Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 46: Mutual-Evit 6 of 10 “White filler flows” (Part 02)

After riding a horse-drawn carriage for more than twenty minutes from the Klista settlement, the two finally arrived at a place full of rocks that still entered Rockfield territory. It was quite far from the common route commonly traversed by traders or nomads, surrounded by old cypress trees and large rocks that blocked the air from the direction of the mountain peaks and the sea.

Getting off the carriage and tying the two horses to a tree near where they had stopped, Odo picked up an oil lantern and rushed off into the forest. Amidst the lack of lighting due to carrying only a lantern, Odo walked down a fairly steep path leading to the place that Vil had told him about.

Walking for less than five minutes, a glimpse of whitish blue light was seen amidst the darkness. Getting closer to the light, a female figure of white hair carrying a stick with the tip becomes a source of blue light whitish. Not far from her, there was also a little girl who was squatting and leaning against a tree.

They were Nanra and Canna, the two people had long waited and guarded the targets they had captured. In front of the two of them, a man whose two legs were injured was tied with a rope on a large rock. The man's face was extremely pale, his breathing was breathless, and cold sweat poured out. He lost quite a lot of blood and also had a fever due to an infection in his wound.

“Finally came too,” Canna said when she saw Odo and Vil coming.

Nanra immediately got up, walked quickly towards the young man with black hair who came and asked, “Odo ..., what .... are you okay?”

At first glance the young man stared and gave a light smile. Nanra stared anxiously, slightly recalling the young man's condition the last time she saw him in the Klista settlement. Nanra saw Odo unconscious with blood splattered, coming out of a broken vein.

“Yes, I'm fine.”

Looking at the young man's shirt that still left traces of blood, Nanra again asked, “Really? You're not lying?”

“For what I lied,” replied Odo while turning his eyes away from Nanra. Putting on a dark expression and gazing towards the man tied to a boulder, the young man asked, “So, his condition?”

Canna approached, hitting the ground with the lower end of her wand and adding light intensity to her wand to illuminate the spot. In a tone that seemed less satisfied, the miquator wizard said, “As Mr. Odo saw, Kolt managed to catch. Perhaps Master has also got his explanation from Miss Vil, his condition as you see it now .... If even manipulated his face, will not be found out?”

“Eng ...” Odo put the lantern he was carrying on the ground, stared flatly and said, “Take it easy. I can outsmart it. First ...” Odo reached out to Vil, then asked, “Please get me Potions and daggers, it's on H-33 and WP-12.”

“Hmm ...” Vil pressed against the surface of the Dimensional Bracelet, activated it and accessed the storage room the young man mentioned. Issuing the requested item, Vil handed it to Odo, “This ...”

Upon receiving it Odo immediately approached the bandit leader, Kolt Luis, then poured Potions into the wounds on both his legs. The man was only speechless with his pale face, a severe fever made Kolt Luis' consciousness collapse and his body numb. As if he did not care about it, Odo knelt in front of him and held the two leaders legs and manipulated the information.

“Identification started, read Basic Form. Done it. Reading Main Lines. Done it. Identification completed. Layer construction, using a formula from Infinity. Re = construction process starts.”

The meat information on both legs of Kolt was altered, his nerve tissue was recreated using Potion fluid and his bones were reshaped with calcium made using iron transmutation of the blood. The severe wounds on both of the men's legs were slowly covered, the tissue recovered and the effects of permanent paralysis were easily removed.

Although his legs have healed, but the fever suffered by Kolt is still there. Odo let it go, then touched the man's forehead to implant a packet of information into his head with a time-period activation order. Kolt's eyeballs were wide open, like they were about to come out and his mouth was gaping with saliva flowing out.

“AbKemla TolBalme MEial MAmcal NIEmal IMS .... Ak Ak Ak Ak.”

Random words came out from Kolt as information entered his head. His body was convulsing, his eyeballs were swirling and his expression was rapidly changing from sad, angry, in pain, and happy.

Finished infusing the information into the man's head and making him speechless with a flat expression, Odo lifted a hand from his head and slightly stepped back to begin the other process. The leader of the bandits really looks mentally damaged, looking right and left like a mental disorder.

“A-What did Sir do to him?” ask Canna. As a magician, he felt that what Odo had done was very vile because it damaged one's personality like that.

“Not to worry, I just implanted a package of virus into his brain. It should have governed his personality. This is so that when executed he does not speak unnecessarily. Next ...”

“This ...”

Canna stared with a reluctant expression, feeling like such a thing was more cruel than killing. Nanra who did not understand what Odo was doing just fell silent, she did not feel sorry for the bandits and instead felt that the man deserved it.

“This is cruel. Because of that ... I will do it quickly.”

Odo made preparations to gray the physical form of Kolt Luis. With a dagger in his left hand, Odo sliced thinly through the fray of his own right hand and let it flow dripping down the bandit leader's face. The flowing blood began to seep into the skin, then moved as if alive and changed the posture of Kolt Luis' face.

The changes that occurred were very chaotic, Kolt's face began to look like a lump of meat that was urinated and did not look like a human face at all. His face was like reddish flesh with a nose on the forehead, a mouth on the cheeks, and ears around the chin. Everyone who saw it was disgusted, except Odo.

Touching the formless face with his right hand still dripping blood, Odo began to manipulate the chaotic flesh information to form the face he wanted. Odo closed his eyes, processed the information on the face of Tox Tenebris he remembered and forced it into the information of Klot Luis' chaotic face.

“Ansimilation process begins. ****Basic Form information, Input information begins.”

The flesh of Kolt's face pulsated, giving off liquid and slowly began to change its shape. The process takes a long time, arranging the meat by manipulating the physical forming information and accessing its basic genetic makeup. The chin, mouth, cheeks, eyes, lips, and parts of the face were reshaped to resemble Tox Tenebris.

Finished making modifications to the face of Klot Luis, Odo raised his hand from the man's face while carrying an eyeball that is not needed from the components of the face. The nerve in the eyeball that the young man picked up was still alive despite being out of place, pulsating and having a warm temperature.

“Vil, open storage ODR-05 ..”

“Ba-Good!”

Vil approached, pressing the surface of the Dimensional Bracelet and opening the magic circle for the space that Odo mentioned. After putting the eyeball into the storage room, the young man looked back at Kolt Luis whose face was now very identical to that of Tox Tenebris. The man with brown hair with a sangar face, has a beard and berewok, and his left eyeball is absent and black marks are found around him.

Even so, Kolt Luis' body is very far from a word similar to Tox Tenebris which does tend to be stocky. To overcome that, Odo slightly sighed and said, “You guys should go first.”

“Eh? Why?” canna asked confusedly.

“I .. need to strip it. Although his face was already similar, the body needed to be changed as well.”

“Ah ..” His face showed an understanding expression.

“Alright,” says Nanra.

The two of them left without protest or wonder. Canna and Nanra had already wanted to leave the place because they started not having the heart with one of the bandit leaders.

As Vil was about to leave with the two of them, Odo called, “Oh, yes. Vil, can you help me? I need the storage.”

“Eh?” Vil turned his head reluctantly, he put on an expression of disgust and said, “Ehmm, alright.”

After that, Odo made modifications to Kolt Luis' body in the same way as when he changed his posture. It took a very long time and the young man had to use more blood until it made him limp. There are several body parts added to Kolt and some are reduced.

There was no sound of screams, the man was completely helpless and could only fall silent. Not whimpering, screaming, fighting, or even resigned. He is only empty because the virus is embedded in his head, making his consciousness still there but his personality is disturbed.

A few days later. The moment of execution of the bandit leader, Tox Tenebris, had arrived. Under the rising sun at its highest peak, people gathered in the town square of Mylta. They came not only from the coastal city, but from neighboring cities such as Rockfield, Vadusi, Litista, St. Lacus, Izta Maria, Lignum, and there were even executives from the Capital and the Rein region who came as witnesses.

A wooden stage was set up in front of the fountain, becoming a place for execution with the Guillotine on top. The beheading knife looks shiny in the sun, has been sharpened by blacksmiths and will be used after being abandoned for years in the warehouse. People gathered in front of the stage which was located back to the direction of the sea, began to talk and say words as if impatiently waiting for execution.

“Finally came too today, that bastard deserved to die!”

“Ah, correct! My niece fell victim to the depravity of the bandits as she went to look for a garden in the forest! He deserves this punishment!”

“Because of that shit, this city is like a dead place! The route comes closed and we suffer! Huh! Finally the government did its job too!”

“Hey, he said there were also witnesses coming from the Capital, loh!”

“Isn't there an important meeting related to the selection of the candidate pair Princess Arteria? Does the central government consider this to be important? Or the candidate has been determined?”

“Once, I don't know either. Maybe because it's a matter of Luke's territory, it could be that Lord ordered one of the envoys to bear witness.”

“I don't care about any of that! What matters is that the bandits will die! Tch! I hope this execution will torment him first before killing him!”

“Oi, oi, relax ...”

“Which way maybe I can calm down! That bandit-led group has killed my fiancee and my older sister!”

Those gathered in the square were filled with different emotions and goals. There are people who hold grudges because their families are victims of the brutality of the bandits, some just want to watch, there are traders who feel happy because execution is also a sign of the complete liberation of the trade route, he said, and various other things filled the minds of each person.

On the morning of the clear afternoon, a man in full armour climbed onto the stage carrying official parchment paper.

Opening the scroll, he loudly read it, “Announcement!! On this day the execution of the bandit leader, Tox Tenebris, will be carried out!! Upon the general lawsuit of the Public Prosecutor, City Level, Region Level and Central Level, it has been decided that Tox Tenebris is guilty! The lawsuit amounts to 539 things! At the verdict of the Royal Religious Party, the execution will be carried out with a decapitation device today with an outside witness of the Envoy from the Capital and the Rein Region!”

The atmosphere was silent for a moment. The soldier in full armor rolled up his parchment, then descended from the stage through the back. Not ten seconds after he left the stage, the sound of cheers broke out.

“OUUUUH!!”

“MATI YOU!!! DAMN IT!”

“ULTLY!!! FINALLY”

“HAAAAA!!”

From the side of the stage, a person whose head was covered in cloth was escorted by the soldiers. Both his hands were tied with board handcuffs, his clothes were tattered and his body was covered in abrasions. Seeing that, the cheers began to subside and the attention of the nearly five hundred gathered was directed at the person who came. The man who was escorted was taken onto the stage, forced to kneel and the cloth covering his head was removed.

The man was the leader of a bandit, Tox Tenebris, a burly man with brown hair and a shaggy beard. His left eye was absent, having black marks around it and his stern face

People began to absorb when they saw the man's face, cursed and berated Tox Tenebris. Hysterically, hatefully and utterly condemn the man who has been the source of tragedy in Luke's territory over the past few years.

At the verdict of all levels of the lawsuit, only the man will be executed because in testimony his family did not participate in the crime. But because of the issue of community value, the man's wife will enter into a surveillance status even though she is not arrested and her supervision will be left to one of the civil servants.

The head of the Tox Tenebris was inserted into the hole of the Guillotine, both of his hands were shackled and the preparations for the execution had been completed. A burly executioner carries an axe to break the decapitation rope.

“Fail him!”

“Quick behead that bastard!!”

“Kill!!”

The patience of those who waited for the execution from morning was running out. The soldiers who stood as posse in front of the stage were overwhelmed, restraining those who tried to break through.

In the midst of the riotous atmosphere, one of the nobles who came as a witness went up on stage. He looks very young, has distinctive dark brown hair and a bright green cornea. Dressed in neat clothes and a dark red suit that accentuated the impression of nobility, he stood gallantly on the stage accompanied by his two bodyguards.

The young man who became the envoy of the Rein region was Arca Rein, the first son of Thomas and Calista, a legitimate heir to the Rein family. At the age of just 16 years old, Arca has received the title of Knight and completed his basic military education and nobility. He came to the place as a representative of his father who is now still in the Capital.

Seeing one of the messengers go up on stage, Iitla Lots who became a posse with her subordinates was immediately shocked. He left the line and went on stage, “Master Arca! Wh-Why did you climb up here? Didn't I tell you the messenger was sitting there with the others? Kena—?”

“What do you say, Mr Iitla!” The statue raised its own chin, gazing with a look of haughty eyes and pointing towards the witnesses, “See there! If I sit there, how can I see this execution!”

Iitla's forehead shriveled, The Warrior Chief began to get annoyed with the Rein family's eldest son. Immediately hold his shoulder tight, he snapped, “Can't! Execution place must be executioner! That's the rule!”

The statue stared flat, turned its gaze and saw both of its bodyguards wearing full armor up to the helmet. They both shook their heads. Looking back at Iitla, the dark brown-haired youth said, “Ah, whatever. Just do the execution. I'm tired of waiting, you know.”

Arca put away Iitla's hand, then went down with her two subordinates with a haughty expression like her ruler.

“Basic boy,” muttered one of Iitla's subordinates who became a posse.

Hearing that, the statue that was about to sit with the witnesses came to a halt. Looking up and approaching the soldier, the dark brown-haired youth held him from behind and pressed, “Hmm, what did you say? What did you say?!”

“Ti-No...” The soldier instantly trembled in fear of the young man's status.

Seeing that from the stage, Iitla reprimanded, “Master Arca! Please don't make trouble, you want this quickly finished, ‘kan?!”

“Hah! Alright!”

The young man sat back in his place. The witnesses who were in one place with the statue no one commented. The young man was born to a family that held the greatest political power in the kingdom after the King, one sentence of which could determine the future of those working in the realm of government.

Iitla took to the stage, leaving the executioner ready to execute the bandit leader. Standing near the witnesses, the Chief Warrior slightly glanced at the statue and put on a troubled face due to the presence of the Rein family's eldest son.

The statue is famous in government circles because it was educated to plunge into the world like that. He is indeed clever and expert as well as the descendants of Rein who was born as a specialist in government and law. But because he was still young Arca, the eldest son of three brothers could be said to be quite arrogant and easily provoked by emotions.

“He was very different from Mr. Odo,” thought Iilta Lots while sighing fretfully.

Because of the ascension of Arca to the stage, the atmosphere became strange and the people who gathered even talked about the eldest child. But when the execution will continue, the sound of muai's absorption broke and the crowd returned.

The executioner approached the Guillotine and prepared to break the rope to lower the decapitation knife.

“Are there any last words, criminal?” the burly man.

Tox Tenebris turned her head lightly, smiled palely and said, “Today is beautiful, yes.”

“Hah?”

It left the executioner stupefied, staring flatly and slightly remembering the reports of the guards in the city prison where the bandit leader was detained before being taken to the execution stage. According to them, Tox Tenebris suffered a slight psychiatric disorder on the day before the execution day now.

“Today fresh air, yes.”

The bandit leader only answered with insignificant words, as if his mentality had been damaged by stress. Iitla who was at the bottom gave a sign to the executioner, raised her right hand then —

Tcct ....

The sring!!

The rope is cut and the knife falls, decapitating Tox. Head rolling on the floor of the execution stage, blood flowed profusely through the wooden path that was on the decapitation and into the available bucket.

In that moment, the sound of cheers instantly broke out and the square was instantly filled with hysterical satisfaction of the people who had been waiting for the execution. Iitla as one of the execution committee only put a flat expression, his mind was full of other problems because the day before his execution he heard bad news related to Klista settlement.

Sighing in agitatedly, the Warrior Chief muttered, “What ... Miss okay over there? It feels annoying not to be able to stand next to him and help.”

.

.

Outside the crowds watching the execution, Odo stood in the shadow of the building of one of the government agencies. Slightly sharpening his gaze, he looked towards the headless corpse that had begun to be carried out from the stage.

The young man in black hair who always wore a shirt and black pants was accompanied by Vil, women who have also over the past few days have always worn the same outfit and consist of blouses and subordinates of tight trousers that are attached to short skirts.

Vil pulled the sleeve of Odo's shirt from behind, then anxiously asked, “What's the matter like this, Odo?”

Glancing at the small with a thin smile that seemed cold, he replied. “It's fitting. Now just press it again to that person .... Let's go back to the inn.”

“Huh, alright ...”

They both walked out of the place. The person executed was not the original Tox Tenebris, but Kolt Luis whose face Odo had altered in such a way. The young man had exchanged the positions of the two of them shortly after returning to the city.

As Canna preoccupies the Mylta city government with reports of Klista's settlement, Odo infiltrates the city's prison to swap the positions of the two bandit leaders.

Of course the young man had planned this before he set out to find Kolt Luis, which is why he secured Tox's wife Tenebris to make him unable to turn down the offer.
