Respawn

Chapter 42: The Unexpected Visitor

"The execution is still going on! Please keep calm because these people are now chained and will not be able to interfere or cause further disruption! Please enjoy the view as I execute this man, but because I'm having a good day today, I'll also kill his friends! These people are a threat and a pest to our world!" he exclaimed. The people begin cheering for the king, and they appear delighted to discover that three people will be killed at this time. "I'm going to kill Takahashi first so his friend can see him die with the virus sword. I hope that what happened today serves as a warning to everyone not to pose a threat to the king or the world! I swear to keep our world safe, "he added. He points his virus sword at Takahashi. Takahashi simply closes his eyes, as if accepting his fate. His friends were looking at him with teary eyes, pleading with him to keep fighting. He can't perish! He does not deserve to perish! They do not deserve to perish! They are simply a group of innocent people. The king is about to s***h him with his virus sword, but my body reacts quickly and materializes my sword, blocking the king's s***h with my sword to protect Takahashi. "What are you doing, my faithful servant?" he inquired. I simply blocked the virus sword that was about to kill him. I simply protected this man for the king, to whom I pledged my loyalty. Why am I behaving this way toward this man? Why am I putting my life in danger for him? "I believe that more investigation should be conducted before this execution is carried out. My king, please accept my apologies. But if you try to kill this man right now, I'm sorry, but I won't let you, and I'll put my life on the line to save him, "I stated.

"Have you forgotten that I am your king? Why are you defending that individual? You have betrayed my kingdom! How could you possibly choose that person over your king? That's because the two of you are acquainted. You don't give me a choice. Despite the fact that you are one of my favorite upper knights, you will do this to me, "he stated. What exactly have I done? I've just put myself in trouble. My own body moves and reacts according to its own desires. I know how much I want to save these individuals, so when I learned that Takahashi was about to be killed, I tried to defend him. I'm not going to be able to get out of this predicament and tell the king that everything is simply a coincidence. It's evident that I'm attempting to save Takahashi and his companions from this.

"You are still my king in my eyes. Please don't think like that. However, I continue to regard myself as a faithful servant not only to you, but also to the people of this country. My job as a warrior is to ensure the safety of our people, particularly the innocent and helpless. This individual still does not deserve to be punished in any way. I feel that we should conduct additional investigations into this issue because, as a warrior, I want to ensure that only those who deserve punishment are punished. We can try to reach a deal and talk if you simply give me some time and dismiss this execution. The execution will continue if Takahashi is found to be a true menace to the globe. " I stated.

This is the first time the king has looked at me in this manner. His eyes were ablaze with fire, revealing the insanity he felt when he saw me. I can't say I blame him. "Who are you to tell me what is correct and incorrect? Who are you to tell me who deserves to be punished and who shouldn't? My words will always be correct since I am the king. No one should be able to command me since I am superior to everyone else. Even so, you'll say things like that to me. Do you think you've gone insane? Do you intend to die just for the sake of saving that man? What a pity it is for an upper knight like you to die for that reason, "he stated. I may appear foolish, but at the very least, I shall die honorably protecting this man's life.

"If you intend to kill me as well, I shall die with pride because I am defending this pure spirit here. You can assassinate me all you want, but you can't assassinate this man without attempting to kill me, "I stated. As I prepare to fight, I materialize my sword in case the monarch orders the other upper knights to attack me. "Katsumi, please We're not even friends, and we've only met recently. You have no idea who I am, and you are under no obligation to keep me safe. I'm not interested in involving another person's life in my problems, "Takahashi begs. He is puzzled as to why I am acting in this way. I know we've only met, but I can tell he's a kind guy by his demeanor. He was the first man to show me that I was capable of being treated like a normal girl.

If Nathan uses his power on me, there is little doubt that the upper knights will easily stop me. I keep a watchful eye on Nathan in case he tries to use his powers on me. "Capture Katsumi and make sure she has a good view of this man being killed," the king said. Don't underestimate my might; I've fought wars and fought thousands of soldiers. No one tried to attack me or rushed in. They must know how skilled I am at close combat battle. "What exactly are you up to? Take her down! ", the king yelled. I might seize this opportunity to apprehend Takahashi and ensure that he flees. I couldn't get away with just carrying him. His companions were also caught.

An upper knight attempted to assault me, but I was able to slay him with one s***h. That was extremely close; I was simply fortunate in having quick reflexes. "As always, Katsumi, you're fantastic. My upper knight is really proud of you. If you hadn't betrayed our kingdom, you might have been an excellent servant. You've been devoted to the king for hundreds of years, but you're nothing more than a lie. ", he expressed himself. I'm not a liar, and I never pretended to be a king's loyalist. It's only that my king treats these folks unfairly. "We may still treat and talk to each other the way we used to, but only if you dismiss this execution and offer a more compelling reason why this man deserved to be executed," I added.

The upper knights begin to strike me with their swords, but I manage to evade and deflect them. If this continues, I will become exhausted, and these people will be able to overcome me. Unlike my previous fights, I'm only up against people who aren't as experienced as the upper knights. Someone managed to injure both of my arms. I'm in pain, but I have to ignore it and keep blocking and avoiding assaults. I'm still unable to assault one of them because doing so would give them the opportunity to attack me in some parts of my body. I'll have to be cautious and wait for the ideal moment to strike. These are upper knights who have been trained, gifted, and skilled.

I must ensure that I eliminate them one by one. By doing so, I can ensure that the number of my adversaries will diminish. I run to attack one of the upper knights, but my guts are slashed. I had no choice but to kneel down and grip my stomach in discomfort due to the pain. "Is that all you got?" the knight inquired. This is something I should be aware of. I'm well aware that one blunder will undoubtedly provide them with an excellent opportunity. I wasn't paying attention. I can’t give up and must continue to fight. I forced myself to stand despite the pain. To defend these people, I will battle till the end. He slashes my thighs and throws me to the ground. This is the final chapter of my life.

"Accept his fate and sit back and watch him perish. Even though I could have totally severed your legs, I didn't because I still saw you as a king's servant. If you accept this execution and quit arguing, the king and upper knights will forgive you, "he stated. A squad of soldiers binds my wrist and forces me to kneel. Takahashi was placed meters away from me. Takahashi isn't even fighting. I don't know how I'm going to fight if this guy isn't fighting for his life. He just closes his eyes and waits for his demise. Why would he put himself through this? Many people give their lives for him to survive, yet he doesn't do anything. The virus sword was pointed at him by the king.

He will pass away soon. He'll die right in front of me. I'm not feeling well. I'm sad and upset. All I know is that I tried everything in my power to save that man. All I know is that I am doing everything in my best to keep him alive. All I know is that I did everything I could to encourage him to flee. All I know is that I placed my life on the line and turned this entire kingdom against me. Maybe this is exactly what God has in mind for him. Who am I to interfere with the deity's plan for him? The king notices his ring. The king orders, "Remove the ring from his hands." The lady yelled, "Do not take off his ring! You must not take off that ring! ",. Why is he wearing a ring on his finger? Is that a common accoutrement? The soldier takes his ring off his finger.

His head develops horns and the color of his eyes changed. His appearance resembles a hacker or a devil descendant. Everyone was taken aback by his presence. His friend inquired, "Are you a hacker?" Fear filled the king's body. It is evident at this time that the king is correct. This individual poses a serious threat. "You're a hacker, right? It's no surprise that you wield so much power! You are a nuisance on this planet and must perish! ", the king yelled. I fell into tears, as I realized that everything, I had done up to that point had been in vain. I protect a hacker and claim the king to be my adversary. I made a mistake by trusting this man. There is no way for me to make amends now. I was mistaken in thinking I already knew him.

"You are a hacker, right? You've been lying to me the entire time! I came to protect you, and you're a hacker. It's as if nothing makes sense. I'm not sure what to say or do at this point. You placed me in this position where I have to battle for you without realizing that it was a mistake to do so. You have no right to do this to me, "I cried as I said it. The king frees my hand from the restraints and hands me the sword. "You stated that you are willing to kill and punish this individual if he is shown to be a true threat to humanity. Now is the moment to take action. Kill that man, and the entire country will forgive you, and we will forget the blunder you made, "said the king. Right now, I'm filled with rage.

True, I'm enraged right now, but for some reason, I don't believe I can kill this man. My emotions cautioned me against hurting this man. This individual is a hacker, a societal foe. "I am not a hacker in any way. You may be skeptical, but I am not a hacker. I only respawned in this world a month ago, and I already had this appearance. I'm not a hacker, and I've never struck a bargain with the devil. I understand that it is quite rare in this world, but I am a sinner. Please don't misunderstand me. I have no recollection of my previous existence. I despise how I am judged regardless of how much I change. People will continue to condemn me based on my past and appearance, which is unjustified, "he went on to clarify. I'm not sure how I can tell if he's telling the truth right now. I'm worried I'll believe him again, and then he'll lie to me. I'm scared I'll have to battle for him again, even though I shouldn't fight for someone like him. "Do you think we'll be taken in by your words? It's obvious that you're a hacker, and you deserve to die! Prepare to slay this man, Katsumi! ", declared the king. While holding the virus sword, I stand and take a step towards Takahashi. With this sword, I will slay him. He was sweet, caring, hilarious, and adorable, but he was a liar. He's a really kind guy, but I'm not sure what to trust anymore. I drew the virus sword and pointed it at him. "He is telling it like it is! Believe what he says! " Watanabe's daughter said. I close my eyes and attempt to recall our shared experiences. I'm going to kill the only man who cares about me. I'll assassinate the one and only man who has ever treated me the way I want to be treated. I draw my sword and prepare to s***h him. Someone blocked my s***h as I was ready to s***h him. He is escorted away from the stage by a group of people. When the king saw these people, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Mr. Vertxander, why are you here protecting that man?"
