Chapter 169 – Sanctuary of Birth (3)
The word panic seemed to appear on the face of the chimera-like monster that saw me not even nodding to its attack.
That’s the same for me too.
The strongest demon in this monster’s body, made by tying together demons, is a level 95 Hydra, but I don’t know why, but it doesn’t seem to have the original power of a Hydra.
The size also feels slightly reduced.
Now in front of me, the head of the hydra and the tentacles of the spider are stuck in front of my sword and are trying to push me, but my body is not pushed back even one step.
Not only defense but also strength has increased tremendously thanks to 〈 God’s Blessing 〉.
“W-what are you doing? You’re not defeated by the chimera I created?”
When I turned my head toward the sound, the black-haired man must have come to his senses and was leaning against the wall, looking at me blankly with his mouth open.
It’s amazing to me that I can deal with such a monster, but how amazing would it be to a third party?
Of course, if it were my character, I would have defeated it without being attacked.
That man has come to his senses, so we need to catch him before he escapes.
There are a lot of things to ask the dark-haired man at the moment.
I decided to focus on this battle to take down the Chimera quickly.
First of all, I have to get out of this situation where they are trying to push me away with the hydra’s head and the spider’s tentacles.
The moment I thought that, the Chimera’s Dryus head opened its mouth and flames appeared in front of its mouth.
It looks like he’s probably trying to use one of the Dryus patterns, which is spitting fireballs.
Since I couldn’t just hit him like that, I relaxed my grip on the sword I was pushing and turned to the side.
Then, the head of the Hydra and the tentacles of the Spider that were in contact with me passed by me due to the force of inertia.
When I saw that, I raised my sword and slashed with all my might.
Suddenly!
Bang!
The results were so surprising that it gave me a sense of futility.
The sword I brought down easily cut through the hydra’s neck and the spider’s tentacles, as if cutting through clay.
Despite the presence of solid skin, muscles, and bones, my sword passed through them with great ease.
And the moment I hit the ground, the ground cracked with such a loud sound that I couldn’t believe it was what I made.
Ah… After receiving the buff, I’m getting stronger like this.
“Kwaaaaah!?
As the Hydra’s head and the Spider’s tentacles, which were its arms, were cut off by me, the Chimera screamed in pain.
I saw the chimera writhing in pain and immediately ran towards it.
It was important to defeat it quickly rather than bothering it by fusing with another invisible demon.
Even I closed the distance to the chimera surprisingly quickly, and I immediately jumped and swung my sword to cut off the head of Dryus, which was supposed to be the chimera’s head.
Suddenly!
The chimera, who was distracted by pain, was decapitated by my sword before he could even recognize me approaching quickly, and Dryus’ head fell to the ground.
I didn’t stop there and ran towards the chimera again.
One of the main characteristics of these monsters is that they do not die even when their heads are cut off.
Since it was not a normal creature, I thought that there was no guarantee that it would die simply by cutting off its head, so I strengthened my hand holding the sword to swing the sword frantically at the chimera’s body.
At that moment, an unknown flash passed through my mind.
The moment the flash passed, I couldn’t tell what it was, but I surrendered myself to the flow and my body began to move with the sword raised against my will.
Although I was swinging the sword, the sword cut down the chimera so fast that even I couldn’t believe it, and the chimera’s body was cut into chunks of meat by my sword.
In just a few seconds, I swung my sword at least 10 times.
It was so fast I couldn’t even count it.
And it was hard to believe that I could swing a sword like this.
This… It’s hard to say that it’s possible simply with Freya’s buff.
This might be… If I’m thinking right, that’s it, but I’m not sure yet.
From my experience so far, every time I summon my character, my abilities increase.
That ability was to be able to implement the functions in the game Elion with my own body.
What was first implemented was probably the inventory, which allows game items to be placed in other, invisible spaces, and the whisper, which allows one-way speech to be conveyed to my character regardless of distance.
Then, I was able to use the raid skills 〈 Time Stop 〉 and 〈 Dash 〉, and next, I was able to use the 〈 Return 〉 skill, which allows me to move to the area I want regardless of time and place.
Then it seems like the game system was just applied…
I don’t know why I can’t use the game system.
Well, it’s not normal for me to come to this world and summon characters in the first place, so there’s no need to worry too much, right?
The being who can give the answer to this is probably Gaia, but the last time I asked about the game, Gaia responded that she didn’t know.
Since I asked in passing, I don’t know if the response was genuine, but I think Gaia probably has this answer.
I left the chimera, which was instantly reduced to a piece of meat, and turned my head towards the black-haired man who had been pinned to the wall earlier.
As soon as the guy saw me taking down the chimera, he was up and running, trying to get away.
Surprisingly, that guy doesn’t seem to have fused with Demon.
There would have been two options left for that guy, one would be to run away from me like he did now, and the other would be to attack to take me down.
And in both cases, it is more advantageous to increase one’s physical abilities when fused with a demon, so if he had fused with a demon, he would have transformed long ago and taken some action, but now there is no sign of that happening at all.
I’m just running without looking back.
When I saw that, I immediately ran over and grabbed the fleeing guy by the neck.
“Ugh! Sa, please save me!”
What is he saying now?
The moment he realized that he had been captured by me, the words “Please help me” Came out of his mouth.
“Well, I was locked up here because I was threatened! My wife and children were taken hostage and I was forced to do research here! Please, please save me!!”
If I hadn’t seen what this guy was doing through the vent hole, I might have thought about believing what he said.
But I saw it clearly with my own two eyes.
The image of this guy laughing as if it’s fun while fighting and killing people who can’t resist his words as if they were toys still appears before my eyes.
I hate this kind of garbage.
I immediately hit him hard in the stomach with my fist.
Puck!
“Cough! Ugh… Cluck, Cluck!”
The guy who got hit in the stomach by me fell to the floor, gagging and crawling on the floor.
“I adjusted my strength just in case. I have a lot to ask you. Don’t think about talking nonsense and answer me straight. If you think about anything else, your body will immediately turn into something like that.”
I said, pointing my finger at the chimera I had just made from a piece of meat.
“Cough! Ugh… What are you…”
Slap!
I immediately hit this guy’s cheek with my palm.
“Ugh… Cough! Ugh…”
I thought I had control of my strength, but it seems like it wasn’t the case for this guy.
The guy who got slapped by me spit out blood from his mouth, and there were a few pieces of yellow teeth sticking out.
Of course, I don’t feel any remorse after seeing this.
“I told you not to talk nonsense, right? I’m the only one asking questions. You just answer. Understood?”
The guy nodded frantically, covering his sore cheek and stomach with his hands.
I feel like I know full well what will happen to me if I don’t listen.
Okay, I caught someone to ask about this… Strangely, there was no response from the girls waiting outside.
I think he clearly whispered to me to come inside, but why is there no response?
Could it be that another enemy has appeared?
I once again tried to whisper to the girls outside.
‘Lien, Rhenia, Freya, Yuria. First of all, the enemy inside here has been subdued. You can come inside.’
After sending the whisper, I looked at the tightly closed iron door, but there was no sign of it opening.
Why? If they were them, they would have definitely broken through the iron door and entered the moment they heard my whisper.
I’m sure the girls, who were worried about me even going into the vent alone, would have reacted right away the moment they heard my whisper, but now there’s no news.
“Hey, how do you open that iron door?”
To join the girls outside, I asked the black-haired man holding my hand how to open the iron door.
“Uh… Well, if you pull the lever over there, it will open…”
The guy was still trembling from the pain I gave him, and he raised his hand and pointed to a place.
When I looked at the place he pointed to, there was a long pole stuck in the ground, and it looked like it could move when pulled.
“If you’re talking nonsense, I’ll kill him on the spot. Come here.”
I grabbed his head and dragged him towards the lever.
The guy groaned in pain from his pulled hair, but I ignored him and dragged him away.
And then I pulled the lever in front of me with my free hand.
Grumble!
Then there was a loud sound at the iron door, and the tightly closed iron door began to move.
