161 Episode 54: Harsh Things
Dozens of times bigger, different "heads" than men, among them three heads that are especially large have no sense of unity with lions, lizards or birds.
Large, thick limbs have "growing" hands and feet of various animals as if they were feathers.
I have wings. But that\'s not very big enough to fly in the sky.
I have a tail. But if you look closely, it was a snake. It swings around countless times.
A distorted form that has no sense of unity and is forced to stick together. Unexpectedly my breathing is convulsive. At the end of the day, disgust comes up from the bottom of my belly at what I don\'t think is an organism.
"- Huh!"
Low, heavy, ugly chorus. Countless small screams that are not united echo as discord. The head of a lion, the head of a lizard, the head of a bird, roars, cries. The whole body seems to be trembling. I still insist on ugliness.
- "Chimera." That name came up in my brain. A monster with all sorts of animals, which was spoken of in previous life. Making it look too shocking.
"Ugh... Ugh, yeah... Huh!
I could hear Charne throwing up in the back. But I didn\'t break my consciousness to Charne. I just had to twist and gaze at the disgust and chills coming up from the back of my body.
"Chimera has already recognized us and turned our consciousness. What you can feel from the signs of getting tangled up in your skin is - hunger.
"Gah! Protect Charne!
I slam my magic into the engraved mark at the same time as I scream. Set aside the magic of a dragon that overflows like a wake-up call, wrapping it around a celestial.
At the same time as I moved, the countless snakes that were shaking like the tail of a "chimera" approached me with their fangs pointing and biting.
Extend the blade of the celestial and swing it out to slash it simultaneously from the roots. The response was uncomfortable, and the serpent\'s torso fell countless times to the ground.
One swing, two swings, I\'m swinging the celestial to intercept. That would inevitably reduce the number, but surprisingly, the snake that should have been slashed will grow and grow.
"Play...!?"
Again, the head of a snake strikes at me. Where I tried to swing a celestial to intercept - the flames blew.
The heat swells up enough to burn the skin and the forest begins to burn. At the centre of this was the alienation of the earlier flame-wrapped human form.
"- - Huh!!"
The abnormality of the flames was also roaring strongly. A shouting of emotion that makes you tremble from the core of your body. An emotional twist incomparable to what was hitting us until earlier.
There was anger there. There was grief there. There was hatred there. The appearance and screaming that only seemed so, and the flaming anomaly unleashed its overflowing fervour towards the chimera.
"Hey, I\'m gonna burn every mountain!?"
No more, that wasn\'t the level of flames, it was supposed to be a hotline. A concentrated flame extends like a ray of light and pierces the body of the chimera.
Decide from it, thoroughly enough to burn the contact surface. If the surface is burned with fire, is it just hard to regenerate, or the smell of meat burning spreads on one side?
(Maybe there\'s nothing around here because these two were even fighting over territory!?)
The lack of signs of animals, including demons, from the mountains may no longer have been escaped or eaten as a result of a dispute between two demons outside this standard. That would convince me.
That\'s all I was thinking about, there was movement on the chimera. Chimera had been subjected to heat lines many times and her body was turning into a hole. Though small, it may be good to see that the alienation of that flame holds the power to be feared.
Then, as the chimera shuddered her body. The tail snakes, which were countless scattered, are bound together so that they can be wrapped in one. And - the wax melts and deforms the flesh. It has turned into a fourth big head snake.
The snake\'s head - eaten away like it chooses its own body.
"Ha-?"
I don\'t care what you think, it\'s self-inflicted. For a moment, the chimera, which decided on the burnt surface, regenerated the body as if it were rewinding.
I\'m there like a chimera who was burned down until earlier and thought it wasn\'t surprising that he was still desperate was nothing like a nightmare. And the head of a giant snake approaches the fiery alien.
Although the flaming anomaly also spits out the hotline like crazy, the snake opens its mouth if it doesn\'t swallow the hotline as a whole without one.
"- I won\'t let you!
Even if they take in the Demon Stone, even this nasty chimera gets stronger. Because of such a sense of crisis, I deployed a magic blade to cut off the head of the snake and shook it down from the top.
The blow combined with the leap devoured lightly and cut off the snake\'s head. The tail that I lost my head trembles and returns to the main body of the chimera as it pulls away.
In the meantime, a new head also grows as it drifts from the wound. Seeing that sight makes me tongue out of the blue.
"What is this regenerative power...!
I tongue down as I land and get my attitude in order. Even though you\'re dressed to help, flaming aliens aren\'t meant to be allies.
But the flaming anomaly didn\'t strike me. Instead, I feel like my eyes and thoughtful light are staring at me jizzily.... It\'s a weird demon over here, too, what the hell is it?
Chimera and flame anomalies, the four heads of the chimera have stared at me and flame anomalies at the same time as they both stand vigilant. As soon as I recognized that demonic light was shaking in the lions, lizards, birds, snakes, and their four eyes - as if, a sweet feeling had eroded my whole body.
"- Huh, ha, gu...!
The sweet sensation provoked thoughts, and a severe pain ran on my back the moment I was about to lose my strength from my knees. Because the engraving of the dragon devoured the magic and forced it to increase its power. That was like resisting something.
"This..." Charming!? "
I remember this shock. I\'ve never felt such strong resistance before, but it was a shock like the one that once reinforced the feeling of resisting charm many times.
Perhaps those eyes are demonic eyes. That\'s why I was about to be fascinated when my gaze matched. As if irresistibly, waiting to be eaten.
"... demon eyes fascinated by unusual regenerative abilities...? Are you kidding me? - I also have vampire power!?"
Once upon a time, a major incident rocked the Kingdom of Palettia. Its kick-ass existence, the vampire.
The study of that power is being carried out through the cooperation of two people: Raini and Al-Kun. So it\'s a demon that even I know well.
The power was now wielded by this fierce alien demon. In other words, is this chimera a vampire or something that takes in the power of a vampire?
Anyway, I can tell you something. - This guy, he\'s got to be definitely done here.
"Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!"
As I was shaking off the influence of fascination, the fiery anomaly was also roaring strongly. The obsession is directed at that chimera.... I don\'t know, but this anomaly is obsessed with chimeras. With the intent to kill until overwhelming, without making charm an object.
Or maybe it\'s because he hates chimeras much as he doesn\'t make charm a thing. That\'s what I would think if I was looking at a alien that could roar with a voice that was going to dry up.
Gather the flame again and start releasing it as a hotline, but its power is a little weak. Maybe it\'s an influence that\'s resisting the power of charm. Chimera also now stands idly by without preying on herself again, even if she receives a hotline.
Each neck moved oddly and seemed to shake as if he were laughing. Everywhere I look ugly, I frown.
"If you\'re not coming at me, I\'ll do something about it from you!
With dragon magic all over my body, I chop up my chimera so that I can stretch out the Celestial Magic Blade and stay out of the way of the flaming aliens.
But if I knock in the slaughter, I won\'t even show you how to avoid it. You just have to play it from the side where it was slashed, I can feel that extra space coming from the chimera.
And the environment is bad. Forests continue to burn more and more because the flaming anomalies are releasing heat lines without even thinking about their effects on the surroundings. It burns me with enthusiasm and takes away more and more of my strength.
Whether you crush your head, fly your neck, or your hands and feet, you can make them regenerate anyway. Even if the flaming anomaly burns, it doesn\'t make sense if it gets eaten and regenerated by that body.
I bite my teeth off as I wipe down the dripping sweat.... No, I\'m too incompatible. It\'s not like I don\'t have a hand, but I can\'t use it poorly in this situation.
"... then leave? No, to keep these two busted where they left off..."
But can you retreat where you defeated the flaming anomaly first? And at the retreat, do we have all the fighting power we can take this guy down? Can you counter chimeras that use the power of charm in the first place? Too unknown.
But you can\'t keep wearing me out and let me fall. At least if there are a few more gaps and the movement has stopped......!
- It was then. "Light" ran through the air of the forest surrounded by hot air.
"- Shoot through," Keravnos!! "
That\'s thunder. A thunderbolt arrow pierced the chimera as it ripped the air, as the flaming anomaly dictated by the heat line.
Chimera\'s body swayed with the sound of a thunderous impact. It was Charne with Keravnos who unleashed the arrows of thunder. Gakun holds his sword to protect that Charne.
"Charne!"
"Sister Wang, please step back! Huh... second shot, I\'m coming!
Charne is wrapped around an aura that contains thunder all over her body, and the aura is shaking like a wolf\'s ear. It is very similar to when Keravnos was in a runaway state before it was completed.
If you can\'t control it delicately, the sound of thunder sounds loudly every time Charne stares at the arrows of thunder. While distorting his face in agony, Charne did not stop pulling his bow, emitting a second thunderbolt as declared.
Now he tries to prevent the arrow released toward the center of his body so that the head of the snake knocks it off. But the snake\'s head is also eaten and pierced by the body. At that moment, thunder ran all over the body of the chimera as it bounced and flew.
"- Huh!"
Chimera looking up to heaven and trembling all over her body. The low, heavy voice was now tall, turning into a screaming voice color.
Cramping chimeras over and over, and I notice. The head of the snake pierced by Charne hasn\'t regenerated.
"No way, he\'s paralyzed and paralyzed!?"
It\'s like being directly exposed to thunder. If you paralyze your body, you may not be able to regenerate it immediately.
If Charne can still hit an arrow, I can hit an effective hand, too. That\'s what I thought, it was when I tried to speak to Charne.
The three remaining necks of the chimera, its neck "stretches out." As if it were a snake with a different face, its head stretches out from three directions to the Charne.
"Charne! Gah! Stand back!"
I rush to drop one of my heads at the Celestial. What I slashed and tore was the lizard\'s neck, and now the remaining lion and bird\'s neck pack the distance from the Charnes.
Gakun remains, but Gakun\'s magical output won\'t let him drop his neck at once. That\'s why Gakun was trying to avoid it, too, but the problem was Sharne.
"Huh...!
Kakun, and Charne\'s knee bends, and he gets on his knees. Sharne\'s consciousness was also for a moment, staring at her vaguely approaching neck as to whether she was flying.
I am forced to stretch the Celestial magic blade and wave to slash my stretched neck off. But the head of the bird suppresses the momentum of my magic blade by sacrificing myself, and the lion\'s head does not lose momentum.
"Charney!"
Gakun tried to get in the way, but the lion\'s head blew Gakun away with a head-on procedure. I tried to stop, Gakkun, but the moment I stepped on the dance, I got a second wasting head poke and I roll to the ground.
And the lion\'s head opens its mouth toward Charne, who was holding hands to stand up.
"-"
Like a shudder, Charne could only open her eyes to the mouth of a lion who tried to chew herself up.
At that moment when I thought Charne was going to be chewed up - something momentously went in between.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh!!"
As he shielded himself, the fiery anomaly was blocked in front of Charne to receive the lion\'s fangs. Blood overflows from the fangs eaten in.
Though that blood is tainting Charne, Charne just has to go blind. The abnormality of the flame that sheltered its charne, the flame that was wrapped around its body, shriveled.
"... hi, and...?
And - the flames cleared. There were men there, all those bull horns on their heads, who only seemed to be people.
