078 – Stray cat or house cat # 1

Paang, Paaang-!

Every time Apostate Monk Mara’s fist extended, the air exploded.

His fists were as hard as a mace, and his body was like iron.

“… Judas, is this your strength?”

Mara’s fighting style was a one-sided attack that gave up defense.

Just as his brother-in-law, Enkidus, reached the level of indestructibility, Mara, the apostate monk, must have believed in the superhuman durability of his body and focused everything on the offensive.

Whoops, whoops-!

His fist grazed my cheek.

Even when I hit the air next to my ear, the sound of something like a tungsten rod being smashed made my ears thump.

If something like that hit my face, it was clear that my head would turn into a donut with a hole in it.

One of the strongest opponents I’ve ever met.

The impression I had upon seeing Mara was very accurate.

however.

Even though it was covered by a mask, I could feel the impatience in Mara’s attitude.

pat-.

He distanced himself from me and lifted his leg high.

The legs, stretched flexibly enough to reach the ceiling, rush toward the floor with superhuman strength.

“Maragun Limbo.”

It was a destructive technique no matter how you look at it.

It should be as powerful as a falling meteor.

If something like that touches my garden, everything will turn upside down.

“My house, don’t break it.”

I pushed the top of my foot in just before his foot touched the ground.

Kwaaang-!

There was a huge explosion, but fortunately there was no collapse of the ground or overturning of the garden.

Pot-!

Instead, Mara, who was blown away by the shock, tumbled across the flower bed.

After quickly waking up, he seemed to straighten his posture, then looked at his hands and fists.

“… My attacks never hit me. It’s the first time I’ve felt helpless like this since I became a superman after crossing the wall of the realm… .”

His voice was low and melancholy.

Since he was also wearing a mask, it was so dark and somber that it felt like the atmosphere at the party was ruined in an instant.

Of course, he asked as if it was okay.

“Why didn’t you attack? Power enough to defeat the mad wizard Sabrnak and steal the vessel. Show me.”

It seemed strange that I didn’t attack him.

That’s right, I didn’t fight back against him, I was just concentrating on defending and evading.

The reason was simple.

“You are a bit stronger than I thought.”

Mara, the Apostate Monk of Illumination Ascension, was strong.

Indeed, Enkidus pursued him and made it to the faraway Phrygia.

So I didn’t attack him.

At first glance, it might sound like something like, “I couldn’t even use a hand because of his strength.”

What if similar?

Mara.

If I catch that guy, I will definitely level up.

If I level up right here and now, I’ll lose it in many ways.

That’s why I didn’t attack Mara.

I promised you in the first place.

“Enkidus, how long will you be locked up? At this point, isn’t it time to wake up? Are you dead?”

I shouted at Enkidus, who fell into the collapsed table.

Then he made a pot and bounced up like a spring and got his posture right.

“I just meditated for a while. There is nothing like meditation to sober up. Judas, the little monk will take care of the rest.”

Enkidus jumped out and confronted Mara again.

old death penalty.

The moment the two confronted each other and created a tight tension again, Mara spoke first.

“Enkidus, your strength is limited to the rising of the sun. There is no way you who follow the doctrine of the sun can defeat me who has taken refuge in the shadows.”

Udududuk-.

Mara clenched her fists.

Then Enkidus looked up at the sky.

“Certainly, the monks of the Sunlight Ascension Way become stronger when the sun rises.”

Was there such a secret?

I didn’t know.

I just thought it would be fucking strong if I went bald.

Because Enkidus was powerful even at night.

However, thinking about it now, it seemed that Enkidus had far more overwhelming destructive power during the day than at night.

I never thought it was under the restriction that it weakens at night.

Are there any quirks?

Just like I have a quirk that says getting rich weakens your fighting power.

Then Enkidus said.

“Mara, let me ask you something. What is the sun to you?”

“… Are you saying you’re going to give me a Seon dialogue like the Grand Master? stupid guy you were always like that Show kindness at critical moments. That’s why I was pushed and couldn’t escape the shadow of the second person.”

“It is a shade. Who is hiding in the shadows now?”

oh oh oh-.

Enkidus’s golden eyes began to burn like fireworks.

Seeing this, Mara was greatly taken aback.

“… On a night when the sun doesn’t even rise… Are you using the state of liberation?”

“The sun is just a shining star.”

pat-.

Enkidus’ body jumped out like a golden flash.

I’m probably the only one with 20 agility who can track his speed with sight.

Speed means destructive power.

Enkidus’ fist, which advanced like a flash, struck Mara’s chest.

Whoa-!

The sound of destruction as if steel collided with steel shook the trees planted in the garden.

It was the moment when the old swing creaked and the table flew around.

“Go——!”

Mara shouted loudly.

It’s probably a skill that can be called Lion’s Roar.

In the moment when everyone was in a daze, Mara let out an aching sound.

Soon, the muscles in his arms, shoulders, and legs began to twitch, and his body became elongated, twisted, and deformed, like a wart pulled out by a child.

Seeing that appearance, Enkidus, who had been pushing the offensive until just now, spoke as if he were nervous.

“It’s Pandemonium’s… You have fallen at last, brother.”

“Corruption? You mean it fell from the sky? . Wrong, Enkidus. I am the sky You will all fall away from me.”

Ji Ri Ji Rit -.

Seeing the hairs on the nape of my neck stand up funny, the situation was a bit serious.

How can humans change like that?

At that time, Garot pulled out a small sword.

“I don’t think Ascension to the Sun is a problem only for monks anymore. That’s the devil’s aura. I, the hunter Garot, will also participate in this hunt.”

The case gets bigger and bigger.

I was anxious.

It seemed like the garden was about to be destroyed again and again!

Do I have to step in?

How can I quickly take down that Mara without reaching level 50?

Should I just kick it out?

no.

Men like bulls like that don’t run away even if they die.

It is said that there is no answer other than killing.

“I’m tired.”

It was a time when I felt difficult in many ways.

“Yoosung Chaaa!!!”

Something fell like a meteorite from high in the sky and smashed the garden.

Tuquaaang-!

The moment I saw the garden’s dirt and orderly blocks scattered like dust, I felt my eyes roll over.

“My, my garden… !”

What happened?

I couldn’t contain my anger.

The moment the dust and dirt that rose high in the sky fell to the floor and the field of view opened up, I could spot someone standing in the middle of the garden, which was hollowed out as if a meteorite had fallen.

It was a man holding a huge greatsword as if he had pulled out the beams of a house.

“It was a great landing.”

The body, which narrowly avoided exposure by wrapping a red cloth, had a tattoo resembling Nazca’s terrestrial flower, which seemed to have a religious meaning.

tanned skin.

Her body was muscular for a woman, and her face was scarred, but she was beautiful.

Her red hair, like flames, fluttered wildly and untidy, and her eyes were also red.

A female warrior from a warlike tribe.

Can I express that feeling?

“You are—”

Seeing the woman, Enkidus reacted first.

Soon, the woman said with a big laugh hahahaha.

“Long time no see, you guys! How many months is this? It looks like you’re living a good life! Do you have Brigitte? Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so there’s a lot to talk about.”

The female warrior holding the greatsword leaped quickly.

It was me who was aiming his greatsword.

“die!”

“What?”

I quickly raised my dagger and blocked his greatsword.

aaang-!

Even though I blocked the attack, I felt like I was knocked to the floor by the enormous weight that came from the top to the bottom.

Is this exactly what it feels like to be hit by a hammer?

“Quyiyin! What are you doing all of a sudden! Crazy!?”

I shouted at Warrior Queen, a former colleague of the demon castle breakthrough party.

However, the guy just smiled at me as he pointed his sword against me, exposing his sharp fangs.

“No, I am perfectly normal!”

Huung-.

He swung his greatsword wide and threw me away.

Spinning around in the air and getting into my stance, I thought it would be better to show my sincerity and fight.

warrior queen.

Even if Mara is second, if you want to defeat that guy, you won’t be able to do it with your hands.

Full-.

But the female warrior queen pushed me away and headed to Mara’s side.

“Daengjung, retreat first! Even you and I can’t win against this many!”

“Tsk.”

“Then good luck everyone! And Judas, congratulations on getting a mansion!”

Caw, cack, cack-!

Crows flocked from somewhere.

Hundreds, no, thousands of crows, who seemed to be able to pass easily, fluttered wildly.

The crows flew high into the sky again as if they had promised, but Marana Warrior Queen was nowhere to be seen in the garden where the atmosphere was captured.

“What was it?”

* * *

midnight.

The mansion became quiet after all the guests had passed away.

I sat in the roughly tidy parlor and thought.

Brigitte asked me.

“queen… . Are you sure you’re the queen? Was he with Mara? And Judas attacked you? Is it a resemblance or a fantasy?”

“no. I’m right look at my fingers it’s still swollen This is because I blocked his attack twice. It is a power that cannot be thought of unless it is the person himself.”

“… Then, if you are right, what is the probability that you have been manipulated or brainwashed?”

“Brigitte, you know better that he’s not one to be brainwashed or manipulated. Don’t you remember how the wizard Valdez was the only one who was fine?”

“Then why is the Queen… .”

Brigitte couldn’t believe that our colleague, Quinn, broke into the party and attacked me.

Because Brigitte was closest to Queen, who was the same woman in the demon castle party.

Even though he was greatly shocked by his friend’s betrayal, he couldn’t help it.

About that Enkidus spoke slowly.

“In the original world, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. There are so many stories of friends and brothers turning enemies that you don’t have to look for them.”

As Enkidus said.

In this world where even family members turn their backs on each other, a colleague is only a short relationship.

Even if they become enemies when they meet again someday, it can’t be helped.

“… Have you become a follower of Nocturne? Is that why you are cooperating with Tenebris?”

Brigitte murmured softly.

Then Enkidus shook his head.

“She serves Jan-Nut, the Demiurge of Order and Madness. He is not compatible with Nocturne, who is simply destructive. It’s not like I became a believer in Nocturne.”

“but… . That’s why I participated in the demon castle party. Then why is that guy… .”

Brigitte seemed completely incomprehensible.

Of course, it would be the same for Enkidus, and so was I.

The more important thing now is the plan for the future rather than the reason.

warrior queen.

She was a strong opponent.

If such a guy appeared as our enemy for any reason, it would be good to say that he was crushed in many ways.

That guy is different from Brigitte or Enkidus, so he never touches me.

The long-awaited mansion might be destroyed!

Garot, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

“This is what I want to say. The apostate monk called Mara. It was also associated with the devil. And that demon might have something to do with the demon I’ve been looking for for a long time.”

A demon that Garot has been looking for for a long time.

It was the first time I had heard of it.

“Didn’t I ever tell you? That I became a demon hunter to find and kill someone. A demon with two horns.”

I don’t know. I heard it for the first time

While the atmosphere was heating up in many ways, such as betrayal and new facts, Salome, who was listening to the story with her legs raised on the table in the parlor, opened her lips as if she wanted to say something.

“Rather than that, there is a chapel of Nocturne in the basement of this mansion? And the little ones discovered this. Look at this. It’s “Nocturne’s Dagger”. It is an artifact of Demiurge.”

Shuk-.

Salome held out a dagger curved in the shape of a crescent moon.

It was impressive that a bird of prey was engraved with a jewel in a golden sword case.

“And the little ones have said some very disturbing things about this dagger.”
