My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! Volume 14 Chapter 12

CHAPTER 12

At Least Chant A Spell! Take A Signature Pose Or Something!

Hanakawa had returned from Another Kingdom and was looking for an opponent for the second round.

The Demon King's army had won against Hanakawa and advanced to the third round, but Hanakawa and the others thought they could also advance to the third round if they won against another party.

However, a decent amount of time had passed since the second round began, and many parties must have reached their conclusions. He was in a hurry because he couldn't find an opponent immediately, and before he knew it, he was dressed like a member of the Akino Sora Guard and was confronting Yogiri and the others.

"Sorry, Hanakawa,"

Yogiri said, sounding slightly apologetic.

"No, no, no! Are you feeling the anguish... of having to kill a controlled comrade?"

"A little."

"I see. You're wondering if you can kill an unrelated person, but what about a classmate?"

Akino Sora's ability, Fanatical Fans, was a passive ability, so Sora can't control them freely. But they might consider Sora's intentions and ensure the result Sora desires.

"In this case, isn't the solution to kill Sora?"

"Even if we kill Akino, the fans will remain, and they'll seek revenge,"

Yogiri calmly answered.

"No way... Ah! I didn't particularly want to do this!"

Hanakawa had begun to gather his energy before he realized. Somewhere in his heart was the thought that he had to kill Yogiri, and his body was moving naturally.

The reason why Hanakawa, unlike other fans, could hesitate was probably because he fully understood the threat of Yogiri. Even with the murderous intent amplified by fanatical and enthusiastic followers, he knew intimately that he couldn't match Yogiri.

"If this is going to continue forever, we should end it sooner rather than later,"

Yogiri muttered quietly, and Hanakawa turned pale. It seemed that Yogiri had decided to kill Sora, the fans, everyone.

"No, no, no, no! Help meeeee!"

"Sure, I'll help. So, I should kill this one?"

When he turned around at the voice from behind, Sora's head had fallen.

"Huh?"

Behind Sora, a man who looked like a thug was standing. He was a lean man, wearing leather pants and a studded jacket.

As Hanakawa stood dumbfounded at the sudden event, the surrounding fans also started to fall one after another.

"Wait, isn't that Lord Yoshifumi!"

The sage Yoshifumi. For a while, Hanakawa had served him as a jester. Even a bond of that extent seemed to meet the conditions for triggering the Kizuna Counter.

"It's impossible for me, so figure it out on your own."

Whether it was too much trouble or he was reluctantly called, Yoshifumi said that and disappeared.

"What just happened?"

Yogiri was also taken aback.

"It seemed like someone I'd seen somewhere appeared for a moment,"

Tomochika also tilted her head.

Either way, they were calm despite their classmate Akino Sora being dead, and Hanakawa felt that there was something wrong with these two.

"Gah! My power is trying to go berserk! Run while I suppress it!"

Energy gathered in his right hand, trying to burst out. Hanakawa grabbed his right arm with his left hand, trying to restrain it.

"Chuunibyo?"

Tomochika had a pitiful look in her eyes.

"This is not the time to say such things! I'm worrying about myself! I'm afraid of being counterattacked by Takatou!"

"Takatou Yogiri WIN!"

The words appeared in the air. It seemed that Yogiri's victory was confirmed.

Then, Yogiri and Tomochika disappeared. They must have moved to the Antechamber Area, as they had advanced to the third round.

Hanakawa fired the energy bullet into the sky.

With Yogiri gone, the overflowing murderous intent had completely disappeared.

"No...um...What should I do if I'm left here all alone...?"

Looking around belatedly, it seemed he was in a park. He had been kicked out of the battle channel, but he didn't know where his friends, Carol and the others, were. Hanakawa had no choice but to be at a loss.

　　＊＊＊＊＊

The fourth round.

The place Yogiri and the others arrived was a town.

Since a castle could be seen nearby, it seemed to be a castle town. Yogiri and the others moved to a square with a fountain. They thought it would be easier to fight there than in the alleyways.

"Takatou Yogiri is here!"

Tomochika shouted as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Yogiri quickly moved away and covered her ears.

As they waited for someone to show up, something fell from the sky. The buildings shook and the scenery blurred for a moment. They had moved to the battle channel.

Appearing was a party of five.

A boy dressed in a casual T-shirt and jeans, a large man with skin like rock, a slender man wearing glasses on his three pairs of eyes, a woman whose face couldn't be seen under her long hair that reached her feet, and a young man in a long coat and glasses.

Although the party gave a rather disjointed impression, Yogiri recognized one of them.

The young man with glasses, Sage Shirou.

He was involved in the management of the underground quest and had come to announce rule changes to Yogiri and the others.

"Yo. I'm the Demon King Golbagion. These guys are the Four Heavenly Kings."

The black-haired boy seemed to be the leader, Golbagion.

"Golbagion? I feel like I've heard that name."

"Yeah, that's right. He's the weakest or something."

Hearing this, Yogiri remembered. The horned boy who had been attacking the town, Naltin, had claimed to be one of the Demon King's Four Heavenly Kings.

"But he's not here."

"Right. Maybe he got beaten because he's the weakest?"

"It's common for the Four Heavenly Kings to change, isn't it?"

If Golbagion says so, it must be true, and as far as Yogiri is concerned, the enemy's circumstances didn't really matter.

"But why is the Demon King's army participating in this?"

"Well, because you embody evil more than the Demon King's army. If we're going to make a big splash as the Demon King's army, you'll overshadow us."

"I don't know what to say to that."

"I feel like I've been targeted for various reasons before, but this is a new pattern."

"So, die."

'Takatou Yogiri VS Demon King Golbagion FIGHT!!'

There must have been no room for negotiation. The fight began with one word from Golbagion.

"Breia, go for it."

"Yeah!"

The large man who looked like a rock, Breia, stepped forward. With a look that boasted of his strength, and seemingly without a thought in his mind, he charged at Yogiri.

He swung his giant fist, and with that posture, Breia fell.

"I see. Next, let's try Haruka."

"…Hey, where's the dog?"

Haruka, the woman with long hair that covered her face, asked quietly.

"You mean Dai the dog? We've parted ways."

Recalling this, Yogiri's chest hurt a little.

"Why?! I said I wanted it!"

Suddenly Haruka became furious, and Yogiri was taken aback by the unexpected reaction. He had never expected such a response.

Haruka disappeared.

Tomochika turned around. A beat later, when Yogiri looked behind her, Haruka had fallen. It seemed her speed was her pride.

"Wouldn't it be less troublesome if they all came at once?"

Even at this stage, Yogiri had no intention of actively using his powers. Whether he used his powers to protect herself or not, the result would be the same. It was just a matter of slow or fast, but he wanted to uphold his beliefs as much as possible.

"I see. Kreiz, Shirou, you two go ahead."

The six-eyed man Kreiz and the sage Shirou stepped forward and fell.

"This has been boring from the start!"

Golbagion finally snapped.

"There's got to be more to it! At least chant a spell! Take a signature pose or something!"

"Even if you say that, I don't have that luxury."

The Four Heavenly Kings were all defeated, but Yogiri hadn't really done anything special. His abilities were triggered automatically in response to the killing intent.

"But, you know my power by now, don't you? Won't you surrender?"

Just to be sure, Yogiri asked.

"Do you think there's a Demon King who would do that?"

"Indeed, I wouldn't like such a Demon King."

Yogiri imagined if this were a game. He'd probably want to toss a game with such a scenario.

"But, you have no chance of winning, do you?"

"Really? That woman there. I appoint you as one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

"Eh? I don't want to though."

A peculiar atmosphere spread. Golbagion didn't seem to expect to be refused.

'I'm blocking that kind of thing.'

Mokomoko was lying on her back next to Tomochika.

"Was that an attack just now?"

"It's not so much an attack, but more like a curse to forcibly recruit her into his camp."

He was probably aiming for friendly fire. Certainly, it would be difficult to deal with Tomochika attacking Yogiri, but Yogiri thought that there would be a way to handle that.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I understand your power. But, I haven't been serious yet."

"Even if you say that, I haven't seen anything yet."

Yogiri was astounded by the sudden declaration. It was because Golbagion had done almost nothing up to this point.

"Well, don't be so impatient. I get stronger as things go on."

Golbagion pointed his right hand towards Yogiri and his group. He was probably about to unleash something.

And then, Golbagion fell. Whatever he was about to release must have been something that could have killed Yogiri. That's why he died from the counterattack.

'Takatou Yogiri WIN!'

"Um...we didn't get to see him go all out, did we?"

'You could have at least entertained him a little...'

Tomochika and Mokomoko seemed a bit disappointed.
