29. Prisoner’s Rebellion
A lump of bone hit the ground and produced a huge amount of smoke.
The {Corpse Emperor} saw the scene and was convinced of his victory.
“I won. I won! Finally, I killed the sealer!!!”
He made a victory pose and turned his back on the smoke.
“Look… Look! This is my ―― “
At that moment, the {Corpse Emperor} noticed something.
Some footsteps were creeping behind him.
When he turned back, he saw the figure of a naked man who jumped out from the smoke.
————————— (Seal POV)—————————–
A bunch of bones was approaching.
I picked up the pebble I prepared in advance.
―― My second trump card.
A Magic Circle and my name were written on it.
I threw a pebble at a bunch of bones. At the same time, I hit my own body with my right fist and put a character stamp on myself.
” ―― ‘CLOSE’ !”
My body was sucked into the thrown pebbles.
This was called, ‘Self-sealing’.
The old man said to me that self-sealing was a high-level Sealing Technique.
He didn’t say it was difficult to seal yourself, he just said that it was difficult to unseal after Self-Sealing.
Perhaps you couldn’t release it on your own once you sealed yourself.
I heard from Shura that when she was being sealed, she didn’t remember anything. When she was inside, she was unconscious. If that was the case, I couldn’t release myself. At least that was what I thought.
Surely, when my skill became better in the future, I might be able to release it on my own, but I couldn’t do it now.
But, the only way to break the seal wasn’t only that. If the vessel was destroyed, the content would be released.
And I was sure the pebbles would be crushed with the {Corpse Emperor}’s attack, which meant that I would be able to release myself.
Anyway, I was sucked by the pebble and sealed inside.
―― When I regained consciousness, I was in the smoke.
There was a time for about 0.8 seconds until the pebble was destroyed and the contents came out. Surely, that was just enough time for his attack to finish.
And now, as expected, I was naked…
Anyway, I picked up a piece of bone and drew a Magic Circle with my own blood. And I carved his name on it.
『”I won. I won! Finally, I killed the sealer!!!”』
I could hear a fool’s voice.
I kicked the ground barefoot and jumped out of the smoke.
“Look… Look! This is my ―― “
He noticed me and looked back.
My Red Mana has already run out. But at this distance――
――My fist will reach.
” ‘MARK’…”
My left fist hit his right cheek.
The character stamp emerged. The piece of bone in my hand glowed blue.
――It was long.
These ten steps were really long……
“The {Corpse Emperor}, ‘Reyes Rou Ampleur’ “
“SEALEERRRRRR!!!!!!!”
“I’ll give You Bastard, a lifetime imprisonment…”
―― “ ’CLOSE’ “.
A vortex emanated from a piece of bone and swallowed him.
Once it was established, it couldn’t be resisted.
“Don’t fuck with me! I’ll never, forgive you! SEALLERRRR!!!!”
The {Corpse Emperor} couldn’t resist and was finally sealed inside a piece of bone.
“Huufff, I’m really tired……”
I grabbed a piece of bone that was glowing red and lay my body on the ground.
“Old man, as someone who is still inexperienced, I did a good job, right?”
The threats were gone, and peace came to the <Seadust Island>.
This was the end of the battle with the {Corpse Emperor} ‘Reyes Rou Ampleur’.
———————————————–
The battle was finally over.
For the time being, I put on the pants worn by the {Corpse Emperor} and head toward the most seriously injured, Carrs. But――
“Wha-?!”
My knees fell.
Oh right, I forgot. I’m also at the limit.
I put the bone that I used to seal him in my pocket.
The situation is still quite bad. I don’t feel like I can move from here.
…Isn’t it the end if even one monster comes here?
The <Lion Spear>, <Lutta>, and <Osiris Orb> were scattered on the ground.
At the time of Self-Sealing, all of it was left behind by me, and the vessel broke and thus popped out of it.
It’s sure, quite troublesome after self-sealing, huh?
“….huh?!”
Are you for real…?!
I saw a shadow.
A shadow of a creature with wings.
Looking up, a dragon came down from the sky.
A black dragon with pure white eyes and a distorted aura.
I could instantly know that it wasn’t an ally.
The Mana released from its whole body was higher than that of the {Corpse Emperor}.
The dragon came down right in front of me, creating wind pressure with its wings.
“Oi, Oi… I come to pick up the {Corpse Emperor}, but what happened to that bastard?”
A black dragon.
However, the truly dangerous one was on its back.
Someone jumped off the back of the dragon. While holding the black mountain hat on his head.
A tall man with long white hair. He was wearing a long black coat. He had something in the shape of a cylinder on his waist that I had never seen before.
The man looked at me.
And, I recognized his face.
“――――”
So, this is what people feel when they’re at a loss for words?
The man’s face had wrinkles and at a glance, it looked gentle.
――『”Boy, what’s your name?”』
It’s a face that I know.
――『”You’re getting better at massaging, huh.”』
It’s a face that shouldn’t be there.
Because, I know, surely a month ago――!
“Old man…?!”
“Haah? Who the fuck are You?”
