Weekly chapters (1/2)


The power of MC when he is in pinch.


Enjoy the chapter~


The Spirit Beast Belial glared at me as it stood before me. Is it like the spirit arts that Cecilia uses to materialize hers?


I had definitely expected to fight Zack, so my expectations were greatly disappointed.


Zack gave an order to Belial, who roared while exhaling white breath.


[Let’s play.]


Instead of fighting… his order was to play.


However, anyone who looks at this black sword might think so.


Belial leaped at me.


Immediately, my right hand started to ache. I felt so hot, like I was being burned. What the heck is going on at a time like this? ?


The stigmata appeared on the back of my right hand. It’s like the other me was yelling at me, asking me to unleash him.


From the moment the stigmata emerged, I could feel incredible power welling within me.


It was as if the benefits of status had returned.


The other me probably wouldn’t want to die in a place like this either.


However, if I continue to use the power of the stigmata, it might turn out as he planned. Still, I can’t fight Belial without this power.


I felt like the other me that I met in the dream world grinned at me.


Fine, you can have your grin now.


[Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.]


The stigmata engraved on the back of my right arm continued to emit red light, increasing its strength.


The surrounding elves were also buzzing from the light I was emitting.


[Don’t be afraid, Belial, go. It’s just a bluff.]


Whether it’s just a bluff like Zack said, if we b.u.mp into each other… we’ll know right away.


I would also like to know which is stronger, the power of the Sacred Beastkin or the power of the Spirit Beast.


Belial rushed towards me, wrapped in terrifying cold air. I felt if I received that rush, my whole body would instantly freeze and shatter.


There is an option to dodge, but then I won’t be able to show my power to the elves. I can’t afford to be seen as a coward running around.


So I stood and took it head on.


[Come at me, Belial.]


[Shatter, Fate Barbatos.]


Along with Zack’s voice, Belial and I collided. A frigid wind blew around us.


[Impossible… If you were to block with a sword like that… and unharmed… my spirit beast Belial should’ve…]


[I’m not even trying here.]


[Kuh… Belial, what are you doing?!]


Zack was worried as he checked Georg’s expression.


Perhaps he was planning on concluding the duel with the rush he made earlier.


[You underestimate me too much. I’m stronger than you think.]


[I was just letting my guard down. It’s a shame. I was trying to let it end easily, so it’s really a shame.]


I thought so. I guess he thought I was weak, so he was cutting back on me.


The next attack should be serious.


However, my mind was calm and I was strangely able to perceive my surroundings clearly.


Compared to the battle with Libra in His land, the Spirit Beast Belial didn’t seem like a threat. Maybe it’s because the power flowing from the stigmata was giving me some leeway.


Belial blew cold air at me from its mouth. I jumped up and dodge it, then slash with my black sword.


There was a high-pitched beast’s scream. Physical attacks seem to be effective against spirit beasts.


I avoided making a deep cut that would cause a fatal wound. If possible, I wanted to end this duel peacefully.


Then, Zack put his hand on his left shoulder and knelt down on the ground.


What does that mean? I was supposed to attack the spirit beast, so why is Zack getting damaged?


[I guess that did it.]


[Fate, the spirit beast is connected to the Master who summoned it. If you attack the spirit beast, the master will be hurt as well.]


[I see.]


I was relieved that I had avoided a fatal injury. Zack is Georg’s direct subordinate after all.


It’s obvious that if I accidentally kill someone, it will leave a big problem behind. I don’t want to attract any more attention from Georg.


[Zack, surrender.]


[I can’t do that. There’s no way I can do that. This concerns the prestige of the elves. Besides, I haven’t gotten serious yet.]


[Hnn!?]


[Everyone, get out of here!]


The two horns on Belial began to glow blue-white.


When Cecilia saw this, she panicked and called on the audience in the square to evacuate.


Among the crowd of people running away, Georg was the only one laughing as if he saw something funny.


Zack had suppressed his power so as not to cause any damage to the elves in the audience.


I guess he now intends to freeze the entire plaza. Still, it didn’t seem like a threat to me.


It would have been possible to freeze everything inside this Great Wall if it were my father. For someone like me who has seen that power, this scale is small in comparison.


This level that I can still handle.


I know I shouldn’t overly use the power of the sacred beastkin. But right now, it’s the only power I could use.


Zack glared at me, his shoulders shaking.


[The cost of hurting my pride is high.]


[If it’s going to hurt you that much, then you should’ve just thrown that thing away.]


[What are you talking about, you short ears? There’s no way someone like that would be allowed to step into an elf town. This is a land where only the upper races are allowed to live.]


It was too bad that my ears were short. This is something I was born with.


[If superiority or inferiority is determined by the length of the ears, then show me that. Be that Spirit Beast Belial.]


[Let me tell you, you can stop talking. You and others should just be friends with beastmen. You are not suitable to be at Cecilia-sama’s side.]


Ignoring Zack’s true feelings, I called out to Cecilia.


[Cecilia, please make sure everyone else is not affected by this.]


[How about you, Fate!?]


[No problem. We don’t have much time, so hurry up.]


Using wind spirit magic, Cecilia covered the hall with a barrier to prevent Belial’s attacks from reaching the outside.


While looking at that, I fixed my eyes on Belial. There was no fear anywhere.


I don’t know why, but I feel a sense of elation from the battle that I had forgotten for a while.


This is not due to the sacred power of the sacred beastkin. The thing I was born with――the gluttony skill is about to start working again. It and I are one and the same.


So, if it tries to wake up… I’ll understand immediately.


I heard an inorganic voice inside my head.


《Gluttony skill is activating》


《Failed due to out of range》


《a.n.a.lyzing………………》


《…………98%》


A huge amount of cold air was released towards me from Belial’s two horns. The ground froze, but as if that wasn’t enough, the moisture beneath the cobblestones juts out in the form of blades of ice. The air froze, and the gas turned into a sparkling solid.


[I’ll freeze everything. You’ll regret making me get serious, Fate Barbatos!]


An inorganic voice said inside my head.


《a.n.a.lyzing………………》


《…………99%》


The Spirit Beast Belial’s serious attack triggered something that was writhing inside me, sensing the crisis and trying to wake up.


What will happen to me if the voice announces that this something has reached 100%?


Is it connected to the Gluttony skill that ate the failure of a G.o.d? If I couldn’t protect myself… I was a little worried.


However, at that moment, I felt like I heard Roxy’s voice.


(Fey, believe in yourself… you can do it again)


《a.n.a.lyzing………………》


《…………100%》


《a.n.a.lysis completed》


《Gluttony skill is activated》


Belial’s cold air hit me.


[It’s over. No one can endure this.]


I could hear Zack’s voice, confident of victory.


In the raging cold air, an inorganic voice spoke to me.


The status of the monsters that I defeated on Louise Island poured in. It seemed like they either didn’t have the skills or were unable to acquire them due to the difference in their worlds.


I heard the sound of the other me clicking his tongue.


That’s a shame…you can’t replace me that easily. If I can use the Gluttony skill, I don’t need to rely on the stigmata on my right hand any more.


While brushing off the ice from my clothes, I pointed the broken black sword at my opponent.


It wasn’t at the Spirit Beast Belial, but the stunned Zack. Then, I said it quietly but forcefully.


[I’ll be serious from here too. If you don’t want to die, I’ll say it again. Surrender.]
