78 – Woong Woong

An intense vibration sound that resonates every time you take a step.

I looked at the monster running towards me, waving its arms around.

I don’t know if it’s because my body became like that and I lost my intelligence, or because my instincts became stronger.

‘The beast itself.’

It approaches me quickly, behaving in a manner that appears far from human to anyone.

I slowly raised my mace and narrowed my eyes as I looked at that monster.

‘It seems impossible to inflict damage with a normal attack.’

It would be better to mainly use attacks that have good power from the beginning.

With that thought in mind, I manifested an originating explosion that granted magic penetration onto the monster’s head.

With the sound of the body being torn apart and blood and flesh flying out in all directions.

A strong explosion sound follows later, and a huge explosion occurs from the monster’s head.

… Originally, even this amount would have resulted in instant death.

“Kaaak!”

I don’t know what I did.

You can see that your hair is quickly repaired and returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.

It seemed like it would be difficult to deal with the origin explosion alone, so when that judgment passed me by, I laughed as if it was amusing.

‘That’s right.’

I relaxed my shoulders, thinking that I felt better after meeting the right person for the first time in a long time.

The fact that an opponent who could withstand my attacks appeared meant that I could now try new techniques.

‘Then what should you try?’

When I was thinking about it, a somewhat pleasant thought crossed my mind.

You can see that each monster’s hands are chanting and manifesting magic.

‘Could it be possible to use magic with different hands?’

I stretched out my hand, thinking this was quite amazing.

If you use 8 magics, all you have to do is take away all 8 magics.

Magical interference.

Theft of ownership.

Originally, it was a technique that could only be used if the level difference was very large.

If you use the unique properties obtained through magic penetration, you can do this without much difficulty.

I use this to take the opponent’s magic and counterattack it.

“Kaaa!”

If the magic explodes while it is being activated, the reaction may be stronger than expected.

The monster lets out a louder scream than before and begins to twist its entire body.

‘It seems like he feels pain.’

I am smiling with satisfaction while looking at this.

It appears that there were still believers alive, and they began to shout something while spitting out blood from their mouths.

“Well, brothers and sisters, please don’t worry… ! Heavenly God’s blessing is invincible! No matter how much of a failure it may be, it cannot be defeated by the magic of such a heretic. Don’t doubt, fight back!”

At that one word, the believers of the Heavenly God Church who flocked to the entrance of a banquet hall reacted by screaming and raising their weapons.

I laughed at the sight that reminded me of fanatics.

As I had thought about before, I decided to try a new technology.

‘Until now, I have used space compression magic by applying it only to my magic or to myself.’

Now that magic technology has improved considerably.

Now, I can not only use it for myself.

Now that I can apply it to enemies, I decided to try using it while raising my mana.

‘There is only one reason to cast the space compression spell on the enemy.’

If you use it well, not only can you control the other person’s every move at will…

‘Furthermore, the aftermath of magic failure can be inflicted on the opponent.’

It was also possible to use it in this way.

I used space compression magic on the monster’s body, such as its neck, arms, and legs, to make it able to cross space.

‘The moment when you push your body forward to cross the space.’

By canceling this, the body that came into the compressed space and the body that was originally there were forcibly separated.

“…… !”

Magical techniques using failure.

The gathered believers of the Celestial God Church looked horrified and began to back away.

I laughed at their reaction and then cast the spell again.

‘Space compression magic.’

In fact, even if the body was dismembered using space compression magic, it was obvious that the monster’s insane regenerative power would nullify it.

This alone was a meaningless action.

If we go one step further, things will change.

With that thought in mind, I applied the space compression magic I used earlier to each of the severed bodies.

A lightning strike was made to send it crashing down.

‘The body that fell quickly due to lightning was the moment when space compression magic was applied.’

All the bodies will be divided and buried deep in the ground.

No matter how good the regenerative power was, it would have been impossible to restore it.

“…… “

When the monster disappears, the noisy banquet hall suddenly becomes quiet.

I thought I quite liked this silence and slowly looked around and grabbed my mace.

“No, that’s ridiculous.”

I guess I didn’t know that monsters could be dealt with in this way.

The believer, who was shouting “Whale whale” Earlier, shakes his head and shouts denial, denying reality.

“False… Yes, it’s a lie. All of this was due to the heretic’s wicked magic, and in reality it did nothing. “It is clearly an evil hallucination created to shake our faith!”

I don’t know if there is some intention, or if they are too religious to deny it like that.

I didn’t think there was any need to listen, so I unleashed a lightning strike and burned the believer to a crisp as I continued speaking.

“Does this still seem like an illusion?”

I asked a question to the ashes.

Because the ashes could not speak, unlike before, they simply faded away quietly.

He stepped on the ash and slowly looked away, indicating that it had been completely removed.

‘Then what’s left now.’

It would be about saving the people of the Herdi family and eliminating the remnants.

I decided to quickly tie the knot and moved on.

* * *

“He is, after all, my son-in-law!”

As soon as everything was over, the first thing I heard was the voice of the Herdi family head.

In a very excited voice, he told those around him that he had chosen me to be Delia’s husband, and held my hand.

‘It looks like they are acting to resolve this situation.’

It may also mean thank you for saving me.

Not only is it not enough to inherit the lineage of the Lercier family, but it also reveals my relationship with myself, who is strong enough to defeat powerful enemies alone even though I am only an academy student.

The thought crossed my mind that he was trying to salvage his position to some extent.

I was laughing while thinking that such a situation was quite annoying.

Delia quickly runs to me, hugs me, and talks to me.

“Derndern! Are you okay?”

It didn’t even have blood on it, let alone a wound, so it would look fine to anyone who saw it.

When I saw her hug me while asking if she was okay, I thought she said that because she just wanted to be hugged.

I pushed Delia away, thinking that I was being strangely dishonest.

“No, why!”

Delia seemed to be feeling annoyed for no reason, so I pushed her head even harder, trying to stop her from being pulled by me.

‘Just…’ Let’s give up.’

Perhaps it was because she had experienced something tiring before, or because she didn’t want to cause a fuss over something like this, she left it alone.

Delia, like a wild beast that got her chance, buried her face in my body and started laughing.

‘It’s a pain in the ass.’

I am wondering what to do about this.

Delia speaks to me, lifting her face as if she has remembered something.

“Maybe the lucky charm I gave you before didn’t bring good luck to you, but to me.”

I guess I said that because I came to save him…

If you think about it calmly, it wasn’t just that the house was on the verge of collapse, it was a misfortune in itself that so many people within the family died.

I had nothing to say.

‘More than anything, this happened because it was tied to me.’

It might be more correct to describe it as a talisman that brings misfortune rather than good luck.

When I thought of that, I felt somewhat sorry and stroked Delia’s head.

Delia is very embarrassed as she talks to me.

“Uh, uh… ? What?”

It seems difficult to accept my behavior, perhaps because I usually ignore it or treat it coldly.

Delia looked at me, holding her stroked head in both her hands.

She immediately speaks gibberish and says something to me.

“What’s happening all of a sudden? What’s good? No, it’s not a good thing. Well, then why? And if you suddenly become this nice to me, oh no! That’s a really dangerous thing. So, from next time, I’ll get permission… No, you don’t need permission, you can do whatever you want. I think it would be better to tell them in advance. No, you can just do whatever you want!”

He looks blank and starts spouting out countless words, as if he doesn’t even know what he’s talking about.

I looked at Delia like that and patted her shoulder to help her calm down.

Delia seems to have finally regained her senses and continues her story with a ‘hmmm’ sound.

“… Anyway, thank you. “Thanks to you, I survived.”

Instead of answering, she nodded and she spoke while looking at the ruined house.

“You don’t have to worry about home. “It’s not that difficult to restore if you hire wizards, and above all, the nearby outbuildings seem to still be intact.”

Maybe it was because the Herdi family was famous for being wealthy, but it didn’t seem that difficult to repair the damage.

I thought it was fortunate that she nodded.

Delia spoke with her sigh.

“The reason why so many employees and guards died… Although it will have quite a big impact. You don’t have to worry about that. Of course, this is a problem that the Herdi family must solve.”

“…… “

She nodded her head wordlessly and Delia smiled awkwardly.

I tried to pass it off as a joke, but this whole situation was too serious to just laugh it off.

So, I decided to leave for now and tried to move on, saying, ‘I will go.’

Delia carefully holds the hem of my clothes and speaks to me in a hushed voice.

“If you become in danger later, I will be the first to run. So, thank you.”

How many times do I say thank you?

I lightly stroked Delia’s head again to show that I understood and then returned to her home.

* * *

When I return to the main house, I see Rumi with a very stiff expression.

Looking at the condition, it appears that he has been standing outside since I left.

When I approached Rumi to ask why she was doing this, she spoke to me with an expression on her face that looked like she was on the verge of crying.

“… “I like you too.”

I didn’t expect her to suddenly confess like this, so I looked at Rumi in silence.

Rumi continued her words, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.

“… Even while working or studying, I keep thinking of you… “I like it, I like it.”

“…… “

Even though it was a confession, his expression was quite stiff.

Hearing those words, I realized something was wrong and was about to say something.

Before that, Rumi continued her words.

“… Therefore. Now even for you… “I’ll try to make you really hate me.”

A calm word.

I looked at Rumi, who seemed to have already made up her mind, and thought about it for a moment.

I said out loud the thought that had been coming to my mind since a while ago.

“I don’t know what kind of bullsh*t you’re talking about earlier. “If you’re going to say something that doesn’t even sound like a word, just make a noise.”

In addition to the fact that the coercive action worked, the accent became strange as he used a harsh tone to forcibly silence such thoughts.

That’s when I realized that I had made a mistake and tried to correct what I said earlier.

Espin, who was watching this nearby, muttered quietly with an expression of astonishment.

“… “Did you really like imitating dogs?”
