chapter 60
60 – 22. You, what are you fighting for -2
“Yes…? What is that…”
Noah looked shocked.
“You’re a Kraken…?”
“Well, that’s what it was.”
Noah’s expression distorted after hearing what I said.
“Eh…Eh, what kind of joke is that?”
“It’s not a joke.”
“Seriously, don’t do it. It makes me feel bad.”
I had a headache.
Noah swallowed her saliva and looked at me.
“You’re really not feeling well… Just get on. It’ll work out somehow.”
This is another conversation. I don’t think the conversation will end in a roundabout way.
I sighed and turned back.
“Ah…Uncle, where are you going…!”
“Buy time.”
“You’re in a state of shock right now! It’s because you’re not feeling well! So… That’s why you say something weird like you’re a Kraken!”
I pulled out a tentacle from my hand and swung it as if to show off.
A monster coming down the stairs turned into a piece of meat.
“…Eh?”
Noah made a dazed sound.
As she stood there, she rubbed her eyes or trembled.
“Lies… Words.”
It seems Noah recognized it too. Whose tentacles belong to and what kind of villain’s technology is this?
She’s been watching it horribly for the past year.
I feel like I would like to have a longer conversation. But it seemed like they had no intention of allowing that.
“It’s coming! We have to leave now!”
It was Seo Jin-ah’s cry.
Just as she said, monsters were pouring down the stairs.
“…That’s gross.”
I can’t waste any more time. I spoke to Kkomouli, and we soon began to transform.
I feel uncomfortable every time I become a villain. But I have never been as uncomfortable as I am now.
I completely completed my transformation as I felt the gaze of the magical girls.
Wearing a long black coat and a gas mask on his face. A villain Kraken with tentacles wriggling at your feet.
“…It doesn’t make sense…”
Stupidly.
Noah can’t close his eyes.
I kicked the car that was standing still.
“Let’s go. It’s hard to say how long you can last.”
“Ah…Yes. We’re leaving! Hold on tight, guys!”
Boo!!
The car drives away with a rough exhaust sound.
Noah was seen in the car moving away. The guy continued to look at this place with blank eyes.
I feel frustrated for a while. It swung its tentacles violently with a crunching sound.
Like a watermelon hit by a bat, these are pieces of meat that break apart easily.
However.
“There are so many.”
There are many. There are so many of them.
No matter how much you destroy it, there is no end to it.
Wow!
It swung its tentacles widely and shattered the nearby area. The soft meat rolls and flutters. Nevertheless, they continued to attack.
This is why brainless monsters are so annoying.
They don’t feel fear. They just blindly act according to their instincts or orders.
“There are too many!”
“I have to hold on, until they run away.”
“And then what?”
“…I don’t know, I didn’t think about it.”
My head was pounding.
“I have nothing to say to Noah… No, I don’t even know what to do with that monster in the first place…”
In the meantime, this guy is expanding the range of his body. They say I’m there now, but they’ll start tracking me soon.
To be honest.
“I’m going crazy.”
Even if I clear my head and hit the tentacle, it keeps coming back to me. Noah had such despairing eyes that he had been betrayed by someone he trusted.
I wanted to go to Noah right away, but I couldn’t.
“There are too many!”
“Let’s hold on a little longer!”
Although hundreds of monsters had already been slaughtered, not even a single fragment of the main body was visible.
It was natural. Rust is originally a raid boss.
While Iris, who is at a similar level to me, went to attack her main body, the remaining magical girls took the time.
It was natural that it would be difficult to do alone what should have been done as a group of four.
‘I’m really going to die if I keep doing this.’
It is not at the level of difficult.
For the first time since I started this job, I felt my life in danger.
Even if I die, it means I die.
‘We need to take a little more time.’
The problem is the magical girls. They probably haven’t gotten far enough yet.
You have to avoid monsters, and transportation won’t be easy.
“…Shh…There’s another way…”
Her head rolled quickly. There must be a way. A way to defeat Rust.
What are Rust’s weaknesses and strategic points…
“…There is none.”
I burst out laughing.
No. Nothing exists.
There is a way to defeat Rust by myself.
It can’t deliver a powerful blow like Iris, and it doesn’t have the ability to control minds. At best, it can be done to tie the movements together.
Gulp. A little b*tch swallowing its saliva.
“Then what do we do now? There are monsters everywhere. It looks like it’s difficult to run away.”
“…”
“Should we defeat the main body somehow? Shinhyeon?”
“There is no way to defeat the main body. That’s true. It will be difficult with our attack power.”
Gkomulgi gasped and swallowed.
It must have been quite a shocking statement. Well, it is no different from saying that I have no choice but to die like this.
“Then it’s over.”
“No. There is only one way left.”
“You said you can’t take it down?”
“Yes. I can’t defeat it. But…”
There is at least one method worth trying. The problem is that if you fail, you die.
‘…Let’s try it.’
Anyway, even if you stay here, you will only die in the end. It would be less unfair to struggle and die.
Paaang!
After forming a guard with his arms, he quickly jumped forward.
“W-what are you doing!?”
The sound of Kkomulgi being astonished was heard. In his opinion, this is probably no different from suicide.
“Swing your tentacles!”
“I don’t know what happens…!”
Heavy tentacles swing around, crushing chunks of meat.
However, due to the limited quantity, there were sometimes those who were missed.
And those guys.
“Huh…!?”
“Shinhyeon!”
“It’s okay! Do your thing!”
Without exception, tentacles were spit out and pierced my body. Huh, there were huge holes in my arms, legs, and torso.
Still, we can’t stop.
Because it was running so fast, it ended up being pierced by a tentacle. If you slow down even a little, you will be impaled and captured.
If that happens, the game is really over.
The end is to become food for those bastards. That’s a specification.
“Ugh…! aaa!!!”
Pow!
The last guy blocking the door burst out, and a bright light came on.
At the same time, the image of a person came into view. A shape closer to a rabbit doll than to a person.
“You.”
“Are you Mr. Kraken? You are seriously injured. Are you okay?”
“…Well, thanks.”
“Thanks to you. I’m sorry. No, do you know that someone is doing this because they like it?”
“…”
“In the first place, the Demon King and I are quite enjoying watching you. The choices you make are quite interesting.”
I smiled bitterly at what he said.
That’s it. There is a way to overcome the current situation.
Whether it works or not, give it a try.
I looked at the rabbit and got to the point.
“Hey.”
“Yes? What is it?”
“I came to make a deal.”
+++++
“The tracking has stopped…?”
“Then that’s good, I’m going to step on it harder so hold on tight.”
After a very short conversation, no one spoke.
The relief of surviving and the joy of having Noah back. It was probably due to the shock that came from an unexpected fact.
Yuyul watched Noah’s thoughts and wiggled his fingers.
She continued her silence. Ever since the man transformed and ran away to another place.
“Sister…Noah…”
“…Let’s leave it alone for now.”
Noah sighed.
The villain was so annoying. The villain I hated so much. The villain I wanted to catch so badly.
The person I loved so much.
‘No way, Mr….’
Have you been aiming for this from the beginning? To watch from closer than anyone else and play with your mind?
Actually, if you think about it, it was a strange meeting from the beginning. A person talking to a girl alone in a convenience store.
It wouldn’t be strange to think that there was some intention from the beginning. His face, approaching with a bright smile, is clearly visible.
My kind and cool brother is a complete mess.
“…Haa…”
Probably not.
There must be something going on.
When I think about it, I think I have become very harmful to myself. In the past, when I lived pursuing justice and following my father’s will for a long time, I would not have even thought about it.
You protect the villain and put your trust in him.
If things were as they were, the villain would go to jail! There are no good villains in the world! I would have said something like that.
Putting aside miscellaneous thoughts, Noah opened his mouth.
“Uncle…”
“Huh?”
“The uncle will definitely come back.”
Noah clenched her fist.
“After that, I will definitely ask you what kind of person I am to you.”
“Noah…”
“I really need to hear why you approached me.”
“Kyu…Noah, that’s…”
“Kyu. Don’t say anything now. I really want to hear it from your mouth.”
“Kyu…Understand-“
The voice that was answering was cut off. Joining in!! With a friction sound.
“Sister!? What’s going on!”
“…It’s blocked.”
Seo Jin-ah looked ahead through her window.
The road was blocked.
“Monsters are encamped ahead!”
By the monsters that had come over here before I knew it.
“…Can you break through?”
“It must be difficult.”
“…”
“…I’ll go out. If I somehow find the strength-“
It was the moment when Noah tried to transform into Iris.
Gurgling… Gurgling…
The monsters that had been stationary for a while began to move at once.
Where are we headed?
They got out of the way and climbed onto the building, extending their long tentacles into the sky.
Then, it climbed up using its tentacles as a rope.
“What on earth is this…?”
“Anyway, we survived for now. Everyone, sit down again! We’re going to the association!”
Arriving at the association with a puzzled mind, they heard an even more incomprehensible sound.
“…The monster has disappeared.”
“Yes…?”
“The gigantic plane that was scattering monsters from the sky… Let’s call it Rust. At some point, it disappeared without a trace.”
An incomprehensible sound that says the monster has suddenly disappeared.
