Butcher Demon-Chapter 261
Chapter 261
“Stop!”
A shout rang out.
Abigail, escorted by Rudra, rushes out from the opposite end. Natsuki, Yakumo, Ferris, and Lydia are also with her.
Abigail shouts to the man with the eye patch, waving her hands.
“Captain!! Wait!!”
“Abby-chan!?”
InoRyder pointed her assault rifle at Ferris and the others.
Vani also pulled out her axe, but Rudra held his palm out.
“Sis.”
“Rudra? What is this about?”
“Whisley!! Get rid of the butcher at once!! there is nothing we can do if they surround us!!”
“No! Listen to me!!”
『Gevaudan, are you okay!?』
『Do we still need the barrier!?』
『My arm……』
『I’m coming! Jibodan!』
『You guys, stay right there–』
hear a lot of different voices, but I can’t take my eyes off Whisley, the man with the eye patch.
His aim is dead-on between my eyebrows and his finger is on the trigger.
Abigail’s words stop him from firing, and I am able to stand up. If it wasn’t a surprise shot, I can avoid it. Because the bullet trajectory is predictable. I should be able to.
Even with–.
The tall figure of Whisley looked strangely large to me.
What made my confidence waver was the glint in the eye of that Whisley guy. He is like a hawk, never letting his prey go. He has that kind of fierce look.
This intuition has saved my life many times. I couldn’t let my guard down. I’m cornered.
–.
–Hey, that gun……..
Isn’t that mine?𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
Oh crap……..
I can’t believe I’m getting pointed at with my own gun, with the sniper technique I invented…….
“No, Captain! Don’t shoot!!, our enemy is Yasmin!!”
Abigail pointed to Yasmin, and all eyes went in that direction.
『Yasmin?』Arshella let out a small voice.
“Abigail. We can’t just let the Butcher go no matter what the Secretary General has done. Hirsch also told me that the current 88 situations are caused by that butcher.”
Whisley remained motionless with his finger on the trigger.
Seeing him like this, Abigail’s face was filled with bitterness.
Her brow furrowed tightly, and she clenched her teeth and fought with whatever word was about to come out of her throat.
As everyone watched with bated breath, Abigail finally whispered.
“Captain —- that’s not just a Butcher.”
“What?”
“That’s Nigel.”
Abigail raised her voice and repeated.
“……It’s your comrade, the Fox’s Golden Grim Reaper, the person who is believed to have died in 89!! that Nigel!!”
There was a ripple in the air, not so much of a shock but more of a confusion.
“–What are you talking about? out of a sudden…….”
“It’s true. That’s Nigel. The one you call senpai and love.”
“Hey, don’t joke around in this situation…”
“It’s true, InoRyder.”
Natsuki said.
“It’s really the truth. I’ve been talking to him for a long time. We even lived together. He’s not an alien.”
“Talk? Living with the Butcher? No, that’s horseshit…….”
InoRyder shakes his head.
“I also talk to him on the way here.”
“Really?”
Vani asked, her eyes widening.
“The aliens tried to kill me, but he saved my life many times.”
Rudra confirmed.
There was a brief silence.
“—-Whaaaaat!?!?”
After a few moments, InoRyder let out a shout. It was a shout that rang out from the bottom of her stomach.
“Aliens are using human soldiers to transform them into Butcher. That’s the truth I discovered in that city…….”
Abigail said, and InoRyder’s face turned a beet red. Blue veins emerging. Her bloodshot, narrowed eyes shook as she stared at me.
–What a nice face you have there. InoRyder. My former hound.
“I am Gevaudan.”
I said as I continued to glare at Whisley.
“I’m just a beast now. I do not remember anything of my past and am not interested in it. I’m on no one’s side. I simply come here to defeat the very thing that haunts me.”
Stunned, all human there was speechless.
“You heard it. He can speak human language. That’s why…….”
“That’s enough, Abigail. There’s no need to talk when we’re killing each other–“
I silenced Abigail.
“Shoot me, Whisley. And I’ll fight back.”
I looked into the eyes of the hawk that shone behind the scope and said.
Then, with my remaining arm, I pointed at Yasmin.
“I swore to the name of the merciful and cruel goddess. If you do not want to die, do not interfere with me killing this woman.”
All eyes turned to Yasmin.
Then Arshella, who had been mumbling for some time now, looked up.
『Yasmin, Yasmin…… fight Elysium……—-mm?』
She cocked her head, squinted, frowned, then her eyes widened and she shouted loudly.
“—-Ahhhhhhhh!!”
The dragon’s pupils contracted as she turned her head abruptly.
Her lips quivered, and she rambled on loudly.
『Gevaudan!! that woman is Jasmine!!』
『What? No, that’s Yasmin.』
『No, Jasmine !! J-a-s-m-i-n-e !! one of the masterminds in the Golem War!! sister of the missing hero Desmond !! the most wanted criminal. 』
Ferris suddenly readied her arms like she getting repelled by something.
『Jibodan, get away from her!! Jasmine is a doppelganger!!』
『Watch out!!』
With Lydia’s warning, an inexplicable chill rushed up my arm.
