Chapter 5. Recognizing The Monster

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Its been five minutes since we came out of the room. We were still walking up. We walked up spiral stairs that had no support, and walked through walls that seemed solid to the eyes.

So?

So? What do you mean, so?

Necro answered casually without even looking back.

The reason why youre killing the Hero. Is it simply because the Hero is useless now?

Ah~ that? Well, theres that too, but if I were to put it in simple terms, rebellion? Its a bit complicated. This country did all sorts of dirty stuff in the past.

It seems that the Hero has quite a lot of followers.

After all, the number of followers the Hero had was able to start a rebellion.

Theres a lot, yeah, but the real problem is that each and every one of them are at [brave class]. Its quite annoying.

It was easy to see how many would flock under the Hero who saved the world.

Just a hundred of them should be able to destroy this country? Lets see they should be able to rival a tactical nuke by themselves?

Was it possible for a person to get that strong in this world? I suppose I should just be thankful that they werent as strong as a strategic nuke.

A Hero...

His level should be high, and his equipment should be high as well. Would someone like me be able to beat him? Necro seemed to read my thoughts, and dismissed his previous statement.

Ah! Sorry, sorry! A nuke is a little overkill. They should be like an ICBM that isnt carrying a nuke?

A minute difference.

But the [Hero] is entirely different as well. You can compare these three like this.

Theres the brave class, and theres also braves themselves...

Three?

Four is a bit iffy three. Three braves, and one Hero. They have one mascot, but you dont need to worry about that. It isnt really a target either.

So that means Id have to fight four people at once...

Hm? Ah~ I didnt explain properly. The one whos leading the rebellion is the Hero. The others just after defeating the demon king, they just went to do their own thing. You should know why were killing them, though? It would be good to get rid of potential threats before they become an actual threat.

So they arent together right now good.

Well, I get it now. But still, I shouldnt be able to fight someone like the Hero by myself?

I was curious about this the most.

Shouldnt I level up bit by bit if Im to face the Hero? Do we have time for that?

Despite the fact that I have a title of Historys Worst Killer, in the end I am but a normal human. No matter what I do, I cannot defeat a missile. Well, I could kill the operator, though.

If I were to be honest with you, we dont have much time? But there is this one thing called power in our hands.

So that was it. The ability that gets bestowed unto an individual for the simple fact that they crossed over from a different world... Smelter was able to change the form of whatever metal he touched, and Steal More could steal anything apart from a different persons power. An ability that didnt require any effort or understanding to receive. If an ability such as murder by sight existed, thered be no meaning in having differences in levels.

Youre putting your expectations into my power? You dont even know what it is.

That is true. But I can feel it. [Heart of Gold]. From what Ive seen in this world, the more chuuni the name, the stronger its power.

I couldnt understand his grading stantard.

Chuuni power well, fine. Can I learn how to use this power now?

O-of course not! Please!

Necro shouted out of surprise.

We dont even know what the ability does? Just wait till we get back to our shelter! It might be dangerous!

Powers seemed to be as dangerous as it was beneficial. Well, it wasnt like it didnt make sense, though. If my power could control germs Or emit toxic amounts of radiation from my body other people would be in danger. I should try to find out what it does from somewhere safe.

If you go there, some strange child will explain everything to you whether you want it or not, so dont worry about it. Right now, we need to meet the prime minister.

Prime minister?

This was a castle, though.

Is this a constitutional monarchy?

Eh? Howd you know? I havent even told you.

Was the the effect of otherworlders as well?

This castle doesnt seem to have electricity. Does this place not even have a generator of any sort?

Well, thats what all fantasy worlds are, I guess. But hey, its not a total dump? They even have steam locomotives? Pretty good, dont you think? Steampunk!

The surroundings were quite dark. Ive tried looking around the castle with my Floating Eye, but there didnt seem to be any source of power. I bowed down, and passed by the low ceiling. Necro, who was in front of me, was passing through a door about half his size. When I tried to catch up, he waved me back.

Take your time. Slowly, now. Ah, speaking of technology, want to know something fun? They dont even have internet here.

...Thats a little troublesome.

I stood back up after passing through the small door. We were at the edge of a cliff. Outside the window was the sea. When I looked up, I could see an array of rib vaults like those in a cathedral.

Were almost there.

This was the eighth time I heard this already. When I turned the corner, a group of maids who found me screamed. They immediately looked down on the floor, and passed me by. I could sense fear and discomfort from their faces. Well... it is true that I dont look particularly human right now. I wouldnt be surprised if I were to be mistaken as a monster.

Dont worry about those girls. They were just screaming because you were so handsome. Just like they do in concerts, you know?

His encouragement didnt help one bit.

Were here.

Necro walked towards the giant door in front of him in big strides. When I walked behind him slowly, the guards in front of the door looked over me carefully. I could feel animosity from them. The two guards in front of the door crossed their spears in front of the door.

Sir Necro, would you tell us the purpose of your visit?

Summoned being examination.

The door opened in front of us. The people who were inside turned around to take a look at the new addition to their group. They all seemed to wear high-quality clothing. I treated Necro as a shield of sorts as I walked in. I could make out a large window, as well as a table filled with various documents. The prime minister, whose hair was filled with bits of white, was looking over the documents here. He didnt even look our way.

You all seem to be quite busy?

The prime minister looked up for a second, then looked back down on his table, as if he had no interest whatsoever. On the other hand, the rest of the people in the room couldnt get their eyes off of me.

What is that monster...

Disgusting.

Whered Sir Necro get such a thing...

The people either frowned, or put their hands to their mouths as if I smelled. It was a clear sign of disgust. And-

You dare bring a monster into the prime ministers office?! Sir Necro! Did you really think I wouldnt recognize black magic?!

A middle-aged man in militaristic uniform shouted this with all his strength. The name displayed on his status screen was Winton Marcilis. His level was 2. Other than that, no special features.

Oh boy, youre still going strong, arent you, coronel. To think youd have strength enough to shout sooo loudly. You should reserve that kind of stuff for the mountains, though.

Necro walked forward as he spoke tauntingly to the coronel.

Its no monster. Its a hero that we summoned? Dear me, and he came from so far, too please keep your voice down. Have at least a bit of respect. I mean, the prime ministers right next to you, for goodness sake. You should just stop shouting like a bird, while youre at it. No ones deaf here, you know?

The colonel spasmatiscally grabbed his sword. His body began to shine. In the short time when the people began to open their mouths, the colonel crossed five meters in near supersonic speed. It seemed that this was the result of body strengthening through the use of mana. The colonel, who stopped in front of me, began to swing his sword at me like an angry lion. It seemed that he was intending to strike my neck in one blow, but-

...Nn?!

He makes a funny sound, doesnt he. I exerted a bit of strength into the blade that I held between my fingertips. After all, I couldnt just keep it next to my neck forever.

K-kiii!

When I carefully moved the blade away from my neck, making sure that I didnt break it with too much strength, the colonel jumped sideways dramatically. He couldve just let go of the sword I was able to read some of the mans personality from that action alone. A martial artist. Great amount of pride. Enough political power to be able to be with the prime minister.

Kuuh!

The colonels face turned red. He put in enough strength to make a vein pop, but the sword simply refused to move. Of course, this was obvious. Although the capabilities of my body lowered to something below ten percent, I was still a product of [Advanced Science]. Even now, I was able to neutralize everyone in this room in three seconds.

You monster!!

How impolite.

Colonel Winton! Just what do you think youre doing! Youre pointing a blade at a guest!

The baton got passed to Necro. He probably wanted something like this to happen in the first place.

Didnt you hear? This person was summoned. What would you have done if you actually killed him? Do you even know how much this entire operation costs? Are you kidding me?

The colonel flinched after hearing the word cost.

Plus, if this persons neck got chopped off, this place would get dirtied with blood, wouldnt it? Were you trying to get the prime ministers office dirtied or something? Since when were you a terrorist?

The colonel let go of his sword after Necros criticism. He took out a handgun instead, and pointed it at my head.

Colonel Winton Marcilis.

A deep voice rang out. The colonel turned to the prime minister with prideful eyes.

This man is a monster! If we dont take care of him now, he might do something terri!

Stop!

The prime ministers voice seemed to carry the nuance that he was tired of hearing the colonels voice.

You seem to have gotten too much stress. Go rest. Ill look over the matter about you fighting in the front lines.

The colonel looked back at me with a red face. His eyes were shining like that of a tigers. To think hed be like this just because I look like a monster Necro probably did some unfavorable things in the past. Or a monster really is that dangerous. I threw the sword back at the colonel.

Clang.

It seemed that I put in too little strength. The sword dropped on the floor, and not the colonels hand. The colonel grit his teeth, ignored the sword on the floor, and walked towards me.

Ill put a bullet through your disgusting bald head one of these days!

He probably wouldnt have been like this if I looked like a cute girl.

Be grateful you were able to live today, damn monster!

The colonel spewed threats from his mouth, and exited the room violently. Necro turned to look at the colonels back, and grinned.

Seriously, that man. He thinks a gun can do anything? Hes just a wizard who failed to become one.

Necro turned around once more to face the prime minister.

Now its quiet. Well, Id like it if it was quieter, honestly.

The prime minister, who was fiddling with the pen in his hand, looked over to the people at the side and spoke.

...Ill take care of all your requests in the next two hours. Please leave the room.

The people all let out complaints after hearing this, but exit the room anyway. Now, there were just three people left in the room.
