The Seven Calamities (3)

All the bastards who were going to show up have shown up.

“It’s been a while, everyone.”

Only blurry silhouettes are visible in the thick smoke of ash.

But this is enough for now. I know where they all are. Let’s recover for a moment.

Thuk!

I popped the cap off the medicine bottle I took out of the subspace.

I poured the contents of the medicine over my shoulder, which had been cut off entirely.

The medicine flowed down my shoulder.

The blue medicine seeped into my shoulder, and a bizarre sound was heard.

Crackle! Crackle!

It sounds like bones and joints breaking or snapping.

But this sound was the sound of bones and muscles growing.

Instantly, bones and muscles were created in the empty right arm. Blood vessels and skin began to cover the body, which looked like an anatomical model.

“I knew I’d end up using it like this.”

The identity of the medicine was an injectable prosthetic arm that I had created.

It was a medicine that only people with physical defects or damaged bodies could use. It was one of my masterpieces that creates the body in the form that blood vessels and cells remember by injecting the medicine into the body.

‘Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to use a needle to insert it deep into the body.’

But now that my arm was torn off and the blood vessels and flesh inside were visible, pouring the medicine onto the affected area was enough to have a sufficient effect.

‘It’s a little disappointing that the reaction is a bit slow.’

When I swung my arm once, the reaction was subtly slow.

It’s not a huge difference.

However, as a swordsman, this difference is more significant than you might think. Moreover, this fight is so important that I have to fight with even momentary reflexes in mind.

I adjusted the sensation in my arm.

I set the sensation in my right arm to be slightly more sensitive and waited for the moment when the ashes cleared. The moment the ashes that had risen so high began to sink to the ground.

Whooooooong!

A wind blew.

A wind approaching a typhoon blew behind me.

Sensing the danger, I plunged my sword deep into the ground.

Holding the sword with my right hand and blocking my eyes and mouth from the ashes blowing in the wind with my left hand, I watched the situation. How many seconds had passed?

It was around the time when the ashes were all blown away into the sky on the wind.

Whooong!

Something cut through the wind and cast a shadow over my head.

Something is aiming at me from the sky. As soon as I made that judgment, I pointed my sword upwards instead of dodging.

A horizontal slash that seemed to cut the sky in half at any moment.

Swish!

What was aiming at me was cut and fell to the ground.

Lightly moving my feet to avoid it, what I saw was the attack of the giant tree root, the Divine Tree. And what was laid under my feet, avoiding the attack of the Divine Tree, was.

“No way……!”

Bang!

A sound that sounded like a small explosion.

However, the aftermath was by no means small.

The entire ground collapses.

The Divine Tree, which had deeply rooted itself in the land, immediately removed its roots that were firmly supporting the ground in response to my movements. In other words, I was now like being at the top of a high-rise building without pillars.

If it were a normal person, they would have screamed, resigned to death.

Ta-da-dak!

I stepped on the falling rocks one by one and jumped high into the air.

What was waiting for me in the air was a giant lightning spear and a high-pressure poison cannon. Golden lightning was trying to pierce me accurately. No matter how much lightning is light, I can outrun even the speed of light for a while.

However.

‘I must defend.’

I know.

That lightning is not an attack that can be avoided.

A damn attack that is blessed with absolute accuracy. You can defend against it, but you can’t avoid it. Having been burned badly before, I swung my sword to create an attack of the same scale as the lightning with wind pressure.

─────!

The lightning and sword wind collide and cancel each other out.

If we continue like this, both will disappear. However, I have no choice but to avoid the high-pressure poison cannon that is aiming directly above my head.

Thuk!

I stretched my foot forward.

At the same time, the figure disappears like a shadow.

The next place I appeared was at the feet of the one who spewed the poison. It was under the feet of the beast that the Courtesan rides. The beast was spraying purple poison from its mouth.

Its power was so strong.

The ground was cracking like a cracker with just pure water pressure. The cracked ground began to melt and disappear due to the acidity of the poison. That attack is not an attack that must hit like lightning, but it is a little annoying.

‘It will be difficult to set foot on the ground if it is contaminated with that poison.’

The poison itself is fine.

It’s not for nothing that I raised my poison resistance so much.

However, the water pressure that lightly cracks the ground is a bit threatening. No matter how much I push my body to the limit with magic power to increase my strength and speed, my durability does not increase that much. At best, it is best to go up three levels.

Therefore, what I have to do now is.

Kung!

I stepped on the ground and jumped high.

In my vision, which jumped higher than a high-rise apartment in one jump, all seven calamities come into view at a glance. Everyone is familiar. Some calamities have changed slightly, such as the Divine Tree, which is only a stump, or the Courtesan who was riding on the back of the beast, has disappeared.

‘The aura and the emanating power are the same.’

The only one that is different is Adam. No, it’s just the system alone.

This means that the other calamities, except for him, can be hunted in the way I know.

First of all.

“Shall we catch the beast first?”

Toward me, who jumped into the air.

Pooooooo!

The beast spewed poison.

The beast seemed momentarily surprised that I had appeared right in front of its nose.

However, the snake-like mouth spewed out thick poison, and the intense acidity tried to melt me. But poison doesn’t work on me. Even if it can melt my clothes and sword with poison.

Ssaeeng!

I just have to cut it all with my sword.

‘Tamamo. Prepare one attack spell.’

─What kind of attack?

‘Freezing. Please make it extremely cold.’

The beast that was spewing poison was startled.

I was moving very quickly, continuing to swing my sword in front of my nose so that the poison would not touch my body. Well, that level is possible for a superhuman. However, the fact that the sword that cuts through the poison several times did not melt gave him a great shock.

The Courtesan’s beast.

The poison it spews is the purest poison in the world.

It is the purest and most powerful poison, different from the human world’s poison that is synthesized from other poisons. It is a deadly poison that can easily melt steel and even conceptual things processed with thought like sword energy.

It was a power that was not ashamed of the name of the most powerful poison in the world.

However, I did not replace the sword and only blew away all the beast’s poison with one sword. Clearly, I am also imbuing sword energy into the sword.

‘Of course.’

No matter how transcendent the sword energy and the Archmage’s defense magic are.

It is meaningless in front of that poison. Defense is meaningless in front of a poison that melts everything. So, we need to think differently here.

‘If I imbue disposable sword energy, that’s all I need to do.’

The most powerful poison in the world?

Does it melt even sword energy processed with thought?

Then, I just need to cut through the poison with a sword imbued with sword energy, and then unfold new sword energy on the sword that has not touched the poison to cut through the next poison.

If I repeat this indefinitely, I can naturally reach the beast’s neck.

─Crazy. Is that possible? It’s not like sword energy is purified water that comes out immediately when you press it.

‘You can train.’

I don’t know if there is anyone other than me who can do this, but anyway, you can do it. At the end of my sword, which unfolded sword energy hundreds of times.

Sreung.

The beast’s scales touch.

The distance where the sword will touch soon.

The reptile-like body reflecting on the sword sparkles.

“To allow me this close.”

I put strength in my lower body and lowered my posture.

I swing my sword greatly and cut it cleanly at once.

“You’re asking me to cut you, right?”

I drew my sword with the determination to destroy the sword that would not corrode even if it touched the beast’s poison. A simple one sword. (一劍) [Ichi Ken – One Sword Technique].

The beast’s neck and body are separated by that attack.

Right then.

“Tamamo!”

─I know!

The temperature behind me dropped by tens of degrees in an instant.

The coldness, which was so cold that I suspected it was colder than absolute zero, stretched out like a beam towards the front.

The place where the beam of cold touched was the beast’s severed neck.

Immediately after cutting off the neck with a sword. The area around the neck, which had begun to bubble, was calmed with extreme cold, and the beast’s body was frozen whole.

─Is this enough?

‘Yeah. The second calamity is over with this.’

Tamamo said to my words with a nuance that was different from what she had thought.

─I thought it would be more difficult.

‘It’s true that it’s difficult. However, I know all of its weaknesses and attack methods, so I didn’t take any damage.’

In the case of the calamity 「Babylonian Courtesan」, the power of the rider on top of the beast is overwhelmingly threatening than the beast. Of course, her beast is threatening enough on its own, but the Courtesan’s unconventional attacks of the beast that she directly operates are so powerful that they are on a completely different level from what we have experienced now.

So.

‘Don’t underestimate them just because I caught him easily.’

Unlike the Divine Tree, which is only a stump.

The other calamities are in very complete condition.

Of course, it is true that I caught one of the seven, so I can breathe a little easier. Now, the next one to kill is… yeah, the fourth calamity would be good.

That lightning-flinging bastard.

I can’t stand it since a while ago.

The moment I was about to run straight at him while watching him.

Clap clap clap!

A clapping sound is heard.

When I turned my gaze to the sound, which was completely opposite to the tension that had arisen as I lightly killed one of the calamities. There, the system, with a pure white snake around his neck like a muffler, was smiling at me.

A smile as vile as a snake.

He said with a malicious mouth.

“Look around you.”

“What?”

What is he talking about?

My gaze swept around in an instant.

All the information in the area enters my head through my eyes.

The High Elf Luna, who was closest to me, was hiding in the stump of the Divine Tree, no matter when she woke up. While taking energy from the world that stretched its roots beyond the roots, the Divine Tree was diligently aiming for my feet with its roots to kill me.

‘Luna hid herself.’

Whether she still had maternal love in that state, she hid Luna in a hole in the tree rings so that she would not become a target for other calamities.

‘Most of the alliance members died in the fight with the riders, and the Black Knight and the Blue Knight within the calamity’s range became like people trampled by elephants.’

The Black Knight and the Blue Knight were horribly broken.

As the two knights who guarded the Divine Tree, a corner of the calamity, they each had the power to symbolize famine and death.

Their end was more futile than I thought.

What’s the point of symbolizing famine or death?

‘From the beginning, the calamities never aimed for the Black Knight and the Blue Knight.’

The reason they died was because they were swept away by the powerful blow that the calamity flew. It’s like a shrimp’s back being broken in a whale fight.

The armor protecting the Black Knight was horribly crushed even by the aftermath of an attack without any malice. Half of the Blue Knight’s armor was blown away by the calamity’s quick movements that avoided my attack.

The two, whose armor and spirit core were broken absurdly, met their end like that. It was a very funny death. But surely he’s not talking about these two.

“Ah, I’m not talking about the elf who hid herself and the two metal lumps that were trampled miserably. After all, those two won’t give you any special feelings.”

“…….”

I didn’t answer.

It is clear that such a guy’s words are not worth listening to.

But.

“The people around me that I’m talking about are your acquaintances.”

I was slightly shaken by those words just now.

“I wonder what happened to them?”
