Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"...there's a bad feeling, a bad smell."

Ilimo mutters. At that moment, my presence detector picked up the presence of a powerful demon. The map shows that it is about 30 minutes away from our current location. It seems to have appeared near Lady Considine and the others. And there is a herd of deer around the area.

"Let's go check it out anyway.

"What?"

"Are we going to see their faces again?

The two girls look really uncomfortable.

"No, I don't care about the adventurers, but I'm worried about the demons that have appeared. Ilimo seems to be concerned about them too, so we should check them out. We can't let them go unchecked and cause damage to the Duchy of Niza or the Empire."

"This is... Master, let's hurry."

Ilimo is more impatient than ever. I quickly turn on my heel and head for the spot where the response came from.

There it was, a unicorn. It had a jet-black body and a large horse of about two meters in length. A golden horn sprouted from between his eyebrows. What we saw was Lady Considine getting her left thigh pierced by the unicorn's horn.

"Geeaaaah!

The unicorn's head rears up with the lady's exclamation. She is lifted up on top of the unicorn's head with her thigh still impaled. She shakes her head. Lady Considine's body flies through the air and slams to the ground. She does not move a muscle. Blood is pouring from her legs like a fountain. She is in a very bad state.

Just as she looks in the direction from which she was thrown, she sees a large number of deer. They are watching her, not doing anything.

Upon closer inspection, the bodies of the adventurers and their horses are lying around the unicorn. Some of them are lying with holes in their bodies and others with their faces blown off. Perhaps they are all dead.

The unicorn slowly turns its body in our direction. There was a little neigh, and then suddenly they started to charge. It's fast. We can close the distance in an instant. They quickly set up wards around us.

"Gah... ba-riiiiiiin!!!!!!!!"

The unicorn's movement seemed to stop for a moment, and at the same time, the wards were shattered. Then, the impact blasted it backward.

"Gah!"

He immediately casts Extra Heal and his body quickly recovers. Irimo, Ferris, and Ruara seem to be all right, and they quickly get up.

"Watch out, you guys! They're pretty tough!"

"Yes, sir!"

I'm okay!

Ferris floated up into the air with Luara in his arms and landed in a tree. Seeing this, the unicorn now begins to charge toward Ilimo. Ilimo, too, is not to be outdone and charges at the unicorn.

"Gakiiiiiiinnn!"

A tremendous shock wave is generated. As might be expected, Ilimo, who is inferior in size, loses his balance. At that moment, the unicorn thrusts its golden horn into Ilimo's side.

"Heeeeeee!!!!

Screaming, Ilimo falls to her knees. Blood spurts from her side, staining the forest soil.

"Windcutter!

"Ice shot!"

Without a pause, Ferris and Ruara's magic is released from the tree tops.

"Kiiiiinnn!"

The magic is bounced off the unicorn and vanishes in front of it. The unicorn sank down, breathing heavily, and raised both paws toward them. At that moment, a breath of ice is released from the unicorn's mouth.

"Kyaaaah!"

"Whoa!"

They fall from the tree tops with half of their bodies frozen. Just as I was about to go to their aid, I was pierced through the chest by a unicorn's horn.

"Gah!"

Blood begins to flow from his chest and mouth. The unicorn lifts its head. I can't get any strength into my body.

"This... this can't be happening..."

"Oh, dear, you've ruined your heroics. It would have been cool if you had done a little more.

A woman in a hood approaches. This is the woman who was with the Lady Considine.

"You... you... you... you... Why are you here?

"Ummm, I'm an assassin sent here to kill the ladies."

No... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no...

"Hahaha, you idiot. That Mr. Rekornai is the one who sent me here.

What...?

"You are a fool, aren't you? If you had just gone back to the empire, your life would have been spared, but you came all the way here to be killed, didn't you?"

"Who are you...?"

"Uh-huh. Well, you'll see in heaven."

"Mr. Linos, we've been wiped out! We can't even try to heal them!"

It's hard to tell because they've all been hit in the face, head and heart.

"I see. Okay. I got this one. We'll just have to be thankful that Lady Considine survived.

There I was, trying to get a limp Princess Considine on top of Ilimo, and Ferris and Ruara were trying to get close to her.

"What... what? What the...?"

"Because the princess was in a bad way. I knew I wouldn't make it in time if I did everything right, so I had you guys play with her a little. But you Poseidonians really are a bunch of jerks, aren't you?"

How did you know that?

"Your name is Utonica, a 28-year-old woman. I thought Poseidonians were good at illusion, but you're good at restoration magic. Is it any wonder you've been healing your family's injuries since you were a child?"

I have been invoking my appraisal skills on this woman for quite some time now. I have a pretty good grasp of the woman.

Who the hell are you?

"You've been working for the Recolnais for ten years. You've done some terrible things. Have you assisted in human experimentation? So you want to use non-Porsehai humans and other beastmen as experimental material? I've been metastasizing unicorns, so M! is depleted. I'm afraid you're going to die here."

"A-ha-ha! I'm going to die? What kind of a mouth does that?"

You guys are going to have to do a lot of M to escape in the transition. You guys use a lot of M! And if you need to self-destruct at the drop of a hat, you can do it with M! to self-destruct at the drop of a hat, right? The current M! Neither of these is possible with the current M!

"Why do you say that! No way, the warding master that Mr. Minnitz was talking about..."

I miscalculated. I should have been wary when I found out that the Emperor had put up a ward."

"Kill me! What are you doing? Kill him, quickly!"

Utonica is screaming at the unicorn. But the unicorn only shivers and shudders, refusing to move.

"It's no use. It's no use. I've already trapped him in my ward. He's been lusting after Ilimo. I'm going to have to punish him very severely.

"You broke through my wards just now! Why can't you break that many wards?

"Yes, the scene when I broke my warding was an illusion you saw. I was able to put up my wards when I saw the unicorn attacking the princess. But unicorns are amazing. They're so powerful with their assault and their water magic. And though it's a bit crude... it can also ward. No wonder adventurers can't compete with them. Could it be one of the higher species? Never mind. This one seems to kill a lot of people. Let's punish him."

I shrink the wards on the unicorn.

"Master! The horn of the unicorn is a cure-all! Do not let this be a detriment.

"Oh, I see."

I draw my holy sword and approach the unicorn.

"Clash!"

The unicorn's long horn slowly fell off with a sound like a machine breaking.

"Bwahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ouch!"

I shrink the wards even more.

"Boo-hoo! Bwihhhhhh!!!! Bwhee! Bwhee! Bwhee! Bwhee! PIGYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

With a desperate scream, the unicorn became a lump of meat.

"Now, Utonica. Now it's your turn."

I strengthen the wards and take away her freedom. Then I reach up and take off her hood. Inside emerges the face of a black rabbit woman. I put my hand on her head.

"Huh, you're even dumber than I thought. Did you have a hard time?"

"d*mn! Aaahhh! Nah! Why!"

"Just in case, I had to take away all your abilities. < again, okay?"

d*mn it! Noooooo!"

The woman's screams are too loud, so we force her M! The woman's screams are so loud that he forces her to take away all of her M! The woman, who has been lulled into a strong drowsiness, seems to be fighting against sleepiness, and she becomes limp.

Now, what shall we do with her?

"How about keeping him asleep and taking him as a hostage?

"First we have to get Recolnai and his men away from the palace."

"Mr. Rinos! That!"

I turn in the direction of Ferris's voice and see the glowing bodies of hundreds of deer. Then a small fawn appears in front of the herd.

One by one, the deer disappear. With each disappearance, the amount of light increases, until finally a blinding light covers the area, so bright that one cannot open one's eyes.

Out of the light emerged a huge deer.

It was large, but it had antlers as big as its body. It may have originally been a white deer, but it had black and red spots all over its body, and it was covered with wounds and bloodshed in many places. The deer moved forward unsteadily, but sat down on its knees with a "doh" sound.

Fearfully we approached the deer.

"This... this is a magnificent deer..."

"He looks like he's hurt pretty bad."

.

I heard a man's voice in my head. It seems that this deer is talking to me telepathically.

"What the hell are you...?"

"You say you are the Deer God! Why did you devour Niza's crops? And those scars..."

<>

"Deer God! What have you... done?

Hearing the story of the deer god, I, Gon, Ferris, and Ruara all cried.
