My Yandere Girlfriend Hiding in the Dungeon Kills Me Over and Over Again - Chapter 74 & 75

My Yandere Girlfriend Hiding in the Dungeon Kills Me Over and Over Again

Chapter 74    Comrade

After acquiring the skill “Thief’s Skills” and passing through numerous armored Bugbears, I dashed through the dungeon to the location of the hero Eligion.

“Hey, isn’t that Kiska?”

Hero Eligion, upon spotting me, wore a cheerful expression.

“Hero, I’ll guide you to where the Demon Lord is.”

“Do you know where the Demon Lord is?”

“Yes, I have a rough idea.”

“Really!? Then guide me right away.”

From there, I guided Hero Eligion to the location of the Demon Lord Zoga.

“Demon Lord Zoga, I’ve come to settle the score.”

“Hmph, you noisy brat! I’m prepared to kill you even without being told!”

After witnessing their battle, I retraced my steps and headed back to the location of Holy Knight Canaria.

By guiding Hero Eligion to the Demon Lord’s location, I ensured that Eligion wouldn’t interrupt my battle and get killed by him in the midst of fighting. Now, I could focus on my battle with Holy Knight Canaria.

“I never thought the first human I’d encounter would be you.”

Holy Knight Canaria, upon spotting me, expressed her displeasure.

How many times had I died since I started fighting her? I didn’t remember the exact number, but it was probably around 130 times. Well, things were going quite smoothly, to the point where conditions couldn’t be better.

That’s how well the new skill, “Thief’s Skills,” had become ingrained in my body. When I closed my eyes, memories of all the battles I had fought against Holy Knight Canaria replayed in my mind. I knew her fighting style and habits inside out.

In this time frame, I had the confidence that I would absolutely defeat her.

“I’m glad Canaria-san is safe.”

I tried to deceive her.

Don’t let her realize that there’s hostility from me.

So, I look at her with my best smile.

“In fact, I’ve already joined forces with the hero Eligion.”

“R-really!?”

When I mention the hero’s name, Holy Knight Canaria’s expression brightens slightly.

I don’t understand at all why someone planning to kill the hero would be happy about his safety.

“Yes, so I’ll guide you to where the hero is.”

“Oh, please do.”

While saying that, she approaches me.

One step, two steps, she advances. Three steps, four steps, five steps… Getting this close should be enough.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

She looks at me suspiciously as I still haven’t started walking.

“No, I was actually waiting.”

Yes, I was waiting.

I was waiting for her to come close enough for me to kill her with certainty.

A few seconds later.

I grip the hilt of “Blazing Sword” and draw the sword from its sheath.

“――Ah!”

In response to my sudden hostility, she grips her sword with surprise. However, my blade was already in the process of slashing her neck.

Blood sprays as I strike.

I don’t know what kind of skills Holy Knight Canaria possesses, but given her role as a holy knight, she undoubtedly has enhanced durability to some extent.

People with enhanced durability are less likely to suffer fatal wounds even when attacked. Despite attacking a human’s critical weak point, the neck, she was still alive.

“Youuuuu!!”

She becomes enraged and swings her sword forcefully.

I attempt to parry her attack with my sword, but I fail, getting thrown backward.

“Hey, what are you trying to do…?”

She appears angry, but in reality, she is handling the battle calmly. This is because she secretly applies healing magic to her neck while talking to me.

Attacking me to knock me back was likely a way to buy time until she could heal.

If that’s the case, there’s only one thing to do.

I must strike her immediately.

“Hey, Canaria.”

I speak with a confident smile.

“W-What…?”

She frowns as she looks at me. Perhaps she finds me creepy.

“Why would the leader of ‘Chaosism’ you belong to cooperate with the Demon Lord? You seem just like one of the Demon Lord’s subordinates.”

“You… you dare insult my master…”

Alright, “Provocation” was successful.

Though “Provocation” had been incorporated into “Thief’s Skills” through skill synthesis, it was still usable.

I thought that insulting her master might make her angry, and it seems that it hit the mark.

As evidence, she stopped her ongoing healing magic, dropped the sword she was holding, and…

“〈Black Blade〉.”

She said, and 〈Black Blade〉 was one of the Parasitic Sword Puppeteer’s forms. It seems it gives its all from the beginning.

“Die…!!”

She yelled and rushed at me while gripping 〈Black Blade〉.

However, thanks to “Provocation,” her attacks were incredibly sloppy.

So, evading her attacks was quite simple.

“Ugh…”

She let out a groan.

I had dodged her attack and slashed her in the side with my sword.

Of course, I didn’t forget to follow up.

I attacked her multiple times, repeatedly dodging her attacks and landing my own. I had already completely read her attack patterns.

So, there was practically no chance her attacks would land.

“It’s over.”

While saying that, I pierced her legs with my sword while she lay on the ground.

In an instant, I was certain of my victory.

Holy Knight Canaria glared at me while gritting her teeth. However, she wouldn’t be able to get up anymore.

“Found it. This is the ring.”

When I pulled the pendant hanging from her neck, I found the ring required to resurrect the Demon Lord.

“You, that is…”

She reached out in a panic. I brushed her hand away.

“Sorry, but I’ll be taking this ring.”

With this, I could prevent the resurrection of the Demon Lord.

And thus, the world was saved.

“Hey, what exactly is going on here?”

It was the voice of a third party.

When I turned around, I saw the dwarf warrior Gorgano wielding an axe.

Due to not guiding Hero Eligion to the location of the Demon Lord Zoga previously, I had been interrupted in my battle, and the scene of being killed by Hero Eligion flashed back.

This is bad…

I had just met this newcomer a moment ago.

Therefore, my trustworthiness was lower compared to Holy Knight Canaria. In this situation where I and Holy Knight Canaria were in opposition, if I thought normally, there was a high chance that she would be helped.

I had managed to take the ring.

Is there any way to escape this situation?

“This man has taken the ‘Ring of Chaos’!”

Holy Knight Canaria shouted.

‘Ring of Chaos’…? Was she referring to the ring I took from her?

“I see, I understand the situation now.”

Warrior Gorgano said that and cast a cold gaze at me.

Wait… why did Warrior Gorgano know about this ring?

“Hahaha, too bad! Listen up, Gorgano is also my comrade! You thought you had won by defeating me, but you were wrong!”

“Silence, Canaria.”

Warrior Gorgano restrained Canaria’s laughter.

As for Canaria, she had stopped laughing abruptly.

Seriously… it seems there was another traitor.

“Are you also a member of ‘Chaosism’?”

In response to my question, Warrior Gorgano neither confirmed nor denied it, he simply said this:

“Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer.”

In an instant, a large, black scythe appeared.

The scythe had an unmistakably unnatural form with eyeballs and jaws growing all over it.

“Yay, it’s battle time!”

“Hooray, it’s battle time!”

“Hey, can we eat this guy?”

The jaws growing from the scythe spoke with their own voices.

By all appearances, they were comrades of the Puppeteer.

◆ ◆ ◆

Chapter 75   Puppeteer

In front of me stood the warrior Gorgano, wielding a black scythe.

A Puppeteer of Parasitic Scythes…?

Is this similar to a comrade of the Parasitic Sword Puppeteer?

If he’s a companion of the Holy Knight Canaria, it wouldn’t be surprising for him to wield similar parasitic weapons, would it?

“I’m in a bind. Having that ring stolen is quite troublesome. It could disrupt our plans.”

“And by ‘plans,’ you mean resurrecting the Demon Lord?”

“…You seem to know quite a lot. You should be more cautious.”

Saying that, Gorgano picked up the Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer.

It seems there’s no choice but to fight.

My stamina has been considerably drained from the battle with Holy Knight Canaria, but I can still fight.

So, there’s a good chance I can win.

“Puppeteer, let’s give it our all from the start.”

“Yes!”

“Okay, master.”

“Hey, it’s no fun if you go all out.”

“Shut up and obey, Puppeteer.”

After a peculiar exchange between Gorgano and the Puppeteer, Gorgano said the following.

“Resilient Three-Jawed Azi-Dahaka!”

In an instant, the Puppeteer transformed into a grotesque entity with three heads.

I recalled the third form of the Parasitic Sword Puppeteer, the “Ruthless Predator.”

The entity before me greatly resembled the “Ruthless Predator.”

“Oh…?”

I realized it a moment too late.

The Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer had extended large tentacles to launch an attack, and I couldn’t even perceive the attack.

Before I knew it, I was rolling on the ground.

“This one is weak, huh?”

“Very weak.”

“Not much of a challenge.”

When I looked up, multiple jaws on the Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer were chattering.

“Hey, don’t talk too much.”

Said Warrior Gorgano, and the Puppeteer replied,

“Yes!”

“We’ll be careful!”

With this bizarre scene before me, I was momentarily captivated.

Do I have to defeat this…?

Anxiety surged within me, but I couldn’t afford to stand still. So I bolstered myself and took up my sword to face the challenge.

“Amu!”

Suddenly, I heard a voice.

When I realized it was the voice of the Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer, my right arm, sword and all, had already been devoured.

“Agaahhh!”

The excruciating pain made me scream.

What just happened…?

I looked in bewilderment at the blood pouring from my severed right arm.

“Hey, is it delicious?”

“Yeah, it’s really tough… I wonder why? Maybe because we ate the sword too?”

“Lucky! I want to eat it too.”

The Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer carried on a seemingly cheerful conversation using its three mouths.

“Well then, let’s have the rest.”

Saying this, the Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer approached me.

“P-please, stop…”

I had already lost the will to fight. After all, I had lost my weapon and my right hand completely. There was no chance of winning.

I was certain that I would be brutally killed shortly.

“Bon appétit!”

The Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer opened its large mouth and displayed sharp fangs.

“Stop it, Puppeteer.”

Upon hearing such a voice, the movements of the Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer came to a halt.

“Why? Can’t we eat him?” “We’re hungry!” “Listen to me.”

Warrior Gorgano warned them sternly.

“I guess we have no choice.” “You’re so stingy.”

In compliance with Gorgano’s command, the Parasitic Scythe Puppeteer reluctantly withdrew.

“Hey, Gorgano! Why did you stop killing him!?”

It was the Holy Knight Canaria who spoke.

“Canaria, this one might have the potential to be a hero’s apostle.”

“Nonsense! There’s no way that could be true!”

“Listen, in order to fulfill the Lord’s desires, we must consider all possibilities.”

A hero’s apostle? What’s that? I wondered as I listened to their conversation.

“Hey, who are you?”

Warrior Gorgano grabbed me by the collar and lifted me, asking the question. What should I say?

“I’m Kiska, but…”

Troubled, I merely spoke my name.

“Tch, seems like you’re not going to answer properly.”

Saying this, Warrior Gorgano threw me away. The impact made me cough up blood, and I felt my consciousness slipping.

“If you are really a hero’s apostle, killing you might be more troublesome.”

What are they talking about…?

I thought so, but I didn’t have the strength to speak.

“That’s why I’ll seal you away.”

The moment I heard those words, my consciousness faded to black.
