𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟐𝟕: 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
Meanwhile, Ouma’s subordinate and Guardian, Thirteen, is. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Ugagaga. . . . . .Ugi-gaaaahhh!!!!!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
A giant【monkey】has appeared in the Abyss Forest.
It looks more like a gorilla than a monkey.
ㅤ
Black fur, six thick arms.
Its height is about 5 meters.
ㅤ
ㅤ
A terrifying six-armed black monkey.
This is Thirteen’s new form.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Ugagaga. . . . . .Ugi-gaaaahhh!!!!!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
The black monkey is wreaking havoc in the Abyss Forest with its three pairs of gigantic arms.
It seems to be acting purely on a simple command to destroy the enemy.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Every time its fists hit the ground, loud noises reverberate.
The areas struck by its fists turn black and the forest’s greenery withers away.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I see. . . . . .in addition to its crazed state, its fists are imbued with a curse.”
『Ugagaga. . . . . .Ugi-gaaaahhh!!!!!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Standing in front of the black monkey is Vajra.
. . . . . .She is supported by Anila, in the form of a dragon.
ㅤ
ㅤ
On the palm of Anila’s hand stand Vajra, Chatura, and Medusa.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Sub-leader, your orders.”
“. . . . . .I leave it to you.”
“Are you sure?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Behind the cloth, Vajra’s eyes widened.
Because, for Chatura, Vajra should be her most hated enemy.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Yet Chatura says calmly.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama’s order is not to kill anyone. I can’t think of a strategy for that. Vajra, use your eyes to fulfill her wish.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Implicitly, Chatura is acknowledging Vajra’s power.
If anyone can do what she cannot, it’s Vajra.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila and Medusa remain silent. They will likely follow Chatura’s strategy.
Vajra smiles, feeling the trust from all three.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Kyrie. . . . . .Meeting you has made me happy.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Until arriving here, Vajra was lonely.
Everyone tried to use her.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Even when she wanted someone to protect her, she only faced hatred and disdain from her former comrades.
ㅤ
ㅤ
. . . . . .Yet among them, the only person who looked at her directly was Kyrie.
Meeting Kyrie turned her sinking life around.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Their meeting changed her fate.
So it’s a command from such a benefactor.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“If not now, when will I honor the trust of my comrades. . . . . .”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Vajra removes the cloth.
Her golden eyes look straight at the black monkey.
ㅤ
Her eyes can see the future.
Vajra smiles and says.
ㅤ
“Let’s quickly defeat it and continue our celebration!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila grins.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Alright, let’s go!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila contracts her body and charges.
Vajra rides on the back of Chatura, who has transformed into Fenrir.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Santilla. Petrification ray on Anila’s arm.”
ㅤ
Medusa (also known as Santilla) spreads her hair.
The ends of her hair become snake heads, and they fire a petrification ray.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila’s dragon arm turns to stone.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Anila, the enemy’s arms are imbued with a cursing power. Don’t touch them directly.”
『Understood. . . . . .!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila swings her fist with full force, striking the black monkey.
The black monkey blocks the attack with its arm.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Normally, a curse would activate the moment Anila’s fist made contact.
But. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Anila is already under a petrification curse. One curse can’t overwrite another.”
『ROAAAAR!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Crack! Anila’s uppercut punches through the black monkey’s jaw.
The black monkey is sent flying at incredible speed.
ㅤ
“Chatura, give the landing point instructions. Take us there at full speed!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Chatura, still in his Fenrir form, runs at an astonishing speed.
Thanks to Kyrie’s divine protection, rapid. . . . . .no, even movement at the speed of light becomes possible.
ㅤ
ㅤ
With a thud, the black monkey falls flat on its back on the ground.
Its six arms are petrified and encased in ice, immobilizing it.
ㅤ
It’s the doing of Chatura and Medusa. Vajra could see the landing point of the Black Monkey.
ㅤ
ㅤ
As the enemy descends, they use their abilities to restrain it.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Now’s the time, Anila! Strike the black monkey’s heart with full force! Don’t hold back!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Kyrie’s order is the Black Monkey. . . . . .not to kill the Thirteen.
If Anila uses her full-strength punch to crush a vital point, the enemy would likely die.
ㅤ
ㅤ
But Vajra said to pierce the heart, not kill it.
If the clairvoyant says so, then doing that should solve the problem.
ㅤ
ㅤ
By following Vajra, Anila can fulfill her master’s orders.
Trusting her. . . . . .Anila raises her fist without hesitation.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『ROAAAAR!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
A light dwells in Anila’s fist.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『ROAAAAR!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
As per Vajra’s instruction, Anila strikes an intense blow aimed at the heart.
Stronger than before, a genuine dragon punch.
ㅤ
A moment of silence follows, then a tremendous explosion echoes around them.
ㅤ
ㅤ
The black monkey’s body explodes into pieces.
ㅤ
ㅤ
When the smoke clears. . . . . .
There stands Anila in human form, along with Thirteen.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Vajra and the others arrive.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“It looks like it worked.”
“What the hell happened? I seriously punched with full force.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Normally, the enemy would have been torn to shreds.
But Thirteen still barely retains his original form.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I used the power of my eyes.”
“Eyes?”
“Yes. My eyes don’t just see the future.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Blood is dripping from Vajra’s eyes.
While applying a cloth to her face, she speaks.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“My eyes are called the【Eyes of the Time King】.”
“The Eyes of the Time King. . . . . .?”
“Yes. They are endowed with the ability to manipulate time. Seeing the future is just one of their capabilities.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Vajra doesn’t just have the skill to see the future; that skill is also a part of the powers of the eyes she possesses.
ㅤ
“One of the techniques of using these eyes is called 【Total Time Stop Inside】. It stops the internal time of the target.”
“. . . . . .So they die?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
At Medusa’s words, Vajra nods.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Yes. But it’s slightly different; it stops the person’s bodily time. Let’s just say it puts them into a state of suspended animation.”
“Suspended animation. . . . . .”
ㅤ
The moment Anila shattered the black monkey, Vajra activated her ability.
She put Thirteen into a state of suspended animation, body and all.
ㅤ
“What! Either way, he’s still dead, isn’t he?”
“Don’t worry. . . . . .We have a compassionate Saint-sama with us.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
If we take him to Kyrie as he is, he can be revived in an instant.
But that’s only possible because he still has a physical body.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“So if Vajra hadn’t used her ability, the body would’ve been completely destroyed, making revival impossible. . . . . .Is that what you’re saying?”
“Well, yes. . . . . .that’s about it.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Vajra almost falls, stumbling lightly.
Her body is supported by Anila, Medusa, and Chatura.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Vajra mutters, “Ah.”
A single tear falls from her cheek.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Do you guys really consider a traitor like me as a comrade?”
ㅤ
The three snort through their noses.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“””Be thankful to Kyrie-sama.”””
ㅤ
ㅤ
. . . . . .All three of them do acknowledge her, after all.
But it was embarrassing, so they acted as if they only did it because Kyrie told them to.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Vajra stands up on her own, laughing.
ㅤ
“Yeah, of course. . . . . .Thank you, everyone.”
