How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 162

162. Hidden Elements are on the Wrong Path (7)

He started acting while I was dumbfounded.

“Your little tricks are starting to bore me.”

Kwaang!

He stomped on the floor with all his might.

The impact was so great that it felt like the entire area was sinking.

“You had good skills for a mere graver robber… but that’s all you were.”

He grabbed the blades of shadow that were pouring down on him.

In addition, the shadows controlled by Fluorite, when materialized for attack, have a smooth surface that is sharper than any ordinary blade.

This is because countless blades are unfolded and rotated within the shadow, invisible to the eye.

Kiiiiiiiiing!

The sparks that flew from his skin for a moment due to friction were definitely not a figment of my imagination.

“Hmph!”

In one breath, he pulled in all the shadows he was holding.

-Nya?!

Fluorite raised his fur as if surprised.

I quickly commanded.

Because at this rate, I’ll be dragged out.

“Deactivate the materialization!”

The shadows scattered like mist and returned to their place.

“And Undine!”

Undine, who had been secretly waiting there, nodded greatly from above.

The five giant water droplets floating above her head spewed out thin streams of water, rushing towards him.

Each stream had enough water pressure to pierce through steel.

This was inspired by the method Russell used before.

Shiiiiiiiiiing!

A noise similar to that of a machine tool I often heard when I worked in a factory rang from his entire body.

The problem is that he still doesn’t have a single scratch.

‘…Seriously, that’s not a sound that should be coming from a human body.’

What’s in front of me is just a lump of iron in the shape of a person.

It would be easier on my mind to think that way.

Another problem is that I’m not the only one gauging the opponent.

“…You’re a bit too nimble to catch with my bare hands.”

His eyes changed slightly.

A look of acknowledgment.

But from my perspective, this is the most annoying pattern.

‘Don’t acknowledge me. Let your guard down thinking I’m a small fry.’

It would be best if you underestimated me and let your guard down.

“It seems you’re not just some graver robber.”

“…No, you can just think of me as a simple graver robber A.”

“But your attitude doesn’t change. You’re a strange one.”

Pellentronel smiled as if he found it enjoyable.

As he put more strength into his body, it seemed like his muscles were swelling twice as much.

…It’s very burdensome.

However, apart from that burdensome feeling, my sense of crisis warns me.

And the novel dwelling in my head also warns me.

Perhaps the next thing in the flow is….

“I didn’t think I’d need to take it out. I see. So this was a miscalculation.”

Is he angry or happy?

…I don’t want to think about either.

“I admit it. It seems I can’t catch you with my bare hands.”

Pellentronel reached out into the air and pretended to pull something out from beyond.

He’s trying to take out an item dwelling in the subspace.

However, the difference between me and him is that his subspace is not created by him using magic, but by the black mages he has under his command casting it from a distance.

Perhaps the black mages waiting far away are now casting magic diligently.

‘…The leader of an organization is annoying for this reason.’

I’m the type to become self-made alone, but he’s a group, so he has plenty of funds and many subordinates.

I’m jealous.

Should I form an organization someday?

‘Put aside the useless thoughts for later, attack! Attack!’

I tried to interfere by throwing a fireball at his hand, but as expected, it just exploded spectacularly and didn’t move him.

Tch, I didn’t expect anything.

“You don’t have the patience to wait for the enemy to take out their weapon. It’s a pity you don’t know the fun of it!”

He shouted something he was mistaken about and took out a weapon from beyond the subspace.

What he took out was an axe without a blade.

However, if you simply think that, you are just ignorant.

‘Ugh! I’m in real trouble?!’

I gasped as soon as I saw it and stepped back.

“That weapon….”

“Oh? You recognize this?”

“…From experience, the more suspicious a weapon looks, the more dangerous it is. And it’s an artifact at first glance, what….”

Moreover, it’s not a mass-produced item, but a top-quality item made in a distant past era.

The characteristic of an axe without a blade matches the description of his favorite weapon in the original work.

“It’s been a while since someone has recognized the true value of this Flare Axe, which I cherish the most. In that case, there’s no need to hide it any further! Kua ha ha ha!”

As he laughed and put strength into the axe he was holding, I felt a sense of massive mana rushing from the blade connection area of the axe.

“Ignition.”

As he shouted the ignition key, the artifact activated.

Mana rapidly combusted, and greenish flames soared.

The flames soon formed the shape of an axe blade, as if filling in the missing blade.

“…Oh… Shit!”

My mouth is reflexively trying to get dirty [swear].

Flare Axe.

As I said just now, it is his most cherished weapon and his most powerful item.

He’s already holding the artifact that he only took out during the final battle with Sylvester to catch Aileon.

Why are you taking out a weapon to catch Sylvester to catch just Aileon?

“I won’t say come! Intruder! From now on, I will face you with all my might!”

In addition, my title has changed from graver robber to intruder.

His roar rang out, and his huge body shook once.

A speed that would even leave afterimages.

It’s hard to keep up with even my dynamic visual acuity.

He begins to show his true skills.

Even if it is relatively slow compared to other masters of a similar level, it is still fast by my standards.

It’s just barely that my dynamic visual acuity can keep up with my eyes.

“Take this!”

He closed the distance in an instant and swung the Flare Axe down with all his might.

Kwaang!

As soon as the green flame blade touched the ground, sparks flew everywhere.

The sparks that flew everywhere exploded and spread out into small pillars of fire.

Everything that touches it is burning and melting.

‘I mustn’t touch that….’

Even a small spark can be fatal.

I carefully moved to the opposite side of him.

However, he seemed to have expected that and swung his arm back greatly.

The vicious blade of green flame heads this way again.

I had no choice but to move again to the ceiling above his crown.

“Undine! Pour it out!”

I pour a large amount of water like a waterfall.

Of course, water cannot damage him.

Chi-iiiiiiiiik!

The poured water evaporated in an instant as soon as it touched the blade of his axe.

“Keep pouring!”

It was truly a terrifying amount of heat.

I even saw a strange sight where the water vapor seemed to catch fire for a moment.

You can assume that the heat that could burn this entire castle in about 10 seconds is condensed in that axe.

As all the water evaporated in an instant, Undine looked at me in embarrassment.

-It’s hot! I don’t like that!

“Okay, pour more! Increase the amount to the maximum!”

I made her pour a large amount of water one last time and sent Undine back.

After that, I immediately applied space control to fix the space around me and create a wall.

The water that Undine poured was at least several tons.

If all of that were to evaporate in an instant due to the heat, what would happen to the expanded water vapor?

Pung!

A sound like hundreds of balloons bursting at once was heard, sweeping away his huge body and bouncing it off.

‘But he probably didn’t take much damage… But at least his posture will be broken.’

According to the laws of physics, if you receive a vapor explosion of this mass, you will inevitably be pushed back.

That’s enough to buy me a moment.

‘Salamander is… no. Now that he’s taken out that axe, fire is meaningless anyway… Even water, which is the opposite, is no longer enough with the current Undine.’

Then I have no choice but to pour out attacks that have nothing to do with the compatibility of attributes.

Gnome.

As I muttered in my heart, the energy of the gnome was summoned and felt.

As I squeeze out and supply spirit energy, countless rocks are created above him.

And activate gravity control.

The rocks, which had gained several times the weight and acceleration, mercilessly crushed him.

“And Sprite!”

Creating a giant lightning spear, I plunged it down as it was, and the lightning hedgehog howled and dropped another giant lightning spear.

The spear with a creepy blue light plunges straight towards him.

He parried it by swinging the axe of fire and spewing out the flames.

‘As expected, that axe is terrifying.’

That man’s characteristics are annoying, but the weapon is several times more troublesome.

The flames of the Flare Axe are not ordinary fire.

Just now, it burned Undine’s water and devoured Sprite’s lightning as if burning it in an instant.

Omnipotent flame.

That axe was made by borrowing the power of the Spirit King.

Because the King of Fire Spirits made it himself.

It is a top-quality artifact that even an ordinary spiritist can’t help but tremble if they recognize its true value.

It has never been revealed how he obtained it, but it is definitely the Spirit King’s artifact in the setting.

That’s why it’s a headache.

If it were just a hot fire, there would be plenty of countermeasures.

But that flame burns everything.

Because the concept of burning everything is embedded in the power of the Spirit King.

Even if a spark moves, the fire will spread in an instant and you will taste the pain.

Even if you get water, it catches fire.

‘That’s quite a headache.’

Especially because of the characteristics of my abilities, it is very difficult to deal with that axe.

Even if I try to respond by unfolding a wealth of spiritism, it’s difficult because it burns everything.

If it were Sylvester’s magic sword, I could resist it a little, but I don’t have such a weapon right now.

‘That doesn’t suit me….’

Maybe it’s a type of weapon that properly stabs my weaknesses.

It’s strange… Usually, people in my position should be wielding weapons that stab the weaknesses of such villains, right?

Why is the villain wielding a weapon that stabs my weaknesses?

‘I have to try to face it somehow.’

I pull out and pour out a few more lightning bolts.

It may be like pissing on a sore foot [a futile effort].

That’s enough.

“Kua ha ha ha ha! Is there nothing else! You can show me as much as you want! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a fight that takes strength!”

He seems to be completely excited because he took out a weapon to show off after a long time.

‘Thanks to you, your feet are weak.’

“…Oh, dear.”

He clicked his tongue as he received my fierce attack.

He must have realized what I was aiming for now.

Kwajik.

The footing collapsed, and the stairs that could no longer withstand it collapsed.

“Yes! You’re strong! But the surroundings aren’t strong either, right?”

This place was also built by the demons, so it held up well, but it seems it couldn’t handle our battle.

Of course, the floor will collapse when it reaches its limit.

“Hmph! This is nothing!”

He frowned as if something had hit his head as he tried to step on the debris and jump.

He hit the space-fixed wall I had set up.

He can break it if he swings his weapon with all his might, but now he’s trying to jump over the collapsing floor.

His posture is bad, so he can’t put strength into it.

He must have been completely caught off guard.

The huge old man fell to the lower floor.

‘Well… it won’t do much damage.’

There’s no way that monster will die just because it fell a little.

I don’t expect an easy result.

‘Just buy some more time.’

Just buying time.

From the beginning, my purpose is only that.

Buy 1 minute, no, even 1 second more.

So that he doesn’t do anything useless.

If that happens….

“Kua ha ha ha ha! I showed quite an undignified figure!”

As expected, Pellentronel soon jumped up.

A pillar of green fire soared, and he jumped out from the middle and landed on the stairs where I was again.

He’s still fine.
