93 - 第九十三话 真打は最后に舞台に上がる
"Everything was completed as planned. But the Marquis of Batharm intervened and killed him. I'm sorry."
"Oh, don't worry about it. When he comes back with the relief supplies, he will see the devastated land of Niza. Well, I'd have liked to have seen his face, though.
"And the unicorn I summoned has been defeated."
"What? The unicorn was knocked down?"
"Yes, I skewered Bertherm with my horns, but then I got hit in the eye with my sword. Shortly after that we were attacked by a herd of several hundred deer. I also managed to escape from the deer, but I was not able to get away from M! I am running out of M! I am afraid to ask for reinforcements.
"Okay. I'll head over there with everyone I've got. Hey, listen up! Stop what you're doing and go get help for Utonica right now. We're being attacked by hundreds of deer. Prepare to go into battle formation as soon as you're all transferred.
"""""""" Copy""""""""
"They're moving in. Stay away from them."
We force the sandwiches we were eating into our mouths and swallow them. I didn't think the sandwiches Rico had brought me in the morning would come in handy here. Now we will be able to fight without feeling hungry for a while.
As I think about this, the space around Utonica begins to distort. Her fellow Poseidonians are shifting.
"Utonica, what's happening! Whoa!"
Utica, how did you...?
"Utica, d*mn..."
The Poseidonians were trapped inside the wards and the M! and take away M! And finally, the Recolnais moved in.
"What the hell is this? Agh!"
As soon as he moved in, he was surrounded by my wards, and he was unable to move. and I can't move. It seems that we are all here now. I release the warding and take off the hoods of the fallen ones one by one with Gon and the others. Then I gather them all in one place and re-establish the warding.
"Is everyone here? We can't have any disturbances in the palace, so we've all been transferred here, thank you very much. I'm sorry to say that all of you have been transferred. I took them from you. And I've got you all in custody. Now, Rekornai, I have a question for you."
I stare at the skinny, wire-eyed man with the protruding teeth, and invoke my appraisal skill.
"...Bartham! I thought you were... dead! Utonica! ...what about... what about... what about... what about... what about... what about... what about... Utni...!!!!!!!"
Utonica was right before the eyes of the metastasized Poseidonians. She was kneeling on both knees, with a blank expression on her face, her mouth open, drool dripping from her mouth, and her eyes unfocused as she gazed into the void.
"Utonica!
They do not respond at all to the frantic calls of their companions.
"I've been playing with this woman's mind. Unfortunately, I've never used black magic before, so I don't know how to turn it back on."
I used my black magic lvl 4 mental domination to penetrate into Utonica's mind and used her skill "thought" to lure the Recolnais to her. This skill is very useful. It seems to be able to convey information even to a very distant person. I am going to give this to all our members.
"...but still, Recolnai. By eliminating the Dwarves, you Poseidonians are going to replace the Duchy of Niza as the source of weapons and armor? And by using the dwarves as test subjects for your poison, you were trying to kill two birds with one stone. You guys are really a bunch of jerks, aren't you?"
Why did you do that?
"It's a well thought-out plot, but I don't like the way it's being done. Instead of destroying the technology of the Dwarves, why don't we polish ourselves to be better than the Dwarves? They keep improving their skills! Your family is probably doing all kinds of shit all over the world anyway! I guess we all need to be punished."
Nooooo...
"You..."
The eight Poseidonians who have been transferred are groaning, but they are not completely free of M! is completely exhausted and they cannot move. I can praise myself for staying awake in this unimaginable sleepiness.
"...Master, what are you going to do now?
"I'm going to make him die crazy."
"What? I beg your pardon? I'm kind of scared..."
Ferris and Ruara's faces are slightly drawn. I pull out my "Onikiri" and cut the Recolnay in two.
"Gugyaaaaah!!!!!!!"
A desperate scream rises.
"Yigiiiiiiiii!"
Unable to bear the pain, Recolnai gritted his teeth with all his might.
"Geeaaaahhhh, hahaha, hahaha, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
I'm supposed to be hallucinating that I'm being psychologically shredded, that I'm in a hair-raising situation, but for some reason I'm laughing." Have I transcended the curse of the "Onikiri"?
"Hyah, hyah! I can't hear anything anymore. I'm invincible! Whee-hee-hee. With this medicine, I'm all set. Hyah-hyah-hyah-hyah!"
His eyes are wide open and he is foaming at the mouth as he laughs and rolls around. He seems to have completely lost his mind.
"What the hell is this?
The two girls' faces are tense and they are in a complete state of shock.
"Oh, it looks like he's had a complete mental breakdown. I can't help it. I don't really want to touch them."
I put my hand on Recolnay's head and held it down as he rolled around laughing. Then I invoke the mental control of black magic and order him to use his "thought" skill to send out a signal to call for help in an emergency situation.
"Mr. Linos, what are you doing?
"Yes, they can send a rescue signal to their friends, but the range of the signal depends on their level. This one has the highest level, so it should be able to reach Poseidonians quite far away. There will be more of them, so you should all stay away from them.
"Gon, let's get the skills out of those sleeping in the wards before the others arrive. Help me."
"Yes, sir!"
One after another, they took the skills of the Poseidonians. When all the skills had been taken, the area around Lekornai began to distort.
The number of transferred Poseidai exceeded 100. The sheer number of Posejais was so great that the wards were set up over a large area, and those inside the wards were able to take M! They took away the M! However, there were many who could not be contained in the wards. Naturally, they attacked us.
Ferris! Ruara! I got your back! Do it!
"Ha, hi!"
He seemed to be escaping from reality for a moment, but he came back in a flash. With my left hand, I set up a ward around them, and with my right hand, I hit the Poseidonians with my lvl. 5 wind magic "God Wind". A great number of Poseidonians are chopped up and knocked to the ground in pieces.
"Ferris on 5, Ruara on 3 on the left!"
Gon is on my shoulder giving instructions to the two girls. Ferris is beating up Poseidon and the others with all his strength. She may be a girl, but she's a dragon. When she is hit with all her might, her head explodes. Ruara also attacks the Poseghai with water magic, mainly ice shots.
"Get out of the way!"
Ferris breathes his breath on the group of Posehay. They disappeared in an instant.
"It's wonderful that you can breathe breath while in human form!
Gon is strangely impressed.
In the end, we captured about 30 or so Poseidonians, most of whom fell prey to our magic.
"Well Gon, let's take the skills of the remaining ones... I guess there are still some left..."
A ridiculously large Poseidai is shifting to the spot where Ferris's breath has burned away. He is missing an ear and the left half of his body has been scorched.
"This is..."
"Hey, long time no see, you stupid rabbit. I let you go the other day, but I won't let you go again this time.
You are... you are... you are the one from Meirias...!
"I've always wanted to meet you when I had the chance, but who would have thought we'd meet here? The real hit will appear at the end of the show? You know exactly what you're doing."
Big Posehai looks around. He stops to look at Recolnai, who is laughing mad, and Utonica, who is staring blankly into the sky.
"Rekornai... you took the Dante Potion.... Utonica..."
"I played with Recolnay's mind to get you guys to come here. We were going to capture all of you, but there were too many of you that had transferred and we had to fight. They are the only survivors."
"Hey... men from Lewan's unit! Kasha's...! Shinsha! Mukoma! The others...
"About a hundred of them have moved on. They're the only ones left.
"What? The others... are dead!
"Well, you tell me. What the hell are you guys up to? Is there a mastermind behind all this?"
"Oh, no, no, no, no! I won't allow it! I won't allow it!"
Big Posehay took out a medicine-like substance from his pocket and threw it into his mouth. Then the man's body grew huge. Then he began to wear an ominous and mysterious air.
"Hey, Ferris, Ruara, Irimo. You look like trouble. You guys stay away from it.
With a "hi" the three jumped high into the sky.
At the same time, the big Posehai swung his huge fist at me. It seemed to be a full-frontal blow, with all his weight on it. But his fist did not reach me. It stopped just in time to touch my body.
"Gah! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"I told you it's no use."
I draw my Holy Sword from my back and cut off his fist. At the same time, I cut off the rest of his arms and legs. After a moment of silence, he falls to the ground, blood spurting from all over his body.
"Gah, gah, gah, gah!
"Stay down!"
Posehay tried to move, but he was trapped in a ward, and M! and takes the M! Then, he applies a minimal amount of restoration magic to his hands and feet to stop the bleeding.
"Well..."
I activate the appraisal on him again.
"...huh? What's that?
When I looked into his past, I found out a terrible fact.
