Chapter 178.1 - Hot Flesh and Blood

TN: True Rainbow Slayer

===

Huff Huff Huff

Ooyama who was about to run out of breath stopped running.

He strained his ears as he readjusted his breath, trying to catch the sound of any possible pursuer. He sighed as he realized there was nothing but the sound of falling water.

He sighed yet again as he realized he had managed to shake off the Shaman and Berserker.

Huff, huff Taka

Sugino Takashi died to give him a chance to escape. Ooyama could never forget his final moment.

Dammit why, why

Naturally, what Ooyama wished for was for them to fight together, and open their way up to survival. But the reality was cruel, the loser had no right to choose who would survive nor would they get such a chance.

Like hell, I want to survive by myself Taka, without you

His sense of loss and regret was nearly crushing him.

Had he known that things would turn this way, he would have rather died with Sugino. Yet, the reality was cruel, he survived by himself.

Even after he knew that he was doomed to die, Sugino took the risk of showing his unprotected back to the berserker just to protect Ooyama.

But whether it was because he was following Sugino's last will or because he was terrified of the berserker who easily slaughtered Sugino, it didnt matter anymore. At the very least, he had no idea why he escaped.

He was furious with himself. Angry for losing to Momokawa who he had always regarded as a coward and looked down up. And this very attitude had ended up with Sugino saving him from mortal danger. He was truly powerless at that time and could only run with his tail between his leg.

It was truly an unforgivable act for him. But he couldn't go back anymore. Sugino was already dead.

What should I do Taka

The person who usually replied with a gentle smile was already gone.

Dammit without you my life is

The other party was the sole reason for him to survive in this world.

And yet, he failed to realize how dangerous life in another world was and had been busy looking down on someone for his girlish appearance, that error had caused irreparable damage to him.

Wait for me, Taka, I'll go to your side soon

Committing suicide was the only option for him right now.

He took out a utility knife, the first thing that he felt when he was about to slit his own throat wasn't fear. He strangely felt at ease since he knew that he would reunite with Sugino.

Yeah, this is for the best, I could just forget about everything But, is it really okay to do this?

Guh dammit!

The sound of a knife falling to the floor resounded throughout the cave.

Dammit all like hell I can reunite with Taka in this way!

As the last one left, Ooyama Daisuke still had his own pride as a man.

I'm the reason for our defeat Taka died because of me

And yet, Ooyama was forgiven. If there was heaven and they reunited there, it would be a moving reunion.

But no. Even if Sugino forgave him, he couldn't forgive himself.

It ain't time to meet Taka before I get my revenge!

His survival instinct reignited once he vowed to get his revenge.

Strangely enough, he didn't hate Kotaro or Meiko who killed Sugino, he had already accepted Sugino's death as a result of the battle with their life on the line.

But it didn't mean that he didn't want a rematch.

Momokawa, Futaba, I'm not gonna die till I kill both of you I'LL SURVIVE TILL I GET MY REVENGE!

Ouch!

He tried to dodge the incoming feeler, but it was faster and coiled around his ankle. He felt his foot go numb along with the sharp pain. He then realized that the feeler might have paralysis poison.

But it wasn't enough to paralyze Ooyama's entire body.

Dammit, don't think that this sh*t can stop me! HAAAAAAAAAAA, MUSCLE HEAT!

Ooyama kicked the feeler coiling around his ankle with his left foot as he felt power rise in his upper body.

NGYOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yokomichi roared an indescribable roar on the other side of the smoke created by the exploding Ignis Sagita, possibly because he felt the pain.

Yuck, what a disgusting guy. My bad dude, I don't even want to punch you with my fist.

He planned to keep Yokomichi at bay with a ranged attack. It was a ruthless decision, Ooyama focused his entire power on his fists.

NUUUUUUUUIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

This time, instead of just one, several feelers arrived at the same time, accompanied by that agonizing wail. Six feelers flew at the same time, making the sound of cutting the wind.

He took a stance as if gathering power. Then his right leg began to lose sensation. Ooyama had failed to avoid the six feelers due to two overlapping factors.

TCH!

The feelers then began to wrap themselves around his other limbs, neck, and che*st, sealing his movement. Though his body felt heavy as a result of the paralysis poison's overwhelming dosage affecting his nerves, Ooyama was unfazed.

DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME! BURNING POWER!

As he was engulfed by the flame-like aura, power returned to his body.

Burning Power had the power to negate abnormal status just like how it negated the poison bullet fired by Kotaro. Even if his body had already been affected by the abnormal state, the effect was diminished due to the purification power of the burning flame.

The paralysis was already gone, and the feelers that were wrapping around his body were about to be burned to a crisp by the flame.

Even Ooyama couldn't stand the thought of being taken down by uncool Yokomichi's feeler. As a result, he concentrated his mana in his hands in order to increase his firepower and burn the filthy Yokomichi to cinders with his next attack.

After the smoke cleared, Yokomichi body that was hidden behind it was also revealed. This was the first time Ooyama saw Yokomichi's appearance along with the feelers that were coiling around him.

Na, A-AAH, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Even Ooyama couldn't help but scream like a girl.

Those feelers were coming out of Yokomichi's mouth. In other words, his tongue.

The tongue that stretched and branched into several feelers looked like a fantastic organ of some sort of monster, but since it came out of Yokomichi's mouth, it was undeniably his tongue.

Ooyama's disgust reached new heights when he realized that the filthy man's tongue, which no other man dared to approach, was licking his body.

He lost his mind at that point. He completely forgot about casting his most powerful attack spell and focused solely on escaping the disgusting clutches of the feelers as soon as possible. His movements became irrational as if he was attempting to stay afloat while being unable to swim.

This created a fatal gap.

BI-BI-BIGACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Seeing that opening, Yokomichi fired an electric shock.

Predation Skill

Power Generator OrganAn organ that creates thunder magical power.

Yokomichi, who gained an organ that generated electric power in his body, was able to discharge electricity throughout his entire body. He let out a bestial roar akin to the beast from which he obtained his Power Generator Organ, followed by an electric discharge from his tongue.

GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Ooyama wailed in agony as his entire body was ravaged by an electric discharge, and he collapsed helplessly on the ground.

Yokomichi drew back his tongue, possibly because he judged that the prey was already incapacitated.

And then approached the prey that had already lost their means of movement.

U-A, aa Get awa

Yokomichi, who had descended from the ceiling, was approaching Ooyama with his four limbs like a wild animal rather than walking like a human.
