Volume 4 Chapter 35 King of Mud
We worked together and took down the swamp monster.
"Ena's dad wasn't in there... This isn't the one that ate him."
I say, looking at the monster as it fell and melted away.
"So, more strong enemies are coming, huh?"
"Yeah. Looks like it."
What appeared before us was a small figure shrouded in a jet-black aura.
"Cino, teleport!"
"Y-yes, sir!"
Cino and the others teleport away.
I decide to stay behind.
"That's the one who ate Ena's dad."
"! E-Ena too...!"
"No. Cino, evacuate!"
Cino takes everyone and retreats to the surface.
Left behind are just me and the man clad in black armor.
[OWAKUBAHOTSUOATOAKIANAJURYA]
"AGEAMONONARUCHIAUSOBUAKU"
When I speak in their language, he murmurs in admiration.
[Ho... You understand. Our language?]
"Compared to the animals' silent voices, it's way too clumsy."
[I see... Interesting, the monkeys of the surface.]
The man sways back and forth.
"Who the hell are you?"
[I am the 'King of Mud,' born from the 'Transcendent Ones.']
"Transcendent Ones? What's that?"
[Beings with power that surpasses the laws of this world. Aren't you one of them?]
"Nah, I don't think so, and I don't know."
[I see... I sense something similar. Especially from your right hand.]
Transcendent Ones.
A new word.
Do extraordinary beings still exist in this world?
But, My plan doesn't change.
"I want you to give back Ena's dad that you took."
[That's an impossible request.]
"I don't want to resort to violence with someone I can talk to, but..."
[Don't hold back. Come at me with the intent to kill. I'll kill you without hesitation.]
I take my stance, and the King of Mud prepares for battle.
