My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 139

Episode 139. Failure (3)

The mana barrier couldn’t withstand the punch and shattered into pieces, but.

“Get lost!”

Zero didn’t give up and created another barrier.

In the end, I, who was trying to move forward, had to briefly pull my arm back again.

That very short gap that was created.

Aiming for that gap, Zero stretched out his right hand and shouted.

“How dare… How dare you do this to me, Zero…!”

Crackle-

The air instantly froze.

A massive pillar of ice rose up from the ground.

The rising ice pillar tried to pierce through me, but.

[Mist – Sliding Mist]

I had already stepped on the mist and escaped from the ice.

Zero tracked my movement through the scattered mist with his eyes, then extended his left hand.

[Ancient – Icicle Lance]

The ice pillar shattered into pieces.

Soon after, sharp icicles shot out from there, flying toward me.

Ice spears filled the sky like falling rain.

Toward the sky that had turned blue, I took a step forward and threw a powerful punch.

[Wild Mist – Violent Explosion]

Uncontrolled mist exploded violently.

At the same time, all the ice spears rushing toward me were destroyed and shattered.

‘Certainly ‘Wild Mist’ puts quite a burden on me.’

Even though I used ‘Black Dragon’ up to my right arm, it still tingles slightly.

I shook my wrist and looked up at the sky.

There, Zero was trembling with both eyes at the power beyond his imagination.

“…Is this truly the power of a pure human?”

“Now stop fooling around and get serious, will you? Rather, if this is your full power, I might be a bit disappointed.”

“…”

Grind.

Zero, grinding his teeth hard, stretched both hands forward.

At that moment, the ice powder that had been sparkling and falling from the sky began to melt rapidly.

“Don’t… underestimate me!”

A massive fireball shot down, covering the sky.

As if the sun was descending.

The flame mass with its enormous size began falling from the sky to devour me.

“I don’t have any damn flaws like those failures!”

Following his heightened emotions, the massive flame mass began shaking violently.

With sunken eyes, I watched the approaching fireball and lightly drew my right hand downward.

[Mist – Mist Blade]

The flame mass was split in half by the mist blade.

I leaped toward the heat haze rising between the split mass.

“I’m curious about something.”

It’s hot.

Since there were hot fireballs on both sides, the temperature touching my skin was considerable.

Even so, it wasn’t as fatal as the burns I suffered in Japan.

Having leaped like that, I lightly stepped on the mana barrier and looked down at Zero.

“What’s the reason you call Uno a failure? Because Uno was abandoned?”

“Ha! You’ll never know!”

Whoosh-

Black mist rose above my right hand, flickering like flames.

[Mist Split -]

I struck down hard with my fist wrapped in what looked like black flames.

The moment my fist touched the barrier, it shattered completely in one blow.

Zero watched the shattering barrier and shouted loudly.

“That guy had no emotions, the most important element for ancient magic!”

Having lost the foothold I was standing on, I fell toward Zero and roughly threw my right hand that I had pulled back.

* * *

Boom-!

The staff Uno brought down struck the innocent ground hard.

The earth trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.

He had clearly aimed for the head, but an invisible force twisted the trajectory of Uno’s striking staff.

Uno knew what this force was.

“…So even spirits can use magic.”

Ancient magic that twists space.

How ridiculous.

He knew what magic it was and how to use it, but.

“I’ve never used it even once.”

Uno was the first test subject.

However, Uno could never become Zero.

“I never used ancient magic itself from the beginning. Unlike you, Dos.”

“…”

Long before humans had civilization like now.

Right after Arkhe, the primordial god, created the world.

Unlike now, the world was filled only with pure mana.

Ancient magic referred to the magic used by the first humans born in the beginning, following the gods, when the world was filled with pure mana.

Therefore, it was also obsolete magic that could no longer be used now that pure mana had disappeared.

Even though Uno was the most complete test subject, he had never used even the ‘A’ of ancient magic.

Why?

“I had no ego.”

Ego.

The most important element in using ancient magic.

Current magic has a structure where mana is used to draw magic circles and magic is activated through the magic circles.

But in ancient times when only pure mana existed, it was different.

“Will is considered the most important element in ancient magic.”

The spear Dos thrust barely grazed Uno’s abdomen.

Even though red blood scattered on the ground, Uno seemed accustomed to this level of pain and struck back at Dos’s side with his staff.

“Because ancient magic required only strong will, not magic circles.”

Current mana can form magic circles because its concentration has become quite thin.

Pure mana cannot maintain magic circles because of its overly dense concentration.

Therefore, ancient magic required strong will along with intense emotions of wanting to use it.

But Uno was different.

From when he first became a test subject, continuously.

He had lived as an emotionless doll.

“But you were different, Dos.”

Dos, hit by the staff, thrust his spear toward Uno again.

This time, bitterly cold air swirled around the spear tip.

Uno also responded by igniting hot heat at the end of his staff.

“You were different from me—you had emotions.”

Uno, who was ready to become Zero but lacked the most important thing—emotions.

And Dos, who was less prepared than Uno but possessed emotions.

There were other test subjects including Tres, but the researchers’ attention was focused solely on Uno and Dos.

“I could cut flesh and crush organs without batting an eye, but you suffered from the pain.”

Dos’s spear, slashing upward from below, freezes Uno’s right leg along with the ground and cuts across her torso.

Red blood flows from the split chest.

But even that instantly froze and fell to the ground.

Before Dos could begin her next attack, Uno lightly tapped her staff imbued with red energy against the ground.

“Is that why? Why you gave up on life and died by my hand the moment you became Zero?”

The warm energy flowing from Uno’s staff embraced all of Dos’s cold air.

The ice melted away in an instant.

Uno, who had stopped the bleeding from her split chest by wrapping it in pure mana, headbutted Dos directly in the abdomen.

“When no matter what they tried, I couldn’t develop emotions, so the researchers began focusing on you instead.”

Dos, struck by the headbutt, spits black blood from her mouth and slides backward.

Uno spun her staff once over her palm and struck down hard toward Dos.

“In the end, you, who was Dos, became Zero first instead of me, who was Uno.”

“…”

“And you despaired at the fact that even after becoming Zero, you would have to undergo even harsher experiments to mass-produce other Zeros.”

Due to jumbled memories, I couldn’t remember clearly.

But beyond the hazy memories like static noise, the image of the last Zero that emerged was distorted.

Her mouth was smiling, but her eyes were crying.

From her mouth came moans that could have been either ecstasy or agony.

“Uno. Please kill me.”

“I do not understand what you mean.”

“I… I don’t have the confidence to endure any longer.”

Having said that, Dos aimed her spear at Uno in the same stance as always.

“This is truly something I shouldn’t do to you… but please forgive me. My dearest friend.”

“…What is a friend?”

“Heh. You don’t even know that?”

The Uno of that time didn’t know what that meant.

No sense of self, no emotions.

She didn’t even know if the experiments were painful.

She was nothing more than a doll that knew none of these things.

So Uno sparred with Dos, who had become Zero, just like always.

In that sparring match, Dos didn’t dodge attacks she could have avoided, and her head was blown off by Uno’s attack.

“As for what happened after, I was disposed of as punishment for killing you then.”

The Zero they had finally created was killed by that troublesome one.

The researchers were furiously angry at this fact.

They finally decided to dispose of the eternal failure who would never develop emotions anyway.

“So I was disposed of and thrown into the river.”

“…”

“After being taken in by the people of Mae Village, I tasted freedom for the first time in my life and gained a sense of self.”

Crack.

Dos’s shoulder crumbles under the striking staff.

Even though it was an attack she normally could have easily dodged, she couldn’t avoid it.

Uno roughly kicked Dos in the abdomen with her foot and looked at her with sunken eyes.

“So now I understand. The reason you escaped through death.”

“…”

“I’ll make you truly free this time, Dos, since you couldn’t become free even in death.”

Pure mana was gradually boiling up from Uno’s body as she spoke.

* * *

Tsk.

This is annoyingly troublesome.

I looked up at Zero gathering mana in the sky with sunken eyes.

‘Even when I try to attack, it keeps deflecting…’

I’ve gotten close and thrown punches several times, but the trajectory keeps getting strangely twisted.

That’s probably some kind of magic too.

When he deflected the attack trajectories like that, Zero would predictably fire massive spells at me.

Thanks to that, I had to move again to dodge them.

‘At this point, the only answer is a wide-range attack that’s impossible to avoid.’

If this continues, I’ll be the one to get tired first, not Zero.

I know that spreading power widely isn’t exactly suitable for breaking through defensive barriers, but what choice do I have.

‘That’s the only thing I can do right now.’

Just once.

I only need to succeed once.

As I took a deep breath and wrapped mist around my fist, Zero began releasing the mana he had gathered.

“That’s why Uno is a failure! A piece of trash who couldn’t have emotions and even killed Zero!”

“Is that so? No matter how I think about it, the trash seems to be the researchers, not Uno.”

“No? They are saviors. When Uno and Dos died, they entrusted everything to me, Tres, who was next in line—my saviors!”

Crackle, crackle—

Intense sparks fly from the gathered mana.

Even the sparks that were merely ricochets shattered rocks and created huge scars on the ground.

Zero shot the sphere of mana he had created toward the sky.

[Ancient – Thunder Break]

Dark clouds gather in the clear sky that had no clouds before.

Feeling the formidable power contained within them, I widened my eyes and threw my body to the side.

“This crazy…”

Intense lightning made of pure mana strikes right next to me.

And the dark cloud that had unleashed that lightning was gradually growing in size, as if once wasn’t enough.

[Mist Technique – Sliding Mist]

My deliberation was brief.

I immediately used ‘Sliding Mist’ and began racing quickly through the forest.

“Uno and Dos always acted like it was their own world. They stole away all the attention that I and the other test subjects should have received! Thanks to them, I was neglected and neglected, receiving no attention at all while only suffering pain!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Massive lightning strikes follow behind me as I race through the forest.

Each lightning bolt burning the forest contained power that absolutely couldn’t be ignored.

“Unlike the dead Uno and Dos, I will become a perfect Zero. Not even the slightest mistake should exist for me!”

If I slow down my movement even a little, I’ll be electrocuted by the lightning.

Lightning that massive probably couldn’t even be blocked with my right hand.

However.

‘Continuing to run away is also impossible.’

Even though he was continuously dropping such powerful lightning, there wasn’t a trace of fatigue to be found in Zero.

Rather, he was becoming increasingly consumed by madness, and the demonic energy spots covering his face were growing darker.

‘The darker the spots become, the stronger the power he possesses.’

The more the pure mana became corrupted with demonic energy.

The more Zero’s power was being amplified.

In the end, continuing to run away was not only impossible.

‘The more that guy goes crazy, the stronger he becomes.’

Then.

“What are you trying to do right now…!”

Let’s just go together.

I deactivated ‘Bowless’ and quickly turned my body.

What came into my view was Zero floating in the sky.

Looking up at that place, I bent my knees.

[Smoke Mist – Mist Flight]

Ignoring the lightning striking down.

I rushed toward Zero.

Zero stopped dodging the lightning and looked at me charging forward with wide eyes.

“Are you insane? You’re not even thinking of avoiding that!”

“I’ve been thinking about something.”

Crash-

The first barrier blocking between me and Zero shattered.

“Do mages also take damage from their own magic?”

“…!”

Even though I don’t take damage just from touching ‘smoke mist’.

However, when I explode compressed ‘smoke mist’ or replace my body with ‘smoke mist’.

Only then do I take damage.

“This isn’t mana itself, but a technique using mana.”

“W-wait…!”

Mana is one part of the user’s body.

You could think of it as a person’s fist.

But techniques using that mana are like punches thrown with that fist.

So if you strike yourself, damage follows to yourself.

That’s why.

“Let’s go together.”

I’ll just break through the barriers.

Instead, I’ll substitute the unavoidable wide-range attack with the lightning following behind.

With a grin spreading across my face, I flew toward Zero, breaking barriers with my fist wrapped in ‘flame mist’.

At that moment, the lightning following behind enveloped me.

“Kugh…!”

“Kyaaaaaaah!”

Zero, who was close to me, also.

[Synchronization Rate 11.0%]

Unable to avoid the lightning, got fried together with me.
