The eting of Evil and Evil
* * *
Plip.
Plip.
Plip.
When gzam vaguely regained consciousness, the first thing he recognized was the sound of water dripping.
“Ugh…”
Letting out an involuntary groan of pain from his whole body, gzam slightly opened his eyes and sohow managed to sit up.
Then, what jumped into his field of vision… was.
“Oh, oh, oh, Boss! You’ve woken up, haven’t you!?”
While shouting that, spitting saliva, tears, and snot everywhere, and crying, the face of his long-faced underling Ander ca flying at gzam!
“…Hmph!”
“Agh!?”
First of all, gzam, who disliked getting snot on his body, punched Ander flying with all his might to protect himself, then stood up and rotated his arms, legs, and waist to check the condition of his body.
It moved without any problems.
Although his whole body was covered in wounds, he didn’t seem to have any broken bones.
“Now then… where is this place…?”
And the next thing gzam did after confirming his body was to check his surroundings.
Looking around, what was scattered everywhere were rubble, rubble, and more rubble.
The magic lamps embedded in the walls were flickering and dimly illuminating them.
He could also see water droplets dripping from several cracks in the ceiling, perhaps because groundwater was seeping out.
“This place is probably deeper underground in the ruins. We got caught up in the collapse of the ruins caused by that Ibrabarleg’s rampage and fell all the way down here.”
“…I see.”
gzam gave an appropriate response to the underling explaining the situation while dripping nosebleed.
Then, he placed his hand on a large piece of rubble lying next to where he had been sleeping.
If this had fallen on top of him, his life would have been over.
As usual, he was lucky.
gzam grinned, raising the corner of his mouth.
“In that case, Ander. You, go quickly and find an exit.”
“Huh!? That’s impossible! Rubble is piled up everywhere, there’s no exit! We’re trapped…!”
Ander objected to gzam’s order while dropping his shoulders.
He had defied gzam, his boss!
This was unforgivable!
“Hmph!”
“Agh!?”
That’s why gzam punched Ander again and raised his angry voice!
“You fool! We were lucky enough to survive! That ans we still have luck left, right!? Don’t complain and quickly find an exit, you idiot!!”
“Y-Yes…!”
Frightened by gzam’s shouting, Ander hurriedly ran off to the other side of the rubble.
Now, conserving physical strength was the key.
They had to find an exit to the surface with as little effort as possible and escape.
Therefore, gzam sat down on the spot and reached out to the dried at hidden in his pocket to replenish his nutrients… but, at this point.
“Ah! Aaaaah! B-Boss!”
Ander’s scream, who seed to have already discovered sothing, could be heard from the other side of the rubble.
“Tch.”
Feeling irritated at the wasted action of standing up imdiately after sitting down and consuming strength, gzam still walked heavily toward the direction of the voice.
And there, what was there was.
A long, eerie sword with a blade that shone red like blood.
The magic sword “Soul Devourer” that Ibrabarleg should have been wielding was lying on the floor along with the rubble.
“Look! Look at this, Boss! This is the “Soul-sothing” that Ibrabarleg was using! If it’s here, that bastard must have croaked! Hehe, he got what he deserved for killing Tappa! Serves him right, agh!?”
gzam once again punched Ander, who was excitedly rambling while pointing at the magic sword.
“Hey, you! Didn’t I tell you to “find an exit”!? Finding this stick now doesn’t help us at all! Wasting my strength, I’ll kill you!!”
And while shouting that, gzam picked up “Soul Devourer” and raised it high to threaten Ander.
Then, at that mont!
A high-pitched, ear-grating male voice resounded in gzam’s head!
“Huh!?”
Surprised by the sudden occurrence, gzam looked around to find the source of the voice.
However, the only ones present were himself and Ander lying on the floor.
“What did you say!?”
Even gzam was surprised by this confession and stared at “Soul Devourer” with wide eyes.
“………”
gzam went silent while fiddling with his shaggy beard to understand and take in the sudden situation.
And then.
“Hey, you.”
He spoke to the magic sword.
“You said ‘I’m saved thanks to you being here,’ right? In other words, if I use you, there’s a chance we can escape from here. Is that what you an?”
“But you don’t have feet. That’s why you need .”
“Shut up. Don’t say unnecessary things. Hurry up and tell about that escape route.”
gzam muttered, talking to the magic sword.
Ander was blankly staring at that sight.
“What did you say?”
“Out of gas…?”
gzam tilted his head at the unfamiliar term.
However, without even paying attention to his behavior, “Soul Devourer” continued talking.
Hearing the story up to this point and recalling Ibrabarleg’s actions from earlier.
gzam was able to quickly understand what this magic sword was seeking.
Therefore.
“Here.”
“Huh!?”
Without a second thought, using the magic sword “Soul Devourer”.
He stabbed the chest of his underling Ander, who was staring at him with a dazed face.
“Is this good enough?”
Then, the next mont!
The blade of “Soul Devourer” flickered strangely for a mont, and the stabbed Ander… started screaming trendously!
“AH, GYA, WHA, GYAAAAAH!?”
Ander cried out in pain without understanding the reason!
But, however, gzam paid no attention to his underling’s state at all!
“Ooooh…!? Ooooooh!?”
Twisting his mouth widely and drooling… yes, he let out a voice of ecstasy!
“This is the taste of a soul…!”
“I want to eat… I want to eat more souls…!”
“AAAAH, aah, agaaa…!”
…After a while, Ander’s screams could no longer be heard at all.
Noticing this, when gzam looked at the tip of the blade, what was there was sothing dried up and blackened.
“Hmph.”
gzam swung “Soul Devourer” with a whoosh and shook off that sothing.
It shattered against the rubble and disappeared into dust.
Before he could feel any sentints about that sight, the high-pitched voice of “Soul Devourer” resounded in gzam’s brain.
At this ti, “Soul Devourer” called gzam “partner”.
gzam felt no discomfort with that fact.
gzam and “Soul Devourer” were partners.
gzam had to feed “Soul Devourer” more and more souls.
That was a given.
“Yeah… that’s right.”
While saying that, gzam picked up a piece of rubble lying around, lightly applied force as a test, and squeezed it.
Then, that rubble, which should have been a hard piece of stone, crumbled as if it were a lump of sand!
“Power is… surging.”
“………”
At this point.
gzam suddenly felt doubts about the way “Soul Devourer” was saying things.
“‘Soul Devourer’ is the masterpiece? You’re not ‘Soul Devourer’? Who are you?”
“Soul Devourer” made a sound like snorting through its nose in gzam’s brain, then continued talking in an arrogant voice.
“Real na.”
To gzam, who was waiting while fiddling with his beard, “Soul Devourer” finally told its true na after making a big deal out of it!
The calamity of this world!
Upon hearing those words, gzam’s hand that was fiddling with his beard stopped, and his eyes widened in shock!
But, however!
“…Sorry, but I don’t know of any calamity called ‘Great Evil Spirit’.”
Yes, gzam didn’t know.
However, this didn’t indicate his lack of education.
Like the Black Dragon and Odokato se Kenu, the nas of powerful beings known as calamities were widely known throughout the world.
But “Great Evil Spirit Engee Albitt” was different.
Why?
“…I don’t really get it, but that’s probably not sothing you can proudly say, right?”
…Perhaps expressing Engee’s excitent.
The red blade of the magic sword “Soul Devourer” glowed ominously.
“West, you say?”
“External device…?”
Unfamiliar terms popped up again, and gzam twisted his neck.
“………”
While ignoring Engee’s screaming voice in his brain, gzam reached a conclusion.
In other words, he decided on his future course of action.
“Well, anyway.”
He summarized the conversation when he saw that Engee’s screaming had subsided.
“I just need to head west, right?”
“While killing a lot.”
“While devouring souls.”
“That sounds like, well…”
After saying that, gzam put strength into “Soul Devourer” and swung it horizontally once.
A red light burst from the blade, and the rubble blocking the passage was blown away into pieces!
“A fun journey.”
And while grinning an evil smile, gzam started advancing forward, forward through the underground passage that appeared.
“…Ihihi.”
While letting out an ominous laugh.
Arc 15 concludes with this chapter.
Although there were so gaps in between, for , it was a posting pace that I had never achieved before.
I’ll praise myself for doing well even without a stockpile.
Arc 15 was one where various elents that appeared in the s reappeared, wasn’t it?
And in the end, a villain t a great evil spirit.
Oh, co to think of it, “The Reincarnated Extra” recently celebrated its 3rd anniversary.
Being able to continue like this is thanks to all of you reading this work.
Thank you always.
The first part is planned to have its final arc after the next one.
