My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 31

Episode 31. The Giving Tree (3)

The black mist’s iron fist extending straight forward.

The man called Yuto, consumed by demonic energy, made no move even as ‘Shadowless’ approached.

Because he knew.

Because he understood that this pathetic black mist couldn’t penetrate demonic energy.

‘But that’s not right.’

How could I not know what he knows?

The reason I still used ‘Shadowless’ was simple.

“Got you.”

The moment I got close to Yuto, the black mist scattered.

The mist took shape to trap Yuto in the center.

Having trapped Yuto in the center, I forcefully pulled my right arm in midair.

“…!”

Demonic energy melts mist.

But what if there’s a lot of it? It can’t melt it quickly.

Then could demonic energy really melt compressed mist?

“You can’t melt it, can you?”

The result was exactly as I could see before my eyes.

It couldn’t melt it.

Yuto rapidly closing in on me.

He aimed the orb of demonic energy he had been conjuring in his hand toward me.

[Smoke Mist – Rampage]

Boom boom boom!

A tremendous roar erupting in midair.

The compressed orb of demonic energy clashed with the violent mist explosion, creating a massive blast.

Thick smoke rising up.

Forcibly ignoring my right arm that was tingling from the aftermath, I swung my right hand toward the ground I was falling to.

[Smoke Mist – Mist Flight]

My body rising again while falling.

Having risen high into the sky through the smoke, I threw a punch behind my back while looking at the silhouette still in the center of the smoke.

The place where a faint silhouette was visible.

My body shot toward that location at high speed.

The tremendous velocity I felt in my body.

The enemy’s vision was obscured by the smoke that had returned.

Gritting my teeth, I forced my eyes open as they kept trying to close and extended my fist toward the silhouette in the center of the smoke.

[Black Dragon]

Crack-

The feeling of something shattering at my fingertips.

The punch had successfully landed.

However.

“Ugh….”

It was actually me who had been attacked.

Red blood scattering through the air.

Falling powerlessly through the smoke, I looked up.

‘What the hell was that?’

What hit me?

I couldn’t see properly because the smoke that hadn’t dissipated blocked my vision.

Something had hit me.

But I couldn’t see with my eyes what that something was.

I pressed hard on my torn side with my left hand.

Though I’d been counterattacked, it wasn’t enough to prevent me from moving.

It’s much better than the agony of burning to death, isn’t it?

Just before crashing to the ground, I lightly swung my fist behind me.

“Whew….”

Thud.

My two legs landing on the ground.

Trusting in ‘Natural Healing’, I removed the hand that had been stopping the bleeding.

Blood dripped steadily to the ground, but I had no time to worry about it.

The smoke that had been blocking both our vision was now.

‘He’s coming.’

Beginning to disappear.

The sky where the smoke had cleared.

There, Yuto, who had recognized me as a dangerous enemy, was extending his right hand toward me.

Deep purple energy gathering from that spot.

That energy flashed like a bright light for a moment, then shot toward me.

“Ugh!?”

Bang!

The purple beam was deflected elsewhere by my reflexively swung right hand.

The heavy impact I felt in my palm.

Because of it, not only my shoulder but even my right arm that had activated ‘Black Dragon’ trembled finely.

I clenched my trembling right arm tightly to suppress the shaking and ran forward.

[Smoke Mist – Mist Flight]

My current speed won’t do.

My body shooting forward with violent wind pressure.

Having shot forward like that, I swung my claws in midair.

[Smoke Mist – Mist Blade]

Five mist blades advancing toward Yuto.

Yuto scattered demonic energy to block the mist blades, but as expected, the demonic energy couldn’t stop the mist blades.

The mist blades pierced precisely into Yuto’s abdomen.

However.

“Damn it.”

‘Mist Blade’ only left light scratches on the black demonic energy covering Yuto, failing to inflict any meaningful damage.

No, I should say it failed to inflict any damage at all.

Even the scratches that had appeared vanished in an instant.

‘So that’s why he looked fine.’

The punch I’d thrown in the smoke had definitely connected, but Yuto before my eyes looked far too unharmed.

I thought it was because the attack hadn’t connected properly, but that wasn’t it.

The attack had connected properly.

He had just healed it instantly.

This is maddening.

How am I supposed to beat this?

Letting out a hollow laugh, I swung my fist forward to brake my body and landed on the ground.

‘There’s only one way to win.’

One strike so powerful that he can’t withstand it.

That was the only way for me to win.

That’s why I can’t just charge in recklessly.

I have to aim for the precise moment when I can successfully land an attack.

‘The power should be as strong as when I flew to the World Tree.’

Since I need to finish this for sure, I’ll grit my teeth and endure even if my shoulder gets blown off.

I lowered my eyes darkly and calmly exhaled while looking at Yuto floating in the sky.

The blood flowing from my side still hadn’t stopped.

* * *

Elsesto spat out the blood pooled in his mouth and let his greatsword hang downward.

His gaze was directed far away, toward Mir who was struggling while bleeding from his side.

“Making such an unreasonable request of a guest. It seems I’m unfit as a clan leader.”

Kuk kuk.

He laughed with a rumbling throat and forcibly smoothed his brow that kept trying to furrow.

“What kind of behavior is this in my old age.”

Though he had pretended to be fine in front of the children, he couldn’t say he was in good condition even as empty words.

After the children left, the mutants that had suddenly invaded in the first wave.

The only reason he had been able to stop far more mutants than now was because of his presence.

In that process, Elsid burned and part of the World Tree caught fire, but he had stopped the mutants’ advance without a single casualty.

That alone had been pushing himself too hard.

“When did you become so strong? Tell me, Reni.”

It seemed he would have to push himself even harder from now on.

Elsesto chuckled at Reni’s lack of response and looked at his left shoulder.

There, his shoulder that had been blown away just for letting his guard down slightly was greeting him.

“You were always the strongest in the party from the beginning, Reni.”

Despite being small and delicate-looking.

A woman who possessed combat power similar to El Spier’s.

Reni and El Spier were warriors of similar caliber, to the point where their sparring matches always ended fifty-fifty.

That’s why he had tried to face her himself instead of leaving it to the other children, but perhaps that was too greedy.

“To think that even I would have trouble winning now that you wield magi.”

Shaking his head, he lifted up his hanging greatsword.

Even so, he had no intention of falling.

He intended to fulfill all his assigned duties before leaving.

He had responsibilities.

“The responsibility to protect the children and mother.”

He could do it.

Taking a deep breath, he glared at the dark-haired woman floating in the air holding a sword of magi and poured mana into his greatsword.

Thump, thump, thump.

The ground rumbled.

Taking a step forward on the earth that began cracking from the force waves alone, he widened his eyes.

“This is the place.”

The World Tree’s blessing that Elsesto possessed, which revealed lies and truth.

The power called the Blessing of Falsehood pointed to only one spot as not being false.

“…Farewell.”

If he brought down this sword, there would be no tomorrow.

Even so, he didn’t stop.

Rather than become a beast out of fear of death, he would choose to die as a proud elf clan leader.

Elsesto brought down his greatsword containing all his power toward the direction the blessing indicated.

[Lord El – Sesto]

And so.

“Wh-what!?”

“…Grandfather.”

The sky split apart.

* * *

Under the sky split in half.

Elpinire bit her lips hard and let her broken arm hang while looking at the figure floating in the air.

Shuren, one of the humans who had come to Elsid ten years ago.

She had been a mage back then, and now.

“Huuu…”

She was casting magic tainted with magi.

A massive fireball imbued with shooting black flames.

Stepping into a proper stance, she twisted her waist and threw a straight punch with all her might.

[Lord El – Primo]

The indomitable iron fist said to have been used by Elpri-mo, the first elf clan leader, burst the shooting magi fireball.

Immediately after, she scraped the ground and roughly kicked toward the air.

[Lord El – Secondo]

The slashing attack said to have been used by Elsecondo, the second elf clan leader, shot toward Shuren.

Shuren deployed a magi barrier to block the incoming slash.

As if she had expected this, Elpinire immediately corrected her stance and continued to the next movement.

[Lord El – Terzo]

The righteous leap said to have been used by Elterzo, the third elf clan leader, pushed against the ground.

Shot forward at a speed that strained her legs, she was already behind Shuren, raising her foot.

[Lord El – Quarto]

Elquarto, the fourth elf clan leader, who was said to have used combat techniques most similar to her current style.

Part of the martial arts he had used was reproduced through her body.

Verdant mana filled all the mana circuits in her body.

She gritted her teeth and struck down at the back of Shuren’s head with her heel.

Thud- CRASH!

Shuren plummeted with a thunderous sound.

Immediately landing on the ground, she kicked off the earth and drove her knee toward Shuren.

“Tch.”

Smack!

Shuren’s extended hand blocked Elpinire’s incoming knee.

Clicking her tongue, Shuren twisted her body in the air, spun once, then swung her foot toward Shuren’s face.

“…”

Thwack!

This time Shuren couldn’t block and took the hit.

She tried to regain her posture in the air while scattering magi, but.

[Lord El – Terzo]

Elpinire was already above Shuren.

A fist struck down on Shuren’s head.

Her body floated up from the impact of being driven into the ground.

Her magi armor had cracked.

This level of power isn’t enough.

The moment she realized this, explosive magi burst forth from Shuren’s entire body.

“Urgh…!”

This isn’t just magi.

This is magic using magi.

A powerful torrent of force swept over her, so strong that her World Tree robe seemed meaningless.

The magi itself was already powerful, but the blade-sharp force mixed within it slashed at her entire body.

This was dangerous.

Therefore, she gritted her teeth and decided to use the power of the fifth clan leader, Elquinto.

[Lord El – Quinto]

Elquinto, the first female elf clan leader.

The protective barrier used by her, who was said to be as benevolent as the World Tree, protected Elpinire’s body.

Having barely endured the torrent of magi, she swallowed her tears and pulled her clenched fist back behind her.

“…Grandfather.”

Originally a power she couldn’t use despite learning it due to her inexperience.

But now, it felt like she could use it.

She gritted her teeth and aimed toward the ground.

Toward Shuren below.

For the elves.

[Lord El – Sesto]

She struck down the legacy left by Elsesto.

A single point.

A black dot marked on pure white drawing paper.

Like paint spreading in all directions when water is added.

“…”

Her striking fist.

Spread across the ground.

The earth trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.

Elpinire slowly rose from the distorted ground that looked as if it had been bombed, turning her gaze away from Shuren who had left only traces behind.

Only one remained.

Just Yuto.

She turned to join the fight, but soon stopped her steps.

“…That side is ending too.”

Yuto was bound by the black mist used by the human whose side wound had stopped bleeding.

The human was pulling him close, delivering a pitch-black fist that held not a single point of light.

That fist contained power as strong as when he had flown from that cave to this place in one strike.

It was over.

She wouldn’t need to worry about that side.

Just as Elpinire thought this and turned to support the elves fighting the mutants.

“-!”

An ear-splitting roar struck her.

Urgently turning her head back, she saw the human flying toward the World Tree while scattering red blood, and her pupils trembled violently.

“…Why?”

She creakily looked at the culprit who had made the human like that.

Reni, split in half by grandfather’s final attack.

Shuren, whose head had disappeared after she had finished him off moments ago.

Kalos who had been crushed while flying over.

And even Yuto who had fallen to the human’s attack.

The remaining four humans except Alec were gathering in one place, hanging limply.

The gathered bodies melted away without leaving even corpses, then merged into a single mass.

A lump of black demonic energy floating in the air.

And at the center of that mass.

“…♪.”

The same single eye they had encountered in the cave was laughing as if enjoying itself.
