Volume 2 - CH 227

I activated the skill I had never used before, [Demolition].

While I was prepared for how much MP it would take, it didn’t take any more MP than I expected.

Or rather …….

“……? It’s slowly decreasing. ……?”

It feels like it’s consuming 1 MP per five seconds.

From the way it’s decreasing, it’s probably not a very strong skill.

But it’s important to confirm.

Usually I wouldn’t do this at a time like this, I would use all of my other skills!

After a while of waiting, there was water drifting around me.

This is the kind of water that is often created by infinite water manipulation.

It fell to the ground and was absorbed.

This happened over and over again.

Before I knew it, the scene was spreading not only around me but also within a radius of several dozen meters, and the ground was getting muddier and muddier.

Finally, I began to lose track of what this skill was all about.

The enemy was closing in ……

And then a part of the ground sank.

As I wondered why such a thing would happen in one place, the same thing began to happen in other places.

Then the soil rose.

I think there were rocks and gravel mixed in with that soil.

I couldn’t see much because I was only there for a moment.

There was not only one lump of soil that came out of the ground.

It was as large as the area where I had shot HeavenSplit.

And finally, it started to move.

“Uhmm.”

My MP consumption spiked.

It went from 1 MP every three seconds to 3 MP every second.

Hold on a minute, this thing will only last about five minutes!

What the heck is this MP consumption!

Damn it, my MP is running out!

I tried to stop it, but it wouldn’t stop.

This is quite similar…….

It’s similar to the mudslide at the time I defeated Gobokk. ……

*Grumble grumble grumble.

I can’t stop it myself.

While my MP being scraped off, that large rock-mixed with soil charges toward the monster hordes.

The scale of it is wider than when I slashed at the enemy with the Heaven Split.

The ground shakes with a loud sound.

When the monsters saw this, they stopped in their tracks.

They were attacked by a mass of things that were more powerful and violent than they were.

They had the upper hand earlier, but in this split second, it was reversed.

Without any way to accomplish this, the monsters were swallowed up by the Demolition.

[GHRAAAA…]

[KHAAA──]

Some of the monsters tried to hold on and hit the avalanche with their own attacks, but they were swallowed up by the avalanche.

And it did not stop.

It feels as if it will never stop its momentum until it swallows everything.

NO, I want to stop it!

Because the MP consumption is so awful!

Please stop!

My heart’s cries for help were in vain, and this skill was eating up more and more MP.

But at the same time, it also brought the monster to the point of being unable to wake up again.

The color of the sediment torrent is already red.

And it seemed that the monsters I had defeated so far were also carried away, so the area was a little red and no pieces of flesh were left behind.

I wondered on my own how the cleanup was going to go, but I guess I don’t have to worry about it too much.

I didn’t expect the cleanup to be done this way, though.

Not to mention, the color is yucky.

I mean, the color is really bad.

Th- the soil also comes in colors other than brown. ……

I didn’t know that.

And the MP is really screwed up!

For real, for real, for real, for real!

Damn, I can’t even act like this anymore!

I quickly took out a mana potion from my magic bag and drank it down in one gulp.

The most superb pungent astringency and a hopeless fishy smell fills my mouth and pierces through my nose.

Seriously crappy taste.

“BLEEERGH……. No cap,  this is disgusting …….”

After all this pain and drinking, I only recovered…… 50 MP.

It’s not worth the price.

I mean, the Demolition just won’t stop.

Is it really going to devour all the enemies!

Give me a break, because if I collapse here, I’m going to be in trouble later on!

I’m worried about the black blobs, and I’m also worried about Houen, Reizen and the others who went in there!

I’m not going to die in a place like this!

“Oi! Adventurers! Give me some mana potions!”

“…………Yes? Yes, sir! Understood, immediately!”

This is not the time to be silly!

Please, I’m begging you!

So, I’m starting to think I can handle this situation on my own.

Maybe I should have the adventurers go back inside and help me deal with the centipedes.

But would they be offended if I gave them instructions like that?

To be frank, I don’t think this is the end of it.

We still don’t know the identity of that black blob, but it even brainwashed them into coming here.

And from what I’ve heard from Reizen, this monster horde is artificially triggered.

Judging from the ability of the magic crystal, there is no doubt about that.

I had no idea it was that troublesome.

And yet, it is still here in this country.

Where it is, we have no idea.

If this situation continues, the people and adventurers inside the country will suffer tremendous damage.

Ah, and those adventurers in there are the ones who just came back.

I know it’s not flawless, but it might be better to leave the centipedes to those guys. ……

“O-Ouren-san! Here!”

“Oh! That’s a lot!”

“J-judging by how great your skills are, I thought the magic power consumption would be great. ……”

You’re not wrong but you don’t need to bring a box full of mana potions!
