chapter 31
31 – The Sleeper at R’lyeh (8)
Boom!
I looked around while stepping on the motorcycle with full accelerator.
Deep One, Deep One, Deep One, Deep One.
The Cthulhu star spawn was not visible at all, perhaps because it was a major power.
Only the Deep Ones settled all over the city like cockroaches laying their eggs.
I tossed the stones I had picked up in advance and blew their heads off.
The constellation’s stats were high enough to make a shot put with just stones.
‘Have you been lucky?’
Maybe it was luck that I met the Cthulhu Star Spawn earlier?
There’s no way it wouldn’t look like this even if there were only five of them.
At the time I had such thoughts.
Kwaaang!!
A surprisingly loud explosion sounded from behind.
A sound that cannot be imitated with any skill.
‘Hey there!’
I made a U-turn on my motorcycle in a hurry.
There is no doubt there. There must have been a big fight over there.
A big fight must have something to do with Cthulhu Starspawn.
“Hold on tight!”
“Yes!”
A motorcycle accelerating to bursts.
We rushed to the location of the incident at once.
* * *
“Heo-eok, hee-eok…”
I can’t even resist.
The hero allied forces gasped for breath in a hopeless situation.
‘What the hell…!’
Hundreds of class A heroes have gathered.
In fact, they can be said to be Korea’s best power.
Even though they don’t have an S class, they are powerful enough monster troops.
A unit like that.
“Is it okay to do this…”
I was being toyed with by a little girl.
She looks young, about 10 years old, and holds a strange magic book.
It looks safer than anyone else, but it’s actually more dangerous than anything else.
“Let’s see…Don’t I roll?”
Whoop!
Thousands of arrows were created in the air at the words the girl spat out as if confused.
“Ah, that’s a bombing spell. Well, it fires roughly.”
Shahehehe!!
A playful word spoken as if he was not interested.
With that one word, all the arrows began to pierce the ground.
“Keew!!”
Fortunately, it was a regular arrow, so there was no big problem blocking it.
But the problem was at that height.
An arrow that can be pierced in an instant from a height that seems to be at least 300m.
If a stone falls from space, it leaves a huge crater on the ground.
In that sense, 300m was not enough to contain enough power in an arrow.
“Don’t die yet. I still have a lot to experiment with.”
“This, you crazy monster!!”
An enraged berserker from the side threw an axe.
Bingle, round and round.
The ax that was spinning under the weight in front of her struck the girl in the arm.
“Don’t tickle me. It gets in the way.”
But the girl waved her hand as if she wasn’t interested at all.
“This time…My den…”
“Damn it…!”
The attack doesn’t work either.
We go between life and death with one attack from that guy.
I instinctively felt it.
This unit is said to be extinct in this place.
“Keugh!”
I closed my eyes to the impending disaster.
And that was then.
“Hee-hee!”
Puck!
A mysterious mask that suddenly appeared and blew the girl away with one punch.
“… Huh?”
* * *
“Ugh.”
My hand that was hit feels numb.
It’s not an ordinary stone head.
“…What?”
The guy who flew away after being hit in the back of the head looked back.
His face was distorted, as if he was annoyed.
“How could a human harm me?”
[Undying Flame]
Flame!
She ignored her question and fired the fireball.
A flame that never goes out. The moment I touch it, I will burn him.
“Curenta.”
If it can be reached.
A chunk of rock rising from the ground stopped the fire.
The rocks began to melt and turn into magma.
“This… The unquenchable flame? Isn’t that the power of C’tuga?”
She seemed to know the identity of this fire.
“How can humans use the power of Ctuga…”
“How old are you?”
“What?”
I called her as she stared at her rock with her dazed face.
She looked at me with the same expression as I said.
“How many out of 5 are you?”
“…How do you know us?”
“Of course I know.”
Now I have to tell you a shocking fact.
“The third of you lost me and ran away.”
“…! What?!”
Surely my words were shocking, but the guy opened his eyes wide and screamed.
“There’s no way my sister would be beaten by a guy like you! Don’t lie!”
“Why…Wasn’t that…A spearman? Because he was beaten, he ran away crying?”
“Profit…!”
That’s not wrong.
You ran away crying when Cthulhu beat you.
And even if I kept fighting, I’m the one who wins, so it’s a fact that I can’t lie about.
“I’m the youngest of five! I’ll kill you!”
“I thought he was the youngest.”
You look younger than you look.
“Gillion!”
She recites an incantation in a cracking voice as if she was very annoyed.
Hooung!
Then a strong wind blew and began to float him.
‘How to sing a chant so easily?’
Magic basically requires chanting.
A very long first-deal system where you have to memorize a chant for at least 10 seconds to use one magic spell.
The only thing that doesn’t need a chant is magic, but it’s my skill that doesn’t count as magic, and it’s the only thing that’s free from spells like witchcraft.
In other words, all magic must be chanted.
By the way, that chant ended with just one word?
This is a level that is unparalleled anywhere in the world.
‘So it must be a Cthulhu star spawn.’
“Croon!”
Quang!
Lightning rains down from the gloomy sky.
The lightning twisted grotesquely as if it had a will and struck me.
“…You are weak.”
“What?”
“You can’t even compare to him.”
Tuk, tok.
Natural Disasters.
Phenomena that have the power to bring human civilization back to nothing at once.
In other words.
“Nature can’t beat me.”
It does not work on those who are beyond human.
Lightning.
Sparks created by electrical discharges in the air between clouds and the earth’s surface.
The power is strong, but it passes through the body so quickly that it gives a shock that even ordinary people can survive.
‘The one I just received is different.’
The act of driving hundreds of lightning bolts into the body at once.
It was no different from being struck by lightning for a long time.
Anyway, it’s lightning.
“The third of you did harm to me.”
“Shut up! Grunta!”
Plop!
“Oops.”
As I shouted his spell, a hole was punched through the floor.
The hole was filled with hot lava.
“I wear a mask, damn it!”
Chiik.
My clothes burn at once.
If you lose your hair like this, the mask will burn too.
Splash, splash.
I trembled as I rushed to the ground.
It seems that your body temperature has dropped when you suddenly come out of a warm place to a cold place.
“…Tall for a human.”
“Focus on the fight. Don’t look at anything strange.”
All of my clothes were burned, exposing my body, but I didn’t care.
Because the face was covered anyway. It didn’t matter as long as the face wasn’t covered.
“You three were strong. You even scarred me with your spear. But who are you?”
“Shut up!”
All sorts of meteorological phenomena come over me.
Blocks of ice rained down in hailstones, and sinkholes drowned me.
In that phenomenon, I thought.
‘The strength is different depending on the number.’
This could be good news or bad news for me.
The fourth and fifth are easy to hold.
But second and first, isn’t it that it’s going to be hard to catch?
You may need to revise your plan.
‘Shall we finish now?’
Tadak!
After escaping from the sinkhole, I took off at once.
“…?! Whoops!”
And then I hit him in the stomach.
It felt strange because it felt like hitting a child.
However, this guy is a Cthulhu Star Spawn who thoroughly fooled the hero units until just now.
There is no mercy.
“Oh, it hurts…”
f*ck!
Two consecutive hits.
‘Effort pays off.’
When I was in F grade, I learned all kinds of taijutsu.
Boxing, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu and more.
I even learned Muay Thai, so there will be few people who can follow me in the martial arts academy.
Thinking about it now, I think I had a talent for taijutsu.
If you hadn’t awakened, you would have done MMA.
“Creepy!”
But I currently don’t have any physical skills.
There are only two attack skills.
Avatar of chaos and unquenchable flame.
It would be nice to have a strike-type skill… Ah.
‘Backroom fox.’
With the power of a fox, I could also use magic.
I forgot this.
“[Enforcement Spirit]”
Ugh!
I felt my legs harden like stones.
f*ck!
“Kyaaagh!”
When I landed a low kick to test the feeling, she collapsed in one fell swoop.
‘Crazy.’
The power is no joke.
Did I hit you with a hammer at that moment? To the extent of misunderstanding.
Tumbling.
“What is this…”
As she sat down, her body began to tremble.
I didn’t show any more will to resist, I just endured the intense pain from my legs.
“It hurts, it hurts…”
Should I kill this or save it?
I started thinking seriously.
If you kill it, cleanup is simple. But there’s a chance you’ll hate Cthulhu.
No matter how much he attacked first, he killed his own daughter.
‘Good.’
sh*t.
“Kyaaak?! Let go, let go! You pervert!”
“Don’t say things that will mislead people.”
I’m going to arrest you and take you home.
The kidnapping of a young girl naked. Even if I was reported right away, I had nothing to say.
But he can’t really be a child.
Common sense imprisoned him with Cthulhu, but he must be at least 1,000 years old.
“Quaaah!”
So I took him and approached Iris who was hiding.
“Let’s go home for a while.”
“Yeah, I see…Quaaa?!”
Iris came out laughing, blushing and hastily covering her eyes.
‘…Ah.’
That’s right, I was naked.
