My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 64

Episode 64. One Thousand and One Nights (3)

The darkness writhes.

Dense darkness writhes restlessly.

The birth of darkness visible beyond it.

The darkness that had been pounding roughly like a heartbeat begins to split in half.

“Ugh….”

Bright light enters my vision that had grown accustomed to darkness.

Bright light I’m seeing for the first time in about two weeks.

Under the sun I finally faced, I let out a hollow laugh.

“This is maddening.”

Not far away.

A single black deer with red eyes staring intently at me.

The creature with massive antlers sprouting from its head was looking at me.

It’s neither particularly large nor small.

Just a black deer of ordinary size.

But the moment I met those red eyes of that deer, all the hair on my body stood on end.

I’m afraid.

I’m scared.

My instincts are screaming, and cold sweat is flowing out.

That’s why I can tell.

[9th Floor]

[Stop the Dark Spirit King Darkness]

[Not Achieved]

The fact that this deer is the Dark Spirit King.

The deer.

No, Darkness.

Looked at me without showing any reaction at all.

From that gaze, I felt a positive response along with an indescribable sensation.

“….”

What is this?

For just a moment, I felt as if my heart was sinking.

I touched my chest area with my right hand.

At that moment.

“Ah…?”

My vision rotated 180 degrees.

What?

Realizing something was wrong, I opened my eyes wide.

What was reflected in my eyes was.

‘My body…?’

The front view of my body that shouldn’t be visible.

Then my vision went dark along with terrible pain.

[Synchronization Rate 4.3%]

* * *

“Gasp!”

Huff, huff.

Having collapsed to my knees on the ground, I breathed roughly while clutching my neck.

I died.

Just now, I died from having my neck severed.

My head flew off and rolled around on the ground.

But.

“…It’s attached?”

The neck that should have flown off is perfectly attached.

What kind of situation is this?

I looked up ahead with trembling eyes.

There, the black deer that hadn’t moved a single step from its previous position was still just looking at me.

“…Damn it.”

A hallucination.

The specialty of dark spirits.

That incredibly realistic experience was all a hallucination.

Staggering as I got up, I glanced back.

There, Elpinire and Jini were also sitting collapsed, having experienced similar hallucinations to mine.

“…Elpinire.”

“Kuh, kuugh.”

Elpinire, for whom death was a first experience, was breathing roughly.

But the fighting spirit in her eyes hadn’t disappeared.

When I called her, she began to struggle to get up.

I shook my head toward Elpinire.

“Protect Jini.”

Since I’ve burned to death hundreds of times in the Tutorial Tower, death is familiar to me.

I don’t feel much fear from the concept of death either.

But Elpinire is different.

She normally fears death.

So the Dark Spirit King that makes one see death through hallucinations.

Only I, who doesn’t fear death, can face it.

I took a step toward the Dark Spirit King with sunken eyes.

And my body was torn into hundreds of pieces and scattered across the ground.

[Synchronization Rate 4.4%]

* * *

The experience of having one’s body torn into hundreds of pieces while alive is truly awful.

Having awakened from the hallucination upon death, I deliberately took calm deep breaths.

The Dark Deer was still standing quietly in that same spot.

I can do this.

I can endure this.

Gritting my teeth, I took another step forward.

At that moment, my body began burning in flames of thousands of degrees.

[Synchronization Rate 4.5%]

* * *

My body freezes at absolute zero.

[Synchronization Rate 4.6%]

* * *

Oxygen disappears from inside my lungs.

[Synchronization Rate 4.7%]

* * *

Lightning striking down from the sky pierces through me.

[Synchronization Rate 4.8%]

* * *

A blade pierces my heart.

[Synchronization Rate 4.9%]

* * *

I die, die, and die again.

With each step I take forward, I meet my end in a new way.

Even though it wasn’t that far of a distance, it took me what felt like days to reach right in front of the Dark Deer.

That’s how it feels.

With all strength drained from my body, I staggered and looked at the Dark Deer.

From the moment I first encountered it until now.

It had been waiting for me without moving a single step.

[Black Dragon]

Countless deaths.

Right now, just maintaining consciousness is my limit.

Even with my vision flickering relentlessly, I gritted my teeth and activated ‘Black Dragon’, throwing my fist toward the Dark Deer.

The Dark Deer didn’t move.

However.

“I knew this would happen…”

The deer before my eyes was a non-existent illusion.

My fist passed lightly through the deer.

Losing my balance and collapsing, I struggled to lift my head and look up at the sky.

There, a Dark Deer incomparably more massive than before was looking down at me.

“Haa, haa.”

I clutched my chest and looked up at Darkness.

As if to reward me for reaching that point, it raised its front hoof.

“…Damn it.”

Thud!

The deer’s hoof struck the ground.

Along with the ground trembling as if an earthquake had occurred, whirlpools of darkness began to surge upward.

Dozens of pillars of darkness appeared in the peaceful forest.

Forcing my immobile legs to move and kicking off the ground, I barely managed to avoid the pillars of darkness.

“Kheup…”

Rolling and tumbling.

I avoided the pillars of darkness, but couldn’t land properly.

With my entire body drooping like wet tissue paper, I rolled pathetically across the ground.

“Master!”

Thud!

Elpinire, who had rushed over kicking off the ground, embraced me and retreated backward.

Hanging limply, I watched Elpinire who was carrying Jini on her back while embracing me as she fled.

She was drenched in cold sweat, as if she had experienced death once again.

“That thing… that thing is absolutely unbeatable!”

Elpinire rolled her eyes to look at the massive deer.

The master of darkness looking down at her as she fled.

Having barely escaped the terror of death, she realized.

She had no choice but to realize.

“That being is similar to Mother!”

She could tell because she was a High Elf, a descendant of the World Tree.

She could tell because she was a being close to the World Tree.

The dignity possessed by the Dark Spirit King was similar to that of the World Tree.

At Elpinire’s words, I let out a powerless laugh.

“System, you conscienceless bastard…”

No wonder it was so damn strong.

Setting a condition to stop an enemy similar in level to the World Tree.

I had gained the blessing of super-regeneration just by eating the World Tree’s Fruit.

The World Tree was a being far superior to me to that extent.

But the Dark Spirit King is supposedly similar to the World Tree.

You call this kind of thing a condition?

Judging it absolutely unwinnable, Elpinire quickly moved away from Darkness while carrying me and Jini.

Her choice wasn’t wrong.

It’s just that Darkness wouldn’t tolerate it.

“…!”

Crackle.

Dark lightning descended above Elpinire’s head.

Along with the black flash, Elpinire’s eyes lost focus and she collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

“Elpinire!”

Thump!

Having crashed to the ground with Elpinire, I urgently called out to her.

But she showed no response.

“Did she fall under an illusion…”

My strength had recovered, albeit very slightly.

Staggering as I got up, I clutched my left arm that had been shattered in the fall and looked up at the massive deer above.

Antlers glowing with purple light.

Black whirlpools surged from the ground, and black lightning struck from the sky.

Despair.

I can’t think of any way to win.

At least with the Tutorial Tower’s Guardian, I could use some tricks.

That’s why I didn’t despair or give up then.

But now, there aren’t even any tricks I can use.

No matter how hard I rack my brain, I can’t see a way out.

Hitting a rock with an egg.

There’s no more appropriate expression for this current situation.

“Even so.”

I clenched my trembling fist tightly.

Even if I can’t win.

I won’t give up.

Even if gritting my teeth and challenging won’t change the future.

I don’t feel like giving up and letting go.

That’s why I commanded my mushy brain to activate ‘Black Dragon’.

[Black Dragon]

Scales emerging slower than ever before, but more certain than ever.

I can do it.

I can do it.

I repeated this to myself countless times and took one step forward.

-…

Darkness, who had been looking down at me intently, raised its front hoof toward me.

I tensed my legs to dodge the attack that would soon come flying.

At that moment.

-Kind human. I will help.

Omen, returned to its original size, embraced me.

Smiling weakly, I asked Omen.

“Are you okay?”

-I can’t say I’m okay.

“Please.”

-Leave it to me.

Paang!

Omen grabs my shoulder with his talons and flaps his wings.

Omen soared high into the sky like that.

“It’s coming.”

The giant deer turns its head.

Rising echoes of darkness.

Those echoes soon became thorns of darkness and began rushing toward us.

-I’ll dodge.

Whoosh!

Omen folds his wings and spins once in midair.

The thorns of darkness barely graze past us.

While avoiding the attack and spreading his wings simultaneously, he soared high into the sky once again.

Omen sent thorns of darkness below his feet.

He spoke to me in a sunken voice.

-Kind human. I have a request.

Thorns of darkness fill my vision as they shoot forth.

Omen, who momentarily stopped advancing, strongly scattered darkness toward the front.

Using darkness to temporarily stop the shooting thorns of darkness, Omen flew through the dense thorns.

-Our King probably didn’t willingly accept the power called magi. He must have been forcibly injected with it, leaving only instincts behind.

Crack!

The thorns of darkness that shattered through Omen’s scattered darkness slice across Omen’s wing joint.

Omen, who momentarily lost balance and staggered, boldly cut off his magi-tainted wing and created a new wing.

-It’s shameless of me to make such a request to you who saved Jini.

The distance has closed.

Omen, whose size had shrunk due to cutting off his wing, released the strength from his talons that were holding me high in the sky.

-Please put our King at ease.

Whoooosh.

My vision flipped 180 degrees.

I fell downward and calmly closed my eyes.

“…You’re really too much.”

How am I supposed to put that thing at ease?

I muttered weakly and opened my closed eyes.

The giant deer’s head enters my vision.

I can’t win.

I know that fact better than anyone.

But.

“Snap out of it, you damn deer bastard.”

Even so, I won’t give up.

It would be enough just to make Darkness regain his senses.

Gritting my teeth, I strongly compressed mist above my clenched fist.

A layer of compressed mist stacks above my right hand.

But I didn’t stop there.

One more layer.

One more layer.

I stack the compressed mist layer by layer.

I compress the power.

My right hand gradually swells up.

Then at one moment.

[A derivative technique ‘Thousand Transformations’ of ‘Mist’ is generated.]

Cracks began to form in the mist surrounding my enlarged right hand.

[Thousand Transformations]

[Shapes high-density compressed mist into a specific form.]

The mist shatters.

What emerged from within was no longer a human’s right hand.

It was the true Black Dragon’s right hand, completely different from before.

Black thorns protruded roughly.

The protruding scales changed into blade-like sharp forms.

The claws became longer and sharper.

The black mist that naturally flowed from between the scales even devoured the surrounding light.

[Thousand Transformations – Dragon Scales]

Maybe it’s possible now.

As if recognizing this, Darkness, who had been watching, flashed his red eyes.

Black sparks form above my head.

Soon hallucinations will engulf me.

But I didn’t stop smiling.

Why?

[Synchronization Rate 5.0%]

My current synchronization rate has exceeded 5%.

And in exchange for that.

[Synchronization Rate 5.0% Achieved]

[The Black Dragon’s dormant body part, ‘Eyes,’ is unlocked.]

[The Black Dragon’s eyes only capture truth.]

Because my eyes can no longer capture hallucinations.

The hallucination successfully activated, but soon crumbled away.

The Black Dragon’s eyes distinguish between falsehood and truth.

‘I can see it.’

The giant black deer.

Something small in its center is captured by my enhanced ‘eyes.’

I tilted my body and shot toward that something.

My body penetrates through the black deer, boring into it.

The spreading magi instantly clings and melts my body, but it doesn’t matter.

I don’t care.

I only keep my eyes on that something in the center.

“Hup!”

My fist thrusts forward.

It cuts through the darkness and extends.

It advances forward.

My fist soon struck the flickering dark flame at the center.

“Kugh…!”

I crashed to the ground.

Rolling on the floor and breathing roughly, I lifted my head.

There, the motionless black deer was slowly scattering into smoke.

“I won…”

Ha.

I actually won this.

I exhaled the relief that had settled in my chest and looked ahead…

“…”

One, two.

Dark flames emerge from inside the black deer.

The scattering body had somehow returned to its original state.

I stared blankly at the hundreds of ink-colored flames that had appeared on his body.

-….

Darkness turned his head.

He looked down at me with red eyes.

Unlike before when he was emotionless, I could clearly read the intent of ‘Is this it?’ in his eyes, so I smiled weakly and shook my head.

“This is driving me crazy….”

What am I supposed to do if he won’t die even after this.

Darkness raised his front hoof toward me as I lay collapsed on the ground.

I need to dodge.

I don’t have the strength to dodge.

I can’t even move a single finger now.

Just as the Spirit King’s hoof was about to stomp down on me.

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld keeps his promise with you.]

Someone who appeared before my eyes.

Lightly blocked the Spirit King’s foot with one hand.
