Skill? Nee yo Sonnamon! Chapter 253

Mere Human

 

This chapter starts from Scarymast's POV
We're facing off against the army of demons.
Then just as the white demon leading them uttered 'Annihilate all'.


"!?"

"...Who are you, mavericks."


Two figures showed up between the kingdom's army and the demons.
The white demon asked with a frown.


"Guy's asking something."

"Then he will have the answer... Wait a minute, how do you know about that reference--"


One is a beautiful blond boy easily mistaken for a girl.
Hero Neo Raifu. He finally came to... His lips look red, lipstick? No, they're just swollen? What happened.


"...Well whatever, but you just you wait later. The sting in my mouth is killing me."

"I merely took an emergency measure since you wouldn't wake up. Or what, you'd rather get killed and revived?"

"I might prefer that over this spicy hell..."

"Guess Aitserina-shi should have committed to it. She was seriously deliberating killing you for real."

"The hell, that's terrifying!? I mean, she did kill me many times already during our training!"


The other person is wearing a mask under a hood.
...That's a different mask from the one he wore during Hunting Fest. Is he a collector? I don't get his taste.
He handed something to Almatina and Reinamiure once he was done talking with the hero.


"I-it's the hero...! We're saved...!"

"Where'd he gone off too all this time?"

"Who's that masked guy beside him...?"


Nearby adventurers and soldiers wondered about the two.
Responding to that, the demon chief spoke with a frown.


"I see. You are the present day's Hero. I suppose it hasn't been half a year since your summoning, which explains your feebleness. Conceivable."

"...Well yeah, most people gonna seem feeble compared to ya."


Hero replied while sweating bullet.
Apparently, Hero and Kajikawa can see Status. I wonder how strong is that white demon.


"It is to my understanding that Hero is capable of fathoming everything, akin to Appraisal Skill. Naturally, that includes my Status."

"...Ou, I'm regretting that now."

"And, are you capable of stopping me from slaying every single human living in this city?"

"..."

"You cannot, can you? All of them will die, except you and your companions thanks to your Revival Grace. Every last one."


The white demon spoke plainly, neither in a mocking tone or provocatively.
Hearing that, the people nearby looked anxious.
They must be wondering if the addition of Hero does anything to the hopeless gap in power.


"Those humans appear to put their hope in you, yet my word carries the simple truth. You are powerless. You cannot save or defeat anyone. Not even me, a much inferior being than Demon King-sama."

"Be that as it may, I have to fight no matter what."

"So you choose to challenge me despite knowing the futility of it all. That too, is fine."


The white demon held his hand aloft in this direction, prompting the other demons to get into combat stance.


"Let us begin the annihilation... Kill them all."


The moment white demon gave his order



A thunderous explosive sound and tremor


An explosion swallowed the spot where the demon army was.


"Ugaaaaaaaaa!!?"

"W-what's going on!?"


Some of them got burned down, some instantly got encased in ice, some got hit by lightning as they fell one after another.


"...Man that's gruesome."


Hero muttered while frowning.
The white demon frowned as he surveyed the disastrous scene.


"...What have you done."

"Nothing? The plan was to buy time but you went and flapped your gums on your own, so yeah, I did literally nothing."


Buy time...? What is he talking about...?


"Foooo!? I leveled up a whole lotsa!"

"...Lv43 huh. Defeating demons really net you a lot of exp."

"Uwaa, all those demons scampered away everywhere."

"Julian sure worked wonder. Didn't think he even managed to create stuff that can kill demons over Level 50."

"You asked him to make something that dangerous...?"

"Guess you can call these things Magic Ore Mines. That went much better than anticipated."


I could hear Kajikawa's group chatting behind them.
...I see, they made use of that [Shadow Dive] Skill and set up some sort of traps under those demons.


That explosion has erased 30% of the demon forces, while the rest are suffering from not insignificant damage.
That should let us fight on equal an footing despite our fatigue.
Only if anyone can take on this white demon though.


"Fumu, you succeeded lowering our number. Quite a conundrum."

"Quit spouting such an obvious lie. Your face says it's not an issue at all."

"Nay, conundrum is the truth. Truly a bother this is."


The white demon sighed before resuming.


"No matter. I had always planned to personally kill every last one of you. This spells more work but the end result changes not."



The white demon raised his fist as he said that.


"Allow me to strike back."


And hit the ground.



The impact and explosion made the earlier explosion seemed like fireworks.


A crater formed on the ground like a meteorite crash as dust rose into a mushroom shape.


What tremendous power...!!


Everything, be it enemy or ally, got blown away by this impact.
I too was powerless as the shockwave sent me flying--

"Damn, are you for real...!"


What the heck is that destructive power...!
That was Martial Arts Skill Ability [Blast Fist].
How can this much destruction come from a weaponless Skill used by a lone individual.

All the adventurers and soldiers got blown away.
I'm the only one left standing.


"Oho, you alone endured through that. Hero, you are indeed."


...That attack was nothing more than a greeting to this demon. What the heck, he's not even a yasain.

<<O-oh no. If even his base spec is this powerful, his True Demon Release state will be...!>>

Eh, what? True Demon? Why does that sound like he's got some sort of second form...


"Yet, that's all you amount to. You may sleep now. Everything will have come to a pass when you're awake."


Not a moment after he said that, a pure white fist was already coming right before my face--







"Nah, you sleep. Scratch that, die."

"!?"


...Just before the fist hit my face, the mask man zeroed in on the demon.
With a huge hammer in his hand.


"Oraaa!!"

"Guh...!!"


The white demon barely managed to guard against the swung exploding hammer.
An incredibly loud sound of explosion reverberated in the air the moment it hit.


...I've been meaning to ask since waking up at the stadium, who is this mask guy anyway?
I can't see his Status and his attire looks way too suspicious.
Aina-san said he's a reliable ally, but I can't guess who...?


"...Fumu, you appear to be comparatively better than the rest. State your name."

"Die."


Mask man swung his hammer again while ignoring the white demon.
...How is this guy swinging that gigantic thing so fast.
The white demon who's guarding and parrying that bare handed is just as bad news.


"What're you spacing out for! Help me or go save those people, pick one!"


He yelled at me while I was dumbfounded.
S-scary... He might be scarier than Aina-san when she's mad...


<<Neora-san, let's leave this to him! You're only going to get in the way if you join this fight!>>

N, no, this demon shouldn't be that much stronger than a Shining Tiger.
I can at least serve as a shield...

<<Demons over Level 80 possess an Ability called [True Demon Release] which doubles their Attribute values! Neora-san is just gonna get instantly torn to shreds like a piece of paper! We should retreat and help those in need with Recovery Magic and medicine!>>

...I can't even be a shield huh.
Then, at least let me do this much...!


"[Speed Up]!"

"!"


I cast Support Magic to buff the mask man's speed.
Support Magic can only buff one Attribute at a time.
You need either the Advanced upgrade or a Master Skill to buff two or more.


"Sorry, that's all I can do for you! I'll go save the victims! Can I leave him to you!"

"Ah, I got this. Appreciate the buff."


Dammit, I'm so pitiful! So uncool! I'm no hero!
Only ever fight enemies weaker than me, running away when stronger foes show up! I haven't changed at all from my previous self!
I'm not suited to be Hero at all! I'm, just an ordinary man...!


"Fumu, I see the hero has made his escape."

"I'm more than a match for you, shi*heel."

"You mere human and your nonsensical rambling."

"And what's wrong with being a mere human! Don't care what you think, we're all giving it our all to live! Don't you dare make light of the life every single soul you're trying to murder lead!! I hate your type and your disdain for life! Die!!"


...Mere human, giving it all huh.
He probably just said it in the heat of moment, but it's good enough to encourage me.
There are things I can do... That last part sounds kinda contradictory though.
