The upper body of the soldier cut by Volk-san slams against the floor. The colour of the blood that scatters is green. The soldier’s body visible through the cut section is also a clear green, and as the body collapses, it leaks out through gaps in the armour. The soldier's body convulses, and then as though out of strength, spreads out and becomes entirely liquid. Within the span of a few short seconds, I am astonished for the second time.
He wasn’t human.
The lined up soldiers all draw their weapons, seething with bloodlust.
“Cheh! We took it too far after all!”
“Idiot, princess-sama had already predicted that this might happen, that the ones with good intuition would be about to move. As predicted, the Saint took the bait. Everything is within the limits of princess-sama’s plan.”
“The Dragon Hunter is as much of a beastlike man as the rumours said. It was a surprise for him to unhesitatingly take the initiative. But we won’t fall behind the likes of an adventurer any more!”
One by one, the soldier’s faces turn green and their mouths and eyes disappear, leaving slight cavities in an otherwise smooth head. Green droplets seep from their surfaces, pooling at their feet. They've transformed into strange gooey soldiers clad in armour.
The strange-faced soldiers glance at the other adventurers, then three of them approach Volk-san, surrounding him from three sides.
