Chapter 1178 – Insects. Is It a Flower
“Humanity perish… Isn’t it too much of an exaggeration?”
I know roughly what the situation of mankind was like in Kaitsu’s previous life.
I haven’t seen all of his memories, but of Kitz’s life anyway. World among humans. In other words, the existence that can be said to be strong against the monsters, including demons, is Kitz and his party. In other words, it’s just the fanaticism hero party. The rest of the strong were not as strong as they are now.
At least Macchiana Reina. Poise was an exception because he played well.
Even they were not Elunars, but strangers.
Anyway. Compared to the past, mankind in this round is clearly stronger.
To the extent that it would not be easily destroyed even without the kitsune.
However, Kitz shook his head and denied my words.
“…The strength of a human doesn’t matter to that being. If Askatlov were perfect, just like we wouldn’t have won.”
“…”
Did you mention rope-chan here?
Hopefully, this phenomenon…
I’m slowly getting the hang of it, too. Something soft rode on my shoulder.
It’s so secret that even my feelings can’t catch it…
“Rope-chan?!”
Lope-chan said he would come if I told him!
Okay! My beloved Lope-chan lives in the Heart family!
I was going to touch it after I solved everything!
The moment I want to kiss my pet’s cheek, which I haven’t seen in a week. He opened his mouth
“Reincarnated person. Why is he so angry?”
“…I don’t know.”
The two seem to know something.
I opened my mouth to ask if my guess was correct.
But at that moment.
Geeying!
A blue portal opened.
This is Lenea-san’s portal.
Magical power overflows as if to ask me to come here.
“…We get into the portal. Everyone, please continue to activate the plant-killing spell on the ground.”
“All right.”
Dia nodded and looked at me, fighting! He clenched his fists and laughed briskly.
Amr also put her hands together and added her words with a worried face.
“Please go. I will do my best.”
Kits and I moved to the gate.
You can listen to the story as you go.
But… My pet. I haven’t gotten permission to enter the floating island yet…
“Rope-chan. Rope-chan…”
[Instructor Dre. Please bring Askatlov as well.]
“…I’ll always protect you! Shall we kiss?”
“Hate.”
“Speaking without heart!”
“…Eight days. Askatlov doesn’t like it.”
“No. Look. Rope-chan Ugh~”
Woo woo woo.
When I try to kiss her by force, she pushes me away with her hoof.
The feel of these hooves is hard, but there is also a soft part, so I really like it.
I stepped into the gate wrestling with Rope-chan.
Aww!! The blue airflow unique to portals was nothing special.
However, I soon felt a sense of incongruity in this ordinary portal.
Woo woo. Humming. Sounds like a bee flying. And a loud noise, like a mixture of hundreds of millions of mosquitoes buzzing in your ears.
Whoaaah-!
The sight that caught my eye right after I came out of the gate was a huge black sphere that could fit ten people.
To be precise, a number of flying insects came together to form a sphere.
I looked around.
This is the outskirts of the floating island. That is, the very end.
In front of this is the sky, so there is a barrier to prevent falling. Nevertheless, in order to prevent any accidents, it is a place designated as an off-limits area except for instructors.
There stood Ms. Lenea and my lover, reaching out for the sphere.
I see now. Renea-san was applying pressure to the sphere with the help of ‘rising’.
“What’s wrong?”
When asked next to them, Lenea-san let out a sigh.
“It’s a big problem at the point where I can’t completely control it even with my own power inside the floating island.”
I looked at the sphere and said.
“Are they dangerous bugs?”
“Each individual entity is an ordinary flying insect. However, those insects gathered to form a new law.”
Rule?
I looked closely at the flying insects.
…Inside that sphere, something is changing.
A contradictory space where tremendous heat and cold, darkness and light coexist.
I don’t know what will happen, but it gives me an ominous feeling.
“As Madora-san’s research suggests, if the anomaly proceeds as it is, a catastrophic disaster will occur that will damage not only Sers, but also the floating island that I personally protect.”
I groaned and asked.
“Can’t we get rid of the forest and the bugs?”
“It can be removed, but as you saw earlier, it continues to grow. Plants and bugs are performing a spell that does not appear, but an unknown opponent keeps giving them new rules, so they are out of the scope of the spell.”
It is similar to what the scholar hyung said earlier on the ground.
Renea-san muttered who the hell could do such a thing.
“Of course, it’s enough for me to assume that law and factor it into my calculations. Even if I don’t know about Sers, I can protect the floating island. In case of emergency, Mei-Chi-san has the power.”
What about Mei-Chi, whose name was suddenly called? Then he laughed bashfully.
…Ah. Pretty.
“Ehehe. Thank you for the compliment~”
“It’s not a compliment, Miss Mei-Chi, and Rise is really great. With the help of Rise, I can get rid of these annoying bugs just by releasing my mana. The experiment is complete.”
Also. Mei-Chi was called because he needed to rise.
“…If things go on like this, there’s no problem with the Floating Islands. But if the beings who are doing this nonsense show themselves, I won’t be able to protect all of the Floating Islands.”
“…”
Lenea-san was unusually nervous.
Sers Forest. The source of those flying insects overflowing on the floating island.
“There’s someone inside that sphere.”
At Kitse’s words, I looked at the sphere again.
As the guy said, there was someone inside the sphere.
Perhaps, what is the source of this situation?
“Unfortunately, he’s not the culprit. He’s just someone who wants to receive a prize.”
Right after Lenea-san laughed bitterly, a person jumped out of the flying insect globe.
An old man who has become old as he grows old, like rags.
He was the vice-principal of Prunar Academy and a journalist with the body of an ‘automatic doll’.
His body, which exists elsewhere, had his right arm and left leg scorched.
Barely crawling out of the sphere, he collapsed.
Woo-woo-!
That moment. A strange thing happened.
Whoops. Since I was a reporter, the flying insects that had clung to my body all tried to fly to me, and Lenea-san and Kitz freaked out and burned them.
“These guys. Are you going to Mr. Dre?”
“…Okay.”
Just as Lenea-san and Kitz said, the flying insects flew towards me relentlessly as if they were not interested in anything else.
Even though the flames are burning in front of my nose. Like a fire moth.
Meiqi stood in front of me as if protecting me.
Lop-chan stood in front of him.
…My lover and pet are watching over me!!
Effervescence!!
I was moved and said.
“Rope-chan. Don’t overdo it.”
Rope-chan can’t recklessly attack anyone as long as it doesn’t harm himself.
Powerful beings like Hardesh and the Turtle God seem to be an exception to the restrictions…
…No. Right.
Judging by the momentum, Rope-chan intends to attack that sphere if necessary, but it means that the restrictions are weak.
That worm
Is the existence beyond the bug the ‘exception’?
I looked down at the journalist.
Now that he had fallen, he held a sticky black orb in his hand.
“There were results…”
All of them are reporters with old voices and female accents.
What. Because the body is female.
He barely lifted his head and sent an expectant look at me, not Lenea.
Seeing those eyes, Lenea-san smiled and said to me.
“Instructor Dre. Excuse me, can you make his body?”
“Aha.”
Right. Did you want this and tried to find out a new fact to the point of overdoing it?
Right now, the only parts of his body that can be touched are one arm and one leg.
He whose soul entered the body of an automaton with his main body sealed. No, she longs for human senses.
To the extent that I snooped on this and that with mystical powers.
It reminded me of the incident in the past where she tried to take it away from me, and I was about to kick it as it is, but she said that this automaton looked like her grandfather. There was also a result of finding the sphere, so I endured it.
When I stared at him, the reporter couldn’t find where to put his eyes, and smiled awkwardly.
“.. Haha. Instructor Dre. Long time no see.”
“Be quiet. If you open your mouth from now on, I won’t make you.”
He is a journalist who becomes a hapjuk. I like it.
“Then, Instructor Dre. If you make the body of the Vice Principal, come directly to the principal’s office..”
“Ah. It’s over.”
“?”
How about Lena? Made a face
Reporter Yeo’s body was not only restored, but also changed so that he could feel ‘sensations’.
No. I was surprised too.
I never thought that the production of a ‘tactile body’, which used to take a lot of time, would go so quickly.
Is it because I’ve been working hard on creating artificial bodies for demonic spirits that will live in my estate recently?
Or, it may be that spirit sculpting gave me new inspiration.
Spirit Sculpting is a technique that connects memory and spirit power, and now I have used a new method of clearly recalling the memory of the touch of the body and implementing it with Ryunar and then inserting it directly into the body.
Me. Now prosthetic arm. Can I be called an authority when it comes to automail…?
A reporter who instantly gained a body that can feel the touch, oh, oh, oh…! She stretched out her limbs with her cute little scream that didn’t match the look, and she jumped up and down.
I know she’s a woman, but don’t be like her grandfather.
“So. What is that?”
That in the hand of a journalist.
In fact, I could have known without hearing the answer.
Mr. Lenea frowned as he raised his orb with mana.
“…They told me to contact you.”
Okay.
That one. It’s a communicator.
“At first, I started because I needed a new power.”
“Desperate for my own feeble power that could not be properly reached by the four major demon lords, let alone the true demon lord, I sought to gain strength from an unknown and incomprehensible being.”
“I was able to meet that existence after spending many years and going through countless trials and errors.”
“I couldn’t see the main body directly, but I was able to talk from beyond the sealed place. Fortunately, I was a being that I could talk to.”
“We have a contract.”
“I wanted to gain strength, and that existence. No. It’s a fact that I only became convinced of in this episode. What ‘she’ wanted…”
During Kitz’s story, someone suddenly opened his mouth.
“It must have been free.”
That was Lope-chan.
He sat on my lap and said it as if it were natural, and Kaitsu nodded in affirmation.
“Right. It was her freedom. A promise to set her ‘her she’ free someday.”
“In her first contract, my ability was simply lacking. During the fulfillment of the contract with her, she was put on the verge of death, and in anger, she displayed her unique power. As a result, me and the person who tried to kill me All died in the changed ‘ecosystem’.”
“I realized that her strength was insufficient to keep the contract with her, so after getting another opportunity and going through countless rounds, I made a second contract. It was made ‘immortal’.”
“It was the power I gained. Even though it was something I did myself, it was the power that made my bones resonate.”
“But even after ten years, I couldn’t release her, and she gradually pushed me and destroyed her surroundings. In the end, I couldn’t handle her contract and ran away by committing suicide in the episode.”
“The problem was my ‘promise’.”
“I didn’t know that the promise I made with her, at least by name, continued in the next episode. Realizing that I was a reincarnated person, she promised me to keep the contract to ask for freedom even in the next episode, as it seems that I won’t be able to fulfill my wish this time anyway. It was walking.”
“I didn’t keep it. The promise of the previous round ends with the previous one. It was natural common sense for me to be reincarnated.”
“But the other person was a being who made fun of common sense.”
“Her anger at the betrayal of her trust and expectations was great.”
“The world has become ‘non-life’.”
“I don’t know how it all started, but it probably started with forests and bugs appearing unreasonably, like Sers now. And the human race died in terrible agony.”
“I too, like Ziggs today, was buried in bugs and died.”
“It wasn’t just one episode.”
“Her anger was great. Many times, I was buried by insects and died, and the world… No. Humanity was destroyed as well.”
“Thankfully for her, she loosened her spirits… No, she lost her expectations of me and she relied on her promise. I never approached her again.”
“For me, who have seen so many horrific human annihilations, that name has become a nightmare.”
We finished talking about Kitz in the previous episode, and we listened to him. Miss Lena. Rope-chan. I went outside.
People who were waiting. Each hero, saint, and meichi were visible.
From now on, the reporter brought it, no. They are going to talk to the culprit of this situation with the crystal ball given by the ‘opponent’, and they will also participate in the conversation.
Among them was Ziggs, who almost died but was restored to normal thanks to Azria.
“I almost lost my life. I must know what happened and who did it.”
Ziggs growl.
His anger was justified, so I nodded and sighed.
“…I’m telling you. According to the words of the hero of the kitsu here, if you meet this being, you might be hit hard enough to interfere with your daily life from now on?”
Meichina, who inherited the spirit of a hero, would be okay with the goddess Lenea, but what would happen to the others?
“What nonsense are you talking about? It’s just a conversation over the image. Me with that Do you think you can harm the hero of the Prosperity Church?”
Ziggs was very sharp, probably because his pride had been hurt by what had happened earlier.
Other than him, they must have believed my words, and had determined faces.
What. If it’s really dangerous, then I can kick it out by force.
Still, since you’re looking through the image, not the main body… I want to believe that even a ‘monster’ will be fine.
“Then, it’s operational.”
Lenea-san glared at the sticky sphere in the glass case with a tense face.
Whoops. Hundreds of millions of defensive spells carved into the glass coffin were activated.
And, the sphere, the crystal ball work…
[Foolish.]
Voice.
That’s all.
The world changes.
Dump. Fluffy.
Ziggs was the first to faint and fall, while Amr and Horth fell to their knees, staggering as if they were about to fall.
Reus and Dia’s complexion turned as white as a sheet of paper, and cold sweat dripped from their faces.
Without exception, Garcinido and Kitz all turned pale.
The sphere disappeared without a trace, and instead was a black mirror. Or something that looked like a portal appeared in front. Upon closer inspection, it was created by a colony of insects.
Inside that portal. I could see the shadows swaying beyond the mirror.
Someone whose existence cannot be confirmed because of his tremendous power.
When that figure appeared, even Lenea-san couldn’t handle it.
[They say he’s the strongest mage, but he competes with the quantity of defense techniques, not the quality. Did you think it would be possible to push through numbers ignorantly?]
Lenea-san finally responded to the teasing voice.
“…I saw that your authority eats up mana itself. Any high-level magic spell will disintegrate in an instant, so I increased the amount… Oh, this spell. If you don’t break the magic circle in front, the magic circle in the back will I made it into an indestructible structure, but it didn’t mean anything to you.”
Lenea-san, who looked bitterly at the magic circle that had been eaten away by insects in an instant, widened her eyes.
Coo-goo-goo-!
Close to divine power, Lenea-san’s unique Ryunar spewed out.
As the owner of a floating island. And as a goddess. It is to oppose the ominous goddess beyond.
Thanks to that power. An unidentified shadow began to clear.
[Aha. Is it okay?]
A voice that seemed to see something cute despite confirming the power of this incredible magical goddess.
After confirming her appearance, Kitz murmured.
“As expected, is it you?”
Rope-chan narrowed her eyes and glared at the existence on the other side of the screen.
That existence was a huge insect.
An absurdly ominous and hideous monster that exudes grotesque and incomparably intense power.
No. King of monsters.
Monster king
The monster king looked straight at me and said, “I am not a hideous being who can easily create an ecosystem in which living things cannot live.”
[I really missed you. Eight days.]
“Mmm.”
I said with a wry smile.
“Aren’t you calling me too coldly? Lenia.”
Okay.
In front of me are eight monster kings. My name is Lenia.
He was the king of monsters called ‘Amura’, an ecosystem of immortality.
