Chapter 71 - It Was Demon Sword

Chapter 71: It Was Demon Sword

===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===

…What should I do now?

My brain cells were operating at their maximum capacity.

I mean, I managed to throw these three adventurers out of the city, but…

Now I was the one who felt troubled.

I… didn’t know what to do from this point onward.

Was I going to scold them for recklessly trying to fight right in the middle of the city?

That was impossible.

Like hell someone with an abysmal communication disorder like me could scold strangers like them.

…Or should I just grant their wish to fight me?

I did say 「If it’s fight that you want, let’s do it outside.」 to them before I threw them outside of the city, I had no intention to bully the weak.

“

And even if I did fight them, I had to hold back in order to not kill them by accident.

…How troublesome.

「ORAAAAAAAAAA!」

「HAAAAH!」

The attack came from the front while I was pondering about that.

「This ba*stard, ain’t he too tough?!」

「Is this an illusion and we are actually attacking empty air?」

Well, not that their attacks were gonna work on me though.

Illusion? What the hell were these idiots talking about?

Anyhow, after seeing what they were trying to do, I concluded that it should be okay as long as I showed them the gap between our strengths.

Yup, it was easier than I thought.

So I focused my mana into my fist to give a sma~ll punishment to these naughty adventurers.

And then, I nailed my fist right into the ground beneath me.

ZUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

The ground collapsed upon receiving my punch, creating a giant crater with me in its center.

Moreover, the spider-web-like cracks resulting from my attack spread all the way for as far as I could see.

「「「W-W-W-W-WUT!」」」

Did I just… overdo it?

Color drained from those adventurers’ faces, and they were clearly scared shitless right now.

And the worst one amongst them was the youth in robes.

「N-No… S-Stop it…. S-S-Shave myee… I-I-I don’t want to dyee…」

His teeth clattering nonstop, his face was a sobbing mess of saliva and nasal mucus.

N-Not that I wanted to kill you, but…

Moreover, the wet stain on his crotch got bigger and bigger.

Even though I only wanted to give them a small warning, they still ended up scared shitless of me.

…Well, I guess it was time to take my leave.

And then, just when I was about to turn around and leave that place.

「Eh?」

My surroundings dimmed, and I realized what was wrong with that situation the moment I raised my head.

A giant object, more than five meters long, was falling from the sky right on top of me.

「A… Sword?!」

Upon closer inspection, I realized that it looked like a sword.

But its size was on a whole other level.

It fell right on top of me at tremendous speed.

Though it took me a fraction of a second to notice the identity of the falling object, it was already too late for me to dodge it.

The moment I thought it was gonna crash on me, the sword stabbed into the ground.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

◇◇◇

===A Certain Over Imaginative Silver-Rank Adventurer===

The shock caused by the fallen sword was at least comparable to the shock of No Life King’s strike from a while ago.

Just when I thought that our bodies were gonna spring up like bouncing balls due to the tremor caused by the fallen sword, we got blasted back more than a dozen meters due to the impact of the attack.

「S… Sword?」

「What in the hell is this huge a*ss sword?!」

「T-That’s quite a spectacle…」

It was way too oversized to even call it a sword since it was simply impossible to wield.

Its length might be around five meters.

It was as if that sword was made to be wielded by a giant, and since I couldn’t see the No Life King’s figure anywhere, I guess he got squashed beneath that giant sword.

「Good grief, you guys should thank me for saving your sorry lives, you know!」

「「「!!!」」」

At that moment, the three of us heard a voice coming from above.

Upon closer inspection, I found out that person was standing on top of the hilt of this giant sword.

It was a blond-haired youth.

He was someone around our age.

「Who threw that sword?」

「That man, why do I feel…?」

The man then jumped down from the hilt of the giant sword upon seeing the bewildered look on our face.

Since he could throw that giant five-meter sword, he was definitely not your average Joe.

「But well, I managed to kill the No Life King since his attention was focused on you guys. As you can see, this sword’s destructive power is no joke, but it’s really hard to aim properly using this sword. And by the way, this sword is amongst the strongest one in my prided demon sword collection, 〝Titan Sword〟. It was sleeping in the deepest part of the nest of the giant race. Even someone as strong as me had a hard time getting this sword, you know.」

He then kept talking about his sword even without us asking for it with an affectionate smile on his face as he looked at that sword.

But thanks to that, I finally realized his identity.

「Y-You, could it be… Bilzes of 〝Demon Sword’s Eater〟…?」

「Oh, you know about me? Well that’s only natural, I’m a super famous person after all!」

Bilzes of 〝Demon Sword’s Eater〟 was a gold-rank adventurer.

Moreover, he was famous as someone closest to Orichalcum-rank amongst adventurers of our age.

The origin of his second name was his unique ability.

It was a cheat-like ability which allowed him to copy any demon sword he touched and manifest them at will.

It was rumored that he could use thousands of demon swords with that ability.

But to think that he could even wield such a gigantic sword like this one… Now I understood why people called him the closest one to Orichalcum-rank.

Even Ilran, who was quite confident with his physical strength, was left in shock upon seeing Bilzes’ overwhelming power.

「A-Are you kidding me…?」

And just when I thought about it, I realized that he was looking in another direction.

Eh… just what in the world was he looking at?

「…EH?!」

I followed Ilran’s line of sight and also ended up doubting what I saw.

I mean, I saw an arm stretching out―from beneath the tip of a giant sword that was pierced in the ground.

「Uhm? Is something the matter? Ah, are you moved to tears since you met such a famous person like me in person? Ahaha! If you want my autograph, now is the time, you know!」

「N-N-NO-」

「…No?」

「THE NO LIFE KING IS… CRAWLING OUT FROM THE GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUND?!」
