“Hu… ugh!”
Unlike the Hurial’s case, Riley cut off Rebethra’s arms first. Riley casually turned his head and looked at the dimensional space where the dragon’s head was still present.
‘This runt… does he still have a trick left up his sleeve?’
Riley didn’t have any ability to read people’s mind. Finding Rebethra’s behavior suspicious, Riley furrowed his brows and swung his sword again.
“Uuuup!”
This time, he swung it against Rebethra’s legs.
“Huu…. Huu… Huuuuuu.”
Just like Hurial, Rebethra was subjected to Riley’s time magic. Feeling the pain from cut off arms and legs, he slowly shed tears. His eyes met with the boy’s gaze.
“I can… only… say that… you are… incredible.”
Unlike Hurial, who had gone mad from fear, Rebethra was maintaining his sanity. He struggled with words as he complimented Riley.
“To think… you would meddle with our work… this… much.”
Although the time magic was stretching out his words, although his face was crumpled from the pain, it looked like Rebethra was feeling refreshed as if he dealt a blow against Riley somehow. Riley furrowed his brows and directed his gaze to the side.
“You… You are the Lazy-Sword, so how?”
“…”
There were Peruda and Hamil.
It seemed they just saw what Riley did. The two men vacantly had their mouths open. Annoyed, Riley looked at his sword.
Even if he was carefull, it seemed like the sword was not going to last after swinging two or three more times.
‘It’s fine. I can just kill them with bare hands.’
Riley bit his lips. He then turned his head away from Peruda and Hamil to look at Rebethra who was struggling in pain.
“I had to ask. What is this life long wish you guys mentioned?”
“…”
Riley asked toward Rebethra.
Rebethra fell to silence.
“This dimensional space… This is different from the dimensional space that I know about? Where did you get the corpse of a dragon?”
Facing silence, Riley nodded and asked a different question toward Rebethra.
“…”
Rebethra was silent again.
“About the world below, just what are you talking about exactly?”
“…”
All Riley got in return was silence. Without hesitation, Riley swung his sword and tore up Rebethra’s mouth wide. Riley promptly turned and walked toward where Hurial was.
“Uuu, uuuuu!”
Hurial could hear slow screams from Rebethra on the side. He could hear Riley’s steps coming toward himself. Hurial, choking on fear, held his breath and waited for Riley’s question.
“I’m going to give you an advice first. It would be wise for you to think carefully and answer straight. I’m not going to tear your mouth. I’m going to cut your neck.”
Hurial, in state of being subjected to time magic, nodded slowly.
“What is the life long wish that you guys mentioned?”
“… It is opening the world below by collecting human souls.”
“…?!”
It seemed Hurial was overwhelmed by Riley ever since he saw Riley cutting the dragon’s breath in half. Hurial lowered his head and answered politely. Having realized this, Rebethra, who was shaking in pain, started to glare at Hurial with violent look on his eyes.
“Where did you get the dead body of a dragon?”
“It was given by the Great One from the world below.”
“Hu…. ri… al!!”
Riley ignored Rebethra’s voice from the back. Riley furrowed his brows after hearing Hurial’s answers. He asked the next question.
“What is the world below exactly?”
“The world below is…”
Before Hurial could answer, it looked like his face was becoming squashy like a jelly. It looked like his head was boiling from inside. His entire face started to wobble.
“Uuu…. Uuuu….”
With his face wobbling, Hurial turned his head toward Rebethra. Hurial started to wave around what were left of his arms after they were cut off, which were shaking.
“Pl…. ease…”
With that as his last word, along with a ‘puk’ sound, Hurial’s head exploded and splashed black blood in all directions.
‘Self destruction?’
