## Chapter 428 – Undine, the Water Spirit
This piece-of-shit was acting all high and mighty as a water spirit, but in reality, she was nothing more than a garbage-tier pollutant, worse than factory wastewater. This kind of contaminated water only brings harm to people.
Undine was no different.
She had already drowned three villagers.
“A pest like that.”
This kind of heinous bitch should never be allowed to live.
For the sake of public justice and the well-being of humanity, I, Kim Kat, the seeker of Fusion Confucianism and the true Heavenly Demon, will gladly use violence to benefit the world.
“I will never forgive you.”
— Swish.
As I sprayed the medicine on my sword, the black blade became covered in greenish-brown dust. This, congealed with glue, would tear Undine’s flesh and take her bones.
Enchantment complete, you bitch.
With this, the preparations are perfect.
The rope is also securely tied to the cross-guard.
Since she’s located in the center of the spring, directly attacking her is limited. Should I throw the sword like a javelin? It seems I’ll have to wait for an opportunity. If she dodges or I fail to finish her off in one go, it will only make her more cautious.
She probably feels confident that physical attacks won’t work, so let’s observe the situation for now.
I need to seize the opportunity.
“I don’t know what you’re not forgiving!”
— Chwaaaararaararak.
The water of the spring began to gather in Undine’s grasp. The gathered spring water took the form of a sphere and began to rotate. She is indeed a spirit who freely manipulates water.
The sphere pulsated, reflecting her current state of anger.
Does she hate my amylase that much?
Soon, the water sphere, now in perfect form, floated into the air.
“Die, human!”
The moment Undine made a fierce expression and screamed, the sphere reacted and shot out with ferocious momentum.
— Swoosh!
“Ha.”
— Papapapat!
I immediately used the Siljang Footwork to evade the attack. The power seemed considerable, and the speed was also fast. However, it couldn’t surpass my agility and reflexes, honed through real combat.
“Too slow.”
— Paang!
The water sphere that flew behind me collided with a tree and exploded. Of course, I made sure to evade any water droplets that might have special abilities.
“Eek!!”
As soon as I completely dodged the attack, the moisture from the soaked tree bark gathered and shot at me like a beam. So, she can also manipulate water that has left the spring.
Of course, I had anticipated this much.
I was going to cut it down with my sword, but I decided to just use my fist in case the medicine flew off.
“Asura Blood-Breaking Fist.”
— Chwaak!
Water can’t break through steel plates. The water beam that came into contact with the Asura Blood-Breaking Fist turned into steam and disappeared. I easily shattered the attack and checked Undine’s position again.
— Kwaaaaa!
Before I could even turn around, a water cannon like a fire hose came flying at me.
“Hehe! You fool!”
The water of the spring itself was her weapon.
— Kwaaaaa!
Two streams of water cannon, shot from her left and right, flew towards me. Undine laughed maniacally. Is she an entity experienced in combat?
Using all sorts of techniques to distract me and even using the water cannon in a chain attack, she seems like a rather tricky opponent. But she wasn’t stronger than Naias. Naias’s icicles were literally lethal enough to pierce trees.
“Die! Just die already!”
“Humans who pollute the water should all die!”
“Why is this spray bottle so angry?”
— Heavenly Demon Descent Footwork.
I immediately stepped into the correct stance and performed a standing vertical jump in place. As I soared into the sky, the water cannon swept through the spot where I had been standing just moments before.
“He dodged…!”
Still, with that kind of power, it seems like it would deal some damage if it hit. It’s not a wise decision to tank something you can avoid.
— Kaak!
“Ptooey!”
While still floating in the air, I aimed at Undine and spat out phlegm. — Swoosh! The phlegm, flying fiercely, fell into the central part of the lake. Unfortunately, I didn’t hit her.
“Eeeew!!! You, you dirty human!!!”
Seeing that, Undine was horrified and landed.
— Papapat!
She quickly ran towards the dry ground. It seems she’s planning to soak the ground and nearby trees in this way to pressure me with a chain attack. Since she uses water itself, which can freely transform, as a means of attack, it was judged to be highly versatile.
Of course, Kim Kat, a skilled warrior, never lets his guard down.
“Dirty? My spit is water too, you know.”
“This isn’t water! Eek!!”
— Paat!
In that instant, flashes of light burst from Undine’s eyes. Has she finally activated her hypnosis magic? I recited the doctrines of Fusion Confucianism in my mind and chanted Buddhist mantras.
To think she would try to cast an illusion on Kim Kat, who even shattered Alaune’s illusion!
“Gaaaaah!!!!!!!”
— Pachit!
Of course, nothing happened. For me, distinguishing between reality and illusion is easier than doing arithmetic. Undine’s illusion didn’t work on me.
“Come here, let’s be together.”
But, believing that her illusion had worked, Undine struck a seductive pose and beckoned with her finger. She enjoys luring men to their deaths by drowning, and she’s actually doing that shit?
“It’ll feel good.”
Of course, Kim Kat’s heart cannot be moved by that level of sex appeal. I have four beautiful wives overflowing with lust, affection, and female hormones.
“U, uuu…. I, Imhotep… I… Imhotep…”
This was an opportunity. I pretended to be under the illusion and slowly walked towards the spring with my sword in hand. Did she fall for it? Are there any other attacks? I moved cautiously, paying attention to that.
— Heh heh.
“Kihit, kihihihit, come on. Come here quickly.”
The closer I got, the more Undine let out an evil laugh and began to caress her own chest.
No, that crazy bitch. There’s a legend that water spirits are lewd, and it seems to be true. What a disgusting abomination…!
— …
Finally, I reached right in front of the spring. Undine’s face was already flushed red.
“You’re scary looking, but if you’re bloated with water, you might be somewhat decent to look at.”
“…”
“I’ll devour that. Come, let’s be together forever.”
Listening to her, it seemed that this bitch was a monster that drowned humans and then ate their corpses as food. Undine was this kind of monster.
Filled with infinite malice towards humans, she was always plotting to drown people. Strength entered the hand holding the sword. A fierce power could be felt in the pulsating muscles of my arm.
— Refining the surging mana to enhance my strength.
“You fucking bloated bitch, you talk so dirty.”
“Huh?”
“You’re dead, you piece of shit.”
— Chwaak!
The medicine had already been applied. The rope was also tied to the sword. I took the stance of throwing a javelin like the heroes of mythology and, in less than two seconds, threw the sword with all my might at Undine.
— Swaaaaek!!
The black iron longsword, shot with the power of trained muscles and surging mana, flew towards Undine with murderous momentum, like a whale harpoon.
You thought you could swallow me with that illusion?
What a big dream.
“Huh…? How? My magic didn’t work…?”
Then, Undine, in a state of confusion, widened her eyes and, seeing the sword flying, hurriedly erected a water barrier.
“Eek!”
— Chwarak!
Of course, the sword, smeared with the medicine to kill Undine, easily pierced through that barrier and pierced into her torso.
— Perhuk!
“Keuhuk…! Keuheuk… Ka, the sword…? Whyyy…! Kahaaaak!!”
Undine, with the black iron longsword stuck in her abdomen, frowned and groaned in pain, dripping blue liquid from the wound. I couldn’t see any internal organs. Being a spirit, she only looked human on the outside; the inside was just a natural substance like that.
Naias also had cracks in her body when she took a critical hit.
Since she didn’t have hot blood and internal organs, she yearned for what she didn’t have and massacred the residents with an inhuman heart. What a lacking bitch…!
“Hehehe, you piece of shit. How does it feel to be a skewer?”
“Keuheueuk…! I, I can’t return to the water…!”
I immediately grabbed the rope and slowly pulled it.
“Ah, it hurts…! It hurts!!”
Undine’s body was pulled along with it. She tried to pull out my sword, but she had no strength in her arms. Spirits also seem to react sensitively to pain.
It was worth spending 2 silver on the medicine.
It seems to be deadly to spirits.
If only I could learn the manufacturing method.
“Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Heavenly Demon Moon Kick!”
I dragged Undine out of the spring as it was. It felt like fishing, and for the first time in a while, it reminded me of my childhood memories.
Father… I was happy when you said you’d take me fishing, but you set up the fishing rod and dared to use your son as an auto-clicker?
That day, I had to endlessly guard the front of the installed fishing rod while being torn apart by mosquitoes. My father lay in the tent all day and only got up when I told him, taking all the pleasure for himself.
And what I couldn’t forgive even more was that he was trying to make up for that hard labor by just cooking a spicy fish stew with the fish I caught. The fact that he took it for granted filled my small heart with anger.
“Uuuut… Whyyy…! Keuheuk!”
Undine, groaning in pain, was dragged out of the spring without even resisting.
— Trickle trickle.
The blue liquid was still leaking out. I immediately judged that this would be worth money, so I opened my canteen, emptied the water, and collected the liquid in the canteen.
“What…! Heuek!”
“Stay still, you.”
“Heuek, heueuek. Heueuek…! S, stop. Stop ittt…!”
Even these murderous bastards shrink in the face of their own death. How does it feel to be killed by the being you’ve been killing?
I punished Undine by carrying out a just judgment as per the doctrines of Fusion Confucianism.
With this, the victims will be able to close their eyes in peace.
“This bitch drowned three residents and now she’s crying? How dare you show me crocodile tears…! This can’t be mitigated!”
“What are you even talking about… Keuheuk!”
— Chureuk.
I immediately pulled out the sword that had pierced Undine’s abdomen and aimed the tip of the sword at her neck.
“N, no… Don’t do ittt…!”
Undine, sensing her death, pleaded in a weakened voice.
“Have you ever spared the people who cried out for you to spare them?”
“…”
“You probably just drowned them because you felt like it.”
The drowned bodies probably couldn’t even maintain their original shape. It must have been a truly terrible and gruesome sight.
The sorrow of the bereaved families who saw that corpse, it was indescribable.
If the loved ones saw the end of their loved ones in that state, the survivors would never be able to recover. It’s killing the bereaved families twice.
I can never tolerate that kind of thing.
Because it goes beyond insulting the deceased.
Such a thing should never happen, and that’s why Undine doesn’t deserve to live.
“This is true eco-friendly attack, you piece of shit.”
— Puk.
As I brought down the sword, Undine groaned and soon her body turned into water and disappeared. All that remained was a blue core.
— Glimmer.
It was a stone that sparkled like a jewel. This seems to be the core that intermediate spirits spit out. I quickly grabbed it and put it in my canteen. I’ll show it to Lady Risha.
“I did a good deed today.”
Maybe it’s because my skills have improved, but I dealt with it more easily than with Naias. Now, intermediate spirits can’t stop my path of conquest. Well, it’s almost as if I dealt with it in an instant. The battle didn’t even last a few minutes.
Now, let’s go find Winia and Cloudi.
I asked Winia to bring Cloudi, but somehow I ended up taking care of Undine alone.
“Winia! Cloudi!”
Did they both go a little too far?
I headed in the direction they had gone.
After moving for about 5 minutes, I was able to find them soon.
“Kat?”
“Darkie? What about Undine?”
I wondered what they were doing, and it turned out they were examining something.
Did they find something while walking?
“I ended up catching Undine alone. But what did you find?”
