My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 126

Episode 126. Salt Emperor (Complete)

The moment flames erupted from the ground.

I reflexively succeeded in releasing mist from my entire body.

‘…This is really fucking insane.’

How the hell did he survive?

Normally when your heart explodes, you’re supposed to die, aren’t you?

I let out a hollow laugh and gritted my teeth as I glared with wide eyes.

‘It’s hot.’

Heat that was even more intense than anything I’d felt before.

The speed at which the mist burned was faster than the speed at which I could release it.

At this rate, I’d burn to death without even leaving bones behind.

I had to get out.

However.

[Synchronization Rate 10.5%]

My already melted leg muscles wouldn’t allow me to move forward.

Thud.

My knees collapsed to the ground.

Having fallen to my knees on the ground like that, I collapsed to the ground with my vision spinning dizzily.

‘I have to get up.’

I’m not dead yet.

I’m alive.

I have to get up.

I know everything.

I’m aware of it all.

But my body doesn’t seem inclined to follow my head.

[Synchronization Rate 10.6%]

Sizzle.

The burned muscle fibers snapped without even being able to scream.

My legs with melted tendons no longer moved according to my will.

Even so, I didn’t give up.

I gritted my teeth and glared with wide eyes.

‘Move. Right now.’

Mist seeped through the holes in my flesh.

The mist tangled like thread and gripped my bones in place of the severed muscles.

I moved even when I couldn’t move.

I had to move.

Like that, I replaced my malfunctioning body with mist.

[Muhan (Mist Return) – Mist Armor]

I stood up from where I was.

Creak, creak.

My body didn’t feel like my own body.

It was as if my body had become a puppet.

[Synchronization Rate 10.7%]

I wore a twisted smile at that alien sensation.

I didn’t care whether my body was screaming or not.

I simply armed my body to finish off the one who made me like this.

That was all.

[Synchronization Rate 10.8%]

The body replaced by mist was stained with black mist like tattoos had been carved into it.

The body stained black rippled subtly like living aurora.

Dense black mist flowing from my entire body that couldn’t be hidden.

I slowly moved forward, staining my path with black mist.

Like that, step by step.

Moving forward, I succeeded in escaping from the prison of black flames.

I had only looked at it for a few seconds, but why did the blue sky seem like it had been so long since I’d seen it?

Lowering my head from the sky I’d been staring at as if entranced, I glared at Gaien who no longer looked human at all and shouted as if chewing the words.

“I thought I was going to die, you bastard.”

Now.

Since I came back without dying, let’s fight again.

Raising the corners of my mouth, I kicked off the ground and charged.

‘Fast.’

As if mist was stronger than an ordinary body no matter what.

I had simply kicked off the ground normally, but that speed was faster than before.

Becoming a streak of dark light, I shot forward and drove my fist into Gaien’s abdomen.

“Kheuk!”

Black blood spurted from Gaien’s mouth.

Feeling pain only briefly, he created a sword of black flames and swung it toward me.

No, he tried to swing it.

[Thousand Changes]

Extending from the body consumed by mist, from the dense mist pooled on the ground.

[Sword]

If only a sword of mist hadn’t risen up and pierced through his forearm.

Gritting his teeth, Gaien shattered the mist sword and swung his sword.

However.

“Scatter.”

The moment the mist sword was shattered, it scattered into several strands.

The scattered mist sword soon transformed into thousands of needles.

[Thousand Changes – Ten Thousand Alterations]

And pierced through Gaien’s entire body.

He couldn’t move at all.

All the muscles in his body.

All the nerves in his body.

Everything had been pierced by sharp mist needles.

I grinned wickedly at the frozen Gaien and said.

“This is what you did to me earlier, right?”

“-!?”

Black mist erupted from inside Gaien’s body.

The black mist bursting from within helplessly extinguished the black flame armor he was wearing.

It wasn’t the flames extinguishing the mist.

The mist was devouring the flames.

The mana inside his body.

The demonic energy.

The black mist was chewing up and swallowing it all.

I reached out my right hand and grabbed his frozen face.

Mist compressed to the extreme rippled between my fingers.

“Thanks. I’ll put it to good use.”

The moment I took in his distorted face beyond the mist.

The thousands of mist thorns embedded in Gaien’s body all shot forward at once.

Mist needles that pierced through Gaien’s body and embedded into the ground.

Soon after, those needles melted back into mist.

And from the ground covered with even more mist.

[The derivative technique ‘Ranmu (Chaotic Mist)’ of ‘Smoke Mist’ is generated.]

[Ranmu (Chaotic Mist)]

[Mist that has lost order rampages violently, crushing everything in its path.]

More dangerous than ever before.

So dangerous that even the slightest touch would crush everything without a trace.

Such perilous mist swirled violently.

[Ranmu (Chaotic Mist) – Storm]

Mist that would grind Gaien alive.

In the place where the storm had swept through once.

“….”

Along with silence.

Only the faintly scattering remnants of demonic energy remained.

I looked at the spot where Gaien had been standing just moments before.

As if the end had already been decided from the moment his heart burst.

The moment he was caught in the ‘Storm’, Gaien vanished without leaving even a trace.

I let out a long breath I had been holding and turned around.

There, Rai and Hikari sat dazedly, looking at me.

“Are you both alright?”

“We’re, we’re fine. But rather, you’re the one who….”

I know that much myself.

‘Armament’, was it.

This thing is absolutely unusable.

Burning to death would probably hurt less.

Now that the battle was over, intense pain came rushing in.

I wouldn’t die, but it felt like my body was being torn apart while still alive.

If only that were all, but I could feel my head gradually becoming foggy too.

Since I was moving by replacing muscles with mist, it was only natural.

After letting out a groan of pain, I focused on extracting the demonic energy that had seeped into my body while looking ahead.

‘What is this.’

The sword Rai was holding in his hand.

I only noticed it now, but some unknown power was flowing from it.

‘Mana?’

It felt like mana, but it wasn’t mana.

To be precise, it felt like a power superior to mana.

Like the mist I use or the power of verdure that Elpinire uses.

Or like the shadows Jini uses and the power of earth that Kargon uses.

Mana, but not mana.

Mana whose very nature had been transformed.

From the sword Rai was holding, such mana continuously flowed out, seeping into Rai’s body.

‘Is he alright?’

Judging by Rai’s expression, he seemed fine.

I clicked my tongue softly and looked at Hikari behind Rai.

At some point, she had turned her head away from me and was looking somewhere else.

Following her gaze, I gradually widened my eyes.

“That is….”

What was there were two corpses moving alive.

The corpses, preserved in an eerily pristine state, resembled Rai and Hikari to an excessive degree.

“…Uncle. No, the one who shared demonic energy with Gaien used necromancy to revive our parents.”

“Revival? That’s not revival. That’s just….”

“Desecration.”

An act of desecrating the dead.

As if to prove that, they weren’t revived but merely creaking like puppets.

Looking at the two parents revived through necromancy, I quietly muttered.

“…Wait. Gaien said he was using demonic energy for the first time.”

From his first appearance throughout.

Gaien had continuously said that he had just recently accepted demonic energy.

And now.

He said that necromancy was also done by the one who put demonic energy into Gaien.

That means, in other words.

“Gaien wasn’t part of Macheongoe…?”

The moment that thought reached me.

A dangerous force began swirling from the sky along with massive lightning.

Creaking as I turned my head, I looked up at the sky that had turned red.

“Sudden Gate.”

High in the sky.

What filled that space was none other than a massive Sudden Gate.

The power flowing out was extraordinary.

S-rank.

An intense power incomparable to A-rank and below was flowing out.

“…Ha. So this is why she left her post today.”

Whoosh!

Below such a Sudden Gate.

I spotted a woman with white hair fluttering as she fought in battle.

She seemed to have already gone through one intense battle, with one eye tightly shut from her forehead as she dealt with monsters pouring down like rain from the Sudden Gate.

Below that, I could sense that numerous hunters including Jeong Chan-woo and Im Seung-hun were protecting citizens from monsters destroying the city.

Now I’m starting to understand.

It would have been strange if Seong Yu-mi hadn’t anticipated a situation that even I had expected.

I staggered and took a step toward the Sudden Gate.

“Wait a moment! In that condition, you can’t go any further….”

“I know.”

Responding lightly to Rai’s restraining shout from behind, I chuckled and reached out my hand.

“Ah. I didn’t want to use this here.”

Mist gathered above my right hand.

What the gathered mist formed was a single book.

“Don’t tell anyone about what you’re about to see.”

My body has already reached its limit.

I know that better than anyone.

So now it’s not my turn.

[Entity ‘Elpinire’ responds to your call.]

[Entity ‘Jini’ responds to your call.]

[Entity ‘Kargon’ responds to your call.]

[Entity ‘Runar’ responds to your call.]

It was their turn.

Mist rising in sequence.

Rai’s eyes widened as he watched them emerge from within.

“You guys are…!”

“Rai. You’re familiar faces, aren’t you?”

Faces familiar to Rai.

Hikari also spotted Jini and widened her eyes in surprise.

The three of them responded to my call and simultaneously discovered my wrecked state, their eyes growing wide.

“Master, you!”

“Master!”

“Are you alright?”

I chuckled at their expected reaction and waved my hand dismissively.

“I’m not dead, so I guess I’m fine.”

“But you look like you’re about to return to Mother’s embrace any moment now.”

“…Thanks so much for explaining so well that I look like I’d die from a single poke.”

Anyway, even standing is at my limit now.

So I’ll stay here.

Instead.

“Go right now and stop the monsters flowing out of the Sudden Gate.”

“Got it.”

“Yes.”

“I obey your command.”

The three people instantly disappeared, wrapped in mana.

They appeared around Seong Yu-mi, who had been handling the monsters pressing in from all directions.

“Ha! As expected of Black Dragon!”

They swept away the monsters with a single strike.

Massacre.

The charging monsters exploded from single blows.

Those three were powerhouses who had each hunted countless S-rank level monsters in their respective domains.

Earth’s S-rank monsters, which were inferior to those of Orishion, couldn’t possibly stand against them.

‘The more monsters die, the more the power flowing from the gate diminishes.’

The reaction is different from ordinary Sudden Gates.

It feels as if someone artificially created it.

Then, the Sudden Gate that had appeared in the sky pulsed once and expelled something with all its power.

What emerged from within was a giant snake-shaped monster with eight heads.

I was blinking my eyes wondering what that thing was when I heard Rai’s voice beside me.

“That’s Yamata no Orochi!”

“Yamata no Orochi?”

“It’s a monster from Japanese mythology, and recently news came that it actually exists in the Zero Gate!”

“…Zero Gate?”

Swish.

I turned my head and looked at the Yamata no Orochi beginning to destroy the city.

The first gate that humans haven’t completely conquered yet.

The creature that dwelled within it had appeared here.

I darkened my eyes and gestured toward Runar, who had been sitting quietly while watching the creature destroy the city.

He understood my gesture and approached me.

Looking at Runar, a question suddenly arose.

“…Come to think of it, are you okay?”

“Squeak?”

Despite such intense combat, Cheo-ri had managed to stay on my shoulder the whole time.

He used to run away before, but now he doesn’t even flee.

He seems to be perfectly fine.

‘Maybe it’s because he’s been eating magic stones frequently lately.’

Thinking back to when he was a slime I encountered in the Tower of Recording, it’s quite possible.

Muttering this to myself, I collapsed onto Runar with a thud.

His fluffy fur feels quite nice.

Anyway, now isn’t the time to be enjoying this.

“Runar.”

“Woof!”

“Take me over there.”

“Woof!”

It was time to move to observe more closely.

Runar, having received the command, gathered mana in his body and gradually increased his size.

As Runar’s size swelled up like that.

“You. You could transform?”

“Grrowl.”

He transformed into a lycanthrope with red fur around his neck.

Standing on two legs with me on his back, he howled loudly.

“Wooooo.”

He began running at high speed toward where the Yamata no Orochi was.
