Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 231.3
When I called them “rebels” with contempt without changing my expression, the faces of those who still had reason and intelligence, including the captain, changed color.
“How dare you, a knight of the Dark Side, mock our aspirations!”
The young soldier shouted, thrusting his spear, dodging the attack of the spear and the immortal and slashing at the soldier’s arm with his knife. The soldier dropped the spear and retreated, but he grinned and pulled out his sword, showing off his healing arm.
“You greedy Margrave dogs! Our justice, given power by His Highness the King’s brother–“
“Don’t accept our attacks so carelessly!”
“I-I’m sorry, Captain.”
The captain admonished the young soldier who was talking about something, and the soldier’s face turned pale as if he remembered something.
“…”
Margrave…? Why did that name come up here? Because I lied about the name of the Dark Side?
That’s also interesting, but why do immortals care about wounds? This may be related to whether immortals have reason or not.
All the while, I dodged the attacks of the mindless immortals, slashing at them with my knife, but the doll-like soldiers didn’t flinch and crossed the line of death, and I was cornered against the trunk of a large tree by attacks that exceeded the limits of my physical strength.
These immortals have not yet become “beasts” like the Temple Knights.
Some still retain reason and intelligence. Some only listen to orders like dolls. And some attack like beasts…If the difference between these three is because I stopped them earlier, then somehow I can see what it means.
“Wait! Surround them so they don’t escape!”
At the commander’s words, the immortals stop moving and scatter to surround me.
It’s certainly a surefire way to fight while reducing damage. But in this state, it would be quicker to neutralize me if I let the immortals attack me.
But the reason why he went to the trouble of stopping it to “reduce the damage” was-
“Because if they die too much, you can’t control them?”
“… you bastard!”
It was a guess I didn’t really want to be right, but it seems to have been correct.
Perhaps they themselves were not informed, but immortals parasitized by insects “die” from the parts of their bodies that are injured…
When the host’s body is injured, the parasitic insect repairs or regenerates. But there is no such convenient story that you can get an immortal body for no price.
When the injured body part dies, the insect manipulates the flesh and blood vessels like necromancy, and forcibly connects them together. I think there is probably a limit of magic like vampires, but they have a regenerative power similar to that of vampires.
That is why if they are injured too much, they are no longer living, and their reason is gradually lost.
The temple knights were able to control them well, but these soldiers could not control the beast-like immortals.
“…What are you going to do with a body like that? Is that what His Highness the King’s brother did? At least Lord Melrose and Lord Dandol don’t do that.”
“Shut up, you Prime Minister’s dog!”
As I asked another question that had been bothering me, the soldier who was surely worried about his body raised his voice as expected.
“You filthy owners of the dark side are finished. Even if the Dandol family is the commander of the knights, they can’t protect themselves against two hundred immortal soldiers without their knights to protect!”
“…”
Attacking the Dandol family? If that’s what you mean, it means a simultaneous attack on the Melrose and Dandol families.
