Chapter 257 – Awakening (6)
Still, it seemed that even this bastard who was so disgusting had his limits.
“Ugh… This… It can’t be like this… I finally… Found… A way… To reach the secret source…”
Just like back then with the Pedo Skull, I could no longer make a voice that was so annoying… As if it was buzzing… Ringing, in my ears, so I saw a guy talking like that in a voice that was scraping metal.
It was really over now.
“Ugh, ugh…”
Pap deud deuk…
As I continued to hold it in my hand, I saw the thing that was being pressed and bursting, changing as if it was melting.
“Keeeee…”
Perhaps it was no longer possible to form a body, or maybe the one that was acting as the head had been destroyed, but small tentacle monsters were seen rolling around on the floor and screaming.
No, everything from the beginning…
Maybe it was just made up of tentacle monsters, but even as it was exploding, I could see them continuing to separate and try to escape from me.
As expected, this wasn’t real.
It seemed like he was just an alter ego made entirely of these damn things.
But it didn’t matter.
Because this bastard also needed something right now.
The liquid that those damn bastards emit when they die was dripping down from my hand.
That-
Sucked it back
“Kwiik…!”
Psik, I said.
I didn’t miss a single one of the tentacle monsters that were lying on the floor or trying to escape from me, stabbing them with their tails and sucking them up.
Slurp slurp…
A huge amount of energy flowing into me…
It was a disgusting bastard, but it was also a disgustingly strong bastard. Even though it killed one of its clones and just sucked it up, it was no joke.
I felt sick as I realized that these were the disgusting things that made up this damn bastard’s body.
But, there had to be at least this.
The feeling of omnipotence that had been building up just a moment ago had to be there, since the ‘divine assistant’ who was just a tiny bit old was already fading away.
So, after sucking it all in… Without leaving a single drop.
“Sati.”
I approached the fallen Sati.
Two, two, two, two…
I approached Sati, who was still alive.
Crunch, crunch.
Every time I took a step, even though I was a ‘divine assistant’, the strength that I had to somehow hold on was gone, so the tails and scales that made up my body all fell off in pieces.
The dragon’s scales that replaced the skin, the nine-tailed fox’s tail that replaced the muscles, and the poisonous stinger that replaced the bones were crushed and fell to the floor.
I felt like I was going to be so lost.
However, I approached Sati, who was about to lag behind me.
Go closer.
I looked at the fallen Sati.
If he had been a human, he would have already died a long time ago.
The left horn was broken and fell off, and the left shoulder was torn wide – as if there was no more blood to come out, not even blood was flowing.
In fact, Sati, who could hardly be called alive, looked at me with bleary eyes.
“Print…”
When Sati saw that I was alive, she smiled faintly as if she was glad.
The fact that this side was on the verge of being left behind was not visible to my eyes, which were already losing their light.
“Ji, Lal.”
Seeing Sati looking like she was going to die at any moment, he cursed and placed his hands on Sati’s body.
I won’t let you die.
I didn’t want to leave it like that, so I sucked that bastard out.
I ate that bastard, having the first dog fucking experience of my life.
No, I sucked it in, not ate it.
I thought that was it, but it wasn’t anyway.
What was more important than that was saving Sati.
And, I had the method.
-You mean Yeo’s racial ability… Uhm… That’s like Karura’s clan’s ‘Thousand Eyes’. Are you talking about an ability that only that clan can use?
-Yeah, that one.
One day, I asked Carmina a question.
This was because, unlike her other abilities, Carmina’s racial abilities were completely unknown.
Originally, since it was already connected to me, I had a vague idea of how to use that ability…
It was because Carmina did not fall into that category.
It’s as if it’s prohibited, as if it shouldn’t be used hastily.
So, I asked Carmina directly.
-…The abilities of the female clan, that is, the Narmer royal family, are… None in particular. No… There is, but since no one has actually wielded that power, it would be more correct to say that no one knows whether or not such power really exists… However, if it is a story in a legend, it does exist.
So, when I asked what it was, Carmina told me that her racial ability was this.
“Revival.”
The secret wish of all necromancers.
Complete revival of the dead.
Therefore, with such a clan as the pharaoh, the Kingdom of Narmer became a kingdom of necromancers.
Because the royal family of their country can bring the dead back to life.
Because there was such a legend.
If it was natural, it was a natural probability.
However, that revival… Was not an equivalent revival.
-According to legend… If you want to save one life, you must sacrifice ten heroes… A hundred noble warriors… And a thousand innocent children. Therefore, even if our royal family possesses such abilities… It is safe to say that they have never revived a person… In fact.
By sacrificing great beings who were called heroes, fighters who were called warriors, and children who were so pure, only by offering something equivalent to that price could one person be saved.
Therefore, even if all pharaohs in history had such abilities, they did not use them.
After all, only the first pharaoh, who founded the legendary… Narmer royal family, had done such a thing.
Born between a certain god and a human… The one that the Pharaoh, known as a demi-god, brought back to life by offering himself in exchange for all the above-mentioned costs… Was that Pharaoh’s child, and that child— the two members of the Narmer royal family. He was the first pharaoh.
A legend that is common, something that could be found in the royal family.
There was a legend that before his death, the first pharaoh died leaving a message to his descendants not to do such things no matter what happens in the future.
Therefore, even when he stood at the brink of destruction.
In order to revive the last remaining boy in the world where Carmina lived, who died, hundreds of lives—thousands of lives…Carmina did not sacrifice.
Although it was not a world that could have been protected by doing such a thing in the first place.
By sacrificing the subjects he was trying to protect like a god he was disgusted with…
The reason was that I had no intention of betting on something that was a legend and might or might not be real.
In an already fucked up world, Carmina at the time had no intention of accelerating the fucked up situation by only believing in the legend that might or may not be him.
-A legend is just a legend.
It was Carmina who said that to me.
But, I don’t know why, but I knew who I was now.
In particular, it was not something from legends.
It was really happening.
However, as Carmina said and according to the legend she told me, revival was only possible at a huge price.
The first pharaoh of the Kingdom of Narmer, who was a demi-god, sacrificed himself… His own blood, which had become blurred and lightened by mixing with humans, was a huge price to pay, barely enough to revive his child, who would have inherited a little of the blood of a god.
That’s why the first pharaoh warned his descendants not to do something like that again.
“Because I am not a descendant…”
I don’t know about the child between Carmina and I, but first of all, I had nothing to do with the Narmer royal family.
Even the dimension was completely different, so we were strangers without even the slightest trace of blood mixed in or anything like that.
So it will be okay.
And Sati wasn’t dead yet.
Although he was out of breath and on the verge of being overtaken, he was still alive.
So, I’m sure Carmina’s ancestor will also take care of it.
I think people will look at the huge price required to revive the dead and all that.
And just in time.
I don’t know how much I sucked, but even though it wasn’t the body that was being held by Justitia, I had sucked all the energy out of the guy who had a lot of mana.
If this is the case, it will be possible to save Sati, who is not dead… But still alive.
Squeak…
He spoke as he covered Sati’s wounds with his hands, where the flesh was falling off.
“…Wake up.”
Sooooon
“No, fuck.”
It’s so fucking sucking…?
“Uh, uh…”
Damn, it’s really fucking sucking?
“Wait for a sec…”
Just sucking the energy out of that damn bastard wasn’t enough.
“Keuuuuu…
In an instant, my energy started to be sucked out instead of the energy that was sucked out by the tentacle bastard.
What little energy I had left was all sucked away.
As a result, I ended up falling behind.
No, really.
Although this side wasn’t as good as Sati, it was in a very fragile state, and it seemed like it was really going to fall behind.
To make matters worse, the cave was trembling and threatening to collapse, either because the growling fucking tentacle bastard was behind it or because Justitia had finally shattered the dimensional barrier.
“…”
What caught my eye were the satyrs who were somehow okay during this whole mess.
Satyrs sleeping soundly and happily…
Meanwhile, if I just sucked up the mana of those sleeping satyrs, both Sati and I would be able to survive.
“Fuck, fuck.”
For a moment, he thought of something stupid and cursed at me, then poured all his energy on Sati.
I don’t know how much more I can suck in, over and over again.
What energy was missing, I poured in my own life force instead.
“I’m going to go back, I’m going to go back…”
Zuuuuuk, I could see my hands starting to get really dry along with the life force being sucked out instead of the lost energy.
It was so fucking grotesque.
Should I say instead, it seems that the effect is certain because it has the ability to revive the dead, and Sati’s wounds are seen healing quickly.
But, if things continued like this, I really felt like I was going to fall for Sati.
There was no body checker because it was already completely destroyed, but it was obvious that if it had been there, it would have turned bloody red.
This is the limit now.
If it gets any weirder, it gets really messy.
That was when I thought so.
“Cough…!”
With Sati vomiting blood mixed with crushed flesh, I saw the thread between Sati and me, which seemed as if it would break at any moment, becoming a little thicker.
It was still thin… But better than before, when it seemed like it might break at any moment.
Even on the shoulder that was completely torn off, the skin grew back properly.
The color of the skin with new growth was different from the skin without it… It seemed like it would be a bit disfiguring.
Even the broken horn did not come back.
Still…
Lived
Immediately, the energy pouring into Sati stopped.
“Fuck, fuck…”
I saved it.
Sati, you bitch…
Just like last time and this time, it’s always really hard.
What.
Still, it’s okay.
Anyway, because I lived.
Because I saved your life, fuck it.
I couldn’t hold on any longer, so I fell down.
It was already really hard, but I felt like I was going to lose everything because I had poured out all the prayers I had and poured them into Sati.
No, it’s not that I’m having a hard time falling behind, but I think I’m falling behind.
“…What should we do now?”
The reason why the clone I messed up died was probably because the real version that Justitia was dealing with collapsed rather than because I killed it.
Anyway, what is certain is that the cave is collapsing now.
Me and the three satyrs who were stuck in that cave, unable to move. And how could it be that Sati, who was on the verge of falling behind but was still seriously injured, was lying side by side.
I felt like I was screwed.
If you wait like this anyway, Justitia will come to the rescue…
I couldn’t move, but I saw a stalactite swaying above me that looked like it was going to fall at any moment.
A stalactite with a crack in the middle.
That… Looks like it’s going to fall…
“Nimi…”
Perhaps he was angry because he heard me swearing, and stalactites started falling.
Unfortunately, it was a stalactite with a very sharp end.
What should I do?
I don’t know how to do it again.
If you get caught in that thing, it looks like you’ll be skewered.
It seemed like Hanzo was going to be skewered before being rescued by her wives.
Fucked…
I could see the stalactites breaking apart.
I blinked my eyes as I looked at the stalactites that had disappeared without leaving even a trace of powder behind.
“…Really, what should I do with this motherfucker…?”
When I turned my head at the voice I heard, I saw Lilith and the wives dripping with cold sweat.
My wife and I, both of whom were breathing heavily as if they had run in such a hurry, made eye contact with each other.
When they saw me covered in sores, I saw the wives’ complexions turn red, then turn white, and then turn bright red.
“You… Go back and see.”
Lilith says this while gritting her teeth.
“…Fucked.”
What.
Why do I avoid being fucked and still be fucked?
I couldn’t understand.
