MEMORIES AND ABU HORMUZ

Volume 2 Chapter 13 - Combo

He could not stay in the cage***-worm forever .. one of the****-worms had fallen in love with him, and it disgusted him.

"Listen, we really can't have this relationship" Marco told the pigs attached to him. “I'm sorry ... Actually, no. I'm not sorry at all. Oye! Stop following me! Stop, I'll roast you and I eat round and round!”

He protested in vain however,****-worm simply said buu-hee-buu-buu to him and attempted to curl up closer.

“Basic ****-stupid kasmaran worm! Goodbye!” Marco waives ****-worm and jumps over the fence.

The only creature that follows him now is his demon, the Zodiac.

{Senakers! Heehehehehe .. cowardly coward! Keehehehehe .. coward coward coward coward coward!}

"Shut up, Zodiac!"

{You are silent! Hehehe ... SILENT FOREVER!}

"You told me to die?! Is that what you said!?"

{Keehehehe ..}

"Take back your words!"

But no, wait a minute ... Before Marco could finish his thinking, the Zodiac suddenly approached, pointing its mouth near Marco's ear, then he whispered, The Zodiac,

{There is here .... here .. hehehe ... he has come to puff you up forever ... he is here ..}

"What!?"

In a panic, Marco hurriedly looked around him. There was a kobold of tips, one of them was a boss carrying a large-tipped whip and barbed wire. Fortunately, he did not look towards Marco, but he was indeed approaching him. Marco hesitated for a moment, before he finally jumped back into the cage with the ****worm he had just rejected.

If it is in the cage****-worm, it will not be noticed by any approaching kobolds. There was another cage***worm nearby, but earlier, he and friends had thrown a tip they had killed into the pigsty. After witnessing dozens of ****-worms gobbling up the kobold's body greedily, Marco decided to refrain from entering certain pig-worm enclosures. Being eaten by such animals is not a good choice.

He immediately jumped over an ****-worm..no, it could not be called "Jumping"; a pig-worm inching and wrapped itself in Marco's body. Shortly thereafter, several others did the same, and now his body is plastered over an ****-worm. They licked his face so vigorously, using a tongue so harsh as amputation. There may be bleeding on Marco's skin, because it feels very sore.

Shit ... "I can't stand it anymore" he told himself.

{Gaaaaakk hold! Gaaaaakk hold! Heehehe ... Gaaaaakk resistant .. keehehe ... Gaaaaakk resistant!}

"Zodiac, damn ..." Marco swore with all his heart that one day, he would definitely finish off this child.

But not now. The zodiac is not like the****-worm cowering at Marco, but he is also not a Dark Knight demon who can be best friends. The special abilities of a demon depended on the number of Vice gathered by a Dark Knight.

Zero to ten Vice will make the devil give a warning when the enemy is nearby. This happens if the devil wants to do it. Eleven to forty Vice was second rank, and the demon would distract the enemy by whispering various things to their ears. This also happens if the demon

wanna do. Rank three would be obtained by the gathering of forty-one Vice or more, and the demon would either disturb the enemy or hinder their movements. Of course, that happens if the demon wants to do it.

However, the above provisions only apply after sunset, when the power of the Luminous God is reduced, then the Skulheill God gives birth to enemies. Even at rank one, Dark Knights could not summon their demons during the day. And at a level above the second rank, the effectiveness of demons during the day was always one level below it.

Marco is currently ranked third, and although it is difficult to distinguish when it is day or night inside this mine, Marco suspects that this is not night time because the Zodiac only shows the ability of level 2.

"My master told me that the more Vice I gathered," he said muttering. "My demons will become stronger, and become more obedient, but ... "

{Really? Is that true? Keehehehe .. did he really say that? Heehehe ..}

"Yes, he said that."

{You've been cheated! Tricked! Keehehehe .. fooled fooled! Heehehe ..}

"Stop saying things like that. It'll just make me upset!."

{Fuck fate! Fuck fate! Fuck fate! Eeehehehe ... You're just gonna die or get killed! Heehehe ..}

"Fuck you, Zodiac sign. This is why I don't like calling you. "

That means, there are times when this demon really helps him, for example when the Zodiac warned him about the coming of an old kobold just now. … At the very least, being alone here would make him feel even more lonely.

No no no, Marco nodded. "I'm not lonely. Stupid about that. Not likely. I don't even know what that word means. "

{Liar! Liar liar liar! Keehehe .. big liar! Hehehe .. hehe .. dirty liar!}

"I'm not a big liar or a dirty liar!"

He could only be angry at the demon of his calling, but thanks to the Zodiac being already here to accompany him, at least he did not live this boringly. Marco nodded to reassure himself.

"That's obviously a fundamental element of something. Tree elements. Geez, my vocabulary is really cool. Not 'factor', ELEMENTAL. Damn it sounds so awesome because I'm the one who said it. So, that means that I'm really cool, isn't it Zodiac? Element- ... The zodiac! Oy! Zodiac, please say something in return!”

{...}

"Hey, why don't you say something now? Say something!"

{......}

“Zodiac! Oy! Zodiac!”

{.........}

"Zoooodyards! ... The zodiac? "

{............}

"W-what happened? Zodiac, what's wrong? What the hell's going on? Are you all right?"

{...............}

"Z-Zodiac ?!"

{Aaahahaha .. You were fooled! Keehehehe .. kauuuuuuu fooleduuuuuuuuuuu!}

Marco tries to punch the demon as punishment, but his punch goes unnoticed because the Zodiac bounces away so unattainable by his hand.

{You don't know how to hit a demon .. Even so, you are indeed a stupid Dark Knight ... Keehehehe ..}

“B-fool! Of course I can! But you're my demon, right? What kind of person would hit his own demon?!”

{Really? Really? Hehe! Do you mean meeeeeemang like that?}

"of course! Do I have to say that I'm not serious?"

{... Damn you a hundred million times!}

"What?!"

{Keeehehe ... Heehe ... Keeehehe ... Hehe... Keehehehe ..}.

Damnit. This turned out to be a show that resembled the quarrels of lovers commonly seen on a soap opera. It was fun at first, but not anymore.

"... Can't just hide. It's not like me. But I don't see any other options ... maybe?"

But even if he stayed here, he was not sure that help would come. They're not coming. There is no way they will come ... No, there was no reason to expect anyone else to come. In fact, why do I wish they would come? Depressing. Am I a real man or what?

"If I see the others again, I'll make a calculation with them," Marco told himself, and he decided to gamble by leaving the cage. According to him, staying silent here really does not reflect his personality. It makes her feel better.

He removed all the pigs that were attached to him, then he jumped out of the cage. There was still a long way to go before actually escaping from here, so he rushed down the road between the stables, instead of running at full speed.

"Easy. It's really easy."

The area around black mold, ogre ferns, and light flowers is dangerous, the area is completely open and there are many worker kobolds roaming around. But, occasionally there are also some tips, and there are also 1 – 2 regular kobolds patrolling around the cage ***-worm and ***-mouse, too, so in this area it's pretty safe. The fence around the cage is also quite high, so if Marco bends down, he can stay hidden. But maybe he was too careful.

"With these circumstances, I might be able to jump around without any problems .." he laughed.

As he gets bolder, Marco jumps between the two cages, and he suddenly collides with a worker's kobold as he lands. The Kobold was shrill, and Marco was also about to scream, yet he realized that there was no time to scream. He risked everything, yet it seemed like he had no time to

he drew his long sword.

What will he do ...?

Suddenly he thought of a few things. Lately, he had seen Haruhiro use a new skill, [WIDOW MAKER], maybe that was the name. Maybe he can use it too. Marco actually did not know how to use the skill, but he had seen enough of it. Thus, it was possible that if he imitated Haruhiro's movements, he could use a similar skill.

“Hei! Stop moving!” Marco demanded as he moved to lock the kobold's arm.

Of course, the kobold launched a counterattack, and it was too powerful. But Marco also tried his hardest to win this fight. He pinned the kobold's arm down, and attempted to wrap his arm around the kobold's body, but it didn't work out the way he had imagined. They fell together with bodies that were locked together.

As the two rolled on the ground, Marco hit his opponent's head several times. The Kobold also elbowed his ribs repeatedly, and it felt even more painful than he had imagined. This [WIDOW MAKER] skill seems easy, but the practice is really difficult. Although he managed to hold the kobold's arm temporarily, it turned out that was all he could do, nothing more.

"Must .. strangle him!"

He let the kobold's arm loose for a while, then he wrapped both arms around the monster's neck, and pressed it as hard as he could. As the kobold began to choke, he thrashed and became increasingly wild. Kobold tries to knock Marco out. Marco shouted, and persisted with the whole

his power.

The Kobold scratched a claw on his face, thrusting a finger into his mouth, and tore the corners of his lips.

"ARGH !!!" Marco bit the kobold's finger in return, then he strangled his neck even harder.

Then finally, the worker's kobold's body squeezed.

"Did I succeed ?! No, not yet!"

He refused to believe that the creature was dead, so he held his neck to strangle it for five, ten seconds more, and Marci continued to apply pressure to the kobold's throat. It may be safe now ...

He checked to see if the kobold was still breathing. Breathing ceased. He's been dead. Marco pushed himself away from the kobold's body, and he began to stand up again, but could not. All the power within his body felt drained. The zodiac bounced around Marco, then the creature stared at him from above.

{Keehehe ... What are you doing? Basic amateur! Amateur suck! Hehehehe ..}.

"Amateur says? What the fuck is that…?"

It was a close fight. Almost safe ... right? Wellh, it's not dangerous at all ... He finished it perfectly, perfectly.

"Yes, let's just leave that ..."

Marco rolled, crawled, and pushed himself with his feet. How do I dispose of this carcass? Before that, he needed to take his talisman. Getting the loot made him feel a little better, then he pushed the carcass on the cage****-mouse with all his energy.

"Done!"

A barking sound filled the air. A kobold. No, not just one, a number of kobolds were rushing towards him from a distance.

{Rise, Dark Knight! Eeehehe ... Fight opponents! Keehehe ..}

"I can't fight them all!!”

{Crankies coward! coward coward coward coward! Eeeehehe ..}

"Fuck you, Zodiac!"

Marco turned around with his heel, then he ran with his body straight. Maybe his body felt light, but the tear in the corner of his mouth did hurt. How badly did the kobold hurt his mouth? Damnit. He's called the Cleft Lip forever. And his terrible looks will be broken.

Not the time to think about it! A voice told him.

When Marco turned to look back, he saw a horde of kobolds barely catching up with him. Of course he wanted to swear something, but he was fed up with the Zodiac taunts. At this state, he did not know if he could bear to hear the ridicule from the demon.

Without a word and without looking back, he ran with all his might.
