Chapter 1112 – The Strongest

000

At the top, while Cleon and the others are taking care of other clones.

Two clones attacked the group on the lowest floor.

A clone of ‘Knife’, who showed quite powerful regenerative powers, and a clone of Mando, who continued to deliver magical slashes with overflowing magical power.

＂Lower pressure!＂

As Yuni’s cheering sound rang out, her feet were raised high and struck the ground, tracing her curves.

The ground will make a ‘thud!’ Sound, reverberate, and split apart.

＂Ugh! “I thought I just got hit!”

“It’s okay, I’ll help you!”

When Yuni said that, Nemeia shot out at her side like an arrow and swung her fists and claws sharply with her magic.

A blow so powerful that an afterimage is left in space, with powerful strength and magical power added.

But.

Hehe…!＂

＂Ugh…!＂

Sigh! And thinking of her blood splashing, Nemeia would frown one of her eyes as she felt the blood sticking to her face as well.

The body of the kitchen knife clone, which was bubbling and had strong stab wounds, recovered without even leaving a trace of the wound.

No matter what wound or attack method is used, Cleaver’s clone immediately recovers from the wound and does not even flinch from Nemeia’s attacks.

Or rather, using her regenerating body even though she was wounded, she ignored Nemeia’s attack and tried to stab the kitchen knife into her skin.

But.

＂Where…!＂

If you take a step back and snap your fingers at her,

A ray of lightning stretched out like a snake, flew between Nemeia and Cleaver’s clone, and exploded at the same time, creating a strong shock wave.

Pow!

＂Braising with electricity is not my style~＂

While Cleaver’s clone was pinned to her feet by the shockwave, Nemeia was able to safely distance herself and retreat behind her.

“Don’t go too far forward with an unfamiliar body!”

＂I’m sorry…＂

To her black uni who saved her, Nemeia could not make her excuses, so she would have responded.

In fact, if she hadn’t been Yuni, it wouldn’t have been surprising no matter where she got stabbed.

“You shouldn’t overdo it, Nemeia. Our goal is…”

＂Ah… That weasel over there. It’s about holding out for the time Bavanshi said. I know.”

As Nemeia said that, she glanced behind her, and there…

With her eyes closed, there was Melusine floating slightly in the air by her magic.

Still, it had not returned to its original form.

I could see that the concentration of cold magical power felt in her body was thicker than before.

It’s already been 3 minutes since she told me to buy 5 minutes of her time.

I don’t know much about the other person, but for some reason, her voice was persuasive.

Should we call it respect for the strong, something that can be seen through animal instinct?

The injuries suffered by the black cat were treated to some extent with Uni’s divine magic, but it has not yet regained consciousness.

＂…＂

She must protect his group with Uni while Cleon, who helped her, is away.

After giving and receiving a few hits, she seemed to know how to deal with the guy.

It doesn’t care about its own attacks at all, but that doesn’t mean its attack or defense power is exceptional.

What she is able to do is that she can ‘ignore’ her opponent’s attacks and come towards her, and if she engages in a dirty fight, she will definitely win.

That alone would be a significant advantage, but that does not mean that there are no countermeasures.

Just like before, if you push away using a technique that widens the distance between you and the other person, you won’t be able to approach this way.

Swords. Among them, he wields a kitchen knife with a level of reach that is embarrassing to even call it a weapon, and it is natural that he cannot do anything unless the distance is shortened.

Kicking, pushing with hands.

In that way, if we buy enough time to avoid being attacked-

Growling.

At that time.

From somewhere, I heard a sound like a clock in someone’s stomach ringing.

No, there is no need to say ‘someone’.

Because there was only one person like that here.

“Ah. Hungry. I worked hard because I thought I might be able to eat solids for the first time, but I can’t believe it didn’t work out this way.”

And, as she spoke quietly, she took the kitchen knife she had been holding in her hand, this time with both hands, and brought it close to her stomach.

Then.

Sigh! Sigh! Deep!!

“Aha! Ahaha! Ahahaha!!”

With the kitchen knife she held upside down, she stabbed her stomach again and again.

Her blood spurts out and scatters everywhere.

Even though the distance between them was quite wide, blood flew out and stuck to the two Unis, so you can see how intense the act of self-harm was.

That shocking sight sent goosebumps down the spines of those watching from behind, including Nemeia, and was so cruel that it made them feel sick.

Nemeia felt herself break into a cold sweat at her madness, and Yuni had to cover her mouth with her hand.

＂Dae, what on earth did you do…＂

But, nevertheless.

Even though I hurt myself so violently.

Her body returns to its original state.

No, somehow… It seems to be playing faster than before-

Her blood-stained kitchen knife seemed to glow strangely.

＂Ah… If you put something in your stomach like this, the hunger will go away a little… ＂

That moment when I lost my mind for a moment while hearing such absurd words.

She spoke while licking her own blood from her kitchen knife.

＂Artificial sword. Liberation. Baelje.”

When you think of the sound of laughter echoing from somewhere.

The next moment, Nemeia felt ‘gravitation’.

＂What…＂

The feeling of something grabbing you and pulling you.

Her strong pull brought her right in front of the clone using her kitchen knife.

＂Nemeia!?＂

“It’s not my will!”

When she responds like that to Yuni’s surprised voice.

＂Welcome! Food!”

And, a clone of a kitchen knife with her arms wide open.

However, seeing the flashing kitchen knife in her hand, Nemeia broke into a cold sweat and used her manpower to kick her.

Bang! While making a sound, she will be pushed behind her.

＂Hehe~!＂

Even if I feel pain, even if I widen the distance.

＂Pfft… Still…!＂

Her attraction does not disappear.

Moreover, this time, it wasn’t just Nemeia.

＂Wow…!?＂

＂What is this…＂

The Unicorns coming from behind will also make that kind of voice.

They too were pulled towards the clone who was swinging her kitchen knife as if they were being dragged by something.

＇Is it magic? However, the only sign of magical power in this guy… Was the sword he was holding… Did he have abilities other than regeneration…!

But it will assist, so if you keep pulling, just keep pushing.

Nemeia will clench her teeth and throw her kick at her once again.

＂Yes, attacks like this are something that must be avoided.＂

Whoosh, this time she dodged Nemeia’s kick by turning her head.

So, this time-

The clone of the kitchen knife slashed at Nemeia’s side as if it were going out of the way.

Blood is splattered once again, this time it’s not the clone’s but Nemeia’s.

＂Nemeia!＂

Yuni’s voice echoes, but Nemeia speaks, barely able to contain her dizzying pain.

＂It’s okay… It’s okay!＂

And then, she grabbed the back of the kitchen knife clone that escaped from her side.

＂Haaa!＂

Just like that, he used her strong strength to throw her.

Boom! She flies at high speed, making her sound.

And then boom! She was pinned against the wall with the sound of something breaking, and her head was crushed.

Once again, the body tissues scattered around return to their original positions as if turning back time, and at the same time try to pull the three people together once again.

＂What on earth is this…!＂

In an unsolvable mystery, Nemeia lets out a scream-like sound and clings to the ground to avoid being dragged away.

The other two do the same, but it’s a bit difficult.

At that time, Uni on her black side looked at Uni on her white side.

“Hey! The white side! Take off your clothes!”

“What!? Why!? “

When the white Uni screamed in embarrassment at the black self who suddenly ordered her to take off her clothes.

“Look at your clothes!”

Then, among the clothes Yuni is wearing, there is a part of the skirt.

The part where the ‘cleaver’s clone’s blood’ was stained.

It was fluttering, defying her gravity, as if being pulled by her pull.

＂!＂

“That guy isn’t pulling ‘us’!”

And Black Uni will also take off her blood-stained clothes and throw them away.

Then, her body becomes even more free from gravity than before.

Seeing that, Yuni blushed a little and took off the white dress she was wearing.

“What’s pulling us in is… His blood on us… I thought his regeneration had changed a bit since that kitchen knife started emitting a strange light.”

The black uni will talk like that and gnash its teeth.

Likewise, Nemeia, seeing the blood on her clothes, tears them off.

As a result, she, who was wearing a slightly wild outfit, was able to withstand her manpower with her own strength, and was standing on the ground looking at her cleaver’s clone.

As her cast-off clothes flew toward her, her cleaver’s clone swung the knife in her hand two or three times, completely tearing off her clothes.

“Oh, you’re not coming to be eaten anymore?”

＂You pulled it in…! This guy seems crazy with his greed…!”

She spoke in a way that seemed regretful, and I couldn’t tell if she was playing it off or if she really didn’t know.

As if she was tired of her, Meia spoke.

“What’s wrong with gluttony? Everyone has to eat to live. I don’t know about free people like you, but ever since I was born, I’ve been breathing culture fluids into my stomach, intestines, and lungs that I don’t even want to eat.”

As she said that, she stroked her stomach with her hand again.

That act reminded people of the self-harm show from earlier and made people flinch.

However, this time, the clone of the kitchen knife tilted her head without stabbing her in the stomach with the kitchen knife.

“But. Maybe it was the handshake that made him take off his clothes? Next time my blood is sprinkled… I might have to rip off the skin this time?”

＂…＂

The three people must have looked nervous at her words.

It’s just as she said.

You can’t kill her with a single blow, and even if you want to distance yourself from her, what should you do when she cuts herself and splatters her blood?

When even the black uni, who has the style of a trickster, is not willing to give a proper answer.

Wow…

＂Huh…!＂

Uni on the white side trembled loudly, covering her shoulders with both of her hands.

＂Why… Wow!＂

The black uni will also feel something and have the same reaction.

Nemeia didn’t go that far, but she could understand why those two people behaved like that.

I can feel the unusual chill from behind.

And the intense magical pressure that causes tension, enough to make your heart beat loudly.

＂… All three people. You did a good job.”

When they hear her reassuring voice, they feel a sense of relief that she is on their side, even though they have only met her not long ago.

＂…? Oh, just a little while ago, it looked like a weasel… But now, all that’s left is a little tail?”

And, the cleaver’s clone asked calmly, as if he still had trouble understanding the situation.

Cheolgrug, Cheolgrug.

The resonating sound of metal colliding and shaking.

After passing the Unis, blocking Nemeia’s path, he finally returned to the kitchen knife’s clone.

A beautiful female knight radiating freezing cold from her entire body and holding an icebreaking sword in her hand.

Melusine, the strongest knight in Fairy Village and the queen’s bodyguard.

Finally, after almost completely returning to her original form as Bavanshi, she was able to regain her ice magic.

When the wings of her magic flutter from the armor she wears, or something like silk sways behind her.

She realizes that the being has a beauty that is too complete for a human, and it is also conveyed to Nemeia and the two Yuni that she is not a human, but something else.

“Ice…? Ah! I heard there is food that you eat by pouring syrup on crushed ice! I wanted to try that!”

The clone, who judges everything based on her appetite, sparkled her eyes as she said that.

He grabbed his own hand and stabbed it with a kitchen knife…

She clenched her fist and swung her arm strongly towards Melusine.

Then, the ‘blood’ that had gathered in her fist would fly towards her.

I guess he was thinking of using this to attract her to him this time.
＂… In front of me, a tactic using liquid…＂

Melusine said and lightly swung her hand that was not holding her sword.

All of her blood flying towards us will freeze in the air and fall on her ground.

The blood scattered like that will not be absorbed into the body of the original owner, the clone, until it melts.

＂Huh?＂

And the next moment.

To think that Meluzin disappeared while the cleaver’s clone ‘blinked’ her eyes.

Before she knew it, Melusine was standing next to her.

＂Already?!＂

When she turned her head towards her Melusine in confusion.

“What’s the matter? I came to you because you wanted me to come to you.”

Melusin spoke in a voice so humane that it felt somewhat kind.

It was her clone who tried to wield her kitchen knife.

Jeok, Jeok…!

The sound she was making and the sight of her own ‘shoulder’ being ‘cut’ and frozen meant that she was slow in tempo.

What was lying on the ground was the part where she held and swung her kitchen knife.

＂!?＂

Cleaver’s clone would step back from her in surprise.

The knife fell off along with the ‘arm’, but there is no problem.

Play again-

＂Uh, huh? Why? “No?”

Clones, even if you try to regenerate cells from the frozen area-

Because the temperature was so low, the wound would necrosis and regenerate repeatedly, making it impossible to grow a new arm.

That’s why she-

She made a fist with her other hand, slamming it into her frozen area, trying to break the ice from her wound.

But that would take too long.

＇Chin＇

＂Ah.＂

Something cold was placed on her own forehead.

That’s a sharp object-

She realizes that it is Melusin’s ice sword.

It happened almost immediately that her head was pierced from the forehead without any resistance.

Without any resistance, as if it was a doll.

The sharp sword pierced her head.

Not even blood flows out.

Because the wound froze from the part it touched.

“Ah. Ah. Ah.”

The brain, frozen by the ice, sends the last command it received over and over again to the body, a clone of a kitchen knife spitting out words like a broken tape.”

The voice continued until the ice that started in my head spread throughout my body.

Melusine brought her kitchen knife, an artificial holy sword, that she had picked up earlier, to her frozen head.

With a tap, I let go of her hand. An artificial holy sword that falls like a guillotine.

And the moment it touched the top of her head.

With gold spreading throughout her body, her frozen body was shattered into pieces.

＂…＂

The blue eyes, seeing the clone collapsing like that, looked down at the ‘former human’ that had been reduced to crumbs, without showing any emotion.

Finally, when the holy sword of the kitchen knife breaks as if it has done its job.

On the spot, the scattered ‘debris’ disappeared.

＂Go, strong…＂

Seeing that, someone from the expedition team spoke.

When Melusine heard that voice, she would look back and smile.

“That’s right. Because I am the strongest knight in Fairy Village.”

Her voice was filled with relief that she had finally protected someone from the enemy.
