episode_0158

To be honest.

I wasn’t in a good mood.

Of course, the other person must have known that, so they gave me that same sly look.

“———-”

They’re saying something, but I can’t really hear anything.

The one that ate Alexstras is full of unrealistic colors, and although it is completely black, it is stained with colors with a depth that gives it a mysterious feel.

Rather, it feels like the Milky Way was hovering in that black place “, which is a cliche of a villain that often appears in comic books.” Does it feel like that?

“Now you are the only one left. Northmund.”

Was he mistaken in thinking that I was blankly sticking out my tongue? He turned towards me and said while laughing.

Looking at that idiot’s face, I smiled brightly at him.

“You are also very kind, Northmund. I never thought there would be this much doubt. Well, thanks to you, it went so easily.”

“I understand. Then I also have one last question.”

“Are you, like the idiot who just disappeared, curious about the reason? You still understand that it’s a bit big.”

“Then let me ask you, what should I do after this?”

“Yes?”

In response to my seemingly helpless remarks, uh… This was really unexpected, but I got the same dumb answer.

Because he swallowed Alexstras and became a being that felt like the universe was swirling somewhere, I felt like the part that I thought was his face twitched a little.

“What does it mean? Are you really giving up your resistance like this? I like it, but I feel like I’ve lost a bit of energy, so there’s no reason to set the mood like this… .”

“You seem to have changed a lot as a person. In terms of personality. When I first met you, I didn’t feel like it was this frivolous.”

“… Um.”

The guy made a slightly strange expression. Maybe you had a feeling that what I was talking about. No, that would be correct.

That Northmund just gives up at the end like this? Was he this kind of guy? You must be thinking the same thing.

The moment his gaze glanced at me as if watching me, I felt the anxiety and strange relief in his form and smiled again.

“Answer briefly. What should I do next?”

“… As I said before, what are you talking about?”

“How to absorb that great being. If I were to kill the bug in front of me right now, there would be no way for me to know what to do afterwards.”

“… iced coffee. Was that the story? Then you should say so from the beginning. It is also a disease to use too many punctuated speech techniques while talking to each other. It annoys the listener. Tsk tsk.”

The guy raised his hand and made it look like he was clutching his chest. He lifted the hand-shaped object as if he was about to do something, pressed it strongly against his chest, and raised his presence towards us.

“What the hell, what the hell. Northmund, you are probably the only one who can relax like this.”

Sigh, swoosh.

With a sound as if something were being torn apart, the fragments from the chest began to spin around him in a circular motion.

And the next moment.

Kiiing, with an ear-piercing roar.

The place where he was standing was completely destroyed. And right after that, an explosion that feels like pure white fills the place.

“Oh, are you going first? great. I wanted to get along properly with you. Then let’s go!”

Before I knew it, the guy came around me and grabbed my arm.

At that moment, I felt as if the gravity of the place where I was standing had become dozens or even hundreds of times stronger. The pressure is so strong that even a large steel container can be reduced to junkyard scrap.

Of course, there would be no disagreement that the cause came from this damned guy holding my arm.

“You’re a bastard!”

I clenched my teeth to resist the attack of the guy who was pulling down his arm heavily, and I strongly percussed the chest of the guy who was close to me with my other hand.

Kwazijic! With just that touch, it breaks through the wall and flies dozens of meters, and a ridiculously dreamy landscape is visible from the wall that breaks through.

Leaving behind the bird’s-eye view of the rain pouring down, I immediately saw the sight of the guy holding his balance, hovering in the air, and laughing hahaha.

The guy is still playing around. In that case, let’s quickly bring him back to reality.

Thinking that, I immediately kicked the floor with my foot and rushed forward as if shooting.

This series of processes may seem long, but they actually happen in a split second, before it even lasts a second.

Around me, as the guy shot out like a cannonball, stone fragments were flying as he pierced the wall of the watchtower. I kicked up the stone fragments with my foot and pointed them at him, then grabbed my bayonet.

The rock, which had the force of a tank’s main gun, hit the guy’s body, but he didn’t show much of a reaction.

Even though my great sword, aimed straight at him, would cut his body in two.

Hwi-ing.

“Wow!”

The guy’s abdomen is cut and split in two. It was so easy. Rather, I was a little surprised.

The blow was so vain that it was cut into two pieces and fell hundreds of meters into the air near the watchtower.

The fact that the mana light spewing out from the great sword burned the cut part of the guy and looked like a comet’s tail was a bonus.

‘It can’t be the end.’

There’s no way he could have died like this. I raised the hand that was not holding the sword and tried to cast magic at him.

At that moment, someone’s voice was heard from behind.

“Hehe, this really hurts. Also Northmund. I got hit as a test, but if I keep getting cut, honestly, I can’t guarantee my survival.”

“… !”

“I guess I got a little cocky after swallowing Alexstras. Northmund, you exceeded my expectations. To be honest, you are stronger than me. I admit that.”

I squinted again.

There are many types of humans in the world. No, this guy in front of you is not a human, but in any case, it can be seen as an intelligent being that thinks on its own, is lively, and expresses its opinion through language.

And then I realized what kind of guy this guy was. This guy, this fucking piece of trash, is just crazy. It’s just madness.

When I attacked him once, the sensation I felt was not much different from what he had just confessed to. This guy is definitely below me.

But is he this relaxed even when he is at a disadvantage? He’s just a crazy guy.

And there is only one cure for this kind of madness.

“I’ll kill you.”

“Huh, well!”

Unless you put it to rest forever or completely suppress it in the first place, this type of thing can never be cured.

I stretched out my fist and gave it a big punch to the guy’s head. The guy’s arm wrapped around me again, but I grabbed it with my other hand, broke it, and put my fist right through his head.

Suddenly, with the sound of a watermelon bursting, the huge, misshapen head breaks open, and the dark, sticky substance inside flows out.

But he walks away from me and shrugs as if he doesn’t really care.

“You lost this fight, Northmund.”

“You seem to have lost your mind now. Even though the hierarchical relationship between your power and mine comes from your mouth.”

“So you are wrong.”

The guy who is walking away from me extends his hand towards me. Soon, a black particle cannon was fired from its hand and headed in this direction.

‘back?’

The moment I got the eerie feeling of mana moving behind me, I, who was floating in the air, immediately activated the fly spell and escaped the spot.

But before I knew it, the black beam had changed its trajectory again and passed by my shoulder.

“It is true that you are stronger than me, but you are not strong enough to silence me with one blow. With that alone, you have already won or lost.”

Beams of black light are fired from all directions, or even ahead, as if filling up the field of vision with no time to think about what he said.

I dodged everything if I could, and if I couldn’t, I deployed my mana shield to block and threw my great sword at him.

‘Are you thinking about the amount of mana?’

I thought about his reaction while fighting like that.

When I came here, my body felt energized and I didn’t feel like there was a huge lack of mana circulating throughout my body, but it was still true that when I used magic, the mana from my whole body was drained in clumps.

Obviously, I have poor fuel economy. Absolutely.

“How long can you hold out, Northmund?”

“… Only the snout survived.”

“Aren’t you feeling it too? The fact that I’m not doing my best yet.”

The guy chuckles and the beam attack becomes more intense. Not only is the bulkhead of the watchtower that the guy and I had jumped out of shattered, but the watchtower itself completely collapses and falls.

‘It’s at a disadvantage if you’re in the air.’

It’s not easy to hit him in the air. So, he must be floating in the air right now with his back to the sky.

“Come down.”

“Please? There’s nothing I can’t do if you ask me.”

“Then I’ll drop you off.”

I took a deep breath, pulled my body back strongly, and then threw my body forward.

A faint smile appeared on the guy’s face. No, it seemed that way. But soon it turned into surprise and astonishment.

“Wow!”

My elbow got stuck in the chest of the guy who was preparing to dodge my movement that was firing like an anti-aircraft gun from below.

I thought it would be a rather subtle sensation, as the universe is floating around inside my jelly-like body, but surprisingly, I felt a crunchy sensation through my elbow, as if I had hit a human body, and my insides were being crushed.

“Tele… Port!”

“You didn’t expect to use magic? As expected, it’s a waste.”

When I hit the guy in the chest, it felt like someone was pressing down on my shoulders with strong force. As expected, my body becomes heavy when I touch it.

In that case, there is no choice but to inflict as many blows as possible before doing so.

“Wooo! Oops! Hehehe!”

A rain of fists poured down. At the same time, the strong grip that was weighing down my shoulders weakens a little.

I keep reaching for this guy and this happens.

‘It looks like it’s not an ability that activates automatically.’

It seemed to be an ability that was activated through a devil’s unique ability when something touched his body.

Perhaps that was the unique ability of this disgusting scum called Dimostra.

‘But isn’t that so ugly?’

There was a reason why he wasn’t given a proper role in developing the version of 『Kiss Siege Sense』.

Aside from his mean personality, isn’t it too shabby? No matter how you look at it, it’s not a leading role level ability.

It’s not like he’s an executive of a third-rate villain, or even an executive. Isn’t this an ability that only one of the henchmen would have?

Isn’t this an ability that appears at the beginning of the story when the main character is weak, puts the main character in a bit of a corner, but is defeated by the awakened main character?

“It should be at least future poetry.”

I couldn’t understand what it meant when I heard it cut out front and back, but looking at the guy’s intense reaction, it seemed like my meaning must have been conveyed to him without adding or subtracting a single word.

No, did I say something wrong? If you listen to Yoon Sia’s words, at least Alexstras’ abilities are future. It’s an ability that wouldn’t be surprising for a villainous organization boss to have.

Manipulate time, secure the future, and bring your imagination to life. Isn’t this the cliché of villains in boys’ comics with supernatural abilities?

“At least that idiot couldn’t even use that precious ability properly!”

“Who said what? Why did you get stabbed alone?”

“Profit!”

“Don’t change your mind. That won’t change your abilities.”

“Northmund!”

There is a saying that it is disgusting. It’s such a popular word these days that there’s no one who doesn’t know what it means, so there’s no need to expand on it.

Apparently, this was his vice. It’s a funny ability, but when you think about it, it’s a trivial thing, but I didn’t expect such a strong reaction to occur.

‘Still, he seems to have been in a high position even in the past. ‘Have you been despised because of your abilities?’

“Please don’t be rude.”

“I really want it. Are you trying to control other people’s thoughts? I guess you’re not proud of yourself.”

When you laugh out loud and smile as if you are mocking the guy, the guy’s reaction becomes very intense.

To me, it’s a really insignificant little thing, but they say they’ve been around for eons, so if the disdain had built up over that time, they might have been under quite a bit of stress.

I’m just passing this on, but is that why he became so corrupt? If so, I understand.

This is Won, it seems like the guardians weren’t really a normal organization.

Anyway, it seems like bingo was the confirmation of this guy’s abilities. This ability is greatly influenced by the mental state of the caster. There is nothing more to say just because the effectiveness of the blow is weakening.

The same goes for using beam attacks from the beginning. Was it because I was trying to set the mood by pretending to be relaxed, just to make a fuss about it? Was it an attempt to pass it off as if his extraordinary abilities were not an important point?

If you look at it that way, he probably had his own plan set up, but he probably didn’t know that it would be exposed like this. Well, it’s a bit pitiful.

“It’s a complete breakdown of character. I saw a lot of ugly things today. There’s no tension, no sense of crisis, and a kid obsessed with childish things is whining about being the last boss. I don’t know how to react.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the guy’s leg kicked me in the stomach. At the same time, my body becomes a little heavy.

‘To be honest, it is a highly useful skill.’

First of all, having to touch the opponent’s body is a huge penalty, so it is difficult to use it properly, but it is a very practical ability.

It is an ability that has particular strengths in close combat. Of course, it won’t have much of an impact on me.

I grabbed the waist of the guy who was trying to get away from me and used teleportation once again.

The two large bodies fall to the soggy, wet ground.

And the moment I was about to throw my fist at him.

visor!

Then something sharp hits my hand and I feel a hot laceration on my clenched fist, as if I had been cut with a knife.

The guy stretched out his hand and drew it horizontally.

The blow that killed the demon who appeared to be Alexstras’ close associate earlier.

“Hmm.”

But it doesn’t really hurt me. The scales on my knuckles were a little damaged and the outer skin was damaged, that’s all.

“It’s over!”

And I punched him in the face with all my might.

A blow struck with all my might on the face of the guy lying on the floor!

Quaaa!

There was an explosion as if it were a missile, and the whole body of the guy who was being pressed down and restrained by me lost all strength.

The swung fist blew away the guy’s face, and even the surrounding area. All that remains is a very thin lower body.

The fragments of the thing that had been torn apart by the explosion flew around in the air.

Black rain is falling in the sky. Could it be said that it was a wonderful sight to have something like jewels fluttering in the rain?

hmm.

The rain doesn’t seem to stop and I, who am facing it head on, am getting drenched.

This rain is made of abyssal water. I, Northmund, am not greatly affected by the abyssal water, but I wonder if my whole body is soaked. I gradually felt like my body was getting heavier.

No, rather than feeling heavy, the floor feels sticky and muddy, as if I fell into a tidal flat.

“… ?”

Is your body getting heavy?

The moment I noticed it and hurriedly stood up, a faint voice from afar tickled my ears.

“… Ugh, ha… Black… Huh… under… eww… Hak.”

Rough breathing. I don’t know if it’s breathing, but judging from its reaction just now, it seems like it’s breathing.

Dimostra. It would certainly be more correct to view the traitorous devil who stole the body of the reserve as a human who has mastered the power of the devil rather than the devil himself. This shows that humans have not been able to abandon their biological characteristics.

The demons I’ve fought so far didn’t seem to suffer from any physiological phenomenon such as shortness of breath.

“K… haha… Do you think I’m going to die from something like this! flaw… Hmm… Hak.”

“It seems like everyone is already dying.”

“Like this… You don’t die because of it. You should have known the moment you first cut me with a knife!”

“That’s right, it’s truly amazing. What happened? Is it like teleportation? Or, even if the body is damaged, can it be repaired at another point?”

“Do you think you can tell me!”

“Even leisure has disappeared. Worth knowing.”

I pretended to think for a moment, lifting the hand that wasn’t holding the sword and smoothing my chin. The scales made a strange jingling sound as they were scratched by the fingernails.

“Yes, I really almost died. There was a chance, but the moment you failed to kill him, your chance was lost, Northmund.”

“Everyone was dying, but only the mouth lived.”

I raised the corners of my mouth with a smirk and raised the great sword in my right hand.

Light gathers there and burns white, taking on the appearance of a torch.

His ability is to apply pressure to something that touches his body. I don’t know if it’s a gravity manipulation system or some other type of supernatural ability, but it’s a type of ability.

In other words, it is currently on the ground, and the ground is soaked with water due to the heavy rain, so it must be using the water to exercise its supernatural powers.

But it is so weak. The pressure I feel is just like the feeling you get when you step on the floor with a double-sided sticker on it without knowing it?

It wasn’t the crushing pressure I felt when I touched him directly.

Well, I guess so. If you use this ability over a period of time, there will naturally be a penalty to your ability. If that hadn’t happened, he would have used this method a long time ago.

No, if I had that level of ability, I wouldn’t have been embarrassed in the first place.

“Enough with the kids’ pranks, Collector, no, Demostra. There is no way you can win. So admit defeat and tell me how.”

“Tsk, tsk tsk tsk tsk.”

“I’ve lived an ugly life for a long time with shameful abilities, but wouldn’t it be nice to be a little cleaner for the moment? There is also something called Yujong’s mummy.”

“As expected, you don’t seem to be affected much. Even if it were to pass through a medium like water, the pressure would be enough to sink a luxury yacht into the sea.”

“Because it is more expensive than a yacht.”

Similar to my relaxed expression, her face is also full of laughter. Of course, it is not the kind that looks innocent, but the kind that is full of obscene meanness.

No, now that I think about it, when did this guy start speaking informally? This is also proof that he already has no time to spare.

“Kwikkk, but are your disciples the same as you? ”

“Hmm?”

Then he raised his finger and pointed to the other side. An action that could not be seen because it was hidden behind the walls of the inner city, but whose meaning you would not know.

Actually, I vaguely felt it too. The range of expression of this guy’s abilities is quite wide.

“Will your disciples be able to carry a yacht on their shoulders and cut down the monsters that come in like waves?”

“What do you need to know?”

“… What?”

I grinned loudly again, twisted the corner of my mouth wide, and this time raised my middle finger towards him.

He must have been surprised by my reaction, but this time I saw him look dumbfounded.

While looking at that guy, I tilted my head slightly to look as arrogant as possible and said,

“That is the situation of my disciples, and that situation does not mean that it can save you who are about to die here.”

“What? Northmund you… Well, I guess that’s not the style.”

“I believe in my disciples. I don’t think the guys I trained myself would be defeated by scum like you. Rather, you are arrogant. How dare you look at my disciples?”

“Cheeky!”

“If you are not confident, say it honestly. And get down on your knees and beg me to save you. I also thought you were planning a strategy because it seemed like you were up to something, but this is really pathetic.”

“Northmund ugh!”

Instead of answering its shattering screams, my greatsword tore open its entire front.

Let’s finish it as quickly as possible. Even though I said that, I don’t want any harm to come to my students.

In fact, even though I said it casually, I was feeling a little burned inside.

My acting skills have deteriorated a bit lately, so I was worried that I might get caught by this guy, but it seems that someone foolish and already in a state of anger didn’t have the time to figure out the truth.

And I tore through space and created a storm.
