"Chiek..."
galoblatta’s antennae stiffened as he wobbled to his feet, his right arm hanging limply by his hip, a searing pain terrorizing his senses whenever it swayed.
He snapped his mandibles and his breathing grew to be erratic, like the panting of a spoiled child about to throw a fit
Sothing about Charymos’s glare swirled an abundant rage within him, because even now that he had been Nad, the Kraken Spawn saw him rely as a pest, a sentient piece of excrent.
Why? What had he and his kin done to earn Charymos’s ire, that he would sacrifice thousands of them as if they were rely livestock that existed for his whims?
Rather, why was he the only one that was spared? Why is it that he was born only to exist as soone else’s folly, burdened with the hell that was the deaths of his kind?
More than Charymos, galoblatta loathed himself for surviving. But could he not have simply begged to die with his kin?
His own cowardice and selfish desire to live tornted him more than anything else.
"I hate you, Lord Charymos! Why did you have to kill everyone?!"
Those words escaped with drops of blood from galoblatta’s mandibles.
"Join the fucking line. Also, do not refer to as your Lord. I have no use for betrayers."
Charymos replied shruggingly.
"Why did you spare only ?! What did I do to deserve this hell that you have put through?!"
galoblatta’s wobbling ceased, replaced by a trembling fury.
"Why? Why not?"
Charymos raised his middle finger.
"Also, were you not the one who had just complained that talking this much during battle was strange? And yet here you are, running your mouth. Shut the fuck up and co at ."
Charymos took one step forward, close enough that galoblatta was within his range.
"..."
The insectoid agreed in silence, the wings on his back vibrating intensely, releasing a frequency that would liquify bone marrow.
Ta!
galoblatta charged, and in response, Charymos thrust his trident, aiming for the abdon.
Fwish!
galoblatta perford a rapid sidestep, leaving Charymos’s trident to skewer an afterimage, and in that sa instance, he executed a spinning heel kick aid at the temple.
Fwosh!
Charymos deftly bent his posture, the kick whizzing above him at a speed greater than any arrow ever loosened. Less than a split second later, the Kraken Spawn gripped the shaft of his trident with both hands and rotated it with all the strength that he could muster —Unleashing its base at a great force aid at galoblatta’s raised thigh.
POW!
Brrr—rrap!
Charymos failed to strike true and instead struck the ground, causing it to tremble as galoblatta beat his wings to escape into the air.
■■■■Summon High Intrusion: Macropanesthia Gattling!■■■■
As soon as that spell was cast, a great magic circle appeared before galoblatta, one that had three more, intricate circles within it.
TRRR—TA!
TRRR—TA!
TRRR—TA!
The magic circle spun, raining down literal bullets made from the hardest cockroaches in existence.
■■■■ Kraken’s Sneeze! ■■■■
In response, Charymos waved both of his hands, unleashing droplets of sli that were akin to steel balls into the air, and each and everyone of them multiplied into thousands more.
TINK!
TINK!
TINK!
The two spells collided in mid-air, sli bashing into cockroach bullets, producing a sound that would convince anyone in the far distance that two armies were crossing swords.
Clang! Clang!
Charymos calmly, yet swiftly parried any of the cockroach bullets that ca near him, yet his eyes never once left galoblatta, in fact, he dared not to even blink.
Brr—rrap!
galoblatta swiftly evaded Charymos’s sli and circled the Kraken Spawn like a vulture having spotted a carcass.
■■■■■ Summon Greater Intrusion: Falx Periplaneta! ■■■■■
As he continued circling, he cast that spell and two greater magic circles with four inner circles appeared on each of his sides, and two evolved versions of the Falx Periplaneta sprung forth.
One of the summons followed him as he circled, and the other allowed gravity to claim its being and imdiately attacked Charymos as it landed on the ground.
"Sigh... Are you looking down on ?"
Charymos, seeing the summoned creature charge toward him, rolled his eyes and condensed sli to the tip of his trident, before holding it as though he was about to swing it like a bat.
■■■■ Leviathan’s Maw! ■■■■
Charymos swung his trident and expelled the sli at incredible speed, boasting a sharpness that would put even a highly pressurized water jet to sha.
The summon was instantly sliced in half —No, not just the summon, but the walls themselves were sliced cleanly and echoes of the sli’s destruction could be heard in the distance.
"Chiek."
Crack, squelch!
galoblatta robbed the Falx Periplaneta that had been following him of its praying mantice-like scythe and dove toward Charymos.
CLAAAANG!!
They clashed in rapid succession, so rapid in fact, that one could not make out if they were exchanging multiple blows or if it was a single clash since the deafening sound had grown to be linear.
[!!]
As they continued their sowhat even brawl, Charymos saw an opening and struck galoblatta’s limp right arm with the shaft of his trident.
"Argh!!!"
galoblatta scread in agony, causing Charymos’s heart to leap in elation.
Charymos grabbed galoblatta’s right arm, twisted it and...
"Aaahhh!!!"
The insectoid could not help but scream, his exposed inner flesh being twisted like that was a pain re words could never do justice.
POW! THONK! THONK!
...Charymos struck galoblatta repeatedly with the shaft of his trident, and not once did he let go of his right arm.
galoblatta attempted to beat his wings to escape, but Charymos kicked him in crotch as hard as he could, dragging him back down and causing him to drop the scythe.
"Where the fuck are you going?! Don’t you want revenge?! Huh?!"
Thonk! Thonk!
Charymos struck galoblatta until he brought him to his knees.
Defiant, the insectoid quickly rose to his feet to muster a counterattack only to be struck back down with a force much greater than before.
"Your death shan’t be painless. You should have continued existing beneath as you were, that was rcy!!"
Charymos twisted galoblatta’s arm to an extre degree and hoisted him up like a hunter preparing to flay his kill.
Squelch...
Sli dripped from the Kraken Spawn and covered the entirety of his trident.
Vrrrrrr!!
The trident gained imnse rotation but did not scatter any of the sli nor did it deter him from holding it steady.
He then coiled his elbow, steadying his aim.
"..."
His eyes grew cold as he watched galoblatta writh in pain, not a single ounce of rcy or remorse visible in his eyes.
■■■■ Scylla’s coil.■■■■
Vrrrr!!!
The instant he cast that spell, the trident spun even more, reaching speeds of about 100 000 rotations per second, and it looked more like a lance now as it had the illusion of a pointed tip.
Then he slowly...
Drrrrrr!!!!
... With a sadistic smirk on his face, he began to drill at galoblatta’s chest.
"Aaaargh!!!!!!!!"
galoblatta wailed with his mandibles facing the heavens. Despite the durability of his jet-black exoskeleton, it was reduced to nothing but molten slag in the face of Charymos’s spell
Seeing as he would soon pierce his heart, Charymos’s bit his lower lip in great anticipation.
[!!]
But suddenly!
Charymos saw a blinding light suddenly abound in intensity, investigating the source, he beheld the Roach’s left arm glowing bright as though embraced by the plasma of a dying star.
[D-damn it!]
Charymos quickly thrust his weapon forward to finish him off, but galoblatta dislocated his right arm —Despite it still being in Charymos’s grasp —to perform a flip to evade.
Crack!!
Charymos let go of the arm to take a step back.
Brr—rrap!
galoblatta, still suspended in mid-air, beat his wings to close the distance between them, he then used his dislocated arm to grab the tentacles on Charymos’s chin, pulling him closer.
■■■■■Alpheidae Detonare!■■■■■
With a flash and a —
BOOOOOOM!!
...galoblatta struck Charymos square in the face, resulting in a mushroom cloud of flas that rose to the First Floor through the gaping hole above them, so of the flas entered the passageways of the Basent Floor, devouring anything and everything until they reached all the way down to Charymos’s chambers.
