CH 6.04

The floor I cut off in a circular shape descended slowly like a floating pedestal in a sci-fi movie or video games.

I could have busted through multiple levels at once but it’s not my intention to get people into trouble.

The floor below us was at least two-story high.

On the left and right of the long passageways, there are pods big enough to hold a big adult.

The number of pods must be more than 50.

The pods are filled with murky liquid and even when we approached them, we could not see much inside.

If this was a certain zombie game, the pods would break open and monsters would come out from inside.

As expected, it is very unlikely to be attacked by a monster like a variant in an anti variant organization—

Just as I was thinking about that, one of the pods nearby cracked open.

A muscular man over two meters tall emerger from inside.

And he has a horn on his head.

Is he an ogre….or maybe an oni!

Judging from the amount of magic power emanating from him, I’d say he was a Japanese mythology version of a dark Valkyrie.

He must have been captured and locked up.

From the looks of it, there’s no major physical defects.

I thought they were just a bunch of small fries but I guess the organization has some skilled personnel too.

The self proclaimed elites who we fought from the floor above must be frogs in a well.

「Lesser oni!? Why is it inside the headquarters!?」

Futaba seems to be not informed about it.

Although they address her as “sama”, they still treated her as nothing but a mere combatant.

The fact that she doesn’t know about this means that there is a reason they are hiding it.

Perhaps this isn’t just a research material.

In addition, a lesser oni being awakened just as we came here should be intentional.

They might be trying to make me feel a little pain.

Looking at it closely, there is a collar-like object attached to this oni from which you can feel faint magic power.

Is it being controlled by that?

Or perhaps some kind of emergency response?

Considering the fact that this thing is immune to physical attack, it should be a very elaborate item.

Let’s leave the discussion here and just beat this up.

I didn’t come here to put on a battle show.

As I approach the lesser oni with my sword carelessly,

「Oniichan, don’t! Let’s run away togethe—」

Before Futaba could finish what she was saying, my sword had cut off the head of the oni and then sliced its entire body into pieces.

Before the pieces of flesh could touch the ground, I burned them all up with fire.

I also didn’t forget to protect the surrounding with a magic wall in order to prevent flames from spreading to the building.

「Eh…….? Instantly……?」

「Sorry to burst your bubble but the next one is coming.」

I jumped back next to Futaba.

At that moment, all of the more than 50 pods shattered and lesser onis came out of them.

-0-

You’re going to use all of them!

The chief seemed to be very upset.

I wonder if he realizes that if I die, he won’t be able to study a singularity.

-0-

Nevertheless, I must say that if you think you can put even a scratch on me with this level of force, you’re not good at judging someone’s strength.
