Chapter 116: Tsunami [2]

Tada! Ttaa! Ttaa!Even a distance of several dozen meters was not a big problem. When I activate the heart of the beast, I gain superhuman physical abilities.

"Everyone, please pass this way!"

"Huh! Huh! Thank you. Huh? Your Excellency the Governor? Why are you in a place like this?"

"I'm busy, so ignore me even if I'm happy to see you! Your life comes first!"

"Oh, yes, yes!"

A few citizens recognized me, but I pushed them away. I was going to die from being swept away by that tsunami-like current, so where would I have time to even say hello?

So i connected the buildings with ladders and ropes, and i ended up with a pretty nice bridge. If i move slowly, i won't fall.

"Phew! That's enough. Let's see..."

The embankment had collapsed, but the flood preparedness was quite good.

Citizens were also evacuating in an orderly manner. It seemed like it would end without major casualties if the river water hadn't risen any further. Of course, the economic loss would be significant.

"That's interesting."

But then, from somewhere, Shuguri's voice was heard.

I glanced back and saw that the guy was clinging to my coat. It seemed like he had been like this ever since he came to the Governor-General's office.

"What are you doing here? No, what do you mean it's interesting?"

"Usually, demigods are quite mild-mannered, right? But this guy is really violent."

"Wait a minute, what?"

"The one who caused that is a demigod."

Shuguri was the devil of the mountains.

He could cause all sorts of natural phenomena, from landslides to floods.

Of course, the lineage that was less related to me had less power. Well, let's skip over such trivial things since they aren't important.

'Is this chaos caused by the providence of Mother Nature or the work of a demigod?'

A wave that burst from deep within my chest spread throughout my body. The beast's heart began to race through his blood vessels. It seemed that anger amplified the power of the skill.

I gritted my teeth and smiled bitterly.

"Ha! This rotten bastard."

They dare try to destroy my achievements? I felt like I would feel better if I held the other person accountable, whether they were a god or someone else.

How on earth do I do that? If I follow the procedure, i should first restrain the other half. There would be no prosecutor or police officer who would do such a thing.

"Then, shall we first try arresting a private citizen in the act?"

***

I ran like the wind along the rooftop of the building. Then the managers behind me shouted something loudly.

"Your Excellency the Governor! You are in danger!"

"Come back quickly!"

But my steps never stopped.

Tadadadada!

Instead, I just ran faster toward the river.

"Ugh! Why on earth would you want to go into a place like this?"

I heard Shuguri's disgruntled voice. It wasn't even funny. The cause of the disaster is there, and we are just leaving it alone without punishing it?

"That can't be. I'll just destroy it. If you're anxious, just drop it. Why are you still hanging on?"

"Because I think it would be fun."

"Do you have the will to resolve this situation?"

"I can help you, as long as you don't attack that demigod directly."

"Aha?"

In fact, I brought Shuguri here to use him in places like this.

With his ability, it would be easy to create waterways or levees. Of course, this time it didn't work out that way.

He had been lying around all day absorbing spiritual energy, so what do you want me to do for you? Anyway, I thought he might be of some help now.

"Then let me go there. Is that possible?"

I had made it to the outskirts of the city, jumping across rooftops, but I couldn't go any further. How could I advance when even the castle walls were submerged in water?

It's not like I can run on water.

But what if there's a Shuguri?

"It's not that difficult. Take a good look. The greatness of this body…!"

He took on an odd pose, spreading out his long front paws. It felt like seaweed dancing and swaying. Then, surprisingly, the water surface began to bulge. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Soon, large rocks began to appear one after another. Like stepping stones.

"Yes!"

I picked up the shoelace and stuck it to my coat. He had tremendous power to manipulate nature, but when it came to using his body, he was a total idiot.

So, he was buried in the landslide he caused and couldn't go anywhere.

That's why this guy transformed into a small form. It seemed like the light form was easier to handle. Anyway, I figured it would stick together well, so I kept running forward.

Tadak! Tadak! Swaaaaaaahh...

'Wow! This is no joke.'

Every time I stepped on the stepping stones, my whole body swayed.

The strong wind caused raindrops to pour down like hail.

Moreover, because the rock was submerged in water, its surface was extremely slippery. I managed to keep my balance thanks to my superhuman sense of balance, but the bigger problem was ahead.

"How do you know where he is?"

"I can track the energy. Fundamentally, there's not much difference between the demigods and this body, which is a true demon."

It seemed that way to me too.

Even Adam, who called himself the god of the earth, got angry when people called him a demigod.

Didn't this guy show an extreme reaction when I called him a half-demon? Every time he used he's ability, a dirt-like byproduct was created.

They are just in different camps.

"Okay. Then you guide me."

"Like this? Even if I return to the main body, it doesn't seem like it'll work."

"No, I just want you to tell me the direction. I don't expect anything from you anyway."

"What? I made a road for you, and now you're hitting me in the back of the head? I suddenly don't want to do it."

"Once this is over, I'll let you eat as much spiritual energy as you like."

"You should have said that earlier. It's diagonally to the right here."

The negotiation was very easy. Because there's no better bait for this guy. Shuguri climbed over my head and actively told me where he was.

"I'll make a stepping stone on the left. Jump over there!"

"No, why the left?"

"It's too deep ahead, so the timing isn't right. I'll go back!"

"Navigation performance is killing me!"

"What are you talking about? That thing is running away. Speed up!"

The guy was pulling his hair this way and that and screaming excitedly. Not the rat from Ratatouille, or Remy. I felt quite bad, but I held it in because the matter was what it was.

'Yeah. Right now, the priority is to beat that half-demigod guy.'

The opponent must have realized that I was a threat because he retreated at incredible speed.

At the same time, the river that had swallowed half the city also began to recede. Then the shouts of people who had climbed up to the bell tower or the roof of a tall building were heard.

"Wow!"

"Oh, how could that be!"

"Your Excellency the Governor pushes away the torrential rain!"

"There were rumors going around the empire that you were a saint. Was it really true?"

"He performed miracles, and yet he is only a saint? He is a god!"

It was almost a blasphemous statement, but no one found fault with it. I guess that means it looked like I was doing something great. The truth is, that demigod is just running away.

"But where on earth are you going?"

"Until that cowardly bastard can't move anymore"

"When is that?"

"He won't be able to go that far. With that much strength, even if hea only half-demigod, there's no way he's be fine."

"It's nice to hear that."

I tried to increase the speed even more. But I couldn't run like I did on flat ground because I'm jumping around on the stepping stones.

"Oh, shit. Can't you make the road a little better?"

"This is the maximum for me too. I don't have enough spirit to do anything more."

"Why are you so vaguely useful!"

"If you have time to complain, just run faster."

"Arai!"

Tadak! Tadak! Tadak!

Maybe it was because of Shuguri's annoyance, but it was becoming easier to concentrate. No, it's probably because I've gotten used to the beast's heart over time.

Now it was even possible to predict where the stepping stones would come up. I jumped ahead and ran over the rock before it could break through the water.

Then it felt like I was racing on water.

"Your Excellency, the Governor has performed another miracle..."

Swaaa...

People's voices of surprise were heard, but they were soon buried in the heavy rain.

This was because it was now quite far from the city. As a result, the storm grew stronger. It seemed like I would probably meet my counterpart soon.

But it was at that very moment when I was about to step on the stepping stones.

"Huh?"

As soon as I heard Shuguri's embarrassed voice, I felt a sense of emptiness.

I couldn't help but be confused too.

Contrary to expectations, my feet sank deep into the water.
