304 Episode 211: The Agent And The Revealed Truth
Nakhalti carefully proceeds through the bamboo grove, so we proceed from that direction.
As you can see from the map, there was a wooden figure in the bamboo grove that was marked with Nakhalti's mark (Kars).
By using and swapping positions with the doll, Nakhalti invaded Giant Island without using his ship.
For the record, the doll that Graveford had came to understand the characteristics of the object to be exchanged. The replacement of Kojiro with a samurai doll was new to my memory.
Although it does not exist anymore, the doll placed in the bamboo grove was said to have a strong sense of uncertainty. I saw him on the map, but he was wearing a black robe.
And perhaps it was Nakhalti himself who made the doll.
Among the skill configurations that are fairly high level and well-balanced, there is evidence of only one distinction.
Name: Nakhalti
LV99
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Race: Demon Race
Skill: Sword Magic LV6; Body Enhancement LV6
Spell Mark (Curse): < Presence Exchange (Change Ring) LV- >
I looked at Nakhalti's status again, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be a good level.
At least, as far as I know, it's the best of the Four Kings. The sign (Kurth) looked like it was on the back, but it was probably the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings in terms of skill configuration. I didn't say they were strong enemies.
After a while, I reached a distance where I could recognize my existence without a map.
By the way, we recognised Nakhalti's presence, but Nakhalti didn't recognise ours. I don't do such sweet covert deeds.
I hid in the bamboo and waited for Nakhalti to arrive.
From now on, this place is called Point G.
Soon after, Nakhalti arrived at Point G.
Nakhalti stopped looking at the sole (...) and glanced around.
"Graveford... after all..."
Yes, it was Gu (G) Raveford's body that was planted at Point G.
The reaction to Graveford's body suggests Nakhalti's intentions. Then, from the murmur of "still", it was found that he recognized Graveford's death.
In other words, it is likely that Nakhalti's purpose was to investigate the cause of death in Graveford.
After carefully checking the surroundings, Nakhalti decided that there was no danger and approached Graveford's body and began to observe it.
"Is this a curse?" I'm pretty sure we failed the operation. Why are you dying here? Who killed Graveford? "
"I killed him."
"Ah!?"
When I called out from the shadow of bamboo, Nakhalti stiffened for a fraction of an instant and flew away.
Take out the dagger in the air, and when it lands, it will be in full combat readiness.... not a bad reaction.
Why did you do what you did to squander the chance of an ambush at the corner?
Thinking normally, if you want to defeat one of the Four Heavenly Kings in an ambush without a conversation?
Four Heavenly Kings, Four Heavenly Kings. Four or more, but Four Heavenly Kings. Six, that is, four Heavenly Kings who have been defeated for more than a set. There were many Four Heavenly Kings with strong characters. If left alone, the Four Heavenly Kings would use a maneuver that would cause unimpressive damage.
I know I'm going to kill you, but I want to know about Nakhalti's character because it's a corner.
Maria was still hiding.
If Nakhalti realizes his numerical disadvantage and gets away before we can talk.
"Who are you?"
"When you asked people for their names, didn't they teach you to name yourself?" "Nakhalti, one of the four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army"
What's the matter!?
This is the overwhelming Mighty Move.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to name myself. I don't mean to replace you, but I'll answer your own question. I decursed the giant and killed Graveford with the curse back. Graveford's body was put there to stop you, not die here."
"How did you know I was here?"
We're not changing our readiness, but we're prioritizing intelligence gathering.
The purpose of this is to investigate the cause of death of Graveford, so it's only natural. Normally, I can't get any information from the person I killed. Exceptionally, Graveford, who was able to do it, is dead.
Have you no idea why?
"No way, did Graveford talk to you?"... no, I don't think so. He talks about all his achievements, but he doesn't care about the achievements of others. "
Here, it became clear why Graveford did not provide information on metastasis.
Sure enough, Graveford only told his tongue about himself. There was nothing to praise others.
"Oh, it's not like Graveford spoke. However, from his actions, I could imagine that someone could transfer to the Demon King's army. And in this forest, there was the same doll that Graveford had. It's not that hard to predict, is it?"
…………
It should be noted that it was only after Nakhalti's transfer that he actually learned about the doll. I'm not going to explain things to you.
"Why did you know my name?"
"Don't you think it's unfair that I'm the only one who answers the question? As long as you answer my questions, I'll answer yours as well."
"... just say it."
I'll answer the questions honestly, so Nakhalti won't ask any other questions.
Let's shake up your emotions by asking questions from Kochira to grasp the character.
Well then, here's the question. How many of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army are left now?
The biggest amazement that can be conveyed through the hood. Yeah, I'm shaken up by the good feeling.
"... what do you know about the Four Heavenly Kings!"
It seemed to shake my emotions more than I could imagine, and Nakhalty turned on my anger.
I don't think so, but Maria has a weapon ready to kill Nakhalti at any time.
"If you want to ask a question, answer my question first."
I won't say anything that would be against the Demon King!
"That's the one that doesn't keep the conversation going..."
Hmm, should I ask you a simpler question? Is it the colour of the pants or the three size?... the Strongman moves are sure to die.
"Then I don't have to answer any questions."
If so, I'll use my strength to make you answer!
Rather than shaking his emotions, it seemed to be beyond Nakhalti's tolerance.
Unfortunately, "conversation (language)" can hardly bring out individuality, so I moved to "conversation (physical language)".
I wonder if I can bring out my personality in physical language...?
Nakhalti's first move was a throwing knife released with minimal movement.
As declared in "Let me answer with strength", I don't think I'm going to kill you. It is well controlled so that it does not hit a steep spot.
Instead, it is coated with paralytic poison, so if it hits you, you will be unable to move (general theory).
Come on.
I move my throwing knife half a step to avoid it.
Then, when I bowed down on the spot, a dagger swung by Nakhalti passed over my head.
Swap positions with the knife and aim for a surprise attack. It wasn't a bad way to use a curse, but the disadvantage was that I was able to time lag it to figure out where it was immediately after the transfer.
While bending over, I turned around and set my foot straight.
Nakhalti tried to avoid it with a nice reaction, but she completely lost her posture.
"Guu...!? Haa!"
Throw the knife while falling and swap positions to distance yourself from me.
It was useful for ambushes and emergency departures.
[Dark Shot]!
Soon after the transfer, Nakhalti activated his magic.
Naharti's level is 3, so level 3 Dark Shot can be activated with no chant in exchange for increased MP consumption.
He released a "Dark Shot" with his right hand and threw three knives with his left.
It is a dexterous imitation of pinching one knife between fingers other than the thumb, and shifting the timing to throw radially. I can't help it because it's easy to become a high level songwriter.
By mixing [Dark Shot], which seemed to have a high attack power from its appearance, it would have the purpose of distracting the opponent.
Unfortunately, I ignore knives that don't hit, and avoid the knife and "Dark Shot" with minimal movement.
And step back and backfist.
"Beat it!?"
Nakhalti's back fist hit Nakhalti's face without sex, and her nose bleeds with a strange moan.
"Ugh... I read about my exchange destination..."
"Just before the transfer, if you stare at the knife you threw so hard, you'll be able to read it easily."
After Nakhalti threw the knife, he stared towards the knife, not at the target, me. To be precise, both the knife and I were in sight, but my attention was focused on the knife.
I know that timing is important to change the position, but it is the derogation that makes it easy to know the purpose from the ability and gaze. At the very least, you should have trained yourself to follow the trajectory of what it felt like to throw a knife.
"Also, it's better to stop thinking that it would be advantageous to take the back." The ambush of that hand made sense because it was a lowly opponent. Even if it explodes without knowing the opponent's strength, it will expose the gap. "
Someone who has the ability to transfer, "I want to take the back of the other person."
A metastatic ambush works best when the opponent doesn't know what they're capable of. Basically, if a person with metastatic abilities disappears from the front of my eyes, I should be wary of the back, the top, or the bottom.
By the way, if you have non-visual cognitive abilities (signs, smell), you can deal with it alone.
"It's a way to use abilities that are close to hit-and-run kills." Until now, you haven't pointed out any shortcomings, have you? "
I won't say it out loud, but I think it's a flaw I've noticed if I train with someone with the same level of fighting power.
It may be said that the Four Heavenly Kings have no [warriors]. The Four Heavenly Kings might be the strongest, but there seemed to be a lot of weaknesses that I didn't know about. Seriously important in combat training in a real-life format.
"If you're careful not to kill me, you'll know..."
Nakhalti said that while wiping his nosebleeding.
Nakhalti, who was quite strong even when fighting from the front, was obsessed with the ambush from behind, in order to neutralize it with the paralyzing poison without killing her.
"Neutralize without killing" is not something that can be targeted if there is no considerable difference in strength.
"It's unavoidable. Let's kill him and get the information."
When I came here, Nakhalti's anger turned into a clear murderous mood.
"I'll kill you first." If I kill you, it's over.... is there another way to extract information from a corpse, just like Graveford?
[Dark Shot]!
The same [Dark Shot] and Throwing Knife combination, but with some differences.
The speed of the knife was increasing, and the aim was changing to a sharp spot. It wasn't an assault to avoid, it was an assault to hit.
In addition, Nakhalti himself was approaching with a lethal poisoned dagger.
Nakhalti's serious move was comparable to or surpassed that of a high-ranking adventurer.
... on the contrary, it's only about that amount of ability.
Haa!
Dodging the [Dark Shot] and the knife on paper, Nakhalti slashes.
- Yo, yo, yo.
Not yet!
Nakhalti's slashing was approaching after avoiding the slashing with a single piece of paper.
- Yo, yo, yo.
Paper One, Paper One, Paper One, Paper One, Paper One, Paper One, Paper One, Paper One (hereinafter abbreviated).
-Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey (abbreviated below) -
Avoid daggers, short-range throwing knives, and short-range [Dark Magic].
Along the way, I mixed kicks and such, but without me, I wasn't used to it, and it was completely awkward compared to slashing.
"Why...? Why can't you hit me..."
After 10 minutes of avoidance, Nakhalti stopped his legs and arms.
Since the level is 6, I cannot think that I am tired at this level.
In addition, even if there is, the mental fatigue will not be relieved. Did you have a skill called "Mental Reinforcement"?
A: No.
It seemed like a normal name skill, but unfortunately it didn't exist.
You've avoided all attacks.
"Ugh, that's a white thing..."
It was true that we avoided all attacks at the last minute. I intentionally missed it.
"Then I'll show you the inevitable."
That said, Nakhalti took out one doll.
Graveford summoned the puppet, so it was no wonder Naharti did something similar. Since Nakhalti does not possess functional abilities, the presence of an ally or someone else may be invoked.
Show yourself! Evil God Beast Hel!
Nakhalti threw a doll carved with a violent lion (or wolf).
An inevitable attack... "If you're a beast monster, could it be a roaring range attack? Depending on the race, it could be a brace.
- Cotton -
The doll fell to the ground according to gravity.
"………………………………………?"
Nakhalti exposed the stupid side while throwing the doll in the throwing position.
I'm sorry, but I can't get through the transfer on or off Giant Island right now. That's why you can't even know what kind of [absolutely inevitable attack] the Evil God Beast Hel will make.
"You think my exchange failed...?" That's impossible. That's impossible! "
Nakhalti said that and threw the knife nearby, replacing the position of the knife with.
If there are objects on Giant Island, they can be transferred by exchange. That's why Nakhalti hadn't noticed until now.
"After all, we can only exchange things that are off-island!" Why!? "
Nakhalti understood the conditions that would make it impossible to exchange immediately, but she was obviously a wolf.
However, the time that Nakhalty spent wandering around was even shorter than I had imagined.
"... is that you?" Did you do something to seal off my exchange? "
Nakhalti asked in horror.
From the tone of his voice, it sounds like "I want you to be different".
But that's right!
"How... no, that doesn't matter. The problem is that you've dealt with me correctly.... is it true that Graveford is the same? It's not a coincidence that Graveford was cursed, but I knew that Graveford would use the curse....?"
What the hell did you come up with?
"... I've always wondered." Four Heavenly Kings can't happen unless there's quite a coincidence, like being killed by someone other than a hero. When that impossible thing continues, it is more likely to be inevitable rather than accidental.... I see, the Four Heavenly Kings were targeted. "
Oh, my God.
You. You are the one who killed the Four Heavenly Kings and stood in the way of the Demon King.
Nakhalti glared at me with murderous and hateful eyes.
Absolutely right... I didn't think I'd get to the answer from the hint of a proper rose.
Could it be that Nakhalti is good?
Die!
Nakhalti didn't wait for me to talk and threw a knife at my face.
Contrary to words, the throwing speed of the knife is slow. What is the meaning of an attack that can be easily avoided?
Shortly after he threw the knife, Nakhalti reversed his body and took out the other knife and threw it. It looks like the goal is to fly far away, not attack.
Then, the knife that was supposed to have been thrown far into the place where Nakhalti was was dropped.
I see, you ran away.
This may be called the Nice Judgment.
It was an investigation into Graveford's death, and we found the other Four Kings killed.
Once you've achieved so much, the next thing you need to know is to bring the information back alive.
In front of me is an existence that has a clear way of dealing with the Four Heavenly Kings. The transfer outside the island is sealed. It has also been proven that my attacks are incomprehensible. We've got to get out of here.
Looking at the map, I could see that Nakhalti was running at full speed.
It is interesting to throw a knife or a doll every time you move forward. The island can be transferred, so it must be creating a place to escape when I catch up with them.
What should I do, Jin-sama?
Of course, I'll chase you.
Since Nakhalti's purpose was to return, it was difficult even to continue the conversation.
Fortunately, Nakhalti's character turns out to be an agent.
It could be called the Four Heavenly Kings with a sense of stability that matched the spell mark (Kurth) and the personality (Character).... I couldn't say it was as thick as the other Four Heavenly Kings.
Maria, I need you to retrieve what Nakhalti threw at me.
... I understand.
For a moment, I guess it was because I was reluctant to stay away from me.
With Tamo-san in hiding, I won't be alone.
I ran faster than Nakhalti and gradually decided to close the distance with Nakhalti.
As a merchant, it's impossible, but if you're an S-ranked adventurer who specializes in foot speed, it's almost the limit of humanity.
For the record, Maria is overtaking human limits and collecting dolls and knives in order to catch up with me a little faster.
While using [Invisible] of [Unattributed Magic], the [Shrinkage Method] and [Warp] are also fully utilized.... let's do that.
Nin-sama, we have finished collecting the items that have been thrown out. From now on, we will collect the object immediately after it is thrown.
Maria was getting the job done from her side. Quick.
Maria pushes us around, so I'll do my best to hunt down Nakhalti.
As you can see from the map, Nakhalti is headed to the port town.
If we can't transfer it off the island, we'll have to try to leave the island by boat.... unfortunately, I can't get out of the island with my ship.
To add to that, the severance of Giant Island by the Spirit Sword, the Immortal, and the Complete is not permanent.
Since there is something like natural healing power in a normal space, it will return to its original state over time. I just cut it lightly this time, so I think it will be healed by dawn.
In other words, Nakhalti's condition for victory was to escape my pursuit until dawn and escape the island by ship or transfer after the space breakdown had healed.
At this time, remote slashing by the Divine Spirit Sword, the Immortal, and the Complete shall not be considered.
You kept me waiting.
"Tsk!"
Yes, we have caught up with Nakhalti.
When I called out while I was running, I tongued abominably, but my legs didn't stop.
"It's too soon... I wonder if you have the physical ability to surpass me."
I'm sorry to say that you're analyzing my information, but it's strictly forbidden to take it home.
Leave me here with my life!
"I can't help it..."
Nakhalti did not hesitate to swap positions with the doll she was throwing along the way.
Haha!?
I grabbed Nakhalti who appeared nearby, dragged him to the ground, and held him captive.
"Why, why...?"
No matter why I am asked, I am not doing so much.
Maria, who is nearby in the state of [Invisible], just placed the doll to be exchanged on the ground near me just before the exchange.
The disadvantage of Nakhalti is that I don't know where the exchange is or what its condition is.
Guah!
In order to escape from the restraint, I swapped positions with other dolls, so I grabbed, knocked down, and restrained the Nakhalti that appeared nearby.
After repeating it five times, Nakhalti gave up.
"Hah... hah..."
Nakhalti breathes roughly when pressed against the ground. I was slammed into the ground six times in total, so it was physically worn out.
Even if you're not restrained, it doesn't look like you can stand up. One of the reasons I gave up metastasis is because I didn't have enough health to escape from it.
"Ugh... kill me!"
Good news. Nakhalti, it was just a character.
It doesn't matter, but as I was repeatedly slammed into the ground, Nakhalti's robe was removed and the figure that had been hidden until now was revealed.
The black tube top and mini skirt are lightweight and have a lot of skin tone area. I don't say what will happen, but there is a place where it comes out. "Well, is it the job of the operative to do the coloring?"
Now that you've restrained Corner Nakhalti, let's use a combo of [Give and Take] (LV9) and [Multiple Existence (LV7)] to extract information directly from the soul, as originally planned.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you until I get the information from you."
You're not going to die physically. I'm not mentally sure.
"Hah... hah..."
"I'm sorry for the torture." And it doesn't matter if you break your mouth or not. "
First of all, it was a trial version, and I activated the combos for only 1 second.
* giggle * ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
Nakhalti screamed and twitched. Yes, it's over.
Now I can extract information about Nakhalti's hidden lands and previous life...... the former personality before the demonic personality was overwritten.
It takes time to try to pull all the information, but if you just pick up the important information and pull it out, you can complete it in a short time.
According to the information obtained, Nakhalti was the Four Heavenly Kings that existed from the earliest days, so his former personality had almost disappeared.... yes, it's not completely extinguished.
Originally, the Four Heavenly Appointments would have overwritten the demonic personality by 100%, but the overwriting ratio was reduced to 95%.
Why was 5% of the original personality left behind? It was due to "because Nakhalti's former personality was also an operative" for an outrageous reason.
Nakhalti's former character, Mikage, was an excellent operative in the original world.
Since I was summoned as a demon tribe, I had died in the original world, but the reason was also that I succeeded in a reckless infiltration operation as an operative and exploded the facilities myself.
The demon king, who knew the excellence of the shadow, dared to use his knowledge and experience to leave 5% of the personality of the shadow. Because if you overwrite your personality 100%, you will also lose your original personality knowledge.
If you retain 5% of your original personality, you will be able to use your knowledge and experience of the shadows while remaining a Nakhalti personality.
As a matter of fact, I think Nakhalti was very good as an operative.
The most familiar thing with us in Nakhalti's covert dive was the incident in which the Four Heavenly Kings' Romallion was made into the Queen of the Kastar Kingdom (Sakya).
Romallier pretended to be Sakya, but all the preparation was done by Nakhalti. Specifically, it was Nakhalti who infiltrated Kastar and killed Sakya's family.
Without saying that the operative who normally leans at the level of the country is excellent...
However, Nakhalti's covert leap was limited until the Heroes were summoned.
Apparently, Nakhalti was absolutely loyal to the Demon King, and since being summoned as a hero, she had tried not to leave the Demon King's side to escort her.
So, there is no land that has been damaged by Nakhalti in its present form. "There are some lands that suffer from the after-effects of the damage..."
This time, Nakhalti came to investigate the cause of death of Graveford on the orders of a subject of loyalty, the Demon King, and it seemed personally unfavorable.
Well, given the current situation, I must say, it was a big mistake to come here to investigate.
"Zehew... Zehew... Zehew... What did you do to me... Zehew...?"
I was held captive in a state of near-death, and I was forced to draw information from my enemies.
I let you pull out the information on your own, Shiiba.
"Don't be silly!? Gahhhh!"
If you yell even though you're breathing constantly, it's only natural that you cough.
"Next time, let me take longer to pull the information. I'm afraid you can't stand it. If you have one last thing to say, I'll tell you what."
"............ Demon King...... Zehu...... I'm sorry......"
After thinking for a while, Nakhalti left an apology to the Demon King.

Four Heavenly Kings Frame
The Four Heavens Appointment (Force Order), which is the curse mark of the Demon King, can reincarnate the dead from the original world of Nida and overwrite the personality appropriate to the Four Heavenly Kings.
If the Four Heavenly Kings were killed by anyone other than the Brave One (with a blessing (gift)), the Demon King could recall the Four Heavenly Kings in that frame. If the Four Heavenly Kings are about to be killed, there may be a trick to avoid the extinction of the frame by stabbing the Four Heavenly Kings.
The Four Heavenly Kings' recall is not something that can be used casually because of the constraints and burdens on the Demon King side, but it was very rare for the Four Heavenly Kings to be killed by anyone other than the heroes (...), so even if something were to happen, the Four Heavenly Kings would never be three or fewer before the battle with the heroes.
The evolution of the Four Heavenly Kings is shown below.
