Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World-Chapter 9.4: Suzuki is Cute Even in a Savage World (4)

"L-Lady Noelle...! Your appearance is...!"

"Horns and claws! And also fangs! It's as if!"

The soldiers shut their mouths to contain the words that were about to follow.

Noelle, of course, sensed the changes in her body. There was only one elixir in the world that could give you the strength to defeat an ogre far beyond your own strength.

During the Great Human-Demon War, it was forbidden to use this powerful concoction. By injecting the mana of a demon into one's body, one could gain attack power and magical power that is unattainable by humans...

In other words, it causes "demonization".

(I don't care! As long as it will help my mother!)

Suddenly, footsteps running on the ground were heard. Noelle turned around, alarmed.

Suzuki's expression turned grim as he ran towards the collapsed Uhouguru.

(Suzuki... Has the sleeping powder worn off by now?)

Neither Excella nor Suzuki had finished their wine. She had expected them to be asleep until morning. No, she wanted them to sleep.

As Noelle and the soldiers stared in silence, Suzuki, with tears in his eyes, held the vicious ogre's hand.

"Uhouguru. You protected Suzukiland, didn't you?"

"I, have killed... many humans. That's why... This time, I wanted to be useful to humans."

"Thank you. Thank you so much."

"Suzuki... Run away... that gal... is strong"

"It's okay. Don't worry."

Uhouguru smiled and hung her head in distress. She seems to have just lost consciousness.

(How can it still be alive after taking so many blows?)

As she stood in awe at the ogre's tremendous life force, she noticed Suzuki standing right in front of her.

Suzuki turned his eyes away from Noelle for a moment and looked around at the burning houses and the dead villagers.

"WHY!? How could you have done this..."

"Sacrifice for the greater good."

"Are those Noelle's true feelings?" Suzuki asked in a low, quiet voice.

Noelle glared at Suzuki, feeling as if he had seen right through her.

"Shut up! Mother's will is my own will!"

Noelle, accompanied by her soldiers, attempted to walk past Suzuki. However, Suzuki stood in the way of Noelle.

"I won't let you go any further."

"If you don't want to die, retreat. There is no way that you, who are so weak, can win against me, who has become a demonic human. Even the bug-using ogre couldn't do anything against me."

"Couldn't do anything? Uhouguru has done enough! Now... I have a fighting chance." 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

"What are you talking about? Don't you know your own weakness?"

"That's right! I'm weak. But it doesn't matter how weak I am or how strong Noelle is."

"You don't know what you're talking about," Noelle irritably said.

However, Suzuki turned his determined gaze toward Noelle.

"Pritis will work."

(W-What the hell? Was it like this when we first met...?)

As she looked at Suzuki, her heart pounded in her chest. Noelle had a bad feeling about this and drew her sword.

"Do you really want to die that badly? Then you should learn...! The power of the Heavenly Sword that will save the world!"

Tengen filled Noelle's body. She controlled the blue aura and transferred it to the sword at will. It was a technique she couldn't use no matter how many times she practiced. However, now that she'd turned into a demonic human, it should be possible.

(It's the least I can do as a gesture of mercy. With the Divine Blade "Mizzle", I will send you to the other side without feeling any pain!)

If "Ice Sting" was a one-hit kill technique, "Mizzle" was a continuous strike technique. It instantly cuts off the victim's head, slices off the torso in half, and severs off the limbs as well.

(He should have just stayed asleep with the sleeping powder. If he had not woken up, he would not have died. And yet... Ah, Ah---... what a pity...)

Noelle was horrified by her own thoughts.

(What a pity!?? What the hell!? What the hell am I thinking in the middle of a fight?)

She shook her head from side to side. As Noelle concentrated on launching Mizzle, she put all her strength into the hilt of her sword.

In response, Suzuki------

"Pritis's 48 Gestures---Twentieth Gesture, 'No Defense'"

She realized that Suzuki was trying to do something.

(It's no use! Without magic power or agility, how can you dodge sword blows coming at you from every direction?)

"Divine Blade 'Mizzle'!"

.

Noelle passed by Suzuki while swinging her sword at a speed that leaves afterimages. Noelle hesitated for a moment and then looked back. There, she should have seen the dismembered body of Suzuki.

"...Huh?"

Noelle could not help but be shocked. Suzuki was standing there in perfect health as if nothing had happened to him.

(D-Dodged? Mizzle's continuous strikes? N-No, he didn't move an inch!)

She immediately noticed that Suzuki had not moved an inch. In other words, did she... miss?

(What..? Do you mean to say I subconsciously thought I didn't want to hurt Suzuki?)

Noelle gnashed her teeth.
