Wait, what does she want to do?
Sirocco immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
Mütter's behavior exceeded expectations.
She removed Sirocco's massive helmet.
? !
I rely on!
"Oh my, how cute."
Mutter's praise terrified Sirocco.
Sirocco felt his head rest on Mute's lap, feeling the softness and warmth of a woman's lap pillow, as she stroked his face with her cool hands.
Exposed.
Sirocco didn't want to expose his and Cass's appearances to Mute, in case they bumped into her again and were recognized.
Now that things have come to this, all we can do is hope that Mütt won't remember this nobody.
Sirocco closed his eyes tightly, using all his remaining energy to feign death.
"Wow, you're sweating a lot. This armor must be really hot. But it is a [tank] after all, so it must be tough on you... Hmm, when I heard your voice, I thought, plus your face, you and Yote look a lot alike."
The name Mute was referring to was her younger brother.
"This must be Lord Itzabilis's... recognition of me, to be able to meet someone so close to my brother."
Mute's voice was tinged with sobs, tears seeping through the black cloth strip, and a single tear fell onto Sirocco's face.
If you're so eager to see your brother, why don't you just die already?
Three years ago, Mütter used the same method as today to burn his parents and brother to death.
Mute suddenly kissed Shilock on the cheek.
The lips were as light as flower petals, as soft as cotton candy, and ticklish as if being stroked by bird feathers.
Sirocco tried his best to remain calm, at which point he seriously suspected that Mute was a brother-complex.
What are you doing?!
How could you possibly kiss that?!
Even I haven't...
This made Cass, who was peering through his helmet not far away, uneasy.
It felt like a small piece of my heart had been brutally ripped out.
But....
Sirocco has not given a signal, so you cannot move.
This time it's different from Cliff's. With Sirocco giving the signal, I'm sure I can provide support immediately.
I want to believe in Sirocco.
Cass bit his lip, his eyes beneath the massive helmet fixed on Mute's every move.
However, Cass completely misunderstood.
Sirocco's so-called signal was to calculate how long Mute would have to leave before he could get up and stop pretending to be dead, but Cass thought it meant war was about to break out.
With slightly flushed cheeks, Mute fiddled with Sirocco's stray hairs.
Seemingly still wanting more, Mute's fingertips lightly touched Sirocco's cherry-blossom-colored upper lip. After a slight hesitation, she tucked her golden-brown side hair behind her ear and bent down...
"------!"
A surge of murderous intent rushed toward Mute, and with a flash of white blade, Cass drew his sword and charged toward the two.
52. Sirocco, feigning death.
Ding--
A scythe appeared beside Mute, deflecting the attack.
Cass chased after him with his sword, but Mute lightly released Sirocco and immediately jumped back to create distance.
"An amount that could knock a group of ogres unconscious, yet you still managed to wake up. It seems your body is truly in excellent condition."
Mütter smiled and summoned four more scythes.
The scythe is coming!
Cass observed the smiling woman, causing her scythe to miss two or three times in a row.
Top left, right... tilted!
Cass dodged to the side and retreated.
In the room with its regular square structure, Cass was careful not to be forced against the wall while focusing on dodging attacks. Several times, fatal wounds "hit" Cass's head, abdomen, and heart, but he used his talent to reduce the friction to zero and slide away.
The warm, unique air of the dungeon licked my skin.
Huh? What...did I do?
Cass's mind reacted a beat slower than his body, and by the time he realized what was happening, he was already engaged in a deep battle with Mute.
Oh, right, Mütt.
Kissing Sirocco's face wasn't enough, he actually wanted to...!
Since Myute is a member of the Fallen Order.
It wouldn't matter if I killed him, would it?
Cass took a burst of speed, creating a whooshing sound, and his sword was aimed directly at Mute's neck.
"Wow... talent?"
Ding--! !
The sounds of metal clashing mingled as the scythe blocked the sword.
Mute calmly raised his hand, and a menacing crimson scythe appeared above Cass's head.
That was the move that instantly killed General Niu!
Cass's [Friction] talent's effective area can be expanded to the size of an arm at his current level.
If it's just this one strike....
You can dodge it!
The gentle smile that Mute wore sent a chill down Cass’s spine.
Gaston sensed something was wrong.
Six identical sickles appeared in a 360° view around the area.
We are completely surrounded.
Cass gripped his straight sword, adjusted the effective range of his talent, cut it into countless small pieces, and placed them all over his body, trying to predict the direction of the scythe's attack.
The bet is whether the opponent's attack will cut you to pieces first, or whether you will hit Mute first.
Knowing full well that it was futile, a pointless struggle.
They're going to get seriously injured anyway.
We should continue the attack.
I feel uneasy if I don't stab this woman who keeps laughing.
Just as the scythe's sharp blade gleamed and was about to strike.
The sickle suddenly stopped moving, as if it were bound by something.
It was a very short moment, even slower than the blink of an eye; it did indeed pause for a split second.
Cass noticed that Mutter's smile was somewhat stiff.
Seizing the opportunity, Cass imbued his straight sword with friction-eliminating technology, a move that had once easily sliced through the armor of the Maple Court Knights and slashed at Mute.
"—!! Tsk."
She only left a tiny scratch on Mute's cheek, and her alluring eyes didn't even look directly at Cass.
Cass leaped sideways, escaping the cage formed by the scythe.
Only after getting some distance did they realize that countless silver threads extended from the ground and ceiling, and countless shimmering silver threads wrapped around the scythe, tightly constricting and restricting its movement.
"Not bad, not bad, Mr. Wolf can move after all."
Mutter praised her, and with a smile, she tilted her head, causing all the silver threads to burst and vanish.
Sirocco held a stick-shaped tool in his hand, with countless silver threads at the tip.
R34 Binding Item: A net to entangle large monsters, priced at 1 R each. It can be recycled after use. However, if Mute destroys it, the item becomes useless.
Despite feeling a pang of regret over the items, Sirocco still responded with a wicked grin:
