Chapter 104: How Is It Possible to Understand the Words but Not the Meaning

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

〈What the hell is that monster!?〉

〈It didn’t just take down Seia Jinguji—it one-shotted that powerful-looking dragon too!?〉

〈Even Moka Sakura is in serious trouble!〉

〈Run away! Hurry!〉

As the viewers of Ryuuga Takahashi’s Dragon Channel flooded the comments with panic and screams, Moka Sakura—who had allowed the demon to get close…

“YOUUUUUUUU BAAAAAASTAAAAAAAARD!! I’M GONNA KILL YOUUUUUU, YOU SON OF A BIIIIIIIIIIITCH!!”

…roared and leapt at the demon in a fit of rage.

〈Eeeeeeeeh???〉

〈Moka Sakura changes personality when she’s mad.〉

〈She’s like a totally different person, lol〉

〈No way a dragon knight would charge in without her dragon.〉

〈She reminds me of someone…〉

〈Is it a dragon thing?〉

With her lance in hand, Moka Sakura unleashed a powerful thrust at the demon and it landed squarely in the demon’s abdomen—but her assault didn’t end there.

“ORAORAORAORAORAORAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

With a thunderous battle cry, she launched a furious flurry of thrusts. The sheer force of the shockwaves gouged deep scars into the walls of the observation tower behind her.

〈I-It’s amazing〉

〈She’s that strong even without her dragon!?〉

〈Well, she is an S-Ranker, after all〉

〈At this rate… Maybe she could take the demon down…?〉

But suddenly, the lance came to a stop. The demon had grabbed the tip and stopped it cold.

“…Damn bastard! Not a scratch on you, huh, you freak?!”

She cursed instinctively, her tone absolutely foul. The demon, who should’ve taken several of her blows, smiled as if nothing had happened.

“Fufufu, for a human, I’d say you’re doing fairly well.”

The next instant, a black beam of light fired from the demon and pierced Moka Sakura’s body.

“Gah… Ha…”

〈Two S-Rankers can’t even touch this thing.〉

〈Even though they made short work of that deep-level boss…〉

〈What is this demon thing? It’s not just a regular monster, is it?〉

〈Are there any recorded defeats of something like this?〉

〈There are a few reports overseas of people barely escaping with their lives.〉

〈There’s no way we can beat this thing.〉

〈Hey, Ryuuga, don’t get blood rushing to your head and charge in too!〉

〈He’s not responding.〉

〈What’s up with Ryuuga?〉

〈Time’s stopped.〉

〈He’s paralyzed with fear or something.〉

“I-It’s over…”

Ryuuga Takahashi, who had been watching everything unfold right in front of him, muttered in a trembling voice.

“Even those two couldn’t land a hit… Even if everyone left teamed up together… There’s no way we’d win… And now that thing’s out in the world above…”

〈I’ve never seen Ryuuga like this〉

〈I’m sure backup will come soon, so cheer up, okay?〉

〈Backup? It’s not like S-Rankers can just show up that easily〉

〈They could be exploring other dungeons right now too.〉

“Fufufu… Oh, what a face. Twisted with despair and fear… Delicious. I just love it. …But since we’ve come this far, let’s see if we can strip away all of your hope, shall we?”

〈This can’t end well/〉

〈I’m terrified/〉

〈Is this thing a demon or what/〉

〈It’s literally a demon, duh〉

The demon unleashed a blast of black light. It struck one of the dead monsters from the deep levels  and then….

〈Wait, is it moving…?〉

〈Is that a healing spell?〉

〈No way, it was totally dead, right?〉

〈Its torso was ripped clean off though!?〉

〈No… Is this… An undead!?〉

“You see, I may not look it, but I’m quite good with necromancy.”

The demon then fired off a barrage of black beams, each one hitting a different lifeless monster.

And as if summoned back from hell, the deep level monsters began rising again as undead.

〈Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa??〉

〈This demon can use necromancy too!?〉

〈So all the deep level monsters we beat are coming back!?〉

〈We need to escape overseas right now.〉

〈I’m already heading to the airport.〉

More and more desperate comments poured into Dragon Channel. In the midst of this nightmare, none of the explorers at the scene could move, frozen as a horde of undead closed in on them.

“Fufufufufufufu! At this point, who’s alive and who’s dead hardly matters anymore, does it?! Please, cry, scream, and flee in terror! Entertain me until this world becomes a paradise for the undead!”

But then, someone dared to speak a sliver of hope. It was Ryuuga Takahashi.

“…If there’s anyone who might be able to stand up to this monster… It has be that person…”

〈By that person do you mean, Master Nishida?〉

〈Yeah, there’s still Master Nishida!〉

〈But not even Seia Jinguji could beat this thing, you know?〉

〈Is Master Nishida stronger than Seia?〉

〈In terms of record, he’s way behind her though…〉

〈He’s been out of action for a while too.〉

〈No way someone with a gap in experience is stronger than Japan’s top explorer.〉

〈If he’s that strong, why’s he running a diner lol〉

〈Apparently, he’s already on his way here.〉

〈For real? That gives me hope.〉

〈Our last hope.〉

〈Wait, but he’s coming from Tokyo, right? That’ll take time.〉

〈He was in Sendai, so it shouldn’t take long for him to get here.〉

〈Supposedly he’s riding on top of a plane headed this way.〉

〈On top?〉

〈What do you mean?〉

〈Exactly what it sounds like. He’s riding on top of a plane〉

〈Can you say that again but in Japanese?〉

〈He jumped from the ground onto a plane that took off from Sendai Airport and is riding it here. Get it now?〉

〈That made it even more confusing lololol〉

〈Seriously.〉

〈How is it possible to understand the words but not the meaning lol〉

And just then, something fell from the sky at blinding speed.

〈A meteor!?〉

〈It’s falling right toward us!?〉

〈It’s kind of long and thin for a meteor though?〉

〈Wait, is that a person!?〉

〈No way…〉

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

With an earth-shaking crash, water from the moat exploded upward like a geyser. It seemed whatever it was had fallen into the moat. As water rained down like a monsoon, something leapt from the bottom of the moat and revealed itself… It was an old man with a butcher’s knife in hand.

〈MASTER NISHIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!〉

〈MASTER NISHIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!〉

〈MASTER NISHIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!〉

〈MASTER NISHIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!〉

〈MASTER NISHIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!〉
