Volume 4 - CH 56.2
Ramunera regained his consciousness as he came across a rotten smell, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that he was on top of a giant plate.
When he moved head toward the sobbing voice, he saw Kirky sobbing like a child.
Though he couldn’t ask Kirky what happened since both of them were gagged, he saw that both of them were placed on top of a giant plate in their birthday attire. Kirk herself realized that they’re in huge trouble. As if their situation wasn’t worse enough, their entire body was smeared with some sort of seasoning.
（It seems they’re going to eat us.）
A normal undead had no concept of eating a human seasoned with sauce.
Nope, like hell, a normal undead couldn’t penetrate the barrier of four light conjured by holy relic when not even six generals were capable of doing so. Pho-san might be the only one who could do that.
In short, that headless undead was about as strong as Pho-san. And yet, it was as if there was nothing special about it. Meaning that undead with Pho-san’s level of power was normal in this place.
「Kuhahaha! Finally giving up eh!」
Even Kirky, who was hailed as a war princess, was sobbing like a kid. That’s just how hopeless their current situation is. They were surrounded by undead whose strength was on a completely different level from them. It was as if the humans were mere ants for them. Or else, they might be akin to divine beings for Ramunera and co.
Demon King? Dragon King? They were just trash before these guys. They were monster whose power rivalling that of Pho-san. The only one who could defeat them were those whose power had broke through the ceiling of this world’s logic, the transcendence.
The thing that interrupted Ramunera’s train of thought was a cook-like undead who entered the kitchen. That cook then placed both Ramunera and Kirky on a giant plate, and covered them with cloth.
""
When the cloth was unveiled a while later, Ramunera saw a genuine monster. It was a short man with a balloon-like body.
「!?」
He wanted to scream but the gag in his mouth prevented it se.
（What the hell is this guy…）
Are you kidding me! This fella is on a completely different level! His presence alone made me want to to vomit. Like hell Pho-san can win against these fellas. The seemingly bottomless magical power that feels like it burn my skin was far more sinister than the one owned by Kai Heineman.
（Just how in the world did we encounter such terrifying existence one after another!）
Ramunera really wanted to cry now. Naturally, the biggest reason was fear but, he was also very frustated. Up until now, Ramunera had never doubted his own strength. And yet, now he had to face bitter reality. First he encountered a human whose strength was anything but human, Kai Heineman, and just a while later, he encountered another monster whose power surpassed even that Kai Heineman. In short, he was forced to realize that the strength that he took pride until now was worthless in front of those true monsters. Thus, he couldn’t help but feel really vexed about it.
『Are they domesticated?』
『Our scout happened to catch them in the wild. After washing them clean and using my secret sauce to cover them, I hope Your Majesty will enjoy their fresh, wild flavor.』
『Awesome ＤＥＡＴＨ! Live, wild livestock(human)! My tongue smeared in that despair is a really tough one, bu~~~~t, no one hates the sweet rotten tasteＤＥＡＴＨ!』
Overhearing such disgusting remark from the more so disgusting looking balloon-like man, Ramunera felt as if millions of ants were running amok in his spine.
Maybe because he was so scared to the point that his blood felt frozen due to fear, Ramunera screamed inside.
But, his mute scream was futile――
『Alas, the best is to start from the head――』
The mouth of the balloon-like man opened wide, to the point of abnormality as he prepared to eat Kirky.
Before being picked up by Pho, both Kirky and Ramunera were children living in the slum. By the time they were conscious of their surrounding, they had already been raised like siblings. And now, the restrained Ramunera couldn’t do anything but see his sister-like figure eaten alive right before him, he couldn’t even scream to curse the balloon-like man. That situation was――
（DON’T MESS WITH MEEEEEEEEEE!!）
That was―― Absolutely unforgiveable! Even if the other party was god-like existence――
And then, when the boiling rage in his stomach exploded and he raised bestial roar despite the gag in his mouth――
『Beelzebub debu~♪ Beelzebub debu~~♪』
Another voice resounded directly in his head.
『WHO’S THERE ＤＥＡＴＨ!?』
The mouth of the balloon-like man returned to normal as he looked up in anger.
As if to answer that question,
『Found him, Supreme Ruler-chama~』
A bipedal fly appeared out of nowhere. Ramunera knew that fly was summoned by Kai Heineman. But, was aware that the fly wasn’t strong enough. Reason being he couldn’t feel sinister magical power from the fly like the one emitted by the balloon-like man. And the same goes even if Kai Heineman appeared in this place.
But, Ramunera knew he was wrong a moment later when he saw the dreaded expression of the balloon-like man. That expression was similar to when Ramunera and co looked at the balloon-like man.
『Your Majesty’s name is――』
And just when the balloon-like man seems like he wanted to say something, the castle made from red flesh suddenly crumbled down to pieces, leaving nothing but a vacant lot.
『IMPOSSIBLE! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE DEATH!』
Numerous grotesque beings surrounded the confused balloon-like man. And then, all of those grotesque beings bowed down to one direction.
Standing in the direction to which they bowed was Kai Heineman, holding a foreign sword in his right hand.
（What’s the meaning of this?）
Ramunera was truly confused right now. The reason being he felt nothing from Kai Heineman, the same for the bipedal fly. And yet, the balloon-like man was pleading for his life instead.
It appeared to him that the balloon-like man couldn’t defeat Kai Heineman no matter what. And as if to prove Ramunera’s suspicion, Kai Heineman mercilessly destroyed the balloon-like man with his overwhelming power.
A while later, Ramunera and co followed Kai Heineman back to the plaza prepared for the refugee.
This man, just what in the hell is he? Well, of course, I know that unlike Pho-san, he is a genuine transcendent being. Otherwise, there was no other explanation for how he could destroy an existence akin to the embodiment of despair as if trampling an ant. What I wanted to know isn’t superficial things like that, I wanted to understand his true nature, the root that made him today.
「Excuse me…」
When he tried to raise his voice-albeit barely audible- Kai Heineman stopped his gait, and turned around,
「Uhm, what’s matter?」
And asked Ramunera and Kirky with a rich expression, befitting that of a genuine human.
「Why did you save us?」
「Did you want to die?」
Seeing Kai Heineman frowned as he asked back to Ramunera,
「No, I don’t mean that! Honestly, I’m really grateful for the fact that you saved us.」
Ramunera denying it, shaking his hands while expressing his gratitude to Kai Heineman.
「Uhm? What’s the meaning of your question then? I mean, what do you really want to ask me?」
「I want to know why, you protected us under such circumtances?」
「Well, I guess because it’ll leave bad after taste in my mouth.」
「That’s all?」
「Are you really surprised with me saving you guys?」
「N-No, it just that…」
Despite his light tone, Ramunera knew that Kai Heineman was the lord of numerous powerful transcendences. He was a league ahead of the balloon like man, the literal strongest transcendence in history.
And that very person himself said that leaving Ramunera and co to die would leave a bad taste in his mouth. That remark was completely different from the remark of a transcendence-basically god-like being- in Ramunera’s imagination.
「Well. If I’m forced to say, the reason why I save you guys are because I’m a human.」
「W-Who are you referring to?」
Ramunera couldn’t help but to ask back upon hearing such ambiguous remark.
「Me.」
「Eh？」
「I said, I AM A HUMAN.」
「Are you joking with us?」
Even Kirky was nodding along, agreeing with Ramunera this time.
「Not you guys too.」
Kai Heineman face palmed, heaving a sigh as if expecting that situation and then,
「From the tip of my hair till the bottom of my feet, I am a genuine human. Whether in the past or present, I’m still a human.」
And said such unbelievable sentence to both Ramunera and Kirky.
But, Ramunera knew from seeing Kai Heineman’s expression and gesture that the man wasn’t lying to them. Or rather, there really was no reason for him to tell a lie to them. Thus, making Ramunera even more confused than before.
「No way, you really are… HUMAN?」
Ramunera couldn’t help but ask for the final confirmation.
「Of course, I’ve been telling you that right? No matter how you look at it, I’m a human.」
If you’re a human, what are us then? Just where do you find a human who can trample down that balloon-like man which felt like an embodiment of despair?
「You really are, a human, right?」
If that’s the case――
「No matter how many times you ask me, my answer remains the same.」
Maybe because Ramunera kept repeating the same question, Kai Heineman who always gave the same answer looked slightly irritated. But, the last confirmation answered Ramunera’s question. If Kai Heineman was truly a human, it means that he――
「Have you exceeded it?」
Asked so in an extremely passionate voice. His body was trembling non-stop, he didn’t even realize that he was starting to cry.
And he understood the reason for his tears. There was no way a martial artists who lived their lives pursuing the pinnacle of their respective path wouldn’t move to tears by this fact.
Same as Pho-san? Are you kidding me? No matter how you look at it, this personage stands on a completely different dimension. This must be the reason why those transcendences referred to him as their Supreme Ruler.
He wasn’t just strong. Despite his human body, this personage had broken through the limit as humans and attained the pinnacle of power in every possible way.
「Exceed? Exceed what?」
「No, it’s nothing, I’ve got the answer I wanted to hear.」
「I-I see.」
Kai was looking at Kirky and Ramunera with a twitched smile on his face but then, he heaved a sigh as if giving up on something,
「You guys too huh…」
And said a remark that telling the two that this wasn’t the first time he saw such case.
Kai escorted Ramunera and Kirky until they arrived in the plaza and vanished by the next moment.
「What will you do after this, Ramunera?」
「You’ve know the answer right?」
For the current Ramunera, his status as six general was nothing more than useless baggage. He had lost all attachment to such empty status. It was replaced by a strong desire to serve under Kai Heineman, serving by his side as his sword and shield.
「Yeah. Since you feel the same, let’s do it together.」
「And that desire are?」
「The desire to serve under Kai-sama.」
Naturally, Ramunera and co didn’t express their intention right away since they knew that Kai wouldn’t accept them right away, at least not when they were still working under Pho. Thus, they planned to prolong their stay in the academy in the name of observation and wait for the right moment for the chance to serve under him.
Moreover, though they barely had any good memories in the empire, it didn’t change the fact that the place was their motherland. They still had to tell the empire that it was impossible to persuade Kai Heineman to join their side.
「Well, let’s start the formal procedure.」
「Yeah.」
Both of them let out a chuckle as they looked at each other, and left the plaza.
At that time, the wind that brushed past Ramunera’s face felt really refreshing, as if it took a load off his shoulders.
When he moved head toward the sobbing voice, he saw Kirky sobbing like a child.
Though he couldn’t ask Kirky what happened since both of them were gagged, he saw that both of them were placed on top of a giant plate in their birthday attire. Kirk herself realized that they’re in huge trouble. As if their situation wasn’t worse enough, their entire body was smeared with some sort of seasoning.
