Chapter 461: The Black Things that Devours Everything

『IiiiIIIiiii――!』

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!

What is this!

Unbelievable magic power is...!

Hot! Hot, hot! Something is burning inside of me! I'm burning, burning, and seemed to pop!

『GUhGHaaaaghaaaaaaiiiiii!』

It's disgusting! A strange feeling as if countless bugs were crawling around inside my head, inside my body, and all over my body.

『UwaaaaAaaaAaaa!』

Help! Help me!

I will break...!

『Gha, GHaah......』

Gkiiiiin!

『?』

Suddenly, there's a sound like something cracking. What was it? what's cracking――.

It was right after that.

『UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA――!』

Black stuff overflows from deep inside me.

It hurts, it's hot, it's cold, it's painful. It's just that something black is covering and invading my insides. No, this is me too. It's an entity that makes up myself. I understood this intuitively.

『Devour it』

『Ghaaaa...!』

『Devour it』

『AAAAAghuh...?』

『Devour it, Devour it!』

『Ghuh...What is this? Ghaaa!』

Devour?

『Devour it! Devours everything!』

『Someday, you will definitely go crazy! The body of a sword, the mind of a man! There's no way you can stand it! One day, you will go mad! Just like we did!』

『I won't go crazy!』

『That's impossible! We're going to watch you from the inside. We're gonna watch you went crazy! And finally, you will kill your own wielder at the end!』

『Sh*t! You are so noisy!』

『Gyaha――gha! What the...!』

The Fanatics, who had been ranting and raving about the joke inside me, suddenly writhed in agony.

『Wha-what the hell is going on inside of you?』

Fanatics raise a frightened voice. It's Announcer-san who bites into that spirit. I can see that Announcer-san - or what's left of Cherubim - absorbs the Fanatics.

『Wha-what the hell is this! Why is there a being of our kind inside of you...! Stop it! Don't devour us! Stop! We're not going away! We won't going AWAAAAAAaaaaaay――――』

With that exclamation, the horrible feeling of disgust that had overtaken me completely disappeared. Just like that.

『......It's finally over?』

『......』

There was no one to answer my mutter. I thought that maybe announcer-san would answer me, but no. However, I could feel its presence increase slightly. Perhaps, if I continue use cannibalism, Announcer-san might come back one day.

But my condition is pretty bad. The blade is completely shattered, and to the casual observer it would appear to have been broken. I'm not sure if I'm still under the influence of the divine attributes, but my regeneration is slow.

However, my durability value was slowly recovering. I guess I survived just in the nick of time......

『No, rather than about me, what happened to Velmeria!』

Had her rampage stopped? I hurriedly checked my surroundings.

『Velmeria is――there she is!』

At some distance away, I saw Velmeria lying on the ground. Her body had returned to its original human-like form. I could see her chest rising and falling lightly. She seemed to be alive.

The super magic power emanating from her body had vanished and she was rather dying. Her right arm was blasted off, along with her fanatics, and the right half of her body was torn to shreds.

On the opposite side of Velmeria, I could also see Ashwrath lying on the ground.

『Oi, Ashwrath?』

「Shih, Master, huh?」

The words come back to me, albeit weakly.

『You're not out of control, are you?』

「It's thanks to you......」

Apparently, the worst had been averted.
