Chapter 190 - Screams of Exceedingly Deep Forest and Ground [Continuation]
I didn"t hold any hopes to begin with, as he didn"t seem like he was in the mood to answer questions.
Perhaps he is using a skill or something, he walked through the air till he arrived at the edge of the fountain.
「Is that your response. Then you leave me no choice, I will be beat the living daylight out of you, and force you to reveal your ident.i.ty and objective」
「You could give it a shot if you think you"re up for it. To start with, this is the first step. With that power you desperately want so badly, I will crush you thoroughly head-on」
The next moment, the ground burst open as if an explosion had occurred at each of their feet, and a shrill sound as if cutting steel resounded.
「Are the rest not joining in?」
「Aah, I am your only opponent in this dog fight. Their cue is much later!!」
Just like in the training grounds, as you would expect from a unique ability, he was holding a double sword in his in hands in the blink of an eye.
Gagagagagagagaa, the sound of metals clashing and exchanging blows resonates.
「I see, you are much faster than you were at the training grounds」
![]()
「Ahahahaha! You bet I am, I have had to endure, and endure, and endure before finally getting to this very point you see!!」
So he was holding back at the training grounds huh, he swings his sword at a phenomenal speed and keeping up with my fists.
But, what is even more worrisome was that, I could feel the power belonging to a G.o.d from the man in front of me.
A power that belongs to G.o.d means a power that is able to have an effect on G.o.d.
If possible, I would like to win him over as a comrade, or at least build a cooperative relationship with him.
(But, his eyes. I can"t exactly say that I have lived a life where I couldn"t have caught a grudge, but such deeply rooted……)
「You, where did you obtain that power!! What will you gain from attacking me!」
「I have no obligation to answer you!! The only thing you should be aware of is that, the grudge I have towards you is enough to break you down completely!!」
In order to gain distance for the time being, I projected a punch a fist packed with power, Kaito met the knuckle"s force with the blade of his sword, and then fell backwards with his sole sc.r.a.ping the ground.
「……Meaning, there is no chance in h.e.l.l for reconciliation huh」
「Huh, no friggin" way」
「Is that so, like I thought, so it"s revenge huh. Although I have no recollection……, I also have an objective. About the origin of your power, about eh fairies, about the monster behind you that"s giving off a similar scent like that of the fairies, I will have you tell me all about them even if I have to force your mouth to do it」
My whole body is filled with magic power, and my heart pulsates as if screaming out from its very depths.
That is the fragment of the power of G.o.d that I obtained.
The power to open the door even further on top of the pinnacle of power of beastkins.
「Ooh, In such a place with this much concentration of magic power, I feel even better than usual」
The overflowing magic power swirls around me.
「I can"t very well be stingy with my cards against an opponent who possesses the power of G.o.d after all. I"m going to be a little rough, so be prepared to have a few shattered bones and limbs okay!」
With this, I am convinced that my worth will not be shaken in front of this man glaring at me with such attentive* eyes. (TLN: With no opening)
「『Divine Beastification』AaaaAaAaAaAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaahhhhHH!!」
In that moment, the magic power filled within my whole body began to rage. Each cells is activated as if being reborn as is filled with power.
Fangs grew out, my claws became sharper, and mane bristled up, swaying with the overflowing magic power.
Even so, the magic power that cannot be contained is repelled back to the surroundings, and my body was making crackling sounds as if covered in lightning.
My five senses were sharpened, and a sensation that could likely be called the sixth sense began to expand.
In this state, I can draw out more potential of my body than an ordinary Beastification.
According to Lilia, a part of my body is replaced by a magical thing, not an ent.i.ty, and it seems to be able to naturally take in the surrounding magic power and convert it into its own power.
Thanks to the almost infinite supply of magic power, the rate at which physical abilities are strengthened doesn"t cannot even be compared with the rate of Beastification using only my own magic power.
When I use Divine Beastification, I become unable to check my status, probably because the powers of G.o.d repel each other, but with sensation, my abilities have increased to about five times the normal strengthening value.
Just by displaying this state, most creatures lose their will to fight to instinctual fear.
Demonic creatures* that are the very personification of violent instincts also often run away though……
「Fumu, this is the first time I have seen you make that face」
The man in front of me had a distorted smile fixed on his face.
On the contrary, he deepened the smile even more as if he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
The expression of drooping joy is intensely concentrated like sugar that has been overly condensed.
「Well, I couldn"t help myself. I was just so happy that you decided to take this seriously」
「In that case, at the very least, try not to get done in instantly okay. Otherwise there"s no point in using the power」
Kaito"s eyes appear to have sank deep into the depths of darkness. Or, I at least thought that if I exposed this power, he would choose the path of surrender due to the difference in strength, but unfortunately that doesn"t seem likely to happen.
Still, it"s not going to change the outcome. If there is one ray of hope for the opponent, it"s that they needed to have finished me off before having the chance to execute this skill. Perhaps it"s thanks to this place filled with magic power, Divine Beastification if filling my body with more power than usual.
There is no question, this is the highest vigor and precision ever.
「Now then, here I, !!」
「『Over Limit Full Over』」
In an instant, the man covered in light green light vanished.
And a metallic sound with shrillness and dullness resonates with each other.
「Ugh!」
The blade approaching at a speed with nothing like that of sometime ago, with some crazy sharpness that I would have received a few strokes of sword and not be able to respond if it was the previous exchange.
「『Flash Change』」
It was certainly a mighty single blow. However, the blow did not end at once.
「Kk, oh, ugh!」
Up, down, left, right, back, forth, he swung as if to repel each other, cut down to fall, clear away to stroke, thrust to twist, strike to turn, interpose to receive.
The trajectory of the sword approaching from all directions.
However, that was not all.
「You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what kind of trick is that……」
Each time the man before me swings his sword, the weapon he holds in his hand changes with each swing.
A single-edged long sword, big-boned large sword, black-coated knife, fleshy curved sword, sword with a crystal-like blade, sword with multiple blades, sword as long as a spear, sword that looks like a knuckle…….
Different length, different shape, different weight, different handle, different mobilization.
When I think it"s a thrust using an overhand grip, it is then replaced with a backhand grip, and when I think I have received a long sword, the combined blade suddenly changes into a dagger.
Innumerable shapes of swords, swoops down on me with edge margin optimized for that weapon.
That alone was extraordinary. I couldn"t even fathom how many pile of dead bodies he would have stacked to reach such a domain.
But even more bizarre, strange and eerie were the ways in which he utilized that power.
A sound that sounded like the agonizing sound of death was mixed in the clash of metals, and it certainly reached my ears.
――――Baki baki baki, the sound of the man"s bones crumbling.
――――Puchi puchi puchi, the sound of the man"s flesh getting torn to pieces.
「Are you out of your mind」
I could somewhat understand the logic to some extent.
