant next to Muu. She circulates a tentacle to the back of Muus knee, trying to support her so that she doesnt fall down.
