Kuro no Maou

Episode 343: The Third Trial

"- Ahhhhhhh!!

I'm screaming, I feel like it.

Does it hurt? Does it hurt? No, this is more, like, a nasty feeling.

Oh, yeah. It's just like being ravaged, subjugated, dominated, and made into such a mess in your head with the worst white circle like that 'thought control device (Enseling)'.

I'm being brainwashed by something right now.

I don't see anything. I can't hear anything. There is just even discomfort and disgust.

Stop, stop, I'm me. Nobody else.

I desperately show a willingness to resist, but I can't stop 'something' trying to get into this brain. Stop, I don't...

"Damn... Ah, ah..."

Even being conscious is painful and painful.

Suddenly it starts tickling in front of me. Toxic purple brightness. To the point where I'm going blind, no, maybe my eyes are already crushed.

Now I hear noises in my ears. Loud noise, no point. Just noise. But I take my temper away so that I can get cursed and murmured.

Nose next. Stimulating odor like piercing a needle. Next up is the tongue. At the end of the day, the whole body.

Five senses go mad. The sight, the hearing, the smell, the taste, the touch, the pain that goes with each of them all irritate me.

That's enough to make you want to let go of your own flesh!

So when my consciousness tried to lean towards a gentle suicide... I felt like the light had plugged in.

Gentle, soft, white shine everywhere, not purple sparks attacking vision.

Gradually, the white light begins to take a clear shape. Yes, it's a white feather.

"- Ahhh!!

The moment, the consciousness, the five senses, all return to normal. Feels like I just woke up from a deep sleep in this place.

Heavy rain falling as usual. Green Gore wreckage. Both arms feel heavy like they have changed to lead, due to the tiredness of wrapping their bodies.

I guess I almost lost consciousness for just a few seconds. The same sight just now is in front of me.

The only difference is that the culprit of that mental attack is rolling in front of us.

"Oh well... is he the 'Slowsgill'"

Some suffering on muddy ground can only be described, after all, as an electric shock in the shape of a lamia,

The entire length of about two meters is enclosed in purple electricity, and barely the head appears to have an orbit and mouth that is tucked like a man's jaw.

Do you hear something like a groan in pain because he has a voice organ, or is it just the sound of an electric shock that can be played?

I twist my long thunder tail to the left and right, and my four-fingered thin arm crawls desperately on the ground. It glides around like it would even crawl forward.

This creepy looking monster is the slothgill that bears the name 'laziness'.

It's the first time I've seen it, but still at a glance I could determine it only because Mia gave me the left eye that showed me the red glow that proved him to be a monster of the trials.

It looks like there's a crimson line running just around the spine. Perhaps that is a testament to the crusade to be offered there.

"Nor does the information on the Alliance really make you athe..."

When I looked it up before, it said what, Slowsgill is likely a mutant species of monster very similar to the catfish named 'Maznakurus'.

But the truth is, it doesn't resemble catfish, Lamia type. It's impossible to deduce from the false-mixed guild information on those few that combined dangerous abilities to create up to a legion of monsters after parasitizing into Rank 5 monsters. When it comes to the right information, it has powerful lightning attributes, so much so.

But I guess even the ecological identity is obscure, which means a rare monster. I swallowed what was written, which can also be described as my lack of attention.

Well, reflection is behind us.

"The third trial is also cleared thanks to Nell..."

"White Wings of Heart Guard Feather", the amulet I received from this Nell, correctly protected my heart.

I was originally insured against being possessed by the Curse Weapon to participate in the Curse Gladiator Games (Curse Carnival), but I didn't expect it to be useful here.

This amulet is not curse-only prevented, but has a healing effect on mental state abnormalities in general (Bad Status), such as charm (Charm) and confusion (Panicos).

This means that it also supports parasites (parasites).

Conversely, like the Purple Crystal Eye (Amethyst Gaze), it has no reaction to attacks that directly affect the flesh. It didn't help at the heart of the production, but it doesn't make a difference that you saved my life as a result.

Really, I don't know what a thank you to tell Nell.

But at any rate, just bounce Slowsgill off my head, and all the power of the amulet has been exhausted.

If you take out the white blades you left sneaking in the inner pockets of the coat's chest, the blurry, shining light completely disappears and the shades are turning into burnt-out grey.

If the wind blew all the time, it collapsed as if it had become real ash, disappearing to escape Sarah and my hands.

Activation should not have been a one-time limit, but that would have meant that it was a parasitic (parasitic) ability of a Rank 5 monster on a boulder.

Besides, if you give the counter of spiritual defense through the protection of Heavenly Empress Aria, the parasite should just disappear, so it also means that Slowsgill barely has the life force he deserves in Rank 5.

But there's no point in surviving every second of every minute in such a dying state anymore.

My fatigue is also near its limit due to the activation of the Demon King of Fire (Overdrive), but still, I still have enough power to stab Todome in this ugly, muddy, depressed slothgill.

Of course he has a crust as hard as a greedgore, not even scaly. If you specialize in parasitic (parasitic) abilities, naturally you don't have a tough flesh. Koitz is probably a semi-entity magical creature, close to evil spirits (Reis) and elemental spirits (Elemental). All in all, that type is brittle if you tap it.

But I can feel it tapping this chunk of electric shock directly. Besides, I don't even know if I can punch properly with my current arm strength.

Then there is only one weapon to choose from.

Removed from the shadow was a prototype gun with a double muzzle. Simon made it, and I'll clear up the grudges he put on Morjura.

The gun in both hands feels a hundred times heavier than usual. Though I set it up, the muzzle trembles.

But at this distance, I won't take it off. I'll make sure my bullet punches your head out.

"... Demon Bullets (Barrett Arts)"

One gunshot marked the end of the third trial.
