Chapter 172: For The Yet Unknown Tales (3)

Though it was brief, I felt as if I made eye contact with Iona in the distance.

But then, a skeleton wielding an axe charged at me, blocking my view, so I wasnt entirely sure.

Th-th-th-th-this!

Its teeth were missing, and due to rust, the axe blade was jagged like a saw. A weapon that looked more dangerous for tetanus than a cut if hit. Instead, I threw myself towards it.

Thunk!

It was the sound of the axes handle, not the blade, hitting my shoulder.

The bewildered skeleton clacked its jaws, attempting to bite at my neck, but it was a bit too late.

I was already swinging a dagger at its cervical spine.

Crack!

Sadly, the extra hit from the dagger didnt activate, but thanks to my accumulated strength stat, its neck snapped instantly.

Only its head dropped; its skull was still intact, so the skeleton flailed about, not breaking apart.

Just as planned. It was about time.

I wrapped my arm around its spine and charged forward, shoulder first.

I didnt intend to use it as a shield. After all, it was hard to block attacks with just bones.

But I had a simple reason for holding onto it. To knock away the nets thrown by the fishermen.

Swoosh.

The moment I saw a net flying from a distance, I put strength into my right leg and spun around, using it as a pivot.

After a full rotation, I threw away the skeleton I had been holding in my arm.

Haah!

The bones soared up, hitting right at the center of the net.

The net, entangling the headless skeleton, retraced its trajectory.

Kupata haki!

Ignoring the incomprehensible curse from a fisherman in the distance, I quickly bent backward.

Clang!

Crossing swords and spears where my neck had been.

A fisherman soldier who had approached unnoticed swung its weapons from both sides.

Seizing the moment its weapons tangled, I unleashed the magic I had prepared.

Thunder Bolt!

A magic burst out from around me without directing it with a staff.

Though it consumed a lot of mana and lacked precision it didnt matter right now.

I still had plenty of mana, and the monsters were close enough that a rough shot would hit.

Crackle!!

The view flickered blue.

Mwilimwili!!!

It burns!

The fishermen electrocuted by the lightning screamed, with black smoke pouring from their eyes, nose, and mouth.

I use telekinetic magic to snatch their limp weapons and shoot them forward.

The freely unleashed Thunder Bolt cleared the surroundings, and the thrown weapons pierced through the eyebrows and hearts of the flustered fishermen.

Judging by the tangled net they held, they must have been the ones who threw the net at me earlier.

With nothing else blocking the way, I swiftly ran forward.

The monsters, regaining their senses too late, charged at me all at once but they werent as densely packed as before.

That was enough for me.

I stared directly at the sword of the leading skeleton knight, recalling my H&A days.Reead latest novels at novelhall.com

The sword falling vertically, feet shoulder-width apart, toes turned inward, was definitely the imperial swordsmanship of the Levantin Empire.

A straightforward and staunch swordsmanship disguised as a technique-based style.

If you crossed swords even once or turned your body to dodge, youd get caught up and grabbed by the ankle.

It was a sword technique truly befitting of the empire, designed to tie up the enemy and then overwhelm them with either stronger allies or sheer numbers.

Even if I failed to discover clever strategies and panicked at the slightest deviation from expectations, I was confident that I could do better than anyone else at things I knew.

Even if I couldnt defeat all the monsters, breaking through was definitely worth a try.

However, the reason I hesitated until the end, and why Carla and Elisha tried to stop me, lay elsewhere.

It was only a moment of making my way chaotically through the monsters.

Suddenly, the monsters that seemed like they would crush me if given the chance stopped in their tracks and began to circle around me, as if enchanted, creating a distance.

It was as if they were forming an arena.

Thus, some encircled me at a distance, while the rest resumed their advance towards Iona, their original target.

It was later than I thought. Was Iona fighting that well?

I stopped my restless legs for a moment and looked in Ionas direction.

Grand magic exploded without end on the battlefield, but among it, a doll-like figure effortlessly made its way out.

A beauty with purple hair and a pointed tail fluttering behind her.

With horns on her head and long bat wings at her waist, she epitomized the look of a succubus.

The woman, with a typical succubus appearance, started fussing with wide eyes.

Oh? Oh my, oh my? Arent you just adorable? Exactly my type It would be a shame to kill you.

The woman twisted her body subtly, emphasizing her breasts.

Come here, honey. Its okay. I wont hurt you~ Youve had a tough time, havent you? Its okay to rest a bit.

Despite the distance, the woman exuded a sweet fragrance to the tip of my nose I knew her.

Sweet Melonia.

The Archbishop of the Grotesque Proliferationa symbol of sexual desire.

Even without considering her succubus nature, which was adept at seduction, imagine how powerful she would become with the authority of Grotesque Proliferation.

Despite being on guard, Melonias sweet scent was enough to make my head dizzy.

Seeing that all the monsters surrounding me were fishermen, and all males at that, they must have been instantly charmed by Melonia.

Ugh ugh

Right. Youre doing well. Yes. Come embrace me in my arms.

As I staggered towards her with a dazed look, Melonia slowly descended to the ground.

Her exposed breasts between her widely spread arms boasted an extraordinary bounce.

Ah breasts

My goodness I thought you were just my type from your face, but up close, your vitality is even more astonishing

Succubus traits and the power of Grotesque Proliferation aside, Melonia was an incredibly attractive woman on her own.

Long purple hair cascading down in waves. Innocent-looking facial features enhanced with a mole under one eye, adding a hint of sensuality.

And her figure was another story. Full breasts and hips that perfectly embodied femininity.

Just standing there made it hard not to stare. That was Melonia.

As I got closer, my eyes were drawn to her scantly covered vital areas.

Her tight outfit and the skin peeking through.

Hehe. I told you, young men are the best. If only all could fall for me this easily.

Confidently smiling, Melonia presented her breasts as I leaned in, as if enchanted.

It was as if she was inviting me to embrace her any time.

Naturally bouncing breasts. Towards that soft flesh

I thrust the dagger straight in.

Scream!

How could you?!

Melonia hastily retreated. Whether it was too late or her breasts were just too ample, one side was slightly pierced.

Even a shallow attack caused the dagger to heat up and emit light because it hit its target.

Boom!

As Melonia screamed, having become asymmetrical in a blink of an eye, I smirked.

0.7 Faye.

They werent that big, after all.
