My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 138
Episode 138. Failure (2)
Is this what it feels like to have your head turned upside down?
Jini couldn’t understand what Shinkō was saying at all.
“…You were planning to capture me alive?”
“Those who have the qualifications to become Zero don’t die easily from mere poison. That’s already been proven through us.”
Since they wouldn’t die from poison anyway, the plan was to poison and capture them.
However.
“You had already escaped.”
“…”
“So the kingdom put out a bounty on you, a mere former slave with nothing.”
Since you dared to escape, it doesn’t matter if you die.
Instead, bring back even your dead corpse.
These were the words the kingdom put on the wanted poster.
“…”
Jini couldn’t say anything.
Her stomach churned.
It felt like she might vomit at any moment.
Just as she was about to cover her mouth with her hands.
-Close your eyes, Jini.
Ding-
Along with a clear bell sound, Omen gently covered Jini’s eyes.
-Jini. You now have a kind human.
“Omen…”
-I also exist, and the Elf and Orc also exist.
“…”
-You are no longer alone. You are no longer a witch who lives unable to die while being pursued by someone.
Right.
Everything was correct.
I’ve already cast off those memories.
I have my master.
I have Elpinire.
I have Kargon too.
I have Omen, and many spirit friends too.
And I have.
“I have a place to return to.”
Not Elion, but another home.
The place where the new me began.
The place where I met Omen and came to meet my master.
“No matter what you say a hundred times, I won’t go to Elion.”
“…”
“If it were my master in this situation, he would say this.”
Ahem.
Jini cleared her throat unnecessarily and shouted while rolling her eyes around.
“If, if you don’t like it, come to Darkness!”
Hehe.
Jini laughed foolishly and scratched the back of her head, then lightly patted her cheeks with both hands.
“Thank you, Omen. Thanks to you, I was able to escape from useless thoughts.”
-What. If you still hadn’t changed, I was thinking of manipulating your mind for a moment.
“…That’s a joke, right?”
-Does it look like a joke?
“…”
Jini pressed her lips tightly shut and turned her gaze from Omen to look ahead.
There was Shinkō with a dismayed expression at seeing Jini escape from confusion.
“You tried to toy with me with your silver tongue, but how unfortunate. The current me is different from the old me!”
Right.
The past and present are different.
Even if she fell, there were many people who would help her stand up.
And that number would continue to grow.
So.
“Come at me. I’ll fold you up nicely and present you before my master!”
I’m not afraid.
Jini raised the corners of her mouth and wrapped mana around her entire body again, shouting loudly.
“Omen! You can reveal the power of your true body for just a moment, right?”
-By true body, you don’t mean the real body in Darkness, do you?
“Yes. This is Orishion anyway. It’s possible, right?”
-…I’m not sure, but I’ll try once.
“Please do. I’m really angry right now.”
If things had gone wrong, she almost forgot the sacrifices her master made for her.
She almost forgot everything Elpinire had done for her.
She almost forgot the difficult yet fun training she did with Kargon.
She almost forgot the memories with Omen, who was like family.
Jini could never forgive Shinkō for doing such a thing.
“W-Witch! Return to the kingdom! If you come to the kingdom-!”
“I don’t want to? My master’s house on Earth is much cozier than some kingdom!”
Kuguuuung-
In an instant, the moon in the sky is erased.
The stars that had risen are also erased, and the world is dyed black.
“Ah, aah…”
Illusions, phantoms, darkness, shadows.
The touch of the Dark Spirit King who rules over all these things descends upon Shinkō.
Shinkō desperately swung his sword wrapped in magic, but his sword only cut through empty air.
The attacks don’t work.
His legs don’t move as if they’ve become one with the ground.
He’s going to die.
He’s going to die.
Captured by darkness.
He’s going to die alive.
Severely constricted pupils and flowing tears.
Even though the real fight hadn’t properly started yet, Shinkō had lost his fighting spirit and was trembling violently, unable to even breathe.
“Kugh…”
She could feel blood flowing back up her throat, but Jini didn’t care and raised her hand.
When she had completely raised her hand.
Jini met eyes with Shinkō’s unfocused gaze and smiled sweetly.
“Welcome to the nightmare.”
Crack-
* * *
After lightly crushing the head of the last remaining monster, I threw the monster aside.
The monster that flew away scattering red blood landed helplessly on top of the already mountain-high pile of monster corpses.
I wiped the blood that had splattered on my cheek with my thumb and turned my head.
There, Zero sat cross-legged in mid-air, making an intrigued humming sound as he looked down at me.
“Wow. I really didn’t expect you to clean up everything all by yourself.”
“Shouldn’t you come down now? You must have realized long ago that you can’t stop me with monsters like these.”
“True. I thought I could give you a decent beating with demons, but I guess I miscalculated. I’m surprised, you know?”
Zero shrugged his shoulders and put on airs.
Soon, as if he had no choice, he shook his head and started to come down… or so I thought for a moment.
“I’m not going though?”
“What?”
“I’m an expensive body, so my fuel efficiency is poor. That’s why I brought someone to move in my place.”
Snap.
Zero still smiled as he lightly flicked his fingers.
At that moment, demonic lightning struck from the sky, and a girl with somewhat dark white hair appeared.
She simply stared at me with an expressionless face while holding a spear in her hand.
“Ta-da. This friend is the second test subject, Dos. Since Uno is vacant, she’s practically the first.”
Demonic energy so intense it stung my skin.
I looked at the girl before me with cold eyes.
‘She’s strong.’
I didn’t know what those unfocused pupils wanted.
But the power I felt from the girl was considerable, even aside from her demonic energy.
‘Maybe even more than Zero behind her.’
Zero clearly said this girl was the second one.
Yet somehow the intensity of power emanating from her felt even stronger than Zero floating in the sky.
“Now, Dos. Go ahead and tear that man apart.”
“…”
The girl called Dos pointed her spear tip toward me.
The meaningless killing intent gathered there sharply pierced my skin.
‘I’d like to face Zero directly, but…’
It would be foolish to ignore someone with that level of power and charge in.
I lightly turned my wrist and took my stance.
‘I’ll take her down as quickly as possible.’
At least when Uno wakes up, I don’t want him to face that bastard.
I definitely thought that, but.
[Nursing Uno]
[Success]
[Moving to the next floor.]
It seems the Tower doesn’t intend to go along with my wishes.
I tilted my head back at the massive presence I felt from the sky.
The dark night sky.
There, someone wrapped in mana so pure it appeared white was falling at high speed.
“…It’s been a while. Zero.”
Uno landed with his long hair fluttering.
He looked at Dos in front of him, not at Zero flying in the sky, and spoke in a small voice.
I looked at Uno and asked.
“Are you, okay?”
“Yes. My memories are all jumbled up, but… I know what I need to do right now.”
Uno grabbed his forehead as if his head was throbbing and frowned for a moment, but soon looked ahead as if nothing was wrong.
“I’m sure I killed you… Why are you here?”
“…You killed her?”
“Yes. This person that hyung now knows as Dos was Zero when I was still a test subject.”
Uno, wearing a faint smile, extended his hand to the side.
Then the empty air condensed and was shaped into a staff made of mana.
Uno casually spun the staff, which had an end curved like a hoe, above his hand as if he was familiar with it.
“Mir hyung. I have one favor to ask.”
“What is it.”
“May I fight alongside you?”
Uno looked at me with an expression so mature I could hardly believe he was the Uno from my memories.
And at the same time.
[5th Floor]
[Grant Uno’s request.]
[Not achieved]
A very simple condition for the 5th Floor came to mind.
So I nodded without even hesitating and said.
“Do as you like.”
“…Thank you.”
[Grant Uno’s request.]
[Achieved]
[Moving to the next floor.]
Uno turned his head with words of gratitude.
He looked at Dos and said.
“I’ll take care of this friend. So hyung…”
“You want me to worry about Zero, right?”
“As expected, you understand quickly. Is it because you’re an adventurer?”
Chuckle chuckle.
Uno let out a small laugh as if amused, then spoke in a chilly voice as if he had never laughed.
“Don’t get hurt.”
“That’s rather what I want to say to you.”
The guy who was suffering from high fever just moments ago suddenly wants to fight together.
Honestly, if the Tower wasn’t forcing it, I’d want to tell him to go back and lie down.
Well, if Uno wants to do it, I don’t have the right to tell him what to do.
So in reality, permission wasn’t necessary.
If he wants to do it, he can do it.
I lifted the corners of my mouth and kicked off the ground, rushing toward Zero.
“Now you don’t even have subordinates to protect you, what will you do?”
A fist striking through the air.
I clearly threw my punch aiming for Zero’s face, but my fist was blocked by something invisible.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at whatever had appeared in front of my fist.
‘Is this mana?’
Heavily compressed pure mana blocked my fist.
Thanks to that, the power contained in my fist couldn’t fully strike Zero, but.
“Kugh…!”
It seems even compressed mana can’t perfectly block the power contained in the Black Dragon’s right hand.
The powerful impact created by the force in my fist.
A strong gust of wind blew, strong enough to sweep the leaves in the area backward.
The gust that blew swept away the robe Zero was wearing.
The hood of Zero’s robe was blown back.
“What the hell. Why is a failure speaking properly…!”
A boy with bluish-white hair and fierce golden eyes.
A black demonic energy mark was carved near his right eye.
His gaze wasn’t directed at me right in front of him.
The ground.
was heading toward Uno, who was bringing his staff down on Dos.
I looked at Zero and smirked.
“Being ignored doesn’t feel too good.”
“What? Shut u-“
“Shut up and look here.”
Thump.
His heart sank.
Zero turned his head and opened his eyes roughly, staring into orange pupils that contained only himself.
“Right now. Don’t you even know who you should be dealing with?”
“…”
Terror that his instincts screamed.
Zero, experiencing this for the first time in his life, swallowed dry saliva and roughly pushed me away with mana.
“Fi, fine. I’ll take you down first and then deal with Uno.”
Though I was pushed back, there wasn’t really any power behind it.
Thanks to that, I landed stably on the ground and let out a long breath as I looked ahead.
[6th Floor]
[Defeat Zero]
[0/1]
Finally, the condition I wanted appeared.
I raised the corners of my mouth and compressed mist densely above my right hand.
[Thousand Transformations – Dragon Scales]
Along my right hand to my right arm.
The compressed black mist covered it completely.
The mist covering my arm became dragon scales harboring violent power, ready to tear enemies apart.
“Huu…”
I let out a long breath and bent my knees.
Then, as I straightened my bent knees.
[Synchronization Rate 10.9%]
I roughly struck the mana barrier that appeared in the air.
* * *
“Zero… or should I call you Dos?”
Clang.
The staff Uno swung was blocked futilely.
But Uno just looked at the blocked staff with a calm expression as if he had expected it.
“We used to spar like this often in the old days. Nostalgic, isn’t it?”
Dos thrust her spear toward Uno’s head.
Uno twisted his head to dodge the spear Dos thrust, as if accustomed to it.
“We always sparred like this, and the winner at the end was always me.”
“…”
“That’s why you were always Dos, and I was Uno.”
Tap.
Uno, having dodged the spear, hooked the shaft of Dos’s spear with the end of his staff and pulled it downward.
Dos, whose spear was helplessly dragged down.
Uno lightly kicked the opening that Dos revealed.
“How could I have known. That I, who was Uno, would never become Zero, and that you, who was Dos, would become Zero.”
And.
“That you, who became Zero, would deliberately die to me.”
“…”
“The fact that you, whose head was blown off by me, are here perfectly fine… means you were revived through necromancy, one of the ancient magics.”
There was no answer.
Dos just looked at Uno with eyes that contained nothing.
Therefore, Uno, with a bitter smile.
“I’ll give you rest again this time. Just like when you didn’t dodge my magic back then.”
He roughly swung his staff wrapped in pure mana.
