Chapter 773 – #6-21 Trust Me, Just 10 Minutes (4)
“Ugh… !?”
Something creepy ran across my skin for a moment.
Spade’s body automatically reacted and jumped back.
Check: Likewise, keep your distance and watch out for enemy fire.
Jeokhwa is staggering and trying to steady himself.
At first glance, it seemed full of gaps, but the terrifying energy surrounding its body did not allow any approach.
The moment you get closer.
It felt like his neck was going to be bitten off.
‘The horns… It has grown.’
Apparently, the horns are bigger than before. The horns, which were asymmetrical, are now somewhat symmetrical on the left and right.
Moreover, it was not just the shape, but also the strange energy gathered in the horn.
It seems to have been made by condensing blue flames, and it seems to be burning more and more fiercely… In Spade’s eyes, it looked like that.
Is there something to do with the change I feel in her now?
Spade focused on analyzing the status of the red fire while selecting her magic power.
Then she suddenly felt uncomfortable and looked back at her weapon.
There was a crack in the tonfa that had been blocked by the enemy a while ago. The fragments fall as if they are about to break apart at any moment.
It was further strengthened with magic power, and in an instant, it became like this.
Spade tensed her body even more, discarding the tonpa in both of her hands and holding her two batons in each of her hands, which were fastened to her belt with a belt.
“Haaaaa… “Isn’t it a bit playful?”
“Sigh,” Jeokhwa spat out the blood that had accumulated in her mouth.
Her appearance has become a mess due to the many things she has suffered, but despite this, her mouth is smiling as if she is relaxed.
No, it’s not just a relaxed laugh.
Like a girl in love… No, it’s a face in ecstasy, as if under the influence of drugs.
“But it was a good thing I fell now. If I had stayed there, I would have probably died without even knowing what was going on. That’s not possible. It almost stopped being fun.”
“Well said. Just a little while ago, I thought I was going to die and exploded.”
The goblin retorts to Jeokhwa’s words as if her check is absurd.
However, she also knew that it was not just a statement of bravado.
That much dangerous energy is currently flowing around Goblin Jeokhwa.
“Hehe, hehe! I see. Is that so? That’s possible. Isn’t that what fighting is originally about? Beaten to the point of death, beaten to the point of death… Isn’t that what it is called a fight? Ah, that’s good. A shock that resonates in my bones. Ah, I like it. Thanks to you, I know I’m alive. It’s a perfect experience. Oh my god. “I seem to like you guys.”
What are you talking about? And why on earth is he making such a happy face?
I can’t understand at all. As they confronted Spade, his face and voice gave him a chill in a slightly different sense than before.
――――!
While the check and spade were at a distance, the club’s bullet flew in, targeting the defenseless enemy.
Once again, two bullets fly in a complex and confusing trajectory, aiming for the enemy’s neck and head, respectively.
“In moderation.”
The bullet in the direction of Jeokhwa’s eyes stopped floating in the air.
The other bullet bounced off the back of her swinging hand, as if swatting away an insect.
There was no need to sign prisoners and build barriers like before.
With just a glance or a light hand gesture, the club’s desperate strike becomes useless.
“Isn’t a fight something where you show your face and hit and hit each other? “Please do these trivial tricks in moderation.”
“It was fun at first, but it becomes no fun when it’s repeated this much.”
I can’t possibly win.
Spade had an intuition that the enemy was facing him.
“Now, it looks like you guys want to play around a little more.”
“I guess I’ll follow your wishes and play a little more. “I really, really like playing.”
With those words, the bat in Jeokhwa’s hand was lifted loudly.
“【Lightning, lightning】!!”
Then it fell towards the floor.
A bat hitting the floor with a loud roar.
A radial spider web-like collapse and intense impact spreads from the floor where the bat hit to the entire room.
What was spreading was not just a shock wave like intense pressure pressing down on the body.
A streak of fierce lightning spread loudly around the red flower and the bat.
“Ha, haha,”
Haha!!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Kwaang!!
Not just once, but continuously.
The goblin Jeokhwa swings the bat in his hand back and forth, destroying the floor, nearby objects, rolling waste materials, walls, and all kinds of things to his heart’s content.
Every time, a strong shock wave and lightning rush through, creating a loud shock that feels like a bombing attack.
Numerous sounds of destruction are heard. A terrible roar is heard. The building shook as if it would collapse at any moment.
Gwarrrrgh!!!
“Kyaaaaa!!?”
The lightning struck Spade’s body directly. The magical light that protected her body was stripped away by a single bolt of lightning, sending a strong shock deep into her body.
I get swept away. I am swept away by a shock wave. I am swept away by the rushing lightning.
All kinds of waste materials, steel plates, screws, and nails are flying around. The wall collapsed and something fell from the ceiling.
Storm.
It’s like a disaster wrapped in lightning, sweeping through the space to its heart’s content.
“Aha, ahahahahahaha!!! Let’s play! Let’s have more fun!!!”
The excited red flower continues to move as if dancing.
A bat is swung in her hand. A terrible storm and lightning, like a natural disaster, spread ceaselessly throughout the abandoned factory.
* * *
And――
“Is it over now?”
As if her excitement had not cooled down yet, her face turned red, and she looked around.
The surrounding area was completely devastated.
The floor was destroyed here and there, the wall collapsed, exposing the space next to it, and all kinds of materials and objects were strewn about in a mess, as if they had been completely turned over.
The Cocona Club, which may have been hiding somewhere in this place, will not be safe.
I had to use hallucinations and illusions to hide myself, because it would have been meaningless when the entire space was swept away.
“It really seems like it’s the end.”
Jeokhwa stood alone in the middle of the devastated scene and exhaled, haha.
Little by little, the excitement in the body subsides.
It calms down the heat of battle and the fun that was just moments ago.
However, as the area where the spade hit a little while ago started to hurt, I felt the excitement that had subsided rise again.
It was good a little while ago. It was perfect.
I felt like I was alive. He felt like he was fighting.
As a demon, there was no purpose for her to live.
Since they cannot be destroyed on their own, they continue to live with the souls bound by blood, moving the bodies of their descendants from place to place.
I live because I cannot die. It feels like that.
If there is any meaning for her to live, it is only entertainment.
She enjoys fighting, pleasure, and trampling on humans.
That is the only meaning of her life, and it is everything that makes her, her goblin, her enemy.
That’s why I was very grateful for the presence of Spade, which made the fight feel real.
Thanks to this, I felt a moderate sense of crisis. Thanks to this, I felt the real sense of a proper fight.
The other heroes were great, but I was able to enjoy them perfectly because of Spades.
Whoosh!
“…”
At that moment, something flew out of the square.
Jeokhwa was alone in his excitement and defenseless, but he did not even see the blow from a blind angle and only raised one arm to block it.
What flew in was a familiar iron bar.
The hand of Jeokhwa casually accepted a blow that would have crushed steel and broken it into pieces.
“What? Did you endure that earlier? For a human being, he is quite a talented person.”
The one who attacked the enemy was Chek, who seemed to have withstood the storm from earlier.
“Tsk… ! How… !”
“It was useless in the first place… Anyway, I will praise you for enduring it.”
Jeokhwa narrowed her eyes and looked at Check.
It seemed like he had somehow withstood the bombing a while ago, but he never seemed fine.
His breathing was rough, his entire body was covered in wounds, and one leg was so messed up that he could no longer use it.
In this state, a quick battle like before would be impossible. Then there is no point in fighting anymore.
“It was fun. So don’t kill me.”
After she declared, Jeokhwa’s foot was lodged in her check’s abdomen.
Her body was blown away like a cannonball and buried noisily among the mangled wreckage.
The debris, which had been precariously overlapping with each other, now loses its balance due to the impact, and falls further on Check’s buried body…
‘Okay then.’
The heroes of the 7th Division, who made her happy in their own way, will not be killed.
You might say that he didn’t try to kill me just a little while ago, but there’s nothing strange about it.
As her goblin, she values her pleasure. To be more precise, she is the type of person who does whatever she wants.
She no longer wants to kill, so she doesn’t kill. It was just a story.
And I think it would be good if I become stronger and make it fun again in the future.
But.
But that doesn’t mean you can save everyone.
“Let’s see… Huh?”
Fighting, knocking…
From a little distance away.
After pushing away the rubble, someone is standing up in tatters.
Red hair. A large spade-shaped tattoo on her face.
Her girl, who had made her so happy unexpectedly, is standing up again.
How far are you going to make her happy? This is a girl I really like.
‘I have to kill you right here, you’re such a wasteful girl.’
I plan to save the other heroes. But I can’t leave that girl alone.
It’s not a matter of whether she wants to do it or not. Her instincts are just telling her to do so.
Her instincts as a goblin are telling her to immediately strike down and kill the entity that is her opposite.
Ha… Ha…
“Well, I do feel sorry. It’s something that can’t be helped. Isn’t that what fighting is all about? If you’re strong, you can do anything, but if you’re weak, you can’t achieve anything. If you are weak, you cannot get what you want, and if you are weak, you cannot even protect your life. … So, if you want to complain, die complaining about your weakness.”
Spade has bruises and cuts all over his body, and is breathing heavily while covering his bleeding arms and legs.
Towards such a spade, the enemy slowly advances step by step.
As if the reaper’s steps were getting closer, Red Flower’s feet were pointing towards her spade.
There are only a few steps left until the death of a spade――
