My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 121
Episode 121. Ambush, And
Black mist blooming like flowers in the sky.
Having shattered the power they had gathered for over a minute with a single punch, I clenched my fist tightly and moved the mist spread through the air.
[Mist – Shadow of Fog]
Writhe.
The mist pulsed once like a living creature.
With the corners of my mouth raised, I compressed the mist forcefully.
“Kraaaah-!”
“Keurk!”
The screams of those trapped in the mist echoed out.
Just the right amount.
I compressed the mist just enough to shatter their bones as I fell downward.
[Head shot]
At that moment, an arrow shot through the mist.
Seeing the arrow flying precisely toward my head, I reached forward and caught it.
“What the…!”
Extremely sharp mana was contained within it.
It must be a skill.
I crushed the mana-surging arrow by applying force to my hand.
Debris falling down below.
What remained in my hand was only the upper part of the arrow with the arrowhead attached.
Still falling, I pulled the hand holding the arrow back behind my shoulder.
“Roughly… around there, I guess.”
Outside the scattered mist.
Detecting faint mana on a tree, I hurled the arrow toward that location.
“Keurp…!”
A man falling with an arrow lodged in his abdomen.
Without even glancing at him, I crossed my arms to block my right side.
“You think you can block my sword with just your arms?”
Thwang!
Despite blocking with crossed arms, shock spread through my entire body.
I was driven straight down into the ground.
[Mist]
Mist erupting from my entire body layered upon itself.
My rapid falling speed gradually slowed as I was enveloped in mist.
Landing safely on the ground, I looked at the man holding the sword.
He was positioned with his sword sheathed, ready to draw.
Right knee bent forward, opposite foot stretched straight back.
‘Quick draw.’
Taking the stance for what’s commonly called quick-draw swordsmanship, he was focusing entirely on me.
Seeing this, I chuckled and spoke to the man.
“Hey, mister. Aren’t you forgetting something?”
“…?”
“I’m not the only one here, am I?”
Crackle-
As soon as I finished speaking, a streak of lightning shot up, passing between the man and me.
Turning his head at the considerable mana contained within it, his pupils trembled violently.
“Hey, Tengen. Do you remember my face?”
In front of the collapsed building.
Rai with electrical wire clenched in his mouth.
He was accumulating endlessly replenished electricity in his body while continuously emitting blue lightning.
“Y-you are…!”
“The memory of always tormenting me while standing next to that despicable uncle. I haven’t forgotten.”
Rai clapped his hands lightly.
At that moment, dozens of bladed weapons appeared from nowhere, rising high into the sky charged with magnetism.
“You did quite a number on Hikari, didn’t you?”
“No matter how much you act superior, you’re still a failure…”
“Seems you’ve forgotten about me this time.”
Whoosh.
The sound of cutting through air reached my ears.
Tengen turned his head urgently, but it was already too late.
Having swung my fist at Tengen, I spoke calmly to him as he spun through the air.
“You look old, but don’t have much real combat experience, do you?”
Tengen came to a stop after smashing through trees with a tremendous crash.
I had held back enough to just knock him unconscious, but maybe I held back too much.
Having only broken one arm, he got up from the debris and shouted.
“You bastard!”
“Tengen, your opponent is me.”
“Kuk…!”
Whether angry about getting hit by me, Tengen shouted in my direction.
But Rai was already charging at him with electricity-charged weapons.
Rai pressed Tengen hard, wielding axes, swords, and other bladed weapons floating in the air.
He tried to block Rai’s attacks with his good arm, but the more they exchanged blows, the more wounds accumulated on his body.
“Was it two years ago when we last faced each other!?”
“Kruk…!”
“Back then you trampled on me, asking how I dared return to Hokkaido!”
Rai’s sword struck down on his right foot.
Tengen, with his foot pierced through, swallowed his scream and swung his sword roughly.
Rai stepped back and easily dodged the obvious attack.
Then instead of the sword stuck in Tengen’s foot, he grabbed a magnetically floating axe and swung it wide.
‘He’ll handle that side just fine on his own.’
What I need to think about are the remaining enemies continuing to swarm in.
I turned my head toward the forest where more presences were gathering.
Then Hikari, descending from the sky wrapped in light, extended her hand to the side and spoke.
“Those are all people from the Narukami Clan who came looking for me. So I will face them.”
Just like when we first met yesterday.
Hikari, returning to her expressionless face, said this while emanating light from her entire body.
The light growing brighter and brighter.
The intensity of that light gradually increased in size until it reached the ends of the sky.
The light that had swelled so large began to shrink at some point.
[Optics]
It transformed into a sparkling sphere of light floating in the air.
The sphere was glowing bright yellow as if it had compressed all the light that had been radiating moments before.
Taking a step forward, Hikari pointed her finger at those emerging from the forest.
[Flash]
A single flash.
That flash became a beam of light that obliterated the area along with those who had been charging.
Having stopped those who were charging once, Hikari carefully took the sphere of light floating in the air into her hands and held it to her chest.
Soon the sphere of light began to seep into her body.
And her hair gradually began to turn yellow.
“That’s…”
Last night.
The appearance Hikari had shown when her emotions became intense.
It matched that appearance completely.
Hikari, who absorbed the light with her entire body, slowly rose into the sky.
And from her body floating in the air, light flowed out once again.
But it wasn’t the same light as before.
It was a special light that took on a certain form.
‘Clothes?’
The light flowing from her body was shaped into a certain form.
Long sleeves.
Wide pants that looked like a skirt.
[Optics – War Radiance]
A shrine maiden.
Having crafted the clothes worn by those who serve the gods from light, she extended her right hand’s index and middle fingers and swept them downward.
Light gathering at the tips of her extended fingers.
And like drawing a bowstring, Hikari pulled her right hand back.
The more she pulled her hand back, the larger the light gathered at her fingertips grew.
The larger the light grew, the hotter the heat intensified.
The moment all that gathered light concentrated at a single point.
She released the light that had filled her hand.
[Optics – Flash]
A beam twice as powerful as the first light ray she had fired swept across the area.
Having created a scene as if bombardment had poured down, she let out a thin breath.
“If you intend to face me, bring Uncle with you.”
Hikari spoke only facts in a monotone voice.
Those who had barely escaped the attack range all looked at Hikari with fearful faces.
“You’re quite strong, aren’t you?”
“…I’ve been receiving training close to torture under Uncle’s supervision continuously.”
Ever since leaving the Tutorial Tower.
To punish the criminal who murdered her family, she had been training continuously.
She had been forced to live such a life.
“Those who aren’t strong don’t suit the Narukami Clan. I’ve been hearing those words constantly.”
When she would eliminate Rai and inherit the clan.
She thought she had to become someone worthy of that.
“Now that I think about it, even if I eliminate my brother and inherit the clan, nothing would change.”
Inherit the clan in place of Rai?
Even so, nothing would change.
The clan already belonged to Gaien.
She wouldn’t have escaped the fate of being a puppet.
“Now, choose. Will you die here by my hand, or will you preserve your lives and return to the clan?”
Hikari’s voice descended over their heads like a death sentence.
Trembling at the overwhelming difference in power, they began to turn and leave one by one.
“This will sting.”
“I, I am a loyal retainer of the Narukami Clan, Aoi Tengen-.”
“Shut up.”
Silence that came with sparks flying up.
It looks like that side is finished too.
I let out a big sigh and looked around.
“Wow… I didn’t expect it to become such a mess.”
Not only the people sprawled on the ground and the inn’s wall with holes in it.
Even the forest that had been full of trees had become a complete mess.
As I was scratching the back of my head with an expression wondering what to do about this, something caught my eye.
“Oh.”
Trickle-
A stream of water flowing from where Hikari had destroyed.
When I squinted and looked, steam was flowing from above.
“Is that a hot spring?”
“It… seems like it.”
What a truly fascinating place.
I muttered quietly and decided to clean up the sprawled people first.
* * *
“…There must be chaos by now, right?”
“I think so.”
Inside the bumping car due to traveling on an unpaved mountain road.
Seong Yu-mi, sitting with her chin resting and legs crossed, chuckled and tapped her phone.
“I should leave a message for Black Dragon. Tell him not to worry about the inn collapsing.”
“If Hunter Han Mi-reo sees that message, won’t he ask why you went out knowing this would happen?”
“He could handle whoever came by himself anyway, so what does it matter? And… we have things we need to do too, so it can’t be helped.”
“That’s true.”
Even if they wanted to help, it couldn’t be helped.
While Han Mi-reo was getting involved with Rai and Hikari yesterday.
They had also discovered something.
“Maybe there isn’t just one.”
“…”
Screech.
The car stopping in the middle of the forest.
After sending the message and turning off her phone, Seong Yu-mi left the phone in the car entirely and got out.
“Is this the place?”
“Yes, this is Shirayuki, one of the three families that oversee the S-rank Promotion Exam together with the Narukami Clan.”
“It’s in a secluded place too. As if they’re hiding something.”
Seong Yu-mi shrugged and muttered, then covered herself and Jeong Chan-woo’s bodies with mana.
The presence of both people instantly became faint.
After stepping on fallen leaves and confirming no footsteps could be heard, Seong Yu-mi smiled and wiggled her finger.
“Shall we go in quickly? This isn’t the only place.”
“Yes.”
* * *
After tying up all the unconscious people in one place.
I roughly grabbed my phone and frowned while looking at a message that came 10 minutes ago.
-Pretty and Good Demon King-nim-nim-nim: Black Dragon, you can destroy the inn as much as you want, so don’t worry about it!
-Pretty and Good Demon King-nim-nim: Do your best today too!
This person knew before going out.
Well, I expected this result too, so it would be strange if Seong Yu-mi or Jeong Chan-woo didn’t expect it.
Anyway, it’s fortunate that she says it doesn’t matter.
I put my phone in my pocket and stared at Rai, who was trampling on the unconscious Tengen, and Hikari, who was agreeing beside him.
“Damn bastard.”
“Brother, Tengen has a bad right knee. He was injured a year ago.”
“Really? That’s good information, Hikari.”
When Rai stimulated the knee with electricity, Tengen writhed while unconscious.
The two of them were smiling with apparent enjoyment as they watched Tengen.
I really don’t want to admit it when I see them like that.
“They look alike.”
Rai, who seemed like a playboy, and Hikari, who seemed like a model student, didn’t look much alike for siblings.
Their eyes, their behavior, everything was different.
But now that I look at them, their smiling faces are identical copies.
The problem is that they’re smiling while torturing someone.
“Hikari, is that man quite strong within the Narukami Clan?”
“Ah, Mir-sama. You mean Tengen? If it’s Tengen, he’d be among the quite strong ones in the Narukami Clan. He’s probably about Uncle’s left hand.”
So that level is the left hand.
Stroking my chin, I looked back in the direction where people had been rushing until just a moment ago.
“…You said there’s no Flame Emperor at the Narukami Clan right now.”
“Yes, he said he’d be away until the Saturday banquet.”
“Is that so?”
Grin.
Pulling up the corners of my mouth, I turned my head toward the two and said.
“I’m already pissed about being attacked, so shall we go pay them back?”
“That means…”
“Let’s go cause havoc before the homeowner returns.”
How dare they attack me while I’m resting?
Then I just need to pay them back in kind.
“Today, the Narukami Clan falls.”
Physically, that is.
Chuckling, I looked at Rai and Hikari.
The two who heard my words also.
“Quite appealing.”
“Sounds like a good idea.”
Were letting out the same laughter as me.
Good.
From now on.
It’s time for counterattack.
