99. The regenerating disaster. (3)

“…… It’s an absurd operation. No.”

“How absurd.”

Operation, no, can it really be called a ‘operation’?

It would be more accurate to call it a suicide attempt rather than calling it an operation.

Lucia was saying that she would deal with the disaster alone.

“Don’t force yourself. Lucia.”

Disaster is not a monster that one individual can deal with.

I knew because I fought, and I knew because I barely won.

The only human who killed the disaster alone. Because none of that existed except for me.

He should have fought alone and killed a calamity, but it was entirely a fluke and luck.

…… If I fight again, I’ll die nine times out of ten.

The difference between the species itself and nothing else.

It wasn’t because my efforts were lacking. Because I couldn’t handle the sword better, I couldn’t build up more magic power, so it wasn’t just such an insignificant reason.

Even if you polish everything to the limit of the extreme that you can reach as a human being, disaster has always been more than that.

It’s funny…….

I can be sure because I was the strongest human being, at least based on the previous episode.

A person who can overcome disaster alone…… No.

Rin of the Silver Lang tribe, Dagnes who handled the sword, and Aion, who was the head of Reinhardt, were all at least one number lower than me.

It wouldn’t be much different even if it was Lucia.

It’s not courage, it’s recklessness. It’s not self-confidence, it’s arrogance. I tried to say that.

“You’re pushing me, Cale. Do you think ‘Regeneration Disaster’ is someone you can deal with just because there are a lot of pages?”

“Lucia, how do you know that is a catastrophe of regeneration—”

“I saw it in a book. The fleshy visual catastrophe is the catastrophe of regeneration.”

As if she had expected it, Lucia interrupted her words in the middle.

Yes, as she said, he was a disaster of regeneration.

A disaster that specializes in self-regeneration.

Even demons that have inherited only a small portion of the power of the disaster of regeneration do not die.

Even if a limb is cut off, it can regenerate in an hour or two, and even if its head is cut, it can regenerate its head.

The only way to kill them is to cut their heads and hearts at the same time.

If only demons inherited part of the demonic power of regeneration.

What about the disaster of regeneration?

“I don’t even need a sword unless it’s the level of a sword master. If the knife is lifted, it will regenerate right away, leaving only a slight scar.”

As Lucia said, the disaster of regeneration was such a monster.

The kind of monster that digs the wound even if stabbed with a sword and regenerates the wound before the sword is driven into it.

The result is the same whether you cut it with a sword or hit it with magic.

That hideous mass of flesh will devour all attacks and regenerate wounds.

In the previous episode, if it hadn’t been for an unknown reason that his regeneration hadn’t slowed down, I wouldn’t have been able to kill him.

“No matter what… ….”

Kung.

While I was speaking, my stomach rocked.

“Confirmed contact with unidentified object, ship’s magic circle is collapsing from below!”

“f*ck the Unidentified Objects. What a disaster! Everyone, prepare for battle again!”

Kooung.

Surely, the catastrophe of regeneration would not have been of such a large scale, but the ship is rocking again.

And I soon found out why.

“…… It looks like the Kraken has been eaten.”

Because the size of the grotesque flesh that came up on the deck increased in variety.

Kulleong.

Just looking at it makes me feel sick.

A normal person wouldn’t be able to do anything because of his presence alone.

In fact, even some of the veterans of the Mystic Pirates were gagging, losing their will to fight.

A strange being that lacks life itself.

The creepy demonic energy spread as if absorbing the surrounding magic power.

The opponent is an existence close to the origin of the devil.

Did they lose their morale just by facing each other, or did they intuit that they couldn’t win.

Raneia lowered her voice and said.

“…… Everyone, throw away the thought of returning alive.”

Kulleong.

It was a small voice, but it etched clearly in the ears of everyone on the ship’s deck.

From the moment we faced the disaster, the ship was filled with only silence.

With the disgusting sound of flesh colliding and moving, unique to the catastrophe of regeneration.

Shoot ah——.

The sea moved.

“Just.”

There was an illusion that the sea level was lowering, and huge waves rose around the ship.

A spectacle as if a huge tsunami had struck.

It was only then that I belatedly recalled her existence.

A mermaid, a siren.

A brave warrior of the sea who endured a week alone against the disaster of regeneration in the previous episode.

Raneia can display her full power if she is with the sea.

“We will not even lose! If you kill that bastard, your name will be written at least in the history books!”

Daat.

Now that it’s over, as if there’s no reason to hide his identity, the shape of the spear began to change into a trident.

If there was a sea god who was in charge of the sea among the ancient gods, would it have looked like this?

A vast expanse of magical energy, like the sea, poured over the ship along with the waves.

If the ship had been swept away by waves of that magnitude, the entire ship would have sunk.

As if the waves were alive and moving one by one, they poured towards the catastrophe of regeneration on the deck.

Water.

No, taking the form of a wave of sharpened blades.

Suddenly, sulkingly!

Let’s go let’s go——

The waves cut, cut, cut through the flesh.

It didn’t take long for the blue sea water to be covered with bright red light.

[──!]

A scream or an unknown sound erupted from the disaster.

The essence of Raneia’s power is salty sea water.

In other words, it was as if she was cutting with a knife and spraying salt water on her wounds at the same time.

“Okay, it’s being eaten!”

Someone who saw that the calamity did not move cried out in a voice full of joy.

“…… No, no.”

I couldn’t burst into joy like that.

Raneia…… Because you can’t beat the disaster of regeneration.

All rounds. Even though it was a few years later, Raneia was only able to withstand the catastrophe of regeneration.

From noble mtl dot com

Even if it seemed overwhelming for a moment…….

Raneia cannot overcome the catastrophe of regeneration.

Quaaah!

The calamity of regeneration, which stopped for a moment like blocking a wave, quickly rushed in the direction of Raneia.

It’s hard to believe that he’s wearing those terrible pieces of flesh.

“Uh–“

“…… Miss Lanaia!”

I jumped at Raneia, who couldn’t avoid her, and grabbed her with her car and knocked her down.

The slithering body of a regenerative calamity passed her head just above her head.

“…… Tsk.”

I bit my lower lip and put an aura on my sword.

If it’s a moderate attack, it’s pushed back by regeneration, so you can’t even hurt it.

Unless it’s a special attack that pours out before it even regenerates like Raneia, it’s impossible to cut it.

Among the swords I have right now, the one with the most potential to cut him is—

“Okay. So did you say i will do it alone …… Stay away.”

Daat.

A dome-shaped defense shield was created along with it, covering the entire area.

It looks like it’s locked up so that it can’t go out.

“…… Lucia!”

Thump!

I knocked reflexively, but I had to feel the tingling sensation in my fist.

The intensity is incomparable to the ‘Perfect Cube’, the shield magic that Lucia used before.

Lucia caught a glimpse of me knocking on the wall and said.

“It won’t break. At least until that bastard dies, or until I die. It’s that kind of magic.”

Was Lucia hiding her powers, or was there a reason why she couldn’t use them?

How can I use this kind of magic? I don’t know how you know the catastrophe so well…….

No.

‘It’s not that he doesn’t know, he must have pretended not to know.’

Kook.

I clenched my fists so hard that my hands were bleeding. I knocked on the wall and said.

“Lucia…… No, ‘Lou.'”

The name of the mage I trusted the most in the previous episode.

The one who loved me beyond measure. However, I couldn’t afford to accept that feeling, so I pretended not to know.

The name of a close friend and comrade who is as precious as his life.

I recited her nickname that only I used to call in the world.

“…… It’s there, right Lu.”

After saying that, Lucia stopped for a moment.

Lucia standing in place without looking back, no. ‘Roo’.

“Kale. It’s out of the blue, but you know what?”

I wonder if the sound inside the shield can’t be heard from the outside.

Or are you pretending not to be heard?

Lucia smiled in front of the shield and said.

“Once you reach a certain level, you get a sense of it. Since when did I exist in this world, and until when will I exist?”

“What… ….”

“Before I entered the Magic Tower, I didn’t know about my age because it was only when I was in an orphanage. I thought you were the same age as me, but you’re a year older?”

As if they were not going to fight, but going out.

The tone is very light and there is not even a hint of tension.

“So, would you like to call me older sister? Sister Lucia.”

“… ….”

“…… Hot!”

──Kwaaang!

Before Lucia could say anything, something struck her defenses.

A mass of flesh that extends like tentacles.

Lucia easily dodged it and said. Still in a light tone.

She whispered in my ear, with a voice that made her playful.

“Anyway. I’m waiting for you? Until this sister solves it.”

* * *

Down!

Lu, who teleported away from the ensuing masses of flesh, went up into the air.

The shield hit the entire ship in a circle.

I really want to teleport him to a place far away from the ship.

Because directly intervening in a calamity with magic entails an unimaginable consumption of mana.

Perhaps with the amount of mana left now, if I teleport to a distant place, that mana will be exhausted.

-…… What are you thinking? Alone. Against such a monster?

The voice of ‘I’ coming from inside my head.

Hearing that, Lou smiled lightly.

“Let me tell you first, I have no intention of letting you die, Lucia. It’s not that I made a one-on-one place with disaster without thinking.”

A lump of irregularly shaped flesh.

The so-called ‘disaster’.

In my heyday, there were times when I faced up to three guys like him at the same time.

The power I have right now is not to that extent.

He is a time traveler, a vagabond who has not settled anywhere and is suspending his life by deceiving the first source, ‘time’, and the second source, ‘death’.

…… Magic power once consumed cannot be recovered.

And the moment this mana runs out is…….

It must be the end of a miserable life that he is barely holding on to.

Duduk.

Lou broke her thin fingers together and chanted while activating the ten circles engraved in her soul.

“…… After. So don’t worry. It’s probably only one thing to die right here.”
