My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 55

 

Episode 55. The True Uninvited Guest (2)

 

Crackle crackle.

 

The campfire burns.

 

Though hot heat should certainly be felt, somehow the surroundings aren’t getting brighter.

 

“What a creepy forest.”

 

Hmph.

 

One of the pursuers threw a tree branch toward the campfire.

 

The hot fire burned even more vigorously using the branch as fuel, but the surrounding darkness didn’t fade.

 

“Now I understand why this place is called one of the Five Great Forbidden Realms.”

 

Five Great Forbidden Realms.

 

A term referring to the five forbidden zones that exist in Orishion.

 

Can’t see even an inch ahead, so I don’t even know if we’re going forward or backward.

 

At that man’s words, his companion who was chewing grilled fish nodded.

 

“Since it’s this kind of forest, it makes sense that a witch would live here.”

 

“That’s true. A place like this would be the only kind of place where that bitch who massacred countless people with poison would be.”

 

Kuk kuk.

 

The pursuer who laughed with a low rumble picked up the fish skewered on a branch and held it out to the side.

 

“Hey. You should eat one too.”

 

“…”

 

“If you keep starving like that, you’ll collapse before we catch the witch.”

 

The man wearing a robe stared intently at the fish being offered to him.

 

After hesitating for quite a while, the man eventually shook his head.

 

At the signal that he wouldn’t eat, the pursuer clicked his tongue quietly and just bit into the fish he was holding.

 

“You really don’t need the bounty money, do you?”

 

“…I don’t need it.”

 

“Then why the hell did you come to a place like this? Me and the other guys all came here for money.”

 

The pursuer said this while making a circle with his index and middle fingers.

 

The dozen or so pursuers around them laughed as if their leader’s action was the correct answer.

 

The man looked around at those pursuers once, then hung his head low.

 

“It’s just for personal reasons.”

 

“We’ve been comrades traveling together for over two weeks, and you’re really cold, aren’t you?”

 

“…”

 

Tch.

 

The pursuers clicked their tongues as if finding it boring and began talking among themselves, excluding the man.

 

Then.

 

“Hm?”

 

Whoosh.

 

A wind from somewhere shakes the campfire.

 

The pursuer sitting with his back to the campfire reached his hand toward the sky and muttered.

 

“There’s wind in this forest too?”

 

Darkness is a forest of darkness.

 

Everything is consumed by darkness, so you can’t feel wind or light.

 

But he felt wind.

 

Curious about this fact, the man reached his hand toward the air.

 

And.

 

“The wind is cool-”

 

Crack!

 

From a sharp slash that flew from somewhere.

 

The man who had reached out his hand scattered red blood as he was sent flying.

 

* * *

 

He’s not dead, right?

 

I always feel this, but controlling strength is quite difficult.

 

After launching ‘Blade Aura’, I climbed up a nearby tree and looked down at the man sprawled on the ground.

 

Looking at him, his chest was rising and falling slightly, so he doesn’t seem to be dead.

 

I should do exactly this much.

 

Nodding my head, I held my breath as much as possible and looked down.

 

“Y-youngest!”

 

It seems the one I attacked was the youngest.

 

A large pursuer who called out desperately for the youngest ran toward him.

 

“Get it together, youngest!”

 

Shouting this, the pursuer took out a bottle containing something from his pocket.

 

Soon after, the youngest’s chest, which had been rising and falling slightly, gradually became peaceful.

 

‘It’s a potion’

 

I could only see silhouettes so I didn’t know what it was, but it seems it was a potion.

 

The wound should be healed, so I don’t need to worry about that side.

 

-I-I’ll cause a distraction.

 

Jini’s voice transmitted into my head.

 

I nodded and muttered.

 

-But it really can be heard from far away. That’s interesting?

 

-Is that so…?

 

I glanced at the shadow standing behind me.

 

Omen.

 

Being a high-level spirit of darkness, it can do many things.

 

From allowing me to see in the darkness, to telepathy.

 

Is this the power of a high-level spirit?

 

Turning my gaze back, I looked down.

 

There was a group of pursuers hastily taking positions and being vigilant of their surroundings.

 

They began surveying the area while forming a circular formation.

 

On the outside, large people held weapons and stood firm.

 

Behind them, those holding bows provided support.

 

Seeing them form a formation instantly without any signal, they seem to have quite a bit of combat experience.

 

And in their center.

 

That person wearing a robe is…

 

‘A staff?’

 

He was holding a staff in his hand.

 

Could he be a mage?

 

Anyway, they’re definitely different from Earth’s villains.

 

The moment they recognized the situation, they took positions and raised their weapons.

 

Above all, the power I feel from them.

 

That power itself was incomparably superior to the villains.

 

‘B-rank. No, A-rank.’

 

Having competed with Jeong Chan-woo, the strongest A-rank, I think I can tell.

 

Each and every one of them is at the level of an A-rank Hunter.

 

‘What kind of world is Orishion anyway.’

 

At a glance there seem to be around 20 people, and they’re all A-rank Hunter level or above.

 

If they were on Earth, each one would have been called a tremendous expert.

 

“Over there!”

 

Whoosh.

 

The spirit of darkness that Jini controls deliberately lets its presence slip.

 

They immediately turned their arrows toward the direction where they sensed movement.

 

Meanwhile, I was actually in the opposite direction from where they sensed the presence, and only then did I lightly jump down from the tree and approach them.

 

‘For now…’

 

Hissss-

 

Mist spreading thickly across the ground.

 

They were so focused on guarding the front in the already dark forest that they failed to notice the black mist spreading across the ground.

 

With a slight smile tugging at my lips, I lifted the mist and engulfed the warrior who was guarding the right side.

 

“Alex!”

 

The archer who noticed too late shouted loudly, but the pursuer named Alex was already covered by the mist.

 

The archer desperately unleashed attacks on the mist that had swallowed Alex, but the mist didn’t budge at all.

 

It simply remained there, quietly devouring Alex.

 

“Th-this can’t be…”

 

The cocoon of mist that had been impervious to any attack crumbled away.

 

The archer gritted his teeth at the sight of Alex collapsing with his eyes rolled back, and aimed an arrow at the air…

 

“Robin! Get a grip!”

 

A shout from behind him.

 

Finally snapping out of his confusion, Robin gritted his teeth and shouted.

 

“Alex is down! Requesting support!”

 

Don’t panic.

 

The moment you panic, you lose even winnable fights.

 

Robin, who had been the youngest until just a few months ago, concentrated while recalling those words he’d heard until his ears were sore.

 

I quietly watched this scene from a distance.

 

Indeed, they can’t be compared to the villains back on Earth.

 

Back on Earth, there were plenty of bastards who would give up and surrender by this point, but these guys hadn’t lost their fighting spirit yet.

 

Clicking my tongue softly, I crouched low and walked toward them.

 

“Kyaah!”

 

“Grraaah!”

 

“No, no-”

 

“Save me!”

 

“Aaaaah!”

 

“What’s suddenly happening-”

 

“Get away!”

 

“M-Mother-”

 

“Graaah!”

 

“Guhaaah!”

 

A space where you couldn’t see an inch ahead.

 

Endless screams echoing from within.

 

Feeling like he was in the eye of a storm, Robin’s legs gave out and he collapsed.

 

“Ha, haha…”

 

A voice flowing out as if he’d lost his mind.

 

Robin looked around with hot tears streaming from his eyes.

 

Gone.

 

The comrades who had been laughing and chatting with him just hours ago were nowhere to be seen.

 

All that appeared in Robin’s vision was dark blackness.

 

Is what I’m smelling now really the scent of earth?

 

Is the direction I’m looking really forward?

 

I don’t know anything.

 

There was no one left who could give him any signals now.

 

Filled with despair, Robin slowly raised his head to look up at the sky.

 

The distant high sky.

 

[Compatibility Rate 3.3%]

 

There, visible even in the dark blackness.

 

Vivid orange eyes were looking down at him.

 

The moment their eyes met, the orange eyes instantly drew closer.

 

With the sight of that grotesquely shaped right hand being the last thing he saw, Robin’s consciousness cut out.

 

“I didn’t intend to scare him this much.”

 

Tsk.

 

Clicking my tongue softly, I looked down at the unconscious Robin.

 

He seemed like the weakest one, so I left him for last.

 

You should deal with the strong people first to reduce the risk of counterattack, right?

 

That was my reasoning, but I really ended up scaring him tremendously without meaning to.

 

His crotch seemed wet, should I dip him in some water?

 

Clicking my tongue softly, I turned my gaze from the unconscious Robin to look straight ahead.

 

There, among the unconscious pursuit team, only one man stood firmly.

 

“…Who are you.”

 

“Hmm… Well. How should I explain this?”

 

I scratched my cheek while looking at the man.

 

This has become quite troublesome.

 

The others had all failed to detect the mist.

 

So I was able to subdue them easily.

 

Thanks to that, I could make them think they were attacked by some unknown entity rather than a witch.

 

However, there was one person who detected the mist.

 

Yes, except for that man in the center holding a staff.

 

The moment I spread the mist on the ground, this man immediately reacted, abandoned the magic he was preparing, and focused on protecting himself.

 

Because of that, even when I tried to attack while hidden in darkness, I couldn’t.

 

“That barrier was quite sturdy.”

 

As always, controlling my strength is really difficult.

 

I can definitely break it.

 

But I’m not sure how much force would be needed to break that thing.

 

The man looked at me and quietly gripped his staff.

 

“…Where is the witch.”

 

“Why are you asking me that?”

 

“If you’re the witch’s minion, you should know well enough.”

 

Well, since I’m beating up pursuers in Darkness, which is the witch’s domain, I suppose it would look that way.

 

I should clear up this misunderstanding.

 

I thought that and opened my mouth.

 

No, I tried to open my mouth.

 

“Hey, minion. Does Jini still like fish?”

 

If only the name ‘Jini’ hadn’t clearly flowed from his mouth.

 

And if only the fact that Jini’s favorite food is ‘fish’ hadn’t come out.

 

My face hardened as I stared at the man.

 

The man chuckled at my reaction and removed the robe he’d been wearing.

 

“…!”

 

Half of his face was disfigured by burns.

 

Because of that, I couldn’t tell what he originally looked like.

 

But judging by the remaining half, the handsome blonde man shouted toward the air.

 

“Hey, Jini. Come out right now. Your master has returned.”

 

A voice echoing hollowly through the dark forest.

 

The moment the rippling sound waves spread far and wide.

 

The darkness of the forest, which had been utterly silent, began to churn violently.

 

The rest was so clear that not only I, but even the man before my eyes could understand it.

 

The man who had dropped his head said nothing more after that.

 

As if waiting for someone.

 

He just stood there maintaining his silence.

 

1 second, 2 seconds.

 

After a minute that felt like an hour passed.

 

Someone fell powerlessly from the sky, their red hair fluttering.

 

The one who fell like that trembled violently like an aspen leaf, knelt on the ground and bowed their head.

 

“I-I greet Lord Revil….”

 

Jini was bowing her head flat.

 

The man called Revil looked at Jini and chuckled.

 

“Jini, were you surprised? That I’m alive when you thought I had died from poisoning.”

 

“…!”

 

“Well, of course you would be. You’re a witch who poisoned our entire family, and even the whole trading company, then fled despite being a slave.”

 

With each word that flowed from Revil’s mouth.

 

Jini’s trembling grew stronger and stronger.

 

Revil looked at Jini with a fishy smile and said.

 

“Hey Jini. How was the freedom you gained by poisoning us? Was it sweet?”

 

“….”

 

“If you’re a slave, you should act like a slave and answer your master’s questions immediately, shouldn’t you, Jini?”

 

At the man’s words, Jini slowly raised her head.

 

Her pale face had long been covered with fear and tears.

 

Jini breathed roughly as if she might collapse at any moment.

 

She struggled to open her mouth to give the answer her master wanted.

 

And I.

 

“That’s enough.”

 

I blocked Jini’s path and looked at Revil with sunken eyes.

 

I don’t know Jini’s circumstances.

 

I don’t know what kind of life she lived or what kind of child she originally was.

 

But still.

 

The Jini I saw wasn’t the type to poison someone.

 

That’s why I couldn’t just watch her crumble.

 

More than anything.

 

“Hey, you.”

 

At first I thought it was a mistake.

 

But as I continued watching, I realized it wasn’t a mistake.

 

“…Lackey. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t interfere with the beautiful reunion between master and slave?”

 

“Shut up, and you’d better explain properly.”

 

Crack.

 

Scales emerging on the back of my hand.

 

Having activated ‘Black Dragon’, I clenched my fist tightly and looked at Revil.

 

“The reason I can feel demonic energy from your body right now.”

 

“….”

 

From Revil who was standing before my eyes.

 

I had been faintly sensing demonic energy since earlier.
