Chapter 65 : The Madness of Demon Starting From Twenty One

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

「NowYoU’VeDoNEIt. I’MGoNnAKiLlYoUiN40SeConDS.」

The killing intent I directed at the Onitako hindered me from listening to its words clearly.

『DOn’TGETCOCKY, YoUShITtYBrAT, YOu’rE No――! ? 』

Not waiting for it to finish, I fired another rounds of bullets into that Onitako’s ears.

「35 seconds left.」

Waiting for this bastard to finish its lines was simply a waste of time. As such, I just kept firing my guns while keeping my distance with that Onitako.

The two magics it had shown me so far were quite powerful. Honestly, the power behind the two magics it had shown were too risky for me to counter thorough middle-ranged combat, however, the risk was even greater should I attempt to engage it in close-quarter combat, considering its magic power.

Though I might be able to solo this Onitako if I used 【Red Ogre】 skill, using that skill would raise the level of difficulty in cooperating with my party members. That aside, currently,

「Mop-san! 」

「Yeah, leave it to me. Tokkun, fire breath! 」

Responding to Mop-san command, the fire winged eagle, Tokkun, breathed fire out from its beak.

『Gu-Muuu』

Tokkun and I were shaving away the HP-bar of that Onitako face to separate it from Lilith. Since cooperating in close combat fight was too difficult, this way would bring more assurance to us.

「Tokkun, Fire Wings! [TL : EH? did I just heard the name of certain super spicy “Fire wings”?] 」

The feathers from Tokkun’s wings transformed into fire arrows. Soon it fired the fire feathers toward the Onitako face. It’s really difficult to counterattack Tokkun who could attack from high altitude. Though it might be possible to hit Tokkun with magic, that moment would become the opening for me to attack. Oopsie, as soon as I pondered about that matter,

『DiIIIEEeeEeE―― FiRePILLaR! 』

The fire pillar rose from the ground landing a direct hit on Tokkun. But, Tokkun immediately adjusted its crumbling balance, and soon made its counter attacked at the Onitako face.

「Mop-san, how’s Tokkun’s condition? 」

「He is fine, Tokkun has fire and heat resistance after all.」

So that’s why that fire pillar only took away 2% of Tokkun HP bar despite being inflicted a direct hit. In that case, let’s keep this pace with Tokkun acting as a decoy, while I kept shooting bullets from that Onitako face blindspots.

『Don’TGeTCoCKY, IRON WALL! 』

RIght after that, the body of the Onitako released a shiny lustre as if it got metal coating. The hell. It’s actually a real metal coating. [TL : Reference to gundam]

Nevertheless,

『NoWI’VESeAlEDYoUrAtTAcK, WhATLeFTIsTHaTAnNOyINGBiRD――』

「Reload【Armor PiercingPT-04】」

I didn’t care.

『Nu-GU-GUOOOO』

Normal bullet usually wouldn’t give any damage to heavily armored enemy, but my armor piercing bullet was different. As its name had shown, it’s a bullet that would pierce armor and it would only display its full potential against those kinds of enemies. Like right now. The bullet’s easily penetrating the solid metal coating of that Onitako face and then, little-by-little, created a red blooming effect.

「20 seconds left.」

『YoUCrETiN!　ThISBoDYWiLLDiEIfIDiE! 』

「Is that all you want to say?」

Pointing the muzzles of my guns at the idiot’s mouth who kept babbling nonsense, I fired my bullets into it.

「I know that you’re just bluffing! 」

Dodging its attack, I kept moving to keep the distance between me and the Onitako face apart while simultaneously shaving off its HP bar.

『B-BlUFfINg! ?　HoWCaNyOubESoSurE!? 』

I replied its question with lead bullet. The muzzles of my guns pointing toward the sky above.

『T-ThereWAs……..』

Its line of sight looked at the ceiling at which I fired at just before. There was the answer we’re looking for.

【UFO-Like-Onitako is a liar. It’s going to release its host as long as you shave its head HP bar.】

『NoWaY, ItWAsSuPpOSeDToBEAnExTReMElYHaRdQueStION. WhErEInThEHeLlIsThEGeNIuSWhOSolVeDThAtPrOBleM.』

Naturally the genius you’re looking for was amongst us. She’s that genius.

Aoi-san was smiling awkwardly to my short glance.

■　□　■　□　■

When we entered this cave, we immediately noticed that there was a question written on the ceiling. Though we noticed that question, I was particularly weak against this type of question.

What was written on there was the things that dealt the greatest mental damage to me up till now, namely the 11th question. it was an extremely hard english sentence. I couldn’t make head or tail about it all, let alone deciphering it.

Despite solving it, god knew how, I still didn’t understand the meaning of that sentence. But if it could help us grant Kanon’s wish even just a little, I-no, we would and had used our greatest effort to decipher that question. Thus why all this time, Mop-san and I were distracting that Onitako while Aoi-san was deciphering that question.

Thankfully, Aoi-san lived up to our expectations. Written on there was a method to save Lilith. Thus, it’s now my turn to live up to their expectations.

But I,

「I’M gonna rip that filthy face from Lilith! 」

『Guh-MUH,GGAAH……… YoUCReTIN, Don’TGeTCoCKY.』

As expected, Armor Piercing bullet was lacking in term of attacking power. But, I’d shaved off 40% from its HP bar. A bit more, just a bit more. If this guy situation was similar to the Onitako from before, it should’ve released its host when its HP bar went below the red zone of 25%, or maybe it would only do it when it was around 10% left. Even if right now it wouldn’t separate itself, it should leave its host as long as I shaved away its HP bar.

『DiE, ExPLoSIoN! 』

「WHAAAT! ? 」

My field of vision was suddenly enveloped by a gigantic blazing fireball.

「――――――！」

I could hear the faint voice of Aoi-san inside of the blazing fireball. As if depending on that voice, my body moved inside the blazing fireball before I fell.

『FUHAHAHA, DIDyOuSeETHAaaaaaT! 』

I who popped out from inside the blazing fireball rolled on the floor so that I wouldn’t get caught up in another explosion.

Crap, it’s critical damage. Rather, what the heck was with that explosion magic? That was foul play for this Onitako to suddenly released an AOE explosion without any sign.

「――N――Ou-kun―― Sou-kun! 」

I could hear Aoi-san’s voice clearly now. Why did you seem to be in such pain, Aoi-san? Who, WHO’S the bastard who made her cry?!

After rolling in such unsightly manner, I looked up at the Oni who stood before me.

――So It’S YOUUUUUUUUUU! [TL : OMAEKAAAAAAAAAAA!, for those who puzzled, it’s a reference from MSGIBO season II last episode]

「ORAAAAAAAAAAAA! 」

『GOAAAAAA! ? 』

I raised my fist overhead, and drove in an uppercut to that big face of the Oni. My fist was enveloped by red aura, and pair of horns grew from my forehead.

「Now that it come to this, I’m gonna lift the ban of close combat to beat the hell out of you. 」

I summoned my katana, Autumn Moon from my item box and pointed it toward this Oni.

「It’s just right since I really wanted to punch that disgusting face with my own fist.」

I also pulled out my Shidarezakura and ran toward that oni with two blade in my hand.

『GuGAH, BeATmEyOUsAY.』

Though it was a bit different from what I had said before, for me punching the face of this bastard or making it be filled with windhole was the same things. It’s just a trivial matter anyway. Rather than that, I had an even more urgent problem right now.

「5 seconds left.」

This oni HP bar only had 20% left. No other choice. I’d have to go all out at once without stopping.

「OOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 」

One of my signature move, a thrusting skill by twisting the upper-half of my body to exhibit the maximum power of my thrust.. I named it――

「Blazing Shears! 」

「――！ ? 」

I drove in the two blazing blades intersected like a cross. I then drew an orbit from there, the weakness of this skill was the fact that its power would be weakened for a moment.

『Fu, YoUDiDn’TMaKEiTInTIME』

Yeah, my blade couldn’t reach the inside of this guy in time. I might be able to obtain a different result if I my reliable partner [shield] was here.

But here, in this《Nagasaki》, I gained a new reliable sword [Partner]. If our defense wasn’t enough, we just needed to increase our offensive power. Right,

「YUKIHIME-SAN! 」

「DEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! 」

Her brandished sword stroke thrice at the oni face.

『GuGAH, BuT, I’MsTiLL』

「HA! 」

A sharp kick that was more splendid than the sword exploded on the oni face.

■　□　■　□　■

『GUAaaaaaaaAAaAAAAAAAAAaaaaAAAAAA’』

Right after that, its HP bar downed to 10%, Onitako let out an anguished scream from its hanging jaw.

『ImPossiBle, ImPosSiBlEEEEEEee.』

Its huge face was also writhing in agony. It’s desperately trying to tear its main body from its host. So far, its action was similar to the oni from before.

『DaAAAAAAaAAAAAAAAaMN.

――HoWCaNitBE.』

「……. EH」

After that, the huge face of Onitako was separated from its host body, then fluttered in the air. However the body that was left behind in that place had suddenly swung the club in her hands toward Yukihime-san.

「OU! ? 」

Yukihime-san was blown away like a golf ball due to that attack and only stopped when her body crashed against the wall.

「――Blue, I’ll leave Yukihime-san to you! 」

「Y-Yeah！ 」

Though I managed to give an appropriate instruction to Aoi-san immediately, I’m currently in an extremely confused state.

――Wait a minute, what in the hell was this, please tell me that this was just a joke. I mean, we managed to separate Lilith-san from that Onitako. And yet, why did she attack us? Why did we fail to release her from that Onitako control?

『NiCeFAcE, TrULyANiCeFAcEEEE. WhAtABEAuTIfULDeSPAiREDFACeeeeeeeeeeeEEEE』

「….. Quite a nice hobby you got there.」

『FuHAaHAahAhAhAHA, YoU’ReWelCOmE. IguESsiT’STiMEToReVeAlMySeCrET.』

When the Onitako said so, Lilith’s finger pointed at the ceiling.

『It’SWrITtEnRiGHt?　WeArELiARs.』

What was this thing lying about now?　The deal in the beginning?　No, I had refused that deal. Nothing else come to me. Then what, what was the thing that I missed?

『I’VetoLDyOUBeFOrEThaTThISBoDYStIlLHaVEAliTtLEBiTLiFeFOrCE. BuT, ILiEdAbOUtThAtToo.』

W-H-A-T?

『I’VeSuCkeDDryThISGiRlLifEForCeLonGtImeAgO.』

Were you…kidding me?! This bastard must be joking. Right?

No, since Lilith’s body that was separated from that Onitako was still under its control, this meant she was already………
