Kwaaaa …

As soon as the goods were brought in, a huge flame soon engulfed the entire space.

It took quite a while for the smoke from the fire to clear.

But when the smoke cleared.

“… … .”

No one was visible.

I looked around intently, but I felt no movement.

Of course, just like when we fought the manifester group before, they may have used their teleportation powers too… … .

The chances of that happening were probably slim.

That’s understandable, hasn’t one of them already demonstrated his power?

The next level up, the power of hiding.

That’s probably what they are doing now.

It must be hiding somewhere here.

It would probably be difficult for them to approach us rashly.

In the first place, I know that I fought a duel at the Negrosi temple, and Berman probably… … .

You might have said that you know how to use goods.

Of course, now he is suspected of being a manifestor.

Besides, from their perspective, they somehow manage to buy time.

After going to the holy land, it would be a good idea to consider seeking help from the temple.

They’re not that stupid, so they probably have an idea of ​​our level.

Even if you are a level 4 adventurer, one of them has a stealth ability that is practically close to an assistant.

I don’t know the other two’s powers yet… … ,

It didn’t seem like a combat-specialized series that would be as difficult to deal with as Nowen.

For that reason, I first looked around cautiously.

He swung his arms, wrapped in treasure, in all directions.

Kwaaaaahh …

Well, if it doesn’t come out.

Wouldn’t it be okay if we just made it come out somehow?

The moment the surroundings are covered with goods, it will be impossible to continue to block it.

He’ll definitely try to escape somewhere.

And then.

Parsac.

If you can detect even the slightest sound of them moving, you can roughly determine their location.

Then I.

Kwaaaaah!

All you had to do was just attack them.

So I wrapped my belongings around it and concentrated so as not to miss even the smallest sound.

He hurled the object again in the direction from which the sound was heard.

And the leader of the group did not miss this sound either.

He waved his good hand and rained down red crystals.

Pavababak, kak, kak!

The red crystal flew threateningly towards the place where the sound came from.

Red crystals embedded in the ground, surrounding the area.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that they will just sit by and take it.

As the red crystals flew in, they suddenly appeared.

Instead, he jumped towards us.

Even if I hold out like this, I feel like I’ll be defenseless and won’t be able to do anything.

It seems like they’re trying to turn the situation around somehow.

… … Well, it was understandable to think that way.

No matter how difficult the leader and I are as opponents,

You might have thought there were only two of them.

The first one to rush in was the short guy who always walked in front.

He jumped very high and swung down his wicked-looking axe.

To take that blow, I also raised my sword high horizontally.

Kagagak!

… … Contrary to expectations, the bastard’s axe was so heavy that it was difficult to easily block it.

To be exact, it was a weight of a different dimension than what I had expected.

Rather, my arm that was holding the bastard’s axe started to ache.

Let’s take a look at the guy to find out why… … and we can see the answer.

Because he used his power, he became much larger than before.

In fact, it’s more than 1.5 times my body size.

Since he was originally smaller and shorter than me, I could clearly tell that his body size had changed.

And as soon as I saw that sight, I could easily guess what the bastard’s power was.

The very power of obesity.

In fact, it was not a special ability, but a buff-type power that increased certain abilities.

When casting power, it greatly increases stamina and strength.

The body size increased depending on the increase in height.

This is a power that is perfectly suited for tanks.

And when you check how much the guy has grown, it seems like his strength and stamina have doubled.

So, if we go up against that guy’s strength right now.

Even if a country has maximized its steel power, it will be difficult to hold out.

Kaga, kaga!

For this reason, I couldn’t overcome his axe and my sword started to get pushed back little by little.

The bastard didn’t miss this gap and started pushing with more force.

Other guys also quickly started joining the fight.

Chook-!!

I was trying to catch the axe, but I quickly tilted my head to the left when I saw something flying at me.

Despite my quick movements, I was unable to completely dodge the axe as it was still attached to my body.

… … So I got a shallow gash on my cheek.

Let’s check where the attack came from, and there was a guy with glasses who had already put down his documents and was attacking me.

As soon as our eyes met, he reached out his hand to me and cast his power.

Small, purple-tinged magical cannons began to form at the tips of his fingers.

In modern terms, it looked like they were preparing to shoot.

And by the looks of it, the bastard’s power was probably the power of shooting.

The power to fire large and small magical cannons from specific body parts.

And depending on the level of authority, the power of the magic gun varies greatly… … .

Considering that he’s a 4th coefficient, he must have quite a lot of power.

Even though I had maxed out my steel armor to deal with the axe guy.

You were able to find this much fault with me.

But then the bastard started shooting his magic cannons mercilessly.

Chomp, chomp!

Thanks to the leader shooting the decisions accordingly.

It could be offset to some extent.

In the air, the red crystal powder that collided with the magic cannon scattered.

I lit the fuse in my sword-holding hand to induce him to show an opening.

“Ugh… … !”

He took advantage of the moment when the burned man hesitated and swung his sword, deliberately keeping some distance from the axe man.

I thought that even if we were held like this, the situation would only end up being disadvantageous to us.

And as soon as I got some distance, I reached out to them.

I shot the goods, fully maximized, at him.

It was actually the first time that the maximum was attached to goods.

After sending out fire like that, it was quiet right after.

… … , … … , kwakwakwakwakwak!

At the end of that silence, a huge explosion occurred.

The explosion had once again sent up a thick cloud of smoke, but there was no time to wait for it to clear.

I immediately ran through the smoke and towards where the guys were.

He summoned the treasure there again.

And what was seen at the end was… … .

To protect your comrades, embrace them.

There was an axe guy who took the hit almost head-on while his back was turned.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh… … .”

The groaner’s back was so badly damaged that the muscle tissue was literally visible.

In the end, only consciousness remained.

… … I don’t know if I should call this great mental strength.

Since we don’t have any spare time, let’s just shoot the goods at him again.

A man who was already half-conscious spoke to me.

“Ugh, ugh, why, why… … , are you on the side of the manifesters, beggars… … ?”

And then I paused for a moment at his words.

I wonder if he thought this was my consideration in giving him time to speak.

He turned his head with difficulty and met my eyes, who was standing behind him.

… … In fact, it couldn’t even be said that they made eye contact.

As if to prove that he was already half-conscious, the bastard’s eyes were almost closed and were trembling.

Still, the bastard stubbornly opened his mouth and said this.

“That, isn’t that so… … . You know how to handle money. No matter how I look at it, I can’t help but see you as the successor to Lord Rival, Ro… … . Why, why do you have to side with them?”

“… … .”

“The Prophet, you are the evil ones who stole the power of the gods… … . The power you gain by stealing can only be evil, right… … . If you are prepared to die, why would you help them… … ?”

……aha.

I suddenly wondered what he meant.

When he saw my wealth, he seemed to think that I was definitely the successor.

And yet, you are breaking the oath I made to Berman and letting him go.

I guess he thought I was willing to risk my life to help him… … .

“It’s a useless worry.”

When he said this bluntly, he was about to plunge his sword into the bastard’s body for the last time.

“… … No, it’s not that you’re worrying for nothing.”

“… … ?”

At that moment, a purple light leaked out from the gap that was hidden in the axe guy’s body.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Just then, a purple magic cannon pierced through the bastard’s body and flew towards me.

Because it was too short a distance to avoid.

It was a threatening attack, enough to tear off part of my waist, even though I was moving around on my own.

… … The axe guy had to give up his entire torso to make this attack.

He said this while spitting out blood, still keeping his gaze on me.

“Like the creator, the one who turned his back on God should die, even if he is the successor, ji… … , bang!”

Behind the body of the guy who fell down spitting out blood.

Even though the axe guy had blocked it to some extent, there were still two guys left who couldn’t completely avoid the aftereffects of the disaster.

And a long time later, Berman was sitting there with a blank expression on his face, unable to even fight properly.

Chi, chiiik… … .

After I lightly brought the kindling I had brought to stop the bleeding, I placed it on his side.

I unfolded the chain and connected it to each of the three in front of me.

Even with the maximum attached.

“Keep, keep yaaaah!”

Since he had been hit hard and suffered a fairly severe injury, his absorption rate was quite high.

On top of that, the bespectacled guy had just reached a state of exhaustion because he had used up all his powers with that one blow.

The pain seemed so intense that he just screamed.

Berman and the other taciturn fellow also looked to be having a hard time.

As I approached them, they struggled to get away from me, twisting their bodies.

I didn’t even allow that.

In the first place, to prevent them from escaping, they were pulling on the chains that were connected to each other.

When he realized that running away was useless, the bespectacled man looked at me in despair and shouted.

“That, that must be the power of absorption. How do you have it?”

“… … Can’t you tell just by looking at it? I just ate the crystals.”

“Ugh, uh… …, do you think we’re that stupid? We’ve been watching you all this time, but we’ve never, ever, seen you eat crystals.”

… … Aha, so that’s it.

You’re saying that you followed me from the beginning because you thought I was ugly.

“Ah, how can someone who is not even an heir possess not one, but two, powers and abilities of a god… …!”

I wonder if the successor has high faith.

When I saw the guy getting so angry without answering, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

And I looked at the guy who still couldn’t suppress his emotions and said this.

“Do you think the power I stole from God is only one?”

“……what?”

Ignoring the stupid guy’s question, I plunged my sword into his body.

By this point, I had already drained a lot of my stamina, so there was no need to hold out any longer.

As the sword pierced through, the bespectacled man fell limply as if nothing had happened.

After that, I was able to deal with even the quiet guy without much difficulty.

And what’s left is… … .

“Ugh, uh-uh-ah, Wh, get back, get back! Sa, save me!”

… … When will you look at me with eyes full of revenge?

But once he swung his weapon, he got scared and gave up the fight.

It was Berman.
