Chapter 16

What was that?

Otto doubted his ears.

Just now, did I hear something?

Then,

[Whos there?]

Huh?

[Who coughed?]

He didnt mishear it.

Someone was talking to him for sure.

Wh-whos there?

Otto shouted in surprise, but the person who spoke to him wasnt anyone around him.

[Who are you that woke me up?]

No way

Otto realized that this unknown voice was echoing in his head.

Is this mace talking to me?

This was something that even Otto couldnt have expected.

[Punishment of Kairos]

This is the club that the infamous tyrant Kairos, considered the most powerful and evil dictator in history, used during his lifetime.

Kairos, who was a monk of the Atropos sect, is said to have used a mace as a weapon in accordance with the doctrine that priests should not use weapons with blades.

It seems that the evil thoughts of the tyrant Kairos are deeply ingrained in this club.

Otto had used the Punishment of Kairos item when clearing the Conquerors Revenge event. However, at the time of playing the game, the Punishment of Kairos had never spoken to him.

[Notification: You feel a cold chill!]

[Notification: An unknown evil energy is boiling up!]

[Notification: The Punishment of Kairos temporarily grants you powerful strength!]

[Notification: Be careful!]

[Notification: After 5 minutes of using the item, the Punishment of Kairos will take control of your character!]

Only a warning notification like the one above came to mind.

So, in the end, the game and reality arent exactly the same, huh?

Thats when Otto thought of that.

[Who are you to wake me up from my sleep?]

Uh well, thats

[Disturbing my precious rest unforgivable]

Sorry? Are you Kairos?

[How dare you!]

An unknown voice shouted loudly.

Ahh!

Otto screamed and clenched his head at the pounding pain in his mind.

[How dare this worthless s**m like you call my name?]

Well, I

[This weak and pathetic garbage oh, this is perfect Ill just use your body to resurrect Kukukuku]

Thats when it happened.

What are you mumbling about? Condor snarled at Otto.

Condor became angry at the thought of being ignored when he suddenly screamed and muttered to himself.

How dare you stand in front of me and act so relaxed!

At the same time, Condor charged at Otto at a frightening speed.

F-f*ckk!

Otto dodged Condors attack by leaping away in an instant.

Regardless of the unknown voice or whatever, staying alive was the top priority.

***

The Duel That Started Like That

Die! You dog!

Condor relentlessly attacked Otto with terrifying force.

I cant believe this kind of power!

Camille was shocked by Condors appearance, and more so with his new power.

He was already strong before, but now he was even stronger.

Maybe he was ten times stronger?

Kairos attempted to forcefully take over Ottos body.

Gruh Gruuuuuh!

Otto couldnt even properly resist Kairos immense energy pushing against him.

Meanwhile

Ill kill you Ill definitely Gruuuuuuuh!!!

Condor, who had stood up, charged towards Otto like a beast, roaring.

A tremendous amount of magical power was emanating from Condor.

Otto, whose vitality was on the verge of collapsing from Condors reckless attack, mustered his last bit of strength and went on a rampage.

As evidence, Condors body was completely dyed purple, with two horns protruding from its head, and finally wings resembling a bat had grown on its back.

A perfect transformation into a Devil.

This was evidence that Condor had made a contract with the devil.

[Kukuku! Resisting is futile! Consider it an honor to serve me with your useless body!]

Gruh

[Finally, you submit to me]

Shut up!

Otto resisted Kairos attempts to take over his body by using his willpower.

While doing so, he held tightly onto his mace and looked at Condor charging towards him.

This was his chance.

If he didnt kill Condor with a single blow, he would lose his body.

Concentrate I have to concentrate Gruh.

At that moment

Die!!!

Condor almost flew towards Otto.

Now!

As if waiting for this moment, Otto swung his mace.

Kwaaaaang!

The mace struck Condors temple with precision.

[Notice: Critical Hit!!!]

Critical hit!

My Luck 1.

My character was not very lucky, but Lady Luck smiled upon me this time.

Gyaaaa!

Condor fell to the ground, his left temple half broken.

Ohhhh!

Did our lord win?

Did he defeat the devil?

As the onlookers were surprised,

Groan groooan!!!

Otto couldnt even enjoy the joy of victory.

His veins swelled as if they were about to burst at any moment.

His skin turned purple and yellow like Condors.

Trembling!!!

He couldnt move his body well.

[Kukuku! You did well, but now your body is mine! Just surrender your body!]

YAHhheeee!

Otto was almost losing consciousness resisting Kairos, who was trying to take his body.

He tried to let go of the mace, but it wouldnt come off his hand as if it were glued.

My lord!

Camille ran up at a terrifying speed.

Camillethis..this.. use this!

Otto opened his inventory and threw something at Camille.

Camille caught it and wrinkled his face.

W-What the hell is this?

The item Otto threw was a sweet potato skin.

The same one they used to bake sweet potatoes in the fireplace last night.

Hurry hit me!

Yes?

Hurry hit me Kraaaaak!

In desperation, Camille swung the sweet potato skin with all his might.

BANGG!

The sweet potato skin hit the back of Ottos head.

Splash!

Otto fell into a puddle of rainwater.

Then the mace that had been stuck to his hand fell off and rolled on the ground.

This is!

Camille was surprised to see a blue light emanating from the sweet potato skin that had hit Otto.

It turned out that the sweet potato skin he used to bake sweet potatoes was not an ordinary item.
