"Uu... gururururu..."

Momo moans.

I suddenly wanted to close my ears to that voice.

The object of Momo's moaning voice is not an intelligent zombie - it's me.

Momo is hostile to me.

In fact, I was about to have my chest crushed.

Repeat shallow breathing, holding your chest back.

Then Momo stepped out a step ago.

Don't let me go.

I...

"Momo... stop..."

"Uu....."

Momo had a terrible and painful expression.

I don't like it, and the feeling that I don't want to do it is conveyed.

But the next moment, Momo was in the shadows and jumped on me.

"Uhh... woohoooo!"

Ah, Momo!

The tingling and atmosphere tremble, and cracks occur in the asphalt.

Momo's "Scream" skill.

Now that you've evolved and raised your level, it's more powerful than even High Oak.

Without the magic of Aka's defenses and Kiki's support, I would be as powerful as I am now.

I sewed a shadow on the ground and managed to endure it as I was about to be blown away.

"Guu... momo!"

Ahhhhhhh

I cast a shadow at the monster.

It's just a shadow for restraint.

I'm not going to hurt Momo.

But Momo put it where it was.

Play in your own shadow, use that recoil to distance yourself from me.

... that's the way we used to fight monsters.

I can't believe I'm using it on my family...

"Chuu, chuu...?"

"?... (sifting)?"

Aka and Kiki stare at me in confusion.

I wonder if they haven't swallowed the situation yet.

More stories about Sola arrive from above.

Kazuto! What's wrong with you? Why are the spiders attacking me?

I'm being manipulated by enemy skills!Sorry, I was alarmed!

Nandato? How dare you...! That zombie... forgive me!I'll never forgive you, Nuzo!

The emotions of anger are conveyed along with the sudden story.

I was glad that Sola was so emotional for Momo.

But, uh...

No! Stay in the air and wait for Sola!

Why not!

I don't know what the enemy's skill requirements are, but if I were to manipulate you, that would be the worst!

Nu......!

In this situation, if Sola gets into his hands, we won't fight anymore.

If the zombie's destiny were Sora, not Momo... no, it's much more likely.

Then we can't let Sola get close to him.

"Please... I'll definitely help Momo.So wait a minute. "

"... good karo. Daga, Kazuto - dead Nuna?"

"I know, thanks, Sola."

We'll take care of it.

I was pleased with Sola's trust.

"Chuu, chuu...?"

"... (sifting)?"

"It's okay, I'll take care of it.Aka and Kiki, hide in the shadows. "

Beyond being a monster, it's dangerous for Aka and Kiki to fight like this.

All right, calm down.

Check the status quo.

That intelligent zombie uses some skill to manipulate monsters.

Probably the same lineage skills as the monster girl who fought at school.

(... use "The Jewel of Healing"?With this, we can probably help Momo.But this is a one-time item.There's no point in using the same skill again....)

Then there is one thing to do.

Defeat that Intelligence Zombie. That's all.

"Kyuu...."

"... (sifting)"

Kiki and Aka hide in the shadows while sending a line of sight saying, "Good luck."

At the same time, Momo ran away.

Nh!

They're coming at me again.

Fast.

Agile movement with canine specific springs.

How many times have I played with my enemies in this move?

(I know. Momo is strong. Fighting properly makes me dangerous.)

I've seen that strength next door more than anyone.

But that's why I know that "weakness" better than anyone.

"--Item Box"

I used an item box to store Momo's "Foot" asphalt.

It can be stored in my item box if it is part of it, not in the surrounding area.

Naturally, monsters float in space for a moment.

"Wow!?"

At that moment, the shadow of the monster disappears.

Shadow Skills cannot be activated without feet on the ground.

This is a weakness in Momo's skills that has remained unchanged since its inception.

In normal combat, I've been fighting with my item box to cover this weakness, and I can alleviate it depending on the conditions.

We've fought together more than anyone.

Everything in our hands knows about each other.

I'm approaching the defenseless monster at once.

Wow...

"- Momo, I'm sorry."

Smack Momo's nose trying to use the screaming skill and force him to cancel the skill.

"Gyah!?"

My heart hurts.

Why do I have to raise my hand to Momo?

But this is the only way.

Shadow skills can't be used, shouting is canceled, and the current monster can't attack, defend, or evade.

Expand the "shadow" at once at your feet and cover up the monster.

"─ Wow......"

Without resistance, Momo was put in my Shadow Cage.

On the verge of being stored, Momo had a reassuring expression.

Even if I was manipulated, Momo trusted me.

I think I can handle myself.

That's why I came all the way.

"Thank you, Momo... It may be cramped, but just give me a moment."

The Shadow skill is stronger than mine.

More than being manipulated, if you resist inside, you'll have a few minutes of finesse.

In the meantime...

"Hey...."

Stare at the Intelligence Zombie.

Then he laughed invincibly,

"Oh, that's nice. That's a nice look.It's not the top at last. I think I saw the inside of you. "

――

Something cut my head in that voice and that expression.

Do you have any idea who put your hand up?

I... I raised my hand against the monster?

I won't forgive you... never.

Gradually, a magma-like fever is infinitely overflowing from the inside of your body.

"Proficiency reached a certain level"

Anger has risen from LV5 to LV6.

"Proficiency reached a certain level"

Anger has risen from LV6 to LV7.

"Proficiency reached a certain level"

Anger has risen from LV7 to LV8.

"Proficiency reached a certain level"

Anger has risen from LV8 to LV9.

"Proficiency reached a certain level"

Anger has risen from LV9 to LV10.

"Certain conditions have been met."

"You have acquired the skill 'Fury'"

Skill "Fury" is integrated into "Fury".

The fury has gone from LV1 to LV3.

"Fury activated."

Each stat goes up.

"The power of all skills is increased."

"Thinking skills will decrease."

"Proficiency reached a certain level"

"" Mental distress tolerance "has increased from LV8 to LV9."

"Thinking power returns to normal."

"I'll kill you."

"Try it."

Get Kunai and I'll be out front.

Hurry up!

"Uh-oh!"

Fill the distance in an instant.

It was surprisingly fast for me.

Shake Kunai.

Intelligence Zombies react with a brief delay.

The moment Kunai and Magic Sword intersect, activate the Item Box.

Store the asphalt at your feet, as you would at Momo.

Scaffolding.

The Art of Fire!

"Nh!?"

The scaffolding disappears and floats in the air for just a moment.

At that moment, I activate the technique of fire.

Super thermal power at almost zero distance.

"Suicide bombing - no, reflex!?"

Correct. Even with a suicide attack, I have a powerful support magic (buff) that Kiki used in advance.

Once only, we can attack with zero collateral risk.

For the record, I won't forgive you anymore.

"Heh heh... I'll do it"

Intelligent Zombies appear in black smoke.

I have a slight burn, but to that extent.

Tattoo hang.

The next thing I took out of the item box was a Shinobi.

A weapon that can be crafted with Super Jinx Craft LV5.

Naturally, it's a sword made with the highest skill.It's not just a sword.

This weapon can use a special skill called "Ninjutsu Grant."

Literally, as a special effect, you can give Ninjutsu one.

"― ― Grant Thundercracker "

Grants the Shinobi a skill.

The super ninja art of thunderbolt hiding.

The discharged, pale sword literally changes into a single thunder.

"Crazy"

"Ghhh!"

The Intelligent Zombie Magic Sword and my Shinobi Sword are staggered.

Immediately, a discharge phenomenon occurs and the voltage burns out the body of the zombie from the inside.

Of course, I, the owner, am not in danger of electric shock.

But not zombies.

You're paralyzed. You can't move freely.

Of course, there is no way to miss that moment.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

Slash.

Head, torso, arms, neck.

Anyway, I'll chop it up.

The body of the intelligent zombie was incredibly hard.

The stats and skill effects enhanced by "Acute Thrust" and "Breath Through" are combined, and the slash is shallow even though I should be slashing it with all my strength.

(Ascension effect of Arrogance?... is this still advantageous?)

Certainly, this situation, where Momo is housed in a shadow cage and can only be covered by Ichinose-san's shooting without Kiki and Aka's support, is certainly a favorable situation for intelligent zombies.

But is it so hard to cover up?

As a matter of fact, it's going to work like this, and I'm not much injured myself yet.

The situation changes as much as it depends on how you fight.

(Are you still hiding something?)

Oh, my stomach is boiling with anger, but my thoughts are strangely calm.

Your body is getting stronger.

Is it because of the Fury skill you just acquired?

The status will rise and announcements will probably flow.

Kuhaha...

Blood comes out and zombies laugh viciously.

Shake the Magic Sword.

At that moment, the buildings around me are making a noise and collapsing.

Still, I don't relax.

He shakes his sword many times and slashes zombies.

"Kuhahahahahaha!! Good! Good! Oh, it's fun!I knew it would be fun to fight you. "

……

The tone is as if you really think so.

That's what makes me nervous.

"...... it is."

Hmm?

"What the hell, you!What are you doing this for? "

In a fierce offensive, the intelligence zombie had an unexpected look on my voice.

Just like you said you couldn't really understand my question.

"Whatever...."

And with a very natural expression,

"That's because I'm a monster and you're human, isn't it?"

"... ah?"

For a moment, I was stunned.

In that gap, the intelligence zombie flew behind me and got away from me.

"You humans hunt our monsters.Raise your level, strengthen your skills, and gain more power.To survive. "

……

"I'm not saying that's a bad thing.Weak eating is the rule of the world.The weak are always the sustenance of the strong.So what do we do to keep the weak alive?It's settled. Think, manipulate, make a gap, beat the strong.Just like you, I'm just thinking about it and doing it for me. "

"... then why are you aiming at us?What's the point of taking so much trouble? "

"That's what I'm talking about. Because I'm the owner of Pride and you're the owner of Premature."

"What...?"

"I told you the first time I met you.We are not the chosen beings.I'm just a lucky weak man.Because I am weak, I think, I think, I just think, I poke my teeth at the strong.Unlike the race, you and I were overwhelmingly weak, so we got stronger. "

……

"I respect you.From the bottom of my heart, it's dazzling to me that you're here to gather, empower, and grow stronger. "

Intelligence Zombies point their magic sword at me.

That's why I want to kill you.

"I want to kill you, I want to go beyond you."

"When that happens, I feel like I'm born into this world for the first time and I can be a strong man."

It's too crazy, selfish to think about the other person.

Thoughts completed as monsters, incompatible with humans.

An arrogant way of life that completes the world on its own.

"--This is bullshit."

Damn it, there's plenty.

"To do such a nasty thing, you destroyed this safe zone that we built, and you even set your eyes on it like that?"

"Pointing at the opponent's weaknesses is fundamental to tactics."

"Shut up!"

"Don't shut up. I want to survive this world as much as I want to, so that you can gather your friends and survive this world.To do this, think, make a plan, and use everything.I want to hurt you, despair you, and kill you.That's how I live as a monster in this world! "

At that moment, an enormous amount of energy overflowed the body of the intelligent zombie.

"Hmm...!? What...?"

"I'll tell you what, premature owner.The essence of our skills. "

The essence of a skill...?

"Do you think our skills are just an increase in experience and points?No, not at all.That's not the essence of our skills. "

An intelligent zombie with a deep smile holds one hand in heaven.

"Order! Individual: Chaos Frontier System Server accessed from High Ghoul!"

"Hmm!?"

What the hell?

What the hell is he doing?

"I've been thinking.I don't have a name yet.If I could be given a name, what name would it be? "

……

"Unlike you humans, the name given to us monsters indicates our very existence.That's why I want to name the skills I was given when I was born in this world, this arrogance. "

Zazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"Nh...."

I had a headache.

What is it, man?

Noise sounds in your head.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Answer me now! It's a chaos frontier!"

The noise that resonates in your head increases in intensity, as it responds to the voice of intelligent zombies.

"Zazza-zazza-zazza-zazza-zazza-zazza-zazza-zazza-zazza"

"The target individual meets the conditions... the conditions... the different conditions..."

"No - No - No - Zaza - Connection - Connection - Successful"

Your application has been received

"We certify the target individual as a named monster"

"We will name the object" Allogans "as the name of the individual."

"You will receive a bonus reward"

"Enhance various stats"

"You have acquired the unique skill" Blood Corpse Region ""

Announcements flowing in your head.

What is this...?

I don't know, did he... certify himself as a named monster?

Stupid, how could you do that?

"It's possible. This is the power of Arrogance!Intervention and tampering with the system!It's my power to be invaded by no one! "

The energy of intelligent zombies increases as they respond to their voices.

It was like Dark Wolf who evolved at school.

"Let's introduce ourselves again, premature owner.My name is Alogantz. I will kill you and I will be born into this world.I won't let anyone disturb me. "
