80 Episode 80: The Resurrected Dead and the Angry Demon

"Ahhh, shit"

What a living undead who thought the demon had killed him.

I wonder why you even bothered to pretend to be dead all the time?

"Oops."

Standing up, the undead, when he pokes his knee on the floor, falls asleep and resumes pretending to be dead again.

……

No, no, no, wait, wait.

"What are you redoing dead pretences for?!? It's too late."

"Shit."

The pointed undead gets up with his tongue pounding.

No, you...

"I mean, wasn't he dead?

"Oh, yeah! You're the one I cut off from behind!

To Mr. Roddy's doubt, he shouts out as if the demon had returned it to me.

"You idiot. Is there such an easy undead to die for when the results of your research are in front of you"

Well, I don't even know what the undead has to say.

Speaking of undead, you're stuck in this world by obsession and revenge.

If it's the undead of the staff he was studying at this site, it's natural that if you have an extra-large remnant of your heart in front of you, you can't die.

But then why pretend to be dead? Isn't that forgivable when demons take away research?

"Exactly! Why didn't you run away and stay down here on purpose? ⁉"

I mean, it's a weird sight that demons are in tune with our words that are enemies.

"Um, it was pretty tough not to move."

"No, that's not what I'm trying to say..."

"Then you actually changed your pose every day. I moved my body a little bit so that it wouldn't be noticed, and now it's a different pose than when you first cut me to death! I don't know, how do you feel?

"Hey, what is it!?"

Yeah, I don't think that's what matters.

"I don't care about that!

Oh, I got it back.

"After all, why were you pretending to be killed by me? ⁉ What the hell are you up to ⁉"

Yeah, that bothers me, too.

Why did you imitate something that would let the demons take away important research?

"... okay. Let me tell you something."

Undead's voice goes low and tension runs on the field.

……

"We already know that this lab is studying Chimera's and the white disaster that once threatened this world."

The undead puts his hands together to point to the surrounding chimeras.

"And while we made many sacrifices, we got shards of white disaster. We were ecstatic. Now the study of the white scourge progresses dramatically. But research was not easy. Because few of them lost their lives due to rampant chimeras. There is also a limit to the extension of life by magic. Some of them continued their research until they were as undead as the others, but they all gradually lost their untrained skills and eventually became alone."

The undead lean down to the past.

"But at the end of his ordeal, Nun finally completed a study to subjugate the chimera he had created using shards of white calamity! And then I came to the point where all I had to do was actually make a chimera."

Undead movement stops.

And tremble with criticism.

"Non... could not conduct the experiment"

"Why?

"It's the..."

Turn your gaze up as if the undead were looking at the other side.

"What's that?

"... because you didn't!

"" "" "" "... what?

Um, what do you mean?

"So far Chimera's experiments with shards of white calamity have failed by storming off without one exception. And every time, shards are lost! And the shards left were used for one experiment.... If you use such a thing, you won't get it!

"" "" "Ha-ha-ha!?" ""

What the hell!? I didn't want to experiment because I didn't have it!?

That's not the end of the line!

"... I know"

Huh? Do you understand, Mr. Ramies?

"What makes you want to collect rare items without using them. You know very well."

"Oh, you know what, you're young! That's right, it's natural that you don't want to use it!

For some reason, Mr. Ramies and Undead started a relationship of intent.

"Nevertheless, the remainder of Non's mind is to use this shard to complete our research. I wondered if it was possible to put a foothold on it. That's when he showed up..."

That's how the undead turns his face to the demon.

"Hey, what!?"

The demon, huh? Me? I get upset like that.

"I thought Non was a Book of Heaven. Try to get this demon to use a shard of white calamity. If you can't use it yourself, I thought I'd stop by letting someone else use it! For that reason, he taught his own research results at no cost, and the demon designed himself to use shards of white disaster!

So you're saying this undead was the cause of everything?

"Nevertheless, I still don't have what I don't have. Honestly, I thought I'd stop it by attacking from behind..."

Wow... did this demon almost get the same thing from the undead as what he did?

That's karma, though.

"Oh, you're telling me you let me take away my research for such nonsense reasons ⁉"

"'Cause it was a waste!

"It's not..."

Mr. Roddy twitches in a grumpy tone.

"Well, it's a good thing I let you do it, but to be honest, it's too crude a task. I was watching very hard, so while I was asleep, I had to re-adjust and stuff."

"Hey, what the heck!?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

"Ew!

Wow, they say you can do whatever you want.

That demon's pride, isn't it bumpy by now?

"Thanks to this, we were able to produce a chimera using white disaster materials. I can't do it right, but I just wanted to say thank you..."

And so the undead turn to us, and they stare at us, no, at me.

"Kill me without even fighting the chimera I could corner. Whoa, that's a hell of a bad boy! I don't know if I need to be punished for this."

"Isn't that an eight hit?

"Ning Lo, your demon was badly supervised and the ground was in trouble!

It looks like Mr. Foca and Mr. Roddy protest, but the undead said where the wind blows.

"Well, it's more important that Non's research be accomplished!

Damn, this is it if you think you've defeated Chimera.

I'm a really annoying researcher.

The undead and we will have a flash of air.

"Hey, come on, you guys! When you're human and undead, you ignore me!

Oh, an abandoned demon got angry.

No, well, angry naturally...?

◆

"Both chimeras! Kill them all!

Following the hysterical decree of the demon, more than a dozen chimeras who slept in the crystal opened their eyes and popped out crushing the crystal.

The chimeras come flying at us with a fierce glow in their eyes.

Oh man, it looks like the pinch is still going on when the big eater says he took down the big bump chimera.

"We're intercepting!

"Copy that, husband with two big fangs!

We each wield a weapon and start intercepting the chimeras.

"Gwow!"

"Wow!?"

I manage to get the chimeric nails flying over me faster than I expected, with white teeth, but they push me into forces that far exceed my expectations.

"Gu!"

If I get it right, I decide it's very intolerable, and I spin my body half a spin to flush the claws I got.

Damn, if only I could use the power of white fangs.

But unfortunately, his powers as a white fang magic item have been exhausted in the battle against the chimera in the courtyard. I needed a few days to be able to use my powers again.

"Kuku, these chimeras are high-end chimeras made to accompany chimeras with shards of white disaster! It's not like the courtyard is broken!

"What!?"

It reminds me of that creepy chimera that fought in the courtyard behind my brain.

All the chimeras that have now emerged from the crystal are around 2m.

So you're telling me that he has more power than that giant chimera!?

How far can you fight with the power of white and black teeth unavailable?

That's not all, even if we take down the chimeras, there's that demon behind it.

Demons, human enemies only spoken of by legends.

I'm too unprepared to fight such an epic monster.

But we have to. I'll cry later!

"Holy Virgin, Heavenly Guide, get some magical cover! Defeat Chimera with Me, Sunstorm and the Undead"

I turn my gaze to the big man as I give him immediate instructions.

The key is to him!

"Big man eater, you ask for demon man!

"Huh? Me?

The big eater shouts surprise at his nomination.

I told the boss, who would be the toughest, if he was the new guy.

"You're the strongest of them all! We'll cover for you!

Yes, I admit honestly, he's strong.

He knocked down a giant chimera like I was about to get hit with a hammer in my arm.

On the contrary, there were no occasions where he was inactive even on the road so far.

He is definitely strong.

Even now there have been many fierce men hiding in the field.

Among other things, he is in a special category.

If there was a hero, he would say something about him.

If he is, he can beat the devil!

"... OK, Mr. Liseau! Leave it to me!

A big, determined eater rushes out toward the demon.

The Chimeras stand still, but the Big Eaters push beneath the Demon without difficulty in avoiding that attack.

All right, now I see a little winning eye.

Defeat the demon man giving command to the chimera and the chimeras will disrupt their command and show a gap.

And then if we manage to get the chimeras up until then...

"By the way, do you fight with Nong?

The undead asks this one in a relaxed tone.

"Every demon is considered an enemy, then give me a hand."

"Hmm..."

When the undead does his hand to his jaw, he shows a slight trick to contemplate.

"The enemy of the enemy is a man called an ally? Well, that's good. I don't feel good watching you show off your bad chimera."

"Bloody undead! My chimera devoured me, and now it's time to die! Chimeras, shatter the undead there!

I appreciate this.

The target of the chimeras concentrated on the undead.

He's the one who pulled me down. You want to take him down first.

"Oh my God, Nong doesn't like rough things. I'll leave the savage to you. High Area Enchant Boost, High Area Protection, High Area Mana Boost"

When the undead activate magic continuously, our bodies are wrapped in strong light three times.

"Gwow!!"

And the chimera jumped in without getting my hair in there for a while.

"Come on!"

I get those claws to flush the Chimera attack with my black fangs.

It was then.

"What!?"

Instead of getting a chimeric claw, that arm cut in two along my black fangs.

"Wow, what the fuck!?"

Seeing it, the clear storm had also torn Chimera's leg in two with its sword.

Whatever the hell happened, I turn back to the undead.

If anything, it's the magical light that just engulfed us.

"Ho, ho, ho, I hung auxiliary magic on you guys. I don't know what I'd do with a chimera."

"That this is auxiliary magic!?"

So much magic existed in ancient times!?

"GUAOO!!"

I will cut off another chimeric attack that strikes me again without ever matching.

As the undead put it, my attack cuts the body of the chimera like butter.

"Cheng Cheng, can we really do this?"

"Air Lancer"

The magic of the Heavenly Demon puts a wind hole in the torso of the chimera.

"Auxiliary magic that enhances magic!? Did it even exist in ancient times?!?"

"Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

I'm not sure what the devil's guide is surprised at, but whatever this is, this is a thankful reinforcement.

It's just, well, I'm afraid of what happens after the Big Eater defeats the Demon Man.

I wish I could negotiate in peace.

Either way, now we have to focus on the enemy in front of us.

Come on, big guy.

I dropped off my rushing big eater's back as I knocked down the chimera.

◆

"Huh!

Avoid the cameras that block the way, slap and lay down, and I head under the demon.

For some reason, Mr. Liseau told me to take down the demon man who was my culprit.

But why?

If that demon is all the culprits, we should all work together to fight.

Honestly, the chimeras who get in the way aren't big enemies either.

Only demons should be wary.

... Could this also be a test of whether I deserve to be an S-rank adventurer?

Before coming to this cave, when I was dealing with a demon that attacked me on the move from Wang Du, Mr. Liseau told me to show him where I deserved to be as an S-rank. Then this fight, yeah, this request is a test for that, too...

Otherwise, you wouldn't let me be the new S-rank, would you?

"Hmm? Could it have been an act to struggle with a chimeric opponent in the courtyard?

Is that what happened to you?

If you think about it, there's no way any of the most powerful adventurers in the S-ranks would struggle with such a chimera.

I'm sure everyone was fighting deliberately not to show strength.

This request itself was prepared from the very beginning as a test to see if I was the right adventurer for the S-rank!

S-rank doesn't necessarily mean you deserve S-rank just because you've been promoted to the strongest adventurer, or S-rank.

So you're in a responsible position to say you're an S-rank adventurer!

"Now I'm convinced! I mean, Mr. Lissoe and the others are asking you to try and defeat him by yourself!

When I step forward, the demon falls back and stands up so that the chimeras become walls.

But this level of chimera is not my enemy. [M]

I cut the chimeras together. [M]

"Vow!!"

The chimera jumps out of the shadows in an attempt to poke through my gap that knocked down a flock of chimeras.

"Gyuung!!"

But Moffmoff, who jumped out of behind me, flies to the chimera and intercepts him.

"Gawn!!"

Poor Chimera was slammed to the ground and became Mohmov's rice.

"Kuh, the chimeras are stuck!? Who the hell are you!? And what's that white?!?"

"I'm just an adventurer! And this is my pet Moffmoff!

I leave the chimeras on their way to Moffmoff and jump into the demon.

But here the demon smiles niggardly.

"The chimeras! Be my armor!

The chimeras jump and flock to the demon man who flew away behind them.

Then the bodies of the flock of chimeras deformed and encircled the demon's body, making it look like armor like clothes.

This is for sure...

"Hey, what the hell!?"

"Oh, that's not an armed chimera."

Undead explains to Mr. Roddy's surprise.

"Hey undead! What is an armed chimera!? I've never heard of a chimera like that!

And Mr. Roddy inquires into the undead with a voice he can't hide his curiosity.

"Armored chimeras are living weapons that themselves become weapons and dramatically enhance the Lord. There are a lot of problems, but the overwhelming enhancements from the armed chimera can compensate for a lot of performance. You're not going to be very good with these chimeras."

"Did such a chimera exist!? But why is there no description of that chimera left in modern times?

You're at my pace even though you're in battle, Mr. Ramies.

"This is it. That kid also has a lot of strength from knocking down a chimera with shards of white disaster, but that was only before that chimera started moving. A demon wearing an armored chimera has very little chance of winning against him...... should I run away?

"Is that such a bad situation!? Damn, big guy eater! Back off!"

Instructions go in to get back from Mr. Liseau, but the normal chimeras block my way out.

"Whether you're the one who defeated the chimera with the shard of white disaster, I won't win against you with an armored chimera all over my body! Curse your own detours that protrude to positions where you can't get backup from your peers!

Apparently, the demon stepped back to lure me out.

Still, I'm surprised the demon would use an armed chimera.

"Die, kid!

When the demon pokes his right arm, a large amount of magic bullets are thrown out of the mouth of the armed chimera that was fused to his arm.

"A magical attack by an armored chimera is like a dragon's brace. It doesn't require a spell. It's a kind of unchanging magic."

"Oh! Unchanted magic!

"If you guys are talking like that!

I avoid the rain of magic bullets unleashed by demons as I overhear the conts of the Ramies who hear them behind me.

"It's no use. It's no use! It's impossible to avoid the rain of this magic bullet!

The Demon Man is right, the rain of the Magic Bullet is getting denser and denser, and the gap to avoid it is gone.

"I can't help it, Mana Protection Boost!

I reinforce my magic defenses with physical enhancement magic and jump into the rain of magic bullets.

"Ha ha ha! Finally give up..."

"Oh well, let's get out of here..."

"" What, no ⁉ ""

In the rain of magic bullets, the demon and the undead shout surprises at me as I rush through without even protecting myself.

"Ba, bucket or you!?"

"Bakemon or that kid!?"

"Rude. He's a normal adventurer."

"" Where is normal? Ah!

"" "" Yeah, I know ""

I think I heard some consent from behind... well, no.

"Damn! But I wonder if you can follow my speed!

The demon attempts to jump and mess up wide institutional walls with leg strength enhanced by an armed chimera fused to his legs.

"Hey, what speed and jumping power!?"

"This is the power of Armed Chimera!?"

At that moment, the facility was engulfed in darkness.

"Did you turn off the lights? Not this time."

The demon's voice echoes as his sight is engulfed in darkness.

"Die hey! Kid whoa!!"

I dodged the arm-dochimera blade stretched out of the demon's right arm to a minimum and stepped out half a foot and protruded my sword.

I feel a rash on my arm and a dull touch.

"Gohoo!?"

I hear demons in the dark.

"Lights, lights"

When the undead raised his voice, the lights lit the facility again.

And in front of me was a demon whose sword I protruded profoundly pierced.

"Ba, silly... how could you avoid my attacks in the dark...? On the contrary... if you fight back and pierce my body protected by armored chimera armor...!?"

He stares at me with unbelievable eyes. [M]

"The answer is exploratory magic."

"Exploration... you say it's magic!?"

"Yes, I activated exploratory magic the moment the facility was wrapped in darkness, and I sensed you coming in the direction, and that you had produced a blade from an arm-dochimera on your arm. After that, we just avoided the reaction."

The demon opens his eyes in amazement.

"Stupid...... you say you instantly switched to exploratory magic in that moment and even sensed a change in the shape of the arm dokimera!?"

"What's more, arm chimeras eat the magic of their users foolishly. So when operating a nuclear stone... No, if you don't give a lot of demon stones and absorb magic from the outside, the wearer will soon run out of magic. You were using too much magic to move too slowly before you even noticed it."

Yes, that's why the armed-chimera didn't become a major weapon.

And it's a creature. Maintenance is also difficult, so even in that sense, the cost was multiplied.

Then there is more demand for magic items that are easier to maintain.

No matter how many demons possessed higher magic power than humans, wearing armored chimeras throughout their bodies was not half as much magic drain.

If this demon was seriously studying the chimeric research he took from the undead. If I had at least loaded the documents, I would have realized that and taken good care of it.

"All we have to do is poke your gap and match the counter."

Yes, it was just that simple counterattack.

"Kuk... you say it as if it were an easy thing to do... goop"

A demon spits blood out of his mouth and collapses.

"Ugh, what is that kid? I knew it wasn't a Bakemon!? I defeated the demon man who was born and dressed in an armored chimera."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

"Mecha say wow. I can't do that to a normal person. As soon as you get used to fighting, you can switch to exploratory magic and shoot counters without hesitation in the dark. If you don't, you'll die fast when it gets dark."

"It's undead, but you're going to die..."

Something tells me I like it back there.

"Anyway, that's it. Mr. Lissow, the demon crusade, which is the cause of the mass appearance of demons, has been completed. Please confirm."

"Oh, oh... well done"

Looking back, it looks like Mr. Lissoe and the others were safely finishing their crusade for Chimera.

Hardly any injuries, and after all, it looks like the Chimera thing in the courtyard was an act to gauge my strength.

That's S-rank adventurers seniors, I didn't realize that at all.
