CH 81

Chapter 81 Pretty much conclusion

TL.Corner

I just have my wisdom tooth removed. The process fell nothing but after the anesthetic wears out. It's HELL. I can't focus on anything since It hurt so much. I'll try to push out some chapters after the pain subside. Thanks for your support.

The brave young adventurer lost his consciousness here.

At the moment, he starts to lose his consciousness.

When the Goblin King swung the club, it didn't notice.

No, I guess It didn't notice, because it was a monster with a big body and a bulging belly.

There's a little monster underneath it.

It was a small hand. A rugged hand that has its wrist part as a mouth.

It has lips, teeth, and tongue like a human mouth.

This monster's name was [Consuming Hand]

There are 60 billion of these beings identified worldwide.

Most of them are living underground, and you can rarely find them on the surface.

Anyway, you can't disturb this kind of monster no matter what.

This is an agreement between every human, demon, demonic beast, demon king, and even hero.

The reason was once you attack one of those hands, all the other 60 billion hands will hunt you down without fail.

Indeed, all 60 billion of them.

It was the worst threat that can destroy the whole kingdom.

And this Goblin King is going to step on this threat unaware.

[Ugggu..]

There is a small moan under the Goblin King's foot.

At the moment, the Goblin King was struck by a fear that springs up from the depths of his body.

The Goblin King know what It was doing.

It's too late to do anything now.

Countless [Cunsuming Hand] spring up from the ground toward the Goblin King.

Those hands have a black color that nothing like the regular one.

Revenge has already begun.

[Uggg! Guaaaaa! re.... release me!! Don't come here !!!]

The gigantic body of the Goblin King was covered by the [Consuming Hand] from head to toe.

The sound of chewing meat and crunching bones rang out throughout the forest.

The Goblin Knight in the surrounding also got surrounded by the [Consuming hand].

The scream echoed, and the scene of the abhorrence unfolded.

Then

[Burrrp!!!]

After such a burp sound, every [Consuming Hand] revert to its original color and return to the ground.

All that was left was a piece of shredded meat and the adventurer's corpse who have not been touched by anything.

There was the only young adventurer who fainted that survived.

----------

[Who the hell are you ….. Don’t tell me.]

[Yo, Duke Orba, I’m here to kill you]

After we enter the room, we meet the Duke for the very first time.

As for his appearance, he is just a worn-out middle-aged man who has a bulging stomach as his signature. I can't find any part that worth seeing at all.

In other words, he looked like a classic corrupted aristocrat.

This is a great magician, right?

By the way, I wonder if my endurance status will also work on magic.

There are magic-resistant, but if my endurance only works on physical attack, then It would be quite troublesome.

[......What happens to Reis?]

[I haven’t seen him you know? We split up here, so he should be fighting somewhere. Maybe he's dead already.]

[Hmp…. This useless shi*]

[What’s that? Ahahahaha Did you hear that Rishe-chan that’s laughable.]

[You have quite a great personality here.]

It's very laughable don't you think so, an incompetent man uses a useless murderer. he's a very classic corrupted aristocrat to the core.

Then he picks a short sword on his table up. My miasma knife extends its reach and pierces the hand that just pick up a short sword.

[Argggg You!! You asshole!!!]

[I can't just let you pick up a weapon in front of my eyes. Right?]

[Unforgivable! Lightning Spear!]

The Duke points his unharmed hand to me then chant a spell. The sound of the crackling thunder rang out, and the magic gathers in front of the palm. The magic power transforms into lightning. Then the mass of lightning turned into a spear ... and it was released.

[Ku..….!]

It's the first time the Duke was seeing this kind of miasma that could be manipulated into a shield.

The Duke collapse from his position and the lightning that was release hit my miasma shield disappeared.

In the position that I didn't know if magic-resistance exists or not, I can't afford to get hit like that.

If things go wrong, I'll get a lot of damage as a result.

But, well, I can't let him find out. Poker face. Poker face.

[What !?]

[Well, It seems your magic doesn't work on me.]

Then, I activated the "Eerie Constitution."

[Hiiiii ! no… Don’t come here!!]

[HAHAHA Don’t be so scared. I'm just a little H rank. you know?]

[ku…..!]

Wow, It looks like the effect gets higher according to my status. He crawls away from me with a frightening face. I wonder, If the magic doesn't work like this, so he grits his teeth and glare at me.

[Duke Orba right? Excuse me, but I don’t understand the greatness of the nobility or how great your court rank at all.]

[You basta*d …. Why...Why did you protect that girl?]

[I’m quite fond of kids. Hora.. You don't see it in me right?]

[As if I know…]

[Of course, you should know. I’m here to kill you after all]

Maa… I’m just saying something nonsense again. I’m not really like kids except Nico-chan anyway

I thought that my future dream was to conquer the world.

I think it's a waste of time and I hate trouble.

To make that dream come true requires a lot of effort, so No!!!

I should do something productive instead of deluding myself like this.

Oh, I got derailed somehow. For now, I have to kill him first. Then, a miasma knife appears in my hand.

[D… Don’t come here!!!]

[non-non To meet a big wig like a duke like this is quite a fortune for me, so should we slowly talk about this here?]

[Ku….!]

[Ahaha, Don’t be so nervous. I'm just a friendly boy in the street, so I'm sure we'll get along.]

I’m slowly walking toward him with a knife in hand. In order to not scare him off I think I’m showing him my smiling face. He’ll let down his guard for sure. I step to the front of Duke Orba since I think killing him should be quite easy. I looked up to see his face and keep smiling.

[Hey, What's your favorite color? Pardon me? Me? I like anything other than the red color.]

Then, I drilled my knife into his bulge belly.

[Gyaaaaa!!!!]

[Ah, sorry soooo sorry. I want to aim at your heart but I missed. I wonder if I got impatient? My bad]

I apologize to the screaming Duke. I want to pull out a knife but It stuck somehow.

Apparently, the Duke's muscles and fat are tightening and holding the knife.

[Nnn? Ah, I have to do it like this right? Ei!!]

[Gyaaaaa!!!!]

Because it is a miasma knife, I eroded touched part and turned it into a miasma. After the Duke’s belly got eroded, my knife came out easily. Ahh,It’s great. It’s great.

Are? It’s good that I canceled the erosion skill right? Ahhh!! I have to keep this in mind, so I don't make this mistake ever again.

[Well ... Unexpectedly, I found out that I can partially convert miasma. How do we kill them? Rishe-chan, do you have any good ideas?]

[Don't ask me how to kill someone ... and I still don't have a resolve to kill anyone yet.]

[Is that so? Sorry sorry. I mean, you don’t want to stop me?]

[No matter what I think. He just reaps what he sows, isn’t it?]

It seems Rishi-chan can’t kill people yet. Well, to meet someone who wants to kill people is rare after all. I’m always with Leila-chan and meet with Reis too. I wonder If my sense of life turns weird somehow?

Well…. At this point, killing him or killing a monster is just the same.

[Kuuu uuuu! ArgHHHggghH!!]

[Duke? Pain? Sorry, I’ll kill you soon]

[Hiiiii !! Don’t come here… I don’t want to die !!!!!]

The Duke writhe in pain and said something like this. I wonder what will a protagonist or a hero say to him. What will you do to the people who asked for help by saying so?

To be honest, if someone says that to you, you'll help them?

I think it is a no. I wouldn't come to kill the bad guy in the first place if that was the case. When you come to kill, you're already a villain. But I don't have a sense of justice in the first place, and I'm a good villain because I kill to satisfy myself. At the very least, killing the Duke would save Nico-chan and his father.

[I'll kill you then. How do you want to die? I'll let you choose how you die.

How generous am I !!]

[I don’t want to die. Help me !!!]

[Ummm... Sorry, that's not an option.]

That said, I trust a knife in the Duke's neck this time.

[Agh….! B..Blood… AArrGHHHH!!!?]

I pulled out a knife and blood gushed out. Even if you try to suppress the wound, It's useless.

The blood will spurt out till you die anyway.

The Duke's scream turns soundless.

He's trying to roll away from me, but I decided to chase him so he could die immediately.

I'll turn him into a miasma soon.

It's not about destroying evidence, but if there's no corpse, it's easier to clean up afterward.

[Well then, Duke, Your life is now in a good hand, so you can die with peace of mind.]

Since I'm kind, and I don't want the Duke to die for nothing.

At least your life will be of use to me.

Yup, the Duke should die with peace of mind.

While thinking so, I wrapped the body of the Duke in Miasma.

[aaaAAaaaaa…..!!!]

The screams grew louder and louder.

After the sound fade to nothing, the miasma extinguished, and there was no figure of Duke Orba anymore.

That idiot seems to have all turned into a miasma.

Am I already complete Clair-chan request?

[Yeah, this is good.... Clair-chan It already ends.]

Standing up, I see Clair-chan with a pale face and said so with a smile.
