Chapter 122 – The Absolute Zero

Monotonous attacks.

As Aaron said, even orcs could actually fight better.

The four ogres attacked with no coordination.

So this was….the limit of a monster born from a human corpse. From what the goblin shaman said, they were captured to bee subjects for its experiment..

I must say that I pity them, but they're now my enemies.

All the creatures created from collapse phenomenon so far cannot be reasoned with, and they merely following their instinct to attack. So I simply have to burn them away with black flame.

One, two, three…

[You're the only one left]

It probably couldn't tell the other party's abilities. Nor it could prehend that it had turned into the prey instead of the hunter.

It simply came at me.

As if it has no fear of death, which was strange.

Apparently noticing me frowning too much, Greed unusually spoke up.

『Ogre is it? I never thought……that the technology to create them still exist.』

[Technology?]

『It's one of Gallia's military technologies. The simplest way to turn a human into tireless soldier.』

[That thing, as soldier?]

『It appeared that you've gotten rid of their mander. Those things, they are like puppets who would listen and follow their puppeteer. Essentially obedient and fearless soldiers.』

What the hell, using monster as soldier. Not to mention that the material to create it is human being.

The present day kingdom was where unskilled human will suffer due to its skill-centric principles. Meanwhile, Gallia was not above of turning these people into mindless soldiers who didn't fear death.

[How cruel.]

『Yes, indeed. Gallian technology might be very advanced, but as you said, they were cruel.』

[Let's get rid of this last one, and check the goblin shaman's research facility. Perhaps we'll find something.]

『In that case, just burn down that useless remnant.』

You don't say!

The research facility was seemingly destroyed by Aaron's Grand Cross. But I knew that the place was actually sturdier than it seemed. There should be some information left intact.

I waved the black staff at the ogre who charged at me like an idiot.

[Gyaaaaa]

Black flame ignited from the tip, burning the ogre gradually.

The ogre flailed around, trying to hit me while roaring in pain.

[This thing…]

Apparently I adjusted the power to be too weak. This time I shot off a slightly more powerful fire.

The screaming got worse, as the ogre burned away and finally fell over

Even after the corpse had been burnt until no trace remained, the black flame still burning on the ground. I sighed while listening to the incomanic voice in my head.

[This black flame, it simply refuses to die]

『Yes, of course. It's impossible to control for the current Fate. There is no way for you to douse the flame now. Well, it's only logical. Igniting a flame is actually easier than putting it out.』

[I don't use magic too much. Perhaps that's why I find this form very hard to control]

『Because you only know how to swing the black sword wildly, that's how. Starting tomorrow, you'll intensively train with only the black staff. Prepare yourself.』

[Eeeeeeee, if I use it on the spiritual world, what if I accidentally burn the world?]

『That place will disappear.』

[Isn't that dangerous!]

『Hahahaha, that place won't disappear so easily, as it belonged to Luna. Only she can erase it. That's why we can burn it as much as we want tonight. Get yourself accustomed in using the black staff.』

[I hope you don't go back on your words later. I'll look forward to see Greed rolling around while being burned by the black flame….]

I wanted to tease Greed a bit, but my view was soon dyed in red.

It's because blood was flowing out from my right eye.

Give me a break…

『Need some rest? You just devoured 5 Area E enemies in a row after all.』

[No, I can't stop now. I…]

『Running out of time?』

[Yeah, Luna and Mimir helped, but it's only on the surface]

『Nothing has really changed. The gluttony skill is still slowly eroding you. And the rate of which became faster ever since you entered Area E』
