They are Goddesses So I am the Devil?, Or...

It was as if he didn't see him as a human, but something smaller, much smaller.

Like the look you give to a strange ant you find. You have a momentary curiosity but it soon passes and you crush it and don't think about it again for the rest of your life.

That was exactly the look the young man was giving him now.

"Hey!! You there, why did you come out of nowhere?! Hurry up and bring that brat here!!!!"

No matter how much the boss yelled, the lackey who had gone to get the young man didn't move. The commotion the boss was causing ended up drawing the attention of several who were fighting or trying to have more "memorable" moments.

Excluding the bandit on top of Amanda, who had already been on the ground unconscious for some time.

Soon after the young man appeared, Amanda was the first of all to come out of the almost trance and react to the man on top of her.

Gathering a bit of magical power in her hands, she was able to free herself from the man's grip, land a nice punch to the stomach and throw him headfirst off of her.

Quickly getting up, she placed herself between Clemencia and anyone who appeared, but it seemed that everyone else was either busy with their own "things" or with the young man, so that they could remember the young lady of the convoy and her knight.

"Miss, we have to go now."

"But where to? We can't leave everyone here to their own devices. Especially with the workers who are still in the wagons. And what about that young man?"

"I know, miss. But right now we have no choice. We need to go and call for reinforcements from the city as soon as possible. Hopefully, there will still be something after we get back."

Amanda tried to convince Clemencia, as difficult as it was for the young woman to leave the people who trusted her in this situation. Things weren't looking good for them, even with the young man, it could be said that his arrival may have helped the bandits more than the members of the convoy.

But while Amanda was trying to convince her.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! MY ARM!!!!!!!!"

A new scream came.

The difference was that this one came from a small hill.

They both looked in the direction where the scream came from, the same direction where the boss was previously shouting orders. They saw the boss holding his right arm, or the place where the right arm should be.

Not only that, they could also see a large gash in the ground. From the hill to the place where the young man was with his hand outstretched.

"Hmm, I don't think it was like that? Maybe if I do this?"

He said and moved his finger slightly. And out of nowhere a blade of air seemed to come out and go straight to the boss, tearing off his second arm easily.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

"Hmm, that was a little better."

Even with the deafening screams, everyone could hear the young man's voice and see him looking with satisfaction, but still with a citrus touch, at what he had just done.

************************

(A few moments earlier)

While Amanda was trying to get to know Clemencia and escape with a small contingent of knights who were still able to fight.

Helion was busy doing his initial checks with his nanobots on the trapped bandit, not only that, but a freer part of his mind couldn't help but comment to himself.

'Isn't this situation just like the kind of isekai protagonist?'

A noblewoman or someone with money is attacked during a trip, several of the guards are killed or the guards betray the owner of the convoy or carriage, suddenly when everything seems lost a hero appears from the middle of the forest who destroys all the enemies and saves the day. With the owner of the carriage usually being a lady who ends up falling in love with him.

'But there are also several different things, such as me being the protagonist in this case.'

Helion thought as he observed the "windows" in front of his eyes, showing several parameters about the bandit, including a 3D map of his internal structure. Where in addition to the circulatory system, an independent circulatory system could be seen connected to the additional organ.

'Hmm, even in this frozen state, the organ continues to circulate energy as well as oxygen. But then why doesn't it try to free itself by throwing something at me?'

He asked himself with his hand on his chin.

He then decided to do some initial checks on how the flow of "magical energy" would respond to certain situations, using the two captured bandits.

In the first, he made the nanobots he sent inside him constrict his throat to see if the flow continued normally. In the second, he left his throat free but prevented air from reaching his lungs.

"Aaahhhh hhhaa… aaahhh…ha..aaahhh"

"Urgghh, aaahhh… aaahhh…"

Ignoring the grumbling of the two, Helion continued with several experiments in mere seconds. What happened to the constricted additional organ?, the secondary circulatory system would be dependent on the first?, the energy would be deposited in some other organ besides the "additional" one?, among some others.

Even if these were just the initial experiments and he wasn't reading them to extremes being done in mere seconds, it's obvious that the results weren't very reliable.

'Not that it makes much difference. I can check it out calmly after I get back to the forward base.'

Helion thought with a smirk that would surely make anyone who saw it break out in a cold sweat.
