Act 2: Chapter 53: 《Mystic Eye of Binding》
「That relaxed face of yours is really pissing me off! It must be because you’ve never encountered a true monstrosity until now! Now I shall show you the true terror of the Demon King!!」
Mother pulled back her arms that resembled that of a giant tree.
「DON’T THINK THAT YOU CAN CHALLENGE ME ALONE WITH A HALF BAKED PLAN! NOW DIE WHILE GRIEVING OVER YOUR OWN STUPIDITYYYYYYYYY!」
Mother brandished her giant tree-like arm, aiming her claws at me.
I jumped lightly to the right to dodge it.
Numerous cracks formed across the ground the moment her claws struck the spot where I stood a moment ago.
「 A NICE REACTION FOR A HUMAN! IT WON’T BE FUN IF YOU DIE WITH THE FIRST ATTACK AFTER ALL! BUT, YOU’RE ONLY PROLONGING YOUR SUFFERIIIIIIIIIIING!」
Mother swung her other arm too.
I jumped up to the side to dodge Mother’s claw attack again.
Myself aside, 《Status Check》 could only see the level, HP, and MP of the target. At this point though, I’ve pretty much confirmed that Mother had nothing special about her status.
「I planned to chop your limbs at first but… it seems to be a bit too troublesome since you keep moving around! Oh well, PLAYTIME IS OVER!!」
Mother unleashed a claw strike aimed at my head.
I tilted my head slightly to dodge the strike.
Mother’s attacks were becoming sloppier as time went on.
It seems that the fact that she was continuously failing to land a hit on me was slowly getting on her nerves.
「H-How strange? Have my senses grown weaker because I hid for far too long in the deepest part of the nest? Attacking a mere human should be piece of cake and yet…!」
Mother unleashed another large swing at me.
I stretched my left arm to the side and caught Mother’s claws with my bare hand.
「…. WHAT THE!?」
I could feel Mother trying to put more power into her arm to push me back. She might be trying to squash me to death with her oversized arm.
Beads of sweat started to appear on Mother’s face. She was clearly losing her cool since she couldn’t overpower me despite her best efforts.
「N-NO WAY… THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN A MERE HUMAN… RIVAL MY STRENGTH!」
「Is that all you got?」
I held Mother’s claws with my left hand and took out 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》 with my other hand.
All of Mother’s eyes turned toward the sword in my hand at once. Her lips were trembling in fear just at the sight of my sword.
「S-STOP!」
Mother’s eyes focused on me and shone bright red. That red light was coiling around my body.
「T-Too bad for you… fufufu, I still have my 《Mystic Eye of Binding》. Since your strength is close to mine, you must be one hell of a terrifying human. It seems I have to re-evaluate the humans. But, a human can’t break my 《Mystic Eye of Binding》 without magical power!」
Mother then pulled up her other arm, preparing to crush me with it.
I circulated the mana in my body and put more strength into my arms.
「Humph!」
The eyeballs on Mother’s face burst open one after another, drenching her whole face with her own bodily fluids.
「U-UGAAAAAAAAAA! MY EYES, MY EYEEEEEEEEES!!」
Mother pressed her face with her free arm.
I raised Mother’s giant body by the arm I still had caught and flung her away.
Her giant body flew through the air and crashed against the wall.
「UGWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」
The entire nest shook as she crashed into the wall.
The Ragno that saw the scene from a distance ran at once. It seems they’d judged that the current situation was abnormal.
Mother pulled half up of her body that was sunken into the wall and turned toward me immediately.
The nest shook once again and a bunch of debris fell around Mother.
「I-IMPOSSIBLE! WHY ISN’T MY 《MYSTIC EYE OF BINDING》 WORKING!? STOP, STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!」
Mother’s eyes kept blinking with that ominous red light again and again. Those red lights tangled around my body every time they flashed, but it vanished before even showing its effect.
And every time that happened, one of the mother’s eyes burst apart, sending forth a spray of her bodily fluids.
Guessing from her remark, it seems that the 《Mystic Eye of Binding》 only showed its effects if there was a huge difference between the magical power of its caster and the target, with the target being the lower one.
Since Mother’s magical power was proportional to her level, there was no way that those eyes would work on me.
「STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP PLEASE STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! WHAT IN THE H*LL ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!?」
Mother was screaming hysterically as she asked that question.
The densely packed muscle-like mass on her human head was moving frantically. Almost all the eyelids that were still open burst apart at the same time.
At that moment, the red lights came together as they coiled around my body.
「Urgh.」
My legs felt heavier for some reason and it was harder for me to take a step forward.
Is this, the effect of the 《Mystic Eye of Binding》?
「Y-YES… NOW I CAN ATTACK THE COMPLETELY DEFENSELESS YOU! T-THAT’S REALLY CLOSE ONE BUT, THIS IS THE E—!」
「Fuh!」
I put in more effort and stepped forward.
The red lights that were tangling around my body tore apart with ease.
At that moment, Mother’s giant frame shook. Her arms were trembling nonstop.
「Am I just… running out of… mana? I-Impossible… why? Am I running out of mana just… stopping that man for a moment?」
I walked toward Mother with the 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》 in my hand.
At that moment, several lumps of earth floated around Mother.
It seems she was using her threads to manipulate those lumps of earth.
I could see the thin threads as long as I strained my eyes.
「IMPOSSIBLE! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! I-I SHOULD BE A SPECIAL BEING! I SHOULD BE THE DEMON KING AMONGST DEMON KINGS! I SHOULD BE THE GOD OF MONSTERS! I SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO PUT AN END TO HUMAN HISTORY AND BUILD A MONSTER UTOPIA! I REFUSE… I REFUSE TO DIEEEEEEE!」
Mother swung her arms, flinging the lumps of earth toward me.
I easily cut through every single lump of the earth as if they were made of tofu with the 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》.
The sliced lumps of earth vanished due to the effect of 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》.
「H-HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! MONSTER! MONSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER」
I closed in at once and slashed at Mother with 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》.
Mother’s arms fell to the ground with a thud, spraying her bodily fluids from its cross-section.
「HIIIIII! HIIIIIIIIII! NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LILY! MARIE! MERY! DORYYYYYYYYY! SAVE YOUR MOTHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!」
Mother twisted her body in an effort to escape.
But, I had already slashed her body, so the moment she twisted her body, her upper half would slide off and her bodily fluids would spurt from the cut section.
The bodily fluids that gushed out from her body soon turned into small puddles.
「AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」
The mother’s upper half and lower half were writhing as she screamed in agony.
Her upper half soon fell with a thud, only twitching every once in a while.
