Chapter 163.3

[Part 3/4]

Escaping by flight was impossible because we had to fight a muscular demon that was coming at us from above. The rusty giant sword was getting closer.

"Just accept it, hold on!!"

"You say that so easily, ugh, oh!!?" Visit for the best novel reading experience

Kaede complained at the same time as I stopped the giant sword. The cursed Tant, our last hope, successfully blocked the greatsword that was more than a hundred times its size, creating a thunderous metallic sound. Kaede, who was burdened by the impact, screamed. At the same time, the demon opened their large mouth.

"!!? Cover your ears... what?!"

I expected a roar, but it was completely different.

The intense smell of alcohol made me almost feel drunk. It was even more potent than the blue demon from somewhere far away, but it was also more dangerous.

Click clack. A sound like a flintstone echoed from deep within the demon's throat. If I looked closely, I could see that its Adam's apple was rubbing against something in the darkness.

"Get away!!"

The breath of alcohol turned into a torrent of flames immediately. It was like a flamethrower. The intense crimson flames spread vigorously in all directions. We jumped out of that storm.

"It's hot, so hot...!?"

"Hit it! Quickly! Put out the fire!!"

Kaede and I were both engulfed in flames. My whole outfit was burning. It's so hot, so hot...!?

"Hey Kaede! You too! Your hair, your hair is on fire!?"

"Oh no!? Dammit, my precious hair!?"

Even Kaede's wet crow-colored hair was on fire. With a click of her tongue, Kaede boldly chopped off her hair with her hand like giving it a wolf cut.

"That darn sake-smelling demon!! I'm going to kill them...!?"

"Darn it, it's not working. It won't go out!! The alcohol has soaked into our clothes!!?"

I shouted on top of Kaede's scolding. The alcohol content seems too high, and maybe it's a different type altogether. It was highly volatile and flammable, like kerosene or something. It was impossible to stop the clothes from burning like this.

"It's no use...!! Kaede, drop me! Quickly!! Quickly!!"

"Ugh, I'm not going to drown, you know!!?"

The rope that connected me and Kaede came undone. I fell. I plunged into hot water. It was hot, but thankfully it was starting to cool down a bit and was better than flames.

"...!!!!!!"

My vision was covered in bubbles. I was disoriented in every direction, but even in that state, I managed to pull out another rope. The rope extended on its own, capturing something and anchoring it, then I pulled it up with force.

Surviving by a hair's breadth from the first strike, I stood up and hurriedly leaped from branch to branch, avoiding the second strike. It was a nimble maneuver, like a monkey jumping from one tree to another.

(It seems you moved swiftly, evading my attacks! I should have hurt you to the point where you couldn't move properly...!)

The snake god pursued me relentlessly, its gaze fixed on me. Will it... come for me!?

As radiant light overflowed from its throat, I released the steam stored in the conch shell.

The beam swept through the surroundings. By compressing the steam in the conch shell, I turned it into a rocket projectile aimed at the giant serpent. The Destruction Beam was a powerful technique. Clearly, it could target those who had infiltrated its range. Therefore...!

(Too slow!!)

"Huh!?"

Immediately after, the giant snake opened a third eye above its head. Against my will, my body recoiled under its gaze.

(Is this... its authority!?)

The words "frog stared down by a snake" flashed through my mind. My body felt as if it had turned to stone, likely due to the restraining authority. However, even so...!

"Sorry, but I won't stop...!!"

(Huh...!!?)

Something was approaching me, threatening my body like a snake. The booming sound coming from behind was probably an attempt to crush me with its tail. Unfortunately, it missed.

And then, there was no next attack. The snake's movements became visibly unsettled. Taking advantage of that, I released even more steam and quickly reached the face of the giant snake.

I was ready to fight...!!

(Oof!!?)

I launched myself at incredible speed towards the snake, causing it to widen its eyes and tilt its body. I swiftly sliced through its third eye with my Tant. In an instant, I had passed through its rear and clicked my tongue.

"Darn it!! Tsk!!?"

I evaded the beam that the snake shot as it turned around using the remaining steam. I dodged it, and that was the end of it. I had used up all the remaining steam.

I aimed for the forest protruding from the surface of the water and landed there. After landing, I rolled around in a defensive position and ended up in the water. I quickly crawled out of the water and prepared myself with the Tant in hand, expecting the snake to launch another attack.

And the expectations were betrayed.

(Is my snake eye not working? How foolish. Can such a thing...?)

When I got up, what I saw was the appearance of a giant snake that made me feel like I was seeing something unbelievable.

(I've fallen. It can't be helped that you didn't turn into stone, but I can't even restrain you... Is it because of your body's characteristics? No, that's not it...)

It was confused about the ineffectiveness of its powers. And the loss of its third eye hurt more than anything, but the snake calmly began to consider the situation, like a deity.
