## Chapter 1258 – Savior of Hell

Of course, I don’t give a damn whether this bastard gets stronger or not.

This Kim Gatt is a man who knows no defeat. A veteran warrior who triumphs in every battle, a war hero of the ages. And a mathematician, at that.

There’s no way I, of all people, would lose to some mere demon.

I know this guy has been killing the heroes who’ve invaded Pandemonium so far, but those guys were clearly just a bunch of chumps anyway. He’s just bullying weak children and acting all high and mighty.

“Heh heh heh, I sense quite a formidable power.”

What I sense is indeed a formidable power.

The total amount of power is higher than mine. He seemed about equal to me earlier. But now it’s amplified more than twice as much. He’s clearly released the limiter he had on. If that’s the case, then there must be a restriction.

With cold judgment and superhuman observation, I read his movements.

“Is that your best?”
“I have no reason to answer.”
“Well, aren’t you an unsociable bastard.”
“…”

—Thud, thud.

The wingless bastard started walking towards me slowly.

Fortress.

What I feel from his gait. To put it into perspective, it’s a truly inhuman “fortress.” A fortress that’s most powerfully fortified without any gaps whatsoever. And a damn strong fortress that can open its gates at any time and spew out cavalry. It’s practically Fortress Gunpowder.

Yeah.

I’ll admit he’s strong.

But you can’t beat me.

“Gatt-nim, that bastard looks damn strong!”
“What about me in Hilde’s eyes?”
“You’re even stronger than that! As long as you don’t dance, you’ll definitely win!”

She must be really worried about my dance… Why doesn’t she understand that it’s not some hideous dance, but a combat dance?

I need a Claudia who affirms everything about me!

“The more you say that, the more I want to show you a dance and win!”
“Gatt-nim, if you keep doing that, I’ll confiscate your vajayjay!”
“Wh-whaaat!”

What did you say!

“No vajayjay!”
“Aaaaaaaah!! Nooooo!!!”
“If you don’t want your vajayjay confiscated, you better do it right!”
“Yes! I understand!”

The dance will have to wait!
From now on, it’s the damn strong Super Manager Kim Gatt launching!

“Anyway, Hilde! Whatever happens, just stay behind me!”
“Yes!”

A fierce battle is expected.

But even in the midst of that, covering Hilde is a piece of cake. This absurd man, Kim Gatt, is capable of it.

—Thud.

The Guardian who was walking stopped in front of me.

“…”

That still empty, ghost-like face. It’s extremely unpleasant. Since he has no expression, it’s hard to know what he’s thinking.

And.

「—Paaaaaaang!!!」

The Thousand Demon Shattering Strike is fired, shattering the space itself. The fist of destruction that flew suddenly with extreme acceleration at point-blank range.

—Thwack!

It was caught in his grasp.

“…”

The Guardian, as if it were nothing. With just a quiet attitude, he used only the minimum amount of movement to catch my Thousand Demon Shattering Strike without any impact.

“Is that all you’ve got?”
“Thousand Demon Divine Art.”

In that state.

“Thousand Demon Obliteration Orb.”

I create a Thousand Demon Obliteration Orb inside the clenched fist. Originally, this is a technique where you spread your palm wide and then float a sphere on top of it. But what if you cast it with your fist clenched like this?

—Purrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

An intense explosion.

At the same time as the cast, the Thousand Demon Obliteration Orb, unable to withstand the pressure of my fist, exploded very powerfully. It’s an application of the technique. It’s also possible to immediately explode the Obliteration Orb created inside the fist like this.

A flash of light flickered and a storm arose, and in that blurred vision, I could see the Guardian stepping back with his arms crossed.

This bastard took a direct hit.
Is that all you’ve got?

“That was a feint, you idiot.”

The first hit was just a feint.
And this bastard was trying to act cool without even knowing it?

—Swoosh!

While managing the explosion, I charge the opposite fist. What I put into that fist is the essence of the Zealot. The Thousand Demon Shattering Strike with the ultimate penetrating power that pierced through the Colossus in one shot! I complete all preparations in just one second and fire it.

「—Paaang!!!!」

My immense power, concentrated at one point, is fired, piercing through space. Checking the field of vision, calculating the trajectory, and the Thousand Demon Shattering Strike, aiming for the bastard’s crossed forearms, accurately hits.

—Crack!!!

It’s embedded in the center of the crossed forearms. Embedded? That’s wrong.

“No way…!”

My fist pierced through the bastard’s crossed forearms and went through.

I know that this bastard’s total amount of power is great. But no matter how big a balloon is, if it’s pierced by a needle made of steel, it will burst in vain.

For me, who has awakened the method of `concentrating immense power at one point`, fighting an existence whose total amount of power is greater than mine is not a big problem.

This is simply a matter of skill.

Can a bodybuilder who only builds muscle beat a professional fighter? No. The power is immense, but if the skill is lacking, they will lose.

This Kim Gatt is a man who has honed his `skill` even before obtaining this superhuman power.

This essence of the Zealot decides the outcome of the fight with this bastard.

“This.”

My fist pierced through both of the bastard’s arms and continued to advance endlessly.

“Is this the end?”
“Kuh…!”

In this state, the bastard’s arms are sealed. With a steel stake embedded between his crossed arms, how can he move?

—Boom!!

The fist that advanced in that way struck the upper part of his solar plexus. “Wilderness Blood Jade Hand.” Immediately spreading my palm, I grabbed the Guardian’s neck as it was, squeezed it, and lifted him up.

“More than the heroes of the past.”
“…!”

Because he was about the same height as me, the bastard was lifted up in vain. Of course, he’s not just standing still. Like a freshly caught big fish, the bastard is thrashing around like crazy.

—Pow!
—Kugugugugung!!

He strikes my torso with his knee raised.

—Twakakakakakakang!!!

That knee is embedded in my abdomen.

The movement is small, but the power is intense. After all, he’s also a bastard who can use his transcendent power to accelerate to the maximum at zero distance. That damn strong knee strike flies in continuously.

—Kugugugung!!

The earth shakes from the impact.

Ah, damn, I feel like I’m going to throw up… Can I endure it? My insides are whimpering, but I somehow concentrate my strength to create a strong aura and defend against the attack.

“…Didn’t you say that my ability to handle power is even stronger? But it seems like you didn’t prepare at all, foolish Guardian.”

—Crack!

Bulging blood vessels rise on the bastard’s empty face. This bastard seems genuinely pissed, —Kwaaaang!! Indeed, he’s even more pissed, and strength enters the bastard’s knee, aaaaaaack! Damn, I feel like I’m going to throw up!!!

“Kuhak! Ah, you bastard, stop screwing around with your knee!!!! Kkieeeeeeeeeeek!!”

While squeezing the bastard’s neck, I deploy the Thousand Demon Obliteration Orb!

「—Kwaaaang!!!!」

The grabbed neck explodes. A series of attacks from Wilderness Blood Jade Hand to Thousand Demon Obliteration Orb. I was hoping that the explosion would completely tear off his neck.

The neck wasn’t torn off.

—Boom!

“Keuh!”

The bastard’s knee strike was still flying into my abdomen…!
This damn bastard!

“You’re dead, you son of a bitch!!”

Pulling the hand that grabbed his neck, I fire the opposite fist and strike the bastard’s face!

—Kwang!
—Boom!!!

“Thousand Demon Shattering Strike! Thousand Demon Shattering Strike! Thousand Demon Shattering Strike! This Thousand Demon Shattering Strike, you son of a bitch!!!”
“Glurrrp!!!”

The bastard’s face, which is being hit, is being crushed in real time and starting to turn red! —Crack! At the same time, blood vessels rise on that face to a disgusting degree. Like hundreds of thick earthworms crawling under the bastard’s facial skin!

“Ggrlp!”

—Kwang!!
—Kwaaaaang!

The bastard thrashed around even more and struck my abdomen with his knee, and I also struck the bastard’s face countless times with my fist!

“Die! Die, you bastard! Where the hell did you learn to fight like this, using only such cowardly tactics!”
“Kkeuek…!”

This bastard can’t even talk!
If he had eyes, I would have gouged them out!

“This is the end!!!!”

I’ll just grab his head and pull it off with force! I add strength to the hand that’s still grabbing the bastard’s neck. And grab the bastard’s face with the opposite hand.

“Tsuooooooooooop!!!”

I pull up and down very powerfully!!!

—Crack!
—Kkudeudeudeudeuk!!

An ominous sound echoes and the bastard’s neck is seen being torn off. —Brrrr! From this point on, the bastard couldn’t knee strike anymore. Wow, really. I’m going to have to throw up blood as soon as I go outside, you son of a bitch!

And.

—Budeudeudeudeuk!!

“Dejaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!”

The bastard’s head and neck were separated. Of course, it’s not something that can be neatly ended with the word separated. Bones and muscles. It was completely torn off and pulled out.

I roared, holding the bastard’s neck and torso in my right hand. And the head in my left hand.

“You acted all cool, but in the end, it turned out like this!”

There was a result of deliberately taking the knee strikes to give him a series of punches so that he couldn’t escape. What’s the point of having a lot of power? In the end, that power is bound to be affected by the skill and proficiency of the person who wields it.

“Even if you have infinite energy, if you don’t have the ability to discharge it all at once, you’ll just get your ass kicked.”

I said that to the Guardian.

—Pshoo.

The bastard just answered by spitting out blood from his torn neck once.

“Yay! Gatt-nim won!”

Hilde cheered from behind.
Compared to the bastard’s strength, it was a bit easy to win.

“Please finish him off quickly!”
“I was going to do that anyway.”

—Kwang!

I slammed the bastard’s torso to the ground as it was. The corpse of the headless bastard was completely limp. Putting the head on top of that solar plexus, and just as I was about to stomp on it with the Thousand Demon Overlord’s Gait.

—Squirm, squirm.

Suddenly, the bastard’s body started squirming like crazy, aaaaaaack!!

“What is this, aaaaaaaat!!!! Disgusting, ooooooooot!!!”

The moment I stomped on it with the Thousand Demon Overlord’s Gait!!

—Kwaaaang!!!

“Wh-what!!!”

As if vomiting.

—Glurk!!

No… As if a rat was giving birth to babies or a snake was laying eggs. No. That’s not it either. This is… yeah. Like a Namekian giving birth to an egg from his mouth.

—Splaash!!

From the bastard’s neck, which had become empty after the head was torn off!!!

“Uaaaaaaaaaack!!!”

A smaller Guardian was spewed out in a crouched position like a fetus!!!!!!! I had no choice but to scream and tear at my hair!!! This bastard!!! This bastarddddddddddd!!! It’s soaked in black amniotic fluid like a newborn baby!!! And it’s crouching like a fetus, aaaaaaaat!!!!!

“Ooho!! Ooho! Ooho! Ooho! Oohohoho!!”

Lowering my posture, I had no choice but to howl like a monkey and jump around!!!

“Miyooooooooooooooooong!!!”

After witnessing the insane sight, I couldn’t maintain my sanity anymore! It felt like my mentality had been shattered! Even with superhuman mental strength, I couldn’t endure it, ooooooooot!!!! This is a birth that blasphemes God!!!!

“Saaaaaave meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”

I feel like I’m going crazy!!! I feel like I’m really going to go crazy! I felt like I couldn’t recognize the situation in front of me at all!!! This bastard!!! He just laid an egg from his neck! What the hell is this! What the hell is this!!!

Did he have a uterus in his neck! Was this bastard a female!!!

“K, k, kkakakakakak Gatt-nim!!! Cccccalm dooooown, kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!”

Hilde started screaming and running around like crazy! Like an insect that has lost its antennae and lost its sense of direction, she’s running around in circles!!! With her arms raised like Spongebob!!

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!”
“This kind of thing!!!!!!! Is not real!!!!!!!!”

Inhuman!!!!!! Enemy!!!!!

Even so.

—Kyaaaaaaack!!

Hilde’s shrill scream spreads out and pulls me back to reality.

—Thud.

I step on the ground and stabilize my mind.
I can’t lose my mind even after hearing my woman’s scream.

—Flash!

Right then, the crouching guy opened his “eyes.” No? Wait a minute. This bastard’s appearance had changed.

I could tell instinctively.

This bastard didn’t lay an egg.

—It’s the bastard himself.

“…”

The guy had eyes, nose, mouth, and face.
He’s glaring at me with those empty eyes.

“Th-this bastard… Is he a Matryoshka doll? If I keep pulling him out and pulling him out, will a smaller one keep coming out?”

Could it be that if I kill him again, another guy will come out from inside?

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!”

Hilde was still screaming.
