I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

94 – The Ascetic of Kapilavastu (7)

The Ascetic of Kapilavastu (7)

The fight started in the streets.

It came to an absurdly quick conclusion.

“I surrender.”

“……what?”

“No, this kid right now… …!”

That was Jim’s declaration of surrender.

So, it was inevitable that the two remaining people who were planning to have a full-scale confrontation would lose their motivation.

Even if Jim had just held out against the two of them, they would have found a way out, so wouldn’t it be meaningless to just surrender right away?

No matter how hard they struggle, they won’t achieve anything.

Because even if the two of them got along well, it would be meaningless since Jim, the center of the party, had surrendered.

“Okay. You’ve thought it through well, Mr. Jim. But you did something wrong, so shouldn’t you be punished?”

Irina said with a bright smile. To some, it looked like she was going to give Jim a simple lecture, but the Morning Star in her hand convinced Jim that it wasn’t to that extent.

“… … one ankle?”

Milia was still expressionless.

Although it was difficult to read his expression, that single word contained so much information that Jim had no choice but to take a step back.

“Eight!”

Wheeeeeek!

Irina’s advance.

Jim ducked his head to avoid the Morning Star, which swung with a scary momentum despite its cute shout.

“… … .”

And then Millia pointed the tip of her staff at the load.

Then, like a well-trained dog, the tentacles began to wiggle and surround Jim on all sides so that he could not escape.

Flowing water connection

They are from the same warrior party, but they know each other well because they hate each other.

Because it’s easier to bury things later if you know the other person.

Hurrah!

Even Jim had no choice but to properly defend himself against Millia’s sincere attack.

How could you just watch as sharp tentacles flew openly towards your ankles?

That is, Jim stopped himself from hiding. He blocked the tentacles flying with blue flames and burned them.

“… … Did you just burn mana?”

The tentacles made of slimy liquid didn’t evaporate; they burned.

It wasn’t a phenomenon created by magic, it was the magic itself that was burned.

“Stop, if you go any further than this, it won’t end easily for either of us.”

A pair of cool, sky blue eyes, different from usual, scan Irina and Milia.

That alone made the two of them flinch as if an electric current was running through their bodies.

Actually, it was something that couldn’t be helped.

I usually like him even though he does so many stupid things, so how surprising would it be if he suddenly showed off his cool side?

And now, unlike before, Jim did not hide himself.

Yes, not only with the seven emotions of the five desires and the eyes of a wise man, but also with my true self that stands in the middle.

“Of course, I think I’d rather have someone who embraces me than someone who punishes me. If we were to make a hundred-year promise, it would be someone like that… … .”

So Jim added wisdom to his self-consciousness by accepting the fact that he was popular.

That is, Jim now has the upper body of a wise man and the lower body of a pervert.

If two people like each other, then no matter what, if they say something like that, it can’t be considered an attack, right?

A burden that carries such meaning.

“I was joking, Jim.”

“Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you.”

And it worked.

Irina and Milia quickly change their attitudes and greet Jim with bright smiles.

“Huhh …

And there is one lonely person who is left in shock, unable to grasp the situation.

“Tina, I’ll explain it to you later, but for now… … .”

And there’s another person who, as the party leader, is trying to somehow manage this crazy situation.

And there were those who took advantage of that very crazy situation.

Creak.

It was Millia, moving her tentacles with her expressionless face.

However, surprisingly, the target of the tentacles was not Jim, but Irina.

A surprise attack. A perfect surprise attack.

but…….

Crunch! Cheeeeeeek!

The pure white barrier that warmly wrapped around Irina completely burned away Millia’s magic, and then immediately the automatic counterattack type sacred magic burned down the entire place where Millia was.

“You’re going too far! You’re suddenly attacking your own colleague! What’s going on, Milia?”

Irina pouted her lips as if she was disappointed and her eyes were filled with tears.

But, even while looking at that sight, Milia snorted.

“Considering what you say, isn’t the preparation more thorough than necessary? Irina.”

Milia, who had been hit directly by Irina’s divine magic, had wrapped her body with tentacles as if she knew she would be counterattacked. The two people knew each other very well.

There was a man who knew nothing about those two people.

“What the heck is this… … ?”

That was Jim who thought he had convinced both of them.

Unfortunately, Jim made one mistake before he could convince anyone.

Jim is the prince of Kapila who has been loved by many women in the past.

But, even though it was such a burden, it was something I had experienced for the first time.

It was a love in the form of fanaticism and obsession.

Yeah, the root of the problem was Jim saying that he would make a hundred-year promise with someone who could support him.

The two had already accepted the words as a definite fact rather than a metaphor, and were trying to eliminate their competitors for that rosy future.

“Would you mind dying if I bother you?”

“Haa… … Unfortunately, it seems that Lady Milia has become tainted by evil. There is nothing we can do about it, so let’s purify her.”

Milia, who speaks her mind candidly, and Irina, who makes excuses as if trying to justify her actions.

Is it an illusion that being honest and being dishonest feel terrible? No, probably not.

‘Hey, what the hell are these crazy b*tches doing?’

Esmeralda knew that it wasn’t a question of truth or falsehood.

“Hey, both of you calm down… … .”

“Stop. Don’t move, warrior.”

“… … That’s within the gap of my tentacles, Esmeralda.”

It’s just that everyone in this party is the problem.

The atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense. Esmeralda also slowly turns the direction of her holy sword at the sight of the two people.

“No! You’re saying that because Jim used magic earlier?!”

And at that moment, Tina shouted, as if she still didn’t understand the situation.

The three-way battle has begun.

***

In the end, Esmeralda succeeded in taking down both of them.

The warrior’s growth potential was beyond imagination. Of course, the problem was that it did not solve the fundamental problem.

Esmeralda had a duty to keep the two from interfering with the Tower of Heaven and the Cult of the Celestials.

Otherwise, she’ll die. No matter how many times you defeat the sect’s saint and the successor to the magic tower, you can’t defeat the entire group.

“Haak… … . Haak… … .”

And above all, Esmeralda suffered fatal damage despite subduing the two men.

‘… … This is a much more brutal fight than fighting me, right?’

No wonder Garnet, who was watching the three-way battle between the three, thought that way with sweaty palms.

Esmeralda had grown to the point where she was close to becoming a general, just by being able to restrain her colleagues.

“Kurrrrrr… … .”

Of course, the problem is that it seems half-human.

Esmeralda tied the two men up in a beast-like manner.

That wild appearance had enough force to block Tina’s evil intentions, which were trying to steal the luggage and run away when the opportunity arose.

of course…….

“Hey, shouldn’t we run away now? I can see the angle at this point.”

The story could not have been different for the Demon Party, who were in danger of being captured by such a warrior.

The extras took a look at Jim and whispered in his ear.

In his eyes, this moment seemed like a golden opportunity.

Isn’t that right? When else would the warrior run away if not now, when he is mentally and physically exhausted from fighting the saint and the wizard?

And if you don’t run away now, do you know what will happen to you later?

“I agree. I think it would be best to get out of here for now.”

Garnet, who was indignant at Esmeralda’s arrogance in wanting to face her one-on-one, also shared the same opinion as Extra.

Meanwhile, Jim was looking at Esmeralda’s profile with a serious expression. Although he was flustered by the sudden situation, he was able to organize his thoughts after seeing Esmeralda stepping on the party members like this.

‘The sky was clear and there were no problems with the weather.’

Didn’t you read it? No, it’s different.

There was still no problem with the weather, and it is difficult to see Esmeralda escaping from such weather movements.

If that’s the case, then it’s not Esmeralda, but herself who has the problem.

“……no.”

Jim recalled the past.

That was the moment when he threw everything away and reached the other side of the sky.

I became convinced after meeting the ‘hyung’ who existed there.

“As expected, I surrendered quietly.”

He knew because he could see their gaze.

You could see what they had thrown away and what became of it.

That’s why he picked it up.

The three poisons and the five desires and seven emotions.

That’s why it was necessary.

“It seems like the heavens have taken over, so I think it would be better to just wait and see for a while.”

Fate.

Everything in this world is created by the combination of cause and effect, and also disperses and disappears.

Even if it was faint enough that it wasn’t something to be concerned about, it wasn’t something that could be easily cut off even if you tried to.

“Then take care of yourself. I will decline your previous offer.”

“It was fun, Jim. Now let’s go our separate ways.”

“Huh? Wait a minute.”

Of course, unlike the warrior party, the members of the demon party could disband at any time, so those burdensome words sounded like nothing more than a call to die together.

And there was no way around it, since their bond wasn’t deep enough to make them willing to die for each other.

Five and Extra went their separate ways without even listening to Jim’s excuses.
