(Ichiko POV)
“Detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable detestable!”
The Distinguishable Warrior abruptly began to reiterate the word “detestable”.
“Why can those people, mere humans, live outside yet I can’t even step outside!”
From the body of the Distinguishable Warrior, several birds rushed vigorously towards me.
Obviously, I didn’t have to catch them, so I destroyed them with ?Sword of the Formless King?Weak?.
“Why can’t you be obliterated by my power!”
Following that, when their prey was exhibited in front of them, various kinds of insects charged at me, and I dispatched them with the long swords in both hands.
“How come you, a Demon King, can step outside and join forces with crude humans!!”
Crabs, prawns, and other crustaceans were hurtling towards me like bullets this time, so I estimated the trajectory of the flying crustaceans and deviated from it by drawing my broadsword.
“I am the Demon King! An existence that transcends human beings! I am different from those knuckleheads! So you shall perish at once!!”
Now, cows and other even-toed ungulates surged forward. As expected, this was something beyond my capabilities, so I leaped back on top of the building with ?Sword of the Formless King?Weak?.
Even so, this Demon King, the “Distinguishable Warrior Who Isolates the Species” is…
“Is that all you have to say?”
From the top of the building, I contemptuously looked down at the Distinguishable Warrior.
Since all that may disclose this Distinguishable Warrior’s human identity had been obliterated by the hand of the God of Calamity, I had no insight regarding his period of time as a human.
Nevertheless, I can tell by listening to that statement that this Demon King was simply someone who desired to bask in a sense of superiority through his supreme power.
“Those eyes of yours… don’t you dare look down on me!”
The Distinguishable Warrior’s body was divided into dozens of different creatures, all of which were bearing down on me.
“Now I understand why you have been converting your upper body into a plant.”
Perhaps because each one of them was a part of the Demon King, the momentum of the creatures approaching me had already risen to the extent that even a scratch to the body would be lethal.
“While there is an advantage to going into battle with a spirit that inhabits you with that much fury, there is also a drawback. Therefore, you were trying to proceed with the battle dispassionately in the body of a plant, which is devoid of emotion and can be easily regenerated even if it is severed. However, since your plant body was destroyed by me, you were left with no alternative but to surrender to your seething emotions.”
And even while innumerable creatures were on the verge of reaching me, new species of creatures were being produced one after another from the Distinguishable Warrior’s body, thus totaling well over a hundred species that were present in existence.
“At any rate, no matter what kind of human being you originally were, it does not change what I seek to accomplish.”
The tusks of the cheetah, the swiftest creature ever born, were pressing close to my throat.
“The only thing I can do is to avenge you.”
But I narrowly evaded it and beheaded the cheetah.
“Don’t get… carried away!”
Hundreds of animals continued to attack me, destroying the structure I had been occupying as a foothold. But I voluntarily dropped myself into the throng of animals and finished them off with a single blow, beginning with the nearest one.
Obviously, no matter how many I eliminated, there will always be more. I consequently gradually changed my fighting style from one-hit kills to swinging my giant sword and blasting away the enemies as fast as I can.
One, two, three, four, five, six… ah, l should not enumerate them anymore.
In any case, while sweeping away the adversaries at random, I approached the Distinguishable Warrior step by step.
“Why is it!? How could you pull off such a thing! Doesn’t it hurt!”
It was no wonder that my body would be damaged by the counterattacks of my opponents as I engaged in this kind of fighting style. However, if I retreated at this stage, I will be overpowered by the sheer size of the force, and this Demon King known as Distinguishable Warrior will most likely not die unless all of his distinct bodies are destroyed.
When I was about 10 meters away from the Distinguishable Warrior, the number of enemies released by the Distinguishable Warrior and my speed of annihilation were balanced, preventing me from progressing further.
“Hu, hi. Hahahahaha! Looks like you can’t advance any further! Why don’t you just keep on crushing them…”
Then there was only one course of action.
“‘I am the one who leaps through the void, the sword with boundless forms. I seek the flower of life, the fountain of blood. Let it disperse in the dust of the long, acute blade. Until I attain what I seek, incessantly cut my adversaries with the blade. Outer Skill? Mujin Noryoiki’.”
In the creation of the great sword, I forcibly intermixed three skills and wielded the produced sword in my hand.
Although its handle was that of a great sword, it had no cutting edge. Despite the fact that it was only a handle, its weight was far heavier than that of an ordinary great sword. The instant it emerged, my surroundings were enveloped in mist.
And the mist surrounding me began to move rapidly the precise second that sword was flashed horizontally by my hand, scattering all of the adversaries who had been about me aside from the main body of the Distinguishable Warrior.
“Huh?”
The Distinguishable Warrior’s body was gradually carved with wounds after that.
“W-What the hell is this!? This thing g…!!”
In the end, he scattered like dust along with the handle in my hand.
Outer Skill? Mujin Noryoiki. By a combination of ?Keen Edge?, ?Long Edge?, and ?Enchanting Mist? when creating a large sword with ?Sword of the Formless King?Weak?, the Outer Skill will create a magical sword that can sever up anything in my transferable area. Nevertheless, it would break after just one swing, possibly owing to its intensity.
Afterwards, one by one, I dispatched all of the Distinguishable Warrior who had lost their heads and control. While feeling that my level had elevated for the first time in a long time, the dungeon, “Island of the World’s Discrepancy” had been conquered.
