Chapter 539

Abyss Lord’s Summer Vacation Arc Price of Victory

「……Am I having a nightmare?」

A trembling voice weakly resounded inside the church that was filled with violent combat sound.

It was Inspector Richard.

The space was about a little bit bigger than a tennis court. The height until the ceiling was around a two-storied building. There wasn’t anything like cross or saint statue decorating the building but, there were the remains of long benches and altar scattered around inside the stone building. Originally they must be lined up orderly just like the average church.

He was still on the ground on his butt near the center of the room, unable to do anything except staring at the sight before his eyes in a daze.

His body didn’t even twitch at the slightest, like the nerves in his brain and limbs had gotten severed from too much shock.

It couldn’t be helped. After all in front of this man who hadn’t believe at all in something like occult for more than half a century, a supernatural battle that couldn’t be explained with common sense was unfolding.

「Fuhahahahahahah, too bad! That’s a clone!!」

「The technique is called Kawarimi no Jutsu――guwaaaaah!? This guy, again with my arm!! What the hell with you, that’s just horrible!!」

「Are you alright me! As expected it’s boring after the second time you know!!」

The “something” that was hiding its true identity using a veil of black mist about as big as a large dog was assaulting the young men like a black shadow.

The young man――abyss lord dodged it easily which was an amazing feat but, the monster that was most likely a quadruped type beast also was beyond the norm.

It vanished at the same time when it landed. Right at the instant when he perceived that, the arm of the young man was being bitten off right after he dodged.

Was it a surprise attack from behind? How did it move? Or rather, why wasn’t there any blood even though the young man lost his arm? In the first place were they the same person?

He didn’t understand. Inspector Richard didn’t understand at all!! It felt like he was going to become crazy!

He only managed to somehow surmise, that the monster originally aimed at the young man’s throat, but he somehow sensed it at switched place with his “clone” right before the fangs chewed him up to dodge. That was what he guessed based from the young man’s speech and gesture right after it happened.

That’s impossible……he could only repeat such thought.

He had gone past feeling bewildered to total confusion. As expected perhaps he was really having a bad dream.

But, a part of him that had worked for many years as detective told him that wasn’t the case. And above all else, the overwhelming reality wouldn’t allow him to run away into denial.

「……What in the world, is this」

The beast that was holding the torn off arm in its mouth. Its combat ability was terrifying, but its existence itself played a bigger part in causing revulsion to well up uncontrollably inside himself.

Perhaps the beast was also feeling like that. It spat out the arm in its mouth.

「Haa!? My head is boiling with rage-. You’re the filthy one, not me-!!」

Apparently such act was deplorable for the abyss lord. The fallen arm raised its middle finger as though to say Fu*k You. And then, it vanished with a puff of smoke.

The beast didn’t even show any sign of noticing that. It jumped accurately aiming at the real lord.

At the same time, the clone who had restored his arm also jumped toward it angrily.

Sparks scattered in the air. The monster that seemed to be an animal clashed against the clone’s kunai with what was most likely its fang or claw.

The beast was easily more than two meter tall even seen from the side. Its leap would make even Olympic athlete went pale like ghost. It was clear to see that even just its physical ability was far beyond ordinary human. A dry smile formed on Inspector Richard’s face.

The black mist bounced away even while that was taking place. It landed on some distance away. The clone also firmly landed on the floor with hero pose.

Right after that, the super high speed battle that literally couldn’t be followed by eyes continued.

It was like both sides were switching place with each other in turns from how fast they were moving. It looked like they were teleporting around.

In fact, the lord and the clone were using kunai and coin artifacts to do position switching teleportation during the battle but……

What in the world was the super speed that the black mist was displaying?

Either way in the eyes of ordinary people, both sides were abnormal.

Furthermore, as though to plant that impression even deeper,

Countless black knives suddenly appeared from thin air. As soon as Richard noticed that, they were thrown with speed like bullets. Not only that, they pursued the enemy or else they flew back to their owner. On top of all that, inferno shot up, spears pierced through the stone floor, wind blast blew violently like cannonball, and lightning surged.

「……Haha, both are monster」

The young man had thin presence. Even though he was good in remembering people because of his job, he would inadvertently forget the young man’s existence completely even after the young man had introduced himself. He had lost count how many times he got startled when the young man’s existence was suddenly shown to him.

The Japanese young man was someone extraordinarily bizarre even in his long detective career.

For that young man to split into multiple people……it was the height of bizarreness. But, a sight that left even that peak bizarreness in the dust was unfolding before his eyes.

He had to get away from here……his brain was unable to even work such thought.

This already wasn’t at the level of mere occult. This was already in the realm of fantasy.

He could do nothing except simply sitting still with a dumbfounded expression like an idiot from getting overwhelmed and pressured.

It was then.

「Sir Inspector, it’s dangerous to stay here.」

「Owah!?」

Someone suddenly whispered into his ear. Inspector Richard reflexively jumped to his feet.

A fourth person inside the room was behind him without him noticing.

It seemed that the young man could still multiple. Such thought crossed his mind but he still couldn’t feel convinced.

Because, it was a strange phenomenon. He couldn’t perceive the young man’s face even though he was looking at him from this close. It was in part because of the young man’s somewhat long forelock, but there was also lightly unnaturally shining in from the window which made it terribly hard to look at his face.

No, wait. Come to think of it, today was cloudy wasn’t it? It was daytime but outside should be eerily gloomy……

Inspector Richard unconsciously took a step back.

With that change in position, naturally the angel of his eyesight also changed but……

This time the dust floating in the air reflected the light and the young man’s face looked unclear as expected!!

「D-don’t get any closer to me!!」

「How awful, you talk like I’m a monster!!」

Abyss Lord tearfully covered his face with his hands. Because of that his face couldn’t be seen as expected!! Was it intentional!? Did he hate his face getting seen that much!? Why!?

Inspector Richard was keenly aware that he was feeling spooked.

But he couldn’t even act tough. Even though he could always laugh fearlessly no matter how heinous the criminal that he faced until now!

His hand unconsciously reached toward the holster on his waist. However, the reliable partner who had protected him for more than thirty years until now was gone. He had never felt as forlorn as today by that fact.

Inspector Richard almost fell into panic but, in that moment, a thunderous sound hit his eardrums and his body reflexively ducked.

And then, his gaze unconsciously moved toward the direction where the sound came from.

「Finally a direct hit.」

「That true form enveloped in jet black veil! Now it shall be dragged under the sunlight――aw yuck that’s disgusting-」

For some reason the number two clone today sometimes would talk with effeminate tone. Was it the effect of interacting with the manly goddess of the fairy world not long ago? Or else, was it a new stage of “Abyss Lord”?

Hinata and co who were observing the situation inside like a totem pole from the entrance door were looking at each other. They had to interrogate it out of him later. Depending on the situation they got to question Blau-tan too.

In any case, the attacker――the dog-like monster clad in black mist was fully hit by physical & magical shockwave after it was guided toward the explosive booby trap that the lord was secretly planting. It was staggering in pain from the damage while its figure was laid bare from behind the veil.

「「「「「Uu」」」」」

Hinata and co reflexively groaned. Everyone other than Hidzuki spontaneously pressed their hands on their mouth or averting their gaze. As though they were holding back the urge to vomit. Agent K even actually got on all fours and vomited hard.

Hidzuki herself was grimacing even if she didn’t look like she wanted to vomit.

That was just how hideous the beast was. No, in the end should it really be called a beast……

The monster looked horribly unrealistic even though it was right before their eyes. It was like they were looking at a ghost body.

But, if they were forced to describe how it looked, perhaps it ought to be described like thick soup with ultramarine color that was then compressed and hardened into the shape of dog. However, no organ like eye or nose or ear could be identified from it.

Parts of it also looked like to have hard texture. Like its fangs and claws, and also the tip of its long tongue that turned and twisted bizarrely was sharp like needle. Looking closer, it seemed to have hole opened in it like it was an injection needle.

In addition it was oozing out a terrible stench. It was like the smell of rotten egg concentrated, or perhaps like the smell of highly concentrated ammonia. The irritating odor was hard to describe.

The veil that was like black mist was a saving grace in a sense.

After all it covered up the nightmarish look and smell that felt like it was whittling down human’s mind just from watching it.

「……Well well well……that’s quite an abominable look you have there」

Even the abyss lord’s expression was unusually stiff. His instinct was screaming at him.

This thing was hopeless. This thing couldn’t be.

He didn’t know the reason but, his instinct simply whispered that to him.

「K-Kou-sama! That……that thing is wrong! It has to be exterminated!」

It seemed even Hinata who possessed excellent intuition also felt the same.

Why did she feel like that? Surely even Hinata herself was also unable to explain it.

Rather than intuition, this was already an instinctual feeling of revulsion, or perhaps feeling of rejection. Of what……yes, if they were forced to describe it then perhaps they would say that it felt like “an existence that deviated from the rule of this world”.

「……It’s too much of an unknown, I say.」

Actually the lord was taking wait-and-see approach. It could also be said that he was testing it.

Because he had heard from Takehiko the story of the monster that stole his arm.

Takehiko and others were also attacked when they came investigating the inside of this church lookalike.

Takehiko tended to get his arm taken away but, his strength was the real thing. There was no way the head of Tsuchimikado clan was weak. That was even more true for the present time when he had accumulated real battle experience.

In fact, anyone other than Takehiko would simply die without even realizing it if they were the one attacked.

The barrier that he was deploying in advance stopped this monster’s movement for an instant. He had the “Shiki” that was his trump card hidden in his pocket just in case, and the intuition of a first class Onmyouji even if it was inferior compared to Hinata.

His life would have been lost if he lacked even one of them. It was exactly because it was Takehiko that he barely managed to twist his body and got away with only losing one arm.

Further, there was no doubt that he managed to survive even after that due to continuously choosing the best hand available to him.

Agent J made the quick decision that “they ought to run out to the open” when faced against unknown attacker, and Kiyotake wasn’t stingy with unleashing waves of “Shiki” to delay the beast monster just a little with quantity. That was how they managed to escape the church.

In addition, was the “luck” that for some reason this beast monster didn’t’ come chasing until outside the church.

These too were factors where Takehiko at the very least would definitely lose his life if even a single one of them were lacking.

Getting back on topic.

(Terrifying elusiveness and speed. The only ones here who can face it are only Hidzuki or me. Even a first rate assassin will go deathly pale from its danger. It can’t be allowed to get away no matter what.)

He asked Hinata to stay nearby during his treatment for Takehiko was exactly as countermeasure against this monster’s elusiveness. Because he thought that she might be able to sense it beforehand if it was with her intuition.

Though in reality, its appearing and moving speed after appearance were too fast that in the first place no warning would make it in time……

(Why didn’t it give chase until outside the church? Even now it shows no sign of targeting anyone else than me. Is it leaving the outside to the ghoul swarm? What’s their relation? Is this thing the mastermind? Is there more of it?)

There was no end to the puzzle. But, the unfeasibility of communicating with it had been confirmed from his testing it many times during the battle. In the first place it didn’t even look like it had any intelligence.

Surely it would be impossible to ask anything from this beast monster. Strategy like intentionally letting it got away to see where it came from and whether there was a mastermind behind it would be too dangerous.

And most of all his instinct was telling him. This existence before his eyes ought to be finished off with certainty, right here right now.

「Well, I’ve obtained the minimum required information. Let’s not get too greedy.」

Therefore, the lord exhaled a short breath to let go.

「How about we bring down the closing curtain soon!」

The thing had fought this long against the battle-worn abyss lord. There was no way he hadn’t obtained the minimum information――seen through the secret of its elusiveness and super speed.

Because he had seen through it, no, exactly because he had seen through it that this opponent became even more terrifying. However, the lord adapted.

With the simplest as well most efficient method!

「「「「HAAAH!!」」」」

The abyss lord and three clones yelled loudly!!

「「「Kyaah」」」

「「Hohou?」」

Hinata, Claudia, and unexpectedly Zhu raised their voice cutely. Vanessa and Hidzuki raised their voice with a wide grin.

And then, as for the males,

「「「「W-why did you strippp!!?」」」」

A loud tsukkomi surged out.

Yes, right now four abyss lords wearing only underpants were lining up at the battlefield! While making chuuni pose each!

Not even a single thread covered their skin, however, only the trademark sunglasses were still being worn. However, they weren’t the usual sharp shaped sunglasses, but round shaped.

A single underpants, round shaped sunglasses, posing……

Such sight was without a doubt,

「「P-perveeeeeeeeeert!!」」

That. Agent J and K seemed to be at the height of bewilderment.

By the way, Mr. Kousuke was in the boxer briefs faction. Today it was grey.

Hinata-chan & Claudia-chan & Zhu-chan were synchronized in how they covered their face with both hands, while also doing the cliché “Peeking from between the fingers!”.

The lords Fuh-ed to those onlookers while also tossing his “Treasure Warehouse” to Claudia and,

「「Futon――Shikkoku no Daisenpuu(Raging Lamentation of the Abys)!!」」 (TN: Shikkoku no Daisenpuu = Jet Black Great Whirlwind)

Two clones stood back to back while doing Side Chest posing symmetrically. Of course, there was no need to do such posing to cast the magic.

Rather, it worsened the situation. Due in part of the angles of their arms and legs, it made it looked like they weren’t wearing anything!!

「「Be at ease!! We’re still wearing it!!」」

「Shut up!!」

「What the hell are you showing Ohii-sama!!」

The Tsuchimikado father and son raise their eyes angrily. It was proper for them to get angry. The Ohii-sama in question was stealing glances with bright red face though.

Zhu-san yelled 「It’s still too early for kid!」 and covered Hinata’s eyes from behind with her hands. What a respectable adult.

And as expected from Hinata-chan. Recently she sometimes showed the bad influence that she got from Myuu, however, apparently she hadn’t lost her pureness just from that.

As the one in charge of the purity and elegance role between the little girls trio, she obediently accepted the blinder. ……Her fingers looked like they were forming sword handsign for an instant there was surely just everyone’s imagination, no doubt about it.

In any case, the abyss-style wind element(Side Chest) magic generated a tornado. The wreckage of long benches scattered around were all hoisted up and destroyed a part of the ceiling while being tossed outside.

Inspector Richard was also subsequently blown away. The lord grabbed his collar and tossed him toward the entrance. The inspector flew horizontally with nice speed thanks to the gust’s tailwind too.

「Gyaaaaah」 He screamed and Agent J hurriedly opened the half-opened door. And then, a crash. It seemed he tried to catch him. Both let out a stifled voice 「「Gueh!?」」 and rolled on the ground while hugging each other like good friends.

「Fuh, it feels liberating now. It must be difficult for you to move around too wasn’t it?」

It felt like the space had gotten much more spacious.

And then, perhaps the cloudy sky had cleared up slightly, or perhaps the gust of wind just now had opened a hole in the cloud, sunlight passed through the hole in the ceiling and shined in……

The four perverts shined. Illuminated by the sun spotlight――the angel’s ladder.

Of course, they didn’t forget posing while standing back to back. The clones at left and right were in the hero landing pose, the front lord was spreading his arms and legs widely as though fully bathing himself in the light of the sun, while the clone at the back was forming T shape.

Seen from the front, it was like the famous human body diagram that Leonardo Da Vinci drew……

It was art――no, as expected no matter how many mental gymnastic was used they still looked like pervert.

Claudia who was trying to make excuse inside her heart like that accepted the reality.

Right after that, the beast monster who seemed to recover from the explosion’s damage started moving once more.

「Kousuke-san! Here is my panty! Please use it!!」

Vanessa apparently had stripped it before anyone realized. She tossed the unexpectedly cute pure white panty with small ribbon attached. Just like a certain jam type uncle throwing it to the head of a bread type hero!

「What’re you saying!?」 Zhu-san made a sharp tsukkomi. Everyone was completely in agreement with her.

「Don’t you know! You must’ve understand from looking his current appearance! If it’s the current Kousuke-san……he’ll power up by wearing panty in his head!!」

「Is that so!? That’s too perverse it’s scary-」

「Wait Vanessaaa!? I know it’s weird for me to say while looking like this but, don’t add in strange setting like――guwaaaaaah!?」

Vanessa’s words made Mr. Kousuke reflexively returned to normal to say a tsukkomi. As expected it seemed he couldn’t overlook it. Because Hinata-chan was going 「Eh, lies……Kou-sama is……」 with air of bewilderment when she heard that!

Of course, he let his guard down too much.

The hand that caught Vanessa panty got chewed off.

It was fortunate that he had switched place with a clone just before catching it. Vanessa screamed 「Aa!? It’s eating my panty!? This damned lewd beast-」 to curse the culprit――the beast monster.

For now, Claudia shut her up. She hit her with her holy cross.

「Sorry but, I have seen through the trick behind your mysterious teleportation.」

「I also know the precursor for it.」

「In addition you monster, is unable to get out from this church as I thought.」

「Furthermore the reason you are only targeting this me……is something that I still don’t know, but it’s convenient for this me.」

「「「「I have seen through everything!!」」」」

The beast monster ran around in super high speed. To ordinary person, the speed was at the level where it only looked like a single black streak. It wasn’t only the lord who could move around unimpeded with the space widened.

But,

「The level is low but, that speed……is “Godspeed” right?」

The lord smoothly dodged the beast monster’s jaw that targeted only the lord’s main body accurately, somehow.

Yes, there was no way it could bite the clone’s arm several times with just elusiveness. The monster’s attacks, including the first surprise attack couldn’t be dodged perfectly because of its abnormal pace.

That meant, it was because this beast monster was using regeneration magic “Godspeed” that provided it with aberrant moving speed by speeding up its normal movement, and shrinking the moving time between two points.

But, the abyss lord was familiar with the speed of Kaori who specialized in that magic the most.

The beast had shown too much as expected.

「I told you I’ve seen through it!!」

The pillar, wall, ceiling……the beast monster sprinted freely on all kinds of surface with super speed, looking for an opening. The lord voluntarily leaped into those countless running black streaks.

Both sides crossed midair. Instantly, the bizarre tongue accurately shot toward the lord’s heart.

It was dodged with a twist of the body.

Sharp claw was swung in no time at all as though that evasion was already anticipated.

It was midair. Normally it would be impossible to dodge. However, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call the lord as something the furthest removed from normality. Therefore.

He stepped on the floating dust to subtly changed his trajectory. With such stunt, he dodged even the beast’s second move. Not only that, as they passed his right fist filled with soul magic “Soul Impact” struck at the monster’s backbone.

The body’s texture was flabby. He didn’t feel any bone. But, the fist’s impact power was sufficient.

The beast was struck down to the ground. The stone floor wasn’t cracked from the impact. It was the beast’s body that squelched and splattered around with a visceral sound. Just like slime.

There was no scream. The beast hadn’t growled even once until now. It must be lacking the organ to make a sound.

But, reverberation that denoted anguish was definitely audible. It felt like it resounded directly inside the brain, giving the listener horrible grating feeling. It was a repulsive cry that felt like it would bring about alteration to the mind if they listened to it many times.

Hinata and others grimaced and reflexively covered their ears.

The beast got up――was something that didn’t happen. But it also hadn’t died.

The flesh that splattered like slime got enveloped in black smoke. And then, vanished.

The next instant, underneath the lord’s feet just before he landed――one of the stone block covering the surface looked like there was black smoke slightly drifting out from its edges. Then right away a largely opened jaw flew out.

The trick of the beast’s elusiveness that the lord had seen through, he didn’t understand the principle behind it but it was space teleportation that made use of acute angle below ninety degrees.

Considering that it never appeared from the acute angle of bone inside the body or from inside the piled up long benches, most likely it needed sufficient space from where it appeared. But, conversely speaking, it could appear even from the tip of the knife he held as long as there was enough space.

Therefore, the lord stripped! By no means it was because he got awakened to exhibitionism!! (by the heart’s Kousuke)

「Fuh, in the end you’re just a beast. An unthinking enemy is not a threat!!」

It seemed the depth was deepening. Speech-wise.

In that case, in front of a technique that he understood the trick behind it, there was no way the lord with his current depth would be caught unaware.

Gravity shell “Black Ball” that he was activating beforehand turned the beast into stain on the ground once more.

But, apparently it didn’t die as expected. The beast got enveloped in black smoke once more and vanished. And then, black smoke slightly drifted out from a part of the ceiling this time. It appeared from there.

It clung upside down on the ceiling warily while glaring at the lord. He couldn’t see anything like eyes from it but, it was definitely glaring at him.

Ultramarine colored thick soup dripped down from inside its mouth as though searching for prey. Horrible stench filled the room.

The lord grasped something from that posture.

「I see……your behavioral principle is appetite. You’re hungry huh.」

It wanted to devour the lord at all costs. It didn’t matter how wide the gap of strength between the two. It simply wished to satisfy its hunger with the finest quality prey!!

Even though its ecology was far apart from living thing in general, the beast’s behavioral principle was truly biological.

「But it’s unfortunate. That hunger won’t be fulfilled. I’ve told you right? It’s time to close the curtain.」

The lord fuh-ed and snapped his fingers.

「「「――”Kokumetsu no Shin’en Rou(Endlessly Deep Prison of Abyss)”!!」」」(TN: Black Annihilation’s Abyss Prison)

At the center inside the church, a black sphere formed in the air.

It was hard to comprehend due to the abyss-style naming but, it was a “partial Black Sky Destitution”.

While the main body was facing the beast monster, the three clones worked together chanting the spell and doing control – adjustment so the magic wouldn’t affect the area outside the church.

Black lightning sparked. Wind violently whirled.

The ceiling got peeled off starting from the part where there was a hole opened. The star of death granting absolute annihilation was swallowing them up.

The beast monster must also feeling the threat instinctually. It teleported to the end of the church but,

「Fuhahah, pointless!!」

The magic’s effective range was the whole church. The plan was to finish off the beast monster together with the church.

Perhaps the church lookalike could provide a clue for the investigation, but the building itself could be restored using regeneration magic. Therefore, the lord prioritized finishing off the beast who seemed unable to get out from the church without fail.

At first he also considered the plan to lock the beast in a spherical space of super compression using “Severance Calamity”. But, the monster was able to meddle with space and time though imperfectly. Perhaps it might even have ally or string puller behind it.

If he wanted to play it safe, than as expected his only option was using his ultimate skill to finish it off without fail.

The stone floor, the pillars, the wall, they all got peeled off, lifted up, or smashed apart one after another.

The three clones too, they confirmed that they were managing the magic’s effective time precisely and gave the main body thumb up before getting swallowed up too.

Of course, the main body also wouldn’t be unscathed but he showed no sign of retreating.

Even knowing that the beast monster was unable to get out from the church, it was still nothing more than a hypothesis. In addition it was also a user of “Godspeed” even if far below Kaori’s level.

He had told Hinata and others beforehand to keep some distance, even so in order to keep the monster within the range of “Black Sky Destitution” that had its effective range barrowed down to a localized area without risking it getting away, the lord himself needed to stay almost within the effective range in order to draw its attention to him as the prey it was obsessed with.

Therefore, it came to this situation.

「Aaah, you must not-. Kou-sama, this is troubling-. Aah, Kou-sama! You must not-」

Hinata-chan was heavily shaken. No, it wasn’t just Hinata.

While the door’s hinge was broken and it flew inside, Claudia also put up a barrier just in case while her cheeks were reddening in embarrassment.

「Aaah, Kousuke-sama’s underwear! It’s coming off bit by bit-」

Yes, the lord also being inside the effective range meant that was also getting exposed to the intense sucking power.

Naturally, in order to brace himself he was facing toward the entrance while keeping his posture low, but the terrifying sucking force of “Black Sky Destitution” was also tearing down the lord’s last fortress!

His pants was getting pulled away bit by bit, bit by bit from his waist!

He wanted to hold it with his hand, but as expected even the abyss lord needed to brace himself by grabbing the ground with both hands if he didn’t want to get sucked away. In other words, he couldn’t prevent it!

「Hah!? I’m seeing Kousuke-san’s half-exposed buttock after waking up!? ……Fumu, like always it’s a nicely muscular buttock!! It’s so cool!」

「Art that what you think? For me it looks cute instead♪」

「What’re you guys talking about! He’s just a pervert no matter how you look at him!」

Takehiko and others were all in agreement with Zhu-san’s tsukkomi. However, Zhu-san herself was blushing red while staring fixedly at the lord’s buttock that was gradually changing from being half-exposed to fully exposed though.

Whether he could hear those voices of the onlookers or not,

The pants was heroically hanging on as though to say 「At least not my lord’s crotch!」 with devotion, however, the lord didn’t look like he even paid that any attention.

「Muh! I see, you monster. It’s not that you can’t get out……」

The building was already gone. Everything was swallowed up. There wasn’t even a single pebble on the ground. The hard ground was peeled off as though it had gotten plowed. Soft soil was upturned.

In other words, there was already no acute angle that the beast monster could use as starting point. It could only brace itself on the ground while also creating tentacles from its body to anchor itself on the ground.

It was the result of its desire to devour the abyss lord despite the approaching threat, making it hesitated to retreat. It went truly like the abyss lord intended.

The beast monster was continuing to direct its appetite toward the lord even in this situation, however, apparently it finally accepted that it wouldn’t be unable to eat after reaching this point right now.

For an instant, it turned its gaze toward a spot that was formerly the back of the church as though in hesitation. Then next it looked at the opposite direction.

All along it was near the wall. If it walked two~three steps to that direction then it would be at a spot that was originally outside the church.

The beast monster planted its feet and started advancing toward that direction. Then, the tip of its nose gradually faded as though it was dissolving to thin air.

Perhaps, it wasn’t that it was unable to get out of the church, but it would be unable to maintain its corporeal body if it got out……

Either way.

「I won’t let you!!」

The abyss lord didn’t allow it. Thinking that perhaps something like this would happen, he activated the soul magic “Soul Impact” that he was kneading up without even using gravity magic to keep himself planted on the ground.

「It’s already proven that this move is effective.」

Invisible shockwave spread out explosively. The beast monster was helpless against that attack that directly struck at the soul.

A shriek that was like a discordant non-voice spread out. The beast monster jerked and convulsed. Its body staggered, perhaps because its consciousness was cut off for a moment.

It was astonishing that its consciousness wasn’t completely gone, however, that was enough.

The tentacles slipped out from the ground. Its legs floated.

「You’re finished.」

The abyss lord’s figure vanished. He escaped with teleportation that switched his position with the kunai that he threw outside the effective range.

He Fuh-ed and made a chuuni pose.

Behind him, the beast monster let out a shriek that churned up human’s mind while getting swallowed into the strongest death star and vanished.

The “Black Sky Destitution” rapidly shrank down.

At the end it let out black sparks and vanished into thin air. With that sight as the background, the lord performed a sharp turn and fuh-ed to his friends who were watching from the distance.

He also didn’t forget to brush up his hair, put his hand on his waist, and made a chuuni pose.

Seeing that, the people who idolized him――

「Kyaaaaaaah」

「Fu, F-F-Fu, Fujiwara Hinata! D-don’t look! It’s still too early for you-」

「What the hell are you showing to Ohii-sama-. I’ve misjudged you-, Kousuke-kun!!」

「As an uncle, I simply can’t overlook this no matter what-」

「Oh my♪ Mine beloved……you art so bold♪」

Made a loud ruckus. Even Agent J and K were muttering 「T-too obscene-. So this is the right-hand man of that demon god……」 with a creeped out look.

Why were they reacting so?

It was obvious. Claudia yelled the reason frankly. While blushing bright red.

「Kousuke-samaaa-. ――Please cover up-」

It was because he was in a non-reassuring state. Yes, the last fortress(pants) finally left its lord at the last moment and shared the same fate with the beast monster.

In other words, the lord right now was completely a member of the naked tribe!!

The lordification gradually lifted up. He felt chill on his skin. Especially around his crotch.

Kousuke, sloo~owly turned his gaze below. His treasured son, was certainly exposed to the public view in all its glory.

Mr. Kousuke swiftly pressed his legs together and used his hands to hide his crotch while collapsing down. With feebleness like a girl who was assaulted by a thug.

Right after that, a trembling voice spoke up.

「……Pants, please……」

The figure just screamed invulnerability that garnered pity. It was to the degree that everyone spontaneously stopped making a ruckus in sympathy.

Claudia who was entrusted with the “Treasure Warehouse” hurriedly ran toward him.

Meanwhile, Kousuke strongly made a resolve. While enduring the piercing pain that was stinging more than usual……
