Volume 5 - CH 72

Act 5-72: The Last Trump Card

The city turned into hell on earth.

The city that was built by us turned into a scorching hell, and the corpses of monsters were littering the street. Many of them were my acquaintances.

「DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT ALL!!」

I was naive. Or rather, I was too naive. Among the four great demon king, Aldebaran was infamous for his cruelty. I should never underestimate his cruelty. I of all people… Should’ve expected this result.

I saw the figure of three demons singing an eerie song at rapid pace while dancing a strange dance far ahead of me.

『Unbearable hunger♬

It’s the reflection of our mind♪

Even this pig is sumptuous dish♬

It wet my appetite even in half-roasted state ♪」

One of them held something that looked right-hand as his body wriggled in a euphoric manner.

『You are overeating♬ You’ll get indigestion later♬』

The second person by the side chewed on what looked like the remains of a hand while doing the same strange dance.

『Worry not♪ For we have iron stomach ♬

That will be our noisy demon king army meal♩』

My line of sight froze immediately as my gaze landed on the red-haired man with all-back hairdo in the middle biting off something with both hands.

And then, my field of vision turned red due to anger, when I realized that the thing the man chewed at was the head of auntie butcher from the orc tribe.

「YOU MOTHER FU*CKER!」

In unsheathed my enchanted flame sword and closed in immediately toward the red-haired man in the middle, thrusting the tip of my sword toward his eyebrows.

『Too ba~d♪ It’s futi~le!』

My enchanted sword was grabbed by his bare hand.

「Oh cra――」

A chill ran into my spine, I released my sword immediately, trying to step back and yet, a hand moved faster and grabbed my head.

『Food is comi~ng♩ Let’s dig i~n♪』

The mouth of the red-haired man split like that of a fish.

（Dammit, this isn’t enough!）

Even with the image of my sword teacher, I couldn’t hope to match this guy. It seems I had no choice but to mimic the strongest existence to win against him.

But, the backlash from using that would render me immobile for a few days. What if I still couldn’t defeat this guy even after using that?

「GUH!」

Having no other way but to see the approaching fish head, I draw the image of mediocre black-haired youth, the strongest in my mind with 『Imitation』. This will be the third time I use this form. I was really surprised as soon as I transformed into the strongest existence.

I kicked the head of the guy on the right. That simple kick blew the entire upper-half of that guy’s body, turning him into mince meat along with his entrails.

It didn’t even take a moment for me to recover from my shock and unleashed a punch on the face of the demon race on the left, blasting his head to small pieces. The body that lost its head flew backward, and crashed into the building behind him, destroying the building in the process.

The last one who tried to escape became the target for my 【Flame Bullet】. The moment the first bullet hit the target, I drove my punch into his guts, and fired consecutive 【Flame Bullet】 from the palm of my hand.

Since I was forced to use my trump card, the battle from this point on would become a race against time.

According to the information from the ex-prisoner of the demon race, The red-haired man with pony hair from before was one of Aldebaran’s close-aids, Rerad. He had rather peculiar sleepy eyes and donned a navy blue uniform.

Since that was the case, the other close aide of demon king Aldebaran, Dharma, should be nearby. I had to at least kill the other two before the effect ran out.

I picked up my enchanted sword and ran at full speed to find both Dharma and demon king Aldebaran as soon as possible.
