How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 308

“Huh?”

So, this message is being sent by that monster?

Unusually plain for a monster.

For a moment, an image of someone fiddling with a cell phone in a corner of the subway flashed through my mind.

But I can’t laugh.

“Incorrect?”

Revert… incorrect…

It’s coming down.

It moves its hand again.

Then, a massive amount of pure white lightning strikes towards us.

“Dodge!”

Needless to say, we immediately avoid the lightning.

Any object caught in that pure white light, regardless of its material, was charred black and turned to ash.

“That’s an absurd amount of power.”

“Magic? Or dark magic? Which is it?”

“I’m not sure…”

Cruse unusually trailed off, as if she lacked confidence.

She can’t judge because she doesn’t feel anything.

“Wait! Where is it now?!”

I hadn’t taken my eyes off it, but it had disappeared after the lightning struck.

Did it go back?

That’s impossible.

It wouldn’t just glare and disappear.

Above all, the ominous feeling hasn’t disappeared yet.

“Behind you! It’s behind you!”

I shouted urgently, and Cruse quickly turned around.

At some point, it had reached behind Cruse.

Did it teleport?

Cruse tried to move quickly, but it was one step faster.

“Kyaa!”

With a scream, she was knocked away.

It seemed like a simple push, but it neutralized her layered defensive magic in one blow.

She fell away and showed no signs of movement.

She doesn’t seem to be dead… but she probably won’t be able to get up anytime soon.

“…You bastard!”

There’s no time to observe.

I urgently attacked with spirit magic, but…

My attack was scattered powerlessly just by meeting its eyes.

And it disappears again.

When it reappeared, it was in front of Elles.

“How?! I can’t feel any presence, anything at all!”

She was surprised and reflexively swung her sword, but it was useless as well.

The sword was deflected in vain just by touching it.

And likewise, it doesn’t move at all.

It subdues Elles with one blow as well.

As if flaunting an absolute difference, it slowly turns its body and flashes its eyes.

And the next place it headed…

“…Me?”

No, ignoring me, the person it focused on was.

Sylvester.

It moves right in front of him, who is already aiming his sword and being wary.

To the guy preparing for an attack, that monster…

<.......>

It doesn’t do anything.

It just stares, as if observing something quietly.

“What are you doing!”

Sylvester dared to attack first, but.

He was knocked away just by the monster blinking its eyes.

“Kugh!”

“…Sylvester!”

Ernil urgently called him, but there’s no way he’d respond.

I can’t even guess how it did it.

And finally.

Apparently, Ernil Alfrens has something different in mind than the other people.

This isn’t good.

In short, it’s a silencing.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t like this situation.

And it intends to overturn it with force because it thinks it won’t go its way.

‘…Whether it works or not!’

If that’s what it wants.

I have to stop it.

‘If that guy is related to those strange men who have appeared so far…’

My actions might work.

I grabbed Killmuris and used Transfer [a type of teleportation magic] to appear as if blocking Ernil, then swung my sword at the guy who frowned at my existence.

First, I have to separate it from Ernil.

My sword energy touched its body, and it reached out and tried to deflect it as if trying to shake it off.

Zzzt!

Violent flames erupted, and the guy staggered back a few steps.

It’s like reacting as if you accidentally grabbed something hot and got burned.

I think I’ve gotten its attention for now…

“Now what do I do…”

The monsters that have appeared so far disappeared when I waved them around like this.

It only stopped at being slightly surprised.

It means the level is different.

Moreover…

For a moment, I felt something being read.

A feeling of eye contact with something in my head, not this body.

…Has this message ever told me to run away like this before?

No, before that, hindering the development of mankind… what nonsense is that?

“Looking at it… it’s not just some random person…”

It would be nice if we could communicate, but it seems that it is not an entity with whom language can be established.

I don’t know how this guy is interfering with this message, but this is not the situation to worry about it.

First, I have to hold on.

“…It’s coming.”

I opened my eyes wide and watched, but the guy’s figure disappeared again.

Let’s not bother trying to understand the identity of the means of transportation.

Let’s think of it as similar to Transfer.

Then the point where it will reappear is…

“It’s obvious!”

Using Transfer, I recklessly create distance.

As expected, the guy is behind where I was a moment ago.

But it disappears again.

And soon reappears in front of me.

It reappears as if the sense of perspective is ignored, even though my eyes are open and the flow is cut off.

It’s attacking.

‘Defense…’

I summon a gnome [a type of earth spirit] and create a stone wall next to me.

Then, using Atom Metamorphosis [a spell to change the structure of matter], I interfere with the structure of the stone with magic to increase its strength.

Kwaang!

The moment the guy’s fist touched it, the wall cracked and collapsed.

But the impact doesn’t reach me.

‘The means I have are somewhat effective.’

It’s similar to dealing with those branch-like monsters.

‘…But.’

That’s the previous problem.

‘Just responding is overwhelming! The total amount of power is too different!’

While sweating, the guy’s attack poured down relentlessly.

A pure white wind blows from around the monster.

It’s not a metaphor.

The wind is really pure white.

Something pure white, like scribbles, swirls wildly and then pours down on me as a sharp storm.

“Tch…”

I gripped Killmuris tightly and immediately released its characteristics to activate its ultimate skill.

The condensed sword energy is released and begins to rage.

I collide and respond with the sword energy that unleashes a wide range of power.

But barely not being pushed back is all I can do.

I can’t back down.

If I get scared here and back down, I’ll only be driven into a corner.

‘…Then.’

I stretch one hand back to create a magic crystal shield, and pieces of solidified mana gather to temporarily form a shield-shaped object.

There’s no way I can defend against that guy’s attack even once with this anyway.

Then.

“Take this!”

I roughly threw the shield sideways.

The object that flew through the air as if sliding changes direction and chases after the guy.

The effect of Reversal Target [a spell that redirects an object’s trajectory].

Of course, it won’t work.

But attention was drawn.

The guy was completely distracted.

‘At least that guy… is definitely careless…’

It has great power, but it doesn’t have the meticulousness unique to the strong.

It can’t fight.

The problem is that it’s threatening because it’s pressing down with an unidentified power.

“Then.”

I immediately activate Yeongbo [a movement technique].

I move smoothly to the back of the guy, and then cover Killmuris with a gravity field and lift it up.

“Eat this and fly away!”

The moment the sword covered in the gravity field touches the guy’s chin, the guy soars upwards in reaction to the power.

“Bombard it non-stop!”

I immediately summon the spirits and fire bombardments.

The power of numerous attributes pours down, causing a huge explosion in the sky.

“…Tch.”

But there’s no need to check the results.

The sky is still pure white and the ominous premonition doesn’t disappear.

Moreover…

As expected, it’s fine.

To make an analogy, it’s like being surprised by a puppy biting nearby.

Does that mean I can’t win at this point, no matter what it is?
