Revi’s PoV:
After I left those perverted idiots behind, it didn’t take much ti to find the target...but I have my doubts here. Is that the agent? It looks quite different from what I imagined it to be.
No, isn’t it just a regular old, albeit big, Sli!? It’s no different from Kaimana in the lake-part of Damavand! Though, it is more yellow than Kaimana.
Huh? Wait, didn’t Garami say sothing about the agents being all Curse Creatures? Why a Sli? Or is it a Curse Creature that just looks like a Sli? And it’s...not going llow over those thin books. There’s sothing it’s obsessed with over there at least...trash?
No, it rather looks like those tal things that can be found in Damavand...or, they look like the parts of the destroyed cha-chas that black clown from Tir na Nog commanded.
Argh, I’m not getting anywhere like this! [Identification], do your worst!

Iik! It did its worst for real! What is this thing!? Oh, right. It’s not a Sli. Got it.
It’s too busy looking at those weird parts, aning I could hit it with a surprise attack, right? Slis are generally the worst to fight against anyway, so let’s use a little Witchcraft here to take the Death Spear spell and convert so of its instant-death rates into pure power and...FIRE!
The spear of black miasma shot out from the customized magic circle and struck the sli! And it didn’t take long for the sli to start lting!
I won! Maybe these Curse Creatures are naturally weak to magic? That explains why they live down here. Not that it is doing them any good! This bracelet Garami gave puts a stop to that strate...gy...
Huh? What the heck? The sli’s getting back up on its...feet? Hey, you were hit with an attack-specialized Death spell! Why are you shrugging it off like it was nothing!? Identification and...whoa-!

"..." - Sli
Geh!? It’s looking at ! It’s seriously locked-on to ! But it’s not preparing to attack? Let’s use the chance to find more about it. Its Skill List is...just a ss, but maybe examining its race could give so light on the situation?
IDENTIFICATION RESULT:
Race:Selfish Creep: Happiness
Type:Curse Creature
Attribute:Curse, Lightning
Description:
A Curse Creature that is considered the strongest of its vile kind. Also dubbed "the enemy of amusent".
This Curse Creature is born from the deprived desires of what people refer to as "otaku". Specifically, only those of that breed whose greed and desires are...especially depraved.
Those that enjoy the suffering of the innocent, watching people’s life beco ruined for no good reason, the humiliation of others...all these wicked thoughts would gather together into forming what appears to be a harmless, albeit big, sli at first, but it is a "sothing" with enough wickedness to make even the Ultimate Goddess of Darkness want to have nothing to do with it.
After capturing a victim it finds "enjoyable", it will latch its slimy tentacles and connect itself to the victim’s nervous system to control them like a puppet and have them perform "acts" that it finds enjoyable, all while forcing the victim’s HP to stay full, never letting the poor victim rest, eat, or sleep until the Curse Creature is bored with them..., sothing that is not likely to happen.
While in battle, if it is "amused" or feeling "excited", it is granted the ability to "eat" damage and recover HP, MP, and SP. An ability that is closely related to the Seven Sin skill, [Gluttony].
"A pervert!?" - Revi
I couldn’t stop myself from shouting out as I read the Identification Results. Well, I could be wrong...please say I am wrong.
"...loli." - Sli
"What?" - Revi
"Loli-witch with ssy, green hair, so moe~! And dragon horns, moe~~! I wanna sll her, I wanna taste her, I wanna look at her all day~! I wanna stalk her, I wanna steal her clothes, I wanna sniff her underwear~! I wanna break her fingers, I wanna strangle her throat, I wanna see her face be warped by pain and fear and drink her tears and snot~! I wanna dress her up, I wanna see her act, I wanna see her be humiliated in front of everyone she holds dear~! I wanna-" - Sli
Gueh-!? Huh, what the-? Oh, Walaphiris!! My trusty cursed witch hat! He used his Spectral Hand to drag away from that...that...that creep! Hii!! It’s following us!
I turned around and started to run for my dear, DEAR life! Activate [Energy Warfare] and [Mystic Warfare]! Also, [Dragon Power]!! I have to run! Run, run, run, run, run, RUN!!
"Oh, Revi-chan. Where did you-WHAT THE HECK’S THAT!?" - Grunt
Ah, I’ve returned to the idiots-, no, the brave warriors who took up their weapons when they saw I was chased by that.
"Hey, Miss Revi found the agent for us! Ti to earn our pay, guys!" shouted the tiger Beastkin as he transford into a gigantic tiger...HE DID WHAT?!
While I wanted to stop and ask, being too close to that creepazoid-sli is too much for my ntality!
I hid behind one of the buildings while the officer-tiger and the grunts started to attack the creepazoid-sli, followed up by one of the grunts coming here and hiding with . Are they here to explain, or ask what that thing is?
"Phew...safe." - Female grunt
It was neither! But I can’t bla her for wanting to hide. That thing is an enemy to all humanity, especially won!
"...since you’re already here, explain the monster-tiger that is trying to make the world a better place over there, please." - Revi
"Huh? Oh, commander Naitotaigā? He’s a mutant! Understand that!" shouted the female grunt. She must still feel so panic.
"Listen, you tell what is going here, now." - Revi
"Y-yes...just stop squeezing my head..." said the grunt who was feeling Walaphiris’ iron claw. Since she was going to tell , I had Wala release her.
"Ouch...it’s just Naitotaigā using his transformation skill alongside his mutation genes. It’s common among the higher brass. Get that already...OUCH, OUCH, OUCH!" - Female grunt
That’s it, Wala! Give her so discipline!
Still, "mutation"? Mutation, as in, becoming sothing else? Like evolution? No, it feels different...
After releasing the girl from Wala again, I had her tell all about what "mutation" was. To summarize, it’s sothing like this:
One of the highest brass of the Babel organization has studied Growth Chiras enough to invent "mutation" for non-Chiras. It’s also thanks to that guy’s research and compassion for the Growth Chira that made them start to recruit and protect the Chiras...
Wait a sec. Did she just tell that Lily was saved because of this mutation researcher? Ah, there’s more to the story:
Mutation does not give you an instant increase in stats, but it does grant you the traits of that monster, such as giving a human the appearance of a Beastkin for example... The more profitable gains are that you can buy skills normally limited to that monster’s race (in the sa fashion as how Garami can buy Dragon-type skills, I guess?) and that attributes related to that creature will be enhanced. Oh, and that you can transform into the real monster if you have the right transformation-type skill, from the looks of that tiger-guy fighting over there.
The downside is that you will gain the sa weaknesses as the monster you mutated into...I guess? The grunt girl hasn’t heard of any other problems related to mutation...but there is no guarantee that Filyn isn’t hiding them. I don’t like her. She’s too...cuddly. *Brr*, I rembered sothing nasty...
"Aaargh!"
Geh! While we were trying to escape from reality, tiger-guy and the grunts are being beaten black and blue! The sli is taking damage too, but it’s not slowing down...why’s it turning pink? No, I don’t want to know...
"Is that sli immortal or sothing!?" - Female grunt
"Only while it’s excited..." - Revi
"Huh?" - Female grunt
"[Identification] said so. That it was a creature that recovers from damage while excited..." - Revi
"Then...the reason why it has turned pink is-" - Female grunt
"Don’t say it! Please don’t say anything more than that!" - Revi
"O-okay...then should we scare that flan...?" - Female grunt
Scaring it? True, it wouldn’t be all pink in its head, aning that our attacks wouldn’t be "eaten", but scaring that abomination of a deviant...is that even possible?
"...ah! I can do that! Tell the tiger-guy to lead the sli...over there! Underneath that bridge. And make sure nobody is on that street when the "Queen" arrives," I told the grunt while pointing at a bridge that went above a wide street.
After the grunt gave a thumbs-up and started to spread the plan to the other combatant, I started to run toward the bridge. I know I said I would use Dejidem’s secret weapon the first mont I got the chance, but to have to use it already...
While running, I started to lay traps in the form of my various Swamp-related skills and the [Delayed Activation] skill I had brought recently just for an occasion like this. So vines here, a few bog holes there...
When I reached the bridge, I climbed up its stairs and started to draw a magic circle for [Witchcraft: Undead Spirits] while chugging down an MP Potion I had forgotten in the [Mirror Storage]. My creation.
The spells of this style of Witchcraft can bring forth Ghosts to do my bidding, like with Garami’s Necromancy skills. The downside is that I can only bring one ghost for each tenth skill level, plus one more. aning I am currently limited to two Ghosts at the sa ti, but right now, I only need one.
Ugh...this takes lots of MP...I an, I am even using Genocide Drive to increase my MAG to be able to summon this one, so it’s no wonder the MP-cost is harsher than harsh. Even all my MP may not be enough...better take another bottle.
*ZZZZZAP!*
And here cos the deviant! The now-pink sli is thrown into the street I am in now while releasing pink-colored lighting from its body. Following it was the big tiger, the commander-guy that transford.
The sli sent lances made of lightning at the tiger, but the tiger countered them by releasing black lighting in return and barely canceled them. The sli has a lead in MP-recovery, so it can use big moves while the tiger needs to save his MP.
Seeing its lighting lances being negated, the sli started to charge up electricity into a sphere and released it all in the form of a beam made of lightning. But the tiger wasn’t going to take that head-on. It jumped to the air and created platforms underneath its feet to walk in the air...that’s the sa skill that Garami has! He’s damn talented, that cat. No wonder he had the leeway for one of those "mutations".
The tiger used its claws against the sli, but it simply flattened its body to the ground to dodge the attack, then it grabbed the tiger’s paw that had just missed its target and slamd the tiger to the ground! How can a sick deviant like that have so much power!?
The tiger bounced off the ground several tis and was sent flying into the next street. That has to hurt...and now the sli noticed !! Co on, co on...
"Dragon-taaaaaan~!!" - Sli
HIIII!! Ah, it’s ready!
"Shut up already! Take this! Summon; Queen Banshee!" - Revi
The magic circle I had drawn on the bridge released an otherworldly aura and a screech that sent chills down the spine of the listener. The sli stopped in its tracks as it saw and heard this ghastly event. Good...even if I am just as scared of it myself.
And then, from the magic circle appeared a ghostly woman, dressed in black mourning clothes complete with a black veil to cover her face. The sli started to look excited as it saw the woman’s...enviously nice-looking body...until it saw what was underneath the veil. And I had to look too...
A pale face, withered skin, black, empty holes that seed to swallow all light for eyes, and a gaping mouth.
The queen of Banshees inhaled a lot of air, and that was enough to send the sli, now pale-grey, fleeing for its life. But before that, I released all the delayed skills I had placed on the street. Walls of swamp-mud, snaring vines, large holes, and lots more thanks to [Swamp Magic] was released
I fell hard on the concrete bridge, with the ghastly and horrifying scream of the Banshee Queen as the background music. Maybe it was a good thing that I collapsed. The sound of the destruction of the street is horrible enough to make happy for not being able to see it with my own eyes.
