Chapter 142 – 142. To the Beast’s Den (4)
Grumbling-!!!
The acrid smell of burning flesh.
And the smell of the flesh is blown away with the power of the wind.
And the smoke and ash disappeared with the wind.
Once it was gone, the original wall of the underground waterway was revealed.
I have no complaints about cleaning the drain.
I was heading towards my mother, bursting with flames that were burning the sewer and the walls.
And every time I burned through the six walls with that flame, I was able to understand the identity of this power flowing into me.
As I burn this away, I am trying to take away my mother’s power and absorb it.
And rather than absorbing this power right away, it is immediately stored in one place.
Where is this power stored up?
And the question of where they are stored.
Naturally, I’m saving it for Shogus and Carol, who I’m paying for and holding in my hand.
“Are you absorbing power well, Carol?”
-…Can I take this?
“My combat power is made up of combat skills and accumulated knowledge and experience. I don’t absorb power from unknown sources. Especially in a place like this, if I just eat anything, I get an upset stomach.”
“Can I give that to Carol?”
Lucy asks me.
Lucy also called Carol Shogus at first, but when I corrected her by saying Carol Line, Carol, she only seemed to accept it.
And I answered Lucy’s question.
Although it looked like a truly desirable energy on the outside, I had a strong feeling that I would be ruined if I absorbed it, and as a result, I prepared a countermeasure, which was filtration using Carol. Rather than saying she was prepared, Carol said she could reproduce the function I wanted, and I wondered if it would be filtered, but this is what happened.
“You’re not just picking it up from anywhere, Lucy.”
“…I, Levatein’s Flame, enjoyed it.”
And as proof, Lucy can emit that hot flame from her mouth. He says I could do it like he did, but there’s no need to take the risk.
There is a more reliable solution, but if you get caught up in it right now, you’re bound to get an upset stomach.
We’re almost at the end.
Just one step to kick the damn son of a bitch who tried to steal my damn mother and someone else’s woman.
My older sisters, Elizabeth and Nia, are in the rear. And at the front are me, Lucy, and Carol.
Of course, Carol was excluded because she couldn’t be considered a human being and had now turned into my weapon. And Lucy is standing next to me, her tail tightly wrapped around my waist, and Elizabeth’s harsh gaze is coming towards me from behind.
Huh.
-I will stand behind you with Elizabeth.
If it weren’t for her older sister who said that, Elizabeth probably would have tried with all her might to separate Lucy from me by now.
-So please don’t just move forward, okay?
After all, protecting the spell caster is the most basic thing.
Naturally, Elizabeth was the right candidate, and her sister’s judgment was correct.
Lucy worked with me to ignite the front with flames, while Elizabeth, Nia, and my older sister assisted from behind, and those sneaking up from behind were caught in spider webs and struggling, or Elizabeth cut down the fast monsters that broke through the blind spot with her sword.
Perhaps she believed in Elizabeth’s abilities, but her older sister did not respond in any particular way, and when she found that there were too many enemies, she burned them all with her blood flame and absorbed their blood.
In the meantime, the black energy that my sister filters out.
And although it seemed like a delicious energy to star beings, it felt like an extremely ominous force to my eyes now.
Therefore, I was storing it inside Carol and transforming it into a different energy through Carol.
To put it simply, they are using Carol as a filter.
You could say it’s harsh, but…
-Ha, hauuuuu of, this exhilarating feeling inside this body that can be felt while filtering out this power…Please do more, do more.
…As you can see, I am feeling this way and enjoying it.
Okay.
He is making such a point of indoctrination that it makes anyone who actually listens to him feel embarrassed.
And what’s more, I didn’t want to take a risk when I didn’t know what might happen if I absorbed it as is.
Intuitively, I thought this would be unpleasant and that it would be a sticky plan.
“Sister, this is quite unpleasant, isn’t it?”
“Well, those are quite unpleasant vibes. I didn’t tell you that you would figure it out right away.”
Of course. It’s not something you can’t understand, it’s a law that requires caution and protection for everything in enemy territory.
And this place is like my damn mother’s stomach.
Let me eat there! If you blindly absorb what is going around, you will be in big trouble.
Similar to this, there was a trap similar to this in the Demon World due to the trap set by Tio Gransha. To be precise, it caused mental confusion, but everyone was able to resist it except one, and that bitch knocked him out and dragged him around instead.
“Well, I can spit it out like this without being affected by it, but you better not absorb it, Clark.”
The older sister said as she looked at Carol, who was once again absorbing the energy that her older sister had spewed out in order to store it.
“…This has something to do with the reason your skin is black.”
“…I guess that’s a good thing.”
“And what if she was able to change her skin color at will? And what if it was her handiwork that made you born with black skin?”
“Not really.”
The time to be angry about it is already past.
I’ve already met all kinds of human beings until I’m sick of them, and I’m sure I’ll meet more trash in the future.
“If you think about the fact that people who make fun of people with dark skin are abusive because they don’t have dark skin, the people who want to criticize me in the first place make up reasons to criticize me. So, you gave those bastards a reason to be afraid of me, right? Noona. As you know.”
“…Really, it’s a problem if you grow up too early. Clark, I want you to find out about this and pamper me by pampering me, saying, ‘How could your mother do that?’
“Eung-ae, comfort me, Eung-ae.”
“What are you two doing in enemy territory in the first place?”
“Why~ Are you afraid there might be a problem while I’m here?”
No, it’s almost right around the corner.
That’s right, I’m finding a way with magic equipment that chases my flesh and blood, and I have to break through and destroy all the space distortions, and now I have to cut off that damn mother’s life, and I have to kill Pierre as well.
Naturally, my older sister smiled at Elizabeth with an expectant look on her face and said,
He turned to Elizabeth and spoke as the light in his eyes disappeared for a moment.
“…I will do the right thing by cutting off the dick of the son of a bitch who flirted with a married woman. You don’t have to worry, Elizabeth. Hehe, if you get in my way, I will really scold you. Do you understand?”
Really, my older sister seems really angry because of that.
…
Yes, if you tease the wrong person, you will be screwed, right?
After all, my older sister caught it.
Elizabeth hesitates under her sister’s oppressive gaze, but continues to say what she wanted to say. Why is she playing around like that?
“…We can cooperate as much as we can to kill a pervert like that, but what about Clark!”
“Well then, Elizabeth, why don’t you give me a hug too?”
“Hey, give me a hug.”
“…No, Clark, why are you messing around there again!”
“Hey-“
Too bad.
Of course, I wanted to be hugged by the warm hearts of my women here.
And I saw.
For a moment, Elizabeth was shaken.
Of course she refused like a sword, but in this respect she is just like me. Because it is clear that this is the way to make and break things.
“…I’ll do as much as I can later, so please focus for now, Clark. It’s not like I don’t want to hug you.”
…Well, that’s right.
And in the midst of all this, Lucy’s tail is tightly grasping my waist and pulling me towards her.
Although he has no expression, looking at him with such sullen eyes right now is proof that he is quite grumpy. Well, he always looked like this when he didn’t like something.
“Clarke, focus.”
…I wonder if he actually knows that he is not concentrating.
The monster that appeared in front of him by summoning the flame of the sun, a hideous monster with more than 10 eyes on the head of a crocodile, burned away in an instant. At the same time, Lucy also summoned the flame of Levatein and destroyed the crocodile monster that appeared in front of him. Screw it.
“Dude.”
…
Are you saying this because Anna is not there?
Although Anna has been correcting her speech in many ways, it has been like this for the past year she has been with me.
That’s why Mordred, who was with me, must have been so mean.
Meanwhile, Carol absorbed all the black energy.
He opens his mouth and spits out the remaining waste.
And the things that were vomited out had a bizarre appearance and were screaming.
Kyaaaaagh-!!! Kyaaaaa!!!!
Judging by the fact that the parasite-like bug with one large eye is crushed and crushed as soon as it jumps out onto the ground filled with magical power, it appears that it cannot survive without a protection system inside the magical energy of the material world.
That’s what these black energies are.
Of course, if I had just absorbed it, I would have been in big trouble.
I don’t know what it is, but it’s clear just by looking at it that it’s not good for my body.
“Do you know anything about this, Clark?”
“I don’t know, but I know it’s going to suck if I just absorb it.”
“…A year ago, it was just us.”
Elizabeth tries to react, as if she is bothered by Lucy’s monologue, but her older sister holds her shoulder tightly.
Okay.
Kuuk-
It’s very loud.
“What is it, aren’t you letting go of this?”
“Why, isn’t it good~? Did I tell you? The condition for accepting you… Hehe- As a condition for accepting you, I will accept it unconditionally as long as the others also genuinely love Clark.”
“…I wasn’t making that promise. Phew-“
Because a promise is a promise, Elizabeth also gives up and retreats. Lucy feels nervous right now, and she feels urgent because she knows that something is inherent in her, but she can’t use her strength properly.
And this is why he wants to be confirmed that he loves me.
“…Clarke, you won’t abandon me, right?”
“I won’t throw it away. I, Geumtaeyang, will always keep what I say.”
I look at Elizabeth. Of course you don’t die. I said I would definitely save Elizabeth, so I saved her. She survived and is by her side.
Tossing it away because it is weak.
Until now, I have never once thrown away something because it was useless or weak.
It’s just that I was afraid she would get hurt by staying with me, so I tried to pull her away, but she clung to me.
And I accepted her heart, and now Elizabeth is by my side.
Same thing.
If Lucy wanted to leave, I would let her go, but if she didn’t and stayed with me.
I will do my best for Lucy if she stays by my side.
If she wants to be strong and help me, I will find that way and present it to her.
“…So, I won’t abandon you, Lucy. I know what you’re anxious about. If you want to become stronger, I will do my best to help you. I told you to Mordred, right? I will take responsibility for you until the end. “
“…Yes. I promised Uncle Mordred, Clark.”
Of course.
He risked his life and gave me a chance to escape.
He ran away from King Arthur, defeated Lancelot with Lucy, and managed to break through the Camelot army and arrive at Magia.
Lucy helped me, and because of her, I was able to return to Magia without her life.
“Now it’s my turn to embrace you, Lucy.”
“…Are you going to hug me?”
Hug me.
…
“More than that, Lucy, aren’t you an adult yet?”
“The body is that of an adult.”
“…No, you’re not even 20 yet.”
“If you are over 18, you are an adult.”
Dick once said,
You have to be over 20 to be considered an adult.
However, if you ask whether he can fulfill the responsibilities of an adult, he is at an awkward age.
Naturally, I used to criticize many kangaroo babies, but that doesn’t apply to me, who learned to take responsibility and clean up after others at a young age.
“In the first place, Lucy, why do you insist that you are an adult at the age of 18?”
“I also want to be hugged by Clark. I deserve it. That’s right.”
“…”
“Mira, and Elizabeth. Anna, just these three can keep having fun. It’s too much to not be able to hug each other just because one year is not enough. There are still over 332 days left.”
Did he speak so well?
No, are you counting them all before that?
“If you do it the Elcadia way…Clarke can hug me and turn me into a woman. Huhuhuhu, yes, that’s right. Please don’t reject that, Clark.”
For a moment, Lucy was talking to me with dead eyes. The force of the tail wrapping around my waist becomes stronger. Naturally, my sister just looked at it and smiled.
I don’t even try to stop this, I just enjoy watching it.
“…I guess we’ll have to talk about this again sometime.”
If I continue talking here and now, there is someone waiting ahead.
And I’m right in front of the underground water.
And I was able to find a boy with purple hair floating in the middle of the filter where a lot of waste was collected.
And I knew that this was an unusual anomaly, and at the same time that we, no-
I knew he was the guy I was looking for to kill half of him.
Okay.
That’s it.
If only the light wasn’t shining in his eyes.
“We’ve finally arrived. Golden Sun.”
And it speaks to me in a strangely trembling voice.
And at the same time, the sound of a huge number of monsters wailing can be heard from behind.
“…Hmm.”
It’s a back and forth attack.
“Sister, can you give me 10 minutes?”
“…Can you handle that thing alone?”
My sister asks worriedly.
Naturally, I was able to intuit what that thing was.
And that thing in front of me is Luffy, who took that kid’s body and is now possessed in front of me.
And not only that, but there is also a guy hiding somewhere right now waiting for me to pounce.
What is it,
Dick once told me something.
Maybe it was this?
-If you look closely, there is someone who will never work with this guy.
-What, is there such a bastard? Have you never tried it before?
-Shouldn’t you try dipping the poop in soybean paste?
-Why is it necessary to do that as a teacher? Then, the students who came to learn will have to try dipping it in poop or soybean paste to find out. Isn’t it natural to know something only if you teach it?
-…Oh, is that so? Okay, well, let’s say that’s the case. But really, with this guy, one of you has to make a life-or-death decision. There is someone who feels that way.
-No, it’s not like you’re being wary of a blond tanned gangster like me, is there such a thing?
-…You’ll know when you see it. And when you see those bastards, isn’t there only one thing to do? They’re bastards who will treat you like shit for no reason, and even if there is a reason, they won’t tell you and treat you like shit, so you need to come up with a reason for being shitty too, right?
I had a story like this.
And it seems like that’s exactly the case now.
Just looking at him makes me feel dirty.
Even if the kid named Luffy was anything to go by, the being that descended on that body was clearly showing a presence that was uncomfortable to look at.
And my intuition tells me that I have to do my best here.
And-
It looks at me and immediately creates a flame in its hand.
A brilliant spark of sunlight.
Sun sparkle.
It looks like he is showing off as if he is proud.
Wow.
Why do these reincarnated bastards like to take things from others so much?
“Is this the power you use, Golden Sun?”
“Clarke, is that!?”
And Elizabeth reacts to that, but as soon as she can, Nia breaks through her web from behind and confronts the incoming monsters.
Elizabeth can’t be wrong.
That’s because it was my trademark trademark that I saw in front of her while I was with her for the past five years. Of course, I knew it well, and the composition and technique were so similar that it was difficult for me to break them.
The names of the monsters with wings and horns who cut the spider webs in the passageway to the underground waterway, and then got caught in the webs, were cut off, smashed them, and pounced on them as the webs cut them, shattered them, and fell into the water.
Their name is Nightgaunt.
Human body, bat wings. Dull skin, horns, devil-like appearance. There are monsters that attack, armed with bald heads and thorny tails, without any facial features.
My sister looked at them and immediately said to Elizabeth.
“If I use my power here, it will pose a great threat to Clark, Elizabeth. I will focus only on support and assisting in the fight. I will join the battle with the power borrowed from Clark. It is copying Clark’s power. Not only that, but it also has its own power. This power can also be copied.”
“…What kind of nonsense is that?”
“In one word, he is my [Doppelganger].”
“Doppelgänger, you compare me to such a shabby monster. I am not your doppelgänger, Geumtaeyang. I am a being who will take everything from you and erase you from this world. My name… What? !?”
What, why did you play alone and fall asleep?
And he can’t even say his own name.
Is this bastard Jeong Jung?
Even if I try to name him, I can’t name him. He’s not some bastard who can’t even call his father his father.
“…What on earth are you? How could a bastard like you end up here-“
And he’s saying that to me, but just by looking at him, I can see that he was looking at me like a dick and that he was looking at me like a bully.
And I really hate people who look at me like a bully.
Just like this.
“It’s your baby, baby.”
Naturally, that’s all I have to say.
There was a time when I was jealous of Elizabeth.
Well, when the doppelganger appeared in the form of Elizabeth, she remembers fighting with excitement as she watched Elizabeth copy her own swordsmanship.
To the extent that for the first time in my life, I thought something like this was possible with a sword and came to respect knights for the first time.
And I felt that Elizabeth was amazing as she broke through her own limitations by unleashing her skills to no end.
As Elizabeth once said, fighting her doppelganger was fun.
That’s how strong she is in herself. And she is perfect for testing whether or not she can break her current self.
And my solar spark explodes, and at the same time, the little boy’s solar spark is swallowed up.
And then, as if waiting, an angel spread its black wings and attacked from the ceiling, covered in pieces of meat here and there.
No, should I say fallen angel.
It’s attacking me and Lucy protects me from it.
Kaaaaa!!
A spear clashing with a great sword.
And it was shooting a spear with a great bow, and Lucy lightly flicked the spear away and faced it with the Flame of Levitain enchanted on her sword.
“Ah, ahhh…Ahhh-“
I’m trying to say something, but I see magical threads being connected as if I’m being controlled by that kid. A fallen angel.
However, the reason he has such powerful power is that he is at least the level of a reverse angel.
Hmm.
Well, that’s probably good.
And I said, looking at the boy’s dumbfounded face as he saw his solar spark shattered by mine.
“You really can’t use magic.”
And while Elizabeth was excited and fought against it, I couldn’t help but be ‘disappointed’ again when I saw the imitators who had stolen what was mine.
That’s right, its power was undoubtedly the same as the solar flame I was using just a moment ago, but that’s it.
Naturally, I confirmed that the solar flame magic spell copied from me just now was the same.
As it was, it destroyed the solar flame copied from me with its higher enhanced version.
“Try it again. A proper sunfire, if you can copy my magical knowledge.”
“…”
“You can’t do it?”
Naturally, I was disappointed.
That’s right, is there really someone who can come after my magical knowledge?
And can we talk seriously about it?
And with that, can I overcome my own limitations again?
That’s why I missed my father’s absence so much.
…
Tsk.
“You idiot. Once imitation is the end, I have nothing more to do with you.”
Kwaaaaa-!!!
And only then does it stop copying my power, and explosive destructive power begins to burst forth from it.
A powerful ability of space cutting and space distortion begins to unfold in my hands, and I defend against it with magic equipment.
Clink-
“Oh.”
And the equipment broke.
It is a device that nullifies space distortion and cutting, and having this power means that it also copies my mother’s power.
And when the equipment that suppressed the spatial distortion cracked, and when the spatial distortion occurred between us and tried to separate us, I took out another equipment.
More powerful spatial distortion suppression equipment than before.
And just like a lie, the space distortion phenomenon has decreased, and this mimic uses his mother’s power.
I named it Faker and spoke to it.
“Is there anything else? Faker?”
“…You-“
“Is the stored ability enough? Take out all the powers and abilities you copied and attack them. If you don’t take them out quickly, I’ll kill you right here and break the pot. You’re not having as much fun as you thought, so I think it would be quicker if you just broke the pot here. .”
“…”
It appears to be trembling. Of course, I don’t know why it’s like that.
There must have been a reason why he attacked me with such vigor, and of course he must have had the confidence to deal with me, but why on earth is he so out of control here?
At most, it seems that what the person is using as a long-term possession can be taken away or transferred.
First of all, there is no way I can take this from my mother, and it also means that she stole it from me.
Naturally, it seems that the trigger is something that takes away my power and corresponds to my power.
And finally, true power begins to be released from its body.
The option of killing me with the same power as mine was blocked, and my sister, Nia, and Elizabeth were dealing with the Night Gaunts coming from behind.
The only ones who can deal with those two right now are me and Lucy.
And in that little boy’s hand, the morning star.
I’m going to fall in love!!!
And then, lightning began to blow.
“Don’t look at me like water!!!”
And I reached out for it.
Hmm.
Okay.
It’s a robbery.
Is this how you use it in times like this?
And finally.
“…Uh?”
Lightning strike,
It was in my hand, and I held it up and said,
“Let’s take a look at your abilities.”
Ah, is this how you use it?
