Gaiden Episode 119

“… … don't get hit You are in danger too.”

” yes.”

At the same time as my warning, his wings trembled once, and countless lightning bolts were created and poured from above his head.

Squeezing the energy of a divine beast and using it like magic.

Perhaps that is also the method I used in the past. Was it left intact in the body and passed on to the next generation? … .

It's powerful, but not inescapable.

“Don’t get hit by lightning! Purified!”

After avoiding the attack, I create and throw a spear of flame. Likewise, Shen also drew strong energy and squeezed out a blue-black spear and threw it.

Each one burns a mountain or two, a piercing blow.

However, it was only enough to make Sylphia shake her chin slightly.

absurdly rigid

“and… … No kidding.”

“Is this the average of Shinsou?”

“It can’t be.”

That is an area that can be said to be almost special.

But even taking that into account, this amount of power is strange... … It's so intense.

At least it wasn't like this when I talked to him.

“I have no reason… …

It's clearly runaway.

“… … So, are you the one who made this guy like this?”

There is a gaze that I felt a little while ago.

As I stared at him, I blatantly paid attention to him, and he finally responded.

“That tone… … I guess I can tell just by looking at it. After all, are you that monster?”

The one who will answer that question must be the owner of the voice you hear now.

“… … What are you?”

There was a small shadow over Sylphia's head.

is that human?

As I focus my gaze, I see the figure of the man more firmly.

“You don't recognize this face? … … Well, you and I are no longer able to recognize each other just by looking at each other’s faces.”

A way of speaking that somehow makes you feel like you know me.

“… … Can you?”

“Did you remember? yes it must have been But even if you couldn't think of it, I have no intention of complaining. I was defeated in a single blow then.”

The reason I recognized him was because I accidentally recalled an anecdote from that time and pulled it out of my memory.

A human who led humans in the past and was hostile to divine beasts because of a vengeful spirit.

However, the one who was eventually eliminated because it went against my policy.

Undoubtedly.

“I managed to remember.”

The guy snorted, probably thinking that thanks to that, he had less time to introduce himself.

Are you glad that you remember me? If so, that's gross.

“Jingle jingle.”

But gross doesn't mean the guy's outward appearance.

“It’s so awkward… … Did you come back to life like that?”

the inside of the guy. As soon as I saw that guy, I was able to infer it to some extent.

“Could you have been alive since then?”

“Hoo? Does it look like that?”

He shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care if he peeped at him.

He does not hide his temperament, but rather reveals it as if to be seen.

“I don’t know the identity of the author, but he is truly evil.”

Instead of me, who was reserved for words, Shen gave his opinion.

“Undead… … No, it seems that the series is different from that one. It is more evil than any youkai I have ever seen.”

“Yeah, that's neither dead nor alive... … that one.”

At least as far as I can see, it spans the middle boundary.

In the end, the essence of lich or undead is to use the soul and body of the dead to deal with unclean energy.

But that's different.

“It doesn't matter. The important thing is that I still exist and my hatred is still unquenched.”

As he stretches out his hand, a turbid gray aura rises up.

“It's not like magic... …

Isn't it an aura that feels much more ominous than black magic?

That must be the factor that sustains him.

“It doesn't matter what it is. If I can satisfy myself with this, it will be enough.”

The guy smiles maliciously and spreads that energy to his heart's content.

With just that, the earth shook and the spirits of the divine beasts were disturbed.

Above all, the runaway of Sylphia he was riding on was getting worse.

“Are you using that power to deal with divine beasts?”

“haha. Shin Soo-ran is truly pitiful... …

With only this amount of energy, my eyes are dark and I can't judge my sanity. Ha ha ha ha... …

The guy laughs at the divine beasts and interferes.

“But this alone is not enough.

Killing them with this power is pointless now.”

“Are you still talking about that revenge?”

“It is not different. but… … It may have been wider than it was back then.”

range?

In the past, he only hated divine beasts and made the purpose of his existence to eliminate them.

As a result, even if he and his people were destroyed, he went astray to the point where he took it for granted.

But now he is full of madness to the extent that it cannot be compared to then.

“It doesn't matter if these monsters or humans. It doesn't matter which world it is. I will destroy them all.”

“… … you.”

“After losing to you, I thought about it for a long time. No, I couldn't help but think.”

“I don’t know. Yeah you guys don't know! What happened!”

As he clenched his hand, the ominous energy burned even more fiercely.

It is no longer a human domain.

That also worries me.

“Let me ask you one thing. Weren't you dead then? What happened after that?”

“… … It was a coincidence. I was in a state where I didn't know if it would be strange if I died at any time.”

Literally a miracle.

Even though only the head and parts of the body are left, it is still alive and breathing.

“But I'm just breathing... …

I could only think. I couldn't move a finger, I couldn't move my head.”

And time goes by.

Only one minute feels like an eternity, and only the inconvenient time bothers him.

how much... … how many years have passed

“Just thinking about hate makes me sick. towards the monsters... … My resentment towards you was not enough.”

He says he kept thinking.

“Why did you fail? What are you suffering for?”

“… … Do you resent me for making you that way?”

“resentment? That's not even funny. It didn't even last a hundred years. The target of the middle five is not enough with you alone.”

It must have been an unbearable amount of pain to resent the existence of only one person.

and would have come to a conclusion.

“Equally… … Whether it's a human, a divine towel, or the world, he resents everything. We came to that conclusion.”

And hate all equally.

Coming to that conclusion, he was finally able to move.

“It was as if I had received a revelation… … As if saying this is the correct answer.”

I hate it, but I don't see the fierce hatred like before. While calmly sinking, he becomes cold-hearted, displaying a perfectly intelligent and gentle demeanor.

“At first, I tried to pay my dues right away. But you were no longer here.”

I guess so. At least thousands of years must have passed.

It must be after I got tired of it and threw it out.

He said he was disappointed.

“At first, I tried to get rid of the divine beasts and purge the pathetic humans as well.”

It is said that the guy hid himself and hid among them.

At first, he simply planned to annihilate them alone.

It was only after realizing something that the plan changed.

“I realized that there is another world besides this one. There are humans there too. Sometimes there are monsters like this.

Besides that, all living things... …

The corner of his mouth is twisted.

“How disgusting.”

Hate everything.

True to his words, it seems that he hates even the existence of another world.

“Disgusting, disgusting! It makes me angry just to recognize that there are so many contradictory beings.”

“… … Right.”

“That's why I tried to get rid of them all!”

It seems that he disguised himself as a compatriot using the corpse of a divine beast to incite Sylphea and the others to find me.

In short, I ended up playing around with his tricks.

“Now I get it.”

After hearing it, I understood the essence of the author.

“You are no longer Mel. It's nothing more than a specter that inherited his memories.”

I'd rather be an idiot who ruined himself for a single vengeance.

That is a displaced soul trapped in a foreign environment.

Literally, a new species of evil.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that even I am the first monster to encounter here.

He doesn't deny anything about my point either.

“The old name is fine.

Rather, I like the current me more than the past me.”

Because the human mind itself will no longer remain.

It is rare among reincarnated people. Those whose senses become dull while repeating excessive life.

And the kind of people who make the wrong decisions.

Although the author is not a reincarnated person, nothing will be different at the point where his soul has already suffered enough to deteriorate.

“Well, I don’t know anything about that.”

It doesn't matter.

But what you can't ignore is the behavior he will cause.

“Can you understand that the purpose is the destruction of this world and other worlds?”

“joy. Then what will you do?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know? Then you have to stop it.”

At least, when someone does something crazy, common sense people should grab that person by the arm and punch him in the cheek.

And that would be our role.

“… … Shen

“I know.”

There is no lengthy instruction. It's not even a snack like that.

I nodded slightly, and Shen disappeared. In an instant, he points to Mel's back and swings his arm.

The strong energy wrapped around Shen's arm accelerates and rages even more sharply, unfolding like a storm of blades and engulfing him.

“… … this power. surpassed humans.

Right! Are you a monster too!”

“I don’t want to hear from a wicked creature like you.”

Mel laughed at Shen's attack, who responded coldly and unleashed a trickle.

However, unlike Shen, there is no technical delicacy.

Isn't it using that disparate power to offset the strong wind?

“Is that power consuming the inner energy itself?”

“This power belongs to neither side. That means neither of them will reach me.”

“… … then.”

Shen seems to have changed his policy to crushing them with direct blows, so he cuts through the storm of his own chi to close the distance.

He tries to pierce it with his fist.

Before his fist reached the pit of the stomach, Mel quickly widened his distance and jumped off Sylphia's head.

Does this mean that physical blows are useless?

or not… … .

“Hit it. Foolish king.”

Along with Mel's sneer, the pure white lightning from the super-giant god Sylpia fell on his body.

He doesn't care if he himself is caught in the lightning.

“This affair… …

As Shen gritted his teeth and dodged the lightning.

I took advantage of that gap and quickly moved behind Mel's back.

“Do some work. You son of a bitch.”

Aiming for an opening, I stretched my fist towards him.

“joy.”

However, as if anticipating my surprise attack, he moved his body in the air to avoid it.

I have no intention of hitting it with my fist.

let me open my palm

Dozens of magic circles unfold as if to surround him.

“Then what about an explosion?”

The magic circle that has been opened is a technique that causes intense explosions.

It was an explosive technique that could lightly rip even a fairly large chunk of iron.

“Explode.”

Puff pup pup pup pup!

Dozens of spheres of heat waves expand in succession.

Shocks that seemed to pierce the floor echoed one after another.

A destructive power that no normal creature would ever be able to withstand.

“???? Damn it.”

However, as I spurt the air without checking the result, a gray object flashes through the air.

“Chit. You are wicked.”

“No, that sounds like something I would say.”

Seeing its true identity on the floor, I had no choice but to put on a puzzled face.

all arms

His own arm he threw...

Let the deflagration clear. Mel did not hesitate to reveal his completely tattered self.

“I thought you weren't human anymore, but you're broken to this extent.”

To think of a counterattack by grabbing the torn arm from the explosion and throwing it... … .

Doesn't it already have the senses of a creature?

“Since you have ruined his body this far, you will no longer be able to escape.”

while I'm confused While avoiding Silfia's lightning, Shen suddenly falls and strikes his foot to crush his head.

“I will finish… …

“no! meaningless! Back off!”

“..?!”

Shen immediately complies with my warning, without thinking about the implications.

Before his foot touches his head, he spurts the air and turns to evade.

At that moment, Mel's body melted at the edge and the smoke that was generated tried to entangle like a vine, but barely missed.

“Was it a trick to avoid the blows so far?”

It was smoke from the start. It probably didn't matter if he got hit or not.

“No, it’s not like that. It’s unpleasant for me to show things like this.”

As Mel calmly reconstructed his body, he returned to his hideous appearance from earlier.

So I don't know who the monster is. How
