My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 127
Episode 127. Yamata no Orochi (1)
I’m getting closer and closer to Yamata no Orochi.
The closer I got, the more keenly I felt it.
‘It’s different.’
Muttering to myself, I looked at Runar running with his fur streaming in the wind.
This guy was actually the first S-rank monster I had encountered.
Though it’s really unfair to say this to Runar.
That eight-headed snake rampaging in downtown had power on a completely different level from Runar.
‘Well, thinking about it, creatures like Bloody Mantis would also be S-rank monster level.’
Quietly turning my gaze, I looked at Runar.
Come to think of it, this guy.
Did he have red fur around his neck even before his name was written in the ‘Roster’?
‘I remember there wasn’t any.’
Back then it was just stained with blood.
I remember he had pure white fur.
Then what exactly is this red fur around his neck?
But these thoughts of mine didn’t continue for long.
Above my head.
An intensely cold chill cut off my train of thought.
Tilting my head back, I looked at Yamata no Orochi gathering mana in its mouth toward Seong Yu-mi.
Frigid cold air gathering in the mouth of the third head.
In contrast, scorching heat was gathering in the first head.
Eight heads each gathering different powers like this.
Each one was so intense that A-rank Hunters couldn’t possibly block it.
But the power they had gathered never manifested in the world.
“Omen! Please seal their mouths!”
-Understood.
The shadow created by the massive size of Yamata no Orochi.
Sticky power rising from there blocked Yamata no Orochi’s mouths.
All mouths were bound by arrows and shadows, unable to open.
It struggled desperately to tear apart the shadows binding its mouths, but the shadows quickly regenerated and bound the mouths again.
Toward Yamata no Orochi, whose gathered power had instantly returned to nothing.
[Lord El – Sesto]
Elpinire’s attack struck home.
Yamata no Orochi floated up into the air.
Elpinire didn’t stop there and began unleashing attacks without pause.
Like firing a machine gun.
The repeated combo attacks were enough to gradually lift the massive Yamata no Orochi higher into the sky.
After delivering the final blow.
Elpinire shouted loudly.
“That should be enough, right!?”
“Yes. That’s sufficient.”
In front of Seong Yu-mi.
Kargon in dark armor responded to Elpinire’s shout and released the bowstring he had been drawing.
A single arrow shot through the wind.
The size of that arrow was so massive it didn’t suit being called an arrow.
[Orcus – Grief]
It was sorrowful.
The ground trembles.
Unable to withstand the power of the massive arrow, the ground cries out.
The arrow that had been ordinary when it left the bowstring had become a spear piercing the sky.
“Farewell, snake.”
It pierced through Yamata no Orochi.
A massive hole was torn through the middle of Yamata no Orochi’s body.
The arrow didn’t stop even after penetrating Yamata no Orochi, continuing forward and splitting the clouds.
The giant snake fell beneath the clouds splitting left and right.
Everyone watching thought it must be dead.
I thought so too.
However.
“Hey there, big guy. This thing won’t die from just that much.”
A man wrapped in sharpness said this while cutting off the neck of the falling Yamata no Orochi.
Kargon, riding on a single blade, looked toward the man who had suddenly appeared.
No.
“Oh? Is that so?”
“Yeah. This thing only dies when you blow off all its heads. But don’t worry. I, Do Hwang Do Pi-hyeon, will handle the rest.”
Toward Do Hwang, Do Pi-hyeon.
He asked back with an interested voice.
He lowered his bow as if to say ‘let’s see you try’ and looked at Do Pi-hyeon.
Do Pi-hyeon was in a mess like Seong Yu-mi.
Behind him, several blades were floating.
“First, that one.”
Do Pi-hyeon’s right hand pointed to the sixth head that was still attached.
At that moment, the floating blades followed Do Pi-hyeon’s command and instantly rushed forward, cutting off Yamata no Orochi’s head.
Right after cutting off the head, Do Pi-hyeon leaped from his blade toward a nearby head and spread his right hand wide to the side.
[Single Blade – Shura]
His right hand transformed into a sharp single blade.
Having transformed his hand into a blade, he very easily cut off Yamata no Orochi’s head.
“Damn, I got blood on it.”
He quickly shook off the blood on his blade.
It wasn’t just because the blood was dirty.
Yamata no Orochi’s blood was a deadly poison that corroded whatever it touched.
After quickly shaking off the blood on his hand, he mounted a blade that came to meet him and shouted loudly.
“Yu-mi! I’ve been fighting non-stop since I got here, are you going to keep overworking your oppa!”
“What are you saying, mister. We’re the same age.”
Seong Yu-mi muttered as if disgusted and stretched her hand above her head.
At that moment, air gathered above the three remaining heads.
The gathered air gradually transformed into sharp blades.
[Ultimate]
Invisible, yet visible.
The intense mana creates the illusion of existence.
What gathered above the remaining heads were guillotines.
And.
[Aerial Guillotine]
They were guillotines made entirely of compressed air.
The guillotine blades struck downward.
The necks on the guillotines flew up into the air.
All the heads flew away, scattering red blood.
But then, I felt it.
‘It’s regenerating?’
They definitely said you could only catch it if all the heads were blown off.
Even though all the heads were blown off, Yamata no Orochi was trying to regenerate again.
“Black Dragon!”
A voice called out at that moment.
Naturally turning my head, I was looking at Runar.
More precisely, my eyes met with Seong Yu-mi, who was looking at me as she rode on his back, rushing forward.
“Please endure just a little longer. I need to prevent the blood from falling.”
Heh.
I let out a small laugh at her words and whispered to Runar.
“Throw me over there.”
“Grung?”
“Hurry.”
He seemed to ask if that was really okay, but only briefly.
The guy stopped his body as if he understood and roughly threw me.
“Ugh…”
I was glad I didn’t completely release my ‘armament’ just in case.
If I had released it, I would have lost consciousness and fainted right away.
Squeezing my creaking entire body, I slowly pulled back my clenched fist.
“You specifically called for me.”
In a way, having Kargon or Elpinire do it would have been sufficient.
But the fact that Seong Yu-mi chose me and said this meant.
“You’re telling me to show them, aren’t you?”
To the Macheongoe who would be watching this now.
To people all over the world who would be observing this commotion.
It was no different from telling me to prove myself.
Since she prepared this stage for me, it would be rude not to accept it.
Lifting the corners of my mouth, I generated mist above my pulled-back hand.
‘Muryeol? No.’
‘Muryeol’ is an attack that concentrates power into a single point.
That would only produce the same effect as the arrow Kargon shot.
Right.
Now wasn’t the time for ‘Muryeol’.
It was a moment that required a more widespread and dangerous attack.
[Nanmu (Chaotic Mist)]
Mist that scattered chaotically gathered above my right hand.
As if all the mist until now had been nothing but a beginning.
‘Nanmu’ showed no signs of gathering at all and continued to scatter upward.
‘It’s like when I first started handling mist.’
It hadn’t been that long.
But just like back then, it felt like the mist wouldn’t move as I wanted.
But that’s fine.
I had no intention of controlling this thing.
I just.
[Gwangpok (Mad Explosion)]
Intended to explode it without control.
Not gwangpok (, mad violence), but gwangpok (, mad explosion).
Explode like crazy.
Explode and tear apart the enemy.
The target.
“——.”
Rip it to shreds without a trace.
The uncontrolled mist exploded.
In an instant, a dark flash appeared in mid-air.
The tremendous force blew away the air and created a massive wind pillar.
And with that memory as my last.
“…”
My consciousness cut off.
* * *
Seong Yu-mi had covered her face with both hands against the swirling gale.
She soon let out a hollow laugh and looked up at the sky.
“It disappeared without a trace.”
She had definitely been preparing to block the blood that would pour to the ground.
But the insanely violent mist had devoured even the blood completely.
“He fainted.”
“Master!”
“Master!”
Clatter!
While Seong Yu-mi was admiring the power.
Kargon, Elpinire, and Jini were watching only Han Mi-reo falling from different positions.
“I must be crazy. What am I smiling about when he did well?”
Elpinire moved most nimbly.
She embraced the falling Han Mi-reo and let out a groan.
Han Mi-reo was a mess, unconscious with his eyes closed.
Even though his whole body was burned and looked quite painful.
The unconscious him wore a satisfied smile.
“Still, he looks quite pleased.”
“Indeed…”
Kargon and Jini, who arrived late, also added a word seeing Han Mi-reo like that.
“He was like this when he saved the Verdant Forest too…”
“That, I also…”
“Same for me.”
He always fights as if he doesn’t care about dying.
That’s not entirely bad, but.
“This is why I want to become stronger…”
For those who had resolved to protect him, there was no greater misfortune than this.
“It’s as if he fights without fear of death.”
Kargon groaned, thinking he had taught him wrong.
But Jini firmly shook her head toward Kargon and said.
“Master was originally like this. It’s not your fault, Kargon.”
Saying that, Jini pouted and gently caressed Han Mi-reo’s right hand, the only intact part of his body.
“Master. Have sweet dreams.”
Whoosh—
Shadow seeping into Han Mi-reo’s body.
So he could lose the pain and sleep deeply.
Jini, who had put shadow into him, smiled gently.
Like that, they didn’t move a single step from that spot.
Until the hunters finished dealing with the remaining monsters.
Until Seong Yu-mi, who had wrapped up the scene, returned.
* * *
‘I’ was walking through the forest.
For someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy walking under sunlight, the current situation was very much displeasing.
“Isn’t it nice to come outside?”
‘I’ looked at the woman with disheveled black hair walking through the forest with light steps.
I only felt unpleasant, so I couldn’t understand what was so good about this.
“Isn’t this much better than inside the cave?”
No, it’s not.
It feels bad.
Having to walk on the ground with two feet like this was so bothersome that I felt like going back.
‘I’ fully expressed my emotions on my face.
Reading ‘my’ expression, the woman awkwardly laughed and scratched her cheek.
“But you can walk on two feet too. I was completely sure that…”
What exactly does she think ‘I’ am?
No matter how long I spent in the cave due to boredom, there’s no way I couldn’t do at least this much.
When I narrowed my eyes and stared, the woman twisted her body and muttered.
“Still. I’m happy that you came out with me.”
‘I’ quietly turned my gaze away from the woman who was grinning broadly.
‘I’ didn’t want to come out either.
It’s just that the woman in front of me came to find ‘me’ every day and bothered me.
I simply decided to grant the woman’s request and make sure she never comes looking for me again.
“So what are you going to do? Hmm… Well, I haven’t thought of anything.”
Hehe.
The woman laughed playfully and ran forward, waving her hand.
“Still, I’ll guide you for today! Shall we go to the village first?”
The village.
I don’t really feel like going to a place with many humans, but I just need to endure it this once.
So ‘I’ followed the woman walking through the forest.
Already ‘my’ eyes were taking in the bustling village hidden beyond the horizon.
* * *
“Ugh…”
My body feels incredibly heavy.
This is the first time even lifting my eyelids has been this difficult.
I opened my eyes with difficulty and muttered while staring blankly at the ceiling.
“Am I still dreaming right now?”
The dream I was having until just now, which was excessively vivid.
I clearly remember that the last emotion I felt was annoyance, but.
“…”
“…”
Looking at Rai’s face sticking out through the ceiling, the same annoyance starts rising up.
What is this?
Am I still dreaming?
I have no idea what could have happened for his head to be stuck in the floor like this.
As I blinked my heavy eyes and looked at Rai for a moment.
Rai, who had been staring at me blankly for a while after I opened my eyes, widened his eyes and shouted.
“Y-you’re awake!?”
“…How long did I sleep to get that kind of reaction?”
“You slept for over a week.”
Right.
With Rai appearing, this can’t be a dream.
I let out a long sigh and forced my uncooperative body to sit up…
“A week?”
I blinked and asked back.
What, I slept for another whole week?
I let out a hollow laugh and turned my head with difficulty to look out the window.
The city center that had been destroyed and was being rebuilt.
“What is this…”
“I’ll call everyone right away, so wait!”
Pop!
Rai pulled his head out of the ceiling hole.
Listening to his footsteps quickly fading away, I let out a long sigh.
The S-rank promotion exam definitely had less than a week left.
But sleeping for a whole week means…
“Ah, whatever.”
I can’t even be bothered to think about it.
Maybe because my body feels so heavy, I just want to lie down and rest again.
If I can’t become an S-rank Hunter, I can just wait a year and try again.
With that thought, I closed my eyes again and flopped back down.
The sunlight coming in through the window felt pleasantly warm.
