Chương 97: 97. Turns Out That Man Is...
Seeing the magic of the man in front of him that was similar to Hiiro's, he tried to remember who that man really was. But it's useless. He hasn't read Konjiki no Wordmaster in a long time. Especially, the nano brain chip only retained the memories from when he obtained it as well as any past memories he could recall.
A Nano brain chip is just a memory storage device similar to a hard drive. Like files on a computer, files won't save on the hard drive if they're not saved. This also applies to his nano brain chip.
Well, it can't be helped. After all, the nano brain chip is a ★3 reward. So it's not surprising that the chip isn't perfect.
Izumi sighed.
"Looks like I need to force Hiiro to erase this man's memories. But, let's see what this man is up to."
Izumi couldn't just kill anyone if they saw his current appearance. He wasn't that cruel to kill innocent people after all.
Izumi looked at him.
"What are you doing here? What's your purpose?" Izumi asked coldly.
"Sorry, I just want to paint, look at this!" The man showed his painting.
"I'm not a three-year-old kid who can be fooled that easily, you know." Izumi kept staring at the man while crossing his arms. But, he didn't say anything. So, Izumi took a step closer.
"Are you spying on that guy over there?" Izumi pointed at Hiiro with his thumb. If Izumi remembered, the man in front of him wasn't from the palace.
"Not talking, huh?" Since the man in front of him didn't say anything, Izumi threatened him with the sword he took out of nowhere.
That man felt goosebumps.
"The hell, this boy is too scary! If I made a mistake with my words, I'm sure he would cut me off." He said inwardly.
Then, he raised both of his hands, gesturing to Izumi to stop.
"Wait wait! I'm also an Evila just like you."
Only then did he remember who the man in front of him was after hearing the man's words. Even after knowing who he was, his expression and tone didn't change. He still asked.
"You? Evila? Then, why did you look like a human?"
"Well, because it's my job. I need to change my appearance completely." The man explained briefly.
"Prove me that you are Evila!" Izumi forced that man to state the truth. However, that man asked back instead.
"You are an Evila yourself, how did you get here?" The man was quite confused, in his thought, he wanted to know why would Izumi get to the Humas continent.
"Heeeh. Who gave you the courage to ask back?" Izumi suddenly raised his sword threateningly.
"Hold on! You negated my magic. How could I prove to you that I'm the same as you?" That man was so afraid of Izumi. Even though Izumi looked quite young, his ability to negate magic was terrifying. In addition, Izumi hadn't shown his magic at all.
"Hmmm, why do you need to prove yourself by using magic?" Izumi pretended to ask confusedly.
"I'm in disguise, this is not my real appearance."
"Screw it, how would I know you're really an Evila by changing your appearance? I don't even know you! What if this is your real appearance, then you changed your appearance with magic? Do you think you wanna fool a kid?" Izumi wondered, how could this person be so dumb.
"Alright, alright. Wait a moment!" Then, he browsed through something from his bag. After a moment, a golden badge was taken out by him. On the badge, there is an engraving of the number three, which is circled by the engravings of Cruel Brigade above, and Teckil Shizaa below.
Then he said,
"Could this be used as proof of my Identity? My name is Teckil Shizaa."
"Oh. Cruel Brigades?" Izumi looked at the badge. He brought his finger to the badge, then flicked it.
"Hmmm, this isn't an imitation right?"
"You still can't believe it? You're kidding right?"
He didn't have any other means to prove his identity. So, he was somewhat lost. He didn't know what to do.
"Fine, fine, I believe you. I was just kidding. Besides, I also realized that you weren't lying from the start." Izumi said with a chuckle.
Teckil was so speechless after Izumi stated that. To think that he was being toyed with by someone younger than him.
"But well, even though you said you're Teckil Shizaa. I still didn't know you. All I know is the Cruel Brigade."
"Your serious expression scares the shit out of me, you know."
Teckil grumbled about why Izumi didn't tell him from the start if he was joking. Luckily for him, Izumi wasn't his enemy. If he was. Even if Aquinas, the number one of the Cruel Brigade, was here, he still didn't have the confidence to take Izumi down.
Afterward, Teckil changed his appearance. There were no significant changes in Teckil apart from his tanned skin and pointed ears.
The question Teckil had asked earlier had not been answered, so he asked it one more time.
"Could you tell me why you are on the Humas continent? With your current appearance, I'm honestly quite surprised that there hasn't been any news of an Evila on this continent."
Izumi held his chin for a moment.
"Hmmm. How should I begin? Truthfully, it's pretty embarrassing I would say. I'm lost and didn't know how to get back until I met those guys over there." Then, he pointed in Hiiro's direction.
Teckil slapped his own forehead.
"How did you even get lost? Each continent should be separated by a huge river. How can you not realize it?"
"How should I know if that huge river was a border between continents? I never even left my tribe. Because there was an unexpected incident where my entire tribe was massacred without my knowledge. I've been chasing and killing undead creatures all the time since then." Izumi said dishonestly with a straight face.
Even so, Teckil believed his words.
"Massacred? By undead? You're this strong, how could you not notice that your tribe was under attack?"
Feeling that Teckil was easily fooled by his words, Izumi continued,
"How should I know? At that time, I was out hunting. When I came back, it was already too late."
"Sigh. That's quite unfortunate."
"By the way, the undead that attacked my tribe aren't like ordinary undead. They look like living people, but they are somehow corrupted by some energy. In addition, their attacks contain corrosive properties."
With such reasoning, Izumi directed his words toward the appearance of the former demon lord, Avoros. He didn't know if Teckil could take the hint or not.
Avoros is a former demon lord who has the power of a necromancer, which can revive the living dead into puppets that he can control. Well, what Izumi remembered about Avoros was that he was the last boss, who not only had necromancy but could also negate magic with his eyes.
"Wait, did that corrosive attack you mentioned result in something like this?" Teckil started to draw something. Miraculously, the painting moved like an anime that hasn't gotten its final touches. The animation depicts how an undead attack hitting a tree, results in black spots that periodically creep throughout the tree.
"Heh, this guy is so talented." Izumi said inwardly.
Then, he nodded.
"That's right." He confirmed.
"Did you have a clue about that incident?" Teckil got curious. He might not know where Izumi's tribe was. But, looking at Izumi's appearance, he was certain that Izumi's tribe was somehow hidden from this world. However, because of a tragic incident in his tribe, he was forced out of his nest.
"Hmmm, what sticks out in my head the most is the incident where I killed a high-level undead that had intelligence. How should I say…" Izumi looked at Teckil after he stopped his words. He wanted to know how Teckil would respond if he told him what he thought.
