Chapter 124: Luzerio’s 'Trump Card”

Chapter 124: Luzerio’s “Trump Card”

Fran smashed me into Luzerio’s spear and caused a series of sparks to illuminate the underground space.

She was much more skilled than him, but had to hold back so we could keep him alive for information’s sake. Moreover, he had range on her, and was actually decently strong to begin with. He could match the average C ranked adventurer.

The combination of all the aforementioned factors led the two to fight roughly on par with one another. Unfortunately for Luzerio though, said abilities had caused him to realize why he still continued to draw breath.

「Foock! Just die already, you sheetty brat!」

「Refuse.」

「Foock! Foock foock foock foock foock! How the foock is a foocking kid strong enough to go even with me!?」

「Stop with denial. Not going even.」

「Shaddappppp!!!!」

He’d probably planned to take his time toying with Fran, but reality had instead grasped his dignity and slapped him in the face with it, for it was she and not he that ended up holding back. The fact that his strikes weren’t even so much as leaving scratches caused him to start screaming in frustration.

It would be in our best interest to wrap this up as quickly as possible so we could chase Rynford down, but his Paralysis Resistance was pretty high level, so I figured we probably wouldn’t be able to get him with Stun Bolt.

『Alright, I’m going to mess him up next time we clash. Try not to kill him if you can.』

「Just die already mother foockerrrrr!!!!」

I cast Wind Wall without chanting the moment Luzerio extended his spear in an attempt to get some decent damage in and caused his strike to deviate far from its intended path.

「What!?」

「Opening.」

Fran immediately knocked his weapon aside as I followed up my spell with another.

『Stun Bolt!』

「Garghghg!」

Yeeaaap, I knew he wouldn’t end up getting paralyzed.

「You foocking braaaaughhhh!!」

Stun Bolt didn’t really do anything but make him flinch, so he immediately turned around and reached to grab his spear. However, he was interrupted by Urushi, who promptly leapt out of his shadow and gave one of his legs a good bite.

「Growl!」

「Graahhghghgh!」

His right shank had been completely detached from his body. He promptly lost his balance and fell over while staring at his severed limb with a flabbergasted look on his face.

「...My leg! My legggg!!!!」

He glared at both Fran and Urushi whilst grinding his teeth in hatred and rage. It almost looked as if his stare alone could cause some sort of curse.

In spite of that, seeing Fran point her blade at his face caused him him to ultimately give up. He dropped the dagger he’d pulled seemingly out of nowhere, and ended up collapsing in a bit of a slump.

「Want information about Rynford.」

「The foock you wanna know?」

「Describe.」

「Heh. Rynford is one helluva man. He’s got the ability to bless people with the Evil God’s power. He lets us junk this sheetty human shell we’ve got so we can ascend and evolve!」

The Evil God’s power, eh? Yeah, Iunno, I wouldn’t really call Bluke’s little change to be an ascension by any means. The hell’s wrong with this guy? He wants to become that kind of reason deprived thing of his own volition? All you can do in that kind of state is rampage about. Yeah, I don’t really get him, or anyone with deviant-like tastes for that matter.

「Rynfords goal?」

「Rynford only has one goal, ultimate power!」

「Nn? Means reviving Evil God?」

My thoughts were more or less the same as Fran’s. I’d assumed that he wanted to revive or unseal the Evil God or something like that.

「Are you retarded? Revivin the Evil God would cause the world to end. You think we just want to die? Hell naw, you can’t kill people or foock b*tches if you ain’t alive.」

So does that mean he’s basically planning to use the Evil God’s power? But how’s he manage that if he’s not a believer?

「Evil God’s what his name says he is, a God that rules over Evil. He ain’t got no qualms giving his power to sinful men like me.」

Ah, makes sense. So he’s okay with helping out anyone that’s evil, even if they don’t worship him.

「Rynford, where?」

「He’s already moved to another one of the bases Bluke’s prepped for him.」

「Location?」

「Hahahahahah! You want to know where it is? I’ll tell you where it is. It’s beside the Lord’s manor, right in the center of town. It’s the perfect place for Rynford to channel his magic through the whole ass city of Barbra!」

You know, he sure is being awfully cooperative. Is he retarded or something?

The moment the thought crossed my mind was the moment the ring on his finger broke whilst giving off a pale glow; Luzerio almost seemed to disapear.

「Gyahahaha! Looks like you let your guard down, brat!」

He reappeared about ten meters away from us. It looked like the ring he’d just used had the ability to be sacrificed in order to allow him to teleport a short distance. After teleporting, the man let loose a painfully loud laugh while pulling out a small container and draining its contents in an instant.

「Urushi.」

「Woof!」

Urushi dove straight at the Evil Human and allowed Fran to slash at its neck as she passed it by.

But it didn’t die. Its head remained unsevered.

「Gruruooohhhh!」

It’d actually managed to realize that we were coming, so it’d raised its arms and sacrificed them to save its life.

_______________________________________________________________

Huh, this one’s pretty strong. Did it used to be an adventurer or something? It looked like it even still had some of its old skills. In other words, my suspicions were spot on, the stronger the human, the stronger the resulting Evil Human.

Hmmm... That said, I do feel like I’ve seen the guy somewhere before. Where was it again...?

(Adventurer. Kicked up fuss at stall.)

『Oh, right! Yeah, I remember him now.』

He’d caused some trouble at our stall, so Colbert had kicked his ass. He used to be... an F ranker, but now he’d become as strong as a D ranker. Wow. That transformation really did some work.

Still though, we didn’t really have any trouble dealing him; Fran’s second strike split him right down the middle. Blood and other bodily fluids splurted from his muscled corpse as it fell apart from the seams.

「Hiiiiiiihhhh!」

The woman we saved had gone pale because the demonic-looking corpse had fallen right in front her, but she somehow managed to squeeze out a word of thanks.

「Thank you very much For saving my life.」

Crap... What now? We couldn’t really just leave her here, there might be more Evil Humans about.

「Nn.」

「Huh? Kyaah!」

「Bear with it. Just a little.」

Fran lifted her up and hopped on top of Urushi’s back before immediately having him accelerate to where we saw the knights. The woman began to scream, but we couldn’t really blame her.

「Kyaaaaahhhhhh!!!!」

I mean, who wouldn’t scream if a three meter tall wolf popped up in front of them and started carrying them off at super high speed?

「Kyaaaaahhhhhh!!!!」

Hopefully, this wouldn’t end up leaving her with any sort of trauma. Hopefully.
