Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
3-10: The Night No One Knows 1
After some minor troubles the ship that brought us docked at a place where the night view of the capital could be seen...
The harbour is overcrowded because of the tournament season, so we are waiting for our turn...
It seemed that the Duke had issued an order to prioritize ships carrying supplies and there were many other ships anchored...
Since the captain has obtained permission to enter the harbor tomorrow morning, it looks like we can enter the harbor without waiting for tomorrow...
Everyone was watching the night scene until now, but as the youngster started to fall asleep, I made them return to the room...
I heard light footsteps, I looked back and there was Lina...
"You're going...?"
"Well..."
I answered briefly to Lina who gave a strange atmosphere...
"I can't imagine you'd lose against an enemy on the level of the Short Horn, but really don't let your guard down, okay...?"
"Ahh, I know... "
"Or rather, I will do it before the Short Horn demon can appear... "
We will not be able to travel to the capital casually, if there are people who like******* with bombs around...
Furthermore, the identities of the people holding the Short Horn were suspicious...
Most of them were young people from the Nobles who were members of a secret society called the [Wings of Liberty]...
It seemed that no one had the title of Noble, but there were even direct descendants of the Duke among them...
I feel like a weaselkin is involved with them behind the scenes, but the members are human...
"Alright now, you should really go back unharmed okay..."
"You're not a hero, so don't be reckless...!!"
"If you come back with a scratch, I won't let you go alone again...!!"
"I know I won't go overboard... "
"If some strange powerful enemy comes out, I will continue with [Protect life]... "
"Linaa, people like river pirates will attack tonight, so ask someone among our comrades to do night watch, it is also okay to call Miss Karina and her maid to our room... "
"If he comes, Raka will be with him... "
I'm not supposed to say that Lina is overprotective...
I'm the same...
Right now, there's something I didn't tell Lina and the others...
First, there were about 300 members of the [Wings of Liberty] who did not hold the Short Horn...
No one has passed level 30...
I feel that they should be known with Yamato stone, but since each member is no less than two affiliates, the other affiliates might be prioritized...
Their fortress seemed to be in a mysterious area several hundred meters underground of the capital...
I found out this after someone I marked earlier appeared, when the accumulator, it was treated as a different area...
I wonder if it's a geofront or a labyrinth...?
Of course, there were also buildings that looked like their offices in various places above ground...
Furthermore, there were three people with, [Abnormal Status: Demonic Possession]...
Among the two executive members, one was the temple priest Tenion...
Putting aside the first one, I wonder why the last one is possessed...?
Since the three of them are underground, I will do something about them after collecting the Short Horn...
I wonder if it is because of the Spy skill, I have managed to sneak into the capital without being caught by the batkin patrol...
Of course I did not enter through the front gate, I jumped over the outer wall with a skill sky drive...
Now that this is a burglary mission at night, I'm wearing a black mask instead of a silver mask...
I also did not wear a robe, but knight clothes with embellishments were brought out...
I think it's better not to wear anything flashy because my goal is not the conquest of demons, but theft...
Now, despite the long night, they were gathered underground, so I had to quickly attack the Short Horn holder on the ground...
First from the fortune teller in the back alley...
I entered the store without knocking...
It took me some time with the keys, but I got in without a problem...
I was somehow able to do it with the treasure chest unlock skill...
"Who..?"
"The shop is closed for today..."
A sexy blonde old lady said it as if she was vomiting, but I knocked her unconscious without thinking about it...
I had confirmed that there was no one beside him, so I gathered the Short Horn from the safe and left...
Just to make sure, I locked the door...
And then, I was able to gather up to the fourth person without any problems, but the fifth one was bad...
Of all things, he was the Duke's third son...
I was able to infiltrate the castle somehow, but there were many guards with see-through skills, surveillance lance and enemy search scattered everywhere...
Even now, I was hiding from the guards patrolling the area...
There were no beastkin guards, but I used [Deodorant] magic to remove my smell just in case...
I wanted to believe in the Spy skill, but the density of the guards was too high, I could not feel relieved...
I wondered if I could get a skill related to not being translucent, if I erased my existence like when I got the skill enemy search back then...
The lucky things...
There were no shortage [enemies] trying to find me, so it should have met the requirements...
At that time I was looking for a foreign object in nature, but now it's the opposite...
I relax and imagine myself melting with the surroundings in mind and body.
Unexpectedly, maybe because I had experienced a similar experience before, I got the easier skill that I thought was...
> [Skill Hiding]
> [Skill Invisibility]
> [Skill Stealth Steps]
I activated the skill and I was able to pass through the corridor while hiding my footsteps...
There is no doubt that it is also thanks to the soft leather shoes I use...
Thanks to the combination of the four skills and magic, the infiltration mission was successful and I have arrived at the Duke's third son's living room...
When I peeked inside, there was a thirty-year-old fat man muttering in a low voice while facing the hand mirror...
I thought he was talking to himself at first, but since the hand mirror was emitting magic power, it was probably a communication-type magic tool...
When I listen carefully...
"Then, kidnap..."
"No. invite Sera from the temple of Tenion..."
Disturbing words came out...
If I'm not mistaken, one of the people with [Abnormal Status: Demonic Possession] is named Sera...
"Your mother.I want to go there too, but I'm busy with government affairs, so it's very unlikely that I can participate in the ritual... "
"No. I don't make the light of society wait... "
:I understand.I will be there before the ritual begins..."
"Preserve the person who can operate the gate waiting... "
After finishing with the hand mirror, he left before the bookshelf while carrying it...
After he operated something, the bookshelf slid out and a hidden space appeared...
Why the inhabitants of this fantasy world really love this kind of trickery...
Since he started changing into a society outfit in the hidden room, I quickly got him hit by stun and collected the Short Horn...
There was a list of passwords and some sort of plan inside the treasure chest with the society outfit, so I collected them...
The Duke's third son fainted while wearing a society outfit, I decided to put him in storage...
In theory, I want to take her clothes and wear them for infiltration, but I don't want to wear those clothes...
There was a hidden passageway along the drainage that continued into the basement of the castle, so I made use of it...
Fungal odor...
Rats have been darting around for a while...
I would have been caught, if they were familiar, but since my radar and crisis perception were off, they might just be ordinary rats...
There are some alarm devices that look like spider webs along the way, but there are no obstacles before the trap discovery and perception of crisis...
On the contrary, the foul-smelling drainage beside the passageway I entered was more painful...
Since I left a trace behind, if I use [Deodorant] magic too much, I should hold this back...
In the middle of the drainage channel, I caught the attention of the society and changed it...
Typical as a secret society, clothing hides the figure and face...
Since the clothes I was wearing were the clothes of a woman, I hesitated to leave her alone with her underwear alone, but I wore the clothes and coat I took from the thief back then and tied it up...
I'll release him when I get back...
"Towards the blue sky... "
"The wind of freedom blows... "
I replied with a code on a woman confirming the password...
There were also other people from the society gathered here...
No one has a Short Horn among these people here...
There were people wearing different clothes from the ordinary members who seemed to be superiors, they seemed to be at odds about something since a while ago....
"What should we do, Mitsuo dono is still not coming..."
"The fool must be resting somewhere..."
"There's no time until the ritual begins, let's go..."
Apparently, they were waiting for the Duke's third son whom I had stunted earlier, but it seemed that the time was near for the ritual...
I have been scanning the documents I took from the Duke's third son since a while ago, but I doubt it, if the contents are serious...
They offered sacrifices with rituals to summon sacred relics...
Based on context, Short Horn from hell...
Today's sacrifice was probably that of Miss Sera who was said by the third son of the previous Duke...
Since he had been possessed by a demon, he might have already been sacrificed...
I headed to the gate device that would transfer us to the underground area with the other members...
I had imagined that it would be like a gate torii (temple) I had seen before, but more like a Stone henge...
The device was activated and we moved to the underground area...
It's the type without time lapse, yeah...
I checked the composition of the underground area...
Here is [Pig King Labyrinth: Ruin]...
Looks like it's not an active labyrinth...
This was probably the same kind as the [Withered Labyrinth] in the country of Koboku Kingdom...
There should be some monsters left even, if it withers, but none here at all...
There are insects and small animals...
Society people seemed to gather outside this corridor...
Since my main goal was, the Short Horn holder and the three demon possessed people who were there, it seemed like I could finish it all at once...
"Oii.you're late, the ritual has already begun... "
"I'll open the door, so take your position quietly... "
A person who looks to be the lead type scolds us with a rude voice at the door leading to the ritual room...
The nagging ended quickly, I snuck in with the members of the society to enter the door...
I've been thinking about this since I intermingled a while ago, but they're full of gaps...
They did not look like a group that would do such an outrageous thing as summoning items from hell...
I wonder if there is someone pulling the rope from behind...?
Well, whatever...
There may only be a few places where they can hold rituals, so if I destroy this place, people who think they have done something wrong will hide...
The ritual room...
Its width is 200 meters, its height is 20 meters, its depth is almost 1 kilometer in length...
Of course there are many pillars standing, but they are certainly strong to support a very large weight...
Is it because of [Fixture Magic]...?
My thoughts are a little...
Nearly 200 men and women in the room were reading words like poetry over and over again...
This doesn't seem like a chanting spell...
There were three beds of rocks lined up on the altar and three girls were sleeping there...
The magic circle seemed to be painted on the skin of the girls...
They don't seem to be dressed...
"Summon holy relic as compensation for these untainted girls!!"
"Summon!!!"
I think I'm a little late...
Following the most important screams and answers of his own, the three executive members beside the girls raised the ceremonial dagger upwards and swung it down towards the girls heart...
Maybe I'm not like I used to be...
The moment I saw the executive member lift the dagger, I rushed out immediately...
I felt the members behind me crashing against the wall...
It seems like they've been hit by a reaction from my sudden acceleration...
I'm running at an unmeasurable speed, but I'm not going to make it like this...
Remote Stun would be great for a case like this, but Sky Drive is faster...
The magic weapon range is 200 meters..
Still far...
"Ouch... "
I tried to convince myself by complaining a little...
The moment when the daggers of the executives swung down was just a moment, in reality it could even be called [Now], but this was not in vain...
In the next moment, I felt strange as running in the water and when I arrived, I kicked the daggers out of the hands of the executives...
And his hand broke off and left only his shoulder...
"Akh...!!"
"Who are you!!"
The one who said that was definitely the head of the society, no doubt about it...
But I made everyone faint before they could say anything...
Since I created the ground shrink skill that I just created, I should have looked like a detached body from their point of view...
Thanks to that, I didn't need much time to render the nearly 200 members helpless...
I wanted to collect the Short Horn, but I guess I'll do something about the demon-possessed people first...
"Disturbing rituals like this, base rough herd, deojaru... "
"Yes, yes, really like an inferior human being, nari... "
Two demons appeared by exiting the bodies of the two members that fell to the ground as if taking off clothes...
They're not Short Horn...
They are top-tier demons...
“Deojaru” has a red body with deer antlers, it has no wings...
“Nari”has bronze body with water-like buffalo horn, it has two pairs of wings...
They were both level 210...
"God, he's so stupid for interfering with our resurrection ritual, nanoda..."
There was the figure of a girl sitting on a stone bed...
The girl, no, the possessed girl showed her true body...
Putting aside the lives of the members, I want to save the sacrificial girls...
I used the ground shrink skill and brought the two girls to the exit...
"I won't let you go, deojaru... "
As if there was space in front of my eyes, a red body demon appeared...
Since both of my hands were busy, I held it with [Remote Arrow] and [Short Stun], shooting it with maximum force...
"I'll give it back, deojaru..
."
The magic I shot towards the demon came back to me as a whole...
Space magic, huh...!!
The Remote Arrows changed their direction back to the demon, but Short Stuns immediately hit me...
I put up a Shield at once to stop him...
The shield shattered in an instant, but I have managed to arrive at the door...
I left the girls on the other side of the door and closed it...
The red body demon behind me was fed up with the Remote Arrows surrounding it...
"Sucks, deojaru... "
The red body demon roared, making cracks run in space and destroying the Remote Arrows...
I could see a flow of magic that worked like an early warning before the crack in space...
I took off my robe and mask and I changed into combat clothes...
I wear a sailor uniform in white and there is a golden badge, wearing a black skirt on my knees and being hammered with a gold list, white gloves and black stockings down to my knees....
The sword I was wearing was Durandal, not Excalibur, not because I didn't want to...
I had stored a dangerous amount of magic power inside Excalibur, when I was experimenting with storing magic power, so I was afraid that I would tear down the capital, so I was not careful with that...
Durandal's performance was worse than Excalibur's, but it's very strong compared to Gjallarhorn, so maybe there's no problem...
"Houho... I thought a rat, turns out you're a hero, Nari... "
"Ara.you guys have forced me to use my battle clothes and prepare to meet true death... "
"Hahaha..."
"Ara.. I will use a bit of my strength around 0.1000% only... "
"All right, we'll serve you.. "
"Alright I will prepare an arena that will make us fight freely... "
"Creation"
"Silver sea"
Instantly a dimension is formed and it consists of a stratified dimension with unidentified layers...
I move them there and they won't realize, because it's the real thing and the real thing remains...
The bronze body demon approached while chewing something...
The side of the altar had become a blood bath...
They themselves made a demon sacrifice this time, huh...
This is not the time to sympathize with them...
I postpone dealing with the red body for later and will get rid of the demon bronze body first...
I move with Ground Shrink and sneak under the chest of the demon bronze body, cutting...
Sfx: slashwas...
An incredible pressure hit me...
However, I held back the high gravity easily and swung the sword, but just before the holy sword touched the demon, I stopped it and took a step back while opening the distance...
Actually, this has no effect on me at all, but if I do a bit of theatrics and pretend about the attack...
"The current hero is weak, instead his instincts are sharp, nari..."
"If he cuts just like him, the hero's body will split in two, almost, deojaru..."
"Ara... "
Looks like they've set up some kind of trap-like magic...
If the perception of crisis does not give me a warning, it will be harmless...
I made Remote Arrows to fly randomly and hit the demon bronze body with Short Stun, it seems that trap magic broke it, huh...
I felt my body being slightly pulled by the red body demon...
When I looked, it seemed that it was using a magic called [Drawing(Evil Snap)]...
"The magic is not very effective despite its low level, deojaru..."
"Ushashashasha, is that a reason for your senility, nari...?"
Their attention turned to each other, now...
Utilizing Ground Shrink and Sky Drive, I rained Short Stuns in 16 three-dimensional directions...
As expected, the Short Stuns began to change their direction, turning back...
There was a demon bronze body among one...
When it came to demon bronze bodies, Short Stuns passed to the red body demon like trap magic...
This is different from the plan, but the result is okay...
Of course, they only received minor damage...
But it's good...
The instant chance I had was enough...
When the blue light from Durandal had melted in the darkness, the red body demon became a piece of flesh and fell to the ground...
I burned it with fire bolt so it can't come back to life...
"It's weird, nari..."
Taking the moment when the demon bronze body was stunned, I took the set Holy Bolt loaded it with magic power from the storage and shot it...
The bronze body demon tried to repel it with its hand which had a black spiral jet appearing on it...
"Avoid that, Stain...!!"
With the words of the possessed girl, the demon bronze body tilted its body to dodge the bolt in a hurry, but could not avoid the arrow and the upper part of its body was torn into many pieces...
Culled...
At first I was hoping that the bolt was just a diversion, but it was unexpectedly effective...
I cut the demon bronze body, while also using it to test the Flash Slash skill...
"It's great, nanoda..."
" I have to apologize for thinking you're a little fry hero, nanoda..."
"No, I must thank you for destroying my follower, nanoda..."
The girl sitting with one knee pulled, by the stone bed muttered as if asking a question...
As the girl stood up, she started to play the words in a clear voice as if she was a stage actress...
"The time for my resurrection has come..."
"O.. man, fear it...!!"
"Today, at this moment, the world will start heading towards collapse, stain...!!"
"Ara... "
"I'll be with you, so be prepared... "
It was supposed to be a scene where I had to shudder, but perhaps thanks to the strange words he added at the end of his sentence, it felt like a comedy show...
Now, it looks like the second round is starting...
