Episode 63 – The Immortal King and The Champion (part 2)

“Screeeeeech…”

The unpleasant sound of a nail scratching a blackboard resounded around us.
It appears that this is how the Immortal King communicates.

“It’s saying ‘Hmm, it seems like some foolish humans have arrived’.”

Maple translated for us, as it made more sounds.

“Scr, screech screech screech?”

“That means ‘Oh, is that the sea serpent who came to this village before?’ Yup.
Sorry, but we’re here to subjugate you.”

“Screech.
Screech, screech.”

“It said ‘Very well.
If you’re threatening my kingdom, take me on in a fight’.”

Apparently, this abandoned village was the Immortal King’s kingdom.

What are you, a naked emperor…? This place is barren. 

Also, it was getting more and more troublesome to have Maple translate for us every time.
Maybe I should ask Sakura to create some translation magic…

“Screech, screech screech!”

“That’s ‘Forward, my little servants!’”

At its command, the zombies who were previously ignoring us came rushing towards us.

“I’ll leave it to you, Sara.
We’ll deal with any runaways.”

“Got it.
I’ll try my best to keep them contained.”

Sara went ahead, raising her voice as she brandished her legendary class weapon, the Guardian’s Greatsword.

“Argh!”

Since zombies weren’t capable of thought, they didn’t even try to avoid her attacks. 

With a single slash of Sara’s sword, 10 zombies were instantly reduced to dust.

Although their bodies were already rotting and falling apart, it was undeniably also the case that Sara was simply really strong.

And while zombies could still move, even after getting split into two, there wasn’t anything they could do after getting pulverised.

“Urgh!”

With each slash of her sword, several more zombies got destroyed.
Sara headed straight for the Immortal King. 

“Screeeech, screech.
Screeech.”

“It’s ‘Mm, you’re surprisingly capable.
Looks like I’ll have to fight as well’.”

While the Immortal King was just floating without doing anything until now, its robe opened as it said those words, and it started to move.
Flying past Sara, it headed in our direction. 

“Screech screech screech, screech screech screech? Screeech, schreech, screech.”

“It’s saying ‘You’re all hiding behind her because you’re weaker, right? It’ll be good if I can make you my hostages, but even if I don’t, it only makes sense to aim for the weaker ones first in order to preserve my strength.’ I think we should show it mercy.”

“What an idiot…”

“It sure made the worst possible choice”

“Ugly〜”

The monster girls (including Dora) all sent the Immortal King a pitying look.
Its move would have been the right one to make under normal circumstances.
After all, there’s no way that someone would come here just to test their strength, right? And, you wouldn’t think that the ones standing behind them were the real monsters, right? Just saying it makes me feel sad for it.

“Sorry! I let it get past me!”

“Don’t worry about it.
I’ll send it right back.”

Sara, who continued trampling on zombies, said apologetically.

The Immortal King tried to use its magic mid-air.

It was “Demon’s Blade”, a level 6 spell.
Plus, it had the skill at level 8, which allowed one to use magic spells of up to that level without chanting.

The darkness formed into a huge sword that came slashing down upon us… until I used Nosferatu to fly into the sky, and split it in two.

My “Spirit Sword – Tangerine” has the effect of cutting through magic, so the “Demon’s Blade” got easily dispersed.

“Screech?”

“That’s ‘What?’”

“Go fight with Sara over there!”

The Immortal King made an astonished noise as I kicked it away, sending it flying back to its original position.

It crashed to the ground, bouncing several times and knocking down a couple more zombies on its way. 

While it wasn’t moving, it was fine, since it wasn’t dead, judging from its status.
I was nice enough to leave it with about half of its HP. 

“My turn then…”

Sara let out a slightly sad voice, but it was her fault for letting the Immortal King get past her in the first place.
I did tell her that we’ll deal with the ones that try to escape… Even if it was actually the boss itself.

“It hasn’t been defeated just yet.”

“Ah, right!”

The slightly shaken Immortal King floated unsteadily back into the air.

It looked a bit wobbly despite having the skill.
Seems like I’ve dealt it more damage than I initially thought.

“Screech, screech screech…”

“That’s ‘I can’t believe that the ones standing behind are the stronger ones…’ Looks like it finally realised that.”

“Is it an idiot?”

“Right”

The monster girls’ scathing assessment.

“Screech screech, screech!”

“It’s saying ‘As you wish, I’ll start with this one!’”

The Immortal King proclaimed as it faced Sara.
It seems like it realised that it would be impossible to defeat me instantly in a battle. 

“Looks like we scared it off.”

“It ran away”

The monster girls’ scathing assessment.

The Immortal King began to cast in rapid succession.
An incessant storm of magic spells was released due to .  

…and got completely nullified by Sara’s innate skill.
The moment the magic spells hit Sara, they all disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place.

Yup, I knew that would happen.

I’m sure Sara could easily just stay on the attack, yet, because I had already dealt the Immortal King a lot of damage with my kick, she decided that just defeating it like that wouldn’t allow her to showcase her abilities, so it seems like she used another one of her unique skills to create a chance for herself to show off. 

“Magic doesn’t work on me!”

Sara proclaimed grandly.
Surprisingly, that was actually kind of cool of her.

“Screech, screech screech screech screeeech?”

“That’s ‘Wh-What did you say!?’”

Sara smiled smugly as she looked at the shocked Immortal King.

“Screech screech!”

“That’s ‘In that case, how about this!’”

New zombies appeared from below the Immortal King as it said those words.

“Screech screech screech.
Screech screech, screech screech screech!”

“That’s ‘These are the adventurers who came to this village.
I didn’t like the sight of some non-villagers wandering around the village, so I buried them underground for the time being, but their combat abilities are much higher than villagers’!’”

Just as it said, the 17 new zombies that appeared were all equipped with some form of weapons, unlike the zombie villagers.

“Oh? I did wonder what happened to all the people who came here before.
Looks like they’ve all become zombies…”

“That’s disgusting!”

“Screech screech!”

“That’s ‘Charge!’”

The zombie adventurers (provisional) rushed towards Sara. 

While they were definitely moving much faster than the zombie villagers, zombies were still zombies.
I don’t think any hero would feel threatened by beings without intelligence.

Sara began to slaughter the zombie adventurers one by one.

In that sense, wasn’t the dungeon in Estia Kingdom using zombies in the right way? Without paying too much attention to their individual strength, they tried to overwhelm us with sheer numbers.

Sara quickly took care all the zombie adventurers (provisional).

“Is that all you have?”

“Screech screech.
Screech screech…”

“‘That’s impossible.
You defeated my army so easily…’”

It looked like the Immortal King didn’t have any other cards to play.

Sara kicked off from the ground and headed towards the Immortal King with a tremendous force.

“It’s my turn to attack now! Haaaaa!” 

“Screech!”

“That’s ‘Damn it!’”

Did it use ? Its figure grew faint, disappearing. 

There’s no way we were letting it go.
As long as it didn’t teleport, it was basically impossible for it to run from the map’s display.
While only taking a glance at it, Sara swung her giant sword at an empty space.

“Argh!!!”

“Screech, screech screech!?”

“That’s ‘Why, urghhhh!?’ It died.”

The Immortal King’s HP become zero after it took a direct hit.
Adding the damage dealt by Sara’s unrivalled destructive power on top of it’s health already being reduced by half, it was a complete overkill.

“It’s my victory!”

Sara proclaimed as she held up her sword.
It would have been quite a cool scene if it hadn’t been for the Immortal King coming at me halfway though the fight.
Yet another moment ruined by my overpowered existence…

Afterwards, we cleaned up the remaining zombies.

There wasn’t much resistance.

We burned all the corpses, and buried the ashes in one place.
While the miasma that filled the village dispersed along with the Immortal King’s death, it’ll still take a while for this ecosystem, that has been stained with it, to return to its original state. 

I thought about erecting a tombstone, but I stopped because I though it would just be for my own self-satisfaction.
As a funeral service, we placed the adventurers’ weapons upright in the ground as a replacement for grave markings.
Considering the development level of this world’s society, it probably wouldn’t be possible to identify their owners, even if we were to bring them back to the guild.

Well, that’s that.
Rest in peace.

“Still, I’m ashamed of myself.”

“Oh, you did good though.”

“While there were some complications, I’m glad I could be of help.
Also, I’m glad we stopped that sort of monster from continuing to do as it pleased.”

Sara said as we used “Portal” to return to the mansion.

Apparently she was going to participate in Mio and the maid’s cooking research.
She likely got tempted by the idea of trying out the new egg dishes.
Dora seemed to want to go as well, but it looks like she chose to stay with me in the end.

“Staying with master~!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our next contestant was Maria.
Unlike Sara, she said that she wasn’t doing it to show off, but simply because she wanted to test her strength.

“To protect Jin-sama, I need strength that can rival his.
I cannot lose to the likes of a Silverwolf Lord.”

“Your enthusiasm is amazing!”

“Right”

And the next opponent was a wolf monster called Silverwolf Lord.

It was at the peak of all the wolf monsters, like the fangwolves and the silverwolves.
While big blackwolves could sometimes rival boss monsters when in a pack, it just wasn’t the same.
To begin with, Silverwolf Lord didn’t create a pack.
The level disparity was so big, the other wolves would just get in its way.

The reason this particular monster couldn’t be subjugated for so long was due to its speed and its habit of not staying in any one place for an extended period of time.
Even if one tried to subjugate it after it harmed humans, the chances of it remaining at the site were extremely low.
Even if you encountered it, it was strong enough to make subjugating it difficult, and on top of all that, it had a habit of running away whenever it was about to lose. 

In fact, since it hardly ever appeared, in the areas it frequented, people feared encountering it like a scourge, saying things like “Your luck must be terrible to actually run into it”.
…I remember receiving a similar evaluation in the past.
(ED: not sure what he meant here, maybe something some adventurers gossiped about him in the past)

Actually, most people didn’t know that it didn’t stay in any one place for too long.
Rather, it seemed to have a habit of always sleeping in the same dwelling and always hunting away from it.
Unfortunately for it, out guide Maple knew exactly where that dwelling was. 

It was located in a forest in one of the northern nations of the Atto Union. 

“The place is known as the Forest of Illusion, since it’s difficult not to get lost if you enter too deep.
I also didn’t enter.
I just happened to see the Silverwolf Lord go inside.”

The Forest of Illusions, huh? Fantasy geeks would probably love it.

The Silverwolf Lord of the Forest of Illusions.
To be honest, it’s got a nice ring to it.
But, as it too was already condemned for subjugation, like the Immortal King, taming it was not an option. 

Below is the conversation with Maple we had on the topic this morning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The Silverwolf Lord said it killed people for fun.
It smugly said, that if it were to go overboard, a large subjugation unit would be sent after it, so it intentionally spread out its kills.”

“Silverwolf Lord is a pretty cool name, but the way it acts is just the worst…”

That was the moment the Silverwolf Lord’s stock in my mind crashed.

“In addition, it kept looking at me like a pervert.”

“Huh? At a Sea Serpent?”

“Yup.
I think its idea was that “any female hole will do”.”

“What’s up with that piece of shit…”

Silverwolf Lord’s stock continued to plummet.

“When it attacks humans, if its victims happen to be female…”

Maple said with a look of disgust.

While I was listening to her talk, she did proclaim very strongly, that while they knew each other, they certainly weren’t friends.

“OK, it’s an enemy of all humanity.
There’s no need to tame it.”

“Sorry Jin-kun… I do not want to meet this monster either…”

“Same here.”

“Right, I think that’s for the better.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura and Mio both had their reasons for not coming with us this time around.
The Immortal King and the Silverwolf Lord were both tough opponents for girls with modern Japanese sensibilities. 

I was already decided to subjugate Silverwolf Lord based on that discussion.
Even without any additional circumstances to consider, it was pretty clear it was harmful to humanity. 

If it’s the fast and agile Maria, the nimble Silverwolf Lord will make a suitable opponent. 

If the highlight of Sara’s fight were her unparalleled attacks against the zombies, the highlight of Maria’s fight will definitely be the battle of speed against the wolf.

In line with Silverwolf Lord’s preferences, Maria will certainly tear him a new hole or two.
