My Game Friends Were Foreigners in Mythology

20 – How to Have a Fallen Lady (8)

After we finished our meal, we hurriedly returned home. Because there was work.

“I’m back… Crazy, what is it?”

I opened the front door and couldn’t help but be surprised to see what was inside.

“Are you here?”

Because Nyarlathotep was sitting there, bloodied and battered.

Besides, where did her right arm go?

Rest.

Beside her, Ctuga was burning her arm as if to help her regenerate.

A fire that burns everything, so you’re saying it can even burn wounds?

Ctuga was burned by fire. Her severed arm soon regenerated and was fully attached.

“I almost had to be her one-armed for a while.”

“I think it’s because of me.”

Nyarlathotep was swinging her right arm to check her senses.

“I’ve shown you something I haven’t seen in a while. I’m sorry.”

“No, you don’t have to be sorry. What happened?”

I asked in a puzzled voice to Nyarlathotep, who spoke calmly.

What the hell did you do to become a one-armed foreign press?

“I’ve been fighting an octopus for a while. And now, that’s not what’s important.”

“That’s important, right?”

Who is she?

He is a god among gods who far transcends the existence of a constellation.

It is said that she is at least equal to or better than Nyarla Totep to the point of making her a wreck.

A being so powerful attacked her, shouldn’t I be concerned?

“…Thanks for your concern, but that’s not what really matters.”

My words made Nyala Thotep blush, but she shook her head and started talking.

“Soon, the apocalypse will begin. For that, you must become strong as quickly as possible.”

As if she was feeling better now, she got up and came towards me.

“In at least one month, you guys should easily surpass the standard S rank.”

S rank.

That’s not a title to be taken lightly.

A title of honor given only to the top 20 heroes in the world.

There are saints in Korea, and the rest are spread evenly around the world.

However, just like a country with a large population and a well-to-do population is stronger, there are currently 10 S-class students in the United States alone.

And all the incarnations of the constellations that signed the incarnation contract.

The power of each of them is enough to turn a country into powder within a day.

For me to transcend those monsters within a month when I’m still only up to A-rank?

“This is not a disaster that can only be prevented with an S-class level. It cannot be done with a rating system trapped in human imagination.”

But Nyarlathotep seemed dissatisfied with that too.

“Kill the constellation and absorb its power. Then you will gain the power of a god in a human body.”

Hearing that, I shuddered.

Kill the Constellation? Isn’t this what I just thought?

“Then there is a constellation I personally want to kill…”

“It’s unfortunate, but that’s not possible. If it’s later, you won’t know again, but in the current situation, the constellations you can kill are limited.”

At her firm words, I instantly rolled my eyes and looked at the expression of Iris standing next to me.

Iris’s face contained a bitter smile as if she hadn’t expected that much.

“The constellation you’re going to kill is the ‘Old Fox of the Back Mountain.’

If it’s an old fox in the mountain behind you… Isn’t that the constellation of Iris?

How could we match exactly the guy we were trying to kill?

“That’s the guy we were trying to kill.”

“It’s all a coincidence. The reason…Is it personal revenge?”

Nyarlathotep guessed at once the reason why we want to kill the fox, as if it’s rotten but it’s a cutie.

I nodded her head lightly, and she smiled lightly.

“You are the only one in the world who wants to take revenge against the Constellation.”

Then she snapped her fingers.

“You’re the only one who can succeed at the same time.”

Then the surroundings were stained with darkness, just like when I signed the incarnation contract.

The only difference from that time is that this time Ctuga and Iris were also brought along.

“Hey, is this…?”

Iris looked around her in surprise.

“Human over there, you have to be the bait.”

“Mi, bait?”

When I said bait like I said earlier, Iris asked with her puzzled face.

“It means that you can find out the location of the constellation.”

Some lower-ranking constellations live in nests on Earth.

And the same goes for the old fox in the back mountain.

It is highly regarded as the only shaman’s constellation, but as you can tell from its name, it is just a fox.

Even if a fox could fly and crawl, it would not be able to defeat a high-ranking being from the beginning.

In the first place, ‘back mountain’ is included in the name, but if you don’t know that you are on Earth, you are an idiot.

The problem was that no one in the world knew exactly where the Constellation lived.

Seeing that Nyara Thotep is also trying to find Iris as her bait, it is said that she is in a position where she will never be seen.

“From now on, I will reap the blessings the old beast gave you one by one.”

“You’re taking it?”

Reaping the blessings bestowed by the constellation.

That is an act beyond common sense that even the person who gave the blessing could not do.

If the blessing could have been retrieved, the fox in the back room would have taken everything that was given to Iris a long time ago.

“At your level, you won’t even get a reaction from the system. Then you can safely take all your blessings.”

But who is she?

Aren’t they the ‘foreign gods’ that all Constellations are hostile to and afraid of?

The level of authority of a low-level constellation living in a nest on Earth was within her scope.

“If that happens, the fox, stimulated by my actions, will use its strength to resist. If you trace it back, you’ll be able to locate it.”

“???”

Iris tilted her head, her face incomprehensible.

No wonder you don’t understand.

To be honest, even I, who knew the power of Nyarlathotep, was surprised.

Iris, who doesn’t even know who she is, understands that greed is too much.

“Do, what the hell is it?”

In the end, unable to contain her curiosity, Iris asked, stuttering her words.

“Crawling chaos, lord of a thousand forms, lord of total chaos, a bottle strewn across the floor, or a sharpened blade.”

Nyarlathotep answered the question with blank eyes.

“Looks for eternal entertainment in the outer world outside the universe, and at the same time is a messenger of foreign media.”

Finally, she said with a grin.

“My name is Nyarlathotep…”

[SAN figures 50 / 175]

Tup!

The incomprehensible pronunciation of intonation that came out of Nyarlathotep’s mouth at that time.

At the same time, instinctively realizing that that name was dangerous, I covered Iris’ ears.

Thanks to that, the SAN level went down by 125, but the worst case scenario of Iris going crazy was prevented.

Even I am this much, but if she, a common man, heard it, she would have nothing to say even if she was immediately seized with madness.

“…Damn it. You said it inadvertently with a foreign accent.”

[Foreign agent Nyarlathotep restores your mental power.]

[SAN figures 175 / 175]

As soon as she stretched out her arms, the mental fatigue that enveloped her whole body disappeared at once.

‘Is it okay up to 50 now?’

After repeating the practice of holding out even when the SAN level drops, now it’s pretty good even when the SAN level drops to 50.

But if it falls below that level, I can’t guarantee it.

“Muh, what happened just now?”

Iris, who was deaf to me, asked in surprise.

Perhaps it was because I was blocking it too hard, her ears were burning bright red.

It must have been a bit too strong because it was blocked too quickly.

There shouldn’t be any problems with hearing.

“Sorry, but that’s a name you shouldn’t be hearing right now.”

“Why, why?”

At that, she asked with tears in her eyes if her pride had been hurt.

Certainly, ‘You are not worthy of hearing that person’s name.’ Did you interpret it as meaning?

“It’s not that you don’t deserve it. That name alone is a curse to mankind, and if you hear it, it could cause serious mental problems.”

“Yes, yes?”

At that, Iris looked at me with her stunned face.

Just a name.

I was surprised to hear that the power that can drive people crazy is contained in a mere name.

Because no Constellation will go crazy just by calling it by name.

But contrary to my expectations and her thoughts, the world was filthy wide.

It is said that this world is openly populated with beings beyond constellations.

Now that she is my subordinate, she has to accept that.

“There was a little happening for a while. Just call me Nyarlathotep.”

In the end, she changed it to a name that could be pronounced with human pronunciation, and she gestured to Iris.

“Now I will retrieve your blessing. Come here.”

At her words, Iris looked at me with her slightly fearful face, and I said it was okay and sent her away.

“It doesn’t hurt, so don’t worry.”

Nyarlathotep put a hand on her head and muttered something to her.

[Foreign press Nyarlathotep retrieved the skill ‘One Point Shoot’ from the target ‘Iris’.]

-Yeah man!!!!!!!!!!

At the same time, Iris heard a roar that seemed to leave the world behind.

[The old fox on the mountain behind the constellation is extremely angry.]
