Chapter 176 – Creating a Harem (4)
I wasn’t that hungry already, but after eating the whole big sandwich, I felt like I was going to explode.
But I couldn’t make the choice to leave it behind.
Anyway, the leftover dessert after eating until my stomach was full… It’s funny to even call this dessert.
Anyway, my body felt unusually heavy after taking the strangely grown eel for dessert.
No, I didn’t just feel it, I actually did it.
I felt unrefined energy throbbing wildly within my body.
Like an angry bull, the energies are attacking various parts of my body and trying to escape.
Unlike the things I usually enjoy, such as Mandragora, Werehoneybee’s honey, Ariad’s sap, or Wearhoneybee’s royal jelly, I thought this was really an elixir.
Is this why, no matter how rich a person is, it is impossible to become stronger by drinking elixirs?
Unless he or she had some level of ability, he or she would drink an elixir without knowing how to use it, saying it was good for the body, and then get crushed by the energy of the elixir he had consumed, and it seemed like he would ruin his body.
But whatever.
Wooooo…
He captured the turbulent energy of the inner circles and suppressed them.
The energies rebelled against me and became more and more turbulent.
Still.
Press, press, press.
I suppressed it so that I couldn’t move.
And sucked it in all at once.
Level drain.
The ability of the succubus, a race that lives by absorbing power itself, is the most outstanding among all martial arts techniques that exist in this world, any mana refining method, and all other things of one kind or another. There was.
It was also a level drain received from Lilith, the succubus queen.
No matter how much my energy fluctuated, there was no way I could withstand it being suppressed and sucked away.
I couldn’t believe how much it had absorbed, and I could feel the energy starting to disperse without even being able to form any more.
Is this it?
This is why it is said that no matter how excellent the mind technique is, it is almost impossible to completely absorb all the energy contained in the inner altar or elixir.
The energy that got smaller and smaller eventually became so small that I felt like it was trying to be contained within my body and just disperse without anything to do.
But even that had nothing to do with me.
“Huh…”
If the level drain of a succubus is that absorbing energy is incomparably superior to any other ability.
When it comes to manipulating energy, the fox youkai is unrivaled.
It was an ability possessed by the nine-tailed fox.
A fox youkai who is good at storing energy by dividing it into fox beads and tails and taking it out whenever he wants.
And among those fox monsters, I had the ability I got from Hoaran, one of the twenty-two heroes, the most powerful nine-tailed fox named Cheonho, and one of the twenty-two heroes.
All energy that is about to scatter and disappear is captured again and sucked back into the level drain.
Grasp, collect, suck.
Everything, nothing left.
At best, they were the inner altars that Hoa-ran bought with me in mind.
Absorbed everything, leaving nothing behind.
“…Really, should I get you some martial arts skills from somewhere?”
Hoaran said as he muttered that while looking at Hanzo, who was absorbing all of Naedan’s energy by using the abilities of the two races, the succubus and the nine-tailed fox.
“Something that is half-baked is better than nothing.”
“That’s right.”
As many worlds were merged, there were many martial arts skills in this world.
Among them, there were many that were said to be magical or magical, but in his opinion, they were all just there.
No matter how advanced and advanced they are, they are martial artists.
So, it is said that among them, there are those that are so outstanding and excellent that they are given grandiose names such as new skills or something.
All of them were just things that were not noticeable.
From the beginning, the worlds where martial arts developed were mostly made up of humans.
There were sometimes worlds where monsters and other things, youkai, and some of these races coexisted, but they were very few.
Most of them were just things created by humans to deal with humans.
Numerous races born strong by nature…
For many races with claws and super strength that could cut through rock or steel, martial arts was not particularly attractive.
At best, martial arts was developed only in a world where ordinary humans could not even break a small pebble, much less steel.
For Hanzo in the past, this would have been quite useful, but for Hanzo, who is now able to freely use the abilities of various races, adding even a trivial amount of martial arts would only be detrimental.
“Hanzo feels the same way as me.”
Although it was still not enough to really compare to myself.
Hanzo also had a strong tendency to fight just by relying on his senses.
The type that relies on innate sense and talent.
Even though he was born in a world without mana, he had an excellent mana-friendly body that was innately equipped with the conditions to create the gift, and he had muscles all over his body that he had not been able to properly nourish until recently, let alone training. It was clear that Hanzo would not have been an orphan if he had been born in a world rich in mana.
Even if he had been abandoned, it was clear that he would have caught someone’s eye, quickly built up a reputation, and become something worthy of being called a ‘hero’ in the world.
It seemed like he didn’t think that way at all.
It was inevitable because I lived my whole life in a world without mana.
But the talent was clearly there.
Even though it was a coincidence that there was help from the gift that turned him into a deformed person, the growth that was expected to take three years was achieved in just a few months, so it could not be said that he had no talent.
In other words, he was a genius.
This type often grows faster if you just leave it to its own devices.
It has always been like that.
“…What about the Heavenly Demon? Wouldn’t her martial arts skills be a match for Hanzo?”
“Not that bitch. Never.”
He flatly refused Ho A-ran’s words.
“Well, I guess the Heavenly Demon is a bit like that.”
Hoaran also said the same thing to me and nodded, perhaps because he had just said it before.
“Who is the Heavenly Demon? “The name is very arrogant.”
And upon seeing us like that, Carmina tilted her head and asked.
“Hmm…”
Since Carmina has only recently come to this world, it is natural that she does not know the name of Heavenly Demon.
She is one of the twenty-two heroes, and even more so, she does not know what to explain about Cheonma, the only ‘human woman’.
So, after much thought, she opened her mouth.
“…There’s just a bitch in a bad mood.”
It would probably be the most appropriate way to refer to her Heavenly Demon, her self.
A created genius, a created divinity.
So I felt bad.
Perhaps she thought of it that way because she was a divinity created by the dimension itself.
The created divinity was something that was absolutely disgusting to a being like me, a transcendent species born from a dimension born with the right to attain divinity by nature.
But that wasn’t the only reason, there was another reason why that bitch Cheonma couldn’t do it.
Maybe…
If that bitch finds out about Hanzo, it won’t look very good.
That bitch who pursues something she doesn’t even know if it really exists, whether it’s the completion of nothingness, and who blindly follows it because she was created that way even though it wasn’t given to her because she wanted it, was, in a sense, worse than a fanatic.
“…Let’s give up martial arts.”
That bitch was holding on tight, so it was clear that no matter how secretly she sought it, it would eventually get heard.
Considering what would happen in the future, it would have been better if Hanzo became stronger… But since it wasn’t urgent right now, I decided to just wait and see.
“Rather than that, this is enough for everyone, right?”
When I asked that question for confirmation, I saw everyone nodding their heads and looked at the things that Hanzo had briefly organized while he was consolidating Naedan’s energy.
“As expected, this seems a bit lacking, but it can’t be helped.”
Since it’s still very weak, we’ll have to look at it like this.
As soon as I gathered all my energy and opened my eyes, Lilith said she had something important to say, so I adjusted my posture and sat down.
What do you mean, something important to say?
It wasn’t that nothing was expected.
Lilith had some important things to say to me.
But why is everyone gathered together and listening?
I was a little skeptical, but I thought it was because my work was also her work, so when I saw Lilith, she said to me,
“First of all, Hanzo. “I’ll meet you with the branch leaders in two weeks.”
“In two weeks? “Is there anything then?”
“It’s not any day in particular. It’s just… It’s the only time we can all get together. Because everyone has other things to do besides their job as branch leader. “The closest time we can all get together is in two weeks.”
Branch leaders.
I was a bit confused as I was going to see the managers who manage the dispensers all over the world.
It felt strange to think that I had come this far, having been worrying about whether or not to jump into the Han River while checking the water temperature not long ago.
“So, what should I do when I go? Are you taking a test to become a branch leader?”
To be honest, I still have a long way to go to succeed Lilith.
I didn’t even want to go that far.
At first, I thought it was the branch leader who was doing it first, so I asked that question, but Lilith tilted her head and said.
“What test? “I’m just meeting you because everyone wants to see your face.”
Why do they want to see my face?
What is there to see?
As I thought about that, a story I heard from Lilith before came to mind.
Come to think of it, most of the branch leaders were succubi who followed Lilith.
I remembered that there were some cases where they were not succubi, but that was a very small percentage and most of them were succubi, especially high-level succubi.
And Lilith is the highest ranking succubus, the succubus queen.
When I looked at Lilith like that, Lilith, who was scratching her cheek, spoke.
“I tried to refuse, but you kept pestering me… So if you don’t like it, you can refuse.”
“No, I’ll see.”
There wasn’t anything special going on that day, and seeing as Lilith couldn’t just refuse them, it seemed like they were important people to Lilith, so I was able to show their faces.
It’s something we might see often in the future.
If I did well, I might be able to hear Lilith’s old stories.
I can’t stand stories about Lilith’s childhood.
If I found out about even one weakness, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to make fun of him.
Lilith, who had no way of knowing what I was thinking, nodded at my words.
“Okay, then you know that. “Now then, let’s get to the point.”
“What, wasn’t this an important story?”
“What’s important about this?”
It’s important… Isn’t it?
Anyway, I wanted to talk about something important, and Lilith presented something to me.
I was curious about something, so I read what Lilith had presented me, but then stopped.
“First of all, we talked about it among ourselves and made a plan. How about you?”
I looked again at the paper Lilith held out… It had a lot of schedule written on it.
I looked at it for a while.
This…
Important story?
No, it’s important.
If this happens…
When are you telling me to rest…?
But thanks to this, I was able to understand why everyone was listening to what Lilith said was an important story.
“Um, you put this all together?”
I looked around and at everyone surrounding me and asked that question.
Lilith nodded to my question.
“It was a bit difficult to coordinate all of this, but I roughly understood everything.”
Did you understand this…?
“…Okay.”
First of all, I knew everyone’s opinions well.
Really, very well.
So, he crumpled up the plan and stuffed it into his mouth, which clearly looked like he was trying to kill me.
