Episode 172 Kyushu Crisis (4)
A small mountain, enveloped in a fantastical boundary like shattered glass, in the shape of a hemisphere.
Rumble—!
A deafening roar, as if shaking the heavens and the earth, erupted from the center.
At the same time, a horrifying wave of destruction shook the surroundings, but it wasn’t anything new anymore.
The ground was unrecognizable, riddled with cracks and craters as if it had been bombarded.
The remains of trees and rocks, uprooted and scattered everywhere, revealed the devastation.
Naturally, the small mountain lodge that had been nearby was already gone without a trace.
Along with the pitiful bait trapped inside.
“Kuwooooh!”
Boom—!
A metallic muscle monster, over three meters tall, crashed into a hill in the back, collapsing it, with a loud whooshing sound.
He emerged from the pile of dirt after a while, seemingly sturdy as he looked, but he staggered, perhaps because of the accumulated impact, and soon vomited a mouthful of black blood.
[“Damn it! Are you supporting me properly? I almost died!”]
[“W-what are you talking about? You’re alive because I supported you!”]
[“Tsk, just shut up and join us if you’re healed! This isn’t the time to be complaining!”]
[“Complaining?! What nonsense!”]
There was a brief commotion in the mental network they had opened for quick communication, but they regrouped and joined forces to hunt down the Demon King who had descended upon the world.
Most of them weren’t the type to cooperate, but the vast experience they had accumulated while reaching their level was enough to make that a trivial matter.
“Hooo!”
The metal Devil, ‘Tank’, who had recovered in an instant thanks to his monstrous regenerative ability and the support of those around him, took a deep breath and charged forward again like a missile.
At a ridiculous speed, reaching supersonic levels.
Rumble!
A massive shockwave swept the surroundings as the air in his path exploded.
A destructive charge, turning anything blocking his path into dust with overwhelming physical force.
Boom!
But the massive projectile, as usual, couldn’t reach its target and was forced to stop midway.
“Ugh! Damn it, this shitty thing!”
The abyss, which had materialized as if defying the laws of physics, absorbed the impact and writhed violently, and then started to seep into Tank’s body.
He had transcendental durability and magic resistance, but that strange energy was slowly eating away at his body, unlike ordinary magic power.
[“Ugh! Support, quick! This creepy thing is piercing through my magic resistance!”]
But Heaven’s Turn Society, who had come prepared, wasn’t just helplessly taking it.
“Almighty Myurel! Bestow your glory upon this place!”
Twilight light emanated from the woman with a timid appearance who was supporting from the rear.
The abyss’s eerie energy, touched by the holy power of the so-called ‘High Priestess’, weakened, and was finally repelled, unable to penetrate Tank’s magic resistance.
Of course, she hadn’t completely blocked the abyss with her own power, she had just weakened it, but those present were capable enough to effectively utilize even that small opening.
Boom!
Rumble—!
Explosions erupted from all directions, both on the ground and in the air.
Heaven’s Turn Society’s elites relentlessly attacked in coordination, using their numbers, and Hahoe Mask was moving through space in an instant, projecting overwhelming firepower in all directions.
As if his magic power was infinite.
“...To think I’d see a Demon King here. How can a human have that kind of power...”
The High Priestess, who muttered softly and raised her holy power again to support the battle, suddenly froze, feeling a chill.
She had looked at Hahoe Mask to grasp his location, and...
Their eyes met.
It was only for a split second, but...
Crackle—!
A momentary lapse in concentration on this battlefield was enough time for a life to be lost.
Crunch!
Sharp teeth emerged from the ground around where the High Priestess was standing and instantly devoured the space, disappearing back into the ground.
The place was empty, without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
Not many could react to that surprise attack, which had no warning or presence, and unfortunately, she didn’t have that ability.
But that meant...
It wasn’t like there was no one who could react.
“Ugh... Thank you. I almost died...”
The High Priestess, unharmed, wiped the cold sweat from her pale face, standing next to the man in the suit in the back.
[Hmm—.]
And then Hahoe Mask’s gaze, filled with displeasure, turned towards him.
Even though he was still moving across the battlefield, with dozens of magic circles floating around him, and facing nearly thirty strong individuals.
‘He’s amazing.’
The man in the suit, the manager, inwardly admired his opponent while delicately manipulating his energy, not letting his guard down.
His unique skill, “Administrator of the Small World”, wasn’t just about isolating the surroundings.
That was just a basic application, and this interior was a space entirely under his control.
The restrictions were becoming more subtle as he stayed in this space and was analyzed by the opponent.
It wasn’t just about weakening Hans’s power, but now they were even starting to restrict the ‘unknown energy used by Hahoe Mask’.
He might have had a chance if he had responded immediately before the enemy figured it out.
The abyss, which was already less effective on Earth, was now even weaker because of the power restriction, making it difficult to break through the boundary at once.
But...
There was no such thing as perfection in the world, and everything had a loophole.
‘He’s suppressing the abyss by understanding it through me. In other words, it’ll work as long as I’m not the one handling the abyss.’
An entity that was connected to him, but not him.
And a being strong enough to withstand the high concentration of the abyss.
Hans poured dark magic power and the abyss into his “Immortal Heart” while continuing the battle.
Continuously, compressing it to a high density.
The number of times he was hit by the enemies increased in the process, but he was an immortal being who wouldn’t die as long as his heart wasn’t destroyed.
And to destroy his heart, they would also have to unleash an attack that could cut through dimensions...
In a way, it was a battle he couldn’t lose.
But...
‘Not losing’ wasn’t enough.
The only thing that suited Hans was victory!
And it had to be an ‘overwhelming victory’.
[Hehehe— Indeed, you’re quite something. Then I can’t just stand here, can I?]
“What trick are you trying to pull?!”
“Don’t be fooled! Maintain formation!”
“Immortal Heart” writhed and pulsated violently.
And finally, when it crossed a certain threshold,
Hans summoned an undead that was closely connected to him.
[Come out, Heratos.]
Squirm—
The Bone Dragon Heratos, created from the Mad Dragon’s body, which was consumed by ‘madness’.
Unlike Entracio, he was an individual with limited independence because Hans himself was acting as the Dragon Heart.
But that meant...
Conversely, his subordination was superior to any other undead—.
Flap— Flap—
[Kyaaaaaah—!]
Heratos’s entire body was already filled with the abyss’s power, compressed to its limit, as he appeared beneath Hans’s feet, carrying him on his head and taking flight.
Crackle— Crack!
Of course, his body was slowly collapsing as a result, but it was a dragon’s body, so it was enough to endure for a while.
“What?!”
“What’s that monster! How is something like that on Earth?!”
“Wait! That thing...!”
One of Heaven’s Turn Society’s members pointed to Heratos’s mouth.
The result of continuously absorbing the abyss and dark magic power through his heart before being summoned.
Even though he had just been summoned, a massive amount of power was flickering in his mouth, as if it was about to explode.
“Administrator! That thing, quickly...!”
“Ugh, it’s too late...!”
And finally, that power...
Before the other awakened ones could even react,
[Kyaaaaagh—!]
Was poured onto the boundary of the world, compressed to a high density.
In the very intuitive form of a dragon’s breath.
Rumble—!
Boom—!
“Ugh! Fall back! Don’t fight, retreat!”
“M-Myurel! Protect your servant!”
“Abort mission! The space is collapsing! Immediately...”
Frantic shouts erupted, both through the mental network and their voices, as they were overwhelmed.
[Hahaha— Ah, I finally feel better! Yes, this is it! Hahaha!]
The ‘Small World’ that had enveloped the mountain finally collapsed.
Hans, Heratos, and Heaven’s Turn Society’s members revealed themselves on a mountain in southern Kyushu.
On the mountain behind the city, not far from where the underground organization’s lodge was located.
“Huh, huh? Wh-what’s that? A monster?!”
“M-mommy! Mommy!”
“Kyaaaack—! What are the Guardians doing?!”
It was the moment the Bone Dragon from another world, which no one could have predicted, finally manifested in Earth’s sky, against the backdrop of the citizens’ screams.
