Chapter 139 Rumor

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The moment one got touched by that iron rod, their pieces of flesh will get torn off. My magic was like that too, if I were to come closer it might get more effective but if I were to fight against that thing I won’t know if it will actually work or not before I actually try.

But once I failed I will be dead, this is like a gamble between one or zero. Even with just taking steps forward to that rampaging blue ogre, I’m already on the edge.

“Velt-sama, please remain at far, mid distance.” (Rumba)

“His range of attack is very wide. Just by the air pressure of his iron rod a normal person’s body and flesh will get scattered away-nari.” (Bardo)

Yeah, even if we get closer I will try to keep the distance as far possible. I need to somehow deal with it with by unleashing my technique from afar. If he were to use some wide area technique it will be bad after all.

“Magic Gatling!” (Rumba)

“Oh ancient thunder bird, gather together wandering lightning and defeat the enemy! Lightning!” (Bardo)

“Makyokushin Karate ・Justice Fist Cannon!” (Jonga)

Note: 魔極神カラーテ・正拳砲 (Makyokushin Karate Seikenhou)

“Fuwa Fuwa Air Bomb!” (Velt)

The rapid fire of Rumba’s gun.

Lightning strike of the thunder clad bird that Bardo summoned.

The punching pressure of the justice fist that Jonga unleashed.

And then, my invisible air bomb.

“Gahahahahaha, fuhahahahahaha! What’s wrong, you humans! Is there no one else that has prepared to die!” (Zetsuki)

Zetsuki was rampaging in the center of the troops. But he was full of openings. It will hit!

“Hm?” (Zetsuki)

He realized it. But it’s too late!

“Hmph, sneaking aroud… don’t do such a boring thing!”

At that instant, the earth under Zetsuki’s feet coiled around his body. And then it covered his body all the way to the head becoming its protector, becoming a flawless armor.

“Magic Equipment ・Resentful Tiger Earth God!” (Zetsuki)

Note: 魔道装備・怨虎地神 (Madou Soubi Ontora Chishin)

It was truly an absolute defense. The attack should have hit him square on but from inside the smoke Zetsuki’s armor has not even a single scratch on it.

“He, he is unscathed.” (Rumba)

“Monster-nari” (Bardo)

Rumba’s group expression became stiff. However I only thought of it as a chance. No matter how amazingly strong it’s exterior is, if his armor itself attack him what will happen?

“Fuwa Fuwa Pressure!” (Velt)

It’s very favorable that his whole body wrapped with earth. With that very earth I press his whole body hard.

“Be smashed!”

“Huh? O, oh? Ooh! Ndoryaaaa!” (Zetsuki)

Is there any meaning to his armor now? The moment Zetsuki swelled his muscles up his armor shattered into pieces.

Aren’t you way stronger than your own armor dammit.

“Fuh, how insolent. Who are you! Show yourself! Fight me bravely!” (Zetsuki)

Idiot. As if anyone would do that! Then it’s time for me to get desperate!

“Fuwa Fuwa World (Velt)!” (Velt)

No matter how many soldiers were sacrificed we won’t be able to win after all.

Then, let me use them instead.

“Wha, what the! My sword by itself!”

“My shield!”

“That’s my spear!”

“It got pulled away!”

From the dead humans to the humans who are still alive. I levitated all the weapons in this place to the widest possible extent I can and clump them up together into one point on the sky above Zetsuki.

“This is…”

Hundreds, thousands of blades in all their glory clumped into a giant sphere of around twenty meters big, adding its natural falling speed to the speed brought about from my controlling, I strike it down right away.

“Fuwa Fuwa Sword Meteor.”

However, I didn’t just let it fall as is. I also made it rotate. As the clumped blades are rotating, they started to braking into pieces.

Even if I become a murderer I won’t pull my hands away. That’s what I had in mind.

So that at least this guy’s metal rod won’t reach Forna’s group. Well, for that I have all the intention to kill at this moment but…

“Fufufufu, fuhahaha, this is interesting! This is the first time I see this technique!” ( Zetsuki)

I bet so, even if I have all the intention to kill, there’s no way for this guy to die. Along with a blinding flash of light the sword meteorite was smashed apart, then Zetsuki jumped out from the bottom of the crater.

Note : the author used 選考 (senkou) which means selection. Instead there’s a lot of words in Japanese that has same senkou as it’s reading one of which is flash, glint. So I assume the author made a mistake in the kanji here.

Moreover he seemed in a very good spirit, he was absolutely fine.

“What an unbelievable man he is.” (Rumba)

“No, but look at that -nari!”

“To think our King, capable of something like this…” (Jonga)

As Rumba’s group was shocked by Zetsuki’s strength, they also harbored a slight hope. And that is,

“Kukukuku, splendid. It’s been quite a long you know? For me to bleed that is!” (Zetsuki)

There was as bit of blood flowed down Zetsuki’s head. Though not a fatal wound, but there was indeed some millimeters cut inflicted on him.

Even though he is of the strongest class, he isn’t unscathed. That’s the proof of it.

“Tch, this is the problem with strongest muscle heads. Even their brain tissues have become the strongest there is.”

What should I do? If I were to get closer I might be caught with his eyes…

“That just now, is he did it?”

“It’s him! It’s Velt-sama! Princess Forna’s fiancee and also the hero in Empire’s defense war!”

“Amazing! That… that, to think he can inure Zetsuki!”

Wait, wait a minute!

“Oi, I beg you please stop talking! I can be discovered by him.” (Velt)

Don’t give me that much of attention please. I’ve somehow able to deal a small damage from a distance away, if my location got exposed it would be meaningless ain’t it.

“You are very reliable, Velt-sama!” (Rumba)

“Our King is a very extraordinary individual-nari!” (Bardo)

“I want to follow you with my life. The only people that I ever thought of like that were our King, Queen, and Princess, and you are the fourth ain’t it!” (Jonga)

Hey, you guys unexpectedly have flower fields in your heads!

I mean, this is bad! Why? Somehow, the guys that should have been in front of me split into two groups and opened up a path. Despite me not using Fuwa Fuwa Moses at all.

And then at the end of that path, there was Zetsuki shouldering his metal rod with smile plastered on his face.

“Hoh, so it’s you. The one who has made that interesting attack.” (Zetsuki)

“Sh*t! He knows!” (Velt)

Interesting my ass, our eyes have met.

And then, Zetsuki stopped his rampaging, with a calm look he took one step after another in that path, coming closer to me. So, the Great Human Alliance Army didn’t have the intention to protect me anymore.

It’s as if my duel with Zetsuki was being made into a movie, they not only opened up a path but also make an empty circle of one around one hundred meters surrounding us.

I don’t need this kind of discretion, you guys.

“Hm? Ooh, I remember you three guys over there. You guys were the members of four royal guards who served under Sharkryu isn’t it.” (Zetsuki)

Zetsuki pointed at Rumba’s group. They just glared at Zetsuki Silently. And then, Zetsuki line of sight was directed at me.

“Fumu, I also know about you, youngster. Your name is Velt isn’t it?” (Zetsuki)

Eh? Really?

“If I’m not mistaken, it was ‘the baddest guy in wheat fields of the world’ wasn’t it.” (Zetsuki)

“Stooooooopppppp! Don’t say thaaaaaaaaaat!” (Velt)

The sudden attack was too much beyond my imaginations. To think it would came out of his mouth. It was my dark history. If I can come back to those days I’m gonna stop it and hit myself if I have to.

Forna didn’t have the awareness that the words she said would be heard by the world!

“Wha, so Velt-sama has that kind of nickname!” (Rumba)

No it’s not! Don’t take that seriously!

“Hah hah hah ha, interesting youngster.” (Zetsuki)

“It ain’t interesting! I beg you just don’t spread around that nickname, absolutely stop it!” (Velt)

“I do about to stop. You also have another alias to yourself, I too already know it.” (Zetsuki)

“Ah? Alias? Don’t have it, that kind of stuff.” (Velt)

“As I was digging into Princess Forna’s weakness, I got a report regarding investigation about you. The man whose name is on the rise in the surroundings of Elfarshia Kingdom.” (Zetsuki)

Hah? My alias? This geezer, what is he saying?

Something about my alias…

“It’s Velt the Remote Control.” (Zetsuki)

“Don’t say that tooooooooooo!” (Velt)

Why? It’s not bad if it’s just my name but even the unnecessary ones got spread out too. I mean, why the hell this dude knows it!

“Fufu, youngster. I never expect that I’d be meeting you here. However, I also thought that I wanted meet you once.” (Zetsuki)

“Hah? Hey hey. Why A peerless, strongest ogre like you wanted to meet me who only beaten someone like Mackey Mouse?” (Velt)

“No, it has nothing to do with Love and Money. Aside from the Princess Forna’s investigation, I heard things about you from a certain man when we were having a drink.” (Zetsuki)

“Wha, what did you say?” (Velt)

What’s the meaning of this? He heard about me from someone else? A drink? Oi oi, I don’t know anyone amazing enough who could drink alcohol with this kind of ogre…

“The Four Divine Beast Demi Humans, he is Isamu the Martial God.” (Zetsuki)

Isamu! My heart jumped at the mention of that name. Well, Rumba’s group and the guys from Great Human Alliance Army who were there also got shocked.

“Wa, wait! Why would Isamu do that! Isn’t he a demihuman in the first place! Why is he drinking with you who are from the demon race!” (Velt)

That’s right. Just like humans and demon race, the demihumans and demon race also war against each other. So, how come they’re drinking together? At that question, Zetsuki just laughed.

“Fuhahaha, you said quite the unexpected thing. I heard it from Isamu you know? You have went passed the wall of human, demon, and demihuman, the very wall of said races and along with your friends fought against Isamu. And then, made Isamu who was attacking Shirom to splendidly withdraw.” (Zetsuki)

“ “ “ “EEEEEEEEEEHHHH!!!!” “ “ “

The others on the surrounding were more surprised than I was.

“Indeed that I and Kishin-sama have also been fighting the demihumans to death over and over. However, the strong has their own affinity among themselves. When they meet in the battlefield they will kill each other with all of their strength. But once they exchange drinks with each other, they will be able to sympathize that they also live in the same region, in the same world and becoming something like war buddies.” (Zetsuki)

Ahh, that feeling, if I’m not mistaken Maman also said the same thing. People who carried the same burden can understand each other, its like a respect as each other’s enemies. That’s why, when Samejima died he cried from the bottom of his heart.

“That Isamu that war against humans that we know of, for the sake of expressing his appreciation, he came all the way to our castle by himself, then he poured the finest alcohol to us. ‘I fought against some interesting people’ he said, he talked about it with such a happy expression.” (Zetsuki)

That kind of thing happened? That was such a troublesome talk they had.

Honestly, I don’t understand why Isamu took so much interest in me. Not only he can just lop off my arms as many times as he want, he can just kill me so easily, but for some reason he just laughed aloud then withdrew. That’s why I don’t know what he was expecting of me at all.

That’s why it bothers me when he made that smile that felt like saying [I look forward to it].

“No no, please wait a minute! So Velt-sama is a person that Martial God Isamu has recognized! It’s unbelievable! Our king is an incomparably amazing person!” (Rumba)

“Like I said, don’t be dragged with this strange flow!” (Velt)

Please just stop with it. Somehow, in that weird condition the talk got spread about.

“Something like that happened with Velt and that Isamu?”

“No way! Is that true Velt!”

“Velt-kun, so what you said at the Empire was the truth?”

“So there was something like that?”

“He, hey, then, Velt-kun has, no, Velt-san, no! So as long as we have Velt-sama!”

“Not only the demonfolks are obeying him, as long as Velt-sama who was being acknowledged by the Four Heavenly Beasts Demihumans is here!”

“That’s right, he is truly a living legend! The person Princess Forna has chosen is extraordinary!”

“Velt-sama… Remote Control Velt-sama!”

You guys, stop kidding around!

“No no no, Isamu was being fickle at that time. I was with Farga and others too… I mean, are you fine with that Great Human Alliance Army!” (Velt)

No, it’s already too late. The crowd already sent me gazes with [hope] pouring inside it.

Aah, if there’s a hole somewhere I want to go inside it. This felt like a punishment game.

“Geez. So? What do you think? After being told by that matchless geezer, my level is just this much, are you disappointed?” (Velt)

“Fuhahahaha, don’t ask me about such a boring thing. A man isn’t judged by what others told about, nor what was being seen. It is determined by clashing against each other!” (Zetsuki)

“This is why battle maniacs making me irritated! They are always full of confidence for no reason!” (Velt)

There’s no other way. But, what can I do? I was made to battle one on one in this specially set up ring…

And once I slip up I’d get scattered into minced meat. At the very least I shouldn’t get hit by that metal rod. Even if I can get around that metal rod, I shouldn’t come near it at all. I’m gonna get erased by just the air pressure of that swing.

But, can I deal damage with my offensive power?

Will it go well just like with Chirotan?

No, I should do well or I’ll be dead.

I mean, why am I being pushed to fight not knowing if I gonna be alive or dead on the frontline?

“However, I’ve been thinking of this even when you participated in the battle at the Empire, but from what Isamu said, I heard you aren’t the type that would participate in a war? Why are you here then?” (Zetsuki)

Why? No, that kind of thing doesn’t matter anymore.

“Idiot. If a man should try risking their life against someone like you, for the longest of time, it is of course for a woman.” (Velt)

“Fuh, though you’re being frank, the reason is that shallow huh. So you can die satisfied with that?” (Zetsuki)

“No, I’m not satisfied. That’s why, I’m gonna be satisfied with your death!” (Velt)

“So try and oppose me!” (Zetsuki)

“Rebelling is the painful proof of a kid’s existence!”

I talked back with as much abusive words as I can.

“A delinquent’s desperation is nothing but other people’s annoyance, so be careful with that!” (Velt)

I have to do it. That’s why, I hardened up my guts. Just like what Forna and others did.

“I will show you my Fuwa Fuwa Time!” (Velt)

“Interesting. Even if it’s just a few seconds, I’ll have you entertain me!” (Zetsuki)

For now I’ll avoid in being instant killed. But, it’s advantageous for me too. This battle will be decided in short time.

“I will end this with one move in an instant!” (Zetsuki)

Zetsuki soared up into the sky and held up his metal rod. His metal rod was wrapped in a visible magic power, shining so intensely.

It’s that technique! It’s that power that has brought about so many gigantic craters!

“Ogre Star!!!!” (Zetsuki)

Though he said to he wanted to entertain himself, he is now too much persistent that it felt like he was only putting on airs.

But, that’s also to my advantage.

When I already came this far, it’s time to make a turn back.

Make it or not make it. I will put my all into making it happen.

“UOOAAAAAAH!” (Velt)

I too flew up. So I can shorten the distance with Zetsuki a bit more.

“Fuhahahaha, that suicide attack posture, splendid! You can marry with that Princess Forna in netherworld!”

I flew up. But for what? With my attack power can I deal a fatal wound?

“Fuwa Fuwa Golden Bomber!” (Velt)

Note: ふわふわ 金爆撃！[ゴールデンボンバー] (Fuwa Fuwa Kinbakugeki! [Golden Bomber]) The kanji can be translated into Golden Explosion?

“!!!!” (Zetsuki)

For Zetsuki, he is fighting me without actually knowing my unconventional magic and attack. Only this attack must’ve been unexpected to him, it successfully landed a hit. Zetsuki’s crotch was hit by the invisible air bomb.

Be it ogre or human so long they’re male, everyone knows that it was their vital spot.

“Tsk, wha, what have you! Kkuh, ooooo!” (Zetsuki)

But, despite the attack hit square on, it didn’t get to smash into a pulp. It might be giving him some pain, but it maybe just making him even more mad.

His face was like the yaksha, expressing the very demon of wrath.

But, this is merely a diversion.

“The real attack is here!” (Velt)

I being clad with air current went up. There was something even more powerful than my attack in this place.

I won’t say anything as luxurious as being able to elude him. I also won’t say I can do something as big as able to defend myself against him.

If someone were to play with explosion, then he must be at least be prepared to be burnt.

“Unfortunately I’d be killed if I only marry with one girl. Our standing is different!”

Since my magic’s got more powerful as it got closer, I need to be this much close.

I plunged right in. And thanks to him being faltered for an instant before, I used that opening to the limit!

If I can’t do well even with this chance, I’d be dead!

“Fuwa Fuwa Change of Course! Bend awaaaaaaaay!” (Velt)

What I after was the metal rod. To manipulate it from a super close distance.

“Wha… what!” (Zetsuki)

As he was swinging it down, the metal rod that Zetsuki swung was ignoring his will and instead obeying my will to bend it’s trajectory. Then, the metal rod that was clad with Zetsuki’s colossal amount of energy, exploded at his own abdomen.
