On a road on the edge of the swamp, there was a fight between imperial knights and lizardmen living in the region. When a man who looked like the leader of the knights was about to slash the head of the lizardman before him, Ferisu fired a fireball to separate the distance between them.
"Curtain!" The man leapt back avoiding the fireball, then looked at the shooter in annoyance.
"Who are you fucking asshole!?" shouted the man with a frown while aiming his greatsword.
"Only passers-by" answered Ferrisu, and he stared intently at the emblem on the chariot.
"Are you imperial people? If so, I have a little business with you guys" said Ferrisu staring cynically at the train guards.
All the knights who were treating themselves drew their swords out and pointed them at Ferisu. When Ferisu was looking at the knights, an old man suddenly appeared before him while swinging his sword vertically in order to split Ferisu's body in two.
Ferisu just stood still looking at the man cynically, then his lips moved like he was reciting a spell. Green light particles appeared and formed a barrier that repelled the man's attack.
"Magic?" the man muttered as his attack was being held back, then he jumped back taking a distance of five steps. "So you're a witch well, I think it's going to be an easy fight" the man said in a mocking tone.
The man took a stance, his sword was on the right with a downward-pointing position. "That position, " Ferisu felt like he had seen her, not only that, he was very familiar with the horses.
It was just that there was a slight difference, namely that magic energy that should not exist suddenly appeared around the man's body. The man suddenly disappeared and appeared suddenly to the left of Ferisu while swinging his sword in a sloping position and slashing upwards.
Ferisu who was familiar with the movement instantly activated protective magic while pushing his body towards the right to avoid the movement. Only, the protective magic had no effect as if it had never been created, which resulted in the attack successfully slashing Ferisu's left arm until it was cut off.
"Gee!" Ferisu jumped back, trying to take his distance. However, the man again appeared quickly before him, raising his sword up and then swinging it down. The moment the sword touched Ferisu's hair, an arrow shot out rapidly hitting the blade of the sword making its direction shift.
Shiro moved quickly like a tiger chasing its prey. With his sharp claws, Shiro attacked the man with great speed. However, all of the attacks were avoided and the man kicked Shiro hard in the stomach causing him to bounce.
Licia and Kurumi came over to Ferisu, they stood right in front of him and pointed their weapons at the man who became the enemy. "Ferisu-sama, are you okay?" ask Licia.
"Yes, only my arm is broken" Ferisu replied as he held onto his severed arm. However, his regenerative abilities did not function properly.
What happened to my regenerator? Even his blood continued to flow like a fountain. The sword not only negates magic, but also has the ability to make wounds untreatable (poison) with magic or potions.
"Oni-chan, your arm!?" kurumi cried out in panic as she looked at Ferisu's severed left arm.
"Calm down, have you forgotten my regenerative abilities?" saute Ferisu. Then he focused his magic energy on the part of the arm that was broken off, but still could not regenerate.
The man was silent when he saw that. "Regeneration?" he muttered vigilantly.
While being silent looking at Ferisu who was regenerating his arm, Shiro suddenly attacked him from the side. "How dare you hurt Ferisu-sama!" shiro shouted loudly, then clawed at the man's face.
As his face was exposed to the claw, he grabbed Shiro's arm and threw it towards Ferisu. "My nails.. hahahah! This is totally insane!" The man suddenly laughed loudly.
Everyone there fell silent and focused on looking at the man. "Ferris... Furuhashi Ferisu, I will wait for you in the empire" said the man, then walked into the carriage.
The imperial retinue left from that place in his chariot.
Ferisu gasped when he heard the man's words. "Why....how did he know my full name?" his murmur was full of confusion.
After the departure of those imperial people, the atmosphere in the swamp became silent. The lizardmen looked wary of Ferisu's group. They are confused and do not understand, why different races can be in one group? What's more, why do humans have the ability to regenerate like trolls.
Ferisu's finished arm regenerated looking like new again, while his severed arm turned into black smoke and disappeared without a trace. Ferisu walked slowly closer to a lizardman who was lying limp in a swamp hand with both arms severed.
His body was pale and limp as if it could die at any moment. Ferisu lowered his head and touched the lizardman's body, a dark red glow appearing to grow two new arms. His pale body began to brighten again however, remaining in an unconscious state.
"Heal area..." Ferisu uses a healing magic that covers a large area to heal the injured lizardman. Each wound began to close, but they still felt weak from the lack of blood.
After all the lizardmen were healed, Hanz the leader of the lizardman army came to see Ferrisu. "Thank you for helping us" he said sincerely, though he remained vigilant.
"No need to thank you, is your village near here?" saut Ferisu asked.
"L-yes, our village is indeed near here. Do you want to go there?" hanz replied and asked back.
"Yes, if you don't mind," Ferisu replied.
Hanz nodded then all the lizardmen walked back to their village as well as guiding the Ferisu group there. A village full of lizardmen. Their house has wood that refutes the bottom so it is not exposed to mud or flooding when it rains.
"This is where we live" Hanz pointed out the village of the lizardmen.
However, all the lizardmen in the village flocked to run towards the door of the village while pointing their spears at the group of Ferisu. "Who are you!? And why come to this village!?" shouted all the lizardmen out loud.
