Chapter 60 Part 5 – The Descent of the God of Combat
「…… Nuahahaha!! Serves you right!! You’ll regret that you’ve underestimated me …… Guooooohhhh!?」
Addis, who was about to boast of his victory, let out a terrible scream.
He probably didn’t even know what had happened to him.
I was far away and couldn’t see anything either.
I could only deduce afterwards that it was probably like this.
「He」 jumped toward Addis and grabbed him by the neck.
Moving at an extremely fast speed, 「he」 went around to the front of the throwing knives and swung Addis at it like a shield.
Addis was forced to catch the knives he threw with his own back.
A series of thudding sounds followed.
「…… You amateur, you can only use the ‘Dark Illusion’ to that extent. Remember this well. If you simultaneously activate the invisibility technique ‘Dark Illusion’ and the footwork technique ‘Setsuna’, this kind of super acceleration is possible …… hey, I’m teaching you. Don’t fall asleep in the middle of a fight.」
While still easily lifting Addis with one hand, 「he」 shook Addis’s body.
Umm, no matter how I look at it, he has fainted ……!!
Seeing it from the sidelines, it’s a bizarre sight to see a petite girl in a maid uniform lifting up a tall, masked mysterious person like a balloon. Combined with Addis’s ridiculous white dress suit, it seemed as if they’re doing a magic trick.
Addis remained limp and didn’t give a response.
It’s no wonder though. There was no way that the human body could withstand such a crazy, rapid acceleration.
The blood vessels throughout his body must have ruptured. It would not be strange if he suffered brain and internal organ damage.
If he’s unlucky, the damage from that might even be more serious than the countless knives stabbed into his back.
「What a hopeless guy. Hey, wake up. I haven’t done anything yet.」
「He」 began to poke Addis in the forehead to wake him up.
Then a muffled sound resounded. 「His」 index finger had made a hole in the mask.
I shuddered.
It was too out of the ordinary. There’s not even a crack in the mask.
Only a hole was drilled into it.
「He」 probably concentrated too much power in 「his」 fingertips that the material was pierced through all at once.
Then I realized something even more terrifying and I was shocked.
「He」 is still black-eyed.
In other words, 「he」 has not invoked the physical enhancement technique, 「Blood Atonement」.
And yet, 「he」 is this strong!? Did 「he」 show up in the wrong story!?
The genre of this story is a different world romance, you know.
This story is barely hanging on the edge of that genre though!!
Fortunately or unfortunately, Addis came back to life just before he was about to turn into an emmental cheese.
「He」 shook 「his」 red ribbon and smiled charmingly.
「That’s great. You regained consciousness. Now I’m going to hit you just once, like I promised. Well, umm, you know. I’ll go easy on you, but you should take care so that you don’t die.」
That’s too gruesome ……
Understanding the meaning of the words, Addis let out a scream and swung his arms and legs around.
This time it was not an act. He must have felt like the scythe of the Grim Reaper has been hooked on his neck.
His instincts sensed that his life was in danger and he became frantic.
Four bizarre, hairy arms appeared from his back.
The fear and damage had made it impossible for him to maintain the ‘Dark Illusion’ and the arms became visible.
Those long arms with protruding elbows looked more like a monkey’s arm than a human’s arm. It also looked like the bristly legs of a spider.
It has an atrocious shape that makes it clear at a glance that it has terrifying power.
With just one of those arms, Addis could probably lift his own weight without any difficulty.
Knowing that he made these arms invisible and swung them around, it’s no wonder he can move with such a degree of flexibility and lead us around by the nose.
However, both the monstrous strength that Addis boasts and the tail that comes out when his life is in danger are completely meaningless right now.
All of his desperate attempts to resist only cut through the air.
「He」 was too out of the ordinary.
All Addis’s attacks were either parried or slipped through 「his」 body.
Addis couldn’t even shake off 「his」 hand that was gripping his throat.
「…… What an idiot. The ‘Dark Illusion’ is originally a technique used during close combat. I’m second only to that monstrous woman in the mastery of this technique. Ordinary punches and kicks would not work on me. You’re already cornered. Give up.」
Hearing the merciless declaration, Addis screamed and went berserk as if on fire.
His pride had been shattered and he was going mad with despair.
Addis had absolute confidence in his strength, but in front of 「him」, he was made to realize that he was nothing more than a piece of trash. It was as if his entire life had been negated. It would be nothing short of a nightmare. The only shred of pride he had left was from the fact that he at least did not beg for his life.
It was like watching a criminal on the verge of execution and I gradually started to feel sick.
「He」 seemed to feel the same way and sighed deeply.
「Good grief, that’s why you shouldn’t bully the weak …… Hey, now you know how miserable it feels to be bullied. There’s always someone above you. Carve that fear into the marrow of your bones so you would never forget about it.」
「He」 took his hand off Addis.
「…… Let’s go, then. Prepare yourself so that you won’t die.」
「He」 took a single step forward.
The attack was more like the light than the wind.
Addis could not even react.
The forest behind Addis shook.
It was as if a pitch-black laser had run through it.
Or perhaps an invisible drill would be more accurate to describe it.
The space at the tip of his outstretched fist wavered and distorted, then without a moment’s pause, the forest was pierced in a straight line.
Holes the size of a human torso were drilled into the trunks of the trees, one after another.
It never stops ……!!
Umm …… where is the final destination? It’s drilling through the tree trunks till all the way over there.
「…… God of Combat ……!!」
Phantasma strongly clutched both of his knees on the ground to the point that it seemed as if they were about to shatter and his shoulders trembled.
That certainly was not something a human could do.
Even Bradd, who was said to be the strongest person in the world in the previous 「108 times」, would be no match for 「him」.
Who the heck is 「he」!?
Unperturbed by our surprise, 「his」 maid uniform was still fluttering in the refreshing night breeze.
「…… When I’m serious, my fist can penetrate the air and objects that are far away in the distance. It’s called ‘Transmission’. Remember it well as it is a souvenir for you to take to the afterlife. …… Only because of the maid uniform.」
I cringed at the pun that ruined the serious atmosphere.
「His」 fist punches through the space on the extension line of his fist, smashing anything that stands in its way.
I have never heard of such a monstrous technique before, not even when I was a queen.
It is truly a god-like strength.
And yet, 「his」 character, it was as if the current young Bradd had grown up into an adult.
「…… Well, I didn’t kill him though.」
「He」 did not hit Addis with 「his」 fist.
「He」 moved the fist slightly to the side just before the collision.
However, Addis felt the tremendous power of the fist with his whole body.
He was convinced that he was dead.
He fainted and fell flat on the ground with foam coming out of his mouth.
A dark shadow spread beneath his body. There was a strange smell. It was incontinence.
「I’m sorry, Scarlet. I know he’s the one who made you go through such a painful experience, but I don’t think I can go any further than this. Should I have killed him?」
I shook my head at 「his」 words.
I could understand how 「he」 felt. If 「he」 goes any further, it will be a massacre.
Those who pass judgment on others with their own sense of justice will eventually fall into the path of evil.
I had experienced it so much when I was a queen.
「No, I’m glad you didn’t kill him. Besides, he showed such a humiliating sight in front of us who he despised as insects. For the proud Addis, that should be worse than dyaing.」
When 「he」 heard the lisp on the last part of my sentence, 「he」 burst into laughter.
Uwaaaannn!! I’m still suffering from the aftereffects of resuscitation!! I ruined one of my few signature scenes!!
「…… I knew you would say that.」
As I held my head in my hands and anguished, 「he」 smiled at me.
It was a beautiful smile, like a sunflower under the blue sky.
The eye of the Ruby of God’s Eye was still opened wide and glowed.
For some reason, my heart felt tightened.
For a moment, I thought I saw a vision of 「that girl」 smiling shyly.
…… Condemn the offense, but not the offender
This is fine, isn’t it, 「that girl」?
I have had enough of hating others during the time when I was a queen.
From now on, I will live as a person of love.
Besides, from now on, the monstrously strong 「him」 has also joined the force.
I’m not afraid of Addis.
We have to beat him up and make him tell us everything about his background.
「…… Ah, I forgot to mention that I can’t always appear. It takes a lot of power just to appear. The next time I can come out will be in a year or two …… Even now, I don’t know how long I can stay in his body ……」
Seriously ……!!
My happy life plan came to an end in just two minutes.
「…… Okay then!! Let’s beat Addis until he’s half-dead. Until he’s about one step away from not being able to recover again.」
I made an urgent proposal.
Living as a person of love?! Heh, I can’t afford to be so carefree.
Life is filled with ups and downs!! You have to adapt yourself to the requirements of the moment!!
Without the invincible force that is 「him」, how can I leave such a dangerous pervert alone!!
For the sake of the world, for the sake of others, and for the sake of myself, I must make him unable to stand up again ……!!
For the sake of the stability of my dream of becoming a shut-in, he has to die …… Well, I guess we don’t have to go that far, but at least we need to make him so terrified that he can’t go to the bathroom alone at night!!
So much so that he will never have any intention of going after me again!!
If possible, he should be so scared that he will lose his memory and forget about me!!
「…… You’re doing a complete 180 degree turn from what you just said earlier.」
「He」 was shocked and 「that girl」 was crestfallen inside my heart, but that’s okay!!
After all, humans and ships often change course, don’t they!?
Besides, a woman has to be bold.
…… So, the villainous queen, it’s your turn now!? Best regards!!
I squatted with a gangster pose and expressed my savage determination.
This flexible little girl is an expert at this posture.
