On The Other Side: I Quit Being Human

Chapter 130 A Father And His Daughter's Killer (End)



Thud!

"Gahak!"

As my body touches the floor, Yule is also slammed to it. My lasso is tightened around her neck as both Niles and I are pulling it from two different sides.

She instinctively tries to loosen it, which resulting in her letting go of her lasso. Thanks to this, her lasso that is wrapping around my feet loosens, and I can free myself from it.

Niles, however, proves himself to be a tactful person; just before I tighten the tie—just before I pull my lasso, he lets go the end of it. I get it back, but I also let Yule breathe once again in the process.

"Heeuuuh! Kuhuk-kuhuk!"

Swish!

Swiftly moving to the side, I successfully dodge a sword that Niles has thrown at me. I am once again amazed at how strong his throw is, but I am also starting to get annoyed by his intervention.

He has been staying idle for the past minutes, and only attacks when the girls give him the opportunity to. Nothing is wrong with that—everything is fair and square in the battlefield—but it doesn't change the fact that it is outrageous.

Fortunately, Niles is not the only person fighting with an advantage. He may have the girls to help him distract me, but I have my mask that allows me to see Mana Flow and increase my ability to sense it.

Because of that, although he has caught me off guard more than once, none of his attacks have ever hit me.

"Is being a spectator enough for you, Niles? I bet you are itching to cave my head in."

Crack!

I lash my lasso to the side, creating a visible dent in the floor. Niles doesn't respond to my question, but his face already shows me the answer to my question.

Smirking, I lash my lasso to the front to intercept Yule's that is coming at me. Our lasso get tangled to each other, and I use that as an opportunity to pull her toward me.

She has a nice reflex; I can see her muscles twitching as she tries to let go of her lasso. Before she lets go of it however, I have already pulled her hard enough to lift her off the floor. With the help of Wind Magic, she flies to me.

"Oh, no!" She panics, but she still thinks straight enough to take out her Cross Pendant. "[O God, the merciful, protect me from this evil]!" She shouts quickly.

The Cross Pendant shines blindingly in white, but that is the only thing it can do. I don't feel my skin is burning; so other than slightly impairing my vision, which is not that big of a problem, it does nothing to me.

Bam!

"Kahak!"

Punching Yule right in her stomach when she is right in front of me, I twist my hand, and overwhelm it with Mana. Compressing the Mana, I discharge it soon after.

"[Death Blow]!"

Boom!

As my Mana is discharged, I blow a hole in her stomach, destroying her innards. Her armor and the Barrier she has sloppily erected are nothing in front of the might of my Skill.

I tilt my head to the side to dodge the blood churning out of her mouth, and throw her to the side afterwards. Zoela, who is seeing the entire scene, widens her eyes in shock, and tries to stand up despite her injury.

Her fear abruptly disappears—all I can feel from her is an insurmountable rage. She is directing that rage at me, and for some wicked reason, I can't stop myself from grinning.

"Ugh... Demons shall perish when God delivers us The Chosen One..." Yule grabs on my ankle as she tries to lift her body and glares at me. "You can laugh now, but in the near future—"

Schwing!

I decapitate her even before she finishes her nonsense. "Relax. I will slay your God and his Chosen One in one go in the near future."

"NOOOOO! Yule!"

Zoela cries her heart out; tears are profusely running down her face. She walks and glares at me fiercely, uncaring to the fact that she is going to spill her viscera out by doing that.

"Stop." Vinetta, who has been too stunned to move for the past minutes, holds Zoela's shoulder. "One of us has died. I don't want you to be the second one."

"V-Vinetta..."

Uncaring to Zoela's response, she forces Zoela to sit back down; and turns her eyes at me. She looks at me calmly as if she is not enraged at all, but I can feel her extreme rage that is not less than Zoela's.

"Have you ever seen a Demon regretting what he has done?"

"We have done many things, and the only thing we regret ever doing is allowing humans to kill tens of thousands of our offsprings in a day. Then again, none of us can prevent a tragedy from happening." I shrug.

"What an expected response..." She sneers, then turns to Niles. "This time, I—we will show you how a Demon regretting the thing he has done, which is provoking the wrong opponent!"

Boom!

A blast of Mana sweeps the entire room as a blue line connects Vinetta and Niles. It is strong enough to almost sweep me off my feet, so I can't help but wonder what they are doing.

Both of them are now exuding an equally powerful Mana Pressure. Their eyes are completely shining in blue as if they have replaced their eyeballs with LED lamps.

"Is that [Virimisce]? Oh... So, that's why the two of them have been passive for the entire time."

I figure out what is happening to them not long after. They have cast a Multi Spell called [Virimisce], which allows them to share their power to each other.

I have never learned this Spell since I don't think I will ever have the opportunity to use it, but I have been taught about it quite a lot by Valeria.

With this spell, Vinetta now has the same power as Niles, whereas Niles has some of his power cut because he has shared a part of it to her. I

I don't think it's a nice bargain for Niles, but it is indeed going to make things more annoying for me, because technically, I am going to fight two Niles.

Boom!

As the two kick the floor to come at me, the tiles shatter to pieces. All of them are coming from one direction, but I still find myself conflicted about what I should do.

I eventually decided to take Rexorem out and stab it into the ground, and generate a Magic Barrier using the Magic Stone. In less than two seconds, the two arrive in front of me, and punch the Magic Barrier.

Boom!

Their punch is powerful enough to push me back, even though Rexorem is embedded in the floor. A shallow and narrow trench is carved on the floor because of that, and my Magic Barrier shatters a few seconds after.

"That was a good combo. You almost got a critical hit on me," I remark.

Shiing!

Both of them are not having it; instead of responding me, they take their swords out. Their movement is in sync, and looking at that, I can't help comparing them to robots.

"You know, the key to [Virimisce] is the—"

Swish!

Vinetta's sword reaches me before I finish my sentence. I manage to dodge that, of course, but it is still surprising that she can move that fast.

Pulling Rexorem out of the floor, I swing it at her. She jumps back, successfully dodging it; but she is definitely taken aback when Rexorem discharges a Mana Sword at her.

She managed to dodge it, but it still cuts her shoulder slightly. The cut is by no means deep, but a hit is a hit.

Expecting her to come at me after receiving the cut, I blink my eyes when she dashes back at Niles. When she is within his reach, he immediately dashes at me.

"Well, isn't that weird?"

Clank!

Blocking Niles' sword, I shrug. "Maybe, it's one of the disadvantages of using [Virimisce]." Smiling, I add, "Do you think so too, Niles?" At this, his Mana Pressure increases.

I can't help smirking at that since I can sense their connection falters slightly when he does that. Although I have learned about [Virimisce], I still can't help getting excited when I see its weakness right in front of my eyes.

​ Boom!

Niles blasts the Mana in his sword, sending me skidding to the back. The blow is powerful enough to make my hands tremble, but it is still nowhere near enough to deal a fatal injury to me.

"You know, the key to [Virimisce] is your Link, the connection between your mind and your partner. Once one of you loses—"

Swish!

Vinetta suddenly appears in front of me, swinging her sword at my neck. I parry it to the side, letting her sword hit the floor.

Crack!

Sighing in exasperation, I shout, "Hey, Niles! Do you want to hear a story about the girl who screamed her father's name when I strangled her?"

Making a distance, a smirk adorns my face. "I heard that her name was Felicia."

At that, the connection between Vinetta and Niles is suddenly terminated. Vinetta's Mana Pressure drops dramatically, whereas his increases significantly.

I have managed to enrage him by merely mentioning his daughter's name. Immediately dashing at me, the father ferociously swings his sword at his daughter's killer.
