Chapter 155 – Visitors From Another Dimension (9)
“Home sweet home!”
When the light stopped, I found myself in a familiar stone wall structure.
“Senior!! It’s late, really!!”
Larry Lura was pulling her hair and focusing on something on her, then when I appeared, her face widened.
Perhaps the 10 seconds it took for me to appear seemed like 10 years. If it was me once, I would have. I was even sorry that I couldn’t comfort him saying it was over now.
“Back off! It’s not over yet!!”
─Shukkak!!
I performed a one-handed spearmanship like a master swordsman, minimizing the impact with the back roll technique. I saw a summoning circle emitting light in front of my eyes.
That’s why I didn’t squeeze out tears of emotion like rat dung at the human architecture I saw in 12 hours. You can do that by looking at your wives.
Did you mean to smash the summoning circle drawn on the floor? Can it be
I’ve only had one opponent to fight before.
─Chaeeng!!
A hairy crab-like carapace struck the spear. It was a huge hook that could hold me and Lalilura’s waist with one hand.
“──Kooooorrrrnnnnnn!!!!”
A gigantic insectoid that appeared from the summoning circle writhing like a Digimon escaping from a TV screen!
A light flashed, and the captain worm pushed out its hideous waguk from the summoning circle. It was a demonic gesture that radiated so much hatred that it made me wonder if it would be like this even if my wife and children were murdered.
Of course, things are different now.
Because here, we can use magic too.
“Avoid, Mr. Nord!! Power!! Prepare to intercept!”
At that time, Selena, who had arrived first, gave a firm command.
Wizards and archers formed formations. The sorceress shed tears and poured mana into 〈 Fire Balls 〉.
“Sergio’s enemy!! I’ll make it with hot charcoal!!!”
Oh dear Sipal. It was an atmosphere to shoot whether I was involved or not.
I don’t want to become firewood while I’m doing it like the pork that comes out as an option in the fucking beef set. I grabbed Lari Lura by the waist and jumped beside her.
“──Start the bombardment!!!”
As I dodged from the line of fire, Selena slapped her sword down like a slate.
Pop!! Kwakwagwagwang—!!
Whooooo!!
The magic and arrows of the explorers rained down on the bug kid who was trying to get out of the summoning circle as quickly as possible.
Arrows were also not an ordinary item. A magic item of wind magic that can be used in an enclosed space! It was such a merciless shelling that there was no way for me to survive even if I was there.
‘… There’s no way this is the end.’
I let go of Lalilura. Our party member, with her pink hair, kept frowning on what she was doing and concentrated, then suddenly shouted:
“Everyone, stop! I missed him!”
“——Stop!! Stop the bombardment!!”
Selena followed Ralilura’s words.
When the smoke stopped, all that was left was the magic circle that had turned into a bubble like the field where the mad cow was released. The baby bug didn’t even have a single antennae left. I clicked my tongue.
“Did it bounce again——Suck!!”
Me mumbling and rolling on the floor. Of course, Lalilura was also attached to my arm and rolled along with me.
─Booooong!!
The baby bug that flew through the wall on the side missed its target and disappeared into the other wall. He had fled before the bombardment began.
‘How does that motherfucking bastard fly while her penetrating ability is active?’
Wings pass through the air, but why does sound come out, and how to generate propulsion to fly with wings thinner than the body?
It was clear that he was fucking watching the laws of physics from one to ten. Is it that kind of magic at all?
No, what is magic? You have to hope for those who don’t even have a language system.
‘Chuck. Perhaps that is also a type of physical ability?’
Wouldn’t there be something like an organ that uses mana to trigger object penetration? Just like a dragon exhaling its breath.
I frowned and tapped Ralilura on the shoulder.
“Lalilura. Do you know where it is?”
“Anyway! Wouldn’t you know if it was infinitely far away? Please leave it to me☆!”
“Yes, leave it to me. Let’s think. When approaching, just point me in the direction.”
─Tok, tok, tok.
I tapped the window sill with my fingers, thinking over and over again.
Does that bastard have the intelligence to use hostage operations? What if I got that head, and my anger subsides, and I start figuring out how to beat me up?
He probably would have kidnapped someone else to kill me.
‘What is the limit of the penetrating ability?’
After stopping other thoughts and concentrating like that, I found the answer.
‘If you want to kill that young bug, someone else will get in the way.’
Even if Selena’s party is used as a hostage, I have no loyalty to search for her instead.
But even so, letting them die would be too damn appetizing.
‘It wouldn’t do us any good to be crowded. That bastard’s ability makes Dagul impossible.’
An unstoppable surprise attack right before being attacked!
Although we are united in one place, this battle was a one-on-one battle to prevent a surprise attack of 0.1 seconds. Even if you notice the attack of the bugs, you can only save the person next to you.
I guess you could say it’s some kind of murder dodgeball. It is bloody bloody dodgeball in that the flying crab instead of the ball is a hairy crab insect measuring more than 2 meters.
Thinking so, I pointed my spear at the wall and said to Selena.
“Miss Selena! Climb up and ask for help! If there are members of my party upstairs, call them!”
“Call reinforcements?! What about you?!”
“That monster is targeting me! While I’m blocking it, find a party of half-dwarves, mages, and archaeologists dressed as nuns! With their help, we can win!”
When I spoke appropriately, Selena pondered for about 10 seconds before answering in a firm voice.
“I will!! Never die!! I hate people who die and can’t repay their debts!! Everyone, let’s retreat!!”
At my words, Selena believes in the faintest glimmer of hope and she runs upstairs.
Maybe this is the 4th floor? Since it was obvious that no members of our party would remain, the chance of the wives coming to a dangerous place was 0%.
“Hey, old man? What did you mean when you said you could win if you had older sisters?”
─Tuk. She asked me if she had the same idea as Lari Lou, who had my back. I grinned.
“It? Just ask I didn’t have time to convince you, so I brushed off the yaburi.”
“Wow, that’s really bad. Seniors, don’t you have a conscience?”
“Isn’t that respectful? You can take an example.”
“I absolutely hate it~♡”
Larry Lura spoke in such a humorous tone and shook her shoulders a little. She was very nervous because she did not know when and where he would appear.
If the Captain Worms hadn’t gone after Selena, they would have attacked the rest of us.
I said, feeling Lari Lura’s body heat on her back.
“Hey, Lalilura. You know? The effect of the runes hanging on my spear.”
“Of course I know. Don’t you worry? If you don’t have it, you have to be satisfied with something small if it’s small~♡”
“Look at what you say. Like her cheeky little boy. It’s good. If you catch that kid, you’ll hit it with 10. The ones I caught in the other world are not counted.”
“Huh? Huh? Really? Do you really have no regrets?”
“Yes, bitch. Do you believe me?”
When I giggled, Rari Lura responded with her high tension.
“Aha♡! Are you cursing at me now? It seems like the seniors acknowledged me as someone who was easy to deal with, so for some reason I got a little bit happy too!”
“Brother. Did you have to disclose her junior’s perverted taste at this timing?”
“Why? Do you hate juniors who are perverts? A senior who only curses at close people is bad?”
Do you only curse at Fran in bed?
I thought of the objection, but I kept my mouth shut. I think this was enough because the tension was released from the small shoulders that touched my back.
… Booung.
It was time for us to shut up and prepare for an ambush. I caught the diffused, whirring sound with enhanced hearing.
Is it below or to the side like before?
Or caught off guard?
I raised the tension as much as possible so that I could counterattack from any side.
──With that strong grip on the spear, the time has come.
─Look ugh!!
Disabling the penetrating ability, a hideous hook protruded.
It was a space 180 degrees opposite to where I aimed the spear. From where Ralilura was looking, an attack that pierced the both of us at the same time was launched.
─That’s right!
We exchanged positions back to back.
I tried to use the speed as much as possible to spear it, but it was too late. One more action had to be taken, so it had to be slower than a surprise attack.
My attack missed the timing.
──If I were alone.
“Eight! This is it!”
─Whiririk! Good!
The thread of 〈 Puppet 〉 stretched out from Ralilura’s fingertips. The thread of mana wrapped around the blade of my spear, shining golden.
〈 Puppet 〉 enhanced by the rune effect supports the spear’s speed and power!
I stepped on the advance as if breaking the floor. He threw a javelin like a billiard cue stick. Orbit adjustment was omitted. My hand is there.
Matching is not my role.
“──Massay Shot!!”
─Wet love liquid!!
─Tsupuk!!
The spear, which was entwined with thread and spun like a drill, flew off and stuck in the chest of the young bug.
“──Kooooonnnnn!!!”
He stopped by grabbing the spear that had the power to cut his body in half.
Penetration ability did not activate. I guess so. He did not have such a subtle ability to arbitrarily turn on/off objects he came into contact with.
If that was possible, he could have penetrated my attack and hit me. When you caught me and flew, you would never let go.
That’s what makes it possible to fly.
Because the air that touched the wings was not permeable, that baby was able to fly.
That’s why that bastard can’t penetrate the window that touched his body.
Even after activating the ability, the spear was already digging into that bastard’s chest!
“Euuuuu… !!”
“Kooooorrrrooooo… !!!”
〈 Puppet 〉 put all her energy into it, Lalilura groaned.
The momentum of the javelin has already disappeared. All that remains is a power struggle between him and Lalilura’s 〈 Puppet 〉, enhanced with the rune of ᚨ (Ansuz)!
The conclusion is clear. Even if only Amman was strengthened, 〈 Puppet 〉 would be magic for combat. After about 5 seconds, that bastard would pull out the spear, take it away, and run away.
“The mana of lightning flowing through the sky.”
──Of course, those five seconds were enough for me.
“Become a seven-stranded nail and pierce it. 〈 Lightning Arrow 〉!!”
He jumped toward the window and chanted. 7 arrows were created on the rim of my fist.
I hit that fist on the edge of the spear.
“Grant 〈〉!!”
─Quarrrr!!
The mass of electricity that climbed up the spear pole hit the spear blade and became golden lightning and sparked. As the threads on Lari Lura’s 〈 puppet 〉 broke, her torpedo swelled in size.
“Kkkkaaaaa───!!!”
Lightning flashed brightly inside the tower. I held on to the spearhead and continued to apply the current. The small intestine worm could not resist the electric current that stirred its body and only screamed.
How can a guy who has never even seen a flash know lightning!
If he had known about lightning, he would have worshiped the sky as a god without even looking at stones.
Just like the cavemen who made Return of the Beast.
“──Kooooo!!!”
It was when the whole body of the baby bug was half-ripened, making the tough carapace colorless.
His black eyes suddenly flipped over. I was startled. Even though the smell of the flesh was piercing my nostrils, his murderous intentions did not subside at all!
“Kkk… K─KKK──!!!”
“——Fuck!”
His hand tried to grab my arm. He hurriedly canceled the ceremony to avoid a short circuit.
However, by the time the current disappeared, my wrist had already been grabbed.
A hook raised as if trying to break my head!
Even after being charred, an arm that was thick enough to break a human bone a hundred times swung at my head.
When I gritted my teeth and raised my fist to counter it.
“──Don’t touch the senpai.”
Lalilura’s low voice was heard, and the blackened hook cut through the empty space.
“… K?”
He was caught off guard, as if he didn’t know why his arm was swinging so strangely.
But I saw
That guy’s hand.
The pink mana shining in his left hand, who had grabbed Rari-Lura and brought him to the other world.
‘〈 Puppet 〉 engraved with grant magic!!’
While learning 〈 Lightning Arrow 〉, I remembered the enchantment book I borrowed.
It was also the fact that Ralilura had an unusually sharp sense of where she was.
“Hey, you are so damn cool! Ralilura!!”
“Absolutely! I’m the type of person who can’t live without being hurt!!”
It was a very believable answer. I laughed out loud and kicked the worm in the stomach.
A large crustacean that let go of my hand. The bastard groaned and tried to activate his penetrating ability, but it was impossible. Electric shocks were stirring inside my body, but there was no way I was in good shape.
“K─nnnnnnnnnnnooooorrrr!!”
“Each one of them is arrogant, about bugs!!!”
As if responding to the roar, Lari Lura shouted ferociously and pointed her hand to the ceiling.
─Quaaang!!!
A large shadow appeared as it shattered the ceiling. Lingling, dressed as a clown, descended, breaking the floor that was softer than the outer wall of the 3.5.
‘Is it the long range 〈 Puppet 〉 that Anasis wrote!’
Was it because of this that Ralilura had been focusing on from a while ago! I quickly backstepped, leaving room for 〈 magic arrows 〉 to fly.
Anyway, if she had become so proficient in her enchantment magic that she granted 〈 puppet 〉 the moment she was dragged away, there would be no way she wouldn’t have enchanted her puppet.
From the moment she returned to her ruins, she had been concentrating on her magic and summoning her own primary weapon!
“Did you avoid it if you could avoid it!!”
Lari Luragai swung her arm, revealing her teeth.
Weiyiing—! She let out a heavy mechanical sound and her puppet crossed her hands. A huge amount of mana gathered at the tips of her fingers, emitting pink light.
“〈 Emission of Radiation〉!!!”
─Kuhuaaaaa!!!
A pink laser beam ran through the passage.
Is it a magic that strengthens 〈 magic arrow 〉 with the core of the giant golem and fires it? It was so powerful that it sent chills down my spine, even though I wasn’t in the right position for that.
The output is such that even a black magician’s giant golem can hit an effective hit!
Since the bug that couldn’t activate its penetrating ability didn’t have the stamina left to avoid the lasers that filled half of the aisle, that guy was hit head-on by a merciless bombardment.
Dragonfly-like wings danced, and the bombardment of physical energy threw catfished limbs onto the floor.
“Krrrr!!!! Ooooo!!!!”
That moment when the laser beam exploded filling half of the aisle——.
“It’s too much to be hit by a laser for a bug kid.”
I dashed through the remaining half of the aisle.
The target is a spear that has fallen to the floor. There is no gap to pick up. In the meantime, my elite grandstand calculated that the chance of that bastard recovering and dodging was over 140%.
But what does that mean?
For an ultimate forager like me, the ultimate perfectionist, none of that was a problem.
──As I said, the essence of the strength of bipedal creatures is in the lower body.
Whether it’s another world Green Jammin, walking-elk, or walking-bug, it’s all the same.
Since ancient times, those who wished to free their hands have gained even powerful leg strength in exchange for back pain!
So, it was inevitable from beginning to end.
This is the last mercy our humanity, the primate of the dimension and the favorite of the universe with a far advanced civilization, will show to the foolish aliens as the xel’naga of the other dimension.
“Eagle, shoot——!!!”
I became a national team striker and kicked the tip of the javelin stick on the floor.
─Peeing!!
─Two kwak!!
The effect of the body coordination that the zergling had trained shone.
Thanks to my two-dimensional killing method, the mithril spear fired stuck in the insect’s neck. Its power was truly insecticidal, and there was no way for a mere worm to preserve its own life.
“Kooooorrrr…”
The broiled worm looked down at the mithril-adams apple that had grown around its neck. The carapace, raged by electric current and bombardment, was no help in defence.
The legs, which had sunk slightly due to the penetrating ability, floated up.
The one who failed to even run away looked at me for the last time and stretched out his hand.
─Blow up.
And finally, as if his life force had run out, he collapsed backwards.
That was the end given to visitors from another dimension.
