How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 309

343. The Place Where You Should Really Point Your Sword (6)

“So, that’s it…”

Meanwhile, Ernil was just staring blankly at the monster, still unable to compose herself.

“I understand being in shock, but I think it’s time to seriously run away, don’t you think?”

I said, trying to encourage Ernil to think of an escape, almost scolding her.

*Maybe she knows something.*

“Ailen… do you even know what that is? Running won’t solve anything!”

It was as if she was trying to identify it.

“It will find you wherever you are.”

In short, even if you run, it will chase you.

“Could it be that what you were saying about needing to change… is about this thing?”

“…Seeing it in person is a first. Originally, I was planning to grow the World Tree before that thing came. And I was going to replace the result with something that would satisfy it.”

“Replace…”

Was that what Epheleoht said before?

To cause damage equal to or greater than the damage that was supposed to occur, and make it bleed?

I still don’t like it.

“I can’t agree to that kind of plan. And I have no intention of letting that monster run wild.”

“Ailen?”

She looked at me as if she couldn’t believe it.

“…Then, shall we try a little harder?”

Immediately, I teleported into the sky and wildly unleashed sword energy towards the monster, which was still showing hostility towards me.

Papapapapapap!

The monster swatted away the pouring sword energy with its arms and chased after me.

“How much resentment do you have to hold against me after seeing me only once…? No, if you have any complaints, say something!”

I use everything I can.

Let’s somehow find its weakness or something and settle this.

However, I guess I wasn’t the only one racking my brain.

…What?

Has it judged that it’s difficult to purely eliminate me?

I’d be grateful if it gave up.

I don’t particularly want to settle things here and now so desperately.

To be honest, I feel like the odds of winning are barely touching the tip of my hair.

But things can’t go that smoothly.

The monster stared at Sylvester, who had just regained consciousness.

…Huh?

It’s unexpected.

I thought it would be hostile to me, so I didn’t think that arrow would be aimed at someone else.

Moreover… against that guy?

However, Sylvester himself probably doesn’t understand their schedule or anything… no, aside from that, he wouldn’t understand their way of communicating.

He frowned and staggered.

“Ugh… what?”

He was so shaken that he forgot he was facing an enemy, as if something strong had hit his head, and was completely defenseless.

What on earth is happening?

I can’t know.

“…Shut up with the nonsense!”

Sylvester was furious for some reason.

Unlike me, their intentions are probably being conveyed to him in a different way.

Sylvester didn’t hide his anger and swung his sword.

The sharp aura that flew shattered as it collided with the monster’s body.

“Huff… huff… what is that thing… showing me that kind of thing!”

What did he see?

This is the first time I’ve seen him so openly shaken.

And watching his actions.

The color of the pupils in the eyeballs all over the monster’s body changed.

The monster raises its hand.

A small dot appears in the air by the monster’s hand.

The dot gradually swells and becomes larger, from the size of a black ball to something huge.

Like a black hole.

I can’t help but feel danger instinctively.

I can’t let it flow according to that monster’s intentions.

“Get out of the way!”

“…I know.”

Of course, Sylvester also felt a sense of crisis and tried to avoid it right away.

However…

“Ugh?!”

He couldn’t move an inch from that spot.

At first, I thought he was scared.

But soon I realized.

I can’t move.

A black wave-like thing is engulfing Sylvester’s feet… the floor.

It’s what that guy threw a little while ago.

“Oh, shoot?!”

I didn’t properly grasp the intention because I was only paying attention to the monster’s actions.

For some reason, the monster’s eyes seemed to be smirking.

“To resort to such petty tricks!”

I flared up and unleashed my aura.

A blue light swirls around my body, instantly enhancing my physical abilities to the limit.

However…

I opened my eyes in dismay.

Sylvester too.

There was a girl who jumped in before me.

“Sylvester!”

A girl with a slightly smaller height than Sylvester jumped in.

Ernil Alfrens.

She pushed Sylvester away with all her might.

You can’t get out on your own, but is it an exception if someone else interferes?

Sylvester’s body rolled to the side so futilely.

And…

“……”

As if taking his place, Ernil’s body was submerged in the darkness that the monster emitted.

And the message explaining the monster’s condition was constantly being output in front of me.

“What’s so great that you’re laughing!”

My voice burst out to the point where I myself was surprised.

I thought I was far from the type of person who gets angry like this.

But right now, I’m so annoyed that I feel like I’m going crazy.

I don’t know what that monster is, but no matter what kind of being it is, it has no right to ridicule someone’s actions.

That goes for me too.

But my sword futilely cut through the air before it could reach the monster.

The monster is also submerged in darkness.

“Tsk!”

At the same time, messages continue to be output.

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

I can’t leave it like that.

I thought I could stop it, but am I going to let it be ruined by the intervention of that monster?

Epheleoht, that damn final boss, said that.

There is a being that desires evil.

There are monsters that are only allowed to exist if blood flows in the world.

Is that this guy?

“Shut up with the nonsense!”

I don’t like that.

Bleed?

The world I want to live in is not such a terrible world.

Isn’t the sickening reality enough of a world where someone is put forward, ridiculed, destroyed, and thus perpetuated?

“Ailen! What are you going to do!”

Sylvester asks urgently, reading something from my actions.

“This damn hole is still here. Maybe that guy is still down there.”

There’s no time to think.

*If I think calmly, I can ignore that monster and just pay attention to Ernil Alfrens and get through it safely later.*

But I don’t like that.

As always, it’s not my style.

“At least what I’m pursuing is my own happy ending…”

“Ailen?”

“…Sylvester, keep watch nearby. And when Cruise wakes up, explain the situation and have him help with the cleanup.”

There’s no more time to explain.

Unfortunately, that boy won’t be able to go with me.

“I don’t know where you’re crawling into.”

I gritted my teeth and held Killmuris upside down.

I generate a sharp blade of aura.

“Don’t think you can screw people over and run away!”

I slammed the sword down towards the black waves on the floor that were still spread out.

Fzzzzzzzz!

Sparks flew, but I ignored the recoil and forcefully slashed.

Then the floor cracked and a deep darkness unfolded.

“Okay… wait. …I don’t know what your plan is, but I’m going to ruin it all.”

I smiled fiercely and steeled myself as if showing off, then fell into the hole.

* * *

It’s dark.

And I can’t tell the direction.

*Could it be connected to another space?*

I thought it was something similar to a subspace, but it seems to have a different nature.

At least my abilities related to space didn’t react.

Then where is this?

Just in case, I checked the message.

<.......>

<...Reached an area where reception is not possible.>

“Ah, it’s cut off.”

I can’t read it properly.

No reception?

More than that, does this characteristic even have a concept like being out of service?

*Anyway, it’s definitely a place related to that monster.*

The problem is, how do I find him?

I wandered around aimlessly while thinking.

No matter where I go, there is only endless darkness.

*Aren’t I just getting more lost by wandering around aimlessly?*

Should I think about other measures? Just then, I saw something strange.

Something faint was visible below me… at my feet.

What on earth is it?

I focused my gaze downward with caution, and what I saw was a world…

“…The Palzente Principality?”

It’s the scenery of the Palzente Principality, which I had visited once before.

A landscape as if observed from several kilometers above the sky.

And I saw something else next to it.

The Selvas Kingdom… and other regions as well.

There is also land with nothing but pure white snow, and a hellish world where magma flows like the sea.

“…White hell and even the Demon Realm? Could it be that I can observe the entire world from here?”

Thinking that far, I felt dizzy for some reason.

Is it because I saw too many landscapes at once?

Maybe it’s far beyond the scale that an ordinary human can recognize.

*If this place is the monster’s base… then what is that…*

Epheleoht said that.

A being that humans belonging to that world cannot oppose.

Everything depends on the monster’s mood.

*Ah, okay. Let’s find him first.*

Right now, I just want to blow away the monster’s jaw.

But how should I find him?

While trying not to recognize the lower side as much as possible and seriously thinking again.

For some reason, the item I got last time reacted.

“This is?”

That pendant that Epheleoht threw at me as if half-giving it to me.

I haven’t even checked its effect yet because I’ve been so busy?

<.......>

“…Huh? Is it that way?”

It feels like something is talking to me.

It’s not like I heard a sound, but it feels like something is entering my head.

And I instinctively know the direction.

This place is definitely unfamiliar, but I suddenly started to feel a sense of déjà vu as if I had been here before.

And the pressure has also decreased.

So I can be sure of this one thing.

That monster is there.

Entrusting myself to the conviction, I ran towards that place at once.

And I found him.

As expected, Ernil Alfrens is still there.

It doesn’t look like she’s done anything.

“Too bad, but I promised a certain lich about that idiot elf!”

At least I’ll let her live safely!

I entrusted myself to the excitement and charged straight towards the monster.

The monster’s eyes are watching me.

He must be in shock.

“‘How did you get here’?”

That’s definitely the feeling.

“Who cares!”

If you didn’t like it, you should have thoroughly secured your house!

Strangely, I don’t feel any pressure now.

There is no fear like when I faced him ‘outside’ the world.

Is it simply because I have lost my fear? Or is it based on another reason?

I don’t care.

“Let’s settle this!”
