Chapter 96 – Breaking the Seal (6)
“You mean equipment? Why do you want that?”
The old wolf beast narrowed his eyes and asked me.
“Because we have a place to use it. After all, there’s no one here who can use that equipment properly, right?”
“Hmm… Are you saying that you are even heroes?”
I nodded.
“Can’t you tell just by looking at their strength? The only beings who have powers beyond your common sense are heroes. Even the elves you remember calling heroes would have reached this level.”
“…But I can’t hand it over to you.”
Contrary to what I thought would be an easy handing over, the old wolf beast rejected my offer.
“What do you mean? After all, we won the usurpation game and we are in a position to demand it. Please don’t force us.”
“But…”
While I was talking to the wolf beastman, I suddenly heard a loud noise.
“Aaaaah!”
Har Urf, who had been pinned against the wall by Ellie’s attack just now, was standing up and screaming as if he had come to his senses.
“There’s no way I could lose like this!”
Why are you doing that? I thought he was a decent person when I met Ellie, but now he is screaming with a very distorted expression.
“I need to gain strength, more strength. More strength!!!”
Har Urf, who was muttering to himself in anger, immediately ran somewhere.
“Why are you doing that? Even though you lost the match overwhelmingly, is that enough to react like that?”
I was even more embarrassed because the person suddenly reacted as if he had changed 180 degrees.
Just by looking at his facial expression, the otherwise gentle person looked as if he had gone crazy with madness.
The old wolf beastman who was talking to me did not respond even after hearing what I said, but just stared blankly at the direction Har Urf had run to.
“Har, what are you going to do?”
What kind of situation is this?
“Boss, boss!”
“Hmm? What’s wrong, Cherry?”
Suddenly Cherry called out to me, pulling my clothes, and I turned my head towards Cherry.
“Har Urf just ran away. But that was… The direction…”
What Cherry gave me, speaking slurred words, was the compass I got from Gaia this morning.
After receiving the compass that Cherry had given me, I looked at where the compass arrow was pointing and the direction was the same direction that Har Urf had just run to.
As people live, it’s not certain, but don’t they get a feeling?
It feels very cheap.
The direction Har Urf ran towards in anger just happened to be the same direction as the game item?
It also matches very precisely.
“Hey, why did that person run out just now?”
Feeling anxious, I asked the old wolf beast.
“I don’t know. But I know something is sinister.”
This prisoner seems to be feeling the same way as me.
“Then let’s chase after him. I also feel ominous. Let’s all chase after that guy!”
When I shouted, Yuria and Lien next to me stood up, and Ellie, Renia, and Noah, who were on the side of the stadium, immediately started chasing Har Urf.
“Cherry, stay safe just in case. I have a feeling that a pretty big battle might break out.”
“Oh, yes! I’ll hide, boss!”
After telling Cherry to hide in advance, the three of us ran out together, following the three who started first.
One thought that crossed my mind as I ran was the Void, that damn organization.
People in this world thought that the game items could not be used, but it was the Void organization that broke it.
They were very fucking bastards.
It appears out of nowhere and summons a void with a game item that I need to use.
As if that wasn’t enough, they are extremely vicious guys who fused with Void and fight against us and even get no compensation for defeating us.
But the direction in which Har Urf ran was the same as the direction where the game item was, which reminded me of Void running to use the game item.
I don’t want to be bothered by Boyd again.
We are also jumping over the walls and roofs to chase Har Urf, who was running over the walls and roofs.
Unfortunately, my skills were still lacking, so it was difficult to immediately follow Yuria and Lien’s speed.
As I fell behind, Yuria and Lien stopped and looked at me.
“Sir, I will carry you on my back.”
Lien, knowing that I was falling behind, came up to me and lifted me up.
“Please do me a favor, Lien.”
She was embarrassed because the position Lien was holding me in now was like a princess hugging position, but she thought it was better than being late.
Lien and Yuria, who held me, ran once again in the direction they had gone, and before I knew it, they were able to reach where the three people who ran first were standing.
I got out of Lien’s arms and stood up.
“Jinui… I’m sorry, but I think it’s late…”
When Ellie arrived, she looked at me and said in a bitter tone.
When I turned my gaze towards where Rhenia and Noah were looking, I saw Har Urf already curled up and trembling.
“It was already in that state when we arrived. We should have arrived sooner, I’m sorry. Jinu.”
“What on earth is this? You’re bigger than before.”
I observed Har Urf while listening to Renia and Noah.
The muscles in his body have definitely swelled up a lot, making his body much bigger than before.
I hope the cause of this drastic change is not related to Boyd.
“Ugh… AaaaaH!”
As if the change wasn’t over yet, Har Urf’s body was originally about 2 meters long, but now it has grown even larger, to the point where it seems to be about 3 meters long, and its right arm has become even more abnormally thick and long than it originally was.
Originally, the end of the arm would have reached about the waist of the body, but now Har Urf’s right arm has become long enough to be dragged on the ground.
“Ha… I think this is completely fused with Goliath?”
Har Urf’s current appearance was almost identical to that of Goliath.
A man with a huge body and one abnormally long and large arm.
The wolf-beast mixed in is what Har Urf looks like now.
“Hoo… Are you saying this is a fusion form with a demon? It’s really amazing that a human and a demon are mixed together. Will the strength become much stronger?”
Noah reacted violently to the person he saw for the first time, a person who had fused with a Demon, and began to prepare to attack him.
“Haha! Is this real power? I used to think I was strong, but now I feel like a fool! Even the four bitches who dared to defeat me are nothing now!”
My heart is rotting as I see this guy smiling happily alone.
“Ha… Are you Void again…?”
“Oh, do you know the Void? The beings who gave me this great power.”
Oh, I know it well.
You know it’s a shit organization.
“Ha… Jinu, I will handle it.”
Eli, as if he knew I was angry, stepped in front of Har Urf before I could say anything.
“Yes, you bitch. How dare you take me down with one blow. This is impossible.”
Har Urf took a fighting stance, raising her deformed and enlarged right arm as Ellie stepped in front of her.
“The only thing left for you is death!!”
Har Urf shouted loudly, clenched the fist of his raised right arm and rushed towards Eli at high speed.
“It’s meaningless.”
〈Divine Shield〉
Ellie lightly lifted her shield as if it was no big deal and put her divine power into the shield and collided with Harurf’s right fist.
Bang!
“Huh, why!?”
Har Urf seemed unable to believe the sight before him.
It was worth it.
This is because his own fist, which had become stronger by fusing with Demon, was blocked by Ellie’s shield very easily.
It wasn’t even pushed back at all.
“Har, what does that look like?”
When I heard the voice of an old wolf beast behind me, I turned around and saw that he had followed us with his family members.
“Do you know anything about that figure?”
“No, we have no idea.”
I wondered if these people were all related to Void, but looking at Har Urf’s surprised expression, I thought that was not the case.
I guess I’ll have to ask more questions later.
“This can’t be happening! Argh!”
Har Urf was shocked that his attack was blocked so easily and threw his fists at Ellie’s shield.
However, Ellie’s shield withstood Har Urf’s attacks without any hesitation.
If you think about it a little, it is obvious.
With my current Ellie specs, I have enough defense to block even one attack from Hydra, the level 95 raid boss I fought yesterday.
But is there any way that Har Urf’s attack fused with Goliath, the level 60 dungeon boss, would work?
Ellie began to channel divine power into her mace, which she held in her other hand, as she parried Harurf’s attacks.
“Now let’s get this over with.”
Ellie, who had been blocking Haruurf’s attack with her shield, just timed it as she was about to slam out her right fist, slamming it into her with her shield.
The moment Har Urf’s posture collapsed due to Eli’s counterattack, the mace containing Eli’s divine power swung towards Har Urf.
〈Divine Furnishment〉
Puff!
The moment Ellie’s mace collided with Hauruf’s body, it was instantly shattered and exploded, sending his upper body flying away without a trace.
“Hah… Even if you do this, there’s no fucking reward. There’s no equipment to use for summoning.”
Boyd, I really think we should deal with these bastards first.
“Well, do you have anything to say? About that guy.”
I pointed to the corpse of Har Urf, who was already fading into dust, to the surprised people standing behind us.
“It would be best to give a straight answer to my lord. Unless you want to die.”
Lien stood in front of me and spoke to the members of the Urf family with a scary expression on his face.
“Tsk, I thought it might be strong, but it wasn’t a big deal.”
“I guess it’s because he’s Goliath. If you think he’s fused with Hydra, it must have been quite difficult, right?”
In contrast to Lien, who is giving off a scary vibe, Renia and Noah are chatting behind me.
In a completely conflicting atmosphere, the people of the Urf family are unable to speak properly.
“Well, let me explain. We don’t know the details either.”
“Does that make sense? Didn’t you know that that beastman named Har Urf was going to do something when he ran by? Please explain what he did.”
When I saw the reaction just now, I thought there was no way he wouldn’t know.
Cherry says that the current nobles have maintained their positions for 10 years, but I am beginning to wonder if they are maintaining their current positions thanks to Boyd’s help just like before.
