Volume 2 - CH 444

10-30. Even if my stab was missed

The restraints were released, and the voice of heaven collapsed.

With a sigh, the voice of the earth lifted him up.

“Why are you so beaten up?”

“Thanks to the Akkis… Two of them came…”

“Man, that was unfortunate.”

As familiar names came up, Tokoro (Vo Earth) laughed.

He felt sick, not understanding what was funny, but since he was being helped, he couldn’t say anything.

Anyway, he had to find a safe place to hide and recover even a little.

It wouldn’t be too late to start running his mouth at that time.

For Tokoro as well, if he disappeared today, their power would greatly diminish, so she wanted to let him rest as soon as possible.

He was relieved that she had come back just in case.

Without Asa (Vo Heaven), they were as fragile as normal monsters and would easily be defeated.

“…Glad that you came back…”

“Huh? That was nothing. It just took care of things surprisingly quickly. I thought it would take longer since it seemed like the most troublesome one.”

“Which devil did you kill?”

“Lurimkos.”

Lurimkos, who possessed the ability to destroy everything.

She was very easy to defeat.

Just moved the ground and swallowed her, mixing her together in the underground like a washing machine.

Lurimkos has a troublesome ability, but it wasn’t a threat as long as it was outside her range.

By now, she would probably be scattered underground.

When Asa heard that, he laughed triumphantly when he knew the most troublesome person to face was defeated easily.

He thought that they might not win unless he put limitations on her ability, but it seemed to have been a good match for Tokoro’s abilities.

“Well done.”

“You’re welcome. Well then… let’s escape.”

“Please do…”

He put strength into his legs.

He tried to jump and fly into the sky, but his body tilted abruptly.

When he looked down wondering what was happening, he saw a viscous liquid entwined around his legs.

It extended from the ground and prevented his escape.

He tried to put strength into his legs, but it didn’t break.

Thinking it was a troublesome ability, he searched for the spellcaster.

He quickly found them.

“Ugh… cough… blergh…”

Iubora, who managed to form only the upper body into a humanoid shape, was manipulating the viscous liquid and reaching out towards him.

Buried in the ground and suffering great damage, Asa was able to endure it thanks to his body.

However, Asa had no more strength left to counterattack.

The main body is a viscous body, but it is not immortal.

If the liquid is subjected to an impact, it will cause damage.

Being crushed in the ground was a blow, and now it was a struggle just to maintain his consciousness. However, Iubora, under an undying will, mustered the last of his strength to capture the voice of the earth.

He won’t let them escape until reinforcements arrive.

Borrowing the power of countless stone tablets stored within its body, it draws out magical energy.

Using this comes with the cost of later having its magical energy collected, but there is no time to worry about such a cost now.

Long story short, he persists in clinging to his attack on them.

“I won’t… let you… escape!!”

“You’re persistent. But as long as you’re on the ground, you can’t defeat me.”

The voice of the earth wagged her finger.

Then the ground swelled, and the foothold crumbled.

In an instant, a massive trench appeared, and Iubora fell into it.

The voice of the earth had dug out the ground that Iubora was clinging to and created a trench in the process.

Gritting his teeth, he glared at the voice of the earth, thinking how clever it was. There was no way to escape like this. The ground that had been adhered to by the restraining liquid was cleanly dug out as well.

“Damn it!!”

With a swift motion, he raised its hands and transformed his claws into walls.

With a scraping sound, he managed to stop his fall and come to a halt somehow.

But he couldn’t climb any higher than this.

Most of his strength had been used for restraining.

Even if he used the magical energy of the remaining stone tablets, he wouldn’t be able to escape from this trench.

“Tch.”

A futile effort.

As if expressing that, he snorted and then the voice of the earth wagged her finger once again.

The trench closed.

In a matter of seconds, he would be completely sealed, and this time he would surely die.

He begins to gather the magical energy around him.

With a deep sense of regret and gritted teeth, he pounded the wall.

“Sorry…!! Abyss…!!”

Snap.

The closure of the trench stopped.

Looking up, it wondered if the voice of the earth had changed its mind and was trying to capture him alive.

However, the voice of the earth had a surprised expression as she looked around.

It didn’t seem like she had changed her mind.

Then why did she stop?

The reason became clear with the next voice that reached his ears.

” 【 Land God!!]  Dacia!! Inside the trench!!”

“Got it!! Ouren!! Take this!!”

“No need to remind me!! 【 Ten- wari】 !!”

Gripping the hilt with all his might, a reckless strike driven by raw strength and no finesse directly hit the voice of the earth.

But the voice of the earth continued to block the Tenwari with her hand.

There seemed to be some damage, but this single strike wouldn’t be enough to finish her off.

“Nhhhhhh!!”

“…Still standing, huh?”

They pushed on.

It was clear that the Tenwari could affect the voice of the earth.

If that was the case, it was time to follow up with the next move.

“Kage Orochi… 【Tenwari】<Thrust>!!”

Wham!!

The moment he unsheathed KageOrochi, he immediately transitioned into a thrusting technique.

The sharp slash once again attacked the voice of the earth, but this time it was repelled.

However, he succeeded in blowing away everything below the ankle.

Perhaps due to the imbalance, he couldn’t perform Tenwari by using Hakuryuzen for a moment.

She twisted her body to evade, but in doing so, her right arm was blown away.

Both the leg and the arm quickly regenerated… but after witnessing this series of attacks, he understood that she could still “fight.”

He quickly readjusted their stance, sheathed Kage Orochi, and directed the tip of Hakuryuzen towards the voice of the earth.

“I’ll definitely kill you.”

“…Hey, Asa. You’re the one who raised him like this.”

“It’s beyond my control…”

As he lowered their posture once again and assumed the perfect stance, the voice of the earth also turned its attention towards him.
