Versus Kajikawa Hikaru
This chapter is from Hero's POV
"Kill, kill kill kill."
That's terifyiiiiing!! His voice sounded hollow from being brainwashed but it only adds to the creepiness factor! I'm gonna piss my pants!
Then there's his glowing eyes and that mask, he looks the complete package of a shady fella!
Also, his Status remains a mystery. I've no idea how strong is this guy.
<<No, I had a talk with 'His Menu' and the lockdown on his Status is now lifted. We can check his Status!>>
...I see.
'His Menu' huh, I knew it, this guy must be...!

What the heck is this.
What the heck is this.
W h a t t h e h e c k
Yup, judging from his name--Kajikawa Hikaru--this guy must be a Japanese.
Goddess was right. It doesn't look like he can obtain Skill seeing the *Unavailable* on Skill List.
That's fine and dandy. So far.
But all other Stats are just asking for punchlines! What the heck is Lv55!?
Apparently he got here around a month before me, so how is our level gap so huge!?
And those Attributes, they're just weird! They're all pretty much evenly distributed and at over 1500!
I'm seeing lots of unfamiliar sounding Titles too. Stuff like 'Great King of Terror', or 'Disciple of Fierce God'.
Nameless Greathammer (Enchanted - Contains Explosive Mechanism), so all those popping explosions earlier are thanks to this.
The ATK value is not shown. Seems like a real dangerous weapon.
Would have been more understandable if his Race says 'Monster' instead of 'Human', all things considered.
No wonder the goddess was her wit's end. What's up with this guy.
...Weren't the demon earlier, Lv82? This guy is stronger than that demon if we compile all his Attributes.
But if that demon doubled his Attributes using 'True Demon Release', even these Stats couldn't have put a dent on--
While I was busy inspecting his Status, the masked guy got in front of me in no time.
"Uooooooo!!?"
"Kill."
W-w-when did he even move!? My eyes couldn't keep up!
Oh crap, he's lifting his greathammer! Gotta defend with Shield Art!
"Uwaaaa!!?"
My shield crumbled apart like a biscuit.
This thing's supposed to be a super sturdy shield made from a Rank A turtle magic beast though!?
His every attack carries way too much weight...!! I can't believe guy's casually swinging that thing around.
"Kill."
"Eh...?"
The masked guy held his palm ahead of my face after breaking my shield.
What is he--
<<Get down!!>>
"!!"
I reflexively lowered my head at Menu's warning.
I heard the sound of splitting air in the spot my head was at.
I could tell something invisible came out of his palm.
W-what was that, a Skill? Wait, he can't use Skills, can he!?
Menu, what's the deal!?
<<Ah geez, it can't be helped! This man doesn't use Skills, no he directly controls mana and stamina itself! I don't know how he does it, but he's capable of exerting phenomenon not unlike Skills, no, even more powerful and adaptable even!>>
...Eh?
<<I'm saying his lack of Skills doesn't handicap him in the least! In fact, thanks to his higher base Attributes, he holds the much higher upper hands against equal level opponents! He can't buff himself right now since he's out of stamina but you still want to treat fighting him like you're fighting an upper level 70-80 foe!>>
I can't catch up!
I know I've been saying the word nonstop for a while now, but still! What's up with this guy!?
<TLN: Catch the latest updates and edits at Sousetsuka .com >
<<The only way to undo such a high level Brainwash Skill is the highest level Decurse skill or reducing the victim's HP to zero!>>
Highest level Decurse, like the ones used by holy-type Jobs? I'd have died twice, thrice before we could manage that.
Wait, reduce his HP to zero, you mean killing him? That's putting the cart before the horse.
<<...No, according to his Menu, any damage that man suffers gets transferred to his HP instead of his physical body. At least until his HP runs out.>>
...OK, I ain't gonna quip no more.
In short, all we gotta do is to go at it like we're trying to seriously kill him till he comes back to his sense, right?
This would have been difficulty impossible if I had to hold back, so I'm thankful.
<<But it's still going to be a rough fight... Think you got a chance?>>
No way in hell!
How am I meant to go toe-to-toe against a monster on par with that white demon!
Hyumlassa and Gazanginando are out of commission too, so I only have Levia, Olivie and Aina-san to help deal with him somehow.
The important Attributes like ATK, DEF and AGI aren't that much higher than a Shining Tiger.
We should manage somehow--
"Kill."
"Kyaaa!?"
"H-he's pulling me in...!?"
"W-whaat!?"
Just when we were about to take positions, something invisible suddenly pulled Levia and Olivie toward the masked guy.
Is he doing that with mana!? Invisible on top of multi purpose, that's just way unfair!
"W-what's happening. L-let go of me!"
"Die."
"Hie...!"
He pointed his palm toward Levia and Olivie while muttering with an inorganic voice. They could only let out a shriek.
There's no overcoming the fear of death even if they get revived.
"!"
A light stake-like object pierced through the masked guy's torso before he could shot out that invisible something at their heads.
I think that was Aina-san's [Paralyze Arrow]. A Skill Ability that puts its target in [Paralyzed] State.
"Sorry, I know you're being controlled but I can't bring myself to watch my pupils offed. Stay put for a while for me--"
"Kill."
The masked guy let go of Levia and Olivie and shifted his target to Aina-san.
He doesn't seem paralyzed at all.
"...Huh? Wait, what, did he undo the Paralyze...?"
"Aina-san, he's got over 1500 Resistance! Ordinary abnormal status attacks won't work!"
"1-1500... Anything less than super-deadly venom from rank S magic beasts will be neutralized right away... Seriously, what is this man..."
"Kill."
"Hii!? Too fast, he's too fast!!"
The masked guy moved faster than Ground Shrink is capable of and got ready to punch Aina-san.
No, Aina-san doesn't have Revival Grace! I've got to stop him no matter what!
"Uuu...!! Huh...?"
"..."
His fist stopped right in front of Aina-san's nose.
D-did the brainwashing wear off?
"K-Kajikawa-kun...? Are you back to..."
"Race 'Elf'. Not 'Human'. Inapplicable."
"E, eh...?"
That's not it, it's simply because Aina-san's not a 'Human', the object of his kill order!
Would have been bad if that demon said 'everybody in the world' or something. We're saved by the rigidity of Brainwash Skill...
"Nearby humans found... Kill."
"!"
Oh crap, he's looking at the passed out Hyumlassa annd Gazanginando's direction!
Is he prioritizing easy targets? Several unconscious people will get dragged!
"Guys, protect Hyumlassa and the others!"
"No, he's too fast, I can't catch up!"
"Dammit! He was super dependable as an ally too. Can't believe how annoying he gets when turned on us!"
He moved at tremendous speed to where Hyumlassa and the others lay, took a greathammer on the ground and lifted it up.
"Die."
"Don't do iiiiiiiiit!!"
They'd die by his hands at this rate!
No, I can't imagine how remorseful he'd be once he gets back to normal and finds out he's killed people...!
I can't let them die! I can't let him kill anyone! Make it, please don't do it!
The greathammer mercilessly hit the ground, creating a crater alongside a cloud of dust.
.....A, ah, I, couldn't make it...!
<<...No! He hasn't killed anyone! Hyumlassa and the rest are safe!>>
...Eh?
"Kajikawa-san, what do you think you're doing!!"
"...Hikaru!"
I saw figures of people carrying Hyumlassa and the others while glaring hard at the masked guy.
That's, Reinamiure and Alma...!? And, a chick?!
<<They rescued them with 'Shadow Dive'... Those girls might just...!>>
T-there's no way.
The gaps between their Statuses are way too much! They'd get killed right away!
"Humans... Kill..."
"Uwa, he's muttering some real deranged stuff!"
"...I sense a weird mana circulating inside Hikaru."
"His eyes are glowing too... I bet he's being mind controlled or something!"
"...No choice. I feel bad for Hikaru, but we have to knock him out."
"Gotchu!"
『Pi!』
They're fearlessly facing off against the masked guy.
...Perhaps this masked guy is, their party's leader...?
