Evil Avalon

Chapter 95-Majin's Constraints

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

"So I want to go outside. Can you tell me what I should do?"

　Just as the three of us, Amama, Kuga, and I, were about to win a fierce battle against the Lesser Demon, the Demon appeared.

　The red eyes filled with madness were in contrast to the still childishly mild face. He was a far cry from the mature-looking demon I remembered. If he even knew about us, I had to wonder if he might be a player.

　

　When I had a discussion with Lisa in the park in the middle of the night before, I had assumed that the player might have gotten into not only the E class students, but also the higher classes but. ...... I had no idea it was a demon person. It seems a little too cheaty, though.

　

'Haah Don't just stand there and tell me."

"...... who are you? What skill did you just use?"

"Don't ask irrelevant questions. I'm the one asking the questions. Yes, one point deduction."

　Kuga-san took a different distance from when he first approached us, and asked him questions with caution. She seems to want to ask about his true identity and what skill he had used that topped the Lesser Demon. The demon, on the other hand, replies with an innocent smile, "If you lose three points, I'll kill you," but his eyes are lethargic and he doesn't seem to be in a proper state. Yes, those eyes.

　

　The eyes that seem to be in a dangerous state of mind, like they could kill someone. Perhaps the player's unique skills, like my "Gluttony" or Lisa's "Rut," are putting a strain on his or her mind. Or it could be a side reaction to the unique body of a demon. I have heard that although a Majin or Fiend looks like a human, their physical abilities, magical properties, and mental structure are very different from those of humans.

　

　In any case, it is dangerous to stay in the vicinity of such a person for any length of time. It would be better if I took the initiative to answer the question and have him released us as soon as possible.

　

　This demon said he wanted to go "outside. If he meant he wanted to go outside the dungeon, why not just use the "gate" or walk out?

"By "outside," I assume you mean outside the dungeon. Why can't  you just go out normally?"

"I don't know. I couldn't use the "eject" function no matter how many times I tried, and neither the return stone nor the "gate" function worked. When I tried to leave on foot, I would get lost, my body would get tired, and if I tried to force my way out, I would get sent back to where I was."

　He tried all kinds of escape magic (eject) and escape items, but they all failed. Movement is also blocked or blocked by some kind of power. At a loss for what to do, he happened to hear the faint scream of a demon, so he flew in that direction and miraculously made it here. Is the demon resonating with the soul of the demon?

　

"!I've been trying to get out every day since I came to this world, and ...... this is the chance I finally got. I'm not letting anyone leave until I know I can get out.

《 Dimension Isolator》."

　He raised his fist and released the skill as if he was gripping the sky tightly. Then a creaking sound is heard from the entire hall, and immediately afterward it begins to distort geometrically. The sudden activation of the skill causes Amama to look around in surprise.

　

"What did you do? My eyes are flickering."

"Nothing much I just closed the space in this area so that no one can escape with the return stone."

"Damn, Can someone even do that?"

　  The main use of this skill is by special boss monsters in the deeper levels, but is it something that even players can learn?

"But ...... I don't know how you can get out."

"I won't let you out until I know. Think about it."

　Kuga-san's expression of disapproval is evident as it is decided without question that she will be locked in this room.  If, nevertheless, there is no answer, then who knows ...... or is there a possibility that the same demon person would know?

　

　I remember that Obaba once told me that she could not leave her store freely when I took a quest to defeat Bloody Baron. That's why she had ordered me to collect the "thing," and it's possible that she was in the same situation as this demon.

　

"Did you ask your other friends about it?　That could be a characteristic of the Fiend."

'Fiend? Like demon? Like me?.......I've never been able to get anywhere, so I haven't met or talked to any of the other fiends ......, but it might be a good idea. I can't move, so go call or ask anyway."

　I can't call them, but I might be able to at least go ask Furufuru. But first I have to get him out of here.

　

"Well, I'll break the blockade, but I'll hold you on as a ...... hostage so others won't escape. 　《Cryonics Prison》.

"What ......"

"Narumi, Watch out!"

　The demon turned his palm toward me and tried to use his skill on me. Seeing this, Tenma-san quickly put her body in to protect me, but instead she was hit with the "Freezing Prison" and instantly covered in ice.

"Oh? Why are you protecting Butao?"

What he had just used was an action-inhibiting magic used by advanced magic professionals. Since it is not just ice, it would be impossible to escape even if Tenma-san used "Monstrous Power". Even if I tried to disarm it, it would be impossible for me to do so. However, her life is not in immediate danger.

　

I don't care either way but if you don't get there soon, she might freeze to death, you know? Hurry up. ...... oops."

"Deactivate all your skills. Otherwise,......."

　Perhaps not seeing a good future if she continued to do as the demon said, Kuga-san, who had killed her presence, came up behind him, placed a knife to the demon's neck, and demanded that he release his skills. But the threat had no effect. On the contrary, it had the opposite effect.

"It's useless. That thing can't even hurt me. But you still need a punishment right?"

　As soon as she hears the answer, she tries to push the knife in with force, but the blade at the base of her neck is plucked at an unseen speed and is pushed down with that alone. Kuga-san, realizing the overwhelming difference in STR muscular strength, let go of the knife and move away, and pulled out her main weapon, a dagger, and held it at the ready.

　

　She probably used "Appraisal" to check the difference in level, and thought she had a chance to win, so she set up his attack. However, the larger the difference in level, the larger the margin of error in the appraisal results, and even more so, the more bullshit the numerical values are displayed.

　

　It can be said that it can't be helped because she has never met an opponent of this level before, but even if it is ......, it is not a good idea to provoke that Fiend unnecessarily. 

　

"Anyway, ......"

"Wait! Calm down!"

　His eyes widened in the color of madness, and he reached out his hand toward Kuga-san, trying to grab something. I have a bad feeling about that magic. ...... I absolutely have to stop it. I hastily pulls out my sword and slashes at him, but without even looking, he plucks the blade with one hand.

　

"Kotone-chan has a ~deadly ...... death penalty! Ah?"

"......, ......!"

　The Fiend crushes something. 

" Was it funny?"

"You! What did you just do?"

　

　I tried to hit him with all her might, but he grabbed me by the arm and punched me away. The vision goes round and round, and the right arm is so hot that it makes me pass out. I mean, it must hurts! One can tell just by looking at my  arm which  is twisted in a funny direction.

　Was she blown up to the wall in that instant? I couldn't see what had happened. The demon looked at me as if he was staring at something trivial.

　

　" I'm not going to let a pigtailed pig beat me, Next time you come at me, I'll pull your head off."

　"aaaah 《Recovery 》!"

　

　While enduring the pain that made me feel like I was going to pass out, I cast a recovery magic towards my broken arm. The broken bone should have been attached by doing this,......, so the connection between the nerve and the bone should have been successful, but the pain and the swelling have not gone down much. Blood continues to flow slowly from the shredded skin. But that's all right for the time being.

　

"Wow. That's a great endurance. But it still looks ...... different from the pigtails I know. It's Sota Narumi, right? You're kind of skinnier than I thought you'd be."

　 He put his hand on my chin and asked, "How could that sexual harasser come to such a place in the hierarchy?" All I could do was wait for the pain to subside while sweating. Still, in order to break through the current situation, I desperately try to catch my breath and think.

　

　

(The three of us were about to ...... join forces to defeat the demon and return in a big circle of friendship.)

　

　I look at Kuga-san, who is not even twitching. I thought we had made a backroom pact and would be able to live our school life quietly from now on,...... but my heart is about to burst. On the other hand, my kind-hearted best friend, Amama-san, was put on ice because she defended me. I don't know how much strength she will have if she continue to lose body heat like that. I have to do something quickly. ......

　

　Is it best to honestly go to Furufuru to ask? If I went to ask her, would there be any guarantee that he would let Tenma go? And is he the kind of guy who would keep his word, when he  would let  Kuga-san die just because she was in the way?

　

　After all, players are dangerous for people living in this world. Because of their power and knowledge, they always do unexpected things. Even if this demon goes out, I don't think he will do nothing and live peacefully. Then--

　

(Oh, ...... I see.)

　

　I might be able to solve this problem if I kill this guy. The spatial sealing skill and freezing magic will be released without question once this guy is dead. The revival of Kuga-san should succeed with a high probability, since not much time has passed. If I hurry back and consult with Sera-san, she may be able to ask the [saint] to do it for us.

(TL:Awaken)

　

　If I remember correctly, the level of this demon was probably in the late 30s. The difference in level seems tremendous, but I would rather die than give up at this point. Of course, I will not die in vain, and I will win at any cost,......, but there is no way I can fight a long-term battle against this level of opponent, so I have to make a plan to finish him off with a single blow for sure.

　

　To do so, I would need to release my skills with the best buffs I could muster at the moment, but I would surely be killed if I were to pile up my buff skills in front of him. Then what should I do?

　

 "Hey, what kind of NPC would ignore me?"

　The tone of his voice was in state of worry  like "Oh dear," but there was a lot of murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at me. The next time I ignore him, he'll kill you.

"I'm ...... Sota Narumi. I'll use the gate and go to Obaba's place right away."

"Hmm? You are being very honest, aren't you? But I don't think you'll be able to come back if you use the floor gate (*1), so you'll make a "gate" right here and leave it open ."

"Oh, thank you. I'll be right back."

　The "gate" was created in front of me and I can go through it with magic power, and in an instant, My vision will be rewritten and I will be transferred to the square in front of Obaba's store. Mobilizing all of my mental strength, which is about to shatter at any moment, I immediately draws up a magic circle of 《Satanakia Stem Cell》, and then activates it. The right arm, which was connected to the miscellaneous by a strong HP regenerative effect, is repaired in the blink of an eye with a cloud of blood.

　

"Hah,...... even at this level the load is still high,...... but it's well within the acceptable range."

　The next step is to prepare to draw a magic circle for the strongest buffing skill I can use, "Overdrive". I haven't used this since that bonehead.

"Wait for me, Tenma-san, Kuga-san ...... soon, I'll come to your rescue."

(*1) Floor Gate

A gate located in a dungeon area; to jump to a specific floor other than the first floor, you must register your magic power at that floor in advance. This term is used to distinguish it from 《Gate》, which can be learned by skill.

TL Note- Kuga died....

Tenma is going to die....

This Fiend player will be killed ...
