Chapter 475 – Battle #4-20, Villain #13 vs Hero Topaz (1)
Wow… !
Whii profit!!
“?!”
Right before the kukryknife splits the [Mud] Villain in half.
Hero Topaz, who was about to wield a knife, was caught by the ankle for an instant The body leaned heavily.
Villain No. 13.
He, who must have been knocked down by her knife just a moment ago, grabbed Topaz by the ankle and pulled him up with force.
Thanks to this, Topaz’s field of view is reversed, and her body falls to the floor. Got stuck and fell.
“Keugh… !! It’s really fucking awful!!”
#13 caressed the area around his neck, which was still half-recovered and was still recovering, and spat out curse words.
Issue 13 is resurrected upon his death.
Resurrection requires enormous magical energy, and in reality, resurrection does not occur unless he dies, but if the conditions are met, he will definitely be revived.
However, he is not resurrected until he dies, so he was fully conscious until the moment when his head was cut off and only his head rolled on the floor.
It can be a truly terrifying experience.
“I was hoping the medicine would go down, but it’s not like this!!”
Along with the resurrection, I feel that the side effects of the aphrodisiac have disappeared.
But in the current situation, that’s probably good.
Topaz, who fell to the floor, tried to stand up immediately, but No. 13 trampled on Topaz’s wrist and kicked the kukri knife away from his hand, which loosened his strength thanks to that.
With this, Topaz’s weapon disappeared.
But Topaz’s life and her danger are not over yet.
Awesome!!
“Kuh… !!”
No. 13 drew long cuts across his stomach and chest, then stepped back.
There were three lines on his body, large claw marks as if they had been ripped off by a beast.
“Shaaaaa…”
Like No. 13, Topaz is also an Awakener chosen by the constellation.
Just as she had covered her knife with a strange black aura a moment ago, she was now covering her hand with her black aura.
The overlaid energy formed a shape, and it became a sharp form like the claws of a beast.
There is no time to look at the eyes calmly, but the pupils are torn vertically, giving the impression of a beast.
Even from the gaping mouth, breath like a ferocious beast is spewing out…
That energy, that part of that shape, is like a dog or cat… No, it becomes like that of a ferocious wolf or tiger.
The life flowing from his body is unusual… !!
‘Danger… !!’
“Kaaaaa!!!”
All No. 13 can do is barely become the opponent’s punching bag.
No. 13 took out his favorite weapon, an anchor that was part of the 『Argo Ship』 By shrinking it.
After being reduced to a size that could barely be used as a weapon, the summoned chain anchor was wrapped around his arm by No. 13.
However, before No. 13 even finished preparations, Topaz moved first.
Not only the hands that turned into the claws of the beast, but also her feet and legs were filled with black energy, forming the same shape as those of the beast.
With her legs strengthened like that, Topaz flew straight towards Number 13, bouncing her legs like a spring to attack.
Hey profit!!
Topaz’s body approaches No. 13 at a faster speed, just like before, or even faster.
I was nervous and focused, but as No. 13 in its current state, I couldn’t react or respond to it.
“【Stop】!!!”
Tall… !!
But very fortunately.
Right in front of No. 13’s nose, this time, those black nails that were aiming precisely for his heart and flying stopped.
Topaz’ whole body stiffened as if he had looked into Medusa’s eyes.
On the other side of the hallway, there is the boss Violet, who just ran right along with the commotion, as if she was nearby.
She restrained Topaz with her magic [Sword Spirit] While shining the pattern engraved on the side of her lips.
“Kurrrr. !!”
“… !”
No. 13 broke out in a cold sweat with topaz’s ‘fingernails’ in front of her, soft enough to pierce her body.
Topaz, whose body was hardened by Violet’s magic, drools like a beast and exhales lifeless breath.
Only then do we know if brainwashing suggestions will work correctly.
“No. 13, what the heck is this—”
“Boss, please focus!”
Could it be because Violet was flustered and the power of the [Sword Spirit] Weakened?
Topaz’s body, which must have hardened, begins to wriggle.
With him.
Fuhuaaaaa!!!
The black smoke, which had covered only one arm and leg until a moment ago, burst out as if the black substance were covering Topaz’s entire body.
Woowook!!
“Khook… !!”
From the topaz covered in black mist, something reached and pierced No. 13.
It’s bizarrely long and hard, like a beast… Or, it took a while to realize that it was the tail of a monster.
Thirteen’s heart was pierced and destroyed by that ‘tail’, and she was thrown into the hallway on the opposite side of her body, Violet, while still dangling.
Cooong! Thud! Coo!!
Number 13’s body tumbled like garbage, and as if following him, the chain attached to his arm shuddered and fell to the floor.
This is the second death.
Even if he can be resurrected, how long will his mana last? .
* ***
Char…
Shaaaaa!!!
Topaz, which ended No. 13, made a sound like a beast in the middle of the hallway, scattering life to the surroundings.
Yet, yet she couldn’t stop.
She had to kill everyone she saw around her.
‘I have to kill…’
‘I have to kill… !! Kill everything… !!’
Topaz was running out of control.
He was running out of control, but the reason in a corner of his head was still cold.
The reason she became like this was in her boss, Olivia.
Just a little while ago, she got a call from her.
『Kill them all, Topaz.』
“That man is dangerous. So please kill me.”
『And kill all the humans you see around you. As you can see, everything.”
『After that――』
Topaz was clearly brainwashed by Apple and Number 13.
However, in the first place, Topaz had been brainwashed by Olivia’s hands at an even earlier stage.
The [Facility] Where she was raised and educated was originally built for that purpose.
A space that not only raises excellent Awakeners, but also instills thorough brainwashing training to give Olivia unchanging loyalty forever.
That is the identity of the 【Facility】 managed by Olivia.
Brainwashers created by Olivia by applying her magic 【Real Story】 are so loyal that they are willing to give their lives to their master, Olivia.
Only a few people can escape that brainwashing.
‘Failures’ that do not work well or do not produce proper results during growth experiments are sent on hopeless missions, and are often thrown away, facing a disastrous end.
Apple is also one of those abandoned characters, and she, who is still alive and well, is no different from an exception among exceptions.
Anyway.
So, it was Topaz who was brainwashed and controlled by #13, but… However, Olivia’s control had surpassed that of Unit 13 at this moment.
『I always prioritize Olivia’s orders over anyone else’s orders』… Called.
That’s how Olivia used [Real Story] To reinforce her command, so things like this could be seen as a natural result.
‘Let’s kill…’
‘I will kill you… !’
The only thing left for Topaz now is the will to carry out orders.
Not only her body but also her mind became more and more furious, and Topaz, who became a beast, could no longer hear anything other than Olivia’s voice.
When that happens, she doesn’t have to worry about brainwashing her opponent anymore.
‘Command.’
‘Olivia-sama’s order… !!’
With those eyes that had become like those of a beast, Topaz took her eyes off 13, which had flown far away, and looked back at the remaining two.
A member of the villain organization [Mud].
And the boss of the villain organization [Abyss].
Right now, with Topaz’s string of reason, there is no time to accurately recognize who the opponent is.
It simply recognizes them as enemies.
As per Olivia’s order, they only recognize it as a goal to kill everyone.
―Olivia-sama told you to kill everything you see around you.
―So, I will kill you.
―I will kill everyone except Olivia-sama… !!
* * *
Shaaaaa!!!
From her body, which was already surrounded by black smoke, additional black smoke erupted again.
Her body, made of black smoke, grew larger and larger, to the extent that it had already filled one of her hallways.
The length of her front and back is larger than her vertical length, so her body seems to have become six times the size of an adult male when measured.
Dealing with a monster like this is suicidal.
So, Violet made a quick decision and decided to turn her back on the monster and run away.
“Boss… ! Boss, no… !! Me… !”
“Noisy… ! 【Quickly】… ! 【Faster】… !!”
However, before fleeing, a member of [Mud] Collapsed in front of Topaz… While supporting the bow and arrow.
Violet desperately uses her magic to maximize her speed, while she tries to get as far away from Topaz as possible.
Even if she runs away alone, it is questionable whether she will be able to survive, but she runs away with a lump of luggage.
There’s no way that could be possible.
Even in a state of reasonlessness, Topaz made a sneer-like motion at that figure, and then, just as before, she gave strength to her four feet on the floor to run.
One step.
With just one jump, you can attack those two right away.
With this hugely enlarged mouth, it will bite the bodies of two people at once.
Or, with these enlarged, vicious claws, the bodies of two people could be torn apart at once.
Either way is fine.
If it were the current self who had been strengthened more than usual by Olivia-sama’s magic.
That fragile and soft body of a human being, that frail life is nothing.
Iron… !!!
Aaaaa!!!
“Wake up… ?!”
But just before Topaz runs out.
With a sense of déjà vu for some reason, her legs were pulled back.
Her body didn’t turn over instantly like it had just a moment ago, but one of her hind legs was lifted and she lost her balance.
“This… Damn… A baby boy…”
Topaz turned her head and looked behind the giant.
Standing there was number 13, which must have broken its heart and killed it just a moment ago.
His clothes, obviously, were ragged and ragged with holes in the center of his chest.
However, the body beyond the clothes was fine.
You can’t see it, but even the broken heart will be fine. Seeing them alive…
“The boss… Boss’s… Like that… I can’t give you two…”
“No… Fuck… Bastard… This… Dog…”
Number 13’s body is being repaired, with smoke billowing out from here and there, or flesh bubbling and boiling.
However, it seems that the mana has been consumed with only two resurrections, and recovery has already been delayed compared to the first resurrection.
But as if he didn’t care, Number 13 didn’t run away and stood there, pulling his chained arm even tighter.
The chain that was wrapped around his arm was, at some point, wrapped around Topaz’s leg as well, and was connected tautly as if it were a tug-of-war.
Just before being pierced through the tail and flying away, No. 13 used his hand in advance.
“Eww…”
“Uuuuu!!!”
Aaaaa… !!!
Quadduk… !! Kudo deuk… !!
Topaz’s body was pulled, starting with one of his legs.
As it is, it is pulled so hard that it makes you wonder if your legs are pulled out, and the topaz, which has become a beast-like shape, leaves long traces of claws driven into the floor to stop being pulled.
Shaaaaa!!!
“Don’t miss it!! I won’t let you go!!!!!
Topaz forgot even the prey he was aiming for, shaking his head wildly and breaking the ceiling and walls as if he would not be dragged away like this.
Thirteen continues to pull the chains holding her legs with all her might to prevent her from moving freely.
Like that.
A reckless tug-of-war ensued between the gigantic monster that had to be looked up at and Villain No. 13.
In the meantime, Violet safely leaves the other side of the hallway with the helper, and escapes from being targeted by the monster…
