80 – 「Mind Crush」

“…You are the Demonic Church.”

“Yeah…? What do you mean by that? What is the Demonic Church, again…?”

When I asked with confidence, Pocari pretended not to know, but….

My high sense of shame didn’t miss the faint trembling mixed with the man’s calm voice.

“Drank…Cult? …What is it, sister?”

Georgia, who was rolling her eyes at the sudden rigid atmosphere, asked T.O.P, who was standing next to her, a very small question as if it was the first word she had ever heard in her life.

“Huh?…Hmm. I think I’ve heard of it somewhere…”

At Georgia’s sudden question, Thiopi held his head as if he couldn’t remember, pondered over it, then stuttered and opened his mouth.

“I think I saw it in a history book a long time ago… It must have been a xie jiao designated as a terrorist group that suddenly appeared 400 years ago and caused incidents across the continent.”

“A terrorist group… you mean?”

“In the history books, it was written that it was a terrorist group… But in reality, there was no record of what kind of ideology it had or what it did. Years ago, it was written that more than half of the 10 continental powers of the time gathered and destroyed it. After that, there were occasional criminals who called themselves the Demonic Church, but in reality, they said they were just pretending.”

The two whisper quietly.

As if he had heard the conversation between the two, Lesby didn’t hide his uncomfortable feelings and spoke to me while putting his hand on the handle of the godfather that was slung on his back.

“…No matter how lifesaver you are, you can’t stand by insulting our mercenary comrades for no reason.”

The moment I set my eyes on Lesby, who, despite realizing that her skills were not reaching her, stood up for the insulted comrade.

“──Suck!”

Shhh-!

Pocari pulled out the dagger from his waist and swung it quickly at my hand holding his own.

“……Hmm.”

From noble mtl dot com

I avoided the dagger aiming at my wrist, let go of Pocari’s hand, and took a step back.

Willilic-

Pocari instantly distanced himself from me with agile movements that a person who hadn’t awakened to magic in the meantime could ‘never do’.

“…Pocari, you…magic…?!”

Lesby looked at Pocari with disbelief eyes.

Perhaps feeling Lesby’s stare, Pocari erased the sad smile from his mouth and opened his mouth with an eerie smile.

“Oh… I was caught. Are you surprised? Captain… No, Lesby. I, the one you all looked down on and ignored as incompetent! The fact that I am a strong person who has reached the realm of superhumans like this…!”

“What do you mean… When did we ignore you…”

“Ha…! You may not have marked it on the outside, but it’s obvious that you ignored it in your heart! Ever since you were wood-level mercenaries, as your senior mercenaries, we organized a party together, and you awakened your magical powers and reached the level of superhumans. Me who couldn’t even awaken my magical powers when I reached this point!”

“It can’t be… Can’t it be…!”

At the cry of Pocari, which is imbued with a deep sense of inferiority, Lesby can’t bear to speak with a futile expression on her face.

I only saw it briefly earlier. Far from ignoring the actions of the Cuff Mercenary Corps in dealing with Pocari, their strong trust in Pocari was evident.

Besides, the moment Lesby thought I had insulted a colleague, he didn’t try to attack me right away, even though he knew the difference in my skills.

Just because those people really don’t have magical powers, there’s no way they could ignore a colleague they’ve been with for over ten years.

I know that even though I haven’t even met him for an hour……

Pocari, who had been together for more than ten years, did not trust his colleagues and continued to spit out verbal abuse filled with an inferiority complex that he had accumulated alone.

Pocari, who poured out his feelings of inferiority for such a long time, soon turned his attention to me.

“By the way…How on earth did you know? That I am a follower of the Demon God.”

Of course it’s because of the name, you idiot.

There is an ionized beverage between the coffees. Did you think that it would go unnoticed?

… I’d like to say that, but of course it’s a joke.

The reason I was convinced that he was actually from the Demonic Church was the nerve-wracking discomfort I felt from the

Golden sense—

“——It’s because of your ‘dirty magic’ that makes you vomit just by looking at it.”

──It’s because of the ‘black magic’ that fills the body of the guy who appears to be the .

‘I only read it as a strategy book, but I actually saw it for the first time…. I can tell right away the moment I see it. That’s what only those who belong to the Demon Church possess——that it’s ‘evil’ attribute magic.’

Unlike the clean, black, dark-attribute magic that reminds you of the darkness of night…

… As if looking into a gutter, it was extremely dirty, repulsive, and had a turbid black color——’contaminated’ magic.

It was an unsettling magic that made you feel like insects were crawling on your skin just by looking at it.

“…What! Do you dare to say that the magic power of this great Demon God is dirty…!!!”

Pocari crinkles his face as if angered by my words, and creates turbid mana.

“…Pocari! You bastard, are you really into socializing!”

Even if you don’t have the ability to see magic directly, can you feel the reluctance of the evil magic emanating from Pocari’s body?

As well as Lesby, Georgia and Thiope also raised their weapons and pointed them at the man.

Although they must have been very tired, the momentum of the three who had reached the level of superhumans began to press on Pocari──

“What, what…?!”

“…Ugh! Suddenly, the body… power…can’t enter…!”

“…Uh, ugh.”

——The three of them, who were exuding momentum, collapsed with their bodies hardened.

“Huh, hahahahaha…!!! I thought it was time for the effect to start working…!!!”

Pocari smiled meanly at the people who collapsed on the floor and swayed.

“You won’t be able to move for a while! The potion you just drank was endowed with the power of blessings from the demons…!!! Heh, hahahahaha…!!!”

Pocari laughs maniacally, bending her eyes, full of low-spirited joy at seeing those stronger than herself immobilized by her, and fanatical belief in demon gods.

A tingling yellow magic trickled down from his hand.

“…You, uh! Did you, awaken, with the gift…!”

“Yes! It is a [Paralysis] Gift bestowed upon me by the demon god the moment I was ‘baptized’ by a high-ranking follower and awakened to my magical power! It is a very powerful ability that can paralyze even a troll for dozens of minutes…!! !”

Pocari smirked and looked down at Lesby, who was desperately trying to move somehow.

He soon began to approach me, who was standing still.

“hehehe… What you ate was a special potion that I put to the limit of what I could bestow. You probably won’t even be able to speak unlike the other guys. Did you stupidly learn that you shouldn’t carelessly eat what others gave you? … hahahahaha!”

Pocari mocked me for staring at him with only his eyes moving, and he pulled out a sharp dagger.

“Don’t worry too much. I won’t kill you who have awakened your magical powers. You are very precious bodies who will be baptized and join our demonic cult. … Before that, we must cut off the tendons in your limbs so that you will not rebel. I guess… only!!!”

As he said that, the man lowered his dagger at me and ──

──Jap!

“Wait, billion…?!”

──My fist wrapped in magical powers crushed his face and flew away.

Kudangtang—!!

“Keep, uhhhhh…! Keke! Keh, uhhhhh…!”

A man wriggling on the ground after being hit by my fist and rolling dozens of meters.

“Oh, ugh…! Uh, how…! How can you move…!!! What you drank is a special potion that can paralyze even an ogre…!!!”

Pocari let out a condescending squeak as he was crushed by his fists, his twisted nose bridge and his mouth covered with several missing teeth with one hand.

‘Of course I didn’t drink, that’s right. There’s no way I could drink that rotten potion.’

It must have looked like I drank the potion to him, but the potion he gave me is currently in a liquid state in ‘subspace’.

It’s because I pretended to drink the potion and momentarily created a tiny entrance to my subspace in my throat.

I raised one corner of my mouth and laughed at the man who staggered to his feet.

“…The power that the Demon God bestowed on you must have been defective….Well, since it was the power bestowed by a loser who was ultimately defeated by mankind, it’s understandable.”

“Damn, loser…!? Yes, nooooo, right away, rescinding those words…!!! How dare, how dare you! Insult the Demon God…!!!”

I looked down with cold eyes at Pocari, who rolled his eyes at my provocation.

“Kill, kill…! You who insulted the Demon God will surely be killed…!!!”

Pocari pointed his hand at me. The mana that contained the superpower of [Paralysis] Began to gather in the palm of his hand.

“If the potion doesn’t work, I’ll directly ram [Paralysis] With full power…!!! After that, I’ll tear you who can’t move into pieces and feed them to play!!! Die– !!!”

Following Pocari’s great spirit, its mana shoots at me—

“——Huh?”

──I didn’t lose.

“What, what!? Why isn’t the magic power moving…?! …No, it’s not just the magic——”

──I can’t even move my body… ?!

“That’s because I ‘seized’ your magic power by using the ‘magic power I put into your body’.”

I said that as I approached the man who ‘had stopped’ with his hand pointed at me.

“Huh, nonsense…! That would be impossible even if the legendary archmage came! Injecting mana into someone else without any negative reaction, or exercising control over the mana in another person’s body from tens of meters away… !!!”

“But that’s okay.”

I said calmly to the man who shouted as he looked at me who had come right in front of him with terrified eyes.

“When I put mana into your body. The reason why there was no rejection is because I ‘transformed’ my mana with your mana without an error, and then ‘synchronized’ my mana.”

Thanks to the experience of synchronizing the magic of the Su Icicle a few hours ago, I was able to do it more easily this time.

“I only did it because I was able to control magic outside the body——but.”

I lightly said that I just did it because it worked.

As if the man felt even more frightened by that tone of voice, her face went white.

“In other words, the moment you held my hand for more than 10 seconds. Your life was already in the palm of my hand.”

That’s why I let go of it.

“Well, then why…”

“‘Why didn’t they attack you right away?’ That’s because if you catch them without letting them know your true nature, friction will arise and you might even get something useful.”

As I said that, yellow mana dripped from my palm.

The man who opened her eyes wide upon seeing that.

“Thanks to that, I got something useful.”

“You, you, you…! My gift…!!! …Could it be that you are the owner of the same gift as the 7 Bishops…?!”

“No, in a sense I’m ‘upward compatible’.”

She asked casually, placing her hand on the man’s head.

“Do you know why I answered all the questions to get your information? That’s because of your question, which is enchanted with ‘communication’ with the superior.”

“──”

A man who momentarily loses her speech, like someone who has a fatal secret.

I continued talking to such a man.

“The first is that I have already mastered the communication magic that has been cast on you for a long time.”

“……!?”

“Second is because my familiar is following the signal from the communication magic. Where is your superior? ──And my familiar just got a call.”

“That, that sound…!?”

“Yes——”

──That means you’re useless now.

“That, stop… Don’t kill me…! Please help me…!!!”

The man who felt that his death was right in front of her nose began to desperately beg for his life.

I looked at the man and said in a calm tone.

“Don’t worry too much. I won’t kill you.”

“Huh…?”

At her words of not killing, the man put on a dumbfounded expression, but the feeling of relief began to leak out on her face little by little.

“Instead——”

As I lifted the dark-attribute mana in my hand that was placed on the man’s head, I felt the mana and said to the man whose expression was rapidly growing in despair.

“──You’ll become an ‘idiot’ who forgets everything.”
