The pervert wearing a mantle jumped back as if he were trying to escape
the moment he saw my smile.
「I'll repeat this for the last time. Cancel the concealment effect that makes
you look like a genuine small fry, RIGHT, NOW!」
My last warning to the pervert in the mantle sounded calm and composed,
but it didn't allow any refusal.
『J-J-JUST WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU!!?』
「Hah? I've told you before that my name is Kai Heineman, right?」
『As if such a name has any meaning to one who can wield such
power!?』
The pervert kept muttering that nonsensical remark,
「Are you still going to spout such trivial lines at this late stage of the
fight? Or, are you looking down on me for being incompetent? Wait a little
bit, you might change your mind after I slaughtered all of your
subordinates.」
「What are you―」
I ignored the pervert who was trying to say something, placed my hand on
the hit of Murasame―
「True Commandement Sword Art, One Sword Style, fourth form――」
Thread made from my mana that my body releases spread in the wasteland,
capturing all the beast-headed monsters whose number reached thousands.
And then―
「—Arachne(Poisonous Spider's Nest)」
The moment I recited that, Murasame's sword blade was unleashed from its
sheath. All the beast-headed monsters' heads fell on the ground, which was
then followed by sprays of blood from the bodies that had lost their heads,
and finally. All those small fries fell on the ground like puppets whose
strings had been cut loose. Thus, those thousands of beast-headed monsters
died without even being able to resist at all.
The skill I had used just now was [True Commandement Sword Art],
fourth form, Arachne(Poisonous Spider's Nest).
This fourth form used a thread of mana that spread to all directions to
search for its target. Then, it would unleash a single sword strike to any
target that got caught in the range of the thread. This was something I had
chanced upon when I tried to test whether I could cut through the space by
applying [Commandement Throwing Art] into my slash.
Nevertheless, since the searching range of the mana thread was quite short,
and since it was a single-strike skill, it wouldn't be that useful against a
truly strong man. In short, this was a special skill to annihilate small fries.
『…』
When he turned his face around, the red-haired pervert realized that all of
his subordinates had already been annihilated. His expression was truly a
sight to behold.
「Do you understand now? I'm not a weakling that will make you regret
going all out.」
『I see, you must be an assassin god sent by the heavenly army to kill me,
right!?』
Assassin god? Is this fella right in the head? There's no such thing as a
god in this world. They are watching from above. Was his head hit by
something? No, wait a minute, I think I've read about this in the book I
found in that easy dungeon, I think this is mental illness. This mental illness
affects adolescent humans from age of 13 until 15—sometimes until they are
adults—and is called 『Chuunibyou』. This pervert actually suffers from
such an illness.
「I see! So you're suffering from such unfortunate mental diseases, huh.
No wonder you dared to walk in broad daylight in such a perverted
costume.」
Well, he was going to die the next second since I have no shred of sympathy
for this guy.
『You really are creepy fella through and through! Anyhow, I'm sure that
you'll become a hindrance for that personage if I leave you on your own
device. That's why…』
「That's why?」
『YOU'RE GOING TO DIE HERE!!』
The pervert's appearance transformed as he let out a bestial roar. His whole
body creaked like a broken jar. His muscles swelled up, and a pair of bat
wings appeared on his back.
Then, his face transformed into that of a reptile's. What is he trying to do
now? Normally speaking, I would chop him to pieces the moment I spotted
such a defenceless state during transformation, but… My current priority
was to know how powerful I am in this world. Because I knew if I didn't
take this risk to properly understand how powerful I am in this world, it
might come back to bite me back in the future. Thus, I decided to wait
properly until that pervert finished his transformation, even if that went
against my principle to attack the enemy in their defenceless state.
""
「…」
After the transformation had completed, I stared in silence toward the
pervert with a half-opened mouth, but…,
「No way! Is this your true strength?」
I barely managed to squeeze those words upon seeing his transformation.
『Yes, This is my M-O-I! It's too late even if you get scared shi*tless now.
You've killed my subordinates. You'll pay for your sin with your body and
soul!』
The reality was truly cruel.
「No way! The one who's gonna close the curtain of this act is…」
I'm looking down on my feet as if to express my current state, taking an
extremely deep breath, and exhaling it.
『THIS IS IT! THIS IS IIIIIIIIII! I really can't get enough of the scene
when a strongman like you is trembling in fear before my true
poweeeeeeeeeer!!!』
「To think I arrived too late again…」
I mean, there was no way that this small fry could defeat the knight leader,
the strongest in person in the kingdom. That strongman must have left after
they defeated Arnold, leaving this small fry to take care of the rest. I mean,
the fact that this pervert mentioned 『That Personage』 made me even
more sure of my congestion. In the end, I failed to meet a strongman again
and know my strength in this world. Dammit all! THIS MUST BE A
CURSE!!
『You, w-what are you talking about――』
The pervert wearing a mantle tried to punch me with his right hand.
「SHUT UP!! CAN'T YOU SEE MY SADNESS NOW!!」
I drew Murasame and sliced that pervert's right hand.
『GUGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!』
I only got more and more annoyed seeing the pervert screaming like a sissy.
Even though I was annoyed by this situation…
「I have no use for useless small fries like you. Now die.」
I sentenced the pervert wearing a mantle with the death penalty.
『W-Wai―』
The pervert desperately tried to jump back to escape from me but he ended
up falling on his rear. And then―
『Eh?』
He finally saw a pair of legs in front of him, his own legs.
『Is that, my leg?』
He screamed again upon realizing this.
『N-NO! I WILL NEVER COME TO MEDDLE WITH THIS WORLD
AGAIN IIIIIIIIIIII!!』
「I'm also tired of hearing your nonsense delusion.」
I turned around, sent a sidelong glance to the crying pervert, swung
[Murasame] to the side to get rid of the blood on it. Only then did I
return it into its sheath.
『Y-You're sparing me?』
「Sparing your life? What are you talking about?」
""
I had no intention to spare the life of this lowlife who had brought only
misery to humans. The reason I sheathed Murasame was simply that it had
already accomplished its job.
『HYIIII! W-WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MEEEEEEE!!?』
Countless fine lines started to appear on the pervert's body. Those lines then
started to slide off slowly, one-by-one.
『MY FACE, MY BODY IS CRUMBLIIIIIIIING!!』
The pervert desperately tried to reconnect his crumbling body.
『IGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!』
His entire body crumbled down into fine pieces of meat along with his
dying wail.
Good grief! Here I thought that I finally got the chance to know the level of
my current strength in this world and yet, only to arrive after the strongman
had left, leaving only these f*cking small fry amongst small fry. Nowadays,
it felt like I was relegated to the role of cleaning up these small fries.
After heaving a sigh and feeling extremely downhearted, I, who had
finished my job, went back toward Barse. While walking, I brushed the
healing slimes, which had splendidly finished their job as their rewards till
they were satisfied. Only after that did I send them back into the
Subjugation Picture Book.
