The Strongest Mercenary of Naruto

Chapter 446 Headless Horseman
"Urgent notice! Urgent notice! All adventurers, please prepare your arms immediately, and gather at the main gate of Axel City in a combat state! Repeat! All adventurers, please prepare your arms immediately, and come to Axel in a combat state Gather at the main gate of the city!"

The familiar broadcast sound spread throughout the town, but compared with the broadcast before the cabbage crusade, the tone was much more tense and serious, making the atmosphere of the whole town instantly dignified.

Uchiha Kazuhiko and everyone looked at each other, and immediately followed other adventurers to the main gate of Axel City, preparing for the upcoming battle.

When Uchiha Kazuhiko and others rushed to the main gate, a large number of adventurers had already gathered here, but the expressions on their faces were completely different from usual, all showing expressions of tension and fear.

Uchiha Kazuhiko squeezed out the crowd in front of him and came to the outermost layer of the crowd, and found a headless horseman standing quietly on a hill not far from the main entrance, exuding an amazing sense of oppression.

……

My name is Beldia, to be precise, this is my real name.

At that time, I was a knight loyal to justice, but because of an injustice attack, I offended a powerful nobleman in the country, and was finally sentenced by the kingdom for unreasonable crimes.

Under the entanglement of resentment, I failed to reincarnate. Instead, it was ironic that I transformed into an undead creature that I hated extremely during my lifetime. It was not until I was incorporated by the Lord Demon King that I became the "Headless Horseman", one of the eight major cadres of the Demon King Army.

Not long ago, the Lord Demon King who lived in the Demon King City observed a holy light descending on Axel City (that is, when Sato Kazuma and Akuya landed on Axel City), so he entrusted me to come Investigate here.

Although I have become an undead creature, the code of chivalry that I believed in during my lifetime has not disappeared. I am not interested in bullying the weak, so I did not go to the novice city of Axel and led my men to the abandoned castle in the wilderness. , began to investigate things related to the divine light.

On the afternoon when I was stationed in the abandoned castle, before I had time to send people to look for clues related to the holy light, the abandoned castle where I was stationed was suddenly bombarded by [Explosion Magic].

"Could it be that some overreaching adventurer has discovered my existence and is planning to come here to attack me?!"

Out of this thought, I immediately led a group of undead subordinates to gather and prepare to fight the adventurers.

However, after I waited for several hours, no adventurer came to the door, and I sent out to search for the enemy's subordinates, and no trace of any adventurer was found.

I was at a loss, so I had no choice but to put this matter aside temporarily, and ordered my subordinates to continue to complete the investigation task assigned to me by the Demon King.

In the afternoon of the second day, I was sitting in the hall of the old castle analyzing some news obtained by my subordinates. The old castle was once again bombarded by [Explosion Magic] from an unknown enemy. When I rode my beloved horse and rushed out of the old castle angrily , but still did not find the enemy's location.

If it was just like this, I would have endured it, but what I didn't expect was that from that day on, my castle would be bombarded by [Explosion Magic] every day, and even one morning, the number of times [Explosion Magic] raised to two.

The harassment day after day made me very annoyed. For this reason, I specially gathered all my subordinates to scatter and hide in the nearby area, and finally found the man behind the daily harassment of the station—a newcomer adventurer from Axel.

Since the other party is a new adventurer, as a powerful knight, I can't use force against them, but in order not to let them interfere with my completion of the task arranged by the Lord Demon King, I decided to go to Axel and order them not to harass me any more. Own.

……

When most of the adventurers gathered here, the headless horseman started to move. Under everyone's gaze, he pointed his severed head at them and roared loudly.

"I'm a cadre of the Demon King's Army. Not long ago, I moved to a nearby castle temporarily. I used to live well, but..."

Speaking of this, the Headless Horseman seemed to be enduring something, his head shook slightly, and he roared angrily: "Every day, every day! Who is the sick fool who continuously releases [Explosion Magic] into my castle all day long? ?!"

"Explosion magic?!"

"Speaking of people who can use explosion magic..."

"Speaking of explosion magic is..."

After listening to the words of the headless horseman, the adventurers began to talk about it, and soon realized who the headless horseman was referring to. After all, in Axel, only Hui Hui, who was highly respected [Burst Explosion] Magic], a Crimson Demon mage with an abnormal mind.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Hui Hui turned her head away with a guilty conscience, her petite body trembling slightly, obviously realizing that she had made a serious mistake.

The Headless Horseman also noticed this, glaring at Huihui with blood red eyes, and asked, "Are you that idiot who runs to cast explosion magic on my castle every day?!"

Huihui took a deep breath, walked a few steps forward in the tragic atmosphere of 'gone forever', came to the front of the crowd, nodded and admitted: "That's right, it's me."

"Little girl, if you want to attack me because you know that I am an officer of the Demon King's Army, then attack the castle openly? If you don't have the courage and ability, just hide in the town and tremble obediently." ! Why do you use such insidious means to trouble me?!"

After discovering that the attacker was a young and ignorant girl, the Headless Horseman's anger dissipated a lot, and he asked in a relatively calm tone: "I know that there are only low-level adventurers in this town, so I don't plan to come here either. I am asking you for trouble, after all, I have my own tasks to do, so from now on, I am not allowed to release [Explosion Magic] again."

The Headless Horseman meant not to use [Explosion Magic] on his castle anymore, but Megumin, who was panicked at this time, understood that he was never allowed to use [Explosion Magic] in the future.

"My name is Huihui, and I am a great magician who manipulates [Explosion Magic]. I have to release [Explosion Magic] once a day, so I cannot agree to your request."

The obsession with [Explosion Magic] overwhelmed the fear of the Headless Horseman, Megumi straightened her back, and refused the other party's request without hesitation.

"Huh? Are you going to use [Explosion Magic] no matter what? It seems that you really don't cry when you see the coffin, so let's let you feel what real fear is!"

The angry headless horseman no longer suppressed his aura, and the magic power released wantonly caused the originally clear sky to be shrouded in dark clouds in an instant, thunder rumbled, electric snakes danced wildly, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out!
